FINE PRECEDENT
 SET BY LIONS AT
 DOUGLAS PICNIC

Excuse the Juneau Lions if they got a little confused. Seems their irformal gathering at Salmon Creek last year was not official.
 The 195O outing Saturday at Douglas Community Beach, there fore, becomes the first annual Lions picnic-and what a precedent was set!
 Chairman Carl Rusher had counted on 100 persons, but, with ideal picnic weather turing mem bers, he had to rush in reinforce ments.
 He and Homer (Ham) Hamilton served the crowd in relays, most families bringing substantial pic nic dinners and augmenting them with hot dogs, coffee and ice cream. They gathered in informal groups around the picnic tables, parents having some difficulty getting their broods together, such were the diversions.
 The pony Mrs. Sherwood took must have been exhausted, as for hour after hour, lines of children waited to ride. Some of the young sters went swimming, and the adults had a one-base ball game going far into the night.
 The Douglas Beach is a Lion- sponsored project and now shows the results of the clubs many work parties.
 Reporting at today's club meeting Lion Larry Wilcox said l6 trash cans have been installed.
 Lions expressed special appreci- ation to the Douglas Trucking Com pany, which hauled away a num- Der of loads of debris, and to the Juneau Plumbing and Heating Company, which donated the metal fixtures for teeter- -totterS.
 And President Val Poor said, "Ole Ingbright of Douglas isn't Lion unless sort of an honorary one-but he gave untiring assistance to our committees"

NEW CORPORATION TAX APPROVED TO
 OFFSET EXCISE CUT

WASHINGTON, June 19 - R = The House Ways and Means Con- mittee voted today to put $433,- 100000 a year additional taxes on corporations.
 The increase is aimed to win Presidential approval for it's bill cutting wartime excise taxes by more than O00OO0,O00. President Truman favors cut in the excise levieS-on such things as furs, telephone bills, jewelry and other items--but has made plain he would veto a bill which did not provide rises elsewhere to make up a big part of the cut.
 Here is the corporate tax system voted by the committee:
 l. A flat 21 percent normal tax on all corporate earnings.
 2. A flat 20 percent surtax rate on all corporate earnings in excess of s25,O00.
 This would mean 21 percent rate on the first S25,O0O of income and a fl percent rate on all earnings above S25000.
 The new corporate tax schedule would actually reduce taxes for many smaller corporations earning between S5,000 and sl67,000 a year.
 It would increase the rates on cor porations earning more than $751; 00O
 The present corporate rates are: first S5,00O-21 percent; next S15,00O -23 percent; next s5,00O-25 per- cent: income between $25,O0O and s50,OOO-53 percent; and all income over $50 000-38 percent.
 Under the committee bill, the new rates would be effective on corporate income beginning with the taxable year after Dec. 3l, l949.
