be. as the joker.

FOUR-YEAR GAIN SHOWN
IN FEDERAL INCOME
TAX COLLECTIONS
For the fourth successive year,
federal income tax collections in
Alaska have shown a substantial
increase over the year preceding,
tin* Alaska Development Board
announced this week in releasing
figures on internal revenue col
lections in the fiscal year which
ended last June 30.
Income taxes, individual and
corporation, collected in the Ter
ritory in the latest fiscal year
totaled $41,006.57!). the Board
was advised by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue. This compares
with $36,894,861 in fiscal 1951
$15,798,215 in 1950 and $13 680 -
143 in 1949.
Since there was no significant
change in tax rates last year, the
increase was interpreted as a re
flection of growing activity and
population throughout Alaska.
