HIGHWAY PATROL
CURBS ACCIDENTS

Increased vigilance and a strict
er enforcement of traffic regula-
tons over the Labor Day weekend
by the Wilmington State Highway
Patrol officers, apparently was a
major factor in the no-crash rec
ord in the four counties under the
units charge.
Throughout the country the traf-
fic toll was the highest since Pearl
Harbor with many more autoists
on the road after lifting of gas
rationing. .:.
Sgt. J. R. Smith, patrol head,
This morning was justly proud of
both his organization and the
splendid cooperation received from
motorists who needed the officers
cautioning last week to observe the
IS mile speed limit.
Although traffic was unusual
~ heavy, especially on roads lead
ing to Carolina and Wr;ghtsville
Beaches, Sgt. Smith said, "Vm
happy to report that there were no
accidents, injuries or fatalities. :"
He referred to the entire holiday
period = from Saturday through
Monday. y
The prompt arresting Ct speed
ers and reckless drivers, Of which
there were more than on normal
week-ends, was thought to have
been instrumental in preventing
accidents.
The Wilmington patrol, with
headquarters in the sheriff's office,
serves New Hanover, Brunswick,
Fender and Duplin coutnles.

IL concerns on the Wrightsville
Beach road land on the South end
of Seventeenth street Some of
these concerns such as the j. W.
Jackson Bottling Co., White Ice
Cream and Milk Co., and the
Springer Coal Co., rely on extern
sive use of trucks in their bust
ness. Other smaller businesses
such as laundries in that section,
have a larger number of smaller
trucks. The traffic load on Seven
teenth street would thus be reduc-
ed.
A spokesman for Industrial Pro
perties, Inc, which owns certain
amount of property on Marstelle1
street, has pointed out that the City
certainly would benefit if Dawson
street was improved. Industrial
properties is non-profit organiza
ton which is seeking to encourag &c
new business and industry in Will

The proposed Improvement o:
Dawson street has been described
by some of the City's leading bust
ness men, as well as residents
south of Wilmington las one Of thu
most desirable projects of recen
years.

An Old Educational Problem
cNeW York Timesl


 The dispute continues as to whether education should prepare students meet definite and expected situations, whether it should develop their pow and personalities that they can cope with any situation whatsoever, including the unexpected. One can't say that this dispute ragged at the educational conference held in Times Hall recently. for hot words passed, and the views taken by Presidents Warren of Sarah Lawrence and Dodds of Princeton. by Professor Lindeman of Columbia and by Dr. Van Doren not mutually exclusive The question was of emphasis. President Warren and Dr. Lindeman seemed to lay emphasis vocational train ing; President Dodds believed that the ideal of the liberal arts college ought to be "an educated person, not skilled person: Dr. Van Doren spoke up for the flexible mind not necessarily stuffed with facts and figures, but able to deal with them like eff ficient instrument. Agf tc413 tEcr Actually a great universty--Cornelrfo instance, whose president sDr Edmund E. Day, acted mod orator at the raeeting-has in it's colleges departments fof both these sets of views. It may educate in the broad sense may produce sklls and more often it makes an effort to educate while pro- ducirg skills. The liberal arts college tends to concentrate on the broader aims of education. Its special danger is that will fail fit the education the student and that it will disguise this failure by making "characterp it's hallmark No doubts that character" is good thing It merely happens to be hard to meaSure- Perhaps the real trend of the future at ali stages of education is toward neither the spractcal'anor the ideal but toward greater attention tothe needs and powers of each individual Education may have to be custom-taiereds rather ] than ready-rnade. With higher schooling through the college level becoming as common as high school training generation ago. the difficulties will be many and the money cost considerable. But the for thinking the basis of other sorts of totatarianism, is ndividualized thinking. and if America is to continue it's hunanistic and individual stic tradition it is for this end will have work

Frank Marshalls Alaska Territorial Federation o Labor Bulletin for February: T have just received copy of the income tax proposal for Alaska presented by MT Gordon of Fairbanks, in the Senate as s. B. g. It is I am told Ia fine piece of tax structure, and would provide a great amount of the necessary income for the Terri tory, without undue hardship on the wage earners It is similar to the Federal tax and provides withhold ing features and would not cost the with wife any tax with income under s4 GOO plus S200 exemption for each dependent"
 This little item of gross msstatenent is followed by this:
 There is the usual amount of conniving going on and attempts have been made to throw the Labor interests into a taspin."
 Ain't it the truthl
 Take MT Marshals comment on the income tax bill.
 Nowhere in the bill is there any provision for "s2O0 exemption" for dependents. married man, making less than S40O0 a year would pay a tax in practically all instances.
 If the married makes between s2,OOo and s4oOO he pay $40 tax plus 22 percent of all he makes over S2,000.
 Say he makes S4000 He is allowed first of all a deduction of 10 percent s4oO This leaves s3,6oo. His tax is $40 plus 22 percent of s16O0 dhe amount over $2OOO, or a total of $752O From this computed tax he is allowed an exemption for himself of S20 and is also allowed $2O for his wife
 His tax is S3520.
 For each dependent he would be allowed s2O each, not S2O0
 Individuals, under this bill would pay s30OOO0 year to the Territory which is not paid The yield from corporations would be minus figure. Corporations certainly should back the bill.
 Resident labor would pay than the non- resident seasonal" labor, since MT. Harsch states that the rate applicable to seasonal workers would be less than percent"

