Seven Passengers Arriving from Seattle After
 Test Completed

Carrying it's largest load of pas sengers since it's inaugural flight, a PAA Lodestar is scheduled to land in Juneau this afternoon from Se- attle with seven passengers aboard All passengers are booked through to Fairbanks.
 Passengers are H. Hefflinger, T Rosander, John White, J. A. Korba Brick Jacobs, Sam Mcclellan and A H. Stone. The ship is carrying mail and express.
 On previous runs, the ship, part of fleet of three Lodestars used by PAA. on the Alaska run, had been limited to few passengers. Tester day, however, check run was con- pleted in a Lodestar which carried the test flight to Fairbanks, and then from the Interior to Seattle in eight hours and Is minutes. It is thought that todays record load of passengers on the plane is direct result of an extremely successful se- ries of survey flights made by CAA officials in the Pan-American Air ways plane

and Representatives took their re- responsibilities and their task seri- ously. But the net result was that, though passed by the House in a much weakened form, the personal and corporate income tax Dill re- ceived virtually no consideration in the Senate, while the property tax bill never was even presented to it's committees in the House. This program, however is now before the people of Alaska and it's represen-
 tativeS-thoSe now in office and those who may be elected to office in
 September, 1942. Therefore, there will be very opportunity in the in-
 tervening two years for anyone who really desires to do so to become &C.,
 quainted with Alaska's financial
 problems, with its present sources of revenue, with the inequities and in- sufficiencies of the pr e ent tax structure, and with the serious pro- posals that have been made to inn prove the situation and to provide a
 moderate, sound, equitable tax sys- tenn which will furnish the revenues necessary to operate the affairs of our Territory, and to insure its growth, development and prosperity"

 Owing to the present manage ment of City operations" Lucas said, the Council has been able to set up fine cash balance in the treasury. We feel that the invest ment the people made in local inn provements in the past two years should produce some profit. We therefore stand ready to pay d dividend to the people in the re- duction of taxes this year. We see no reason why this cannot be done, without impairing any other ex- pense of operation of the City"
