LABOR OPPOSITION

Representatives May, ThomaSon, and Ham Andrews of New York, ranking Republican on the House Military Affairs Committee, all advised the President that the amended bill could be passed i'll the House, but admitted it would pass only by the narrowest of margins. Andrews, who will sup port the bill, said he cannot count on more than four votes among the II Republican members of the Military Affairs Committee. He added the proportion will be no better, if as good, among Republi- cans generally when the full House votes on the bill.
 Democrats May and Thomson reported the pressure against the bill from Labor and Farm groups has been terrific. They are con- yinced there is strong sentiment in favor of a National Service Act from the families of servicemen but they don't believe this pres sure has been felt as strongly as

The reason of course in normal times, is because he can't get a job To get more workers to spend all year in Alaska need more jobs To get more jobs we need more industry and more capital. To attract industry we certainly don't need more business taxes
 So far we have some canneries, some mining enterprises some numbering industries started up here Any of these could be ruined by taxes It seems to us we should hold on to what have and try to attract
 We didn't like the Governors enticement to the canned salmon industry to help put the pressure on the representatives in the Legislature for the new taxes-and by doing practically guarantee the canneries of no more taxes. That seems to to be selling out the people.
 Had I've adopted this tax proposed fours years ago. says the Governor, i've would have financial problem today"
 Just what is this great financial problem9 Two years ago he bawled the 943 Legislature out in his report to Secretary Ickes for failing to anticipate the obvious needs of the future in |. reforming the inadequate tax structure to meet impending de-
 Well--what happened to the deficits? We seem to remember that the Territorial Treasurer has been reporting surpusage in the Treasury for some time And we have some socked away in bonds, too.
 Of course if the SO000 residents of Alaska are expected to support bureaus and schemes that even though they are appealing could be supported only by governmental unit of several million people -then--of will need all of the taxes get-and we'll always need more
 Just word about the veterans who will be re- turning. The Governor asks to visualize, to imagine in all it's aspects, the return to civilian life of our young men, many of whom have served under conditions of unparalleled hardship for long years 3
 There's no argument theres All of us want to do all we can for these men, But we also visualize these men coming back to face such tax program as is proposed by the Governor. We should remember that what these men want most is to shed their uniforms and take their place again in civilian life WheH they shed their uniforms they want to become once again just plain ordinary Alaskans And they'll have to pay these taxes too The Federal Government is providing many things to help these men return to civilian life. And Alaskans-who also pay Federal taxes-are paying their share and they don't need to feel that they aren't.
 This Legislature faces the problem that the last sixteen sessions have faced since 1913 The recommended budget is always than anticipated revenues It shouldn't take any work the part of the Seventeenth Session than in the past to do plenty of trimming on this budget.

LOVE ALASK KA-TAX TT

Governor Ernest Gruenings message to the Leg islature today probably one of the longest on recod-and of the finest pieces of expert political workmanship that has been witnessed in this neck of the woods Since the Governor to Alaska he has been doing his darndest to revise our patchwork and inadequate tax system tthough it seems to be paving the bills without too much trouble to date) and we would like say that this afternoons speech was a masterpiece effort.
 There are a few things we would like to discuss.
 He proposes an income tax on individuals, cor porate income business, general property tax throughout Alaska.
 First of alive wonder if many Alaskans aren't paying just about as much as the pocketbook can stand now to help pay the cost of the war. The Governors remarks about soaking it to the workers who are up here on defense jobs, and who scurry back to the States with their cash, misleading. The same goes for the remarks about the seasonal cannery workers who spend their winters Outside Plain, ordinary, genuine Alaskans will have to pay these taxes, too In the long they'll shoulder the load Alaskan businessmen, small and large, property owners, small and large, will have to pay through the nose. too.
 You can't discriminate on taxes.
 The Governor asks the reasons man might give for living in Alaska. Many people love Alaska it's freedom, it's abundance .. etc.
 But it seems to us that these new taxes the Gov ernor proposes certainly will be for new expressions of affection As matter of fact, many tender attachments might be divorced by taxes
 The Governor gives various reasons why the seasonal worker does not winter in the Territory

