LOWER TAXES A FACTOR

Current demands for wage increases are based mon alleged large increases in the cost of vng Ho" ever. in Alaska and specifically in Juneau we ial 10 see any proof of large increases n the cost ol hVhs
 Rents have remained the same Electric light bills are lower this year than last Food items nave IAeh at least an per cent drop in recent months and the not increase in food items over last year may be as low as ] per cent However. new freight tariffs VIII enable reduction on some basic food items
 on ton of all of this comes the decrease in the Federal income tax retroactive January and after une 30 the per cent Territorial sales tax goes out o existence.
 Relief for every taxpayer is seen in the tax re- ducton bill and largest reductions are seen in the 10" income brackets.
 Largest reductions percentagewise. are in the bracket below S3000 year In this bracket are more than 70 per cent of all present taxpayers some So- poo o0n of them Several millions will be reheVeo o all tsx payments, while the bulk O. them VIII liiiu neir taxes reduced by 50 to so per cent Reductions in this bracket will account for more thfn 4o per cei' ,f the governments loss of revenue'
 In the bracket of highly skille wc:6ers anu many others, with family incomes of s5ooo year, the tvuical reduction from tax $500 of about s435 year. But because of the peculiar working Of the provision for splitting incomes on the community property principles the tax reduction for married couples is greater in middle brackets than in the fairly low.
 Thus the savings of families from sl000o to S25,- s00 year larger percentagewise, than those oi families with somewhat lower incomes. This, of course applies only ill the 36 States not now pro- siding by for community property in the family
 Partly due to this community property provision and partly because of the increase of exemptions, the main benefits Of the passed by Congress fall to married men with families to support. In all in- one brackets the reduction of taxes is very much greater for married persons. This in fact, is the

SIZING UP TRUMAN

When historians chronicle the story Of Harry Truman, they will probably evaluate him as honest, sincere courageous, stubbornly right about such domestic policies as price control taxes, civil rights, labor and monopoly. But they will also accuse him of putting per- sonal loyalty ahead of national welfare They will find that his temper frequently proved his un- doing, that he was hotheaded, un- balanced in times of crisis, and so frequently flew off-the handle on vital decisions that the Ameri- cen people finally lest confidence.
 Bob Rannegan. in the days when he was still trying to alibi for Truman, used to say Sure he made a mistake, but he was man enough to come out and admit 1t"

to reverse cecision made by the Truman Administration and the United Nations on Palestine after weeks of careful debate.
 Even after three years of hold ing press conference. Harry Tru- man still does not realize that his words reverberete round the world. Last month, he called this column ist a liar. This affected only one man. But in the very same press conference he called his own Secretary of State a liar on Chi nese policy. This affected 400,- 100000 people
 He said that at no time had the United States considered talk ing Chinese Communists into the Chinese Government. Newsmen att tending the conference, realizing Trumans mistake, tried to save him. They asked questions calcu- lated to remind the President that he himself had sent a special Am bassador to Chine for the express purpose of getting the Chinese Communists to participate in the Kuomintang Government. But either the President couldn't remember or G.dn't want to re- member this once widely publiciz- ed lact.
 He himself, when General Mar shall was appointed Special Am { bassador to China, had announced that Marshall was undertaking the mission in order to bring the Com munists and Chiang Kai-shek into coalition government. And Mar shall on his return from China an- nounced to the world that he had failed because Of recalcitrance on both sides. These were irrefutable, public statements.
 Yet the President stubbornly stuck to his contrary statement, even when neWsmen diplomatical- ly gave him chance to crawl off the limb.

main feature of the bil if one Is looking for any new principle in the nations income tax policy.
 Reduction of taxes certainly is factor in de- creasng the cost of living The worker will have more take-home pay. The merchant should be able to reduce his charges in proportion to his tax reduc- tion
 On the other hand if one class of Juneau wage earners demands and receives wage increase all other workers will demand and get similar increases forcing up the cost of doing business and forcing up prices No new wealth is created Higher prices eat up wage increases. Those unfortunates with fixed retired persons etc-suffer most of all.

