Safety Record
Is Improved

/ The annual dinner of J. NeilS
Lumber Mill and Logger's foremen,
sub-foremen, supervisors and man
agement proved to be fully as in
teresting as in past years, when the
group met at the Presbyterion
Church parlors, Tuesday evening.
Enlightening statistics were re-
ported at the meeting which was
held in the mill office following
the dinner A complete record of
all accidents, man days lost be-
cause of accidents, foreman under
whom the accidents occur, and rea-
son for such accidents, is carefully
compiled each year, and COMPARE
sons made at the close of the year
1t is a source of satisfaction to
note that 1915 showed a big inn
proVement IN the percentage of ac-
cidentS and an even greater de
crease in man days lest because
of those accidents. Figures of in
terest follow
Loggers Department.
1882 accidents with 244 man

days lost
l944-24 accidents with 1882 man I

Although figures for l945 in
clude only the nine month period
worked, company officials and the
safety committee feel much has been
accomplished. 1t is through the CO.
operation of the men and foremen 4

Workers and Investors
(New York Times)

In current discussions the emphasis is usually given to the needs of Little attention paid to the stockholder To large extent this devel- opment results from the habit of thinking of large corporations impersonal aggregations of capital The fact that millions of people have made available this capital and the major benefcares of profits earned is overlooked The National City Bank has recently prepared interesting survey of large industrial companies to ascertain the number of employees and stockholders in 1945 These companies had total assets exceeding S27 900 900 000 They poyed 2925000 workers and had 000 shareholders In other words for every three workers they four shareholders survey of eight railroads and public utilities having total assets of $1700O000 900 showed similar picture.
 These shareholders had an aggregate investment equivalent to $9300 for each employee In other words this substantial required to provide the tools which enable labor to produce the large quantities of goods which make possible the wages and high living standards in this country. The bank concludes it's analysis with this pertinent observation:
 If additional capital is to continue to
 be forthcoming, proper recognition must be
 given to the rights and interests of the millions
 of people who directly or through savings ac-
 counts insurance policies and trust funds own
 American corporate enterprise and provide the
 tools with which it operates. These citizen
 and others will be expected as their share
 of the partnership with labor, to supply and
 risk the vast sums needed for replacement and
 expansion of business facilities in the future
 The importance of profits cannot be overem- phasized Only if holders of savings oppor- tunity to obtain reward will they make their invest ment These investments in turn lead to greater productivity which makes possible larger wages for those already working well opportunities for those seeking jobs Workers and shareholders have common interest in the of their joint under taking Neither group can obtain permanent gain at the expense of the other.

TAX FOR VETERANS

According to incomplete returns for the penny tax for the Alaskan veterans loans and bonuses re- eins for the first quarter of collection are S239 GOO And this figure does not include the onehalf of one per cent be paid canned salmon exported because these operators have been given until the end of the season to make returns.
 At this rate it is very probable that the tax Will bring around million dollars year, which was the goal set by the supporters of the tax This would mean that the tax would go out of existence in approx- maely three -and-onehaf years or, as the law pro- yides when $32500O0 has been deposited in the fund
 During the three months this tax has been in effect we have heard very little criticism from the Alaskans who have been paying it, except from those who hope to such criticism for political purposes It is always convenient to for election on plat form calling for the repeal of tax. No tax is popular But if the Territorial government is to give

the unhappy people. I have been thinking about war.
 Twice in my lifetime Austria has been defeated in war-bitterly de- feated. Why is it, then, that they come back for more? I don't sup pose, if you asked one of the wretches in the street below, he would admit that Austria ever would go to war again. Yet some how or other, war starts.
 1 I am sure the great majority of the Austrian people had no desire to go to war with Serbia when their archduke was shot at Sara jevo in 1914 But the HapSburgS decreed war and so war was waged -four long and terrible years of it, leaving Austria in bitter misery.
 I am sure also that very few of the Austrian people could have said anything which would have deterred Hitler when he dragged them into their second war, this one even more terrible than the first. They were helpless. Sitting here, looking out at this forlorn city, I can't help but wonder how long this endless circle of war will continue. The only answer I can think of is that when the people who do the fighting and the dying are able to make the decision re- garding war, then there will be no more war As long as there are Hitlers or Hapsburgs or Czars or little groups of men who can order people into battle regardless of their wishes, then just that long there will be war.
 Last year I had hoped that the day had come when dictators ceased to have life-and-death pow CT over nations. But now we see two or three men sitting in Mos COW who, almost with wave of the hand, can take the Russian people into war. am sure the Rus sian soldier walking the streets of Vienna has absolutely no desire for war. But some day he may find himself shooting at his former all lies, simply because he does not control the decision of his leaders
 That is why I have been so dis couraged about the Paris Peace Conference where the diplomats don't seem to realize that improv- ing the lot of our fellowmen rather than old-fashioned diplomacy is : the only road to peace.
 Please forgive this reminiscing got to thinking about these 1 things as I sat here looking out the window at the dispirited people and at the apartment house across the street. One end is blown away but families are living in the rest : of it. There are potted pl,nts in some of the windows, however, and where there are flowers there is al- ways hope.
 Please take care of my favorite son-in-law.
 Love,
 Your father.

