Ever since he has been in Wash ington, Delegate Dimond has en- deavored to hasten action on the rivers and harbors and flood con- trol projects n the Territory which have been approved by the army engineers. Several Alaska items were contained in the rivers and harbors bill before Congress, but that bill was shelved when the Pub lie Works Administration was ere ated.
 Orally and by letter, following set-up of the PW,A. on many occa- sions. the Delegate has urged these projects as public works of worthy character and suggested that allott- ments be made for them. However. the administration has moved very slowly in approving any rivers and harbors for flood control work and this was forcibly illustrated when Harold L. Ickes, adminstrat- or of the PWlA, informed the Dele gate that the ''problem is one on which this Administration has not reached a definite deci- sion." To date, the only sizeable projects approved are those pro- viding for flood control that when and if a more liberal attitude is adopted with respect to this class of work, Alaska will share pro- portionately with other sections of the country.

Income Tax Blank

The masters of income tax

which you figure. just how much
you can get away with; after
you have decided that THEY"

the final figures on the official
sheet and the officials never
know through what agonies Of
conscience you have passed. You
might do all that preliminary
figuring on any piece Of blank
paper, but the official form
gives you, for a few moments a
little hope that you will be able
to pay what you pretend you
ought to pay.
There is another use for that
trial sheet. Somewhere on the
margin you might write: ITO
whom am I pay ing this money!"
and For what will it be spent?"
You know the obvious answers:
''To the Government for the ex-
penses of governing" Yet you
ought to write down the ques-
