TIIE STORY.
No truer indication of the
fact that things are looking
up for residents of Alaska
can be found than the re
port of Alex McK. Vierhus,
Collector of Internal Rev
enue, for the district inciud
ing the State of Washing
ton and the Territory of A1
aska. Mr. Vierhus reports
that collections for January
of this year were 71 per
cent more than 1935 and
that February was 65 per
cent over a year ago. The
actual collections for the
first two months of this
year were $667,475, or a
gain of $269,258 over the
same period a year ago.
These increases are the
more significant, Mr. Vier
hus believes, because they
also show an increase of ap
proximately 6U per cent ov
er the 1934 returns.
Analyzing further, the
Collector points out that
the greatei part of the in
crease comes from the
small salary and wage earn
ing class returns, although
there is a substantial gain
for all classes of taxpayers.
There can be but one an
swer to that picture, and
that is the assurance of ac
tual business improvement
in dollars and cents. You
don’t pay income tax up
less you make income. The
old adage is that money
talks, and certainly it talks
' in the income tax returns
in a loud voice of general
industrial recovery. If the
increase in returns was
mostly from those in the
larger brackets it would be
a much less heartening pic
ture. but when the gain is
noticeable in the small sal
ary and wage earning class,
it rev; Is the widespread
scope of readjustment and
employment. In view of
the noise that has and is
being made about the num
ber of persons on relief and
the vast unemployment
rolls Mr. Vierhus’ report is
particularly enlightening.

The British are said to
be worried about the new'
king’s plane rides. Their
fears seem needless, since
he can’t make a plane gal
lop. .
In Malaysia is a new' rub
ber highway which, with
the co-operation of drivers,
will probably introduce
bouncing grownups.
Mrs. Borah says her hus
