STAMP TAX ON LIQUOR DOUBLES UP

Throughout Alaska, on June ' retail liquor prices advanced slightly, for then the Territorial stamp tax rates on all intoxicat- ing liquors doubles in amount under the statute enacted by the last Territorial Legislature and approved by Gov. Ernest Gruen- ing on March '.
 The increased rates not only ap plies to merchandise received on and after June 2, but on all floor and warehouse stocks held in the Territory as of June 2, accord ing to a ruling made by Oscar c. Olson, Treasurer of Alaska.
 The current rate is 90 cents per gallon, or three and one-eighth cents per half pint or less; six and ona-quarter cents per pint; 10 cents per fifth; and 12 one half cents per quart.
 The new rates will be exactly double the old ones.
 Based upon receipts for 1939, when the Territory collected Sl28,G9 in stamp taxes, the rev. enue from that source for the next l2 months, with an increas- ing population, should be more than double that for 1889. It is estimated that receipts from lie enses and stamps during the next bienniunn should be approximate ly $9O0,O00.
 While the Legislature also amended the wholesale liquor li- cenSe tax law, changing it from fiat rate of $500 per year to a graduated scale based upon the volume of busness done, the new rates do not become effective un til June 27. However, it is under stood this will not affect the lic- enses issued prior to that date, which expire December 31, next. Any new wholesale licenses is- sued subsequent to June 27 will be subject to the provisions of the new law.

& = Being an actress, she was able to
make her point. 1t was clearly the climax, the
triumphant finale! Her tone was equally
compounded of reverent awe and triumph.
The odd part of it was that the object thus
proudly proclaimed was merely gentle,
fussy-looking, elderly spinster. In the eyes
of the two young people who had just, by
James good Offices, made her acquaintance,
there showed inuedulity and tinge of dis

Edward came to the rescue. "Jane tells US

Apathy Seen
Endangering
Arms Drive
IsOlationists Stir
Disloyalty, Says
Mrs. Whitehurst

A dangerous apathy. which she
has designated the sixth column.
is seriously weakening the nationa,
defense program, Mrs. John l.
Whitehurst, president of the Gen
eral Federation of Women's Clubs
declared yesterday after return
from a tour of seven of the north
western States.
The federation president, who de-
scribed her trip as fighting cru
SADIE to go after the isolationists. u
declared that members of the Amer
lea First Committee have uninten-
tionally created disloyalty toward
the Government and apathy toward
the defense program.
She believes, she said that Sena-
tor Wheeler and Charles A. Lind
bergh are honest in their convic-
tons. but are doing irreparable
damage by creating chaotic think
ing by their speeches"
Heard DiSloyal Remarks.
II have heard many remarks of
disloyalty toward our Government
and our leaders following radio
speeches by Senator Wheeler and
Mr.. Lindbergh," she continued. II
cannot think that they intended to
divert our people from their al
legiance to our form of govern
ment and our elected leader, but
they did"
Mrs. Whitehurst said she had re-
quested isolationist speakers to de-
lete statements from speeches that
might weaken the national defense
program, but her requests had been
received coldly.
Many whom she interviewed in
the seven States she visited ridi-
culed the idea of America being in
danger, she added.
They said we are so strong no
one would dare attack US" she ex-
planned. and resented the high
taxes as unnecessary"
Women Must Lead.
Women must take the lead in
strengthening the weak places in
national life which are undermining
and menacing strong national de-
fense. the federation president de-
clared. In matters of health and
recreation they should be particu-
larly active. she added.
Mrs. Whitehurst announced that
the board meeting of the general
federation will be held at the May
flower Hotel January 1926. Invi-
tations TO the meeting had already
been sent out, she said, when Fed
eral authorities requested groups to
refrain from holding meetings in

ions at this time. AS a concession !
TO the request, the original date of
the meeting was changed to a week
end; when hotels are less crowded, .
