Under the new rates recently established by England’s Chancellor of the Exchequer, a married Englishman who earns $5,000 annually will pay an income tax of approximately $527. In the United States a man of the same earning capac- ty pays $5.62, or slightly more than one per cent. of what the Englishman is taxed Relatively, then we have light taxes in this country. There is little wonder that England with such a tax burdén on its hands is feeling some- Ithing like a serious industrial depression. A ten per cent. income tax on a $5000 earning capacity is really something to worry about. If the English are prone just now to “grouse” about hard times, |few American income taxpayers will feel like criti- |cising them. ing rates: s, In advance, | 86.00: one mior Cubscribers wi notify the Bus In the delivery Tel & confer BER OF ASSOCIATE it or not local news ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION BLOCK VOTE IS UNBROKEN. | Another Lindbergh Record.
