and even moderate taxatibn After the. presel ,om slacks off And when tdis boom does sia, f and public work projects are necessary to tai ID the slack in employment, the business IT must be in a position to pour tax money into offers to meet their local conditions
 Along this line, we believe the following e orial from the Fairbanks News-Miner pretty W xplans the position of Alaska in the prese rises:
 With Federal taxes starting to mount to dizzy heights, thought is directed the nation over to prevent increase-indeed in many instances, to bring about reduction--of local imposts.
 Last year all direct taxes, Federal and local, amounted to $40 for every family This year the defense program will add heavily to last years tax figure. .u
 Federal taxes cannot be reduced They will be higher before they are lower, gov ernment authorities are frank to admit How high, of course, depends on the dura ton of wars abroad and the extent into which the United States is drawn into them.
 But local taxes can be kept from rising and should be. Because of the great and growing necessary expenses of the Federal Government. local taxes have been reduced by millions of dollars by states having such diversified interests as Montana, Nebraska and Michigan, and by millions of dollars, also, by numerous counties in such widely separated commonwealths as Wisconsin, California Illinois, New York and Indiana
 Alaska should take a lesson from the forward-ooking communities that are limit ing local outlays to essentials.
 Governor Gruening strongly urges an n- creased tax program for Alaska He pro poses, too the bonding of the Territory for a million or
 His plans for higher taxation, if put into effect would cause the suspension of many smaller gold-mining enterprises, already experiencing difficulties because of ad- vancng costs of labor and material and higher Federal imposts, without realizing any greater return for output.
 The projects upon which the Governor proposes spending these additional funds can wait Today, all of our unemployed are absorbed in defense construction work. Let Us save our Territorial projects for the post war days when such projects can help to cushion the inevitable depression
 The Governor should concern himself with reducing rather than increasing the cost of Territorial goternment. He should use his influence and high office to encour- age business and industry to keep them going so taxpayers may be able to meet ad- ditional and multifarious taxes, direct and indirect, imposed by the Federal Gov ernment.
 Only by economy at home can Alaska do her full share n helping the Federal es- tablishment meet the national crisis that has resulted from armed conflicts abroad

THURSDAY, OCTOBER

IdOnoDA OClODEU Co
 Benefic aspects rule today which should bring good news to the United States. Stimulating plane tary influences should affect all lines of defense effort. Ir
 HEART AND HOME: Women are well directed under this configura- tion. They should devote attention to whatever is practical and com structive. The stars seem to pres- age radical changes in the aims and customs of American girls. Through experiences brought to the nation through the world war there will be a putting off of manners and customs that have been the outgrowth of luxury and leisure. Women at last will become the equals of men as citizens and that means that they will share work and taxes hazards and responsi- bilities. t''l- BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Astrolo- gers foresee that in this second month of the nations real awak- ening to the fact that the world war has become it's own war, theres will be a trend toward uniform opinions as well as mass efforts regarding defense. No matter what the political point of view mays be- Americans will pull together vah ' antly with. encouraging results, Production will be marvellous a$t business genius demonstrates ~ fs abilities toA perform miracles. 4si NATIONAL ISSUES: PremaWTd discussion regarding postwar poli7, cies will arouse criticism. Persons who read the stars declare that a decade will pass before reconr. struction plans will be workable It is of first importance to secure victory, and probabilities of quick defeat of the Nazi forces are sligate Work and not talk is important this month which is to add to history thrilling chapters that will be written in blood. 'i'>'''a
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: Remembering that the stars merely incline men toward actions which cause world events, astrologefS are. cautious in their predictions. They have emphasized the element of surprise which has proved strong factor in the tactics of Hitler, They now recall predictions of the tragic end of Hitler before the close of 1941. The stars now are ill- omened for world leaders and rul- CTS. In the horoscopes of President Roosevelt, King George and Win ston Churchill are discerned warn ings of danger. Illness from strain and anxiety may thwart activitiess There is also portent of per- sonal attack. 8x .4
 Persons whose birthdate it isi have the augury of year of do- mestic happiness and joy in the association of friends. Human companionship will mean much in hours of international distress.
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be well-balanced, ener- getic and courageous. They may have artistic talents. Both boys and girls will gain through social contacts.

G. L.: I am deeply in love with
a man and I don't know how to
take him. He says he is going
away and I can't understand this.
I went to Florida for a while and
came back and since then I can't
hardly see him. I am so worried.
Ans: Get yourself together and
stop worrying so much for it won't
help you the least bit. When you
went away you seemed to realize
that you did not love this boy you
have in mind, but thought him a
mighty good friend. don't believe
he will mean anything more to you
than what he does right now.
S. H: I have a hurting in my
arm starting from my neck and
runs down my arm every day and
night and it troubles me so much.
Tell me, has homeone hurt me and
what should do about it?
Ans: You should go to Q good
doctor there in your city right
now and see if he can't help you
to overcome this condition. You
have not been hurt by anyone {.
you need medical care and in all
probability the doctor will be able
to help you get relief.
H. A.: I want to go to New
York to get a job and my husband
says he is willing for me to do so.
He said he would keep his job here
until I found something, then he
would join me up there. Tell me
what to do as I am Disguised and
will not stay here much longer.
Ans: A change is what you both
need. There are no children, and
you are a nurse you shouldn't
find it very difficult to get a job
if you make a change to the East.
Wait until the cold weather is over
for you haven't the necessary cloth
ing to wear up where it gets cold.
The change will prove profitable
for you both.

Drexler Recalls Former Effort
Drexler recalled how a similar

"stymied" in committee and never

Terwilliger opposed Drexler's
move to suspend the rules. Drexler

Drexler said he will appear before

fYOu AreOut
To Win

1t takes a little courage
And little self-control,
And some grim determination
If you want to reach the goal.
It takes deal of striving,
And firm and stern set chin,
No matter what the battle
If you're really out to win.
There's no easy path to glory,
There's no rosy road to fame,
Life, however we may view it,
Is no simple parlor game.
But it's prizes call for fighting,
For endurance and for grit,
For a rugged disposition,
You must take a blow or give one
And a don't know when to quit.
You must risk and you must lose
And expect in the struggle,
You will suffer from a bruise.
But you mustn't whine or falter,
If a fight you once begin,
So brave up and face the battle,
That's the only way to win.
