The MILK
QUESTION

Juneau, Alaska-To the Editor OF
the Empire-It is folly to believe
that upon all questions the opin-
ions of all men should weigh equal
ly Upon the adoption or rejection
of pasteurized milk policy for the
City of Juneau, obviously only those
disinterested doctors, bacteriologists
and scholars who have studied the
problems are competent to render
valid counsel
If the herds which make up the
Juneau milk are Bangs disease, tu-
berculosis and undulate fever free
then raw milk may be safely used
If such health conditions have not
yet been established, then it is the
duty of the City Council to insist
ON the sale Of pasteurized milk
only.
Raw milk is better for the body if
1t is entirely pure, but pasteurized
milk is more likely to be pure.
tSigned) RALPH ERICKSON.

security for the aged, and stated
that in the National Capital favor
able comment was frequently heard
about the Territory of Alaska being
in advance of the States in such
progressive legislation.
The Governor reviewed at some
length Anticipated and inadequate
tax laws of Alaska which permitted
individuals and corporations with
headquarters Outside to avoid their
Legitimate tax obligation to the Ter
ritory. He deplored the seasonal
character of migratory employment
which permitted thousands from
