MADAM BRUCE, American Palmist
I AM DIFFERENT FROM ALL OTHERS
NOT CLASSED WITH GYPSIES
Because I not only read your life like a
Pi book, but also help you out of your
troubles. For instance, what good would
it do to be told that you have a rival or
an enemy in your path unless you were
told how to overcome them, or in case
Bl you wanted to win the love of a certain
one, would you be satisfied to be told
it or would you rather know how to win
your desire? In fact, it does no good
simply to ce told of your troubles. I am
able to point out the path to success and
happiness and tell you how to overcome
all your troubles and difficulties—

THE CAIRO MESSENGER. FRIDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1949
State Tax Agents
Earn Five Times
Pay In 3 Months
In less than three months, 12
special State income tax agents
added for a crackdown on tax
dodgers already have assessed
taxes equaled to five times their
own annual salaries, it was re¬
ported this week.
State Income Tax Director
Fielding Dillard, making the first
progress report of the new agents’
activities, said yesterday they
had made assessments totalling
$176,000 in less than three months
of actual production work. Dil¬
lard said the State has collected
more than half of these new as¬
sessments against persons who
either had failed to pay old taxes
or who had failed to make their
returns large enough. Total sal¬
ary of the new men is $36,000 a
year.
The agents are checking the
Federal income tax returns of
Georgians against the records in
the State income tax office.
A sizeable amount of assess¬
ments were levied against citi¬
zens living in Georgia and work¬
ing in Chattanooga, Tenn. Resid¬
ing in what they considered a
suburb of Chattanooga, although
it was over the State line and in
Georgia, the group had failed to
file Georgia income tax returns.
Dillard said that income taxes
for personal service are levied
by the State in which the citizens
resides, and not by the State in
which he works.
Pleased with the showing made
by the new agents, the director
said this record shows that the
unit can increase its tax collec¬
tions if provided with adequate,
qualified personnel.
The new agents spent the first
two months in training before
going out on production them¬
selves. Their work is improving
daily, with larger revenue for
the State, he added.
Job Picture Better
Over Nation During
November
The job situation appeared to
be looking up in November—
even before the lift that the
Christmas sales season usually
gives to employment.
New figures from the Census
Bureau were welcomed by Secre¬
tary of Commerce Sawyer as
showing that “the job picture in
November was perhaps more fav¬
orable than at any previous time
this year.”
The figures, released by Saw
year this week, showned in brief:
60,954,000 Americans, counting
1,36,000 in the Armed Forces, had
jobs good for one hour a week
or more in November, even if
some of them weren’t actually
working because of illness,
strikes, vacations, etc.
The 59,518,000 civilian jobs in
November represented a gain of
517,000 over October, although
the total was 375,000 below No¬
vember, 1948, when the boom
was at its peak.
Furthermore, non-farm employ¬
ment, up 350,000 total, was “back
to the 1949 high recorded in the
late summer months,” the Cen¬
sus Bureau said. It added that
November “recovered the losses”
causd by the October steel and
coal strikes.
Unemployment dropped 167,
000 in November to a total of 3,-
409,000, altho it was fairly near
double the 1,831,000 total of
boomtime November, 1948.
