Chamber Holds
 Noon Luncheon

The regular business meeting of the Board of Directors of the Northwestern Alaska Chamber of Commerce met in the dining room of the North Pole Bakery Tuesday noon, and was called to order by Vice-president Ralph Lomen. After the disposition of the minutes and roll call, under correspondence, the following were read: The Seattle Chamber of Commerce, the Portland Cham Der of Commerce, the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce, the AL aska Sportsman, Steve flanagan publicity bureau and a petition from the Postmasters at Teller, Wales, and Shishmaref on the subject of an emergency air mail trip after the arrival of the first boat.
 The subject was discussed and on motion the petition was duly endorsed and secretary instruct ed to inform Earl L. March, Chief Clerk Railway Mail Serv- ice stationed at Seward.
 The discussion on the subject brought out the necessity of some action to be taken to enter into a program of education to encourage the use of mails.

In an opinion delivered by late ly-seated MT. Justice Frankfurt CT, approved six to two, the Su- preme Court of the United States set aside rulings on the subject of taxation which have been ac- cumulating and sustaining one another for more than century. The federal government now has power to tax the pay of the state, county and municipal employees. A state, in turn, may lay an in come tax on the federal salaries of those residing within it's bor- ders. In some quarters, the decis-
 on IS regarded as covering the entire ground. In others it is be- lieved that the pay of members of Congress and other high offic- ials remains exempt. The sin cerity of Congress long has been questioned, on account of the

Current Comments From Washington
Especial to the Nugget)

The Washington weather pen dulum has swung back and forth between overcoat temperatures and thermometer readings in the eighties. The President, as a con sequence, has been in the doc tors hands, to be treated for a cold and allied disorders. He lost but one days time, however, and probably will not be docked for that. Otherwise, the White House routine went on as usual, an av- craze day beginning with the re- ception of the first caller at 10:3O in the morning, and ending as the door closed behind the last at 500 in the afternoon.
The Nome nugget., 1939-05-05

Now and then something trick les out respecting the Military Affairs discussions, and it is al- legged that the President has said that American forces should not be expected to bear arms in sup port of foreign nation not dom .ciled in North or South America The sympathy of the United Stat es will go out to the democracies of Europe who may have to bat tie for existence, but our chief concern will be to keep clear of the mess. In the events of a Flu ropean war in which Germany is concerned Eng and and France may be favored, but before that can be done, Congress will have to amend or repeal laws which forbid the shipment of munitions to nations at war. Such is the conjectural definition of our for eign policy. The future alone will determine the accuracy of such reports and surmises as are now available.

If Congress manages to crawl out from beneath the operation of the decision of the Supreme Court, what hitherto has been no more than doubt re garding sincerity, will ripen into open contempt. The next step to ward making all things subject to the gentle call of the tax col lector is said to be the removal of the exemption which applies 10 government securities.
The Nome nugget., 1939-05-05

Europe should have a kindly feeling for Uncle Sam. He has paid her war bills, fought her battles, and provided a dwelling place for those of her people who did not like conditions in the old home. Refugees are knocking for admission, as they have done since America began to be settled through colonization. In the early days the problem was simple. There was plenty of room. An immigant could be given a gun, an axe and bushel of seed corn and left to work out his own ma terial salvation. The growth and spread of the social security con- cept has made impossible the handling of an indigent popula- ton by any such primitive means. Absorbing a refugee in- Aux was one thing m 1889, but it is quite another in 1889.

Behind The Stock Ticker
Business Trends a. Seen by Wall Street

NEW lORk-Rumors are strong
in financial circles that the price
structure of steel has weakened
and that reductions are in the Off
ing. To steel manufacturers, those
rmors arc silly. II may be said on
good authority that the industry's
have and are seriously
considering price increase.
The inside is that the steel price
range would have been lifted for
first quarter deliveries But steel
officials were of the belief that the
time wasn't ripe. This was based
on the political uncertainties here
and abroad. Consumer buying was
expected to run low. The forecast
is being confirmed.
Now that the department of
labor has stated its opinion on
wage scales on government awards,
the picture has definitely changed.
Faced with rigid wage scales. low
prices and high taxation. steel eX-
ecutives are anxious to boost prices
for second quarted deliveries, and
will do so if consumers arc in a
buying mood.
