Certain Automobile Deduc- tion Enter Into An
 nual Statement

With the numbe, of automobile owners registering in the millions, the question of deductions for the cost of operation and maintenance of a motor car frequently arises. The purchase price of an automo- bile, whether it is to be used for business or pleasure, cannot be de- ducted from gross income. If used for business, it is a capital expen- allure; if used for pleasure, it is a personal expenditure-both deduc- tions being expressly prohibited by the income-tax law.
 Several deductions. however. are allowable in connection with the cost of maintenance and operation of an automobile, used either for business or pleasure. If used ex- clusively for business, deductions may be taken for the cost of gaso- line, oil, repairs, garage rent, and other necessary operation and up- keep expenses. Depreciation, based

as Senator Schwellenbach, stresses what is to be done about it.
 We in Alaska, as well as those conversant with Alaska fisheries know the nroads being made by the Japanese fishing banks The Senator goes further and points to the invasion anticipated by British and N.wegian vessels and it does not bode well for the future of American fisheries in the North Pacific
 The world is getting to be small place. Trans portaton and communication has speeded up our mode of living and contacts between distant places that today it is impossible for any nation to obvious that there only two ways in which. we can protect fishing banks. That either to throw
 fleet of warships around waters and say hands off" ito the world, make agreements with other countries in which our rights protected The for mer, of course, would lead to but one thng--war. Therefore the latter appears at this time to be the logical avenue approach andevery day that passes when action is not taken toward that sends means it will be just that muchgnore difficult tosget our just fishing privileges when the inevitable is reached
 International agreement in which we doubtless will have to concede something naturally is not en- tirelv to our liking but cannot dodge it any more than one can put out the by calling the fire de- partment The quicker we, nation, accept the blunt fact and act accordingly the sooner We will stop at least to some degree the great nroads that are now being made this, of our largest na- tional industries.

MONEY FOR THE RIGHT PURPOSES

There probably will be few lifted eyebrows and some broad hints that the Territorial Legislature has forgotten the word economy as Alaskans look the total figure for the Terrtorys appropriations for the next two years an amount at the present time before final action of approximately three million dollars But closer analysis will reveal little cause for alarm criticism
 AS most of us concede, it is not much the amount of money that may be spent, but rather the purposes for which it is to be used that really counts
 It will be noted that the largest single item goes for education for education public schools both rural and city, the very foundation of national advancement Few, indeed, there are who do not want to see their children get the best advantages possible for learning There some effort to elim mate the fund for transportation of pupils living some distance from school But, final analysis, who is there to stand up and say that the child living beyond a walkable distance from school whose par ents are not in circumstances to provide transpor taton, should be denied the right of education?
 sizeable sum is ear-narked for the University of Alaska, institution of higher learning being fostered within our borders and doing excellent work There is honest question to the speed at which this institution should be permitted to expand in relation to resources and the development of the rest of the Territory. But there none to say the University should be abandoned, thus it is imperative that it be supported
 Next in the larger amounts, but probably foremost in importance, is the item of roads. sum of $40000O has been fixed. prior to final action for that purpose Included in this is trails and the development of landing fields. Mining, too has been provided for, $2O000 being set aside for mining extension at the University and further funds given the mining de- partment to carry forward it surveys in promoting development work
 Tbo inlay ctob1i chaJi itapoc Inc dnnin tration of government much the same, being ad- usted in various places to meet requirements. Thus it appears, that while three million dollars is lot of money when it is expended in the furtherance of education and for the development of natural sources it is not being wasted.

FISHING IN THE NORTH PACIFIC

Lewis B Schweenbach, the junior Senator from Washington State again calls to the attention of Congress the need for adequate protection of the North Pacific fisheries which includes that annually great output from Alaskan waters He points logi- cally to the grave danger which lies in competition over the valuable food products taken in large quantities from the Boring Sea to the sardine coast of California.
 The point has been emphasized many times before and in the future it doubtless will become even more controversial issue But the important feature
