TRAPPING WAS PIONEER
Oldest Alaska Industry Still Profit abIe-indians Control South
 eastern Field.

Trapping, Alaska's oldest industry offers more opportunities to Alaska men than some fields of fishing and mining, according to fur buyers.
 Native Indians appear to have the southeastern Alaska trapping field all to themselves.
 Most of Alaska's furs, after being bought by jobbers in the north. are sent to New York, which took the lead dn the world fur market from London in 1917. Many furs are also sent to the St. Louis auctions now being held.
 Furs and hides of most of the Southeastern Alaska fur-bearing anf mals have gone up in price during the past several years. Mink skins, which three years ago sold for S1.5O are in demand now at $10; wolver- Ines have. jumped from s5 to 20 Lynx skins three years ago brought about 5. Today they can be sold for $60.
 Skins of the black bear have dropped in price recently as the Brit ish government has stopped using the bear skins for the English caval- ". Years ago all the black bear skins in the north could be sold to the British government.

ITALY WANTS TO
 SELL BONDS IN UNITED STATES

The United States Treasury Depart ment has just authorized the Notation in this country of an issue of $25,- 100000 Italian bonds, known as Series A, and which is the first instadment of a complete issue of S100,OOo,0O0 worth The issue is underwritten by a group of leading Italian banks, comprising the Banca Commerciale, Credito Italiano, Banco di Napoli, and Banca Italiana di Sconto. The bonds are dated February 1, 1920, and ma ture in five years They are issued at par and bear interest at the rate of six and one half per cent, and carry the conversion privilege at maturity by which they may be paid either in dollars or in lire at the rate of seven to the dollar. subject to the option of the bond holder. (The rate of exchange at present is 1S.6 lire to the dol1ar-)
 The bonds are in denomination of $50, $100, $500 and $1,0O0, and will be sold here through the five thou sand or more Italian banks in the United States The Italian Discount and Trust Company in New York city will sell the bonds over the counter The aim is to reach the five or six
 million Italians in the United States, who heretofore have been sending to Italy for deposit in Italian banks be- tween eighty and one hundred million dollars 8 year. Instead of this trans fer of funds, the Italian Government aims to establish in this country credits effected by the subscription to these bonds and to make purchases of American merchandise against these credits
 Experience has shown that the Italian immigrant prefers to send his money to Italy for deposit in the sav- anss bank there rather than to invest in Liberty Bonds or other securities in this country. It is thought, there fore, that the interests of the United Staes Treasury Deparment will not be affected by the sale of these dollar bonds in the United States

SINGLE MEN
 AND WOMEN GET EXCEPTIONS

Unmarried men and women who are bread winners for others ara granted special exemptions on their earnings before figuring the income tax now being collected. Although a return must be filed by every un-
 married person, and by every mar ried person living apart from hus- band or wife who had net income of 1000, or more, during 1919, rec ognitfon is made in the law of the home burdens carried by millions of such persons and relief from excess i've taxation is especially provided.
 In addition to the ordinary per sona1 exemption Of $1,0oO and addi- tional exemption of s1,o00 is granted to "heads of families" and there is also provided an exemption of S200 for each dependent under 1 8 years of age or who is mentally or physically defective.
 The s20O for each dependent may be claimed by any taxpayer who is the chief support of such dependent. This is not confined to dependents who are members of the family or relatives. On the other hand it does not include servants or others who are earning their living. And it does not apply to the wife or husband of the married taxpayers, even tho such person may have become a total bur
 It should be rem embered that the person who claims exemption as ''head of a family must qualify for it. Two single persons who divide between them more or less equally, the fnan- cial and other responsibilities of a household cannot claim that either one is the head of family But if single person actually assumes the to- tai responsibilities of the household and is aided by having one of his brothers or sisters support himself and contributing an amount that could not practically be considered more than his board, such trivial circumstance must not be allowed to interfere with his clear claim for exemption.
 A single person is the head of a family if .by Dec. 31 he had become the sole support of close relatives Cby blood, marriage or adoption) living in the same house with him and looked upon by them to exercise a greater or less amount of control in the matters