PROPOSED INCOME TAX

According to the testimony of Dr. Alfred Harsch, author of the proposed net income tax bill for Alaska as far as We can the Territory hope to get more if this bill is made law but another large bureau and if we're lucky about sloo0O0 year to take Of all these new agencies which the Legislature is being flooded with. .st-
 Harsch told members of the Senate that indi- viduals would probably pay about s4oO0OO per year under this tax But credited against this would be 1the S10o0oo annual payments under the school poll tax Individuals would thus pay into the Territory's coffers about ss0o0OO year more than they are pay ing now
 The tax bill authors estimate of the amount poratons would pay varied between s3OOOOO and S50O,0OO annually
 Taking the highest figure credits for Federal licenses taxes would be allowed about s3OOOOo yearly, plus the loss of Territorial license taxes which the law repeas about s2860O0 year., which gives you loss of sS6OOO in collecting the from corporations even f the highest anticipated amount is obtained
 Subtract this from the s3oOOOo taken from indi- viduals and you get s214Oo01
 However the bill provides appropriation of sl25ooO for the biennium for administration and ar other Sl0OO0o for refunds F Halye these two amounts to get the figures for the year and you find you have another SIP 800 to subtract from your s2i4OO0. This leaves you with slol,5o0 left over.
 And if the anticipated tax revenue from corpora tions should be at the lower of the figures given as estimates, the Territory would out about sl0o000 behind in the deal Even taking the halfway mark in the new income tax which corporations might pay, you might break even.
 And we should remember that this would enly be possible because individuals corporations, would be paying about s3OOooO a year more in taxes than at present.
 This, evidently is what is known as broadening the tax base
 Some spokesmen trying to hand this tax bill to the laboring man in sugar-coated pill For instance, take the following discussion as seen in

 So the Diplomats who have sat closeup to the Dumbarton Oaks negotiations think that Roosevelt may have to return from the Big Three talks forced to accept Staiin's veto of who shall be an aggressor. ak
 If that is the case, the Presi- ent's current difficulties with the Senate over confirmation of Henry Wallace as Secretary Of Commerce will be mild compared with at tempts to secure Senate ratification of his peace negotiations with Stalin. Also the return of the Am erican public toward imperialistic isolation will be sorely tempting.
 That is why the future peace of the world hangs so precariously in the hands of the Big Three" 1 Note-Many diplomats have won- dered why the President didn't drive tougher bargain three and four years ago with Stalin and Churchill when the trump cards were in his hand. The answer, ac- cording to close friends, is that CD FDR. felt Russia and Britain were actually fighting our war, thus giving us more time to pre- pare; @ F.DR. can be very stub- born when riled, but day in and day out he likes to get along with people, didn't like to be in drastic opposition to Stalin and Churchill, (3) Harry Hopkins, who sat con- stantly at his elbow, leaned ever further than FDR. toward all-out conciliation.

With the belief that returning sol diers will expect intelligent under standing of current events and will be bored by home trivialities, wives and mothers will seek information under careful teachers.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS = Certain signs seem to presage repeated manifestations of class prejudices where capitalists are entrusted with important government respOnsibili- ties. Application of financial knowl- edge and big business experience to national affairs will be resented owing to political bias and warped judgment 4n fos n
 NATIONAL ISSUES - Freedom of speech is likely to be discussed with widespread concern. Censor ship is under a planetary influence which promises release from ham pering methods that suppress im- portant news.

DUMBARTON ON ROCKS

Tie Dumbarton Oaks Conference nearly split to pieces over this point. Finally, when pressure was put on the Russians, they threat ened to put IS members, including all the Soviets satellite states, in the United Nations
 This would give the Russians 16 votes, one fo reach Soviet Republic, just as the British Dominions were all represented in the League of Nations.
 This is the hardest problem Roosevelt faces. Today Russia is in a position to dominate not only the Balkans, Hungary, Austria, and Czechosloyakia, but also Germany. Stalin was far-sighted enough to organize a committee of 10000 Ger mans inside Russia, already trained to take over the new German Government Politically--and also militarily-most of Europe will be dependent upon him.
