Gillam Cites Tax Code
Says Taxes Excessive
Byron C. G illam. Republican
candiate for Delegate to Con
gress, in a speech over Alaska
Radio and Television stations,
Thursday, attacked the high Fed
eral ^axes paid by Alaskans and
stated home building in Alaska has
been hampered by the Internal
Revenue Code.
Gillam posed the question,
“Would you belive that to build a
small four-room home in Alaska
you must pay ten times the Feder
al Income Tax as paid by a United
States home owner?” He illustrat
ed his remarks by pointing out
that in order to build a four
room house of 576 square feet in
the United States, the cost would
be $7.00 a sq. ft. Federal taxes on
this would amount to $1,178. A
similar house in Alaska would
cost $28 a square foot, with Feder
al taxes amounting to $12,290. He
further stated to own an average
six-room home, the Alaskan must
pay twenty times the Federal Tax
of the United States taxpayer.
Gillam further pointed out that
an Alaskan would have to earn al
most a million dollars in one year
to pay his taxes and own a a,000
square, foot store that the United
States citizen can have for $32,000.
The candidate is the proprietor
of a large grocery store in Fair
banks that covers 5000 square feet
of space. He said he had worked
12 hours a day for many years and
has paid total costs of over
$200,000 in Federal Income Taxes
and accounting fees. “I filed for
the position of Delegate to Con
gress because I felt that you are
entitled to face and vote on the
number one economic and political
issue of Alaska today, the inequit
able application of Federal Income
Taxes on the graduated scale as

-**“ HOLIDAY COUPE
Mere's why the engine that
started the high-compression era
still, tops the -field today !
THE ROCKET BROUGHT high-compression
performance to motoring ... set the stand
ards . . . broke the records.
Today it’s the same. With a high in com
pression of 9.25 to 1 and a displacement of
324 cubic inches, the Rocket packs a
potent new wallop.
THERE’S AN EFFORTLESS SMOOTHNESS
that tells you this one is a masterpiece of
balance and precision. What's more this
power plant's big-bore, short-stroke design
means shorter piston travel for less friction,
less wear and longer life.
You’ll rarely use the full 230f horsepower
under the hood. But. you’ll go for the
Rocket’s high torque—the force that makes
the wheels go ’round. Even at medium
speeds, your toe can call a hefty 340 pound
feet of torque into play—to move von
away from a light or pass by anv emer
geney. Add Jetaway Hydra-Matic* and
you meet Rocket action at its smoothest.
VISIT OUR SHOWROOM TODAY! We invite
vou to "Rate the Rocket’’ on the road. You'll
get out of the ordinary . . . into an Olds!
