PROPOSED HIGHWAY ACT

We are in receipt of letter from a Fairbanks resident who says "our lawmakers in Juneau are after the trucks and truck drivers again with new law" lie refers of course to the proposed highway act which YVES introduced in the Legislature last year and which should according to Governor Gruening be passed during the coming special session to pay the expenses of the session.

A Tradition Shattered
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Although compelled to change rapidly in respect to weapons and other technical equipment the Navy has been reluctant to upset firmly established traditions the enlisted mans uniform But the war demon strated the complete impracticabity of the tight jumper and bell-bottom trousers The total absence of pockets alone constituted 8 heavy indictment of the time -honored costume.
 Neither blue woolen stuff nor white twill is a suitable material for working uniform; and as a result blueackets in wartime went to sloveny tropical green fatigue uniforms to dungarees. At home, belbottomed trousers remained in evidence to provide the theme for catchy song. But where the war was the sailofmans outfit of British and American tra- dition virtually unknown.
 Now it appears that the wheels of the Navy are turning and wholly set of uniforms is the way It is high time. Youngsters just out of high school may have liked the novelty of a skin-tight blouse with one pocket almost large enough for a pack of paper matches; the laced, noppy trousers which look well enlistment posters But the grown up who fought the at had come to feel, in the main that theirs a little boys costume And that is the real why the Adlnras their wisdom finally signed the death warrant of the sailor suit.
 So long as it serves the ends of discipline builds morale. tradition needs to be chershed-whether it tury Spain, the Belgian Congo When it ceases to purpose, and actually mpars morale military tradition is ready for the discard Some will depore the passing of the photogenic sailor suit But those who feel that way will not be men who it.

U. S. sTEEL,s WINpFALL

Here is an illustration, in the case of U. s. Steel, as. to how it works.
 F4r ne first time in history, U. s. Steel last week issued five year consolidated report" which won't make it easier for the aver age reader to understand it's tax windfall. In the past it has issued yearly reports. However. the Swear report is most revealing T. shows that U. s. Steel has now turned an additional net profit of SIS, ,l04, ,664 out of the war, thanks to Senator George and other Congressional friends of big business
 The steel corporation admitted a profit of S57,045, ,093 last year Then, on September 29, President Truman quietly proclaimed the end of the war for tax purposes, though not for the GI's growing tired over seas. Truman's edict found U. S. Steel with Sl13, 100000 in unamor- tized war production facilities still on the books.
 Under the carry-back provision so quietly slipped through Congress, U. s. Steel was able to throw in this amount for recomputing the taxes paid over the past four years. Result is what U s. Steel euphe- mistically called Federal Income Tax Adjustment Credit" to an amount of s78, .664 In words of one syllable, Federal Income Tax Adjustment Credit" means a kick hack from the U. s. Treasury.
 Tax stories make dull reading, hut this sum IS equal to about half of what the Union has asked as a wage increase for it's members.

Senatar George of Georgia, who has more to say about setting U. s. taxes than any other man ex- cept tax lobbyist Ellsworth Alvord, whose advice he follows, has called ? unique tax hearing for today.
 He. wants the Internal Revenue Bureau to explain why it hasn't paid more money back to corpora tions under the carry back provi- sions of the tax law.
 Some people have a less kindly way ot expressing it: namely that Senator George will ascertain why Internal Revenue hasn't done a better job of financing the present strikes. For it is an unquestioned fact that the tax law written by Senator Georges Committee is a gold mine which puts many cor poretions in a position where they don't care too much whether they are strike bound
 The Internal Revenue Bureau as- serts that some of the claims made by corporations for tax refunds are fantastic. So it has held them ID for closer study. Senator George, however, doesn't seem to think they are being paid fast enough. He has called 9 joint committee meeting to investigate.

appreciation of the orchestra al
its concert here last year, all per-

it again and do missionary work

In accordance with the invariable
custom, the orchestra will give a

dren which will be characterized by
explanatory talks on the selections

If last years success is a fair
criterion, the orchestra is in for

104 concerts, before 100, 900 per-
