Rusty Huerline, Alaskan artist who spent last winter in Nome, is credited with saving many lives during the recent ep- idemic of influenza in Point Bar row. All nurses except one were ill, and "Rusty" worked tirelessly distributing "sulfa" tablets.
 Very few of the whites sta toined at Barrow were afflicted with the hospital was filld with the natives. The only nurse on deck at the hospital, was unable to leave to attend the sick in their homes, so Rusty 'Huerline was dispatched to care for them.
 By starting fires in the homes of the villagers and seeing to it that the villagers took their med iicne and plenty of water, it is believed that many lives were saved.

IMPENDING DEFICIT''

What is taking plahe in the Legislature now might be termed:
 How to create an im- pending deficit in the Ter ritory's financial position in 50 easy lessons"
 Enough new agencies and bureaus and high-sal- aried jobs would be creat- ed by a multitude of pro- posed laws to run any State into debt. And at the same time, practically non atntempt is being made to cut down or eliminate some practically worthless ex- penditures.
 We believe this to be a fact:
 An impending deficit may be created as a burden on any governmental unit through the simple process of proposing enough things for which tax money may be spent-and it need not

 Some needs are greater function of the lawmakers to attempt to lessen these needs first to the ability of the tax base to pay.
 These needs in Alaska are being satisfied slowly, as they are in other Ter ritories and States. Ter ritorial biennial appropri- ations are now double what they were 10 yearsI ago.. and at the same time, Fed eral taxes paid by individ- uals and corporations in the Territory are the high est in history.
 The proposed income tax bill supposedly would ac- complish overnight what the Territory has accom- plished in the last 10 years. Actually, as We see it, the bill if enacted into law would add nothing to the Territory's income, but would, if the estimates of the author are correct, pos sibly subtract $100,000.
 Now a property tax, similar to that used in cit ies to supply revenue for municipal functions, would be imposed upon those liv- ing outside of cities. The Governor states in his mes sage that this would "equalize the existing un- fairness of having flask ans who live in the incor- porated towns pay property taxes while those just out side =. do not.
 Of course this bill would take in not only those who live "just out side," but all property owners outside of towns.
 The city levies taxes on those who live inside their boundaries, and it's resid- ents pay these taxes, be- cause they get in return all of the advantages which living in a city offers-the public schools, paved streets, parks, police pro- lection, fire protection, libraries. Most State governments, we believe reserve this source of tax ation for the local com- munities. Are We forget ting that the people who live outside of incorporat- od oitiac dO nOt have the

The West Coast
Academies

cENATOR THEODORE G. BILBO, Democrat of
- Mississippi, has introduced bill in the y. S.
Senate to establish permanent military and naval
academies, supplementing the existing institutions
at West Point and Annapolis, on the Pacific Coast
and in the gulf area.
Nearly all previous sponsorship of the per-
fectly logical proposal that army and navy officer
training facilities should be permanently estab-
ished within the areas of the nations greatest and
most vital military and naval concentrations has
originated on the Pacific Coast.
Consequently, although neither rightfu1ly nor
logically, the proposition has been resisted and
attacked as one of SECTIONAL advantage.
Senator Bibo's advocacy of the program puts
emphasis upon and should compel universal recog-
milton of the essential fact that it is of tremendous
NATIONAL advantage and interest
The Pacific seaboard is the vast marshaling
yard for the American armed forces IN the war
with Japan and will ALWAYS be the focal point
of national danger in the future and MUST be the
site of our major facilities oftdefense.
Our greatest military, naval and aviation
bases must of necessity be established and main
tanned on the Pacific seaboard.
Our greatest concentrations of military and
naval and air forces will inevitably be there.
WHY is it not logical and sensible, and elemental
w and mandatory as well, that the training of
officer personnel should be undertaken in con-
junction with these vital concentrations and not
remote from them?
The facilities of West Point and Annapolis,
while competent enough within their limitations,
have been entirely inadequate for the present war
as the great but temporary officer training
establishments now in operation throughout the
country attests.
They will continue to be inadequate AFTER
the war, for as Senator Bilbo says:
Congress will undoubtedly enact legislation
to provide for universal military training.
with million and half youths yearly TAX
ing such training, it is necessary that we have
experienced officers to instruct them.
ut is evident to any one analyzing the situa-
ton that our two service schools at West Point and
Annapolis are totally inadequate to train anything
like the necessary number of officers that we
must have.
"The additional service schools that propose
are IMPERATIVE. and they should be in opera
ton by the end of the war"
