JAPANESE BATTLE
FOR RAW COTTON
Textile Firms and Retailers
Spurred by Ban on
Domestic Use.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, June 29.-Wild excitement
prevailed In textile markets today as
manufacturers agents fought franti-
cally to buy the last shreds of raw
cotton with the publication Of q gov
ernment decree ordering factories to
quit producing long list of cotton
cloth and iron products for domestic
use.
Giving Japan's economic thumb
screws another twist as a result of
the Chinese war, the decree was de-
signed in part to promote export
trade, particularly Of cotton textiles,
without increasing raw cotton imports.
Present Stocks Held Adequate.
Pleading with the people to remain
calm, the government assured them
that present stocks Of raw cotton
would be sufficient to last this year
Thereafter staple fiber and synthetic
products will be used instead.
Exporters were jubilant, since the
order will provide their machines with
more raw material, but retailers were
thrown into a near panic.
Scenes resembling a frenzied bar
gain counter sale developed as re-
tailers battled to acquire every avail
able scrap Of finished cloth.
Promulgated by Seihin Ikeda, the
minister of commerce, with the slogan,
Toward victory with all resources and
Efforts the decree listed At types
OF articles which will be banned from
production after July /, and an
nounced "a additional types of goods
would be banned July IS.

Omissions Explained.
In their statement to Senator King,
the Commissioners pointed out that
the local program does not include,
because of time limitations imposed
by law, the following projects:
l. Any monumental building for
which plans and specifications are not
already we'll advanced.
2. Any building for which site is
not readily available.
3. Any building so complex as to
require many months for preparations
for plans.
4. Any building for which a site is
available, but where the clearing of
the site would eliminate housing for
activities that would have no other
place to 90.
The Municipal and Juvenile Court
and the Gallinger projects have been
at the P. w. A. for some months, an
original application for approval hav-
ing been filed under the old P. w. A.
Only tentative sketches of the projects
have been drawn so far and after final
Federal approval is given-assuming
that it is-the District must complete
the technical designs. obtain bids from
contractors and start work before the
turn of the new year.
A flood of architects and draughts-
men has been flowing into the Office
Of Municipal Architect Nathan c.
Wyeth. but he has now no funds for
the hire Of extra help. These would
come out of the prospective grants.
Many draughtsmen and architects who
have applied to the District for work,
1t Is reported. have since obtained as
signments with the Federal Govern.
ment on Federal projects.

the period four were initiated be- tween l920-1922, and continue to the present time; one, a tax or fur existed six years, 1922-l927: an ether the tax on alcoholic bever- ages, was not levied until 1933.
 As explained by the Note" in the legend, the graph shows the amounts as they were collected in each year. and not for the year for which they were earned. Thus the taxes paid on the canned salmon pack in 1937 were due for the 1856 pack, and, similarly. the taxes from mines and mining paid in 1887 were on the production in 1886 and at the 1886 tax rate.
 Although it is evident that the to- tai tax income shows a steady up- ward trend from 1918 to 1937, close examination of the individual strips will reveal that only 8 few taxes are responsible for this general in- crease. Comparing, for example. the year 1937 with 1927, it will be found

to one percent, leaving the exemp- tion unchanged.
 This was not altered until 1923, when the Sixth Legislature raised the exemption to $10000 and im- posed a rate of one percent on the net up to $500,000; $500,000 to $1,- 100000, one and one-half percent; above $1,000,000, one and three quarter percent.
 For twelve years this levy was not altered. In 1885, the Twelfth Legis- lature revised both rates and the graduation scale, imposing taxes ranging from three-quarters of one percent on net incomes above $5,000 to as high as four percent on net incomes in excess of $1 ,000,00 The result of this revision is reflected in the mining taxes paid in 1887 covering the 1886 production. The effect of the three percent gross pro- duction tax, enacted in 1887 by the T hirt te n t h Legislature, is not shown on this graph, as figures for the 1897 operations were not com plete when the graph was made; 1t is, however, shown in later graph. M 2.
 The school tax levy, while not con- stant as to percentages, varying in proportion to rises and falls in the total, has been generally consistent in amounts. It reached it's peak in both percentages, PIP and amount, $102,764, in 1920; its low in amount in 1933 $59024; it's low in percent age, 4,2, in 1885. Its annual average for the 20-year period is approxi- mately $35,000.

