DIM0ND HIGHWAY
AID Bill IS TAKEN
UP BY CHAMBER

| Alaska Delegate Anthony j. Di-
mond has requested the opinion OF
the Juneau Chamber of Commerce
on a bill he has introduced in Con-
gress to extend the Federal Highway
and Aid Act to Alaska. The bill
and request was referred to the
Legislative Committee for an inves-
tigation and report.
The bill would Permit Alaska to
share in the appropriations made
under the act for the construction
of roads and highways. The mea-
sure already benefits the Hawaiian
Islands and Puerto Rico in addi-
ton to the 48 states.
Under Dimond's bill Alaska would
share in the same manner the
funds distributed under the act.
President Homer Garvin said
some opposition has been met in
Washington to the bill by persons
claiming that the Territory has con-
tributed little to the building OF
roads to date.
Appointed chairman of the Fifth
War Loan Drive for the Chamber
was Frank Hermann, Juneau drug
gist.

CITY MANAGER
PLAN TOPIC AT
{. OF {. MEET

Harold B. Foss reported to the
Chamber of Commerce today on the
city manager form of government.
presenting material requested OF
him by the Chamber as head of the
Post War Planning Committee.
The material was gathered from
the National City Managers Asso-
citation, the National Municipal
League, office of the Governor and
other sources.
Foss spoke on the subject, point
ing out that such a plan for Juneau
would greatly aid the postwar de-
velopment of the city which will
require a full-time administrator
who can be assured of his position
year after year as long as he does
good job, responsible to the City
Council which is in turn responsible
to the people at election time.
Mayor A. B. Got" Hayes spoke
briefly, pointing out the difficulties
of the present system and said that
the city manager plan seems to be
superior to the form we have at
present"
George Louden of Fairbanks re-
ported that the plan lost out by 80
votes in Fairbanks due to lack of
information on the part of the pub
lie. He said Fairbanks was offering
between $4,000 and $1,000 as salary
for a city manager and received
between 80 and 40 applications from
capable men.
The Chamber authorized the ex-
penditure of SIS more for securing
additional information on the plan.
The last session of the Legislature
passed an enabling act which per-
mits Alaskan cities to set up the
plan after Is percent of the reg
istered voters have petitioned the
council to hold an election on it.
Guests at today's meeting included
Mayor Hayes, Capt. Glen Allen,
Don Skuse, Gov. Ernest Gruening,
willard Beatty of the United States

The Bureau of Internal Revenue has
made available the following example
of step-by-step procedure in filling
out Income Tax Form 1040A.
John j. Jones filled out his income
tax return the other day and found
out it was lot easier than he expect
ed.
Jones is a clerk. He makes $50 a
week. He has wife and one small
child.
Because his income is less than S3,-
900, he found he could use the short
form of income tax blank, the one
called 1040A. This form can be OBJ
tained at the Postoffice. The short
form was written especially for peo-
pie like Jones, who haven't large in
comes or complicated business affairs.
On this form, you don't have to figure
deductions and things hike that be-
cause the form gives you credit for
an average amount of them.
If you are like Jones, maybe it
would help you with your own income
tax return to see how he did it, step
by step.
First Jones saved himself a lot of
trouble by reading the instructions
and the form carefully. Second, Jones
made it easy by getting together the
figures he would need. Here are the
figures he collected.
"a. The amount of his 1943 wages
and the amount of income tax anC
victory tax taken out of his wages
by his employer. He got both OF
these figures from his employer on 8
receipt Form WY which the law
says your employer must give you.
b. The amount of his other income
Jones had some money in savings
account and he made a note of how
much interest the bank paid or credit.
ed him last year.
C. The amount of his 1912 tax anc
how much he paid on it. Jones copied
these figures from the slip (Form IL.
25) which was mailed him by the Col.
lector of Internal Revenue.
Now, Jones was ready to fill out his
return. He put down his name, ad
dress, occupation and social security
number.
Now let's follow what he did accord.
ing to the numbers on the return
| form.
Item That's wages and other
kind of pay. Jones earned $50 week
last year, working as a clerk for the
Henry Simth company in his home
town. Of course, there were a lot of
things such as war bonds, taxes, etc
deducted from his pay check every
week, but Jones had to put down the
full amount of his wages, which came
to $4,000, opposite the name of his
employer.
Item 2-Here he put down the s25
interest he received on his savings.
Incidentally, Jones owns war bonds
too, but unless you elect to accrue
bond interest you don't have to figure
the interest on war bonds until YOU
cash them or they mature.
Item 3-He added the $4,000 and
S25.
Item 4-Jones has young daught-
er, named Mary, so he wrote her name
down and, as the form directs, wrote
his credit of $3.50 over in the money
column.
Item 5-He subtracted the credit
he got for Mary from the last figure.
Item6-He turned over the form
and looked over the boxes at the top
of the pare TO see which one fit him.
No. 4Awas 1T" and he put check
mark iese. Tat meant that Jones
The Bluffton news. [volume] (Bluffton, Ohio) 1875-current, 1944-02-24

