Ketchikan who was heard today in | favor of passage of the bill. In the| one important difference between the Federal and Territorial acts, Mc- | Cain said, the proposed bill is not | more severe, but “many, many “old” | more lenient. That, he said, is in the rate of taxation, which he term- | ed “the thing we're intérested in as | taxpayers.” McCain cited one case Wi ch he said had been cited to him of a man | |who now pays about $200,000 in Fed- | 1d eral income tax but who wou junder the proposed Territoria |only $186,000. | The Mayor, who emphasized that | |ne did not appear for the City of | Ketchikan or for any group, but only for himself, declared that he | did not urge high taxes, that the | payment of taxes was no more pleas- | ant to him than to anyone else, but vay tax | | MOTHER NATURE PAINTS A CANVAS—Rolling waves that dashed their spray over ice-capped boulders made this picture of chill northern beauty.
