U. S. jail, during the absence of Mar
shal Warsing, took out an American
flag and hoisted it at half mast over
the jail. When asked why he broke
into the Jail and swung the flag at
half mast he answered that the
building belonged to George Wash
nigton and he was a partner of Geo
rge, therefore, had all the right in
the world. The reason for the flag
at half mast was because the people
of Candle were all Bolsbevics. It
is understood that the Nome author

INCOME TAX LAW
TREASURY DEPARTMENT
INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE |
OFFICE OF THE COLLECTOR, !
TACOMA, WASH.
Tacoma, December, 12, 1921
TO THE EDITOR NOME NUGGET:
The following statement Is leaned
by Collector of Internal Revenue
Burns Poe. for the District of Wash*
“Enactment of new revenue legis
lation has brought to the offices of
Collectors of Internal Revenue a
flood of Inquiries regarding various
provisions. The Revenue Act of
1921 became effective November 23,
1921, “unless otherwise provided
“To avoid error in the preparation
of their returns and later difficulties
with the Bureau of Internal Revenue,
taxpayers are advised to carefully
note the changes and when they be
come effective.
“The excess profits tax is repealed
as of January 1, 1922. The rates
for 1921 are unchanged.
“The surtax rates for the calen
dar year 1921 are unchanged, and
range from 1 per cent on the amount
of net Income between $5,000 and
$6,000 to 65 per cent on the amount
of net income In excess of $1,000,000
For the calendar year 1922 the sur
tax rates range from 1 per cent on
the amount of net income between
96,000 and $10,600 to 50 per cent
on the amount by which the net
Income exceeds $200,000.
■•The exemption auowea ior a im
pendent is Increased from $200 to
$400. Married persons living with
husband or wife and heads of fam
ilies are allowed a personal exemp
tion of $2,500 (instead of $2,000)
unless the net income is in excess of
$5,000, in which case the persona!
exemption is only $2,000. The act
provides that in no case shall the
reduction of the personal exemption
from $2,500 to $2,000 operate to
increase the tax which would he
payable if the exemption were $2,500
by more than the amount of the net
income in excess of $5,000. This
is to overcome the disparity in the
case of two taxpayers, one of whom
is Just within the lower $2,000 ex
emption and the other Just within
the higher $2,500 exemption.
“Single persons, and married per
sons not living with husband or wife,
are allowed an exemption of $1,000.
Non-resident aliens are allowed a
single personal exemption of $1,000.
Persons having gross incomes for
1921 of $6,000 or over are required
to make a return, regardless of the
amount of net Income.

price in excess of specified amounts
to 5 per cent of sales price in ex
cess of specified amounts.
‘The tax on parcel post packages
is eliminated effective January 1,
“The new act provides that no tax
payer shall be subjected to unnec
cesaary examinations or investiga
tions, and only one inspection of his
books or accounts shall be made for
each taxable year unless the taxpay
er requests otherwise, or the Com
missioner notifies the taxpayer in
writing that an additional inspection
is necessary.

Governor Scott C. Bone of Alaska
says: ‘'This government railroad

The Pacific Steamship and Alaska
Steamship Companies are making
extensive alterations and improve
