PROGRAM tOPrOvide
Work Relief For
Alaska Fishermen

FAIRBANKS, up = Territorial
Labor Commissioner Henry Ben
son and Alaska Delegate E. l..
Bartlett Wednesday proposed a
conference be held in Juneau
Oct to work out program of
work relief for the territory's fish
ermen.
In a joint statement, Benson
and Bartlett called on the federal
government and the territory to
provide aid to fishermen and their
families who "face actual hard
ships during the coming winter
months unless the government
moves quickly and affirmatively."
Meanwhile, Gov. Frank Heint-
zleman said he may ask that spe-
cial trapping seasons be opened up
to help out. He said that some
southeastern Alaskans face posi-
BILE economic distress because of
the poor salmon fishing this sum-
mer.
The 1858 Alaska salmon pack was
the poorest in more than 80 years
and the season has been described
as disastrous.
''It is our very strong conviction
that the government has a duty in
the circumstances" Benson and
Bartlett said eve believe that
since the federal government has
maintained control of our fishery,
which has almost reached a total
point Of collapse under federal
management, that it is obviously
up to the federal government to
assist our people in this crisis"

Labor Day Visitors

Labor Day in Nome was quiet
and other than having Front
Street partly filled with A visi-
tors from Anchorage, southwark
to the Lone Star State Of Texas.
Arctic Alaska Travel Service Of
Anchorage arranged special
charter flight with Alaska Airlines
out Of Anchorage for Nome with
an overnight stop in Kotzebue.
The one and only reason for
Nome not being the overnight
stop for special flights was lack
of sufficient hotel facilities here
for large groups. This fact should
now be recognized by all business
firms and individuals so that
plans to enlarge the hotels of
Nome can be activated.

Police Report On
Drinking Drivers
Continued from first page)

being studied by the committee,
State Police and Delaware Liquor
Commission officials with an idea
of undertaking program TO cut
down the number of drinking
drivers.
A conference is expected to be
held soon by police officials and
State Liquor Commission inspec-
tors relative to this plan.
Colonel Shew explained, how
ever, that the 10 per cent figure
of under 21-years of age drinking
drivers does not necessarily mean
that they all got their liquor in
licensed places.
1t was pointed out that quite
often young drinking drivers re-
Elected the habits of their parents +;
also some youngsters get older in
dividuals to buy liquor for them.
However, the greater percentage
of the drinking drivers involved
in accidents from January LIST to
October 31st, this year, were be-
tween the mature age from 25 to
"A.
This large group accounted for
more than Sc per cent of the drink
ing drivers involved in accidents.
In the age group from 25 to 81
years, police reports indicate SO
per cent involved drinking drivers
in accidents and 1856 per cent was
from 25 to A years Of age.
The other age categOries oil
drinking drivers who got mixed W
in accidents were:
As to 54-11 per cent; So to Ga
20 per cent; 65-74-1 per cent.
During those first 10 months Of
the year, $40 drinking drivers were
involved in accidents, ranging il
age from under 16 to "A.
or that number, only about 4;
were women drivers.
Here are more statistics abou
drinking drivers:
OF every 80 accidents resultin&
in personal injuries, at least on,
accident involved drinking drivers
Of every So accidents resultins
in property damage, at least one
accident involved drinking drivers
AlsO-21 per cent Of all the acct
dents in Delaware during the frs
10 months of the year involved one
or more drinking drivers.

commercial vegetables were valued
at more than 1,000,0O000O each.
The crop values were Obtained
by multiplying the estimated 1853
production by the estimated aver
age prices received by farmers
during the year.
The actual cash income 10 farm
erS was well below this value of
production for such crops as corn
and other grains fed or to be fed to
livestock on the farms.
The Federal Crop Reporting
Board reported that this years
harvest, despite wides prea d
drought, just about equalled that
of 1852, the second largest in his
tory.
The bumper yields were attribu-
ted to record and above average
harvests per acre.
This crop board said farmers re-
ceived an average of $1.45 a bushel
for corn this year compared with
$1.52 last year. 1t said this years
corn was valued at S4,6O5 ,423 900
compared with $4,988,544,O00 in
1852.
Lint cotton this year averaged
32.5 cents a pound compared with
3459 last year, and this years
crop was valued at S2,673.667 900
as against $2,617,644,OOO last year.
CottOnseed this year averaged
$3.50 a ton and was worth $751;
$4,000 compared with $69.6O and

This years wheat crop averaged
$2.01 a bushel, and was estimated
to be worth $2,348.S52, 900 cOmpar-
ed with $209 a bushel and S2,714.-
100000 last year.
The 1853 hay crop was estimated
at $2,318.367, 900 based on an aver

Gain out Of 2
Tax Changes

the "break-even" point-where the
two changes almost offset each
Other-is as follows:
For a single man with no de-
pendents, about 5000 annual in
come.
For a married couple with no
dependents, $500.
For a married couple with one
dependents, $1,000
For a married couple with two
dependents, $4,000.
For a married couple with three
dependents, $4,000.
In most cases, taxpayers making
below these amounts will take a
loss in take-hOme pay if they are
subject to the social security tax.
15,OO0,00O Filed Returns
Revenue figures show that al
most fifteen million persons filed
returns in 1850 under those break
even" points. But many OF these
may not be paying social security
taxes, which cover only about 70
per cent of the working force
For example, there were $780,
600 single persons filing returns
showing income under $1,000.
The income tax cut follows two
increases voted after the Korean
war started. Legally, it merely
cancels the second increase, i'm
posed in 1851. So taxpayers still
will be paying more than they did
in 1949.
The payroll Withholding rate
will be reduced from 20 per cent
to Is per cent of income, after
allowing exemptions for the tax
payer and each dependent.
From a percentage viewpoint, all
persons whose incomes are too low
to pay income taxes, but who are
subject to the social security tax,
will take a SO per cent increase i'll
their tax bill.
For single person with no de-
pendents, the net result of both
changes is an increase of 16 per
cent in the tax bill at $500 income
Then it shifts to a per cent net
decline in the tax bill at 81 600 in
come, a rs per cent tax cut al
$4,000 income, 81 cut at $4,000
and back down to a As per cent
cut at 100000.
For a married couple with two
dependents, there is a rs per cent
tax increase at $4,000 income, q
2.6 per cent tax decline at $4,000
and ST. per cent cut at $4,000
and rs per cent cut at 100000
These are net income figures. be-
fore taking out for exemptions
and assuming nOn-business deduc.
