INCOME TAX REDUCTION
After Secretary Mellon had called the newspapers
into conference, asked for suggestions as to the best man
ner to dispose of the $300,000,000 income tax surplus and
received them, he decided to adheer to his own ideas of
who should be beneficiary of the situation. Mr. Mellon is
inclined to accept President Coolidge’s suggestion that a
rebate be given on corporation and industrial taxes.
Chairman Madden of the appropriations committee is
willing to include theatre taxes in the scheme of rebate,
but when it came to the suggestions that the rebate or re
duction be made to cover the general excise taxes, includ
ing those of the little fellows, Mr. Mellon countered with
the statement that these taxes, that of the little fellow—
were so small that they did not merit consideration, or
words to that effect.
Unfortunately the little fellow is too often overlook
ed in our unscientific taxation plans, which are more
archaic than those of most European countries. It does
not seem to occur to those responsible for imposing taxes
that the dole of the little fellow is a greater burden than
that of the larger interests. It is not unlike the situation
wherein a five-cent meal is.beyond the reach of the man
without the five cents, while a dollar meal is commonplace
to the man with the dollar. In the general income tax
scheme the framers of the measure arbitrarily set the
standard of living which must be maintained by the rank
and file placing a penalty on all surpluses above the actual
cost of maintenance. This surplus is of greater magni
tude to the wage-earner than some of the sur-taxes are
to those whose incomes do not rest upon such a narrow
margin of sustenance. Any scheme that does not take
into consideration the position of the man of small income,
is inequitable and unfair.
Having failed to convict Alaska of raising merry
hell, the Weather bureau now blames us for the tornadoes
that blew the one-piece bathing suits off Florida’s beach
beauties.
A facetious writer claims Florida is the only country
where you are compelled to climb up a ladder to get into
the ocean. Which reminds us that in Juneau you have to
use the same method to get down into the town.
If they ever really find Aimee’s prison shack, Henry
Ford may buy it to add to his collection of historical land
marks. Aimee hasn’t been in The Gateway for two days.
What’s the matter Califomia?
Let’s see, isn’t it just about time to tell the world
there are only 37 more days until Christmas?
If Secretary Mellon cannot decide what to do with
that $300,000,000 income tax surplus we will assist him
by accepting it agreeing to rebate it to the treasury when
ever he chokes the bureaus off Alaska.

L MEN HIT OUT
FOR HUNTING TRIP
The big game in .this district is serv
ed warning by Dr. Roberts and “Bud”
Dyer, local celebrities, who left town
bright and early this morning
for the Kenai peninsula country on
a one or two weeks hunt. For weeks
these two had been holding secret
confabs and what-nots and have had
no time for any' diversion, their alibi
being they were occupied in preparing
the outfit. One close friend said yes
terday that after they got through
borrowing stuff from him all he had
left was a pair of pants. It is reliably
reported the two lads are taking two
tons of supplies and camp equipment |
into the hills for they want to have
al the comforts of home at all times.
Be that as it may, it is a safe bet
these chaps return with the limit for
both are noted as expert marksmen
and are as fleet footed as a fawn or
mountain goat.
