The New Income Tax Law
(Fairbank News Miner)

Alaska's first Territorial income tax has become law
 Dating back to January 1, Territorial inhabitants Alaska business firms subject to levy equal to 10 per cent of the amount of income tax they pay the Federal government
 Non- Alaska workers and business firms are made subject to the same levy on that portion of their incomes directly attributable to Territorial operations This applies in such instances as the wages of shpboard workers and cannery employees who will have taxes withheld on earning while Ill the Ierrl- tory.
 Employers are to be required to pay quarterly but individual returns to be filed annually at the same time as the Federal returns. Collection from individuals will be via the withholding method as in the case of the Federal taxes on incomes
 In definitions and procedues, the Territorial law follows closely that of the Federal government This should eliminate much of the confusion ana paper work incident to collection and reduce to minimum the number of employees who will have to be added to the payroll (and the cost of the Territorial gov ernrnent) to make the tax effective
 Alaskans will also find that the new Territorial lew will cause some changes in the computation or their taxes payable to the Federal government sums maid in income the Territory in any year are deductable as an expense item from the income or the same year in figuring the Federal tax The result will be a lowering of the Federal tax bill to some extent for both businesses and individuals
 The law is designed to yield estimated s2- 900 in new revenue for support of the Ierrtorla government Its passage was one Of three points III Governor Gruening's fiscal program
 Other forms of new revised taxation, sought py the Cruening administration include uniform pusi- ness tax system and a general property tax lhese bocoed down in the special session and are now que for a showdown in the regular session
 In passage of the income tax bill the House per . r,ted language to remain in it which, according to the admission of one of the chambers own ieaueis was not intended This, and several other hoIaoe omissions in the handling of leglslatlon oy 'e .roeed the carelessness with which the chamber was beinp directed in performances of its dutes It aiso threw the Senate into wrange which was settieo oy an unsatisfactory 8-8 tie vote
 In their future activities, it IS to be hoped that both chambers will exercise statesmanlike caution and forethought thereby demonstrating diligence law makers comparable to the enthusiasm with which the Democratic leaders are seeking ways to raise money from Alaska taxpayers.
 Dispatches from Juneau tell that the Governor hailed passage of the income in glowing terms.
 IT e question is whether Alaska taxpayers will hail the manner of the spending of the added funds by his administration warmly.

The White House is wondering if the stun ming Senate defeat of the reSolu- ton eXempting inaugural tickets from taxation may be a hamburger of things to come on such issues as taxation, civil rights and health insurance. The House passed the inaugural-ticket exemption by a two-thirds majority, but Senate Democrats couldn't even muster a simple majority, losing AT to 45. Four Democrats were absent and five (Byrd, Va; Chapman, Ky; Johnson, Colo; Mcclellan, Ark. j; and Russel, Ga.) voted with the Republicans.

ELECTRICITY FAMINE

President Truman was talking to Senator Magnuson and Representa- tive Hugh Mitchell of Washington about a proposed deal with Canada for water storage in British Col umkia, from which the Pacific Northwest could draw hydroelec- tric power. The Northwest power shortage, they told the President, was due chiefly to the big alum mum plants built there during the war.
 Well, that's your fault" said Truman, eyeing Magnuson.
 How do you mean?" inquired the dashing young bachelor Sen ator
 T mean that you wouldn't rest until you got those aluminium plants established in your state" chuckled Truman, obviously re- membering his Senate days when Magnuson had been lobbying to To- cate war industries in the North west. What do you want us to do-take them away from you?"
 "Oh. no" replied the amused Magnuson. The situation isn't that critical"
 Congressman Mitchell commend ed Truman for recognizing the needs" of the Northwest by ap- proving plans for Columbia Riv- CT Authority, which will expand and coordinate electric power, flood control and reclamation facilities in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Nevada and Utah
 T can't honestly take credit for that" deprecated Truman. The problem we face in the Northwest wouldn't exist if the proper plan ming had been done in the first place."

sia. Most of the resolution simply repeated the U.S.-UN. demands that the Dutch release political prisoners and retreat to their ori- gSnal lines.
 Then the senators added one more clause. They proposed that if Holland did not comply with U.S.-UN. demands, all Marshall Plan aid be cut off to both the Dutch East Indies and Holland. The United States has already cut off ECA aid to the Dutch East Indies but not to Holland.
 When the State Department heard about this, however, Acting Secretary of State Lovett slipped over to the White House and sound ed the alarm The White House then phoned Senate Secretary Les Biffle, who in turn called Senate majority leader Scott Lucas of Ill., inois, plus Senators Pepper of Flor ida and Johnson of Colorado.
 The resolution, the Senators were told, would be most embarrassing They were asked to kill it.

ARE SENATOR'S PUPPETS?

No explanation was given as to why the State Department was op- posed, since the resolution was al- most identical with the position already taken by the State Depart ment at Lake Success. Neverthe- less, the Senators were asked to desist. Senator Pepper, who has just become a member of the Sen ate Foreign Relations Committee, and who is on intimate terms with the President. asked that his name be withdrawn. Most others stuck by their guns
 Remarked Senator Chavez of New Mexico: What do they ex- pect US to do-just appropriate money for 'em?"
 T can't recall" observed Ed Johnson of Colorado. that the Senate has abdicated it's right to ratify treaties and play it's consti- tutional part in foreign policy

HOW DUTCH FINANCE WAR

A significant conversation has been taking place in Europe. The Dutch have told Field Marshal Montgomery that they cant afford to assume their proportionate re- sponsibility under the Defense Pact because of the heavy cost of mili- tary operations in Indonesia.
 Indonesian operations for one year cost the Dutch S436,000,00 During that same year, the Dutch received $476, 100000 of Marshall Plan money from us. In other words, the USA really is paying for the war in Indonesia, yet the
