INCOME TAX MORE LIBERAL.

The man who pays an income tax this
year has several reasons for which 10
be thankful. First that his income for
1919 was sufficient to place il within
the taxable list. second. that the normal
rates are lower than for 1918; and.
third. that the current revenue act is
more liberal in its provisions than pre-
cedng acts.
Prior to 1916 a distinction was made
between only two classes OF taxpayers.

was taxed accordingly. The act of Sep

Still another distinction was drawn by
the revenue act Of 1917. An additional
allowance or 5000 was made for each
child dependent upon its parent. pro-

exemption applied only to the father or

JUDGE BUNNELL IS OPPOSED BY ALAsKANs FOR
 CONFIRMATION Senator Jones Again Blocks Efforts to Hove Fourth Division Judge Confirmed.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec., 31- The nomination of Charles E. Bun- nell as district judge for the Fourth Alaska judicial division was again sent to the senate by President Will son on Saturday. The nomination was immediately sent to the judiciary committee, where Senator Jones has raised the usual demurrer against confirmation.
 When the nomination of Bunnell was sent to the senate at the last regular session, Senator Jones blocked confirmation at the request of Alaskans who are opposed to the confirmation. of Bunnell. During the past week both the republican organ ization in Alaska and Delegate-elect Sutherland have asked Senator Jones to hold up all Alaska appointments, including that of the recent reap pointed postmaster at Ketehikan..

ELECTRIC LIGHT BULBS
 BEING STOLEN

During the past few weeks the city streets in the north end of town have been more or less in darkness during the night hours. The reason for the serni-darkness is due to the absence of electric light globes on the various poles and the reason for this absence is THEFT. The globes have been de hberately stolen. In some cases old ones have been substituted for the one taken. It is costing the Town of Sew ard many unnecessary dollars to.tre- place these stolen globes. Recently the globes have been marked in secret manner 50: that the city officials could trace them and discover who the petty sneak thief or thieves are. The disap- pearance of another light will mean that a serach warrant will be issued for the searching of certain houses where these city lights are believed to be hidden. The party who win stoop low enough pr in this particular case: high enough to steal 2 light bslOng- ing, to thetewn in which he lives should be dealt with to the full extent of the law. Theft. stsall times is .. crime punishable by law and iaethis particular case the guilty party or parties if discovered should be made an example of. A word to the wise is
 sufficient. We feel that the stealing of City Lights will cease with the be- ginning of the New Year.
