THE ETHICS OF KEY

Should NewIyWedS Start In New Community

1.-TWO months after we were
married, my husband lost his job
and we were compelled 10 move TO
another town and live there
amongst strangers. It's true we
weren't criticized, we weren't
pitied, nor did anybody interfere
with us. But believe me. no one
cared whether we needed advice,
whether we we're lonesome, wheth-
er we lived or died.
1T was through encouragement
and advice from friends that we
returned back home and there
through relatives aid we started
life anew. Perhaps We were criti-
cized, but all criticism was well
meant and taken as such.

own free will start life in a new
community. It's like cutting off

 In letter to salmon industry members, the industry's adver- Using agency points cut that the two principal themes used to ad- vertise canned salmon-economy and health values - have been accepted by most consumers. This is shown by the number of house wives who regard this food as more economical than other main dishes, and by the number who know the specific health values that canned salmon supplies.

Senators Frightened, BambOOzled

The Lobby was able to frighten one Senator, to bamboozle anOth CT. and these in addition to those already "in the bag were suffic- tent. With ample opportunity for intelligent discussion and an hon est facing of Alaska's problems, the income tax bill was never given serious consideration in the Senate, although the House pass ed by a vote of ten to six. The Lobby has stimulated some child ish talk to the effect that these tax proposals were brought in from the Outside" (So, it might be recalled, are the Federal funds which pay the legislators travel and per diem) The basis for this tax legislation was laid three years ago under the administra- ton of Governor Troy when, at his direction the Planning Coun- cil undertook a thorough study of taxation. This was clearly an moving to the Lobby which want ed the Planning Council killed and had its way. But apart from all this, the Legislature had full and final control over any tax legislation. The Legislature had the power to amend any propOs- as Or to introduce new revenue measures. The only substantial tax measure passed was one doub ling the stamp tax on liquor. The general property tax, eXpertly drafted, was not even given the courtesy of hearing or discus sion. A gross sales tax introduc- ed in the Senate after it was clear the other measures would not receive consideration, was likewise unceremoniously laid on the table. Thus while the Legis- lature passed a few worthwhile measures, great opportunities for constructive legislation which would help Alaska were passed by.

American House Wife Reports On Canned Salmon

Three out of every five famil- ies in the United States are users of canned salmon, a nationwide survey just completed for the Canned Salmon Industry reveals
 Data in the report, titled "The American Housewife Reports on Canned Salmon,' was secured by interviews with women in all sec tions of the country. Interviews were divided to give proper rcp resentation to large, medium and small sized cities, as well as small towns and rural areas. The re suits are also properly represent atiVa of all income levels, and racial differences.
 Fifty-nine percent of the house wives used canned salmon at least once during the month pre- vious to the time they were in tervieWed. There were only l9 percent who had not served can ned salmon to their families dur ing the past year.
 Of all the salmon used per cent is used on Fridays, with l2 percent used on Wednesdays, the second most popular day. Near ly two-thirds of the servings are at supper or dinner, with one third being served at lunch.
 Twenty-four percent of the families serving salmon serve it as is" without any special pre- paration. Twenty-two percent serve it in salads. Salmon loaf is served by 19 percent of the users, and 12 percent serve it creamed. Salmon is thus consider ed a much more versatile dish than tuna which is served prin- cipally in salads,
 Two consumers in every three regard canned salmon as an econ omical food, while only three per cent regard it as "ineXpensive.' Thirty percent of the housewives interviewed regard salmon as more appetizing than other main dish foods, while 57 percent re- gard it as about average in appet- ite appeal.
 Every fifth consumer thinks sal mon is more healthful than other in every five were able to name main dish food. Three housewives specific health values found in canned salmon.
 Two out of every five house wives had a supply of canned sal mon in their pantries at the time the investigator called. The aver age quantity on hand was slight ly more than two cans.
 Six out of ten housewives know where the salmon they

