LACK OF FUNDS '' l PREVENT FURTHER
 PENSION ALLOWANCE

JUNEAU. Alaska. Feb. lowing to the lack of funds. due to an insuff- icient appropriation by the Legisla- ture, no further allowances can be granted under the Old Age Pension Act. according to an authorized statement ; made today by Lockie MacKnnon Treasurer of the Board of Trustees of the Pioneers Home; which administers the Act. as fol-
 There are now l91 pensioners on the roll. of which 166 are men. and 25 are women. The last Legislature incerased the allowance to men from $12.50 to S25.OO per month and to women from $25.0O to s45.0O per month. but did not increase the ap- propriation to meet such increase. The effect of this failure to provide funds is that over one-third of the appropriation of S6O.000. or to be exact, S21. .755.25. has been disburs- 'u VI lhE nium. leaving an uneXpended bal ance of only $3s.244.75. Even with no more allowances and continuing the roll as it exists today a deficit of S13,24O would ensue.
 MisconceptiOn of Act
 "A misconception of the intent of the act was to make all pensioners eligible for the increase precipitated an immediate demand upon the Board for such increase and new ap- plications came from all quarters. The act, as a matter of fact. specifi- cally limits it's generous provisions to persons in actual need and the Board, in passing upon applications, has of necessity kept in mind that limitation. To have granted all ap- plications received would have ex- hausted the appropriation by this time. Legislators who enacted the law. but did not foresee it's opera tion and provide adequate funds. have been, in most cases. most insist ent upon increases and the granting of new pensions. evidently in the be-

[lief that they had made ample ap- propriation.
 Cases Are Examined
 ''The Board has examined into every case presented with care and had the cooperation and assistance of Commissioners and pioneers. and the consistent aim has been to pro vide relief, when actually needed. so far as possible with the money avail able. It has been compelled through no fault of it's own. to hold some new applications in abeyance and to pass unfavorably upon other requests for maximum allowances but dealt with all cases considerably and done it's best in the situation.
 "The Board which. in majority part. is composed of pioneers. look ing ahead now finds that it will be necessary to curtail the allowances for the remainder of the biennium in order to keep within the appro- pTlHIlO A pVeH avoided until the winter is over. but without such reduction at the end of this quarter. no money will be avail able for the next winter season and beneficiaries of the act would receive nothing. It is believed to be the wiser and more humane policy to re- duce the allowances for the remain der of the biennium rather than to leave needy ones without any relief for several months.
 Must Double Appropriation
 'It will be incumbent upon the next Legislature to at least double the appropriation or so amend the law as to bring it's operation within the fund set apart. Where relief cannot for the remainder of the bi- ennium be given to persons eligible to assistance under the act. the des- titution fund will be drawn upon. al- though it is now depleted and will not go very far. The Pioneers Home is now crowded to capacity. with an average of S2 inmates. who are receiving the best of care"

Tacoma. Wash. Hundreds of
 thousands of women annually file in come tax returns and pay income tax No official estimate of the num-
 Der of such returns for the year 1923
 can be given, said Burns Poe. Col
 lector of Internal Revenue for the
 District of Washington. but statis- tics of incomes for the year 1921- the latest compilation of such fig
 ures-show that for that year the number was approximately 800,000. The tax assessed on the incomes re-
 ported by women was more than .$1l1.OOO.0 900. Of the total number of returns filed by women, S9.000
 were by wives who made separate re- turns from husbands. The amount of tax collected from this source was approximately $43.500.000.
 More than 100000 women filed
 returns as heads of families by reas- on of the support in one household
 of one or more relatives. The ex- emptions allowed the head of fam fly are $2.500 where the net income
 was $5.000 or less. and $2.000 where the net income exceeded 5000. Tax collections from these women am- ounted to approximately $10.000.- 900. In addition there were filed approximately 6O0,0O0 returns by single women. in which term is i'm cluded widows, divorcees and women living apart from their husbands. The amount of tax from this source was more than $5S,0OO.0OO.
 A woman who was widowed during the year 1928. unless the head of a family. or remarried on or before December 31. 1928. may claim only
 an exemption of $1,0O0, said MT.
 Poe. A wife supporting an invalid | husband in sanitarium is entitled to an exemtpion of $2.5OO, or 5000
 according to whether her income is $5,00O or less or in excess of $5,-
 900. The separation is one of ne-
 cessity, and she is not considered for
 income tax purposes to be living apart" from her husband. If. how
 ever, there is continuous voluntary separation between husband and
 wife, each must take the status of a single person in respect to income tax. File your income tax return | early" is slogan that applies es- l, pecially to women. who thus will
 avoid the congestion occurring in collectors offices during the closing days of the tax filing period. which ends at midnight of March Is. 1924.
