An industrial incentive act ad
j opted by Puerto Rico in 1948 has
i done wonders in attracting invest
ment capital to that island terri
i tory. Shoe factories, clothing fac
! tories and a lot of other industrial
! plants have been built there.
Before 1948, Puerto Rico had her
agricultural resources and a vast
! supply of cheap labor. While these
were perhaps something of an at-y
| traction to new industrial develop
! ment, their attractions did not off
j set the territory’s tax program.
Development began as soon as
; taxes were modified to favor new
j industry, and development has j
j continued at a rapid pace.
' Alaska doesn’t have Puerto Ri- ]
I co’s supply of cheap labor, but it j
does have a variety of raw ma-1
! terials and a vast potential of]
I cheap power. In spite of these,
i however, industrial development in
| Alaska has lagged ar.d even dwin
| led during the past two or three
I decades.
The Alaska legislature and seg
ments -of Congress that arc hon-j
estly interested in the develop
ment of Alaska might well study
the Puerto Rico Act.
That Act says, in its statement
of motives: “It is an unavoidable
duty of our Government to pro
mote the industrial development
of the country in order to raise
the standard of living of the people
of Puerto Rico and to give a
sound foundation to its economy.
“In order to insure the most
effective development of the neces
sary industrialization, so as to lay
a solid foundation for Puerto Rican
economy, it is necessary to give to
all new industries as well as to
some of the industries already es
tablished and which have a po
tentiality for expansion because
they have not yet reached their
full development, the greatest pos
sible encouragement by granting
them tax exemptions subject to
i the fulfillment of certain condi
tions.”
Specific exemptions are given to
42 industries, including assembly
plants, canned products and many
other food products, motion pic
tures, furniture, footwear, paper
products, tin containers, toys,
glassware and dozens of others. In
addition, other new industries may
also be granted exemptions if they
turn out products on a commer
cial scale that have not previous
ly been produced in the territory.
With the exemption, a new in
dustry gets the following guaran
tee, written into the Act:
"In order that the encourage
ment tendered by this Act in the
form of tax exemption for the pro
motion of the industrial develop
ment df Puerto Rico may be an
incentive, having a real and un
mistakably sure basis, the Legisla
Part of her time, with her young
dares that it considers all tax
exemptions granted under the pro
visions of this Act as being in the
nature of a contract or agreement
between the Government of Puer
to Rico and the industry receiving j
the benefit of the exemption, and
that it proposes not to adopt any
legislation which may impair or
limit such exemption or which may
defeat the purposes of this Act.”
An exempt industry is given a
100-percent exemption from prop
erty taxes, income taxes, license
fees and municipal taxes until
June 30, 1959; a 75-percent exemp
tion for r.n additional year; 50
percent exemption for another
year, and 25-perccnt exemption
until June 30, 1962.
The present tax rate on corpor
ations or partnerships not exempt
from taxes on Puerto Rico amounts
to 20 to 40 percent, so the pro
gram offers a real incentive.
Distributions of dividends or pro
fits are also exempt to residents
of Puerto Rico, and the income
oi a corporation organized under
the Puerto Rican Exemption Law
is not subject to United States in
come tax.
Furthermore, goods manufactur
ed in Puerto Rico by an exempt
corporation may be shipped into
the States without being subject
either to duty or to other Ameri
can taxes.
A new Ickes story — or one new
to us — is recited by the editor cf
Federalsburg (Maryland) Times,
who visited Alaska this summer.
Says the Times:
"At McKinley Park we asked
why there wasn’t a cozy fireplace
in the hotel. We were told that
several rangers spent some weeks
building a stone fireplace there,
but when Harold Ickes was Secre
tary of the Interior he visited the
hotel, saw the fireplace and re
marked that he didn't approve,
i The fireplace was covered before
he left. After all, Alaska is whol
ly at the mercy of the Department
of the Interior."

Senator Denounces
Army Comic Book
As 'Socialistic'
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 — T
Senator Cape hart iR-Ind' today
denounced as "socialistic propa
j ganda" a comic book circulated by
the Army among GI.
Capehart told a reporter he
plans to make a Senate speech
this week challenging the colored
cartoon book, entitled "Sad Sack.'
The book is intended to encourage
soldiers to re-enlist.
"Thi • alleged comic book," Cape
hart said, “looks to me like social
istic propaganda, aimed at dis
crediting American industry. It re
lates the experiences ot a soldier
discontented with army life who
gets out and finds civilian life
even worse., He finally draws hi:
paycheck — five cents after nil the
deductions have been made and
the nickel turns out to be a coun
terfeit one, so he goes bpek to the
army."
Capehart said he understands
the army spent $17,544 to purchase
500,000 copies of the book.
The army had no comment on
Capehart’s statements, although it
said the book was given world
wide distribution to army post;.
