Collections in this district are| more than double last year's) amount, and are about 19 times as heavy as four years ago, Squire said. The 1944 fiscal year ‘“take” of nearly 617 millions is, broken down as follows: Income taxes (individ- ual and corporation) $557,424,095.98 miscellaneous taxes, $34,018,744.83 employment taxes, $25,529,23343. Corporations paid 178,891,216.79 in income and excess profits taxes, while individuals paid $378,532,879.19 on their incomes, nearly 160 mil- lions of it by the withholding' method. Squire peinted out that the in- come tax paid by individuals in the Washington-Alaska district nearly equals the 1914 fiscal year collection of $380,008,893.96 in all kinds of federal taxes for the en- tire country. Miscellaneous taxes for the last‘ fiscal year amounted to more than the total of all federal taxes in this district four years ago—34 mil-| lions compared to 32 millions. Collection costs are surprisingly low, according to internal revenue statistics. The cost of collecting 22, billions during the 1943 fiscal year | was 44 cents per $100 compared with 56 cents per $100 of collections for 1942, | — i THEATRE : | Show Place of Juneau | TWO PAA FLIGHTS 1 T — I T———CT.
