State Dept, of Revenue
Starts Crackdown On
Tax Violators
JUNEAU, —Commissioner ot
Revenue Peter Gatz disclosed last
week that his office has embarked
on an intensive campaign to
search out persons who have wil
fully failed to pay state taxes.
The disclosure followed by just
a few hours the arraignment of a
commercial fisherman, Don Fos
ter, on charges that he failed to
pay the state school tax for seven
years and failed to pay the state
net income tax for five years.
If he were found guilty on all
counts, Foster would face a maxi
mum sentence of 10 years and
3 months in jail and fines amount
ing to $9,200.
Gatz said his office was work
ing with the tax division of the
Attorney General’s office’ now in
“completing investigations of
certain groups of individuals.”
Gatz explained that by using
the term “certain groups of in
dividuals,” he meant certain
working groups, such as fisher
men, construction workers, law
yers and similar classifications.
“We are making a systematic
check of every taxpayer in the
state,” Gatz said. “To have a fair
lax system, everyone should pay
his share. That is what this pro
gram is aimed at.”
As a general rule, anyone who
earns money within the borders
of the State of Alaska must pay
a net income tax and a school
tax of $10 annually, regardless
of whether the person involved
is a resident of this state or an
other sate.
Overnight guests with the Wien
tours are George Major, Rev. and
Mrs. Linke, Gretchen Lent.
A Short History Of
The Republican Party
CHICAGO, —Here’s a thumb
nail biography of the Republican
party, often called the Grand Old I
Party or GOP for short:
Born in 1854, either in Ripon,
Wi9.; or Jackson, Mich., both
claim the honor. First convention
held at Jackson nominated a slate
of state candidates.
1856, nominated its first presi
dential ticket at Philadelphia,
John C. Fremont and William
Dayton. They lost.
1869, nominated its first suc
cessful presidential ticket at Chi
cago—Abraham Lincoln and Han
nibal Hamlin.
1874, artist Thomas Nast pub
lished a cartoon in Harper’s week
ly showing a huge elephant label
ed “the Republican vote” tramp
ling . charges made by Tammany
Hall against Republican President
Ulysses S. Grant. A symbol was
born.
1884, give or take a year: the
phrase Grand Old Party came
into being. It came from the term
grand old man applied lo William
Gladstone, the great British prime
minister of the era.

Anchorage Labor
Group Conies Out
For Initiative No. I
i ANCHORAGE, UP) — The An- |
chorage Central Labor Council
and the directors of the Greater
Anchorage Chamber of Commerce
bot+i came out Friday in support
of Initiative No. 1 to move the
capital from Juneau to Western
Alaska.
Both groups also voted that the
capital if moved—should not be
in Anchorage. The Labor Council
recommended it “not be in the
Greater Anchorage area”; the
Chamber directors said it should
be on state-owned land in the
Matanuska Valley.
Dennis Swords, secretary of the
7-8,000 man labor group, said the
Council decided “it was a simple 1
question of where we want the [
capital to be built.”
He said the Council believes !
adequate capital facilities do not
exist anywhere in Alaska — in
cluding Juneau.
One union official said the labor
group would make a “strong ef- \
fort” to get its voters to the polls
for the Aug. 9 election.
Chamber directors protested
pro-motion methods being used by
Juneau. Chester Gordon called
the Juneau efforts a “lot of
poppycock” and said “some are
doing it for strictly political and
personal motives.”
Other Chamber officials pro
tested that men elected by the
entire state, such as Gov. William
Egan and Sens. E. L. Bartlett and
Ernest Gruening, should not have |
taken a stand against moving the
capital.
The directors said the cost of
moving the capital has been
highly exaggerated.
“All it means is moving some
people and some filing cabinets,”
Chamber President Larry Landry
said.
