INCOME TAX IS
 PAYABLE FOR 1913

Notwithstanding that the income tax is a part of the tariff law and that this law did not become effective until early in the present month, the tax on incomes will be levied for ten months of the present year according to a statement given out by Willard T. Harrison, of Tacoma, collector of in ternal revenue for Washington and Al aska. The tax on that part of the annual income for 1913 will be due for the months intervening between March 1st and December 31st.
 In computing the tax, however, the income for the full year 1913 will be taken into account and the taxpayer will be required to pay on ten-twelfths of the total. The money must be paid during the month of June to the col lector of internal revenue. If not then paid a penalty of five per cent. will be added and interest charged at the rate of one per cent. month. This penalty and interest will be ad- ded if not paid within ten days after demand shall have been made.
 Every single person is allowed an exemption of $3,000, and every married person of $4,000. All persons, how ever, having a net income exceeding S3O00. must file return of the same with the collector before March l of the succeeding year. Returns for 1913 will be filed on or before March 1, 1914. On the entire net income a nor nal tax of 1 per cent. will be levied, while a graduated increase of the levy will be made on larger incomes in proportion to their size.
 To protect the government, penal ties have been specified for the mak- ing of fraudulent returns, in which one years Imprisonment and $2,000 fine may be assessed. Failure to make return may mean a fine ranging from $20 to 5000 in addition to the interest and additional per cent.
 Corporations which must pay their income tax as well as individuals are allowed under the act deductions for payment of interest, bad accounts, and other natural causes, but the eXemp- ton of $5,000 formerly allowed has been abolished. Labor organizations, mutual savings banks, fraternal bene- ficiary societies, domestic building and loan societies, business leagues, cham bers of commerce, and similar Organi- cations not intended for profit have be@ exempted from the tax.

eLFAMIJN49,s1 EMPIRE

It is believed by -VOlney Richard, manager of the Northern Commercial company, and others that there will be more overland traffic this winter from the coast to the interior over the Fairbanks and the Chisana trails than ever before has been transported across Alaska by horses and dogs.
 
 One hundred gold claims have been staked in the Wolf creek placer gold district that was struck near White horse a short time ago. While good prospects have been found every where, bedrock has not been reached thus far.
 The river in front of Fairbanks closed this year October 18th. The freeze-up was unexpectedly early, but the last steamer at that place to be put in winter quarters was safely slowed away two days before the ice closed the river.

WORK MULTIPLIES
 CHANGES FOR SUCCESS

The sun is rising on the White. The dawn of a tomorrow is apparent. That vast portion of the Territory which long has known but solitude is awak- ening. Hundreds of prospectors are in the region, and before the first of the year other hundreds will be there. The Chisana has drawn a great many in that direction, and now comes word that stampedes have staked miles of streams on the Cana dian side. Other creeks also tribu- tary to the White are being located. The report received yesterday of the location of rich pay tributary to the Snag stimulated interest here. If the reports are fully confirmed, certainly the Yukon will see great fuss Tn that district Without doubt the re- zion is gold-bearing. The proposition now is to determine to what extent.
 It is singular that the upper White never before was prospected except at random by a stray prOspector Now the country is staked enough to be m imminent danger of being turned top sy turvey before spring.

WRONG VIEW OF
 CONSERVA ALTON

An item from a Kentucky rurah pa per. now receiving editorial reprint approval in Eastern dailies. relates the finding of walnut rails in an old farm fence which was undergoing repair, and laments the imprOvidence of the early pioneers. concluding with the statement that many farms in Ken lucky today are worth only a tenth or twentieth of what they would be If their walnut oak and other groves were still standing.
 Of course. this is not true, for the reason that the price of hardwoOds of the varieties named depends upon the visible supply. and if the visible sup ply were larger the price would be lower. Even if true, however, there is no occasion to lament or point a moral
 Timber is a crop. but it is slow growing crop. which produces har- vest once. or, at most, but twice in a century Once removed, it must grow again. Since that timber was cut those Kentucky farms have pro- duced an annual harvest. and there is little reason to doubt that the value of hundred harvests of corn, tobacco and other valuable soil products far exceeds that of any one timber crop which could be taken from identical areas.
 The conservationist who belieYyes agricultural lands of their forest growth and substituting cultivated crops and annual harvests for the un- certainties of a state of nature takes an incorrect view of this great ques- ton.
 The country is best conserving it's resources when it makes the highest possible use of them. It squanders them when it fails to use them-just as surely as it squanders through wasteful use. One is as bad as the Other.-Seattle POst-Intelligencer.
