JUDICIAL REORGANIZATION PASSES SENATE ALL AMENDMENTS DEFEATED FINAL VOTE 40 TO 10 SALES TAX PAYMENT TABLE ANNOUNCED A table reflecting average State sales tax payments by District residents has been an- nounced recently by Ernest W. Bacon, Iowa District Director of Internal Revenue at Des Moines. Mr. Bacon said that the table may be used as a guide by District taxpayers in claim- ing sales tax deductions in their Federal In- come tax returns for 1960. Taxpayers who itemize their deductions instead of taking the standard deduction on Forms 1040 or 1040W may find the table helpful in estimating the amount to claim for sales taxes on their re- turns, he said. Mr. Bacon stated that the law requires taxpayers to substantiate any de- duction claimed on their returns and if re- quested they must be prepared to do so. Ordi- narily, however, they will not be asked to produce records to support the sales tax de- duction claimed unless it exceeds the amount shown in the table. Taxpayers who have ques- tions on this subject may telephone their nearest Internal Revenue Office, Mr. Bacon advised. For the benefit of the membership, set forth below is the table referred to: Single Adjusted per- gross income son Under $1,000 .. ......$10 $ 1,000 under $ 1,500 19 $ 1,500 under $ 2,000 23 $ 2,000 under $ 2,500 27 $ 2,500 under $ 3,000 31 $ 3,000 under $ 3,500 34 $ 3,500 under $ 4,000 38 $ 4,000 under $ 4,500 42 $ 4,500 under $ 5,000 46 $ 5,000 under $ 5,500 49 $ 5,500 under $ 0,000 52 $ 6,000 under $ 6,500 55 $ 6,500 under $ 7,000 59 $ 7,000 under $ 7,500 62 $ 7,500 under $ 8,000 66 $ 8,000 under $8,500 68 $ 8,500 under $ 9,000 70 $ 9,000 under $ 9,500 72 $ 9,500 under $10,000 74 $10,000 under $11,000 77 $11,000 under $12,000 80 $12,000 under $13,000 82 $13,000 under $14,000 83 $14,000 under $15,000 84 $15,000 under $16,000 84 $16,000 under $17,000 84 $17,000 under $18,000 84 $18,000 under 519,000 84 $19.000 under $20,000 84 Family Size 6 or more 2 per- 3-5 per- per- sons sons sons $24 $29 $37 24 29 37 28 32 41 33 39 47 39 46 53 44 51 59 50 58 65 55 65 73 61 72 80 66 78 87 71 84 94 75 91 100 80 96 106 85 103 113 89 109 120 93 114 126 97 119 132 100 124 137 104 128 142 108 135 150 114 144 161 117 150 170 121 158 177 124 164 184 126 167 189 128 171 193 128 175 196 128 177 197 128 178 198 On Wednesday, February 1, after an all day debate, the Iowa Senate passed Senate Joint Resolution 14, being the Judicial Amendment sponsored by The Iowa State Bar Association. As the Senate Journal for Wednesday, February 1 will show, seven votes were taken on various amendments which were offered and every amendment was defeated. From the very beginning, a solid core of 36 Senators steadfastly voted in favor of the proposal all the way and defeated all amendments. The vote on final passage was 40 to 10. This proposal for judicial reorganization, as every member of the Association knows, repre- sents more than six years of study, research and debate by countless judges and lawyers in every judicial district in Iowa. As stated, the Senate passed the proposal In the identical form in which it was passed in the last session and it Is hoped that the House of Representatives will do likewise so that the measure can be submitted to the people for a vote in the primary of 1962. As of this writing, the proposal is now in the hands of the House Judiciary No. 1 Com- mittee for action, and it is hoped that the Committee will see fit in the near future to report the bill out for passage.
