Two Pills For
 Income Tax Headache
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON Within a few weeks some 37 million Americans will begin receiving two little no- tices. These notices will be un- pleasant reminders. no doubt, of an upcoming headache but my ad- vice is not to part with them, either in disgust or carelessness. They'll be a tidy bit of help in al- leviating said headache.
 Soon employers will start dis tributing statements to employees listing their wages and the a. mount of income tax and Victory tax withheld from those wages in 1943. About the same time the collector of internal revenue will mail to income taxpayers state ments specifying their tax on 1922 income and the portion of the tax they paid in 1943.
 Federal income taxpayers and they now include the vast major ity of wage earners - will need those notices for filling out 1943 income reports, due on or before March 15. This looks like the toughest taX-reporting job in U. S. history what with new complica- tions such as figuring whether you owe Uncle Sam more money or he owes you some after 1943 with holdings and other payments, and computing that unforgiven part of 1g42 Or 1g43 tax Whichever is larger).
 The collectors statement f your 1942 tax, and your payments on it. will be in the same envelope as the income taxx form. Hold on to both of 'em. After using the 1922 statement in making out your report for 1943, you will be expected to return it with the re- port to the collector. He needs it in checking your return.
 The statement from your employ CT on Withholdings will help you get full credit for taxes already paid.
 Another new angle which com plicates the return will be the computation of your Victory tax due for 1943. together with figur- ing the Victory tax credit. That credit varies with your marital sta tus and the number of dependents you had during 1943.
 And that isn't all. Besides the complete 1943 return, there is al- so due on March 15 another one of those pesky declarations intro duced alst September much to the discontinue of affected taxpayers and the internal revenue workers, who handled their "guesses" on in- come.
 The dither over the declaration business is going so strong that there is talk in congressional tax circles of abolishing the March Is declaration (not the return to les sen the confusion. Taxpayers, some ! congressman feel, will be befuddl- 1 ed enough by the job of making out the 1943 return without re- quiring them to tackle an estimate of 1914 income at the same time. Two more likely alternatives to , abolishment of the March 15 de- claration are: CD postponing it to a later date; CD simplifying it so that tax estimating will be an easier job One proposal is that tax declarants arbitrarily put down the same estimate as they did for 1943. This could be amended later if necessary.

Voluntary retirement of William 4. Holzheimer as District Attorney in the First Judicial Division of Alaska may be expected shortly. Due to failing health, particularly eye sight with which he has been troubled for several years Judge Holzheimer has let it be known to close friends that he will not seek reappointment and is planning to step out of public life just as soon as a successor can be decided up- on. At least three men are being considered at the present time. They are Charles Clasby, now U. s. Attorney in the Second Division; Lynn Gemmill, former assistant to Judge Holzheimer and now chief attorney for the Office of Price Administration in Alaska, and Robert Jernberg, present Assistant U. s. Attorney in this Division. Jernberg definitely is not candi- date for the office, but rather Is seeking desperately, and has since

Once he almost got a gun in his hand, when the Justice Department stepped in and virtually demanded his deferment At last report he was still hoping to be a soldier, not District At torney. Dearth of capable young attorneys in Alaska may keep Bob reading law instead of the articles Of war.
 Retirement of Judge HOlzheimer will take from public life in the Territory one of it's outstanding pioneer attorneys, and one of the most rabid Democrats who ever de fled a Republican on any and all occasions. Out of the University of Michigan, which has turned out it's share and then some of able lawyers Judge Holzheimer migrat- ed west and for years practiced ill Seattle, where, in his spare mom- ents he became one of that states most active Democratic leaders. Later he practiced in Ketchikan anu buG W 4AbOn cA0AAAAAA6eAN N ton served as Federal Judge in the Second Division with head quarters at Nome. He has served as District Attorney in this Divi- sion since the present Roosevelt administration. Honest, hearty, two-fisted, warmly human, Judge Holzheimer has done his work ably for the Territory of Alaska, and thousands of Alaskans from the far north to Ketchikan will be wishing him happy years ahead as his public duties are laid aside.

turmoil appears to emanate from the Third Division where the Carl Drager- Harvey Smith faction and the anti Drager Smith faction threaten to bring their feud onto the floor of the convention. Man who may be able to keep the fac tionists in line Is National Com mitteeman Oscar G. Olson, himself a very potent Third Diyisioner, who is reported to be getting a very substantial block of votes with which to operate. Despite a largely proxy attendance, it looks like the donkey-riders may be hay ing more political fun than a lit-. tie bit what with the anti-state- hooders and the anti-fourth-term-. ers attempting to get armed to the teeth.

 Speaking of statehood, which is. one of our favorite themes, we get this succulent tid-bit from former Senator c. H. "Alabamp La Boy. teaux of LiYengood, who, incident ally is the U. S. Commissioner there, and, as We get it, is not any too hot on this statehood business. Says "Alabam", without mineing words: "One of the reasons l take your paper is because it is almost as old as I have been years in the Territory, but for Gods sake, don't. advocate statehood" WhatIl we do, Alabam, Secede?

 Capt. Williams of the North Sea, whose affable personality does more to sell the Northland Transportation Company in Alas ka than anything we know of, was officially" loaded when he went through Wrangell last week end. Aboard he had these officials: Mike Haas, Representative of the U. s. Department of Labor in Al aska, not to be confused by any stretch of the imagination with the Territorial Department of La bor which Walter P Sharpe heads CBuddies? We'll, hardly); Hugh Wade, Social Security Director in the Territory the chap who ans wers good old forms SS-4 and SS-5 when you want a number; Frank Dufresne, Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission, and maybe some others (no passenger list during war time). Haas was Ketchikan bound for the labor convention there to answer ques- tions relative to labor problems as effecting government req i r e. ments. Wade was also Ketchikan- ing on official business and Du- fresne was Chicago and Washing ton bound for his annual session on game matters, planning to be back in the Territory by mid or late February in time for the an- nual session of the commission in 1 Juneau.
 Aboard on another sort of of ficial business was First Lieut.. Tom Stewart son of Territorial Commissioner of Mines B. D. Stew art. Looking every inch a soldier, young Tom was returning to duty after a Christmas furlough with his father and Mrs. Stewart at the family home in Juneau. Lieut.. Stewart is with the ski-troopers, and before entering the service was one of the top skiers around the Capital City.
 True or false: Judge Simon Hellenthal of the Third Division, facing opposition to his reap pointment, has gone to Washing ton to see about it. True. Gev. Gruening will not return to Alaska but may get an ambas- sadorship. False. Gruening will be Alaska's Governor at least for the duration.
