LEGISLATION WHICH FAILED
 OF PASSAGE

The most notable of the bills which I sought to have passed but which failed Of enactment in the 77th Congress follow:
 Alaska Game Law F. R. 7472
 The principal purpose of this bill was to give men in military service in Alaska after serving in Alaska for one year the same privileges with respect to hunting and fishing laws as are extended to the resid- ents of Alaska
 Workmen's Compensation Law
 The purpose of H. R. 6132 (lat- CT substituted by H. R. 6014 is to extend the workmen, compensation laws of Alaska to Federal reserya- tions and to other Federal property located within the boundaries of Alaska. The bill passed the House but was never taken up by the Sen ate
 Highway to Alaska H. R. 7284
 Tta bill is designed 10 authorize and direct the President to con struct a highway to Alaska on what is konWn as the ,A2 route eXtend ing between Prince George and Whitehorse and at the latter place connecting with the present A1can highway. This is the route recom- mended unanimously by the Alaska International Highway Commission and by the Chairman of a similar Canadian Highway Commission. Its construction would integrate the weest coast and military defenses with those of Alaska, and econom- ically il would serve a much more useful purpose than the present AL

used. depending upon the amount and source of income to be reported. FORM I040. This form is intended for general use of individuals who are citizens Of the United States, or residents in this country, whether citizens or not. It contains spaces
 to show the amount of income from various sources, deductions al-
 lowable exemptions and credits,
 and computation of tax liability. As most of the items require some explanation in order to be allow able, the form also contains appro-
 priate schedules to show in more
 detail how the income or the de- auctions are determined.
 FORM 1O40A. This is a simp1- fled report, which may, at the option of the taxpayer who makes his return on the cash basis. be filed instead of form 104O by citizens and residents whose gross income was $3,000 or less during 1942, provided all this income con sists wholly of one or more of the. following: salary, wages, dividends, interest, or annuities. In using this form it is necessary only to. enter the amount of gross ineomeI as shown, deduct the credit allow able for dependents. and insert tbeI appropriate amount of tax in ae-I cordanee with ones personal ex-' emption status, as shown on the table on the reverse of the form This form has no entries for de- ductions allowable. since the taxes indicated in the table on the back of the form are computed after talk ing into account what have been considered average deductions for persons Of this income class.
 A taxpayer should, therefore, con- sider carefully which form would be appropriate for his purposes. Whichever form is employed, all the information called for in the spaces should be inserted so far as appli- cable to the taxpayer in order to avoid the expense to the Govern ment, and the possible inconven- fence to the taxpayer, of subsequent check and inquiry.
 With each return form is a set of accompanying instructions, and these instructions should be care fully read by the taxpayer before making his return.
 Returns for the calendar year 1942 must be filed not later than March 15, 1943. They may be filed by mailing to the Collector of In ternal Revenue of the appropriate district in which is located the leg al residence or principal place of busineess of the taxpayer. If the return is filed by mailing, itI should be posted in ample time to reach the Collectors office on or before March b, 1943. Returns received later than the due date are subject to a penalty variable ac-i cording to the lateness in filing.

 Many bills enacted during the 71th Congress vitally affected AL aska. but they are general in scope and cover the entire nation. Two years ago l was able To give a resume of the appropriations that had been specifically made for AL aska during the 76th Congress. It is not proper to list any such ap- propriations now on account of war conditions. In fact. so lar as appfO- priation bills are concerned. Con gress no longer specifics in Army and Navy supply bills the places where the appropriations made are expended We all know that sub stantial sums Of money have been spent by the military forces in Alas ka uring the past two years. We all know that the highway to AL aska has been built, but nowhere in the appropriation bills passed by Congress can be found any sum ex- pressly ear-marked for it's eonstrnc- ton. Accordingly, the cost of build ing the highway is not generally known.
