S. Coast Guard headquarters building which, it is almost cer- tain, will bring Alaska Coast Guard headquarters to Juneau. With the announcement by Keith Chairman of the Community Building C finance committee, that the $300,000 necessary to start construction on the building has been raised, plans are going ahead and word comes from Washington from Harold B. Foss that the “Coast Guard is well pleased with Juneau's effort and there appear to be no ques- tion about Juneau as location.” As a community effort, the investment the Coast Guard building is one in which the participants may be very proud. Too much credit cannot be given the members of the Community Building Corporation who devoted their time to raising the money required. These are Harold B. Foss, J. A. McLean, George A. Parks, N. C. Banfield and Keith G. Wildes, J. S. Mac- Kinnon and Wallis S. George, the last three of whom constituted the ‘“clean-up” group who last Saturday raised the final $80,000 that put the fund over the top. To the people of the town who have supported their endeavor, committee members have given their G Wildes, poration’s in thanks. Tt has been | the begifining. When, it with Juneau’s plan o community proposition from the Coast Guard is satisfied leases are signed, inment. the nece att it will be a real c munity The New Income Tax Law (Fairbank News-Miner) Alaska’s first Territorial income tax has become | law. ) Dating back to January 1, Territorial inhabitants and Alaska business firms are subject to a levy equal to 10 per cent of the amount of income tax they pay | the Federal government. Non-Alaska workers and business firms are made subject to the same levy on that portion of their incomes directly attributable to Territorial operations or sources. This apvlies in such instances as the wages of shipboard workers and cannery employees who will have taxes withheld on earning while in the Terri- tory. Employers arc to be required to pay quarterly ' but Jndividual returns are to be filed annually at the same time as the Federal returns. Collection from individuals will be via the withholding method as in the case of the Federal taxes on incomes. In definitions and procedues, the Territorial law follows closely that of the Federal government. This should eliminate much of the confusion and paper work incident to collection and reduce to a minimum the number of employees who will have to be added to the payroll (and the cost of the Territorial gov-} ernment) to make the tax effective. l ns will also find that the new Territorial Alask levy will cause some changes in the computation ofi their taxes payable to the Federal government. Sums, paid in income taxes to the Territory in any year are able as an expense item from the income of the vear in figuring the Federal tax. The result | a lowering of the Federal tax bill to some| extent both businesses and individuals. The ; is designed to yield an estimated * $2.- 000,000 in new revenue for support of the Territorial government. Its pasage was one of three points in Governor Gruening's “iscal brogram. Other forms of new or revised taxation, sought by the Gruening administration, include a uniform b ness tax system and a general property tax. These bogged down in the special session and are now due for a showdown in the regular session. In passage of the income tax bill, the House per- mitted language to remain in it which, according to the admission of one of the chamber’s own leaders, was not intended. Tt and several other notable omissions in the handling of legislation by the House, exposed the carelessness with which the chamber was being directed in performances of its duties. It also threw the Senate into a wrangle which was settled by an unsatisfactory 8-8 tie vote. In their future activities, it is to be hoped that both chambers will exercise statesmanlike caution and forethought, thereby demonstrating diligence as law- makers comparable to the enthusiasm with which the Democratic leaders are seeking new ways to raise money from Alaska taxpayers. Dispatches from Juneau tell that the Governor | hailed passage of the new income in gldwing terms. Tie question now is whether Alaska taxpayers will hail the manner of the spending of the added funds by his administration as warmly. ded be e — CONDITIONS OF WEATHER ALASKA PTS. ‘Weather conditions and temper- atures at various Alaska points, also on the Pacific Coast, at 4:30 £ m, 120th Meridian Time, and released by the Weather Bureau, funeau, follov: .
