STAMP TAX ON
LIQUOR DOUBLES UP
Throughout Alaska, on June 7.
retail liquor prices advanced
slightly, for then the Territorial
stamp tax rates on all intoxicat
ing liquors doubles in amount
under the statute enacted by the
last Territorial Legislature and
approved by Gov. Ernest Gruen
J ing on March 7.
| The increased rates not only ap
| plies to merchandise received on
and after June 7, but on all floor
and warehouse stocks held in the
Territory as of June 7, accord
ing to a ruling made by Oscar G.
Olson, Treasurer of Alaska.
; The current rate is 50 cents per
gallon, or three and one-eighth
j cents per half pint or less; six
j and cne-quarter cents per pint;
10 cents per fifth; and 12 one
| half cents per quart.
I The new rates will be exactly
double the old ones.
Based upon receipts for 1939,
i when the Territory collected
I $128,091 in stamp taxes, the rev
i enue from that source for the
next 12 months, with an increas
ing population, should be more
than double that for 1939. It is
estimated that receipts from lic
enses and stamps during the next
biennium should be approximate
; ly $800 000.
| While the Legislature also
amended the wholesale liquor li
cense tax law, changing it from
a flat rate of $500 per year to a
graduated scale based upon the
volume cf busness done, the new
; rates do not become effective un
I til June 27. However, it is under
! stood this will not affect the 11c
' enses issued prior to that date,
which expire December 31, next.
Any new wholesale licenses is
sued subsequent to June 27 will
be subject to the provisions of
the new law.

JUNEAU MEN IN GUARD
WILL BE DRAFT “CREDIT”
JUNEAU — National Guards
men called into active service in
September will constitute a “cred
it” against the Juneau draft quota
and result in fewer selectees be
ing drawn from the community
than from those without men
serving in the Army, Navy or
Marine Corps, according to Ma
jor George H. Baker of the Sel
ective Service System, who flew
into Juneau after a visit to Fort
Richardson at Anchorage.
The quota of selectees for each
Local Board will depend, Major
Baker said, upon the number of
“1A" men under the jurisdiction
of the Board. Men with “1A” rat
ing are those considered by the
local Board to be best able to!
serve and who are physically !
qualified.
Tentative plans are to draft 450
men in Alaska about October 15.
These will be drawn from the
11,000 who registered last Jan
uary. In that registration Juneau
listed 1,386. If the nu|nber of
“l'A” men is in approximately the
same ratio as the number through
out the Territory, the Juneau Lo
cal Board would be called on to
provide 56 draftees.
It is believed about 40 Nation i
al Guardsmen from Juneau will;
be inducted into service. This!
would leave 16 selectees to be'
taken from the community.
However, since National Guard
companies will be going into ser
vice from the four largest popula
tion centers and since a total of
450 selectees will be required no
matter how many “credits” are
allowed throughout Alaska, it is
likely that a larger number will
have to be called.
ALASKA BEING FLOODED
WITH COUNTERFEITS
Considerable quantities of coun
terfeit money are now being
brought to Alaska for circulation
the U. S. Marshal’s office at Ju
neau warned. It is believed the
large influx of outsiders in the
past few months included some
with bogus coin and currency.
The U. S. Secret Service has
asked the Marshal’s office to pick
up and send to the Treasury any
counterfeit money discovered.
Those having such money in their
possession or having any informa
tion on the passing of counter
feits are asked to report to the
Marshal. '
