Cut AAF Staffs
Of Information
Offices in Alaska
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3—UP)—The
Air Force said yesterday that there
is a “drastic cut being made" in
public information offices at all
Air Force bases in Alaska as well
as elsewhere throughout the United
States.
The information was supplied to
the office of Delegate Bartlett (D
Alaska) in response to an inquiry
about Alaskan reports that public
information officers at the Elmen
dorf Air Force base in Alaska were
ordered transferred to new assign
ments effective Nov. 5.
The Air Force told Bartlett’s sec
retary that it is telegraphing Elmen
dorf to get detailed information on
the effect of the reduction there.
The Air Force spokesman indi
cated that the location and extent
of curtailments in public informa
tion officers is being left to local
commanding officers.
There was no indication of where
or when further curtailments might
be made.

'The Fighting
Kentuckian’ Is
Captors Bill
The historical background of Re
public’s “The Fighting Kentuckian,”
starring John Wayne, Vera Ral
ston, Philip Dorn and Oliver Hardy,
opening tomorrow at the Capitol
Theatre, proves that even over a
century ago the American pioneers
were international-minded!
The story deals with the settling
of four townships in Alabama by
340 French families, Napoleonic
exiles who in 1817 arrived at Mobile
on the ship MacDonough and made
their headquarters in a small com
munity named "White Bluff.” f
year later, with the community de
veloped into a thriving little village
by their labors they re-named it,
and it is significant that they gave
it not a French name, one that
would recall their own native land,
but an ancient Greek name, “De
tnopolis,” meaning "City of the
People."
No stranger colonists ever pene
trated a wilderness. None had ever
set foot in a plowed field until they
found themselves pioneering the
rugged interior of Alabama with
illiterate traders, squatters and
Indians for their neighbors.

Taxes, Taxes, Taxes! Alaska leads
all the slates of the nation in the
increase of tax payments to the
Federal Treasury for the fiscal
year ended last June 30, the Bureau
of Internal Revenue reports.
Alaska tax collections for the
year totaled $38,672,327.11, the bu
reau report says. This was more
than double the Alaska collections
for the previous year. On a capita
basis this comes to just over $300
apiece for the total population of
Alaska, civilian and military, and
close to $360 per capita on the
basis of civilian population alone.
The Territorial tax grab, if it has
not exactly kept pace with the in
crease in Uncle Sam's take, has
at least soared far upward, accord
ing to Tax Commissioner M. P.
Mullaney. The Commissioner an
nounced that Territorial tax collec
tions up until September 1 of this
year were 34 percent above collec
tions for the first eight months of
1950.
The Income Tax alone fetched
$3,412,326.27 into the Territorial cof
fers during the first eight months
of this year, Mr. Mullaney reported.
This was more than the income tax
brought in during the whole of
1950.
Total 1951 income tax collections
by the Territory may well double
those of 1950, which amounted to
$3,302,077.76. While it is true that
eight months is two-thirds of a
year, it is probable that income tax
collections to September represent
something less than two-thirds of
the year’s total. Tax withholdings
for a portion of the Territory’s
heaviest payroll period were not
turned in by that date.
And on top of that, the something
new that has been added to Federal I
income tax rates will automatically
inflate the Territory’s share of pay
checks during the last two months
of the year.
The Territorial Income Tax col
lections to September 1 amounted
to about $26.50 per capita if you
count the civilians plus all military
personnel in Alaska, and to around
$31.50 if you count civilian popula
tion only. The, per capita figures
will be increased by somewhere
between 50 and 100 percent when
the year’s final returns are count
ed.
Whether you use Alaska’s civilian
population or both civilian and mil
itary population in computing per
capita tax payments depends, of
course, on whether you are trying
to arrive at a true taxation picture
or an Alaska Development Board
figure on taxes. If it’s the latter
you’re after, grab the biggest popu
lation guess you can get hold of
It Is Estimated that the Territor
ial income tax will pull in some
where between $39.75 and $63 pel
capita for 1951.
When you add to that the pei
capita figures for amusement taxes
automobile license taxes, motor fuel
taxes, mining taxes, punchboard
taxes, taxes on alcoholic beverages,
inheritance taxes, taxes on raw fish
and all of the other fishery taxes,
it begins to look as though Senator
Butler’s estimate of a total Alaska
tax of $126 per capita for 1951 will
be, if anything, a little low.
It is a fairly safe bet, in other
words, that Alaskans will maintain
their unenviable position as the
most heavily taxed people of the
nation.
Many Communities in Alaska
have been working both sides of
the street as well as the middle in
their efforts to get themselves an
airfield. Fairbanks, on the other
hand, seems to be having an even
more troublesome time getting rid
of one of hers.
Cost-of-Living surveys in Alaska
have become too expensive for the
Bureau of Labor Statistics to con
tinue with its present budget, ac
cording to an announcement from
Washington.
Earlier this year the Bureau com
piled some statistics for the Anch
orage and Fairbanks areas. They
proved quite conclusively that it
costs more to live in those areas
than it does to live in the states.
Economists of the Alaska Depart
ment of Agriculture reported quite
recently, however, that food prices
in those same areas increased very
little during the five-month per
iod May to September of this year.
In Fairbanks, the Agriculture De
partment studies showed, the total
cost of 42 commonly purchased
food and household items actually
decreased slightly during the sum
mer. The same was also true of An
chorage. In Palmer, the report says,
prices of the 42 items increased
about 1.9 percent during the five
month span.
What’s The Use of a Federal
roadside demonstration facility” as
provided in Delegate Bartlett’s new
bill, when all private facilities must
be at least 300 feet from the high
way? The government could do
much more to promote the building
if tourist facilities along the high
ways if it would remove this absurd
reservation.
