law. The appropriation for the care of Alaska insane for the present fiscal year is s273,000. This cost would be the same under Statehood.
 We might avoid a small portion Of the costt of transportation now involved under the present arrange ments for having the insane of Al aska cared for in Oregon, but this would undoubtedly be much more than offset by the additional cost required to care for the insane in the Territory, to say nothing of the very considerable amount of capi- tai expenditure which would be re- Quired if We had to build and equip our own asylums in the Territory.
 Before concluding the Commit tee desires to call attention to the fact that all of the present States of the Union are contiguous one to the other. Alaska would be a non contiguous state and on account of it's geographical position, it would be deprived of certain revenues which are obtained in every other State through gasolinte axes.
 In California, for instance, the gasoline tax, before the outbreak of the present war, amounted to S52,- O0O,00O a year. A considerable DOT tion of this was levied on motorists who drove into the State from other

 We should certainly acquire no sources of revenue while at the same time requiring a great ly increased budget. This could only be attained by very drastic increases of present taxes and by the lexy of additional taxes. Any Legislature of the State of Alaska would be very reluctant to materially increase the. burden of taxation so long as it| can be avoided. This is so because. of the heavy tax demands of the

current agitation for turning over to the exclusive use of the Indians along the coast the most valuable fisheries under asserted ancient tribal rights. This matter has not been before considered, although it is of very great importance because of the fact that the claims now be- ing put forward on behalf of the Indians are approved by some
 branches of the Federal Govern ment, and if they are successful, it would deprive the Federal Govern ment, under the present state of af- fairs, and the State, if Alaska were created one, from exercising any regulations whatsoever over most of the area in Southeastern Alaska where salmon fishing is now carried on. This also applies to the game ini those areas.
 The Committee feels that thoseI who think through the problem raised by the introduction of the.

the years of readjustment following
 the war when ten or twelve million men are discharged from the Armed Forces and ten or fifteen million others are released from war pro- duction it may well be that there would be an influx of population here, but far from being a desirable thing. it may place an additional financial burden on the territorial We have been through periods before, within our memory, when thousands of men eane 10 the Territory for whom there was no and who were not in position to contribute to he develop ment of anything in Alaska, and many hundreds of whom, in most of the large towns, required to be fed by the federal, territorial and local governments. Such an influx might we'll be a liability and not at all an asset.
 In this report the Committee has not attempted to cover every item of additional expense which would most surely deyolve upon a future State, but we feel that we must not overlook some mention of the care of the insane.

Federal Government, which We know must and will continue for generations. Several States have al- ready curtailed their expenditures and cut down State taxes, and. in several instances, abolished alto gether State Income Taxes. because of the very drastic federal levies which are made necessary in this time of war.
 Alaska is benefiting from these federal expenditures. Vast sums have been spent here and are con- tinuing to be spent and our per manent benefit from these eXpend- itures will consist largely of per manent improvements such as new roads, landing fields. harbor and warehouse facilities, etc. but we are still in the position of having to discover and develop additional re- sources before we can assimilate any considerable number of new residents who would in turn have to build up taxable aceumulations of wealth before there will be any additional tax sources.
 Whether there will be an in- flux of population after the war, is again speculation; but if there is in the States, or some millions of men are out of employ ment, as seems very likely during

 Territorial legislatures have all ways refused to levy a general gas oline tax because the chief burds of the tax would fall upon fisher men. and when these were exempt ed. the revenue obtainable would not be worth considering. There is no reason to believe that a State legislature would take a differene view or be able to produce revenue from this source or from any other source which is not now available 10 the Territory as such.
 The opinion of the Committee is that the time has not yet arrived for Alaska to be admitted into the Union as a State, and that all ef- forts to pass the pending Bill should be suspended at least until the present war is ended and until we can see more clearly the conditions which are likely to confront us.

Writes:

The Tulsa and Little Rock cham
bers of commerce may be wrong on
their facts. After all, they and
their follow citizens in Oklahoma
and Arkansas have been under a
big strain, as thousands of acres
Of good farmland and the homes
OF thousands of people were flood
ed by the rampaging Arkansas riV-
er But they have made charges
which deserve TO be investigated
thoroughly and impartially
These business men allege that
the greatest flood in a century, in
their area, was intensified by inn
proper use of a dam that was built
with public moneys for the express
purpose of controlling floods. They
believe that conditions would have
been better if there had been no
control dam at all The story,
briefly, is this:
The Pensacola dam on Grand
river, a tributary of the Arkansas,
was built to maintain a 735-foot res
ervoir of water for making electric
ity, with 20 feet of depth left free
to restrain excess waters that 9TH
erWise would contribute to floods.
But because certain railroad facili-
ties and highways have not been
removed only $50 feet of water can
be retained in the reservoir. This
Imperial Valley press., 1943-06-13

automatically destroys one-fourth
of the dams potential effectiveness
against floods.
Now comes the rub. The cham
bers OF commerce allege that, in or
der TO make more electricity, the
power pool was raised an additional
10 feet, which destroyed another
half of the dams anti-flood capac-
ity.
Then came a flood-a bad one. IF
there had been 20 feet Of storage,
for which the people had paid, or if
there had been even 10 feet of stor-
age, the Pensacola dam would have
held all the excess water.
But because power had been made
the primary objective of the devel-
opment, and not merely an incident,
four feet of water had to be dump
ed into the stream that swept down
the Arkansas Valley, isolated Fort
Smith without water supply, also
cut off the water supply of Camp
Robinson, large army post, broke
Big Inch-and critically important
petroleum pipeline to the East-and
caused huge damage that not only
is tragic to the individuals con-
cerned but that will reduce the pro-
duction of much needed crops this

New Motor Laws Passed
BY Last Legislature

The last session of the Mon
tana Legislature passed Ia W 8
which contained several changes
and additions to our traffic laws.
Most notable among these were
t h e requirements that drivers
slowing down, stopping or chang
ing direction in traffic, use the
arm signals that are prescribed
by the National Safety Council,
namely; for right turn. left
hand and arm extended upward;
for a left turn, left hand and arm
extended horizontally or straight
out from the shoulder; to slow
down or stop, left hand and arm
extended downward.
The law also requires that a
driver overtaking another car
and intending to pass said car
shall sound his horn as a signal
of his wish and intention to pass.
If our people will learn to OBJ
serve this regulation it will save
many resr-end collisions. 8 d e
swipes and bent tenders, to say
nothing of the added protection
to life and limb that it will afford.
Another section forbida anyone

riding on the outside of a car,
that is. on the Tenders, running
boards, hood or other part of the
car not intended to carry passen-
gers. The reason for this is
quite apparent. Ea C h year a
number of persons are killed and
injured by hanging onto the out
SIDE of a car.
Still another section provide
that cars overtaking another car
at night shall dim their lights
when their high beam strikes the
car in front. This is for the rea-
son that bright lights from be-
hind are confusing to the driver
of the car ahead and are danger
Gus, especially on crooked or
mountainous roads.
Another section forbids anyone
under the influence of intoxicat-
ing liquor from walking, riding
a horse or driving a team on the
highway. So far this wear, we
h ave h a d eleven pedestrians
killed on the highways and six
of them were under the influence
of liquor. No one who has been
drinking should ever walk o n
