EXPLANATORY
CONTEST To Be
ELO1OMORROW

The Southeastern Alaska Decla-
matory Contest will be held at the
Variety Theatre On Saturday even.
ing, April 16, at p. m. This is
the first time that Petersburg has
ever entertained any of the Inter
scholastic contests. In previous
years the Declamatory contests have
been separated in order that as
many towns as possible might have
the benefits derived from the con-
tests.
All the towns in southeastern AL
aska are privileged to enter the
Declamatory contest. This year
those represented are: Juneau,
Skagway, Ketchikan and Petersburg.
The contestants from each locality
have been chosen as our represent
ative was, by an elimination con-
test in their respective towns. Miss
Lillian Anderson who won first
place in the local contest, will rep
resent Petersburg.
AS the attention of the audience
is very important factor in the
success of the contest, the parents
are requested to keep small children
with them to avoid disturbances.
Besides the dramatic readings,
The program will contain several
musical selections by local talent.
AS this is the first time that
Petersburg High School has been
represented in a Declamatory con-
test the school would appreciate
the hearty support of the citizens.

LOCAL Com. CLUB
REFUSES NEEDLE
GRADUATED TAX

In it's regular meeting this week
The Commercial Club followed the
action of the Executive Committed
which recommended that the Club
take no action to protest against
the graduated tax measures before
the Legislature.
At a previous meeting, Mr.. Ed
ward Locken read a lengthy tele-
gram from Mr.. Schoenwald urging
the Club to protest against the pas
sage of this bill. The matter was
placed in the hands of committee
TO look into it's various phases and
to report to the Club. The report
of the Club was that it should not
as a business organization take
any action on this subject which
affects both cannery and resident
interests.
Mr.. Locken made motion that
the Club take definite action and
not "straddle'' the question. The
motion did not carry. Later when
a Mr.. Beauchar spoke asking if the
business men of the town would
support a farmer in this district
by buying his products, Mr.. Locken
made a motion that it be the sense
of the Cub that it protest against
the passage of any bill which
would tend to change and raise the
present schedule of taxes thruout
the Territory and follow the sug-
gestion of Governor Parks in his
message to the Legislature. There
was no second to the measure so
the motion died a natural death.
The action of the Club may be
construed as being not opposed to
restrictive measures against the
trap interests and in favor of
greater earning power Of resident
seiners.