affecting the support and maintenance of the household.
 The phrase 'tsole support is here used in the sense that there is no other person to whom the dependents are looking for a substantial portion of their support. There may be an- other source of income (such as inter est on bonds, dividends on stocks, pension) which, if meagre enough to still leave the recipient dependent. should not interfere with the claim for exemption. Such meagre income of dependents, as well as inconsequential profit on the board of any self-sup- porting member of the household, must, however, be included in the re- turn of the head of the household.
 But division of responsibility vii. in every case exclude the parties from the claim for the additional exemp- rfon. Article BOP of Regulations Az defines that a head of a family is ia person who actually supports and maintains in one household or more individuals who are closely connect ed with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage, or by adoption, and whose right to exercise family control and provide for these dependent individuals Is based upon some moral or legal obligation!
 Once the existence of the fact that a taxpayer is the principal cause for the creation or maintenance of g home is established 1t cannot be de- stroyed by his mere temporary or ull- avoidable absence from it. If a fath- CT is left with a young child to whom he can not give the proper at tention himself, and he places this child with relatives or elsewhere, he should still be considered the head of family even if yet further force of circumstances would oblige him to live elsewhere; provided that he still exercised fatherly control over the wel1-being, education and flial feel ings of the child, and did not (while furnishing the support) allow the child to become a virtual orphan. If. however, without necessity the de- pendent continuously makes his home elsewhere, his -benefactor is not the head of a family. irrespective of thu question of support

ACTION DELAYED BY ILLNESS OF
 SEN. PENROSE
Republican Followers Dare Not Move Without His
 Consent

Washington, D. C., Jan. 23. - A large amount of reconstruction leg 1slation is being held up for an ap- parently indefinite period because of the illness of Senator Boies Penrose, the admitted "boss" of the Republi- can party in Congress. When the Sen , ate Finance Committee, of which Senator Penrose is chairman will De permitted to again function without his direction is a problem.
 sy Senator Penrose is now i'll at his Philadelphia home and is likely to go to Florida to recuperate. Until he delegates his power to either Porter J. McCumber of North Dakota, the second ranking Republican member C. the committee, or Reed Shoot of Utah. next in line, business of even more than national importance must wait.
 This situation is causing some ex- hibitions of marked impatience among Senators of both the Demo- cratic and Republican parties. The latter are more quiescent as, one ana all, they bow before the scepter of the 'tbig boss.'' But they realize the politicial hole into which Senator Penrose has put them and are It. tempting to scramble out. They pri Vately argue that as the much vaunt- ed extra session of the Republican controlled Congress failed to pass hardly any of the constructive 1egfs- lation recommended by President Wilson, or even by their own party leaders. it Is hardly good politics to withhold from the nation these finan- cial bills that were squeezed through the House of Representatives.
 The Senate Finance Committee r,t1y months of the extra session from May IS to November 15, and consequent fly many House bills accumulated in Senator Penrose's pigeonholes. Dur ing most of that period the G. O. P. boss was In Philadelphia fighting for his political existence in a fac tional mayoralty fight and later in eIectfng his party candidate. He re- turned to Washington in the last stages of the fight over the Treaty of Peace and assisted in temporarily killing it, together with the League of Nations He has not been present one day of the present regular ses- sions that began December 1.
 Since that date but one financial measure has been reported out by the Senate Finance Committee. That was the Sweet Bill, providing increased for military disabilities in connection with the War Risk In surance, and on that occasion Sena- tor Shoot acted as chairman, Senator McCumber being engaged in tour of the Southwest.
 The Finance Committee is now the dumping ground for bills passed by the House of Representatives and many of them are important. In the pigeonholes are all the isolated tariff measures over which the House spent much time and oratory, only to have Boss Penrose openly sheer at them as "popgun" in character and piece meal legislation in effect, and to publicly state that they could not and would not be passed in their present incomplete form.
 : Some action to permit the Senate Finance Committee to function is ex- pected to be taken by the Republican caucus soon unless word comes that Senator Penrose's return may be ex- Iected quickly.
