tion Act"

concerning ourselves with various
abuses to veterans of World War
ii, it has come to my attention
that hundreds Of thousands Of dol
lars are due 10 the veterans Of

well run into millions"
The Congressman explained that
Adjusted Service Certificates
were issued to veterans of World
War under Section sol Of the
World War Adjusted Compensa-
tlon Act, to mature twenty years
after the date OF the certificates
making them redeemsble on and
after January l, l945."
LATER. under Public No. AS,

were declared to be immediately
payable, in bonds in multiples Of
$50, carrying 5 per cent interest
and maturing June Is. lS45, and
the balance due the veteran pay
able in cash.
This act required that applica-
tion for redemption of certificate
by issuance OF bonds could De
made only up TO the maturity date
OF the original certificate. Unless
such redemption was made there
was nothing on which to draw In
tereSt
Veterans who did not convert
their certificates into bonds before
the 20-yesr period expired lost
their right to apply for conversion
into bonds and thereby lost the
Interest which would have been
payable on the bonds had they been

We were browsing through the journal of Alaskas first session of the Territorial Legislature the other day and came across interesting comments on the Alaska of 1913 which believe isn't eco- nomicaly different than today in that Alaska is still a pioneer country and needs a great deal of new industrial development.
 The comments those of Governor Walter E. Clark There had just been change in the national administration and Governor Clark was on the way out so he spoke probably a little more truthfully and with more frankness than he might have.
 At that time, it should be remembered Alaska had been granted the right to establish the present limited self-government We had a territorial gov ernment but no money to pay for it and also no treasury upon which the first Legislature could draw for money necessitated by way of it's measures The need for revenue by taxation the prime problem.
 First of all, Governor Clark said that the extent of new taxation should be measured carefully to meet only the most pressing requirements of economical public expenditure" something which wouldn't do at all in this day and age of social legislation or whatever you want to call it.
 T venture to give warning" he continued, "of the dangerous folly of taxation in frontier country where the needs of government easily incline us to forget that burdensome expenses will quickly check pioneer development.
 Ut is a cardinal principles of all just and wise