| boosted all varieties-teds to four and one-half cents, medium reds to two and one-half cents and two cents on all other species.
 The fourth session in 1919 pursued the same course, increasing each species one cent, raising reds to five and one-half cents, medium reds to three and one-half cents and all others to three cents per case. In 1921, the fifth session increased the rate on reds only, making it seven cents, and doubled the fish trap license fee to $20O.
 The Sixth Legislature in 1922 completely revised the salmon pack tax, inaugurating the graduated scale which has continued un- changed to the present time. It raised the base rate on reds to ten cents and on medium reds to four and one-half cents, leaving the three-cent rate on pinks and chums unchanged On reds five cents was added on packs in excess of 10000 to 25,0O0 cases; ten cents additional on packs above 25,000 to 10000 fif- teen cents additional, 10000 to 50,- 900; and twenty cents more on all above 50,000
 SurtaXes levied on medium red were two and one-half cents per case 25,0O0 to 10000; four cents, 4O,- 900 to 50,000; and six cents on all above 50,000.
 The same Legislature also im- posed surtax of $2 per thousand on all fish taken in a single trap in excess of 100000, which continues in effect to the present. (For details of the canned salmon industry see Graph P 5)
 Other tax revenues which have been subject to considerable changes during the past are the following: (a) Net income tax for canneries
 (white strip marked A varying
 from a maximum of $45,00O in
 1930 to a minimum of about
 $1,000 in 1917 and again in 1883 (b) Taxes from Salteries, oil and
 fertilizer plants, varying from
 S4,000 to $65. 900 in the earlier
 years, with minor variations
 since 1925. Another peak year

that practically only two taxes, namely, the mining and the salmon pack tax, show considerable in- creases, while the remaining differ ence in increase is due to the new liquor tax imposed in 1883 All the ether taxes show only slight gains, if any.
 T e pronounced configuration which characterize the graph is. of course, caused by the fluctuations in the basic strip, the salmon pack tax which is subject to considerable an- nual variations. These result from two major factors; first, varying an- nual volume both in species and in totals of all species, and second,
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-12-13

varying rates of taxation imposed by the Legislature from time to time.
 Prior to 1913, which is not shown on the graph, changes were made in tax rates by every Legislature. In 1913, the First Legislature fixed a tax of seven cents per case on red salmon and one-half cent on all other species.
 In 1915 the second Legislature re- viSed the taxes, reducing the levy on red salmon to four cents, putting a two-cent tax on medium reds and one cent per case on all others. It also put a license tax of $100 on fish traps

An increase Of 30 per cent in the
naval appropriation and Of so per

Army in next years budget was urged
today in a statement by Col. William
B. Rosevear, jr., president Of the
Reserve Oncers' Association.
Col. Rosevear said the Army today
Is far below the strength provided in
the. National Defense Act for our
minimum needs.
1T is not reasonable" he said, ito
withhold funds from the national de-
fense any longer. To do so may be
equivalent to national suicide. The
proposed Federal budget for next year
includes over 81 1,000, 900, 900 for relief,
largely arising from the wreckage of
the World War; another billion dol
lars is included for interest on the
Federal debt; another billion dollars
for public works, agriculture and the
c. c. c., mostly to correct the dislo-
cations resulting from the World
War, and q half billion dollars for
cripples. widows and orphans of war.
In other words, the citizens of the
United States must pay nearly $4,-
000,000,000 next year (no principal
payments included) largely because
We were not prepared in 1917 with a
