 Juvenile Code

A juvenile code, passed by the 1043 session of the Alaskan. Ter ritorial Legislature, modernized Alaskan law in this field. Apply ing to all children under 18 years of age, the purpose of this act is to secure for each child care and guidance as nearly as possi- ble, equivalent to that which should be given by his or her parents.
 l Its primary purpose is not to punish children pho have violat- ed laws. but to safeguard them , from neglect or injury. AL though it does give the justice court jurisdiction of any child who has violated a law; or by reason of being wayward or ha- bitua1ly disobedient is uncontrol- led by his parent, guardian or custodian; or is habitually truant from school or hne; habitually deports himself so as to injure or endanger the morals and heaolth of himself or others; it does not seek to punish such child by Imprisonment. Instead, the child is to be placed in a new environ ment calculated to change him or her into desirable citizen.
 The court is given jurisdiction not only of those children who bp their own acts have failed to carry out their legal obligations to themselves and others, but also of those children who have been abandoned by their parents or guardians or who lack proper parental care due to the faults, habits or neglect of their parents or guardians.
 The court IS also gwen JurlS- diction of those children who are mentally deficient or in need of special care or training, provided their parents or guardians are willing to give their consent in writing.
 All controversies arising over the custody of child are to be taken care of by the court. Although the court may if a child has committed a felony, waive the jurisdiction given it by this act, but it is only to do so after a full investigation has shown the remedies provided by this act would be insufficient.
The Nome nugget., 1943-10-06

The remedies set forth by the act are to commit the child to the Territorial Department of Public Welfare or the Alaska h. dian Service; or to release the child to the care and custody of the parent, guardian, or other suitable person, under the super vision of one Of these agencies.
 In other words, children are not to be imprisoned for the faults of themselves or others where it is at all possible to re- claim them to normal, law-abid- ing citizenship by means of pro-

By AUDREY HENDERSON

Walking down Front Street brought to my mind that all peo- pie are bores, including myself. Very clever people know this to be true, so they have learned the neat trick of hiding out when their clever side isn't on the beam. For each second that Bob Hope or Ja,k Benny Or any other dozen of would be smarties" pour out epigrams, there must be many hours of small talk. We'll, what do people usually talk about? The weather. what to eat, what to wear, the need to change underwear, movies, mislaid rub bers. Only a fool tries to be smart when propositioning a taxidriver, or a waitress, stand ing in line at a railroad ticket office, talking hotel clerk out of a room when the establish ment is packed, paying his bank CTS service charges signing for a special delivery letter, outlin- ing his possessions to the asses sor, or putting in winters SUD- ply of oil A person who is described as clever is limited to about 10 minutes of bright thought week, 10 minutes day is considered a genius.

20 solve Is that of transportation.
During this war the railroads have been doing mar
velous Job So the nations truck operators the barge
lines shipping industry and of course the aviation

But under surface there has long been bitter fight
going between competing methods OF transportation
The trucking and barge operators that the railroads
trying them by backing state regulations to
their operation The railroads claim that the
truck operators bus companies getting away with
rnurder-hat the railroads paying taxes and submit
ting regulations which make difficult for them to COM

necessary but free enterprise in the big trans

Paper Profits
Won't to Get Highest
Possible Price, but
Moy Woit Too Long
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer

CHICAGO, Jan. Is. Farmers,
with about 400,000,000 bushels Of 1912
wheat held in storage awaiting high
er prices, now have paper profits
estimated at several million dollars,
according to grain trade estimates
today.
This profit" is represented in an
appreciation in value ranging from
Is to more than Is cents a bushel
from the time this grain was stored
to the present. Actually, to realize
their profit, farmers would have to
sell their grain on the open market,
which might jeopardize the price
structure.
Those who have stored wheat for
loans, and almost half the harvest
is under seal, the most ever involved
under the ever-normal granary pro-
gram, already have collected much
Of the profit" represented by this
price rise, since they accepted Gov
ernment loans above the market
when they stored their grain.
Can Collect Difference.
Now that prices have risen above
the loan rates, ranging from about
IL cents a bushel in Chicago for
hard wheat to % cents for soft
wheat, the only additional profit
available to them is represented by
the difference between the loan rate
and the price at which they might
be able to sell the grain were they
to pay off the loans. This profit
will be diminished by the fact that
producers must pay storage and in
terest charges on grain they redeem.
These additional charges are esti-
mated at around 10 cents a bushel.
on the average.
Under these circumstances grain
men said today, the wheat market
is in debatable ground, depending
principally on what farmers do.
1t is nothing new, however. In pre-
vious seasons, during which the
loan program has been an important
market factor, farmers usually have
come up with a paper profit at
about this time Of year. Many have

even on a rising market. Others
have elected to turn it over to the
Government or have waited too long.
Last year the bulk Of the loans
were defaulted and the Commodity
Credit Corp, which made the ad-
vances, acquired more than 100000
600 bushels of wheat. The current
loans on 1912 wheat will expire
around the end of April. In pre-
vious years the Government has
granted an extension and this may
be done this season.
Farmers have been redeeming
some of their loan wheat recently,
trade reports indicated The recent
wheat price advance was checked
this week partly by this fact and
also by imposition of ceilings on
corn.

Your Income Tax
No. l4-NormuI Tax and Surtox

The Federal income tax payable
on the taxable income is divided into
two parts, known as normal tax and
surtax. The sum of these two taxes,
in all ordinary cases, represents the
total tax due. The exceptions arise
in cases where there have been spe-
cited capital gains or losses, in
which case an alternative computa-
ton is permitted, provided there are
net long-term capital gains in eX-
cess of net short-term capital losses;
or in cases where the taxpayer holds
bonds with a taX-free covenant
(bondS in which the issuing corpora
ton pays part Of the income tax on
the INTEREST," in which case a deduc-
ton of the amount paid by the cor
poration is allowable against the tax
computed on the return.
Surtax Rates Vary.
The SurtaX is computed at variable
rates, depending upon the amount of
the surtaX net income. The surtax
net income is the amount of the net
income of the taxpayer (gross in
come less deductions) less the per-
sonal exemption and the credit for
dependents. This Is the amount
shown on line % of the income tax
return, Form 1040.
On the first $4,000 of surtax net
income, the surtax is 13 per cent of
the surtaX net income. On surtaX
net income over $4,000 and not over
$4,000, the surtaX is $3.50 plus Is rer
cent Of the surtax net income above
$4,000. On surtaX net income over
