Governor, Wife
Here Today On
Trip Outside

En- route to Washington. d. C.,
and eastern points on interests of
the Territory, Gov. Ernest Gruen-
ing, accompanied by Mrs. Gruening
was in WrangeI for a short time
this afternoon while the North
Coast, taking him to Seattle, was
in port
Met at the dock by Mayor Van
H. Fisk, the Governor and Mrs.
Gruening were taken out the high
way and for a brief visit to Wran-
CELL Institute where Principal George
T. Barrett and his staff welcomed
them. A special meeting of the IN
stitute student body was called and
the Governor and Mrs. Gruening
both spoke.
The governor said it was his be-
lief that Alaskans would have an
opportunity to welcome the big
chief, President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, next summer. The Pres
ident has indicated definitely that
he would visit Alaska within year,
the Governor said.
Complimenting the students on
the fine work they are doing, both
the Governor and Mrs. Gruening ex-
pressed a desire to return and spend
an entire day going over the In
stitute, the largest institution of its
kind in the Territory devoted ex-
elusiyely to the education of native
children.
The Territory's First Couple IA
cetiously remarked one of the rea-
sonse they were returning to- the
east at this time was to wear their
fur coats and leave them there, find
ing no use for them in Alaska where
the Governor said its been like
spring ever since we've been here.
I'm afraid our friends in the east
are going to question our yeracity
when we tell them of this weather.
After going direct to Washington
on budget matters, the Governor
expects to attend a meeting of the
Highway Commission
at Ottawa, and probably will be alb
sent from the Territory until about
the middle of March. In the mean
time, Secretary E. L. Bartlett is
Acting Governor of the Territory.

On Thought OF
Increasing Taxes

WASHINGTON, Jan. D - A Dem
ocratie proposal that Congress work
out its own Federal budget and
compare il with the one submitted
to Congress yesterday by President
Roosevelt before voting any appro-
priations or new taxes stirred strong
opposition amid the Nations law
makers. Some qualified approval.
Among leading Legislators, chair
man Pat Harrison OF the Finance
Committee. brought forth a sugges-
ton that "a members of the Senate
and House Committee study the
budget tax needs for sixty days
while Congress concerns itself with
other measures.
Representative Tabor, New York,
senior Republican member of the
House Appropriations Com m i t e
welcomed Harrison's suggestion.
Il am sure we could get along
with considerable less than the S.
242,000,000, the President estimated
as needed for 1940-41". Represent
alive Tabor said.
Senate Republicans called a con
ference to go over the Presidents
budget and to study his reeommen-
dation that new taxes be levied to
the tune of 100000 for extra
ordinary armament needs.
