VIII Not Extend
Time Of Payment

Collector of Internal Revenue E.
B. Craig, Nashville, Tenn, states
that his office has just completed
mailing to taxpayers statements Civ
ing the amount of their income tax
due Dec. Is. His office has received
a, number of requests from taxpay-
ers who desire that they be granted
extensions of time for the payment
of the last installment of their taxes
due Dec. Is. The department at
Washington has ruled that there Is
no provision in the income tax law
giving either the collector of the de-
partment authority to extend the
time of payment of income taxes, and
he has, accordingly, been compelled
to decline to grant such extensions.
For failure to pay tax by Dec. Is
the law provides a penalty of per
cent, with interest at the rate of l
per cent per month. together with
fee for service of distraint warrant
if necessary to secure payment.
Failure to receive a tax bill does
not relieve a taxpayer from penalty
for delinquent payment.

Four black squirrels from Battle
Creek, Mich, have been received by
f. H. Crump, county trustee, from
friends at the sanitarium at Battle
Creek where Mr.. Crump spent some
time during the early fall.
The animals probably will be given
to the Memphis zoo. Mr.. Crump says
that these black squirrels play about
the grounds of the Battle Creek in
stitution as do the gray squirrels in
Court square. The animals are
about the same size as the gray
squirrels, but their fur is solid black.

GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE CLOSE

If the United States had AS great men for Gov ernors of separate States the question as to who will be the next President would not be half as i'm portant it is
 And if there were 1000 great distributed among the Legislatures of the AS States we would not be so crested in ithe doings of Congress, as most of the domestic troubles of the country would then take care of themselves.
 Too many people are looking to Congress to pro vide prosperity for all the people and to regulate away the small vexations of everybody. or course that be done by Legislation in any event. ana most of those matters that may be improved through legislation could be better handled by the local Leg islaures than by Congress. We cannot have self government without government is kept close to the people and Washington is a long way off.

 The Empire would like the measure better if It provided in specific terms that the Territory could take over the whole management and control of the fisheries industry the Territorial Legsla ture should enact the necessary legislation for that purpose However, the bill if passed would be vast improvement over present conditions, and it would be a long step toward solving the question of per Detuating fisheries industry. If something is not lone quickly toward that end, there is danger that we shall lose the industry and large part of our population.

During the last year the rainfall has been very light; the sunshine has been enjoyed for weeks at
 time without bit of rain While Othere have suffered with cold and snow and even rain, Ketchi- kan has enjoyed most delightful Fall and Winter md the Spring has started in beautifully, for it is actually Spring here now, ahead of other Pacific Coast cities
 So, let organized campaign start. In every letter you write the folks at home in every munication with friends, tell them of the beautiful slimate. Tell only the truth for it will prevail and let not persons be afraid to come to Kechikan to make their homes
 The Spring of the year is at hand and with it the beginning of the greatest in the history of Southeastern Alaska. With fine weather, the lily der district looming up, the government going to place bounty on gold, the fisheries industry more active than ever, disturbances of any kind in sight; the public health generally good, truly. the world looks bright and the people of Ketchikan have reason to be optimistic this bright, sunshiny day!
