MORE SEEMING THAN REAL

New York business interests have special burden the income tax laws place upon them, and complain that the operation of the tax is discrimin- atory against them. As if to prove these complains to have just basis 4he National Bank of Commerce of that city, in the March issue of it's Commerce Monthly, calls attention to the circumstance that more than 25 per cent of all state contributions for financing the federal government during the period of the war came from the state of New York" It prints statistics to prove it's claim, showing that New York contributed in taxes paid and loans $8744,S19,0 ,0OO out of total of $34,3742330O0. Then it continues:
 Eight states provided nearly three fourth of all internal revenue and two-thirds of all loans issued. These states, each of which contributed at least one billion dollars to public eX- penditures during the war period, list ed in the order of amounts furnished, are New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Massachusetts, California, New Jersey and Michigan"
 The figures quoted and the condi- tions that would seem to justify the New York complaint are more seem- ing than real Assuming that the fig Ures quoted are correct, the question of the distribution of the burdens of taxation is not settled by them. It is not so much a question as to where the office from which these vast sums came was located, or where the bank upon which the checks were drawn is situated, as where was the income and the money paid produced. Millions of Alaska made money have been annually paid into the treasury for income taxes, and for loans, the credit for which went to New York, San Francisco, Seattle, Iacoma and other cities, be- cause the accounting was made and the checks written in offices that were located in those cities. That applies to most of our large mining and fisheries companies. Texas and Oklahoma oil fields Arizona, Mon tana, Utah and Alaska copper mines, western cattle and sheep ranges, Pa eific and southern forests, railroads and industries everywhere earned a very large percentage of these taxes which New Workers find so burden. some. In all probability if all the facts could be ascertained 1t would be discovered that the income tax has borne heavier on production and on individuals in Alaska than 1t has in New York.
