-NEW PROSPERITY IIOIM) TO
rOMK TO AM. .ALASKA
With the completion of the Alaska
railroad, pre-war basis of mine oper
ations in respect to low cost of sup
plies. etc., and a pood year in the
fishing industry. Alaska is coming
hack this year and will gradually pet
back into the pre-war strides, accord
ing to A. H. McDonald, owner of
drug stores at Seward and Anchor
age and also transportation man
known from Southern California to
the Arctic Circle, who was in Jun
eau recently, being a passenger South
for a three months’ visit on the Pa
Alaska Juneau Empire.
"Business has been good this win
ter at Seward. Anchorage and to the
Westward.” said Mr. McDonald.
‘ The completioiv of the Government
Railroad means greater mining ac
tivity in the interior and also the
opening of agricultural pursuits. The
placing of the steamer Starr on the
Westward route from Seward means
that that section of Alaska will now
be in closer touch with the world
and business strides from Kodiak to
Dutch Harbor witl be noticed.
"Oil industry will go ahead this,
year and it is very probable that dur
ing the next s*k months gushers Mil!
be struck not, only in the Cold Bay
district, but bther sections to the
Westward. • All Alaska is going to;
benefit from getting down to pre
war basis and hundreds of home
seek-'vs are coming North from the
'"States. This is indicated by various
letters I have received at Seward and
Anchorage, as agent for the Alaska
Steamship Company. Commercial
organizations all over Alaska should
spend money in advertising, showing
advantages of each separate district
and sticking to facts. This advertis
ing matter should be Alaska product,
to encourage and aid the local print
ers. which will aid the local mer
chants. Commercial organizations
should advertise extensively in their
home papers and send copies to the
States. Merchants should also ad
vertise so that those reading the
newspapers in the States know of the
advantages of the various towns in
Alaska. Advertise %pd boost and
stick to Alaska, is my slogan.”

IMPORTANT CHANGES
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 issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue
Burns Poe, for the District of Wash
ington:
“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
$6,000 and $10,000 to 50 per cent
on the amount by which the net
income exceeds $200,000.
"The exemption allowed for a de
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 j
(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 be |
payable if the exemption were (2,500
by more than the amount of the net j
income in excess of (5,000. This j
is to overcome the disparity in the I
case of two taxpayers, one of whom i
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 (5,000 or over are required
to make a return, regardless of the
amount of net Income.
“Provision is made for the repeal
as of Jan. 1. 1922, of the tax on
stockholders of a personal service
corporation as such. After that
date such corporations are to be tax
ed in the same manner as other cor
porations .
"The income tax on corporations
for the calendar year 1922 and
thereafter is increased from 10 to
12H per cent. The (2,000 exemp
tion hereafter allowed corporations
is to be granted only to those cor
porations whose net income Is (25,
000 or less. ^
"Many persons are under the im
pression that the taxes on Ice cream, i
soft drinks,-etc., monthly returns
of which ore required, have bee a
repealed with the enactment of the
new act. These taxes remain in
force until the end of the calendar
year 1921.
“No change is made in the tax on
admissions, except that after Janu
ary 1, 1922 there will be no tax
where admission is 10 cents or less.
Effective January 1, 1922 the follow
ing taxes are also abolished; on
musical instruments, sporting goods,
chewing gum, portable electric fana,
thermos bottles, fur articles, pleas
ure boats and pleasure canoes (uu
less sold for more than $100), toilet
articles, medicines and numerous
articles of apparel.
“On and after January 1. 1922
the tax on various works of art is
reduced from 10 per cent to 5 per
cent, the tax on candy from 5 per
cent to 3 per cent and the tax on
carpets, rugs, trunks, valises, purses,
fans, etc., from 10 per cent of sales
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
cessary 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.
“The period for filing Teturns on
the calendar year basis is from Jan
uary 1 to March 15, 1922. This
year, as last, the tax may be paid in
full at the time of filing the return
or in four equal installments, due
on or before March 15, June 15th,
September 15 and December 15.
“Copies of the revenue act may
be had by application to the office
of Collector of Internal .Revenue,
Tacoma, Washington.”
