INCOMES TELL THE STORY.

No truer indication of the fact that things are locking up for residents of Alaska can be found than the report of Alex NICK. Vierhus, Collector Internal Revenue, for the district including the State of Washington and the Territory. MT. Vierhus reports that collections for January of this year T per cent than 1885 and that February 65 per cent year ago. The actual col lectons for the first months of this year were S667475, or gain of S269. .258 over the period
 year ago These increases are the significant, MT Vierhus believes, because they also show an of approximately 60 per cent the 1884 returns
 Analysing further, the Collector points out that the greater part of the increase comes from the small salary and wage earning class returns although there is substantial gain for all classes of tax payers.
 There can be but one answer to that picture ment in dollars and cents. You don't pay income tax unless you make income The old adage is that money talks. and certainly it talks in the income tax returns in a loud voice of general industrial recovery If the increase in returns mostly from those in the larger brackets it would be a much less heartening picture, but when the gain is noticeable in the small salary and wage earning class it reveals the widespread scope of readjust ment and employment. In view of the noise that has and is being made about the number of persons vierhus' report is particularly enightening.

 It is to be hoped that the public is not unappre ciative of the boon conferred upon by the Supreme Courts decision nullifying the late Huey Longs paper tax law This measure now happily thrown into the discard, constituted the worst threat to a free press that this country has far experienced Con- ceved by woud-be dictator it aimed to destroy rights and privileges which always have been held funda- mental in democracy. If it had been declared valid could easily have been followed by such restrictions upon the newspapers of Louisiana to make them completely survervent to the State administration.
