CONGRESSMEN CAN WAIT.
Although they themselves are re
sponsible for the new Income tax I
law, under which taxes are assess- j
ed beginning March 1, 1913, sena
tors and repieseutatives are jubi
lant over a recent ruling which ex
empts them from having their sal
aries taxed before next May at
least. While most folks subject to
the tax are "ponying up"' for the
ten months of 1613 and all of
this year, the congressmen are im
mune from the new tax for months
to come. Bachelors of Congress wil
be hit first by the new tax. They
wil! have the one per cent deduct
ed from their salaries on May 4.
Married Congressmen will have the
tax taken from their salaries July
4. ...
A Treasury Department ruling
upon the income tax is responsible
for the apparent favoritism shown
Congressmen under the new law. Al
though the tax went into effect last
March, the Treasury Department or
dered that the 1 per cent be deduct
ed "at the source—the Senate and
the House Sergeants-at arms, who
TAX AX A SURVEYED LANDS
AVAILABLE FOR SETTLE 118
Government land surveys in the
Tauuna valley iributnrv to Fairbank
now total 15*0,000 acres of lands,
accordiar ;o J. W. Barker, special
Hgeut of the general land office,
who left Fairbanks last September.
Of lUe ci<ut and one-half townships
surveyed and platted much is al
ready settled upon for it includes
the placer fields as well as lands
surveyed fcr prospective homestead
settlers and for fanning purposes.
Speakiu; of the agricultural pos
sibilities of Alaska, Mr. Barker says
That they are enormous, especially
in the great valleys of the river
systems. The Tanana valley, he
believes, has a great fature for ag
riculture and stock raising. The
silo, he says, has evolved the prob
lem of providing fodder for winter
feeding. The expense of clearing
the land of stumps and brush at
present is very high but there are
many natural meadows where there
are no trees to contend with and
these meadows extend over large
areas.
ANOTHER TEXAS TOWN TO
HAVE A BUSINESS MANAGER
Temple, Texas, Jan. 27—It is con
sidered certain here that Temple
c!' lzens will adopt the necessary
changes contained In the draft of
the just completed new charter, pro
viding for a town manager form of
government like that of Dayton,
Ohio. The proposed charter pro
vides for the election of commission
ers who in turn will select a town
manager. The manager will have
supreme control and be held ac
countable. for all departments of
the municipal government. Temple
will be the third town in Texas to
adopt the town manager form in
the past few months, Denton and
Amarillo having already taken this
sUp.

pay Congressional salaries—only up
on payments in excess of $3,000
during last November and Decem
ber. As Congressmen are paid
their $7,500 salaries in monthly in
stallments of $625 upon thevfourth
day of each month, this Treasury
Department order resulted In es
cape of the income tax by all Con
gressmen, who received $1,250 on
the two pay days in November and
December.
Now the Sergeants at arms rule
that they cannot deduct the income
tax from Congressional salaries un
til after each Congressman has
been paid $3,000 or more. This is
because of contingencies that a mem
ber might die or resign and thus no
have an income of over $3,000 be
fore the pay day on May 4, when
members will have received five
checks for $625 each for the five
months of 1914.
As married men are exempt up to
$4,000, it will be July 4 before the
married legislators will have receiv
ed over $4,000 and be subject to
the one per cent salary deduction fo
collection of the tax "at the source"
while the bachelors paying an in
come over $3,000 will have their
salaries, sliced beginning May 4.
