ming Of the period for filing income
tax returns for the year 1928. The
period ends at midnight of March Is,
1924. Heavy penalties are provided
by the revenue act for failure or will
full refusal to make a return and pay
the tax on time.
Form 1040A, heretofore used for

has been revised in the interests of
the largest class of taXpayers-wage
earners and salaried persons. Re
duced from six pages to single

reporting net income of $4,000 and
less derived chiefly from salaries and
wages. Persons any part of whose
income is derived from business or
profession, farming, sale of property
or rent, though the amount is $4,000
or less, will be required to use the
larger form, 1910. The use of Form
1910 is required also in all cases
where the net income was in excess
of 5000, regardless of whether from
salary. business. profession. or other
taxable sources.

this time which form is desired,
copies of both forms will be sent tax
payers who filed individual returns
for the year 1922. and may be OBJ

Seward daily gateway., 1924-10-30

The Seward Chamber of Commerce at it's meeting this week inscribed a vote of thanks to MT. Noel w. Smith, general manager of the Alaska Rail- road, for services rendered, and also assured MT. Smith that it stood be- hind him in every way possible, with no desire to interfere with the man. agement of the road. This is as it should be. While MT. Smith undoubt- edly knows that Seward is behind him in his efforts to bring the road up paying basis, it is a good thing to tell him so. The local Chamber has not had the pleasure of entertaining Mr. Smith, nor has he attended any of it's functions, therefore he does not know what he has missed. The resi- dents of Seward are pleasant bunch to associate with, and there is no doubt they would give the railroad head the best time he has had since his arrival in Alaska. The chamber has not pes- tered him with useless requests and has asked for nothing whatever in the shape of patronage Our main regret IS that the gentleman is leaving the Territory without a personal assurance of our esteem and the hope that he will return.

sum, even by schooner, and Knlk can- not be reached by water. Are we to gather from this that the Anchor age Igloo favors going back to small schooners with two-man crews to haul in it's freight? Does it favor haul ing freight from Palmer to Anchor age by dog team? Does it favor laying in it's stocks of merchandi> >e for the long wi.tt iii the fall. on ac
 count of it's port being inaccessible because of ice? we think not.
 One firm in Seward has paid the railroad the past year over $6,OOO freight bills, and has received back from the railroad $40. Can any firm in Anchorage show that it has paid the road this amount and not received it back in trade? Is it possible that Anchorage would have the pulp mill coming to Seward in the near future, buy it's coal from Canada, because of no railroad line between the towns?
 It viii require train of cars a day 10 haul coal to the pulp mill, ton of coal equaling a ton of paper. Who will benefit from this sale of coal ? Anct torage, of course. The pulp mill will pay more freight to the railroad each week for logs hauled, than is collected on the whole north end of the system, and is now paying more than it's proportion of the upkeep of the road. Why antagonize a good
