Employers’ Tax Legislation Is Up in cnngress By J. J.

Under the Social Security Act this percentage of the employers’ tax would revert to the States and Territories which met the require- ments of the unemployment-com- pensation law by December 31, 1936. To be eligible for this benefit some of the States called special elec- tions and, in all 36 States passed the required unemnloyment-com- pensation laws before the deadline act—December 31, 1936—and receiv- ed the 90 per cent credit in their tax returns. However, 13 States and the Ter- ritories of Hawali and Alaska were unable to comply with this require- ment until their Legislatures in 1937. And as a result they were required to pay the entire tax col- lected into the Federal Treasury instead of reserving 90 per cent of it for the unemployment fund of the State or Territory. Through enactment of this bill these States and Territories will receive the same WiTH THE METER‘MISER THRILLING NEW COMPLETENESS IN ALL 5 BASIC SERVICES for Home Refrigeration 1.

Eight Reasons| Why It Pays to Have Your Eyes and the Eyes of Your Children Cared for by Your Local Optometrist. FIRST— BECAUSE your Juneau Optometrist (Eyesight Specialist) is here the year round and MUST make good every claim. BECAUSE your glasses require occas- ional adjustment and this expert serv- ice MUST be Jone by a resident Op- tometrist. BECAUSE quality for quality, you pay no more than you would from any legitimate (non bait-advertising) out- side practitioner. BECAUSE your local Optometrist is eq.uxpped with the latest and most scientific eye examining instruments, such as are found in the best optom- etric establishments in the states; in- struments that CANNOT be carted around from place to place; which means that in patronizing your local Optometrist you are assured of a thor- ough and scientific examination, as well as the necessary AFTER care. BECAUSE no Optometrist that has ever visited Alaska during our thirteen years residence in the Territory, could produce credentials from as fine and reputable an Optometric College as your local Optometrist. BECAUSE Cross Eyes GANNOT be straightened by glasses only. = They need corrective exercises to develop fusion and binocular ecoordination, and, such exercises can only be obtained at the office of your resident Optom- . etrist, who has special instruments for . that part)cuhu' purpose, SEVENTH —BECAUSE many cases of progressive MYOPIA (near sightedness) need be and can be checked and reduced by proper exercises for which your resi- dent Optometrist has the needed in= struments. AND LASTLY BECAUSE your local Optometr.at needs your business in order to make possible that you have a competent specialist in this line in your commun- ity at all times. DR.
