StiIl, We insisted, The huspital was not 'open" as it was, and still is, inadequately staffed and in that sort of comatose levitation where if a nurse becomes i'll, or leaves, patients would have to be sent home, as they were before unless the nurses place could be filled
 This week, 1t was reported, the hospital was caring for eight pat tents and a practical nurse has been added to the staff of day and night nurse. We believe there are not enough words of praise for the gallant nurses who are working extra hours to care for these pat tents and attempting to try to give Wrangell proper nursing care. Only persons who place loyalty to their profession above themselves or monetary return would do it.
 Wrangell will wait expectantly for decision of the Board of Mis- sions as to what the fate of the hospital shall be. If the Board of Missions decides to properly staff and run the hospital the town will be only too happy to lend it's cooperation; if the Board decides to sell or lease it to the city, without strings attached, then whoever comes in to run a hospit- al for the city will reveive the same support
 For the town We thank Bishop Bentley for his latest prompt and decisive action. We know that the Episcopal church, in its Christian endeavors, will base it's decision on its unfailing concern for the wei fare of the people of Wrangell. We hope the answer will not be long in coming.

 Dear Editor:
 While browsing through a copy of The Sentinel not so very long ago. 1 came upon the editorial which paid tribute to those who had joined the colors from Wran- geu, as well as those who served in a civilian capacity. l was read ing my way along when l chanced to see my name entered in a place by itself. Never had I realized that I was considered any different than the rest of the people from home who did their duty in this war which had come to the long prayed-for end. True, as the editor ial said, l hold the Purple Heart and a few other sundry and assort- ed medals and bars, but l would like to say I don't think I am qualified to be mentioned in any higher. esteem than those others who were in the war; especially

THIS isn't guess. A new kind of tire has

1t is made of new kind of synthetic rubber
developed by B. F. Goodrich different from
the ordinary synthetic rubber in general use
by the tire industry. 1t helps the new tire run
cooler-wear better
The new tire has had more than 1000 laboratory
tests. Iaxicab fleets, state police departments
and the B. F. Goodrich test feet have run il
l0,8OO,OOO test miles. Not only does it give
longer tread wear than prewar tires. but it
has more resistance to bruising or damage
from accident.

means longer wear. Engineers had wished for

years to make tread just slightly fatter But
that more desirable shape always set up strains
in the tire body, or carcass" as it is called.
B. F. Goodrich developed an entirely new and
stronger cotton cord, designed it into $500
stronger carcass that stands all these strains
and permits the use of the new fatter, longer
wearing tread.
The tread design is new. 1t is made up of
hundreds of skid-resisting curves for quicker
stops, surer starts-safer driving.
In few weeks these new tires will begin to be
produced in large volume, but supplies may be
limited for quite a while. We have placed our
order, and hope to have our shipment shortly.

From the Columbia Valley In
formation League with headquar-
tiers in Spokane comes a discus
sion of some of the views of that
group on the question of eva.
This is a membership group or
ganized for the express purpose Of
fostering Columbia Valley legisla-
ton and activity. Following is the
article:
The theory Of those opposing
a river valley authority Is that
a three-man board will set up
DICTATORSHIP over the people
in a river valley region. The fact
is that the iva, during the past
twelve years, has proved itself a
cooperative Federal agency. It has
won the commentator Of every
Governor Of every one Of the
seven states where it operates.
STATE RIGHTS
The theory is that q valley au-
thority will override state rights
and set up system of state social
ism. The fact is that IVA, in
twelve years Of operation, has
never overridden or interfered
with any of the rights Of the
states where 1t operates. Every
one Of the seven Governors testify
to this. They declare also that
instead of establishing state Soc
ialism; as the theorists claim. q
valley authority will do, the IVA
has increased opportunities for
free enterprise by supplying cheap
electricity for all purposes.
TAXES
The theory is that valley al-
thority, by taking over private
power property, and assisting pub
lie utility districts and the city
municipal plants to take over pri-
vate power properties, will stop
or curtail the payment Of taxes to
local, state and Federal govern
ment.
The fact is that IVA and the
municipal corporations that have
! taken over private power proper
ties in the Tennessee Valley re-
gion are paying more in lieu Of
taxes than the private companies
formerly paid or that private
companies in other areas now pay.
The private companies claim
they pay "a per cent of their gross
receipts into the local, state and
Federal treasures. This includes
property, income, excess profits
and corporation taxes. It should
be noted here that the Federal
Power Commission reports that
the average total of taxes paid
by private companies is only 1876
per cent instead Of "a per cent
of the gross receipts.
What about IVA? In 1914 It
paid $2,116,000.00 in lieu Of taxes.
The Kennewick courier-reporter. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1939-1949, 1945-07-19
CIV. OPEN FORUM

That was s per cent its gross re-
ceipts. The total taxes paid by
iva and associated public power
properties amounted to $500, 900 90
more than the property taxes pre-
viously paid by the privately
owned companies on the same
properties when under private
ownership. In addition, IVA
paid $14, 000, 10000 into the u. S.
Treasury in 1914. That was 40
per cent of its gross earnings.
Even if we accept the claim by
the private power companies that
they pay "a per cent Of their gross
receipts as taxes instead Of 1875
percent as reported by the Fed
eral Power Commission, the iva
paid 6 per cent in lieu Of property
taxes and 40 per. cent to the Fed
eral Treasury, or 46 per cent, as
compared to "a per cent claimed
to have been paid by the private
power companies.
