Tax 'collections lasl"year, reported for all . states' bjr , the federal Depart-: ment of Commerce, gave Nebraska a per capita average" of $24.13, low est in the nation save for Kentucky whose total collections' of $59,861, 000 gave a per capita average of $23.48. ; Nebraska collected $28,375,000 in all types of state taxes, including payroll taxes for unemployment com pensation, during the fiscal year ending June' 30, 1944, Governor Griswold reported. Governor Griswold said that for the previous year Nebraska was re corded with the lowest per capita tax of all states but added that a slight population decrease coupled with a sharp gain in unemployment payroll tax collections resulted in a small per capita gain for Nebraska. Kentucky's per capita average, meanwhile, remained virtually un changed and thus placed that state in the low spot of the nation. With unemployment payroll tax collections excluded, Nebraska act ually collected less in operating reve nues during the 1944 fiscal period than in 1943. Operating revenues collected in 1944 totaled $23,163, 000, a drop of $201,000 from last year. Unemployment payroll taxes are earmarked for the sole use of! the unemployment compensation program. Wartime declines in gasoline and liquor revenues were offset to some degree in Nebraska by gains in fee and license collections and by the action of the last legislature which increased the state's "head tax" from $2 to $3 and the taxable age limit from 50 to 65 years, Governor Griswold said. Pointing out that the average per capita tax collection for all states is $42.58 with Nebraska at $24.13 the governor called attention to the following averages of Nebraska's neighbors: Colorado $43.71: Iowa Twentyrf iye , Years in Business Sprae tweity-five years 1 ago, a .

Despite the favorable trends in the war, 40,000 WAVES are still urgently needed by the Women's Reserve of the Navy, states Lieu tenant Commander G. E. Kincannon, Jr., Officer-in-Charge of the U. S. Navy Recruiting activities in Ne braska and South Dakota. The WAVES have distinguished tnemseives by assuming billets in nearly every shore activity in this country, he declares, and with the Navy calling for additional man power, despite the rapid strides that have been made in the European theater, more women are to be en listed to keep every trained Navy man possible available for duty at advanced shore-bases and aboard ship. Under the Navy's manpower set up, between 770,000 and 100,000 men per month, on the basis of pres ent plans will be taken through Selective Service. This will continue until the end of the War. it is thought by the Navy department. Pasadena, California, September 14,: 1944 after several months of linger-! ing illness.

While Nebraska's collections show ed a gajn of 2.3 per cent over the previous.' year, the average gain for the nation was 5.8 per cent. Of all states, Florida showed the greatest gain an increase of 32.1 per cent, due primarily to the inauguration of a new cigaret tax and skyrocket gains of state tax collections on horse-race bets. The state revenue returns from Florida's principal track this year were six times great er than last. Nebraskans Wounded Washington, Sept. 20.
