SLICK TACTICS

Here is how a Chicago Tribune
reporter sprung the news leak that
the OPA would not lift the ban, on
eastern pleasure driving, though de-
creasing the mileage ration OF the
middle west.
Ex-Congressman McKeough, OPA
regional administrator in Chicago,
had announced that he had received
the new gas rationing instructions
from Washington, but that no pub
lie announcement would be made
for several days.
Whereupon a Chicago Tribune re-
porter telephoned the OPA's mail
distribution room in Chicago and
represented himself as someone in
the OPA rationing department.
My copy of the new rationing
instructions is poorly mimeograph-
ed" he told one of the stenog-
raphers. 1T must be a third or
fourth run. l. don't want to bother
Mr.. McKeough about it, so would
you please read me your copy"
So the obliging young lady read
to the Chicago Tribune reporter the
new and highly confidential gasoline
rationing rules just received from
Washington.

Governor Nicely fished round in
his pockets but could find nothing.
In West Virginia almost everyone
knows him. He doesn't have to be
identified. Finally, Walter Bill
Hart, editor of the Morgantowni
w. Va, Dominion-News, who ac-
companied him, displayed his press
card. 1t was signed by Matthew
Nicely, Governor of West Virginia
This was sufficient to get Hart
into the White House. So, since
Neely's signature was good, but not
his face, Hart went inside, leaving
the Governor standing at the gate
White House receptionist Walter
Simmons, hearing Harris story
came to Governor Neely's aid, and
the President later made up fol
lost time.

his first political campaign, had
voted the United Mine Workers for
him almost to a man. He had re-
ceived from Roosevelt in return the
famous section Ia of the MIRA, CIV
ing workers the absolute right OF
collective bargaining. He had Sc
cured Roosevelt's blessing for the
Guffey Coal Act, for the National
Labor Relations Board and dozen
other benefits for labor.
So a lot of people could not be-
lieve, until John L. Lewis actually
went on the air, that he would de-
sert his old friend Roosevelt.
However, Lewis even risked being
deserted by his union-as its mem
beers did desert him-on election day
by coming out for Willkie.
Now John L. Lewis is about to
execute another switch. Talking TO
a prominent newspaperman the
other day, he proclaimed himself
vigorously against his old friend
Willkie.
Governor Tom Dewey OF New
York, he indicated, was the man the
Republicans should nominate for
President.

RECORD TO, BE PROUD OF

Alaskan labor unions have played big part in
war bond purchases AND they may be counted on to
participate in larger scale in the current Third
War Loan Drive.
President Frank Marshall of the Alaska Territorial
Federation of Labor reports that in the past locals
where possible have purchased bonds from their treas
uries for the individual locals but plans are being
formulated to organize committees from both the
local unions and the central labor councils to CO.
ordinate these efforts.
Credit should be given to the unions that have
made large or small purchases from the first oppor-
tunity The Hotel and Restaurant Employees, Local
No 878 of Anchorage only organized in February
of l940 but by the Fourth of July of that year had
purchased $4,000 in War Bonds for their local In
addition this local received Certificate of Award on
November o. 1912 in recognition of the fact that 80
percent of its employees was participating in the
purchase of War Bonds through Payroll Savings.
The Bartenders Local. Painters and Decorators
Union and the Carpenters Local Union OF Anchorage
also made purchases of War Bonds with every avail
able dollar from the first. Kodaks local unions,

Where Income Taxes Fall
New York Timesl


In the charts that it made public few days ago
the Treasury Department authority for the state
ent that seven Lights of United States income goes
to people earning less than $4,000 This means that
only one-eighth of United States income goes to per-
sons earning more than $4,000.
These figures interesting in connection with
the figures for taxation The latest period for which
income tax statistics have been compiled is for the
calendar year 194l The Treasury's preliminary re-
port for 194l shows that the total income tax on
individuals was s3SO7 0Oo of which sl23 900
was paid by those with net incomes of less than
$4,000 each and s2571 900 by those with incomes
of $4,000 and over.
Putting these two figures together We lind that,
roughly speaking in 1941 people with one-eighth of
the income of the country paid more than two-thirds
of the whole tax, and that people with seven
eighths of the income of the country paid less than
one third of the income tax
Incomes have increased since 194l and the income
tax has been substantially revised But the foregoing
figures none the less to indicate the past op-
sidedness of our income tax and why we have done
so little through it to avert initiation. Granting that
the weather. individuals should pay higher per-
centage of their income in taxes than individuals
less well off it is clear that have been squeezing
close to the maximum possible revenues out of one
eighth of the country's income and that future
increased revenues will have to come in major part
from the other seveneighths OF the countrys income

