Income Taxes
Still Due Despite
Marler Acquittal
The acquittal of Melvin Jack
Marler in the Fairbanks District
Court, on a charge of wilful fail
ure to file tax returns did not in
volve the question of the consti
tutionality of federal taxes in the
Territory and resident of Alaska
are still required to file their
federal tax returns and pay their
proper taxes thereon. This state
ment was officially made toy Wm.
E. Frank, District Director for
the State of Washington and the
Territory of Alaska.
He further stated that Marler’s
trial involved a criminal charge
and that the only issue decided by
the jury was Marler’s personal in
tent to violate a criminal statute.
It was pointed out that after Mar- !
ler’s indictment he actually filed !
tax returns for the years involved |
and that now the Internal Reve
nue Service, in accordance with j
Tegular procedure, will collect the ;
civil tax liability due from him. !
Director Frank said that the '
Constitution of the United States
gives Congress the power to lay I
and collect taxes to pay the debts
and provide for the common de- 1
fense and general welfare of the '
United States and that the Terri- \
tory of Alaska is an integral part:
of the United States.
Sections 6651 and 6601 of the
Internal Revenue Code provide j
that in any case where a taxpayer |
is delinquent in filing, a penalty ,
of 5 ‘. a month up to a total of \
25and interest at the rate of I
6r; per annum from the due date1
of the return will be assessed and
collected. The District Director
stated that his office would con
tinue to enforce these provisions
of the law.
Fin* Job Printing *1 The Nugget 1
WASHINGTON, IJt-Two of the
three major national farm organi
zations called upon President Eis
enhower yesterday to sign the
new farm bill despite the features
objectionable to him.
They are the National Grange
and the National Farmers Union.
Both had used their influence to
get Congress to pass the contro
versial measure.
The American Farm Bureau
Federation, which worked against
the bill, has not yet offered rec
ommendations to the White
House. But its president, Charles
B. Shuman, said Wednesday the
measure was “ill considered” and
would “return to the discredited
i programs that contributed to much
j of the present glutted market situ
| ation.”
The measure calls for a on,e
! year return to farm price supports
: at 90 percent of parity—the sys
! tern in effect during the Truman
| years and blamed by Eisenhower
I for present farm surpluses,
j GOP leaders made a last-ditch
I effort in the House to refashion
j the bill more to Eisenhower’s lik
I ing.
They lost, 238-181, losing 27
Republican votes on the test while
i picking up 14 Democratic ones.
The House then passed the bill
237-181, with 48 Republicans and
35 Democrats defecting from party
lines.
The Sehate promptly took up
the bill and passage there was on
a 50-35 rollcall. Fifteen Republi
cans joined with 35 Democrats in
voting for the measure; against it
were 31 Republicans and four
Democrats.

his two kids to bed.”
Stevenson Pays
Tribute to Alaska
Constitution
FAIRBANKS l/P>—.Adlai Steven
son paid tribute Wednesday to
Alaska’s proposed constitution as
a “charter worthy of a great state’’
while criticizing President Eisen
hower for his hands off attitude.
Stevenson particularly praised
the natural resources section of
the constitution in a letter to Wil
liam Egan, who served last winter
as president of the Constitutional
Convention in Fairbanks.
“The people of Alaska,” Steven
son said, “are familiar with the
dreary history of how the big in
terests exploited the resources in
the past, skimming off the cream
without regard to the welfare of
the region or the benefit of all the
people.
“That is why I am pleased to
note that the new constitution
contemplates the development and
use of natural resources ‘for the
maximum benefit of the people’.”
Stevenson noted that 10 years
have passed since the territory
voted to statehood.
“Six years have passed,” he
added, “since President Eisenhow
er of Columbia University said,
‘Quick admission of Alaska and
| Hawaii to statehood will show the
world that America practices
what it preaches.’ Yet in his State
of the Union message three
months ago, < the President said,
‘I urgently request this CongresS
to grant statehood for Hawaii,’
but then added almost as an after
thought, ‘I trust progress toward
statehood for Alaska can be
made’.”
Alaska deserves more than
“trust” and “progress toward,”
the candidate asserted, which he
said are word symbols of “delay,
indecision and broken promises.
I say again that there should be
Alaskan statehood now without
delay . . .”

Yellow Strand wire rope. Tough, drawn-to-order steel wires
provide the starting point for Yellow Strand’s endurance. Pre
forming then adds greater flexibility and efficiency. This process
neutralizes stiffness and internal stresses and results in a
limber rope that resists kinking and whipping, runs and spools
smoothly and is safer to handle. Ideal for construction, logging
and all uses where wire rope is needed.
