TAXES AND INVESTMENT

Establishment of a s15000000 celluose plant near Prince Rupert just a hoot and hoer from Ketchkan is Sailed with great relish by the manager of the Alaska Development Board as an indication that the establishment of the pulp industry Southeast Alaska is not far off
 We wish we could feel optimistic as Mir Sund- borg The plant is being built by the Cellanese Cor portion of America American capital going into Can ada again It will mean the employment of 1000 Canadians who will be paid in American dollars
 Our Development Board manager claims that the advantage which British Columbia offers South east Alaska to such investors chiefly of more economical shipping costs" He goes to say: The new development timely illustration that taxation is not the controlling factor ill industrial location which it is sometimes represented to be. Taxes on the new industry in British Columbia will be many times as high as any which have been proposed in the Territory of Alaska"
 This statement, regarding taxation, leaves much unsaid on the subject We do net believe either that taxation is the controlling factor industrial location in every case Many times it can be, however
 As for the taxes which such operation would pay in British Columbia, against those in effect and proposed for Alaska, however MT Sundborg must produce further proof show that he is correct

reported to have helped arrange for their White House appointment
 Of late, the influence of this amazing individual is reported to be on the downgrade as far as the President is concerned. But it is not on the downgrade with Tru- mans Military Aide. Maragon is frequently seen riding in Vaughan s car and entertains the General in the swank Carlton Hotel apartment which is now Maragon's headquar- terS.
 It's a unique team-Vaughan and Maragon-and if a Congressional committee ever probed deeply enough, it might find some highly interesting things, all the way from Greece to the War Department in which this pair have had their hands.
 The Presidents Congressional friends only hope that if aid to Greece is really mportant-and it is-he will be ultra careful about the Greeks around him who may be seen bearing gifts

ncoma tax which such industry would have to pay in Alaska.
 The only other tax which would have to be paid in British Columbia is the incorporation tax the capital, which has to be paid only once, and which is the in Alaska.
 But Alaska proposes in addition Territorial net income tax and also license tax which is really a gross income tax of one-half of one per cent We also have sales tax, unemployment compensation tax, and others
 Furthermore, who tell what taxes would be imposed on pulp producers in Alaska? We have none far. But have pointed out before, potential investors look to treatment of large industries already located in Alaska a of determining what to expect. And what do we find? Our largest industry the canned salmon industry, pays taxes 5O0 per higher than it would pay British Columbia Alaskans be glad that the fish are in Alaskan water, or you would see this industry moving to British Columbia. And what about mining? In British Columbia, new mines are tax free for three years after beginning operations. In Alaska they have been faced with gross tax in spite of the fact that some had no net profits, such the Alaska Juneau and they face all of these other new taxes
 However, aside from taxes, we believe that the main reason American capital goes into Canada Is because of the advantage of cheap labor The average wage in the pulp industry in BritisN Columbia in 1945 45 cents hour. And it should also be remembered that cheap Canadian labor IS also the greatest factor in cheaper Canadian shipping, and high labor costs boost the shipping rates of the American companies serving Alaska.
 Other disadvantages which Alaska offers to such investors would include the unsettled aboriginal rights question: and the red tape involved in utilizing any Alaskan natural resource
 We do net as the Alaska Development Board, hail" the of $15000000 of American money in British Columbia "as more indication that the establishment of the pulp industry in Southeast Alaska is not far off On the contrary we must take the far less rosy that it is indication that the considered establishment of this industry in Alaska is all off and will be until Alaska overcome the disadvantages which it offers in comparison with greener investment pastures in British Columbia or elsewhere.

Eventually. Maragon went to work for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad where he was contact man with Congress and renewed his ac- quaintance with Harry Truman, then Senator from Missouri. Mar agon's job was to arrange funeral trains for deceased Congressman, and other special transportation. Salary $3,000,
 Came Truman's sudden elevation upward. Suddenly Maragon's in- come zoomed to S15,000, paid by perfume importer Dave Bennett.
 Maragon was now in big-time so- ciety. Bennetts yacht was placed at his disposal, and one party aboard it even included Truman himself. Another famous Maragon entertainment was perfume party" at which a group of Wash ngton socialites and wives of the Little Cabinet" waited at the air port for the arrival of a VIVA Con- stellation carrying consignment of perfume back from France. Bottles were passed out to the la dies present
 Secret Service operatives charged with guarding the President by this time had objected to Maragons constant presence around the White House, but it did no good He con- tinued to use his White House pass and his special parking place. Fur thermore he flabbergasted the ad- mirals by turning up with Truman on the Presidential destroyer dur ing the Navy Day fleet review in New York. He even sat next to the Presidents box with White House Military Aide Gen Harry Vaughan during the Army Navy game, and had influence to get a compart- ment for himself on the special train which carried the President to Philadelphia

POLICE RECORD

The most interesting thing about MT Maragon is how he happens to be tolerated around the White House in view of his record.
 It began hack ill Missouri as an agent for the FBI when William J. Burns was operating that agency. The narcotics racket at that time centered around LeavenWorth, Kans., and Maragon was taken on to help track down the racketeers. He was shortly dropped from the FBI, however. for unexplained req sons. and later drifted to Washing ton where he became a bad-debt collector and credit investigators for several banks.
 District of Columbia police re- cords show that he once pleaded guilty of transporting liquor Illegal ly f7-l7-20), was three times ar rested for disorderly conduct but never prosecuted, once as recently as last Nov 29, and got into a brawl in the locker room of the Washington Senators where some ol the ball players beat him up Most interesting part of the police file pertains to the death of police detective Arthur Scrivener, Oct l3 1926. one of Washington's most mysterious homicide cases.
 The Associated Press of that date carried the following story

train to Hyde Park, and shortly thereafter turned up in Potsdam along with Truman, Jimmie Byrnes, Churchill and Joe Stalin.
 How he got there has baffled many people Obviously he could not have made Potsdam without the blessing Of the President of the United States For transportation and housing was so tight that some members of the State Department and the Paulev Preparations Mis- sion were left bSnind in Paris.
 Maragon noC only got to Potsdam, however, but he came back with a pocketful of diamonds presum- ably bought on the black market. Since then he has taken two other junkets to Europe, one to France to buy up French perfumes and the other to his native Greece where he got himself made an off cer member Of the Allied mission for observing Greek elections In this capacity, however, he got into trouble and was suddenly yanAed home
