Talk of Interest Rates as Being too High
Held Unreolistic With Chonuino Times

which takes So per cent of
all income from corporations
and businesses. Indeed, the
likelihood is that not in many
years to come, if ever, will
the corporation tax get be-
low so per cent.
The truth is that, if there
is a 81 billion surplus in the
Federal budget next year for
tax-reduction purposes, this
sum will be almost entirely
absorbed by a cut in the
taxes for the benefit of the
lower-income groups. Cor
porationS can expect little,
if any, relief.
The sooner it comes to be
realized generally that the
American economy is going
to operate indefinitely on a
corporate tax rate in the
neighborhood Of so per cent,
the quicker will borrowers
and lenders adjust them
selves to a new level of in
tereSt rates. Inevitably such
rates must go somewhat
higher than they are today.
Thus. an interest rate of 6
per cent for Government
bonds would probably be re-
garded by many people to-
day as fantastic or alarming.
Yet it would truly be a real
istic rate for the Govern
ment to pay. because. on &C
count of the tax deductions
involved, such a rate for the
corporate investor would
give him only 2.88 per cent
income in interest anyway.
Many of the banks have
been somewhat reluctant to
defend what is popularity
called higher" interest rates.
Lately some of them have be-
come outspoken as they have
told some plain truths. The
Guaranty Trust Company of
New York, in the July issue
of its review of business and
economic conditions, said:
Actually, the present level
Of interest rates is quite
moderate for a time of active
business. Rates on CONNER
cial paper. for example, av-
erage about 4 per cent, as
compared with 6 per cent in

Food Prices up
lin Alaska
During Past Year

Since March, 1856, Alaska re-
/ tail food prices increased from
| 2 to 5 percent in all cities sur
veyed, except Kodiak and Sitka,
according to the Alaska Agricul-
tural Experiment Station quar-
terly report on A1aska's food
prices, March, 1857.
The March retail food prices in
Alaska were about the same as
| in December, 1856, the report
shows. A slight increase in Ket-
chikan, Juneau and Fairbanks
may be due to variance in re-
porting procedures rather than
a change in the level Of prices, it
was stated.
To collect the necessary data
for the quarterly reports on AL
aska's food prices a volunteer
enumeration collects prices from
three to six retail merchants in
each Alaskan city shown in the
table. The collection occurs sim
ultaneously in each city during
the first three days of the week
containing the 18th day of the
month surveyed. Prices from each
city are averaged to obtain the
prices quoted A total of 40 food
items are priced in Alaskan cit
les. The prices of 25 of these are
compared with prices for the
same items in Seattle as report
ed by the Bureau Of Labor Stats
tics the previous month.
The report. prepared by Fl. P.
Gazaway and Cathrine l.. Hud-
son, economists, show that State
side consumers are spending $421
annually per capita for food. Bas-
ed on this average and costs for
each city in relation to Seattle,
the cost per person amounts to
$514 for Ketchikan; $518 for Sit
ka; 1926 for Juneau; 1855 for Ko-
diak; $3.50 for Anchorage, 1854
for Palmer and Sb33 tor FAR
banks. This means, the econom-
lists pointed out, typical Alas
kan family of four can anticipate
spending from $2,056 to $2,612
annually for food, depending up
on locality.
The report shows retail prices
of 25 comparable food items in
Alaskan cities and Seattle dur
ing the first quarter this year
cost $1,000 in Seattle. The same
market basket" cost $14-99 in |
Anchorage and $14.32 in Palmer.
Other cities are lower than Pal
rr1er, except Fairbanks which has
high of $16.52.

The 27-game winner twisted
his elbow making a hurried
throw to second base during
pickof practice yesterday and 10
minutes later abruptly left the
mound because, he said. the arm
was bothering MIN.
HE will have to rest and take

of telling how long he will be
out. Well have to wait and see
how much it tightens up. II

Newcombe. named the most
valuable player in the National
League last year, said he wasn't

Il felt a twinge and quit" he
commented. Certainly it's MOTH
ing like it was last September"
He was referring to an injury
to his arm at the end of the sc
season. Subsequently he was
knocked out of the box in two
starts against the Yankees in the
World Series.
Only yesterday, Newcombe said

evening Post that when he
started the final series game
against the Yanks my arm was
% sore I could hardly lift it,"
The Yankees shelled the big
highlander in the fourth inning
to win the game. 90. The defeat
stirred new reports that New

Newcombe said he debated
whether he should ask out Of the

But If / asked out of this ball

would really say I was scared.
They said it in 1855, after l lost
the opening game of that series
to the Yankees and wasn't used
again"
Newcombe said that in the
seventh game last fall his arm
ached so much he threw only
three curves to the IS hitters he
faced.
