YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Who Must File Returns
Returns are required of every
individual who is single or who
is married but not living with
husband or wife who for the
year had a gross income of $5,000
or more or a net income of $1,000
or more, and of every individual
who is married and living with
husband or wife, if no joint re
turn is made and if (1) such in
dividual has a net income of
$2,500 or more or a gross in
come of $5,000 or more and the
other spouse has no gross in
come. or (2) such individual and
his spouse each has a gross in
come, regardless of the amount
of net income, and the aggregate
net income, of the two is $2,500
or more, or (3) such individual
and his spouse each has a gross
income and the aggregate gross
income is $5,000 or more. Widow
-ers, widows, divorcees, and mar
ried persons separated by mutual
consent are classed as single per
sons. The personal exemptions
are $1,000 for single persons and
$2500 for married persons living
together and for heads of famil
ies.
Husband and wife living to
gether at the close of the taxable
year may file a single joint re
turn (even though one has no
gross income) or make separate
returns of the income of each. If
separate returns are filed, one
may not report income which be
longs to the other, but must re
port only the income which act
ually belongs to him. If a joint
return is filed, such return is
treated as a taxable unit, and the
income disclosed is subject to
both the normal and the surtax.
The liability with respect to the
tax on a joint return is joint and
several. No joint return may be
made if either husband or wife
is a nonresident alien.
If a joint return is not made
by an agent of the taxpayers it
must be signed by both husband
and wife and sworn to before a
proper officer by the spouse pre
paring the return, or if neither
or both prepare the return, then I
by both spouses.
Where separate returns are fil
ed by husband and wife, the
joint personal exemption of $2,-1
500 may be taken by either or
divided between them in any t
proportion as agreed upon.
In filing a joint return husband |
and wife compute the earned in |
come credit in the same manner j
as in filing separate returns. If
taxpayer’s net income is not;
more than $3,000, the entire net
income is considered to be earn
ed net income.
Husband and wife may elect
each year whether to file a joint |
return or separate returns, i
Where, however, joint or separ-!
ate returns have been filed for a j
particular year, neither husband
nor wife may after the due date
of the return file an amended
return or returns on a different
basis for that year.

Chamber Holds
Noon Luncheon
A regular meeting of the North
western Alaska Chamber of Com
merce was called to order Tues
day, March 14th, by Chairman
Dr. Morcom in the dining room
of the North Pole Bakery. The
minutes from the last luncheon
meeting and the board meeting
held on Feb. 28th and March 7
respectively were read and ap
proved as .read.
Chairman Dr. Morcom called
on Vice-President Ralph Lomen
on the progress of the corres
pondence with the States. Mr.
Lomen stated that the number
of letters are numerous yet and
that about 150 recently received
were not taken care of but he
stated that our pamphlet would
answer the biggest portion of the
inquiries.
Chairman Morcom welcomed
back Judge Morison, and welcom
ed to Nome District Attorney
Clasby and Deputy Marshal B.W.
Neily from Fortuna Ledge who is
passing through Nome for his
new post at Kotzebue. He called
on Judge Morison for a shoTt re
view' of his observations while on
his trip to the States.
Judge Morison stated that he
had left Nome on the advice of
Dr. Morcom to seek sunshine and
left Nome on a day that was like
today. The sunshine and pleas
ant conditions, however, was
short lived, for before he reached
Fairbanks the plane had to land
on account of bad weather. He
left Fairbanks in nice weather,
but it seemed that he brought rain
whereever he went. When he ar
rived in Tennessee the rain pre
vented the sunshine he wanted.
He traveled in Texas, Mexico,
and Arizona but rain followed.
To cap the climax, he started for
Death Valley, where rain is sel
dom seen, and on his way he re
marked to a fellow passenger
that he was in fear that before
he left the section, rain would fol
low and true, it did happen—
it soon rained.
His Honor remarked that the
places he visited were familiar
as he had occasion a number of
times to go, over 25 years ago,
but he was mystified at the pro
gress and development. Where
bare unproductive lands existed
before, irrigation has made them
productive and the finest of
homes and cities have been built
along the finest large concrete
pavements and roads.
Talk about hard times, if you
judge by the activities and the
rush and bustle of .business—if
you wish a room in a hotel or a
seat on a railroad or a berth on
a steamer, unless you have res
ervations, • you have a poor
chance to obtain it. Everybody is
on the go and all seem well dress
ed and prosperous.
His Honor also stated that not
only his attention was called to
the deep interest of the people
in Alaska matters but he was
actually drafted a number of
times to speak on Alaska before

i Alaska # news is very insistent