Most Lightly Taxed

The Lobby's cry was that with increased Federal taxes for de- fense impending, this was no time for any new Territorial tax es. The facts are that Alaska is by far the most lightly taxed en- tity under the flag; that in no other part of the union do so many occupations, categories or individuals escape appr9ciable taxation; that after enjoying TO percent increase in the price of gold for the four years from 1883 to 1887 without an additional cent of taxation, a three percent gross tax with a. $20,000 exemp- tion aone has been levied on Al aska's gold industry; that under this exemption over $5,000,000 with of gold is taken out of AL aska annually without paying OIC CCllI Ol JdA JO lllC CIl lCOl !, that many states with already ad equate tax burdens are taxing themselves further to meet their needs; that the Territory is now at an all-time high of prosperity; that the National Defense pro- gram is still furthers augmenting this prosperity; but that very little of this new wealth is stay ing in Alaska. Although Cover nor Langlie's message to the Washington Legislature, in which economy was urged, was quoted by one of the leading Alaskan lobbyists, he did not state that nevertheless the Washington Leg islature finally adopted, in order to provide adequate government al services to the people of that state, the largest budget in it's history and increased taxes all along the line.

Next Biennium
In the next biennium, the pee

In the next biennium, the peO- pie of Alaska will have ample time to consider these problems. If, as has been alleged - quite in correctly - these tax measures were sprung" on the Legislature and public without sufficient warning, there will now be two years for their full study. There are available in the Governors Office, for any who may desire them, complete studies of Alas kas tax problem, copies of the proposed net income and proper ty tax, together with summar- ies thereof.
 And the underlying issue, which will not down, is whether the absentees who are stripping, and would continue to strip, AL aska, shall through their resident lobbyists and representatives take it all. Or, whether the peo- pie of Alaska shall take their part and blow it back for the improvement and welfare of the Territory which they want to call their home.

Time Will Tell

Time will prove him wrong. Neither Alaska nor any part of our beloved United States will be controlled by the penny pinch ing pretened patriots, by the lobbyists whose flag is the dollar sign and who at all times in their methods and morals are the en- emies of the democratic process.
 Here in Alaska at the Fifteen tn Session the Lobby told the people of Alaska:
 You shall not have additional funds for Vocational Education, , and so no funds were voted.
 The Lobby declared:
 "You shall not have additional facilities for the University for the boys and girls who want to go there. You shall have no new structures, and you must cut your funds for operation" And so the University's budget was drastically reduced.
 The Loby said, You shall not have armories."
 And despite the fact that ten out of 16 members of the House and five out of eight members in the Senate favored armories and so voted, there were no armories.
 The Lobby even tried to cut the funds for crippled children. It got $10,000 slashed off the re- quested $3O,OOO in the first skir mish. There was sufficient indig-

Reform Perish

Incidental to the Lobby's stra- tegy of obstruction and delay, worldwide measures, often involv ed no increased expenditures, re- forms long sought by Alaska's civic bodieS-Women's clubs, the American Legion-perished. Thus died the bills for a juvenile code - to prevent little children from being stigmatized as criminals and the bill amending the mo- thers' allowance law, both recon mended by the Department of Public Welfare. The Lobby was too busy with its slaughter to worry about innocent victims.
 The Lobby on the whole won a sweeping victory To be sure it. suffered a few set-backs. It man. aged to secure cuts in many ap- propriations that were needed; it managed to defeat all tax legis- lation which would have distrib- uted the burden equitably and have reached those who have hitherto not borne a fraction of their just share; and it is highly possible that some worthwhile ap propriations were made only be- cause the Lobby knew funds for them might not be available.
 With a one-third increase in population in a decade, and fur ther growth in prospect, our prob lems could be taken care of large ly by revamping out obsolete and inadequate tax structure. Such revision would permit our new and increased activities, not now taxed, to pay a small share of their burden. At present the in Aux of people into an Alaska community creates new rsquire- mentS-fOr Scho0lS, streets, pup lie utilities, and so forth At the same time this influx creates pros perity; merchants do a much larg CT business. But under our rigid and outworn tax system the Terri torial Treasury get no additional receipts. In other words, Alaska while called upon to furnish new facilities, yet gets no correspond ing tax benefits from the increas- ed business and new construc- ton activities. The extremely moderate net income and proper ty taxes proposed to the Fifteenth Legislature would have remed- jed this difficulty.
