Ice Pool Closes Thursday

William c. Williams, mana ger of the Nenana Ice Pool, e. ports that the ice on the Panama is now 40 inches thick and that the temperature Gaily is hover ing around 30 below.
 The report places the ice at a greater thickness than this time last year but the increase in thickness after the thawing starts in spring has more influence on when the ice will break.
 Manager Williams also said that the weather has been par ticularly windy, and "old timers say there should be an earlier breakup this year"
 In the Cinema river two men drilled for better than an hour and got through 55 inches of ice and were unable to go any far ther to see how thick it was.
 The Nenana ice pool used to end on Saturdays, but this year the closing date is earlier than usual. Ticket holders are remind ed that next Thursday, April 4, at midnight, is the deadline for depositing tickets

Money On The Line
And Tribal Dignity

With the campaign of the
biennial election of the 81 ackfeet
Tribal Business Council getting
under way. the Chief, out of its
experience with some of the can
didates two years ago, has
established the cash policy. both
for newspaper announcements
and card orders,
With paper stock, ink and all
other material now at advanced
prices through general imitation
throughout the country, the
Chiefs margin Of profit does not
warrant risk of unpaid bills.
However, there are few
among the many possible can.
didates who have business rela.
tions with the Chief from time
to time. Obviously. in their case
they have an established credit.
Regardless of their fortunes in
in elections they would not don
the robe of the white elephant. "
1t is the ambition of the Chief
to give every candidate a
maximum of service, It is also
the hope of the Chief that cam
paign managers or literary
secretaries" of candidates desist
from engaging in "tom-foolery."
II they write platforms or an
nouncements for candidates the
Chief insists they be free from
nonsense. Above all. honesty in
statements is paramount.
Pages of the Chief will not be
appropriated for comic purpose.
In furtherance Of this the Chief
insists on the right to delete
from campaign platforms or an
nouncements anything that
would be undignified in the liRht
| of the serious procedure involved
lin naming members for the next
biennial Tribal Business Council.

Income Tax
Explained By
Helena Chief

Lewis Penwell. collector of In
ternal Revenue, of Helena has
prepared series of question:
naires snd answer to provide
specific information on income
tax.
The first of the series is con.
tanned 10 the following:
What Federal tax form must
filed by January 18th? Your 1945
Declaration o f Estimated Tax
Tor an amendment of your 1915
Declaration).
Does everyone have to file
Declaration? No. This filing
should not be confused with the
regular time for filing annual in
come tax returns, " hich must be
filed not later than March Is.
Who does have to file January
18th! Three groups as follows:
(a) farmers. (b) persons who
filed a 1945 Declaration of EstI.
mated Tax, but wish to change
their estimates, (c) persons who
should have filed 1915 Declara-
ton but have failed to do 80.
Did everybody have to file a
1915 Declaration? No. only ger.
sons whose wages last year ex.
ceeded $4,000 plus $500 for every
exemption their own and persons
who bad over 500 income out
side of wages from which tax
was withheld assuming their
overall income was at least $500.
What are some examples? A
wageearaer with a wife and one
child has tw o exemptions be-
sides his own, and if wage ex-
ceeeded 5000 (S5. 900 plus $500
plus S500), he had to file l945
Declaration. Also required to file
were merchants, landlords, doc
tors. and others who received in
come from which tax was not
withheld.
Why is January Is a special
date for farmers? Other tax
payers were required to file dec
larations last March, but the law
specifically permitted farmers to
wait until next January Is.

KODIAK DIARY ...

A visitor to Kodiak from Fair banks, on his return to his home, told that "the thermometer was down to 8 above zero, which for the west coast is colder than many a times lower temperature in dry Fairbanks" and that there were 2 or 3 inches of snow and glare ice everywhere.
 We are going to send the statement to Finstein for analy- sis. Eight degrees (what therm- ometer was he looking at and what was he doing out that late?l at Kodiak may feel worse than several degrees colder at Fair banks, we admit, but itisn't cold CT because if it were the theImom- eter would feel it, too and would go on down some more and it would be colder than eight but whatever it would go down to that traveller would probably re- port that it was colder than sew eral more degrees colder in Fair banks.
