American, viewing both our own fiscal
policies and the public attitude to-
ward them, that intend to devote
considerable space to the matter.
The British budget Is breathtaking.
Its first feature is the increase of
the basic income tax rate to 25 per
oent-in contrast with our own low
normal rate Of per cent-and the
fact that the tax base Is 50 broad
that it reaches down to touch in
comes Of $500 for single persons and
5000 for a married couple. In this
1t is in sharpest contrast to ours.
Senator Robert M. La Toilette has
repeatedly inveighed against the non-
democratic character of our income
tax, and has pointed out that 90 per
cent Of the taxable individual net
income in the Nation falls in classes
below $50,000 a year of taxable in
come, but that during the fiscal year
Of 1896 only 46 per cent of the Fed
eral income tax revenue came from
these brackets
However, the British have long ac-
cepted the theory that taxation should
be in highest measure direct and SO
widely distributed that revenue would
be firm and dependable and that every
citizen would realize that 1t is his
money that is being spent and not
that OF some economic royalist.
Supertax Important.
More important, therefore is the
/ new British corporate supertax, called
national deficit contribution, and
popularly referred to as the N. D. C..
This tax is designed as a national de-
fenSe contribution from the heavy in
dustries who may be expected to profit
from the arms program superimposed
on the housing boom and the heavy
industry prosperity, which has been
far more steady and cumulative than
ours. This new tax starts from a
base Of standard profits for l933-1935,
and the period averages out as equiva-
lent to 80 per cent Of the profits for
the year 1929-in marked contrast
with out own corporate deflation and
| depression, with the sublnergence Of
profits and incurring Of deficits, and
with very slow emergence, which
picked up momentum only last year.
The new British supertax has GER
tain abatements and safeguards, and
| an alternative base also is provided:
Industry has the choice either of ac-
| cepting the level of normal profits
against which to figure excess profits,
| or to accept the so-called capital
standard" under which profits not ex-
ceeding per cent in equity capital
are exempt, with taxes then ranging
upward, the next 4 per cent being
taxed one-f1fth with a maximum levy
of third on profits over Is pei
cent of equity capital.
Now, it is clear from this that. In
spite of the extraordinary demand.
that the British budget must meet
and in spite Of the relatively more
favorable position of British industry
the new corporate profits tax Is much
more adjustable than the American
and those who pay it better safe.

Fr.Cunningham
 Tells of l9 Inch Cucumber Grew

Rev. E. J. Cunningham Of Pill grim Hot Springs saw story in a recent Nome Daily Nugget tell ing of B inch cucumber grown by Mir. and Mrs. Wm. Arthurs, former Nomeites, in Fairbanks, which had been received by A. Polet via plane.
 He enclosed a picture of some large size cucumbers grown at Holy Cross on the Yukon River, among which was the daddy of them all-2912 inches long.
 Following is a letter which he addressed to Mir. Polet telling of these mammoth developments in the far North:
 Our Lady of Lourdes Mission,
 
 Pilgrim Hot Springs, Alaska.
 July 27th, 1897. A. Polet, Nome, Alaska.
 Dear MT. Polet:
 Saw the enclosed account in the Nome Daily Nugget and thought you would be pleased to know that cucumbers were my specially when I was in charge of the Mission of Holy Cross, on the Yukon. So large were the cu- cumbers grown at this mission, that a muslin sling had to be us- ed to hold the cucumber to the vine. Cucumbers B inches long were commonly grown-but the mammoth-the daddy of them all was the 2912 inch cucumber pic tured in the post card enclosed. No one would believe me when I tell them l grew 29 inch cucumbers, so I had to have pict- orial evidence. The little girl in the center is holding the 29A- inch cucumber in her hands. If these cucumbers were converted into pickles, one could begin suck ing it on Monday morning and still have some eft by the follow ing Saturday night. MT. Heinz would find these cucumbers a "58' variety.
 My mother showed picture of these cucumbers to neighbor Tn the East, and the neighbor in as- tonishment said ''Why, l declare, they even have boloneys in AL aska"! When my mother correct ed her and said Those are not boloneys-they are cucumbers" the neighbor woman promptly tainted. Best wishes for the seas- on.
 Respectfully yours,
 Rev. E. J. Cunningham.

hands of dealers are assessed as
merchandise at SO 1-3 per cent.
Dealers must pay the tax on their

AS the treasurer must levy the

If the 1888 levy is less than the
1887 levy, the vehicle owner may
apply for a refund.
