Its the accepted custom for new editors to list all of the things
they intend to do, what kind of a paper they are going to put.out,..
all kinds of long range plans and goals and policy, be it liberal,
conservative or middle of the road. Also, many of our friends
have expressed their wish that we print more historical articles or.
“more, local.sports or more conserv
ation news; that we go daily or
by-weekly; return to the relatively more expensive clean white
Paper that was used when the NUGGET was printed on a sheet fed
Press, plus many, many other suggestions. Some of the ideas are
at present impossible but some of them are good ideas and we'll
try. to satisfy them within reason, But, and no disrespect meant
to gold friends or to custom, we won't list our good intentions,
preferences and prejudices today.
We'll be judged in time on
what we produce not on our promises and we'll settle for that,
We dohave a few ideas in mind for the paper and we hope youll
bear with us for a week or two while we put them into effect,

How much of your vehicle
fees for 1966 are deductible for
last year’s income tax purposes
in the federal and state returns
you are preparing to file by
April 15? ~
Department of Motor Vehicles
recently said most passenger
car owners with regular registrations.can détermine the deductible amount simply by
subtracting $9 from the total
paid lastyear on each car own-ed. See the amount on your
1966 DMV registration card.
(The. new 1967 registration .
cards now being issued do not
contain the information you
need for itemized 1966 tax
records.) Another large group
is composed of station wagon
owners who may subtract $10
from their total payments, and
in most cases may claim the »
remainder as deductible, —
The two subtracted amounts
are flat-annual registration fees
imposed under Vehicle,Code
provisions. The tax-deductible
balance is a two per cent "in
lieu” tax on the value of the
vehicle, collected by the state
under Revenue and Taxation
Code statutes for distribution
to cities and counties, It isa
substitute property value tax,
and therefore is deductible.
