' TAXPAYERS WILL MEET NO
DELAY IN FILING RETURNS
TACOMA, Wash., Dec. 27.—Assured
by the Bureau of Internal Revenue of
prompt service in furnishing the ne
cessary forms, taxpayers need experi
ence no delay in the filing ot their in
come lax returns for the year 1923.
The filing period is from January 1 to
March 15, 1924. On January 2, the
first being a holiday, forms for filing
individual corporation, partnership,
personal service corporation, informa
tion, fiduciary, and other returns re
quired by the revenue act will be
available at the office of Collector of
, Internal Revenue, Tacoma, Washing
ton and the following branch offices:
Seattle, Spokane, Bellingham, Everett,
Aberdeen, Vancouver, Wenatchee, Ya
kima, Walla Walla. After January 2,
! a copy of the form desired may be ob
tained on written request from Burns
i Poe, Collector of Internal Revenue at
| Tacoma.
Form 1049-A, heretofore used for
filing returns of individual net in
come of $5,000 and less, from what
ever source derived, has been revised
and simplified in the interests of the
largest class of taxpayers, salaried
persons and wage earners. The new
form will be used for reporting net
incomes for the year 1923 of $5000
and less, derived chiefly from salaries
and wages. Reducing to a minimum
the problem of correctly making out
! an income tax return, Form 1040.A
! consists of a single sheet in which
j space is provided for answers to only
three questions in relation to income:
; salaries wages, commissions, etc.; in
i terest on bank deposits, notes, mort
t gages and corporation bonds and
; “other income.” On the reverse side
! are instructions. Formerly Form
j 1040A has consisted of six pages, the
| questions pertaining not only to sal
I aries and wages, but to income from
! business, professions, sales of real es
i tate and other sources. It is estimat
; ed that for the year 1923 more than
: four million persons or 70 per cent of
those who annually are required to
file income tax returns will use the
new form.
Persons, any part of whose income
for the year 1923 was derived from
business or profession, farming, sale
of property or rents, regardless of the
amount, wfill be required to use the
larger form, 1040. The use of Form
1040 will be required, also, in cases
where the net income was in excess
of $5000 whether from salary, busi
ness, profession, or other taxable
sources. Formerly Form 1040 was
used only for reportinig individual net
income of more than $5000.
Forms for filing individual returns
of income will be sent to persons who
filed similar returns for the year 1922.
It being impossible to determine this
year the form desired by the taxpay
er whether he be a man whose in
i, come was derived chiefly from salary
| or wages or from business, profession
j or other taxable sources,—the taxpay
j er will receive both forms and is ad
| vised to note carefully the instruc
! tions regarding their use.

One of Best Known Alaskans—In Em
ploy of Express Companies for
Over Thirty Years
Recent Alaska newspapers have
public accounts of the death ot Clay
ton S. Crider, who was tor many years
traveling auditor, in Alaska, lor the j
American Railway Express Co. Mr.
Crider died at Napa, Cal., November
3, 1923. He was well and tavoraDly
known not only by the traveling pub
lic and business men, but by many ot
the Pioneers ot this section, as he
spent several years here in prospect
ing and mining. On this account it
seems that his career is deserving oi
more than a passing notice.
Before coming to Alaska Mr. Crider|
was employed as messenger by Wells-j
Fargo and the Pacific Express compa
nies, running out of Helena and|
Butte Montana, and Spokane and Se-j
uttle, Washington. In 1901 he and,
some others equipped a small vessel!
and sailed to the Kuskokwim liver.!
They ascended the river to a point|
where McGrath is now situated, and]
spent the winter. The following sum
mer Mr. Crider came dowm the Ku»-j
kokwim and crossed the portage to
the Yukon, at Russian mission. After
that he was engaged in mining on
Engineer creek in the Fairbanks dis
trict. Later he was employed at Ka
talla, Cordova and Latouche. Follow
ing this he went back into the service!
i of the express companies. Altogether!
l he was in their employ for over thirtyi
years, as messenger, agent and trav-j
| eling auditor.
| As auditor Mr. Crider made periodi-j
. cai visits to all of the express offices!
I in this Territory from Ketchikan to
! Nome, and in consequence his ac
quaintanceship among Alaskans was
extensive. He made many friends.
Integrity, industry and tireless energy
were his predominating characteris
tics. Concerning him, one of his
friends recently wrote:
' In my opinion lie was by far the
most competent person ever em
ployed by the express company in
Alaska. To meet him was always a
pleasure. He was a tireless worker
and to this can be charged his ill
ness and later his death.”
In tile fall of 19211, Mr. Crider was
stricken with his Iasi sickness and
while he became better in health dur
ing the summer of 1923 he never fully
recovered. The American Railway
Exppress Company paid him his sala
ry until he died and had him taken to
California in hopes that the change
would benefit him. However, on Nov
ember 5, 1922, he passed away.
May he rest in peace!
