FROM RESIDENCY THREE
: _
Mr. H. G. Haslem, of the engin
j eering staff, stationed at Residency
3 (35-mile) arrived in town on the
train last night. All the necessary
preparations for the commencement
of grading and construction work
has been taken in hand on the resi
dency. A force is now engaged in
overhauling and repairing the dump
cars and grading equipment at his
| station so that thre will be no delay
when work is commenced. He states
that all of the piling available from
the neighborhood of Camp 18 and
beyond has now been hauled and
; placed in readiness for use in the
bank protection scheme. About
seventy additional piles, he thinks,
.will be needed to complete the under
taking.
Mr. Haslem was medically exam
ined last night, under the selective
: service regulations, and expects to
leave for his station on the train
leaving town Saturday morning.
PERSONAL MENTION

cisco state that the condition of

sicians having given the oldtimer but
a few months to live.
Eli Gray has entered the employ
of the townsite and has been en
gaged during the past several days
in clearing snow from the walks
' about town. ,
Andy Hoey, of the Terminal, is in
receipt of a letter from Jack Lee,
in which the former resident of Ne
nana states that he is now in the
navy, having secured a berth on the
battleship Virginia. And incidentally
he often recalls the happy, care-free
days of the North.
Jayson Buzby, former Fairbanks
boy, recently joined the aviation
service and is stationed at Fort Mc
Dowell, where is is receiving addi
tional instruction. The young man

IN WHO DODGE
INCOME TAXES
WILL GET LIMIT
The Bureau of Internal Revenue,
treasury department, has issued the ^
following:
“Tax slackers will be prosecuted
as vigorously and relentlessly under
the war-revenue act as draft slack
ers were prosecuted under the select
ive service act. The aid of all good
citizens is invoked in bringing to
justice the man who deliberately
seeks to evade his just share of the
war burden.”
This is the statement of Commis
sioner of Internal Revenue Daniel
C. Roper. Revenue officers in every
section of the country are checking
up returns with a view to begin
ning prosecutions against tax dodg
ers. The word has gone forth that
such offenders need expect no leni
ency.
Ignorance of Law No Excuse
“Through its educational cam
paign the bureau of internal revenue
has endeavored to cover the field
so thoroughly that ignorance of the
law can not be consistently offered
as an excuse,” said Commissioner
Roper. “The press, the four-minute
men, the state and county councils
of defense, the field force of the
department of agriculture, and other
offices, and hundreds of volunteer
agencies have co-operated in bring
! ing home to the taxpayer his duty
“The man who failed to register
] under the selective service act was
regarded by the war department as
a slacker and prosecuted as such.
, The man w'ho failed to file his in
| come tax return will be regarded as
| a ‘money slacker,’ and when dis
covered. as he will be, will be made
| to suffer full penalties of the law.
Majority Will Pay Cheerfully
To the credit of the nation it may
, be said that I have gratifying and
I conclusive evidence that these in
! come taxes will be paid by the great
majority of the American people
; cheerfully and willingly. But the
duty of the honest man does not end
i with the payment of his own tax.
II call upon him to aid in bringing
into camp the tax dodger. A man
so niggardly as to seek to evade
what his representatives in congress
have declared to be his just share
of a tax imposed for the support
; of our arms is deserving of no con
sideration and will receive none.
“Congress has distributed this tax
1 justly and equitably. The rate is
| fixed so that the rich man and the
men of moderate means are assessed
each according to his income. No
man can offer the excuse that his
! neighbor escapes what he is made to
pay. Therefore, it is incumbent
'upon all good citizens to aid in car
I rying out the intent and spirit of the
j law, which is that the burden of
1 the war tax be evenly distributed
! and every man compelled to pay his
i just quota.
_
i The Thelin stage is scheduled to
j leave Fairbanks tomorrow morning
| for enana. Thelin expects to be
'able to make one more round trip
'after the one on which he will start
1 tomorrow.
i Mrs. Geo. Smith, of Fairbanks,
who recently underwent an opera
tion at the Government hospital, has
practically recovered and expects to
I return to her home in the upper
town on the first boat after the
opening of navigation.
Joe Johnson is in Fairbanks get
ting his new Peerless in shape for
service on the river this summer.
The new boat will be one of the
best on the river during the coming
season.
Neal Van Houten, who with his
partner L. A. White, recently com
pleted a contract with the Alaskan
Engineering commission to deliver a
quantity of coal at the bunker at
43-mile, came to town yesterday.

"WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
Issued by the
UNITED STATES
GOVERNMENT
“Help your country”
Says Secretary McAdoo.
“I write to ask you to help your country.
“You can do so and also help yourself in
a very simple manner.
“Many of us can not fight, but every one
of us can help by saving. Every dollar
saved and not spent on unnecessary things
releases that amount of labor and material
to make articles for our Army and Navy.
When a dollar that is saved is loaned to the
Government it is doubly effective.
“To that end Congress has authorized the
sale of War Savings Stamps in denomina
tions of $5 and 25 cents, respectively. Each
War Savings Stamp you buy is a loan to
the United States Government, is a direct
help to every soldier and sailor who is risk
ing his life in the war, and is a safe and
simple way to invest your savings.
“The United States Government pledges
its entire resources and credit to repay this
loan on January 1, 1923, with 4 per cent in
terest.”
