 Many fishermen were at Aux Bay yesterday trolling along the shore and many fish are reported caught, but every fisherman there claims to be among the group that failed to hook one and does not know the names of those who did.
 The herring are thick in the Bay and the king salmon are well fed and getting rather particular about the bait they take. It is predicted that the kings will start running at Lena Point within a few days oldtimers say that the kings migrate to the Point several days after startin gto run in the Bay.
 No kings are reported at Marmion Island yet, but yesterday 20-inch dolly was caught off the Wanderer and a king was seen landed in a small boat off Point Bishop.

INDEPENDENCE, Kas., April 28. District Judge J. w. Holdren was breezing along on the road from Coffeyville and passed a man walking and carrying gasoline can.
 Father silly for a man to run out of gas when he has gauge right in front of him, eh?" said the judge to his passenger.
 A mile farther on the judge s car fizzled and died. Out of gas.
 He started walking to filling station but a fellow in another car drove up and offered to push the judges stalled one.
 At the station the judge thanked the friendly driver and told him about the remark he had made when he had seen the fellow walking with the gas can.
 "Yeh," said the friendly fellow T was the man who looked 50 silly to you"

LOUISVILLE, Ky-. April 28. = Here's what can happen when sta tistically minded gents get to dop- ing the Kentucky Derby:
 Figuring on the basis that this years winner will run the mile and a quarter in 2:05 minutes (none too fast) and will collect $60.000 for his effort, a few enlightening angles are revealed-and possibly for the first time, too.
 The champ will win $480 every second. (That almost matches Joe Louis in moneymaking.)
 The $60,O00, if laid end to end around the Derby route, would re- quire 12941 currency bills with a value of $4.62 each.

Introducing a column for fish ermen, em bryo fishermen and would-be fishermen, whether they catch them with flies, eggs, spin ners, grappling hooks or dynamite The idea is to let the world and Juneau know just where, how, what and how many the boys are get ting on the hook
 The first flying fishermen of the season flew into Lake Florence with pilot t-fisherman Dean Goodwin late Saturday night and returned Sum- day morning with fine mess of cutthroats running from 12 to 9 inches. Norm Banfield, Ray Stew ems, Dr. c. c. Carter and Rod Darnell were on the trip and were the first this year to prove the trout are striking. They claim they were taking eggs and Colorado spinners at the rate of one a min- ute. They brought back their lim- it's of both fish and fish tales on which there is no bounty.
 Sheep Creek has been fairly good for the past week with many brook trout and lots of fingerlings. The creek is easily accessible up to the ice, and the fish are taking eggs. It will really be good in about a month.
 Local airways has had plane fishing trip reservations booked since last December with the lat est one running up to July 4. There is one standing order for Juneau fisherman who will go on any trip at any time.
 Forty brooks were brought in from the upper reaches of Nugget Creek few days ago. Jack Pitts returned from Windfall Lake with a report of many fingerlines but no trout on the hook. Montana Creek is so far barren of trout, however IT, and 14-inch cut throat catches are reported below the bridge. Dean Goodwin, Juneau flier, does not care what kind of fish he catches as long as he catches them. Juneau school boys have been consistently bring ing in catches of B. to 10-inch cut threats and dollys from Jordan Creek for the past few weeks; the water is low at the present, time, and no large catches have been reported.

WASHINGTON. July 26 CUPl-
| The house ways and means COM
mittee today reported the $3.529,-
100000 tax bill and said that while
it is the largest in history there
is convincing evidence that this
burden will be borne cheerfully."
The revenue which would be rails
ed by the bill, added to present
taxes which in fiscal 194l yielded
| 81 GOT 900 900, will enable the gov
ernment to meet about 60 per cent
of the nations all-out defense eX-
penditures from income, and raise
the remaining 40 per cent by bor-
rowing. the committee estimated.
The income tax features of the
bill-relating to corporations and
dividuals-become effective as of
Jan. l. l94l. the first tax payments
on which are due next March Is.
The excise taxes will take eject
10 days after enactment of the bill,
The huge tax program will assess
poymentS of nearly S2500000.000
on the earnings of individuals and
corporations, and affect nearly every
citizen through stiff levieS on hun
dredS of goods and services, rang
ing from yachts to cigarettes.
The bill would provide funds for
both ordinary and defense eXpend-
itures from the following sources:
Individual incomes, Sl,152,000,00O.
Corporation incomes, S1322 ,90O,-
900. Estates and gifts, Sl5l 900, 600.
Excises, 1902, 100000.
Individual incomes levies on mar
ried couples are to be computed on
the Joint earnings of husband and
wife in a move designed to provide
an additional $500 100000 in reve-
nues. New surtaxes on individual
incomes range from five per cent
on the first taxable dollar to rs
per cent on earnings over 100000,
Corporation earnings, largest
single source of government reve-
nues. are subjected to a 10 per
cent rise in excess profits taxes
for each bracket and will range
from 35 to 60 per cent.
Excess profits levies will be COM
puted before payment of normal
income taxes Corporations also will
be required to pay surtaxes of five
per cent on their first $4,000
earnings, six per cent thereafter.
The bill retains present normal
tax rates of four per cent on per-
sonal incomes and "a per cent on
corporation earnings. A special de-
fense levy of 10 per cent OF the
normal tax, imposed last year, is
made permanent.
