Alaska:
Wants Statehood

AS a territory Alaska always gets
the short end of things, complains
Robert Atwood, publisher of the An
chorage Daily Times. Big fishing
and mining industries are opposing
the Alaskan peoples desire for
statehood, he says, because as a
territory industries escape heavy
federal taxes. The people, however,
always vote preponderately in favor
of becoming state.
Alaska receives very little federal
aid, Atwood continues. For in
stance, the huge area has only $500
miles of roads in $4,000 square
miles In the last two years Alaska
would have been granted $2,141, 900
in road funds if it had been state,
but it actually got very little. 1t has
a land grant college, but no money
to operate it.

CAMPAIGN COSTS:
Move to Lift Lid

A bill to repeal the federal cor
rupt practices act of 1925 and the
Hatch political activities act of 1889.
and to replace them with single
new act, has been introduced by
Senator Ellander. He was chairman
Of the 1916 campaign investigating
committee. Republican members of
the committee, Senators Bridges
and Hickenlooper, have joined
Democratic colleagues in support of
the bill.
Ellander told the senate that the
present statutes are utterly made
quate and unrealistic, and do not
begin to accomplish the purposes
for which they were enacted"
The present three million dollar
limitation on campaign expendi-
lures in any calendar year by ma
tional political committees creates
"racketeers' paradise" Ellander
continued, because state and local
committees can be used to evade
the laws.

TORNADOES:
Path of Destruction

Devastating tornadoes cut wide
swath through midwestern and east
ern states, leaving wide path of
destruction in their wake.
Striking in a thickly populated
rural area south of Fairmont, N. c.,
a high-riding twister killed at least
one person, left an estimated 300
homeless and caused severe dam
age to tobacco crops.
The death toll from a tornado
which leveled the communities OF
Bright Water and Garfield in north
west Arkansas was placed at nine.
The business section of Bright Wa
ter, population 100, was virtually
destroyed.
Most destructive of the twisters
was one which tore through small
towns in Missouri and Iowa, causing
10 casualties in the small town of
Worth, Mo. More than so others
were injured and property damage
was estimated in the thousands OF
dollars. The same tornado dashed on
across into Iowa, striking at Clio.
where extensive property damage
resulted but no loss of life was re-
ported.
Narrowly averting the heavily
populated city of Dallas, Tex,
tornado smashed briefly to earth on
the city's eastern outskirts, then
bounced skyward and disappeared
In it's wake, two persons were dead
and four were injured. Two other
Texas twisters caused some prop
erty damage. s...

CANADA:
Trims Income Taxes

Personal income taxes of Cana
dams will be reduced about 20 per
cent for the 1947-48 tax year. The
lower levy has been made possible
by pairing the federal budget to two
billion dollars. Many Canadians
were disappointed, however, to
hear that no change in luxury and
sales taxes was contemplated.
The new tax schedule ranges
from 10 per cent in the lowest
brackets, to 80 per cent for persons
earning above $250,OOO a year.

File Homestead
Exemptions Now,
Candolfo Advises

County Tax Assessor Claude A.
Gandolfo today warned house
holders that they have only un-
til April to file applications for
homestead exemptions at his Of
flee in County Court House.
There were only 1920 home
stead exemptions issued up to
today. Gandolfo expects there
may be as many as 1900 this
year.
Under the state law covering
homestead exemptions the tax
payers are exempt from the pay
ment of the normal tax of 1912
mills, or $3.50 per $1,000, or
$3.50 on $1,000 of assessed valua-
ton.
This represents a substantial
savings to those who take ad-
vantage until April l of the op-
portunity of filing for homestead
exemptions" Gandolfo said.
