Business As 1t

F. A. Franklin, who represents the
Peters Paper Company and comes
here once every five weeks. was
asked this morning upon his arrival
in the city to state his opinion as to
business and its outlook in Colorado.
Business is slowly improving in all
sections of the state not affected by
the coal miners strike" he said.
In the sections affected 1t is no.
ticeable that mills and mines have
to shut down on account of the lack
of coal and the failing business is
due more to lack Of coal itself than
to the number of men who have
walked out. On the western slope

pie optimistic and promises Of
good winter" concluded the genial,
always welcome, paper salesman.

wool duties shall go into effect. Com
promises were made by the conference
committee between senate and house
rates, by which wool tops Will bear a
duty of 10 per cent and yarns a duty

by having restored the paragraph In
the house bill covering chamois skins

 Interest paid out on indebt- edness.
 National, losses or storm or fire losses. not covered by in- surances.
 Worthless debts charged off during the year.

 It is clear provision of the law, however, that the taxable person must make a return to the internal revenue collector

 The amount of the income tax as finally agreed upon follows: From $3,OOO to $2O,- 900, 1 per cent; from S2O,OOO to $50,000, 3 per cent; s5O,- 900 to S75,0OO, 3 per cent; $75,000 to $1OO,OOO 4 per cent; S1OO,OOO to S25O,OOO 5 per cent; S25O, to s5OO,0OO 6 per cent; above $50O,000, ' per cent.

HOW MANY OF US
 WILL PAY

The income tax which be- comes effective the first of November will touch very few Alaskans. The tax covers all incomes of citizens of the United States whether living here or abroad.
 The net income includes all incomes from salaries or any compensation for personal services, incomes from trades, professions, business or com merce, from sales or dealings in personal property or real estate; from interest, rent, dividends from securities, for all business carried on for gain.
 Requests will not be con- sldered income, nor will life insurance paid to a benefici- ary or returned to the insured person as q 'paid up" or "sur- rendered policy" be taxable. Interest on such property will be included as income, how ever.
 The general public is -ex- pected to give close tsudy to the new lay in the next few months, as the first burden of the tax payment rests with the individual citizen, and his failure to report his income is punishable by a fine.
 In figuring up his net in- come for the taxpayer, the American business man, after deducting $3,OOO for himself, or $4,000 if married, will

II is a whole lot cheaper than the

give that company more work, for we
want the city to get the advantage of

The work on Randolph street will
entail the expenditure of about $25, 600.
The Thirty second street work, which
is small. will not entail more than

The administrative board yesterday
decided to grade the extension of Cary
street. and will ask the city council

provements.
The appeal made by members of the
Retail Merchants association has had
no effect. The fact that the Randolph
street paving contract has been signed,
and that fund may not be diverted to
Broad street and the further fact that
majority Of council has already ex-
pressed itself against diverting the
First market fund to streets, places
the Broad street situation just like 1t
was before.
"Brosd street All Right"
Broad street is already pretty well
paved, said Councilman Huber. 1--WE
can look after that thoroughfare later.
Let's take care of the byways and the
lanes which we now have on our hands
with all this. what are we going to
do If we take in more territory? II we
cannot care for the streets that we
have now, and the rents are higher
than they ever were before what are
we going TO do II we cannot fix up our
streets. and then take in more terri
tory?
Records will show that rents went
up both times we had annexation. If
we have annexation again, before we
take care of what we have what will
become Of the renter?'
