the Territory can be appraised more intelligently, and the effect of changes in tax legislation and tax rates can conveniently be studied Graph A. g. is, therefore, a neces- sary supplement to it's predecessor, A. A.
 A thorough analysis of these rela- tive tax values would involve not only carefully consideration of all legislative changes in taxation, but also of the annual variations in pro- duction, e.g., fisheries and mining. While such a complete analysis IS not attempted here, few illustra- tions may suffice to show the use fulness of the graph for the pur- poses of a more exhaustive study of the Territorys taxation problem to be undertaken in the future.
 l. Comparison of tax values in 1915
 with those in 1887.
 Tax revenues in 1918 came from only six major sources, compared  with the twelve tax sources in 1887. In both years, however, taxes de- rived from the fishing industry amounted to slightly more than 60 percent of the total, although this total has increased four and one half fold during the twenty-year period.
 The relative income from mining has been cut in half, as has the rev. enue from fish traps. Taxes from business and professions in 1887 carry only one-fourth the weight they had in 1918. In contrast to these percentual decreases, the taxes from salteries, oil and fertilizer plants, show a relative increase from 0.9 percent to 32 percent, indicat- ing a considerable increase in pro duction as well as in actual tax in-

RELATIVE ANNUAL VALUE OF
 TAX REVENUES

The history of Territorial taxation has been analysed further by con- putting for each year the exact per- centage of each type of taxes col lected
 In general, Graph A. 5 shows the relative annual values of the same taxes for which Graph A. 4. (TaX Receipts 1918-193D shows the ac- tual values. Each tax column adds up to 100 percent, and the actual total tax revenue of each year ap- pears in italics at the right hand side of each column.
 ;. The value of the graph lies, how ever, not only in the percentual dis tribution of taxes within each year. The graph also affords convenient comparison of these relative tax values for any number or groups of years desired In following a cer- tain type of tax through the years, its weight within the tax system of
The Daily Alaska empire., 1938-12-14

age chart, such as this, is that It affords a steady and an accurate measure by which the weight oi every tax source can be determined and, also the extent to which each industry and occupation is meeting it's responsibilities to the Territory Tn plain words, by applying it to each alike,. and in it's relation to all of the others, one should arrive at an answer to the veXing question Are the Territory's taxes equitably distributed among all classes of tax payers whose income is derived from exploitation of it's natural re- sources?"
 To illustrate, in 1918 taxes on canned salmon, including the l per- cent net income levy, furnished 45.6 percent. of the total revenue. In 1887 the same source supplied 45.4 percent of the total which. however. was four and one-half times as large as in 1913 The min- ing industry in 1913 was the source of 32.3 percent of the total and of 16.2 percent in 1887
 Thus. while liIe salmon packing industry held it's same relative po- sition in the percentage column, de- spite the largely augmented total, the mining induStry's percentage of the total was only about one-half of it's weight at the beginning of the period. The 3 percent gross mining tax had not been enacted at this time.
 In tn is manner, the relative weight of any two sources or be- tween all of them, may be deter mined for any year or any number of years.
 It should be observed, however, that a decrease in percentage does not necessarily imply a decrease in the actual amount of taxes paid As the total of all taxes mounts, it is easily possible that a loss in per- centage might occur although the taxpayer actually paid larger sums.
 Some thought is suggested as to the causes of decline in the busi- ness, occupation and professional tax revenues, loss not only in per centages but in amount paid It is true this is relatively an unimpor- tant item, yet it is not easy to under- stand why the amount paid in 1887 was but slightly more than 50 per- cent of what it was in 1923, and had about one-sixth of the percentage weight
 Tn contrast to this sorry showing is the automobile license tax. The
