WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Congress

Forms for
Filing of
Income Tax
article No. %

Forms for filing returns of in
come tax for 1886 have been sent to
persons who filed returns last year
Failure to receive a form, however,
does not relieve a taxpayer of his
obligation to file his return and
pay the tax on time, on or before
March Is Of the return is made on
the calendar year basis, as is the
case with NEST individuals.
Forms may be obtained upon re-
quest, written or personal, from the
offices of collectors of internal rev.
snue and deputy collectors. Persons
whose net income for 1886 was de-
rived chiefly from salary or wages
and was not in excess of $1,000
should make their returns on form
l040A. Persons whose net income
was in excess of $5,00o or, regardless
of amount, was derived from a bust
ness, profession, rents or sale of
property, are required to use larg-
er form, l040. Failure to use the
proper form presents difficulties to
both the taxpayer and the Bureau
of Internal Revenue. Therefore, it
is emphasized that a taxpayer en-
gagged in a business or profession
from which he derived net in
come OF less than $1,000 is required
to use the larger form
The return must be filed with the
collector Of internal revenue for the
district in which the taxpayer has
his legal residence or principal place
OF business on or before midnight

be paid in full at the time Of filing

AVIATION BILL
INTRODUCED IN
ALASKA SENATE
Inspector Brewster Appears
Before Upper House to
Outline Requirements

Based on recommendations made
by the Bureau of Air Commerce
through Alaska Aaeronautics IN
spector Hugh Brewster, a bill was
introduced in the Territorial SEN
ate today by Senator M. E. S. Brun-
ellie Of the Third Division which
would set up regulations for air
transportation within the Territory.
Inspector Brewster appeared be-
fore the Senate this afternoon and
explained the Bureaus position and
the lack of regulations now on the
Territorial statute books. He point
ed out that Alaska has virtually
no control over aviation and the
jurisdiction of the Bureau of Air
Commerce does not cover the sub
iect. The Inspector told the Sena-
tors that there is nothing to keep
a pilot from bringing any kind of
a ship to the Territory, registering
his number with the Secretary of
The Territory, and then going out
any carrying all the passengers and
freight he wishes He can not be
forced to come within the Federal
regulations, Mr.. Brewster said.
Purpose of the Brunette act is to
set up Territorial regulation in line
with the Federal regulations and
IS of the 48 states have now done
so.
A measure asking repeal Of the
present law dealing with water
rights on mining claims and setting
up new regulations was introduced
today by Senator John B. Powers
of the Fourth. Under the present
law, it is commended that develop
ment of potential claims is held up
by those who hold water rights but
do not use them.
The Roden nepotism bill, which
would prohibit the employment of
relatives by public officials, is sched-
uled to come up for action in the
Senate tomorrow. The proposal
for fur farm experimental station
is scheduled for the Saturday cal
endar.

as many are being dropped by their
comrades at March field, near Los

such action and added, II believe

Sents a cross section of the COM
munity."
Doesn't Represent Community
Il can't oppose the bill because
the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
did, declared Dan Green of the
Fourth, land I can't agree with my
colleague that the Chamber repre-
sents the sentiment of the COM
munity or any other because I
don't believe that it does" Mr.
Green said it was his belief that
the Jones law as at present is dis
criminatory against Alaskans and
therefore he thought it should be
changed and the exclusion clause
taken out.
j. P. Anderson Of the First, and
himself d member of the Juneau
Chamber, cited early history of the
Jones law and declared it was the
efforts of Seattle and the Alaska
Steamship Company which put the
Alaska exclusion clause in the bill.
Senator Jones was from Seattle
and he wanted to get all the bust
ness for Seattle that he could"
Mr.. Anderson said. He went on to
say that the Alaska Steam was
trying to get and maintain mon
opoly and that was why it always
opposed any amendment to take
out the exclusion clause.
Point To High Rates
George Laiblin and John Lich-
tenberg of the Second called atten-
ton to the high rates and the mon
opoly the Alaska Steam holds in
that area and that the citizens
there could do nothing about it, but
must pay the rates, as the Alaska
Steam well knew, or go without
