NEW LAW GIVES
AID 10 SCHOOLS
IN SPECIAL TAX
At the recent session of the ter
ritorial legislature there was at
act passed to impose a tax upor
male persons in the territory o:
Alaska, for school purposes, anc
providing means for its collection
and declaring an emergency,
i Under the provisions of this act
every male person over 21 year;
of age and under SO years of age
except soldiers, sailors in the Unit
1 ed States navy or revenue cuttei
service, volunteer firemen, paupers
| insane persons or territorial charg
es, are subject to an annual tax ir
the sum of $5, and every person
firm or corporation having in hi;
or its employ persons subject tc
such tax. is required to deduct the
amount of such tax from wages o;
salary due such person, and to pay
all amounts so deducted to the
school tax collector for the sehoo’
district in which the person, from
whom such tax is so collected, re
sides or is employed at the time
the tax becomes due and payable.
The tax for 1919 became due
and payable, as to all persons then
within the territory and otherwise
subject to the tax, immediately
upon the passage and approval of
the act, which was prior to May
: 5th. As to all persons subject to
the tax arriving in the territory
of Alaska after the approval of the
act, the tax becomes due and paya
ble within thirty days after such
arrival. Subsequent to the year
1919 the tax will become due and
payable in accordance with the pro
visions of Section 4 of the act.
While the act imposes upon the
school tax collector referred to
-
therein certain duties with refer
nce to publishing notices, demand
ing list of employes subec-t to tax.
etc., the duty of every employer in
the territory to collect the tax is
im;--ed by the act itself and is
not dependent upon the publica
tion or service of notice or demand
by the school tax collector.
Section 8 of the act provides that
it shall be the duty of the school
tax collector to demand a list of
the employes of every person, firm
ior corporation employing labor in
jthe territory, and that the school
tax collector shall furnish suitable
blank forms for making such lists,
etc.; also that such employers are
1 required to deliver the school tax
1 receipts to every employe from
' whom such tax is collected. An
i employer should not delay collec
I tion of this tax pending the or
ganization of the machinery for
’ collection contemplated by the act
> 1 however, at the time tax deduction1
are paid over to the various sehoo'
i tax collectors, a receipt should be
| secured for each employe from
. whom such tax is collected. Dunns
: the season of 1920 and thereafter
! it will probably be practicable tc
! furnish various tax collectors in
i terested with lists of employes and
■ to , arrange to have the tax re
. ceipts delivered to the company by
j the tax collectors, so that the tax
| receipt may be delivered with the
: pay check and settlement made
| thereafter with the tax collectors.
; In view of the fact that the
■ act makes every employer liable
| for the amount of the tax of each
; employe in all cases where such
; tax is not paid by the employe di
: rectly to the tax collector, it will
i be necessary to arrange for de
ductions from the May payroll in
order to avoid penalties provided
’ for in the act.

- STARTED TODAY
Commencement was made thi' i
morning on. the work in connection
with the tilling in of the water
front. A gang of men. assis'ed by
the Brown hoist and her crew, in
charge of Sid Sheldon, swung the
railroad track from near the foot |
of A street toward the waterfront, j
to enable the Brown hoist to travel j
along the waterfront, making tr.e i
fill as she goes along.
A cut in the bank, which in the;
winter season is used as a roadwac I
for teams and automobiles cross
ing the river, has been bridged over
temporarily with logs, to enable
the hoist, cars and locomotive to i
cross over.
As soon as the track has beer,
completed along the waterfront for
a sufficient distance to permit the:
hoist to operate, it will begin dredg
ing the river for a distance within [
reach of the boom, depositing the
dredging on the riprapping. The:
orange-peel bucket is to be used
by the Brownie and track will be
extended as required, from time '.o j
time, until the back fill up to a 1
point a short distance above the
steam laundry has been completed. 1
On completion of the w»ork, the
temporary track will be taken up
again.
