LICENSE UNNECESSARY CON'T.
I realize that the language of the statute
is exceedingly broad and could, under one
line of authorities, be readily interpreted
to be applicable to farmers. However, from
reading the Act and all of its terms and
studying the legislative background of the
same, I feel quite positive that it was
not the intent of the Legislature that this
Act should apply to farmers. A farmer is
primarily a tiller of the soil; he is a
producer in his own right; he is not a
businessman in the usual sense of the word.
In Federal statutes governing income tax
and bankruptcy acts a farmer is recognized
as a class separate and to himself. It is
my opinion that such a distinction should
also be applied in reference to the Alaska
Business License Act and that farmers
should not be subject to the tax under
Ch. U3, S.L.A. 19h9."
(s) J. Gerald Williams
Co-op officials and several individual
farmers questioned the interpretation of
the Act recently when an attempt was made
to sign up individual farmers under the
Act. The Co-op through its attorney asked
for a clarification.
Those individuals who have already paid
the tax may secure forms from Dorothy
Saxton to obtain a refund.
CHICKENS AND SHIRTS
Once upon a time there was a farmer who raised two chickens, took them to the cjty,
and sold them to a factory worker, and with the proceeds bought two shirts. So the
farmer had two shirts and the city man had two chickens.
Observing the transaction, the "cradle-to-grave" security planner told the farmer he
could get more money for his chickens by making them scarcer. He also told the work
ing man in the factory that he must work fewer hours and get more money for his labor.
This would raise the price on articles he made so he would have more money with which
to buy.
So the farmer brought one chicken to the city market, He got as much for it as he
formerly got for two chickens. He felt fine. This was the life. But when he went
to buy some shirts, he found that the shirts had also doubled in price, so he got
one shirt. • *
Now the farmer has one shirt and the city man has one chicken, whereas if they had
not listened to the pseudo-economist(but"had” both produced as well as they know how)
they could each have had twice as much.—Future Magazine._
