per cent over 1961, Commerce

Gasoline sales tax collected in all
50 states totaled $3.7 billion.
Tobacco sales tax, imposed in
all but three states, brought in a
record high of $1 billion, up 7.4

CCH said individual income

Costly Moose Ear . . .
FAIRBANKS OP) — A moose ear
is apparently considerably more
expensive and a lot less lucky
than a rabbit’s foot.
It cost a young Fairbanks hunt
ter $700 to learn that lesson.
John Merrell, 22, was accused
by the state of killing a moose
out of season, shooting a cow
moose, having no hunting license,
and the unnecessary destruction of
meat of a big game animal.
Officials said Merrell shot the
moose on the Richardson High
way between Delta and Paxson.
He shot the cow 27 or 28 times
with a .22 caliber rifle and left the
animal lying by the roadside,
they charged.
Fish and Game authorities claim
ed he cut off one of the animals
ears as a trophy.
Merrell pleaded guilty this week
to the charges in District Magi
starte’s Court. He was fined $700.
