CHANGE IS URGED IN
PERCHASES FOR NATIVES
WASHINGTON—To expedite and
provide for improved purchasing ar
rangements for the Office of Indian
Affairs in making its purchases re
quired by the service in Alaska, Del
egate Dimond has introduced a bill
to authorize the purchasing officers
designated by the. Secretary of the
Interior to incur obligations up to
75 per cent f the amount available
ior such purchases for the fiscal year
then current, when arorppriations
for the benefit of natives of Alaska
have not been made prior to March 1
vVith the enactment of this bill the
Indian Office car. make a large part
of its necessary purchases or incur
obligations against purchases for use
in it: Alaska service without waiting
f r atua! enactment of the appro
priate n bill in which the items are
ei ried. Need for such arrangement
in the Alaska service of the Indian
O ice occurs through the difficulty
experienced in making purchases late
in the season and skipping them to
the outlying pi ints where the Gov
ernment provides schools for the na
tives, which in many localities are
served only by the vessels in the In
dian service, and because of season
al conditions in A’r.rka, these sup
plies must be started out early in the
. car. Under existing law it is ne
cessary to wan until the appropria
tion estimated in the bills are act
sally enacted into law before obliga
tions can be incurred against them.
EMPLOYERS warned
regarding excise tax
WASHINGTON — Employers of

Yet of 1935. a penalty of from five

of delinquency."

sion of time for the filing of returns

however, did not apply to subsequent
payments in cases where the quarter
ly installment privilege was used.
