Charles C. Johns Tells Coast Resi
dents About New Tax
Requirements.
In addition to income taxes there
are a number of other federal taxes
which apply to residents of Alaska,
i acording to Charles C. Johns, deputy
] collector of internal revenue, who
I is visiting the different towns along
| the Alaska coast for the purpose of
1 investigating the war tax conditions.
| “All carriers transporting freight
or passengers.” said Mr. Johns, “by
rail or water, or in competition with
rail or water transportation, are re
j quired to render monthly returns
I to the collector of internal revenue
i and pay a tax of 3 per cent on
| freight charges and 8 per cent on
j passenger fare collected ”
“Stamp taxes of varying amounts”
continued Mr. Johns, “are payable
on stock certificates, deeds, promis
; ory notes, powers of attorney, prox
I ies, stock transfers, etc., and all such
instruments not having tax stamps
attached, are invalid.”
“Motor boats which are used for
pleasure are required to be regis
tered and pay a yearly tax, the
amount of which depends on the
, size and tonnage of the craft,” con
tinued Mr. Johns.
A fine of $1,000 or imprisonment •
: or both, and in addition thereto, a I
| penalty of double the amount of ’
tax evaded, attaches to any person
or corporation failing tc make re
; ports, making false or fraudelent
; ! reports, failing to collect, account
t ' for or pay over the tax, or for
. evading or attempting to evade the
; tax.
.! After covering the coast country,
, Mr. Johns will extend his investi
gations to the Interior of Alaska.
MOOSE WILL MEET
TO START SEARCH!1
A special meeting of the Nenana
lodge of the Loyal Order of Moose
has been called for tonight to con
sider the disappearance of William
Carpenter, a member of the local
organization who has been missing
since last Friday. The question of
instituting a systematic search will
be brought up for the consideration
of the members and it is considered
probable that definite action will be
taken without further deal.
The friends and lodge brothers
of the missing man have become
thoroughly convinced that some mis
hap has befallen him. He has dis
appeared completely, leaving no trace
behind. In all probability. Moose
lodges throughout the territory and
on the coast will be asked to make
inquiries, the local members wili
continue the search which was start
ed several days ago by friends of
Carpentei.
Geo. A. Hunter, head of the Pinska
store at Fairbanks, is in Nenana on
a brief business visit. He made the
trip down on the steamer Reliance,
arriving here at an early hour this
morning.