FLAT WOMAN I5
 FOSTER MA FOR 7
 CHILDREN ABROAD

l NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-For the
 past five years, Mrs. Mary s. Don
 nelley, of Flat, Alaska has been
 one of the Staunchest friends of
 children overseas. Through the
 Foster Parents Plan for War Chil- dren, Mrs. Donnelley has cared for two children in England and Hol- land, it was announced yesterday by Mrs Edna Blue, Plan executive chairman. American headquarters
 of the Plan are at 55 West 42nd
 Street, New York City.
 The Plan operates 56 children's projects in France, England Hol- land, Belgium, Malta and Italy and is caring for children of fourteen different nationalities.
 Mrs. Donneuey cared for Gerda Polinecer, 13-year-old Austrian girl in England until other arrange ments were made for her care. Al the present time Mrs. Donnelley is caring for Martinus Van Bussel, 12-
 year-old Dutch boy in Holland. 1 Martinus father. at the outbreak of the war, joined the underground resistance movement; this act en- dangered the lives of the family as well as the father The Nazis
 made regular house to house
 searches and this kept Martinus
 in a constant state of fear. An other thing to add to their hard ships was the theft of their food

aid to it's veterans must provide the money through taxation.
 We believe that the vast majority of Alaskans were behind niove pay bonuses to Alaskan veterans and to set up a fund for loans We believe thet because everyone knows that when they pay penny tax they building up a fund for the veterans, this tax is not as unpopular as other taxes might be.
 The money is being collected with minimum of administrative expense Practically every cent collected goes into the fund which can be used for other purpose than for which it is intended-to give the veteran helping hand in his readjustment to civilian life

with an American lady whose name I cannot now remember. That really shows I am getting old.
 Then I came back in 1923, when was a young newspaperman and you had not entered my life. Vien- ma was still hungry but still fairly gay and I remember sitting in a cafe, listening to a forty piece orchestra play Yes, we have no bananas That song dates the trip.
 I was then interviewing Europe's twelve greatest men. Personally, l didn't think that some of them were so great-such as MuSsolini- but 1t was an assignment and my editors thought differently. Any way, in Vienna, interviewed President Hainisch and Chancellor Seipel, the latter being very busy and not at all anxious to see me. President HainiSch was more gra- cious but I remembered getting lost in the maze of corridors lead ing to his office and being out of breath and afraid that 1 would be terribly late. That was g years ago. Since then another war has interyened, another defeat for Austria. another postwar period when her people must begin to re- build the ruins of their shattered lives. Today, Vienna is like a once beautiful woman, broken, tired pathetic, unabashedly peddling her virtue in the street.
 The once magnificent opera house where, twenty years ago, l heard Jeritza sing, is now sham oles. Its walls still stand but bombs gay boulevards are heaped with rubble and the people who move along them walk as if they didn't really care whether they ever reached their destinations.
 Today I called on the President of Austria and the Chancellor. The old President and Chancellor whom I interviewed in 1923 are dead New men have taken their places-neW men facing the same problems.
 T Today, instead of cooling my heels to see them, they waited tC see me. I was late. There had been a misunderstanding about the time of my appointments but they wait ed for me. They were pathetically glad to talk to someone who would listen to the plight of Austria.
 Chancellor Figl is a tough little peasant, determined to get the Russians out of his country and he pays great tribute to Gen. Mark Clark, the American Commander here, for not letting the Russians outbluff him. President Renner is an old-fashioned Socialist, bearc and all, the type which the Com munists have been pumping off 1T Bulgaria and Germany. Probably they would have got rid of him al. so if General Clark wasn't ever tougher than the Russians.
 General Clark, incidentally, ha! been doing fine job and it's too bad all that Texas furore over tht Rapido River battling should have been raised It makes the Rus sians think he doesn't have tht support of his Government.

SCORES OF FARMERS IN ALkSKA BENEFIT
 FROM AC PROGRAM

One hundred and forty-two farm CTS in Alaska benefited financially in 1945 from the Agriculture Con- servation Program of the Depart ment of Agriculture according to information furnished Delegate Bartlett.
 This program, begun in July, 1886, for the development of sound soil-building and soil and water conservation practices gives spec ial consideration to fundamental differences in soils, agricultural practices and economic and social conditions as they prevail in Alaska as compared to the States. Through this program, the Department of Agriculture offers Alaska farmers financial assistance in carrying out recommended conservation prac- tices in connection with their farm ing operations. Funds made avail able by Congress for the provisions of the Soil Conservation and Do- mestic Allotment Act are used for making payments for:
 CD soil building and conserving practices, C2) application of mater ials to maintain fertility and (3) for clearing land for future culti- vation.
 During the last four months of 1946 an effort will be made to reach every farmer in Alaska to acquaint him with this program. Any farmer wishing to apply for payment, or any who have not participated in previous programs but who wish to he included in future programs should communi- cate with the Extension Service, University of Alaska, College Alaska.
