COMMUNICATION

The writer of this is an oldtim- CT, a pioneer, charter member of Igloo No. l, who has done his share towards the development of Alas ka during those early days when life was hard and hazardous. He has reached near three score years and ten, like many others winding up now more or less disabled.
 Such men have generally been of a reckless nature, giving little thought to future bad luck, Self-re- liant unil the last. A frame of mind of that kind can only be defended by accusing Mother Ma ture, herself. Yet, they were the kind the country needed. They blazed the trails and made things hum.
 Confronted with infirmity and old age they find themselves re- legated to the scrap heap. Merci- less rejectionS meet them every where.
 So what will you call the last recourse, the pension and the Pioneer Home at Sitka? I have an application blank before me. Some excerpts follow:
 You shall be in absolute need.
 Upon the death of the benefi- ciary of these acts the Territory shall have the same claim against the estate of such person, as pro- vided in chapter g, Session Laws fof 1919.
 Have you any other near re- latives in Alaska or elsewhere? Give their names and residences. Do you receive any assistance from them?"
 Then follows eight more para graphs of questions and state ments required for no other pur- pose than possible chance to withdraw the helping hand.
 Give the names of four res |ponsible persons others than those mentioned in the affidavits, to whom you can refer"
 To find expressions of courser minds than the authors of those paragraphs you certainly have to travel far.
 It is not even despicable philan- trophy; the Greek word means benevolence, love towards fellow man. It is not humanism. It is the craven designs of cruel class rule on abject misery, repellant to any sense of kindness. It can only serve to prolong a misery that is worth less than nothing.
 I ask myself if the authorities ever had a man, who possibly could live independently who were willing to sign those articles. l positively decline to believe it, till I see such a profligate knave proven up before me.
 And here we had heard of mag aninity, of a pension that were given freely for hardships en- dured.

FINAL ACTION ON TAX BILL
 IS DELAYED
Move to Double School Poll Tax Blocked in House
 Postponed Week

The House this morning blocked consideration of an amendment to the school poll tax law whereby the present .s5 levy would be in- creased to $10, setting the meas ure and amendment over for a period of one week.
 The expressed reason for the delay was to permit the members to find out what methods the Ways and Means Committee will take to raise revenues for the biennium.
 Relief Tax Involved The movement recently started to impose a special relief tax of s5, proceeds from which it was proposed, would be placed in a fund to be known as Special In- digent Relief Fund in the Treas ury.
 At the same time this measure was introduced MT Foster intro duced bill to exempt Indians and Eskimos from the provisions of the school poll tax law, and to raise the max m u m age limit which is now 50 years, to 55. In the Ways and Means hearings, the majority of that body recommend ed that the school tax be raised $5, making it $10, and the relief tax measure dropped. It was ar gued that great deal of diffi- culty would be encountered in col lecting the relief tax which would be avoided by merely doubling the other.
 House Defers Action
 The measure amending the school tax law was brought back to the floor of the House this morning after a continuance of three days MT. Foster then offered his amend ment to double the rate. MT. Zieg- Ter, who argued against immediate action, declaring he was not in favor of the raise unless 1t was absolutely necessary, moved to table the bill and amendment for one week. The House adopted his motion eight to seven.
 Postponement, he and ct h I members declared, was advisable in order that the House could be informed when it did take final ac- tior1 as to what tax measures the Ways and Means Committee will propose for raising revenues. It is conceded, MT. ziegler said, that there must be some increase in taxation in order to meet needful appropriations.
 Pass Vim Memorial
 MT. Winn's memorial asking Congress to discontinue the fee system to compensate Unite q States Commissioners in Alaska and to put them on salary basis was passed by the House this morning.
 Several House measures were considered in second reading and advanced on the calendar to come LID for final passage Saturday. The House recessed at noon until m at which time it will take LID the repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law for final disposal.