most Alaska unions have taken pride in competition
with and between locals The largest purchaser known
at this time for Kodiak is the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters and Joiners of America, Local No 2l62,
which has invested a total of $1,000 in War Bonds
to date.
No records of War Bond purchases are available at
present for several unions throughout Alaska but it
is known that local unions affiliated with the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor in Cordova, Fairbanks Sew
ard Stka, Ketchikan and Dutch Harbor are making
every effort to buy bonds consistently. The Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Local Union of Juneau
has been steady purchaser and the Local Union OF
Carpenters in Juneau made single purchase of $4,-
600 in June of 1943 an excellent showing for small
organization.
However upon the basis of the vast amount of
money represented by payrolls is through the many
local unions Alaska the above is small percent
age. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are being
expended by the War Department in the Territory
and the money, in greater part, is being spent in
Alaska Until the workers who are recipients of this
money do their shart of War Bond purchasing, the
unions cannot make the showing for which they
are striving.

WAITING AT THE GATE

Governor Matt Nicely OF West
Virginia had been familiar figure
around the White House for 80
years. Nevertheless, the other day
he was kept under suspicion at the
White House gates for Is minutes.
The Governor first served in Con-
gress in 1911. He was one of the
original Roosevelt Senators, and has
been one of the Presidents close
friends and staunch supporters. So
when he arrived at the White
House gates the other day, he said
I'm Matt Nicely. I have an en-
gagement to see the President"
Sorry, but you'll, have to show
your identification papers, replied
the guard.

to lift the pleasure driving ban;
had made complete plans to do so
when Ickes said he would have to
be allowed time to bring in extra
gasoline from the midwest.
He pointed out-and it is an in
escapable fact--that gas reserves in
the East are low, and he would
have to build those reserves up if
there was to be a new drain on
them from pleasure driving. There
fore, he demanded at least two
weeks to haul in the gas which the
midwest will not use, as result of
its curtailment.

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9

THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER .
Benefic aspects rule strongly to-
day which should be extraordinar-
lily fortunate for soldiers and await
ors. Women are under promising
rule of the stars
HEART AND HOME: From
morning until midnight women
should be lucky on this date. Girls
should find it most favorable to
romance. Many a deferred wedding
will take place under this confi5-
uration. 1t is an suspicious day
for signing leases or contracts.
There is a good sign for beginnings
of every sort, especially for women
who undertake novel task or
start out in new vocation. Nurses
should seek transfers or promotions
under this configuration. This
should be day of inspiration,
bringing many a good hope and
happy plan.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Despite
protests, restrictive legislation at
fecting persons in industry will be-
come a factor in business. Unrest
and discomfort among workers will
be prevalent even where there is
apparent submission to wartime
wages and regulations. For the
people as a whole the sense of pros
perity will stimulate buying, and
retail shops will profit. The tax
DOGGY will be omnipresent, but the
public will become Injured to diff
ficulties connected with large con-
tributions for war needs and will
make the best of whatever income
remains.
NATIONAL ISSEUS: Agriculture
will again focus attention as the
statistics of recent crops encour-
age greater benefits for farmers
Special care of the soil is enjoined
by those who read the stars. Sci
ence must aid in efforts to increase
production next year when there
will be even greater demands upon
the nation for food Victory will
bring added problems and respon-
sibilties to the United Nations and
especially to our Government. Even
now our generosity should be tenn
pered by wisdom, the seers declare.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Jup-
tier in the ascendant at Chungking
gives promise of continued progress
toward China's success in fighting
the japanese. According to recent
predictions Toxic and other cities
of Japan will be completely de-
stroyed and the emperor will dis
appear mysteriously. Before. the
war in Asia ends, however, there
may be long conflict marked by
many difficulties for United Ma
lions. The most barbaric methods
of fighting and dealing with prison.
ers will be introduced when the
Asiatic foe is desperate.
Persons whose birthdate it is have
the augury of year of unusual
success. Men in the armed SER
