TAXES COLLECTED BY U. 5. IN ALASKA
 REACH NEW HIGH

l Taxes collected by Uncle Sam in the Territory of Alaska jumped by more than $3OO0,OO0 in fiscal ls48 over the previous year, according to figures released to the Alaska De- velopment Board by the Collector of Internal Revenue for the Wash ington and Alaska district at Ta- coma.
 In the year ending June 30 1948, total internal revenue collections in Alaska were $l8,885, ,O47.52. These compare with total of Sl5,827,- = 370.49 in 1947.
 Income tax totals reported for the Territory of Alaska include only those paid by corporations and individuals within Alaska. They do not include the very substantial payments by outside corporations or individuals who conduct all or part of their activities in the Ter ritory. Most of Alaska's salmon cannelies. for instance, would fall in this category and thus would not be included in the figures given.
 The large increase in Alaska col lections came despite tax rate re ductions during the year and are evidence of increasing activity and prosperity in the Territory, the AL aska Development Board believes. Increases were noted in|all classes of collections including corporation. individual, withholding and other. The largest increase, however was in the withholding tax waich went up by almost $2,0oo.o00 over the previous fiscal year.

 The Board also pointed out in its resolution on the subject that new transportation routes, such as steamship line serving Alaska directly from California ports and Portland, a barge line having as it's terminus Tacoma, and airlines from Everett, Spokane, and Great Falls, now make it possible for goods to be transported to Alaska without passing through Seattle.

On Tipping

 Recognition by the Federation of Railway Progress of the services of Pullman porter to the travehne mblic outside the range and realm of tip brings to tho fore the entire question of tpping-how much when should we ever tip and the effect that tipping has upon the good public servant the general puoc and the economy of the country as whole

 Some airports post signs that tipping IS not re- ouired but the failure to reward the baggage poi'e at La Guardia Field reported to bring increasngy hard stares. The average man IS s1ll saie III w Automat but few other places
 Now that the railroads of the Middle west arc moving to the elimination of tipping Ill theii uiiie cars and since the arlners have never allowed Una. e;, o take root aboard ship it might not be too lar ahead of the procession of time to ask TOT the tion of tipping in all Pullman cars dining cars, anu for counter service restaurants and rallroao anu so., oofoteras and even restaurants It would seem ,bat inc organized workers would be willing to end the rn;no evil in return for better wages which they are now receiving for food handling in many pusinesS operations. s ,,,rteers however and the line is about ready to form ior workers and unions to rise up on ther legs anu ue nounce the entire tipping structure With iouo aio ,r voices Do we hear sound, or is it just dream

 While Juneau. Ketchikan and other communities famed for the dampness of their skies suffer from "ard" weather the rainfall in the Interior has been far above normal and headed for new all time record breaking the mark which has stood for Al years.
 Records of the United States Weather Bureau show that Fairbanks has had 1859 inches of rain thus far in 948 or almost twice the 718 inches which is normal for the same period.
 The city needs to produce only slightly more than the normal amount of moisture for the remainder Of the year to equal 1907 record of 1873 inches.

UPSET APPLECART

CIO chiefs have inside word that the recent indictment of the l2 Communist Party leaders has thrown a monkey wrench into left ists' plans to set up national labor organization of their own.
 The secret scheme was to pull certain Communist-controlled un- ions out of the CIO as the nucleus for a new outfit. Among these un- ions. are the Electrical Workers, the Office and Professional Work CTS. the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers and the, Tobacco and Ag- ricultural Workers.
 The planned "walkout' was in line with Communist tactics in other countries, where separate la bor organizations are being set up.
 But apparently, the conspiracy indictments raised hob with the scheme in the U. s. The Con- munists were going to stage their labor coup soon after Henry Wal lace's convention. But for the time being, at least, they have pulled in their horns.
 Privately, CIO leaders are disap- pointed. They want the Commun- ists to get out. It would clean house at one fell swoop and save