in Missouri, "he was born between ] the blow handles of, a Jackson County farm," did Harry Truman ever expect to rise to the second highest office in the land
 His history is from farm to drug store to haberdashery to the Army to a local judgeship under the Kansas City machine to Vice President. Harry will tell you he can't believe it himself
 Ten years ago when Truman entered the Senate, his fellow freshmen included such spectacular names as Schwellenbach of Wash 1 ington, Minton of Indiana and Burke of Nebraska. Today the first two have retired to the obscurity of the Federal Bench, while Burke is a lobbyist for the coal operators. No one ever heard of Truman 10 years ago. No one hears of his three colleagues now. oa ef
 Truman got where he is in the Senate through following two rules plus generous supply of luck. The first rule was to be loyal, the second rule was to be fair.
 The new e-President has never swerved in his loyalty to those who made him. When Boss Tom Pendergast of Kansas City was sent to jail and everyone else was damning him, Harry stepped forward in his defense. With equal ly answering devotion he has always been loyal to Roosevelt.
 But at the same time, Republi- can Senators like Ferguson of Michigan and Brewster of Maine will tell you when it comes to the war. Truman has leaned over backward not to let politics inter fere with his job of cleaning up war scandals.
 He has tried to be fair. Time after time, exposure by the Tru- man Committee of Jesse Jones linexcusable delays in producing rubber or failure to plan for all cohol and gasoline. have cracked the Roose Administration squarely over the knuckles.

tfsi FDR'S BIG ot i, CABINET PROBLEM

When AFL President Bill Green and other AFL leaders left the White House early this week they were very secretive about what they had discussed with F'DR. However, here is the inside story of what happened. It indicates that up until three days before he was inaugurated presiden of the United States for his fourth term, Roosevelt still was struggling with the thorny problem of whom to appoint Secretary of Labor.
 Accompanying Bill Green to the White House were AFL Secretary George Meany and Harry Bates, head of the powerful Construction Workers Union. Seated with the President, Green told him that the entire aAFE Nesecutives board had beens carefully canvassed, was unanimously behind Dan Tobin of the Teamsters' Union for .Secre- tdIy foi A9poi- s Sss Nd
 That's fine, Bill,H replied the President, but can you get Phil Murray to go along on that?"
 MT. President, we want someone from the ranks of labor, and To- bins the man for the job, whether Phil Murray wants him or not, answered Green.
 "Ill appoint anyone who has the unanimous backing of the labor movement" replied the President Frances wants to get out, and I'd like to let her go if we can all agree on someone to replace her
 Green agreed with FDR it was doubtful if Phil Murray would go along on Tobin's selection. The AFT leader the masked Roosevelt who else was in line for the job
 The President replied he would like to appoint John Winant, nov U. s. Ambassador to Great Britain
 But" he added, Ines too valu. able where he is.'
 In the end, Green, Meany ano Bates left the White House con, vinced that Miss Perkins would re. main as Secretary of Labor. Mean while she has rented an apart. ment in New York and has mad, all plans to leave.
 NOTE-Chief CIO objection t, Tobin is the blast which tn, Teamsters Union magazine levelet at the PAC after election. Tobii also refused to go along with Phi Murray's pet project of bandin the AFL and the CIO with tn rest of the World Trade Uniol Movement in a big new world labo : federation.

on the Senate Committee, also agreed it would be best now to let the House continue working on the May Bill which provides for labor battalions for 4-Fs aged Is to 45.
 The President finally agreed to this, with the understanding that before the May Bill is reported to the House an amendment calling for national service of all men between Is and 60, not merely 4-F's, will be offered. This is in line with last years bill by Sen ator Austin and Representative Wadsworth of New York.

SECOND CALVIN COOLIDGE

In more ways than one, Harry Truman is like Calvin Coolidge. He comes from the same backwoods origin. He seldom makes speeches on the Senate floor. He is thrifty, remembers the days when the drugstore paid him s3 a week.
 But more than anything else Truman has the same brand of Coolidge political luck. The lightn- ing hit Cal first during the Boston police strike, later when the party bosses in the smoke-filled room at the Blackstone Hotel wanted a good compromise President tc go with Harding.
