The other evening we heard a wOm-
an ask what in the world would be-
come of the younger generation.
That's an easy one They'll fall in
love, get married, have children and
trouble and all that sort Of thing, and
as they get older they will worry
about what's to become of the young
er generation.

INCOME TAX THE WAY OUT
Editor Askov American:

Editor ASkOv American: -
Many years ago when / first heard
about a party in favor of public own
the right thing and l. think. so yet.
but how can We get. it.? From that
time up to now we have gone farther
away from it all the time; so to get
it we must turn around and go in the
opposite direction. At first everything
was owned by the public but grad
ually given to privates. Now a small
percentage of the people are the own
ers of nearly everything, and how
can we make that turn so the public
can become the owners of it, when
the few are the owners of all property,
money and credit, then the public can
not buy it. To buy it on credit would
not be ownership. 1t can not be taken
by confiscation, as that is plainly for
bidoen in the constitution.
Public ownership is so far away
that it is out of sight, so we will
have to look for some other way out
of the mire we are in. @
We can not prevent the rich peo-
pie from making profit out of the rest.
but we can prevent them from keep
ing it all, as Article Is in the con-
stitution reads as follows:
The congress shall have power to
lay and collect taxes on incomes from
whatever source derived, without ap-
portionment among the several states,
and without regard to any census or
enumeration. There can be tax ex-
empt property and credits, but in
comes from it are to be taxed like
other incomes according to this ar
ticle. .....
We cannot expect to get the con-
stitutfon amended so congress. by law.
can impair obligations; so we will
have to- let the rich keep their wealth,
but it can be taxed to such an extent
that they don't get any richer, and
then there is no harm in that they
are rich. Nearly all income for the
federal government comes from tariff
and other taxes on living expenses. If
that was shifted over to come in from
taxes on incomes, we would be sur
prised, so cheap the living woulc be,
so people with a medium income
could pay a low income tax and be
money ahead, and the people with the
small incomes be free from taxes.
and get SO much better living out of
their small incomes. AS it is, even
a pauper has to pay tax on everything
that he consumes.
One editor has claimed in a pri-
vate letter to me, that there is not
enough income SO all taxes to the
federal government can come in from
that. 1 TOLD him that there was no
logic in such a statement, as every
one must first have the income in
order to pay the value of the goods,
and besides that, to pay the tax there
Is on it. He pretends to be friend
of the common people, and he must
do that, or they would not take his
paper, only to see how dishonest he
can be. The tax can easier come in
that way. because by that. the large
incomes then can be taxed to the full
extent AS it is, they are compare
lively free, as the bulk of it is paid
by the common and the poor people.
1t should be paid at a rising scale on
net incomes, but leave any one enough
for q good living and comfort, but

Mixed Commission May Be Called Upon to Adjust
 Latest Controversy

LONDON. Feb. 15-Reports to- day of new Manchukuoan border clash disturbed indications of con- certed efforts by Japan and Russia to settle the Soviet -Manchukuoan boundary disputes peacefully, and turned the anxious eyes of the world on the seething Orient.
 Japanese news dispatches report ed an attack by an outer Mongol- ian force of a thousand men on the Japanese -Manchukuoan mili- tary outpost at Asailsuma The report came amid indications that pressure was being brought on Gen. Jiro Minami Commander of the Japanese forces in Manchukuo, to control the martial spirit of his subordinates and curb provocative declarations by Manchukuoan of ficials
 An official communique from the Soviet Government at Moscow said Russia and Japan agreed in prin- ciple upon the appointment of a mixed commission to settle the bor- der controversy by diplomacy rather than force.
 Further open warfare has been feared in the Far East since Jap anese forces moved into Manchukuo more than two years ago. Feeling between the Japanese and Russia has reached the breaking point on several occasions, and charges have been made by Tokyo that the Soviet, through Communistic pro- paganda, was attempting to turn China against her. Russia, watch ing Japan carefully move into China, has declared she fears ag- gression by the Japanese into Si- berian territory Relations have been strained for months.

TALLAPOOSA TO RESCUE STORM
 BOUND FAMILY
Gutter Will Tow Alaskan to Taku Where Travellers
 Are Now Marooned

The Coast Guard cutter Talla- poosa, commanded by Lieut.. Miles Inlay. with the gasboat Alaskan in tow, left Juneau this afternoon on an errand of mercy to Taku, where MT. and Mrs. George Bacon and MT and Mrs. A. Lingard arc awaiting transportation to Juneau.
 MT. and Mrs. Bacon and their two children. and MT. and Mrs. Lingard and two children. have been at Taku since their arrival at that point by dog team on February 12 Mrs. Bacon is i'll and telephonic requests for aid resulted in the dispatching of the gasboat Northlight, Capt. Nels Lundine. to Taku yesterday. The Northlight was unable to reach the mouth of the Taku River be- cause of heavy coat of ice which formed on the vessel, endangering the light craft, and returned to Juneau last night
 It is thought that the protection afforded by the Tallapoosa will pre- vent the formation of ice on the Alaskan in dangerous quantities.
 Ice from the Taku River extends about mile and half into salt water and the Tallapoosa will be prevented from reaching the edge Of the ice by the shallowness of the water at that point. When the two vessels reach the mouth of the river. the Alaskan will proceed to the edge of the ice, where oil flares will be lighted in an attempt to notify the stranded travellers that help is at hand.
