YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
When to Report Income From
Salaries, Wages, Etc.
Of th.e millions of income-tax
returns that are filed annually,
the vast majority are from sal- j
aried persons and wage earners
whose income is derived from
personal services.
In general, compensation for
personal services should be re
ported for taxation purposes in
the year it is received or unqua
lifiedly made subject to demand.
Compensation credited to the
account of or set apart for a
taxpayer, without any substan
tial limitation or restriction, and
which may be drawn upon by
him at any time, is subject to
tax for the year during which so
credited or set apart, although
not then actually reduced to pos
session. If the services were ren
dered during the year 1937, or
even prior thereto, but the com
pensation was not received, or
made unqualifiedly subject to
demand, by the taxpayer until
the year 1938, the entire amount
is taxable in the year received or
made unqualifiedly subject to de
mand, when the taxpayer is re
porting on the cash receipts and
disbursements basis, which is the
basis used by most person in re
porting net income.
The names of all employees to
whom payments of $1,000 or ov
er a year are made must be re
ported. The information return
should be made on Form 1099,
accompanied by transmital Form
1096 showing the number of re
turns filed. These returns should
be filed on or before February
15. 1939.
All of the various types of com
4>ensation, unless specifically ex
empt by statute, or exempt by
fundamental law, should be in
cluded in the taxpayer’s return
of gross income, such as salaries,
wages, fees, commissions, bonus
es, tips, honorariums, prizes,
awards, retiring allowances for
past services, etc. Where services
are paid for in whole or in part
with something other than mon
ey, the fair market value of the
thing taken in payment must be
included as income. Other items
subject to tax are fees received
by ministers of the gospel for
funerals, baptisms, masses, and
like services; executors’ fees; dir
ectors’ fees; Federal jury fees;
and prizes received in contests,
of various kinds.
The salaries of Federal officers
and employees are subject to tax 1
including the salary of the Presi
dent of the United States and j
judges of courts of the United
States taking office after the date
of enactment of the Revenue Act
of 1932, which was June 6, 1932.
The salary of the Vice President
of the United States, and the sal
aries of Members of the House of |
Representatives and the Mem
bers of the United States Senate
are also subject to income tax.

Moose Banquet
Entertainment
Huge Success
The Big Moose Roundup, enter
tainment and dance, including a
real moose meat banquet, was a
howling success both socially and
financially. Some 160 people at
tended the banquet and everyone
was loud in their praise of the
dinner and the excellent service
given by the Moose men who
handled every phase of the af
fair from start to finish. Great
credit is to be given to Moose
chef, Guy Elam, who is employ
ed at the North Pole Bakery, for
the delicious and tasty dinner
prepared by him and assisted by j
Harry Nelson as Chairman of the
banquet committee ably assisted
by some 15 other loyal helpers.
The school band under the dir
ection of Miss Stubkjaar, opened
the affair by several pleasing
numbers, after which photograph
er Curtis Jacobs took some flash
lights of the banquet.
Master of ceremonies Vice-Dic
; tator M. J. Walsh, following the
banquet announced several num
bers on the program all of which
were listened attentively to, and
received hearty applause.
Mr. and Mrs. Bjarne Olsen en
tertained their audience with a
character duet which brought
down the house, so tremendous
was the continuous applause,
that their number was the star
attraction of the evening. Miss
Ruth Ost ably assisted as accom
panist on the piano.
Chairman Walsh called on the
following for a few remarks:
Dictator of Moose Lodge Geo. S.
Maynard, Mrs. Garnet Martin,
head of the Women Moose organ
ization, U. S. Commissioner C. C.
Tanner, U. S. District Attorney
Charles J. Clasby, and A. Polet,
secretary of the Chamber of Com
merce, all of whom received
hearty applause.
Following the banquet, draw
ing for the $5 prize took place,
and was awarded to Mrs. David
Livingstone, who held the lucky
Tvn iPm. r* mI ^ <
number.
Willing hands soon cleared the
tables and chairs away and the i
crowd, which was the largest
seen in several years, danced to'
swing music and other old time!
dance numbers from 9 until;
shortly after midnight when the!
affair came to a glorious end.
Baseball
(Contributed)
Unless the Married Women up
set the Alaskan Women by an un 1
expected win, Wednesday night
will see the end of the current (
baseball season. The Alaskan Wo;
men registered a victory last j
Wednesday over the Single Girls |
who had previously defeated the
Married Women, so have the fa- j
vored spot.
The boys’ team will play off,
ihe rubber game as each has beat
en the other team once.
During the evening, basketball
fans who saw the exciting games
last fall will enjoy the presenta
tion of a large basketball trophy
to Kenn’s Bakery, the winner of
the championship. The donor of
the trophy, the Nome Sports
Association, will also present in
dividual basketball watch charms
to each member of the champion
ship squad. While this is a be
lated acknowledgement by the
Nome Sports Association it is
directly in line with their policy
of sponsoring and promoting a
well-rounded sports program in
the community.
