When there was much unemployment, the unions were try- |ing to make more work by establishing shorter work weeks, spreading the national income more evenly. Now, in time of war, labor leaders should con~ {tinue the fight to maintain as high a standard of living as possible. But the solution is not in higher wages. Tt is in tntlomptmg to hold prices where they are, even fight- ing for lower prices. Lower prices should be union's demand now, not higher wages. Only so imuch consumer goods is available now. More money {added to the national income will only raise prices. ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TQ BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION.

According to news from Washington, President Harding had planned fourteen addresses on his Aldska trip and was to speak in five Pacific Coast cities. B. D. Stewart, Supervising Engineer for the Federal Bureau of Mines, and in charge of Territorial mine and labor investigations, was to arrive here on the transport Cambrai. He had been accompanying the party of Congressmien since their arrival oir the Alaska Ratlroad. Miss Elva Kirkham, who had Beén teaching in Koskla, Idaho, during the winter, was expected home on the Alameda. It was announced by the Alaska Steamship Company here that the public was to be welcomed aboard the new steamer Alaska when she arrived here the following day from the South on her maiden trip. The Coliseum Orchestra had been engaged to furnish music for dancing iwhlle the steamer was in port, no matter what the hour of arrival was.

Income tax payments made March 15 and June 15 of this year under the present law will be credited to taxes due on 1943 in- comes, raking citizens current. The bill becomes fully operative for some six million taxpayers' who owe $50 or less now for a full year'’s levies. It will be only 76 percent effec- tive, however, for the great bulk of the nation’s forty-four million taxpayers, who will find their debt to Uncle Sam raised by this opera- tion. Their payments of the re- maining 25 percent are calculated to give the Treasury a windfall of about three billion dollars in next two years. As an example of how this will work, a married person with no children who made $2,000 net in- come in 1942 will find that all but $68.25 of the $204.75 tax he now owes on that ircome will be can- celed.
