It has been clearly demonstrated
that the planking on Front street
and Steadman avenue is in great
danger of being completely destroy
ed if further hauling of heavy ma
terial continues. To obviate this
destruction of our planked streets
the city has mapped a Toute which
will overcome the difficulty.
As the wagons are loaded at the
dock they can travel north thru the
company yard, turning west just be
yond the coal pile following Third
avenue to Steadman avenue and
there make a wide turn across the
vacant lot owned by J. J. Hager pro
ceeding then north on Steadman
avenue to their destination at the
Oil plant or the hill at Dry/-reek.
This plan has settled a mooted
question relative to the breaking
down and consequent repairing of
our city streets. The city’s finan
cial condition is such that extensive;
repair to the planking is becoming J

The Bureau of Internal Revenue

paper in publishing information rel
ative to the new revenue law. Please
use the following for publication

BURN’S POE. Collector.
The following statement is issued
I) Collector of Internal Revenue.
Burns Poe. of the District of Wash:
Tacoma—Following recent deci
sions in the Supreme Court of the
United States in the cases of the
Union Trust Company et al. execu
tors versus Wardell. Collector, and
Shwab. executor, versus Doyle. Col
lector. according to Burns Poe Col
lector of Internal Revenue of the
District of Washington, the state
ment was published that it would
not be necessary for estates to file
claims for refunds to which they
were entitled under such decisions.
The existing regulations provide
for the refunding of estate taxes
only upon the filing of a claim there
for by the taxpayer. It will there
fore be necessary for all taxpayers
who are entitled to a refund of es
state taxes by reason of the above
entitled decisions to make formal
claim therefor on Form 843 which
claim should be filed with the col
lector for the district wherein the
tax was paid for transmittal to the
office of the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue for appropriate action.
Section 3228, Revised Statutes, as
amended by Section 1316 of the
Revenue Act of 1921 provides that
all claims for the refunding or cred
iting of any internal revenue tax al
leged to have been erroneously or
illegally assessed or collected must
be presented to the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue within four years
next after payment of such tax.
Consequently estate taxes affected
by the above decisions can only be
refunded provided a claim therefor
is filed within four years next after
the payment of such taxes.

SECOND DIVISION.
We commend the present National Administration for the wisdom
which has guided it daring a most difficult period of reconstruction caused
by the great World War, and we especially commend the actions of onr
Chief Executive, Warren G. Harding, for the able manner in which he has
disposed of all questions of international importance, also for the active
interest he has taken in Alaskan affairs.
We believe that more extensive powers should be granted the leg
islative and Executive Departments of the Territory conforming as nearly
as possible to Home Rule.
We believe that the Government should maintain a more adequate
mail service along our coast, more particularly from St. Michael's te
Kotzebue, ^ we advocate better and more adequate transportation,
either by government operation, subsidy or otherwise.
We advocate radio stations at all important towns in Alaska.
We advocate that more lights, buoys, etc., be placed along the coast
for the protection of life and property.
The present employers liability law, being unfair to the workman,
should either lx* repealed entirely or so amended as to grant more liberal
compensation for injuries.
We believe that a determinate effort should be made to secure an
adequate appropriation for the extension of the Nome breakwater.
WV believe that the present I*rimary should be so amended as
to encourage party loyalty, as well as to discourage corruption. We also
deem that the time for holding the primary election should be advanced
to a much later date.
We believe tliat a Probate Code should be enacted that does mot
permit estates of decedents to be absorbed by the courts or by the admin
istration thereof and which secures to the surviving relatives or legatees
the distribution thereof at a minimum of expense.
We believe that strict economy, consistent with good government,
must be practiced, to the end that taxes may be reduced to the minimum
and that the revenues derived from the seal fisheries be diverted to the
Territorial Treasury. *
We believe that the statute in regard to for sales should be amend
ed so as to prevent monopoly and to facilitate the dealing ia'furs.
We favor larger appropriations for roads and trails, also for shelter
cabins, especially in the outlying districts.
We appreciate the necessity of bringing to the attention of the
Government the importance of trade relations with Siberia.
We advocate a strict banking law providing to depositors the most
ample protection.
We advocate the appropriation of adequate funds to meet all the
necessary expense to maintain the schools In the outlying districts daring
the school year.
We hereby pledge our candidates to support the measures recom
mended above.
