Alaska Tax Collections Jump

Uncle Sam's collections from Alaska taxpayers increased near ly one-fourth during the last year.
 Exactly $4 944, 4,678.24 in all forms of internal revenue was collected in the Territory during the l943 fiscal year ending June 30th. That is five times the a. mount obtained in the fiscal year 1940.
 These figures were disclosed today by Clark Squire, collector of Internal Revenue for the dis trict of Washington and Alaska, with headquarters in Tacoma.
 They do not include Victory tax, which for the first three months amounted to $326,986.
 For the fiscal year 1922 total collections for Alaska were $4,- 0l5,534 93. The increase for 1943 was 1929, ,143.31, or 23.1 per cent. The increase for the entire country was TIA per cent, total collections having jumped from 13 billions to p billions through out the nation.
 For the state of Washington alone the increase was 127.4 per cent. The amount collected there advanced from 126 millions to 287 millions. The total for the district Washington and Alas ka) for the last fiscal year was $291, ,e70,44O 31.
 Principal reason why Alaska showed such a small percentage increase is that corporation in- come taxes dropped half a dollars from $730,859 to $227, ,312, ar a decrease of 6S g per cent. Washington, however, showed an increase of Al per cent, making a net increase of 3S.3 per cent for the district. Only one collection district showed a net oss-Pittsburgh district in Pennsylvania, for 7 SI per cent.
 Alaska's decrease n this kind of tax was due to the fact that some large corporations have ceased operating during the emergency and others have moved their offices Outside and arc filinp rotIlrDS elCowhnre

Casey Criticizes Police
For 'laxity' in Evidence

Municipal Court Judge Walter
j. Casey criticized police laxity in
obtaining evidence as he dismissed
a larceny charge today against Will
liam Leftwich, colored, resident Of
the Soldiers Home.
Judge Casey said the case was
just the type the Supreme Court
was referring to in the McNabb
decision when the justices spoke of
police sitting in the shade of the
apple tree instead Of getting out
in the sun and working to estab-
lish a case"
Leftwich was charged by police
with stealing SIS worth of clothing
on November 7. The defendant
testified that he had taken some
rags from an abandoned house and
sold them at junk shop for s1.20.
The jurist criticized police for
failing to go to the junk shop where
Leftwich said he sold the rags and
produce them as evidence. The
only evidence presented, the judge
said, was the mans alleged con-
fession to police.