N.C.U!. Requests
Budget otal
OF $45,696,325

! RALEIGH, Nov 5-The Advis-
ory Budget Commission heard a re-
quest yesterday for 45,696,325 for
permanent improvements program
for the Greater University of North
Carolina.
The university requests, made by
Greater University President Frank
P. Graham, highlighted the second
day of public hearings by the COM
mission on budget proposals from
state institutions and agencies.
The various groups which ap-
peared yesterday asked a total of
SS5,876,511. This included $36,200,-
594 for operations from the general
funds, $45, 5,696,325 from the general
fund surplus for permanent i'm
provements, and $3,979,592 from
special funds for motor drivers lie
ense examinations.
/ Graham also asked that appro-
priations for operating the three
branches of the Greater University
and subsidiary agencies be set at
! $21,712,449 for the 1949-51 bien-
mum. This compares with $9,132,-
46O budseted for this purpose for
this biennium.
! Comptroller W. D. Carmichael of
the Greater University told the
commission that S1O,534,9 ,979 of the
proposed permanent improvements
budget is needed to complete struc-
lures authorized by the 1947 gen.
eral assembly. He declared that a
sharp rise in building costs has made
the 1947 appropriations w'oefully
inadequate.
| Of the new construction, $18,417,-
846 was proposed for the university
at Chapel Hill, $12,180,00O for N. C.
State College in Raleigh; $4,299,00O
for the Woman's College in Green's
boro; and $264,5O0 for the North
Carolina Agriculture Experiment
Station.
j Operating budgets roughly triple
those for this biennium were sought
for Carolina and State College.
Sizable increases were asked for
the Woman's College, the expert
ment station and the extension di-
vision.
Principal reasons for the bigger
requests were proposed salary in
creases, rising operating expenses
and proposed addition Of new en-
ployes.

Soldier Dies
 In Truck Crash

Winter weather claimed the first victim of the season last week, when a Ladd Field soldier was killed in an automobile ac- cident at Caribou Mountain. A second soldier was seriously in jured in the mishap, which was caused by icy roads.
 The soldiers were riding in an Army truck, one of a convoy en route from Ladd Field to Fort Richardson. The vehicle skidded from the road and careened 400 yards down the mountainside, throwing the men out of the truck.
 A CAA employe from nearby Sheep Mountain summoned the Army helicopter. Medical aid was administered at the scene of the accident and the men were then flown to 183rd General Hospital for further treatment. One man died en route to the hospital.
 The second injured man, who is suffering from severe face decorations and shock, has been flown Outside for further treat ment.

Doirymen File New Suit

Twenty-seven Valley dairymen again have brought suit against the Matanuska Valley Farmers Co-Operating Association to re- gain milk averages they charge is due them for the period be- tween Dec. l, 1945, and Nov. 30, 1946.
 The suit has been brought in the name of Frank McAllister, but varying sums are asked by the plaintiff farmers, who allege that milk was co-mingled during the stated period. The dairymen ask interest on the amount due and $3,OO0 in attorneys fees.
 Farmers involved in the suit and the amounts they seek are as follows:
 Frank McAllister, $2,695.50; Leonard and Owen MOffitt, S1,118.S9; John Cope, S1,94124; A. R. Moffitt, $1,154.11; Merle Anderson, S2,4S7.1O; Arvid Johnson, S2,59S.27; William Lentz, S1,264.62; Ernest Har- rington, SS68.65; A. A. Rempel, S752.65;

Bauer, S1SS.73; Frank Linn, S1,78S.16; Gust Scheibl, S1,165.09; Walter Huntley, S264.76.
 The dairymen filed similar suit almost two years ago, and last fall received a favorable de- cision. The MVFCA has filed an appeal which has not yet been heard. James Wilson, present Coop manager, said he consid- cred it unlikely that the appeal would be calendared for several months yet, and he estimated it would be at least eight or nine months before the present suit can come to court.
