TAX FIGURES SHOW
 ALA5KA'5 ECONOMY 'iS FAIRLY STABLE.

Against a national background o1 production and employment cut
 backs during the past year, Alaska $ i economy has remained fairly stable
 This is indicated by tax collec- l ton figures for fiscal 1949 re- ceived by the Alaska Development , Board from the Bureau of Internal Revenue. sa The decrease in federal individual,
 corporation and profits tax col lections in Alaska was 31 percent below the 1948 level The national decrease was percent.
 Individual income taxes collected in Alaska amounted to $14,206,-
 4834O, a 4.8 percent drop under the previous years collections of $14, ,928,8 ,83362 Percentagewise, the decrease was greater in AS states. Corporation income and profits taxes collected in Alaska totalled
 $1 ,473 ,655!05, an 18.2 percent in-
 crease over the $l,247031.16 col- lected during fiscal l948
 In total internal revenue colec-
 tions, including employment taxes, carriers taxes and all other mis- ccllaneous taxes, Alaskans con- tributed 8,226,201.68, compared
 with $l8,991. .145.13 for the previous year, a decrease. of 3.5 percenti only two points above the national aver age
 Actually, the Alaska Development Board pointed out, the above fig ures do not represent the true Alaska tax collections as several states, principally Washington, were credited with federal tax payments of numerous corporations and in- dividuals reporting from those states although the activities taxed were mainly or exclusively the re- suit of Alaska production.

BARTLETT TO SPEAK
 TO SOROpTIMISTS
 ON NEXT FRIDAY

Describing her speech as a pre- Jude" to the speech Delegate E. l.. Bartlett is expected to give at the Soroptimist luncheon next Friday, Mrs. Mildred R. Hermann, Secre- tary of the Alaska Statehood Con- mittee, held the attention of her fellow clu. members at noon today as she explained the act under which the Statehood Committee was created She also outlined the program of work set up by it at it's organizational meeting here last week.
 Mrs. Hermann paid high tribute to the work done by the Political Science Glass at the University of Alaska, which recently issued a de- tailed plan of state government as part of a class project it had car ried out during the past few weeks. The plan. which was printed in full in a recent issue of the Farthest North Collegian, was an excellent piece of work, she said, and indi- cates a desire on the part of both students and professors to tackle practical worthwhile Alaska prob lems.
 Interesting comment on the re- gently launched "Soroptogram,' a news bulletin issued by local lSoroptimists to it's members, was read by Laura McMillen. She is the editor of the Soroptogram, which apparently is attracting much in- terest among sister clubs through out the country.
 The following visitors were ir.- troduced: Miss Clara Robison, Mrs. Zola Devlin, Mrs. Fred Dunn, Mrs. Frances Wells, and Mrs. Dick Peter.
 Counting on Delegate Bartlett to be present in person next week, Scroptimists will assemble large group of memc CTS and visitors to hear him discuss the statehood bill of which he is the author, and tell of it's history in the House of Representative.
