the custom grew in a few of the bodies

MINISTER'S UNION
Much has been said about ministers
unions and the need for pastors to
have a place where they could discuss
the problems resulting to their
churches and fields, as well as those of
a more personal nature. Such unions
are a part of the religious life of every
city. Years back there was formed an
Alabama Ministers conference, which
preceded the regular meeting of the
state convention. It has been effective
in bringing the ministers into closer
fellowship as a clearing house of opin-
ion and a forum for open discussions.
But it remained for number Of
leading Baptist women in Alabama to
inaugurate a movement which is fun

TAX IMPOSED ON ALASKANS
 FOR SCHOOLS

At the recent session of the terri torial legislature there was an act passed to impose tax upon male per sons in the territory of Alaska for school purposes and providing means for it's collection, and declaring an emergency.
 Under the provisions of this act every male person over twenty one years of age and under fifty years Of age, except soldiers, sailors, in the United States navy or revenue cutter service, volunteer firemen, paupers, in- sane persons or territorial charges, are subject to an annual tax in the sum of $5.O00 and every person, firm or corporation having in his or It's employ persons subject to such tax, Is required to deduct the amount or such tax from wages or salary due any person and to pay all amounts so deducted to the school tax collector for the school district in which the person, from whom such tax Is so col lected, resides or is employed at the time the tax becomes due and pay able.
 The tax for 1919 became due and payable, as to all persons then within the territory and otherwise subject to the tax, immediately upon the passage and approval of the act which was prior to May 5. As to all persons sub feet to the tax arriving in the terri tory of Alaska after the approval or the act, the tax becomes due and pay able within thirty days after sucn arrival. Subsequent to the year 1919 the tax will become due and payable in accordance with the provisions or

PASSENGERS ON THEIR WAY TO
 THIS PORT

SEATTLE, May 23 (by Associated Press) ).-The steamer Alameda sailed from here at o'clock this morning with twenty-seven first class passen- gers for Cordova, as follows: MT. and Mrs. J. Downing, MT. and Mrs. J. Coate, Mrs. A. Dooley, A. J. Nor dale, Mary Earnhardt, Leora Newman, H. Stauart, Verna Hager, Mrs. Rose Cobuy, Mrs George Steele, M. Emsic, A. Luther, MT. and Mrs. w Foster, William Foster, MT. and Mrs. Andrew Watson, A. Koch, F. Startzell, Everett Peterson, Dr. F Gillespie, Charles Sally, J McCrea, Mildred Raber, and Mrs. J. Goodre.
 Those boked for Valdez were Mrs. Mac c. Reed, Alice Reed, B. A. Dens- more, L. l.. Bassett, Mrs. M. A. Date, E. L. Rinboul, and E. M. Lockhart.

Section of the act.
 While the act imposes upon the school tax collector referred to therein certain duties with reference to pub fishing notices, demanding list of em- ployes subject to tax, etc., the duty of every employer in the territory to collect the tax from his or it's em- ployes is imposed by the act itself and is not dependent upon the publication or, service of notice or demand by the school tax collector.
 Section of the act provides that it shall be the duty of the school tax collector to demand list of the em- ployes of every person, firm or cor poration employing labor in the terri tory and that the school tax collector shall furnish suitable blank forms for making such lists, etc., also that such employers are required to deliver the school tax receipts to every employe from whom such tax is collected. An employer should not delay collection of this tax pending the organization of the machinery for collection con templated by the act, however, at the time tax deduction are paid over to the various school tax collectors 8 re- recipt should be secured for each em ploye from whom such tax is collect ed. During the season of 1920 and thereafter 1t will probably be prac- ticable to furnish various tax collect ors interested with list of employees and to arrange to have the tax re- ceipts delivered to the company by the tax collectors before the pay rolls are completed 30 that the tax receipt may be delivered with the pay check and settlement made thereafter with the tax collectors.
 In view of the fact that the act makes every employer liable for the amount of the tax of each employe in all cases where such tax Is not paid by the employe directly to the tax col lector, it will be necessary to arrange for deductions from the May pay roll in order to avoid penalties provided for in the act.
