LAND FOR VETERANS

Land grants for returning war veterans has always oeen an American tradition At the end of the Revo lutionary War soldiers made homes the frontier beyond the Allegheny passes The frontier had moved further west after the Civil War but the procedure was repeated. And at the close of the last World War the same offer was made but not taken up because the makeup of the nation had changed from rural to urban with approximately 75 percent of the people making their living in cities.
 Today the idea of farms for returning veterans is again being promoted, and today the only real frontier left the United States is the Territory of Alaska Whether the tight-fsted Department of the Interior will loosen up and offer some land to the soldiers don't know Rep. Harvey J. Smith Of Anchorage during the last session of the Territorial Legislature pettoned Congress to make land grants to all who wanted them but nothing has been done along this line so far know to date.
 There is not much suitable land left for such purposes in the continental United States today A few areas where dam construction has made irrigation possible and the scrawny cut-over lands of the North Central States will be hardly enough.
 However action has been taken by both Federal and State agencies. Montana, South Dakota,

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER E

Benefic aspects dominate today which should be most favorable to our naval movements. The stars encourage initiative on the high seas.
 HEART AND HOME: Although the American husband will continue to be the most generous and most indulgent of men, he will find less dependence on the part of his wife after the war. The trend toward the economic independence of women will affect all classes of society. Many who had been ac- customed to leisurely living will engage in professional and busi- ness activities.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Before the end of the month honorably dis charged servicemen in large num- bers will apply for positions which they formerly held. New problems for employers and the women who have replaced men will be trouble some, but the stars indicate that they will be wisely solved.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: After wide spread campaigning by national legislators, there is a probability that election results will be sur prising and contradictory, the seers forecast. The odds are in favor of Congressional candidates who are now in office
 INTERNATIONAL AZ F A I R s: Hidden stren h will protract fighting by the Japanese, 1t is pre- saged. The signs read as indicating surprises and sudden crises should not be ignored. Secret aid from Ger many will be revealed after Hit ler's defeat, which should not be far off.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury Of year of success marked by new associations. Over confidence and impatience should be checked
 Children born on this day prob ably will be courageous to the point of 'recklessness, ambitious, talented and generally fortunate.

The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-09-12

FDR and Stevenson talked about the problem of reconverting Texas war plants, one of which in Austin had closed on the day Coke left Texas. Then they got around to the real subject-TeXas politics.
 The President had seen an opinion by William Flippen, promi- nent Texas attorney, that the Dallas convention would have the right to select a new group o1 Texas electors, busting the anti Roosevelt electors chosen in May The President also knew that his friends in Texas had 7l0 votes pledged out of the 1850 coming to Dallas, and that they were con- fident they could put the new pro- Roosevelt electors across.
 So he suggested to Stevenson that they clean out the old elect ors and get a new list. But the Governor demurred. He argued ill favor of a compromise plan where by two lists of electors would be on the ticket-one list for Roose- velt, one list against him, so the voter could take his choice.
 Stevenson talked convincingly, said he had talked things over with Vice President Wallace, that Wal lace had invited him to come to Washington, and that he felt con- fident he could straighten every thing out with his compromise if the President would leave things to him
 So the President, faced with this promise from the Governor of the state and preoccupied with war problems he was to discuss with Churchill, argued no more.
 Stevenson got the definite i'm presSion that the President ac- quiesced and, when he got back to Texas, so informed his friends The Stevenson Wallace compro- mise of two sets of electors on the ballot was said to have received the White House blessing.

TAX Bull 0KAYED
BY SENATE GROUP

WASHINGTON, May 16-tRAThe
income tax bill adj
vanced another step toward final
congressional approval today while
a movement to reduce the tax on
night clubs bumped into Treasury
opposition.
The income tax simp1ification
bill, directing that Uncle Sam fig
ure the taxes of about 10000, 600
wage and salary earners and pro-
viding a less complicated return
for other taxpayers, received unan-
imous approval of the Senate FL
nance Committee. Chairman
George D-GA( said he would call
it up in the Senate Friday and
predicted speedy passage. It then
will go back to the House for ac-
ton on technical changes made by
the Senate committee.
The Treasury's opposition to
lowering the night club tax at this
time was made known in letter
To the House Ways and Means
Committee, which is considering a
proposal by Rep. Knutson (R-
Mimi to cut it to 10 percent.
The tax was raised from 5 to 80
nercent on April l, and Knutson
said that as result night club
business had fallen off, causing
hundreds of entertainers to lose
their jobs and threatening many
clubs with bankruptcy.