would find his income tax in column
C of the table. Jones' figure in Item
5 on the front page was $2,240. He
looked in the table for a line where
that figure would fit. He found line
which said "over $2,225 but not over
S2,250," and then looked across to
Column C, where it said $3.50. That
is Jones' income tax and he wrote it
in Item on the front page.
Item This time, Jones had to do
some figuring at the bottom of the
back page, where it says victory
tax" On line "a" he copied tribe fig
ure he had in Item 3 on the other side,
which was $2,625 On line "b" be put
his victory tax exemption of S624.
Then he subtracted and put the diff
erence of $2,001 on line "c". Then
Jones noticed the two-line table of
percentages, found the percentage
which fit him married, one depenent) !,
and put circle around it. His per-
centage was 2.9. He was a little
rusty ON decimals, so he looked in the
examples to see how to multiply. He
found he had to multiply $2,001 by
.029, and again the example helped
him move the decimal points around
to the right places. This arithemetic
showed him his victory tax was $58.03
and he wrote that figure on line "d''
on the back page and the same figure
in Item 7 on the front page.
Item S-He added the two taxes to-
gether and found the tax on his 1913
income was $217.03.
Item 9-He already had made a
note of the fact that his income tax
for 1912 was $84.17, and he wrote it
down here.
Item 10-The fglre in item was
bigger than the figure in item 8, so
he put the item 8 figure of $217.03
here.
Item 11-Since the item 9 figure
was smaller, he put that figure in item
liza. Next he had to figure three
fourths of SS4.17, which is 63.13.
That's more than $50 so he put 500. .13
in item lib. This was the forgiven
part of his tax. Subtracting, he found
his unforgiven 1912 tax was $21.04.
Item 12-By adding $217.03 and
$2l.04, Jones found his total tax was
S238.07 That would be lot of tax
for Jones to pay all at one time, but
now we have pay-as-you-go-system,
and Jones soon found how that helps.
ltem13-From the figure he pre-
pared before he started to fill out his
return, Jones put down in Item 13-A
the S171.60 tax his employer took out
of his wages, and put down in Item
13-B the S42.09 he had paid ON his
1912 tax. He didn't have anything to
put down in Item 13C because he
didn't have to file declaration of es-
tlmated tax last September or De-
cember. So he added up the other
two figures and found he had already
paid S213.69 of his tax.
Item 14-That left the difference,
S24.38, which is all Jones owed on ac-
count of his 1912 and 1943 taxes.
Item 15-But Jones found he could
postpone until next year what he
owes up to one-half of the S21.04 he
wrote in Item 11-C. Half is S10.52
and he writes that in Item Is.
Item 16-That left $13.86, which is
all that Jones had to pay before March
Is.
Item 17-Jones didn't put anything
here because he didn't have any re-
fund coming to him.
Now, at the bottom of the page
Jones wrote the date, signed his name
and that was al tire was to it. He
