FURS
AMERICAN FURS GAIN
MANY MILLIONS IN VALUE
Price* Higher for All Furs
Since Russian furs have been almost barred from our
country, the advance in prices this coming season will mean
many millions of dollars to the trapper, who is entitled to
the biggest share, and the entire fur industry.
Muskrat showed the first advance of fully 50%, Mink
even gained over the high prices of last year and all other
short-haired furs are sure to follow! Even White Fox, Red
Fox, and Lynx, unsalable the past few years, are gaining in
value and our sales in the last month on American Fox and
Coyote run into tens of thousands of skins at Higher Prices.
We look for an even better demand with resultant
higher prices this coming season. Don’t sell your furs at
give-away prices. We ll be pleased to keep you posted on
the latest market trends and our free market reports will be
air mailed. You will find shipping tags enclosed if you want
to ship us your fur catch. We remit by air mail, by check,
money order, or wire money to your bank the day your furs
arrive. No more waiting around weeks for your money.

YOU’RE
IN BUSINESS . m And It's a Good Business Soundly Managed
We're talking about the business of the Territory of Alaska, an enterprise in which you hold important stock.
On October 10th you are going to elect for this business a Board of Directors, representing you, who will make de
cisions on matters of vital concern to all the people of Alaska.
This is a business report, presented to help you make a wise choice of candidates. A report of the Territorial
Treasurer shows that in the 15-month period from the beginning of the present biennium through June 30, 1950,
results have been as follows: i
Receipts * - ■ ■ $17,160 030.43
Disbursements - - - 15,643,574.75
Not a bad showing, is it? The report shows further that the Territory on June 30 had cash in the bank total
ing $3,668,062.05. i
This is the "bankruptcy" about which the Republican smear artists have been shouting. The Republicans want
to scuttle the basic tax program enacted by the Democratiic 1949 Legislature and go back to chaos. Oh yes, they
1 have a neVTwrinkle too, a gross sales tax on everything you buy. In fact, the slush fund for the Republican smear
campaign comes in large part from absentee interests which would benefit from such a "reform." From their stand
point it's a good investment. _
From yours, it's poisom^^^" "
This chart shows how the
basic tax system, EN
ACTED by a DEMOCAT
IC LEGISLATURE, has
operated in the 15
months up to
J u n e 30. The
percentage fig
ures indicatethe
relative importance
of each tax source dur
ing this biennium. It’s
easy to see who pays what.
Where would we be today
without the moderate
net income tax, When
the basic tax system
has had a chance to
clear the hurdles
thrown in its way
in the courts and to
become fully opera
tive, the benefits of this
program ENACTED by a
DEMOCRATIC legislature
will be apparent to Al
askans.
Let's compare the present condition of solvency and sound., conservative financing with the situation which
resulted from actions of the Republican-controlled 1947 Legislature. That session left us with almost two million
dollars worth of unpaid bills, which were piled up in the Auditor's office because the 1947 Legislature failed to pro
vide revenues to meet expenses. Our new basic tax system has not only met the costs of government during this
biennium but has actually paid off the debts left to us by the Republicans of 1947. The Territory is now on a cash
basis and all bills are paid as they are presented. Thanks to the Democrats, we are now back in business.
Don't vote to go back to chaos. Don't vote to wipe out the gains we have made.
Elect Progressive DEMOCRATIC Candidates!
