WHO SHOULD GET WINGS?
SCIENCE WANTS TO KNOW
DENVER—Medical science still
seeks an answer to the question
of "what made a good airplane
pilot tick?” ,
"Is a tall husky man a better
pilot than a short, slender man?”
asked Dr. Michael L. Mason of
the Northwestern University Med
ical School at a Denver medical
meeting.
"Is one type of man better qual
ified to fly at an altitude of 25,000
feet than another man?
"I suppose some of the answers
will be obtained through the trial
and error method.”
He said the answers would sim
plify the problem of the Army
Air Corps, which examines ap
plicants for army flying jobs.
Occasionally, a man will pass
the most rigid physical examina
tion. do brilliant work in the
ground school and then "flunk
the course” when he takes to the
air simply because he can’t stand
flying.

LIQUOR MAY FLOW,
JUNEAU UNTIL 4 A. M.
Cocktail bars and liquor stores
have the Juneau City's permis
sion to remain open every night
until 4 a.m.. as the result of pas
sage by the City Council of a
• much-discussed closing ordin
ance. '
It establishes closed hours of
from 4 a.m.. to 8 a.m.. daily and
from 4 a.m., to 1 p.m., on Sun
days.
Another new provision requir
es that every cocktail bar and
liquor store provide an unob
structed view of the interior
from the street. Frosted windows
must be unfrosted and Venetian
bi nds left open, in order to make
the business of policing the bars
a little easier.
"You can't buy groceries, or
Jr Ik for your children, in Jun
e..u, after 5 o'clock in the after
n.on," Nick Bavard said. “I don’t
see why you should have a bet
ter opportunity to buy liquor.’’
City Attorney Grover Winn re
minded Bavard that grocery stor
es closed at 5 o’clock by union!
agreement and not because the
City set a closing time by ordin
ance.

Instruction For Enforcement Of
SCHOOL TAX LAW
Four distinct remedies are pro
vided by Chapter 29 of the Laws
of 1919, -known as the School
Tax Act.
1. Where an individual liable
for the tax "refuses or fails for
ten days after demand to pay the
same, he may be prosecuted as
provided in Section 6.
2. Where an employer refuses
or fails after proper demand, to
funish the school tax collector
with a true list of his employees
who are subject to the tax, or
fails to pay the collector the tax
due from the employees, he may
be prosecuted as provided in the
seeond paragraph of Section 8.
4. Without civil or criminal
prosecution the Commissioner
may issue a warrant to the Mar
shal, directing him to seize the
property of the delinquent and
sell the same in the manner pro
vided by law. Before this is done
a complaint under oath must be
filed, showing the delinquency.
Such warrant may be issued both
against the empover and em
ployee, were both in default, as
provided by Section 9.
To aid the school tax collector
in taking advantage of the fore
going provisions in enforcing the
law the Attorney General's office
has prepared three forms of com
plaints, with three accompanying
forms of warrants, each number
ed 1. 2 and 3 respectively.
Form No. 1
To prosecute an individual for
failure to pay the school tax, com
plaint form No. 1 should be used.
When this complaint is signed,
sworn to and filed, the warrant
form No. 1 is used by the Com
misioner. At the trial of such a
case testimony should be intro
duced to prove the facts alleged
in the complaint. It is sufficient
to show that the defendant is ap
parently of the age alleged. In
ihe absence of testimony on the
subject, it will be presumed that
the defendant is not of a class
exempt from the tax, if it is
shown that he is of the taxable
age. However, it is safer to show
at the trial that he did not claim
exemption on the ground that he
belongs to the exempt class, and
if he did that the claim is un
founded. It should be shown that
he has been in Alaska for at least
thirty days between the first Mon
day of April and the first Monday
of August, and that either writ
ten or oral demand upon him for
the tax has been made at least
ten days before the complaint
was filed and that his tax had
not been paid.
Form No. 2
Where an employer fails to fur
nish the collector a list of the
employees liable for the tax,
form No. 2 may be used. This
form is applicable where the em
ployer is a corporation. A slight
change in this form will make it
applicable to an employer who
is an individual or a partnership.
This change may be made by
striking out the words “a corpor
ation” wherever they occur, and
changing the pronoun “it” to
“he” or “they”, as the case may
require. In event the defendant
is an individual, a warrant for
the arrest of defendant is issued
in the ordinary form. The sum
mons for a corporation must be
served upon the "president of
other head of the corporation,!
secretary, cashier or managing
agent.”
Form No. 3
When a distraint warrant is de
sired under the terms of Sec
tion 9 Form 3 is used. This form
is designed to apply to both em-1
ployer and employee, but may be!
changed so as to apply to either |
When this complaint is filed the
Commission should issue the dis
traint warrant form No. 3. If the
complaint be only against an in
dividual, the warrant should be
altered to correspond with the
complaint. Under this warrant it
is the duty of the marshal to
seize a sufficient amount of the
personal property of the delin
quent to pay the tax, penalty and
costs, and to sell the same afer
five days notice is given in the
manner provided by law.
