COLD STORAGE
 CAP PACITY NOW
 |SINCREASED
275,000 Cubic Feet Add ed, Hiking Space to
 4,000, 000Pounds

Increase of the cold storage space of the Juneau Cold Storage plant to approximately 100000 pounds is announced today by Wallis S. George, President and enera l Manager.
 The increase was accomplished by the addition of 275,00 cubic feet of refrigerated capacity. Coils in the upper floor of the new addi- ton, constructed last year, were completely installed following work last night.
 Today the temperatures in the two rooms comprising the upper floor are being brought down for the storage of frozen fish, which will be stored until shipment is made during coming winter months to Outside markets.
 In addition, plans are being worked out for two other storage rooms, which will be constructed on the dock this winter. These should be in use for next seasons operations.
 MT. George also announced that shareholders of the Juneau Cold Storage Company will receive a cash dividend of $4 per share on August 26. This will be declared on the capital stock of the cor poration and will be payable to all stockholders of record at the close of the company's business on August 21, 1887. This will be the second dividend since January.
 MT. George, who said business this year has been good, said: We are holding close to 100000 pounds more of frozen halibut in our plant than year ago, and if we get our normal run of salmon in our freezers, we are hoping to have our storage filled to capacity before the end of the season"

the decency of American morals is in
volved."
In his letter to the President, Sec
retary Morgenthau set forth eight of
the principal devices now being en-
ployed by taxpayers with large in
comes for the purpose of defeating the
income taxes which would normally be
payable by them" These devices are:
The device of setting up foreign
personal holding corporations in the
Bahamas, Panama, Newfoundland,
and other places where taxes are
low and corporation laws lax; the
device Of foreign insurance companies;
the device of incorporating yachts
and country estates; the device Of
the creation OF artificial deductions
for interest, losses, ETC.; the device
of the creation OF multiple trusts for
relatives and dependents; the device
of husband and wife or father and
children partnerships; the device of
pension trusts.
Secretary Morgenthau also lists
three major instances" in which
the law itself permits individuals
and corporations to avoid their
equitable share Of the tax burden.
These are: percentage depletion; the
division Of income between husband
and wife in eight community prop
erty States, and the taxation OF
nonresident aliens. which the Secre-
tary insists is too low under the pres
ent law.
There were indications today that

revamping the income tax law, with
higher rates for those of large in
comes and an extension of the tax
to many persons now exempt, would
be In q position to offer their pro-
posals as amendments to any bill
presented.
In his message, Mr. Roosevelt said
all three branches Of the Government
have a joint concern in the attack on
tax lodging. 1t is the duty of Con-
gress, he said, to remove new loop
holes devised by attorneys for clients
willing to take an unethical advantage
Of society and their own Government" :"
The duty of the executive branch Is
to collect taxes and to investigate all
questionable cases and to prosecute
where necessary. AS for the courts,
he said:
1T Is the duty of the courts to give
full consideration to the intent of the
Congress in passing tax laws and to
give full consideration to all evidence
which points to an objective of evasion
on the part of the taxpayer"
The President said that already
certain newspaper publishers are
seeking to make 1t appear-flrst, that
If an individual can devise unantici-
pated methods to avoid taxes which
the Congress intended him to pay,
he is doing nothing unpatriotic or un-

Bahamas during the past two

One American with q $4,000, 900 Ba-
hamas corporation has sought to pre-
vent the Internal Revenue Bureau
from catching up with him by flling
his individual tax returns in success
sive years from towns in New Bruns-
wick, British Columbia and Jamaica.
Morgenthau referred also to the case
Of retired American Army officer
with a large income from American
securities which he desires to sell at
a large profit. This oficer, Morgen-
thau said. became a naturalized Ca
madam citizen and six days later or
ganized four Bahamas corporations
to hold his securities.
While Morgenthau lists many kinds
and instances Of tax avoidance, he
leaves the impression that great
many additional cases will be turned
up before the Treasury Department
concludes its investigation of the 1886
tax returns. So far there has only
been quick check Of q comparatively
few individual returns. Most Of the
large corporation returns have not yet
been filed.
The ordinary salaried man and
small merchant does not resort To
these enumerated devices, Morgenthau
said, and he added: THE great bulk
Of our 5,50o,o00 returns are honestly
made"

ethical; and second, that because
certain individuals do not approve Of
high income tax brackets or the un-
distributed earnings tax, or the capi-
tai gains tax, the first duty Of Con-
gress should be the repeal or reduc-
tion OF those taxes. In other words,
not one but many red herrings are
in preparation"

Roosevelt, who charged some OF them
not only have advised clients to use
tax-avoidance devices, but also are
using devices themselves.
A reading of Secretary Morgenthau's
letter on tax evasion had aroused in
him feeling Of indignation, the Pres
ident said. He was confident, he added,
that it would have similar effect on
Congress.
"'Clever little schemes are not ad-
mirable," the President insisted, when
they undermine the functions of So
ciety."

setting up foreign personal holding
