Another company's Figures

"The Pacific American Fisheries,
probably the. second largest company
operating in the Territory, was ass
esse da total tax of $52.936.24 by the
Territory alone in 1924 This does
not include the Federal tax for the
year 1924, which amounted to the
further sum of $17,6S4.72. The entire
net profits of this company in 1924
was $92,24262, and the Territorial
taxes alone, exclusive of Federal tax
es amounted to almost 500 of this
company's entire net profits.
Figures were presented at the last
Session of the Legislature in 1925,
showing that this company with an
investment in the Territory OF many
millions of dollars, net profits in the
four years 1919 to 1922. inclusive
of only $72,164.35, or a little over
$4,000 a year This is very much
less than the average Territorial. tax
for those years computed under the
law as it now stands.
Figures and statistics given for
these two companies are typical, and
examples could be multiplied many
times by an examination of the rec
ords of the other companies operat.
ing in this business. The records
in the office of the Territorial Treas.
urer show that during the last bien
MUM the receipts were $4,000 great
er than the disbursements, and this
does not take into account the sum
of $4,000 which is still due under
the provisions of the graduated taxes
which were levied in 1923. The fea
ture of this law providing for the
graduated schedule is being tested in
the courts and a test case is now
pending in the Supreme Court of the
United States. II the Territory wins
this suit there is $170,00O due and
unpaid and there will probably be
another $4,000 at least for the year
l1924, and there will probably be an
other $150,O00 for the next bienniun
of 1925 and 1926.

How It Affects One Company

speaker, reverting to fisheries ques
ton again, amounted to over S1s1, 900
and their net profits from cannery
operations, amounted in round mum
bers to $344,000, so that their taxes
in that year were almost 900 OF
their entire profits from the cannery
operations.
Their invested capital was in
round numbers S7000,0O0 and their
net profits from cannery operations
were less than 62e. In 1924 the
taxes levied against this company
amounted to $S2,235.16; the decrease
was due partly to the drastic regu
lations put into effect in 1924 by
the Bureau of Fisheries under the
new White Law. The entire net
profits from cannery operations In
1924 was in round numbers $131 900
or less than 2eo on their invested
capital 1t will be observed that this
company's taxes in 1928 were $4,000
more than their entire net profits
from cannery operations In 1924
This company is the largest salmon
