HOW ABOUT THIS?

Though various Federal agencies spend thousands, and perhaps millions in mailing by air and otherwise countless publicity releases and other propaganda to all parts of the world few G L pensioners in Alaska must sometimes wait as long as two months to receive their checks because it would cost about $50 month to send the checks from Juneau to the Second Third and Fourth divisions by airmail.
 Because Southeast Alaska communities fav ored by quite frequent steamship schedules the prob lem of distributing the checks in this without the use of airmail is not acute But the 600 widows disabled veterans C. L students and others receiving the checks elsewhere in Alaska extremely incon- venienced by such shortsighted policy.
 request by regional Veterans Administration chief Ernest Lincoln to have the cheeks sent out of Juneau by aiIma because Of the infrequent steam ship service to the Westward turned down by the Controller General who based his decision on previous request to send all Federal checks to Hawaii by air However this previous request was denied because it found that Hawaii was blessed with regular scheduled steamship servce-something which Alaska does not have.
 Last months checks, which sent out Of Juneau from the Federal disbursing office here by air after the Veterans of Foreign Wars had put up the money for the armail stamps. This months will go the way through the courtesy of the American Legion.
 We suggest that the Territorial Legislature might see fit to send memorial to the Controller General urging that because of the poor steamship service to the Westward he authorize the of armail send these checks out of Juneau. It would cost $36O year. Theoretically, it is already costing the Federal government $2l6 year to send the checks out by regular mail the actual increase would only be sl44 year SIP month.

dumb that he doesn't realize who will pay the bill in the end-Mr John o Public
 Incidentally two of the bills provide that up to per cent of the taxes collected could be used by the Tax Commission for collection and admnistra- tion. If the maximum per cent were used, which is probable this would mean an additional sum of $l850O0 for Commissioner Muaney's office, which added to his request for sls4oOO the office for the next biennum. would give him a slush fund Of s3790o0.
 The poor people of Alaska might be interested to know that this the office which was set up just two years ago to run for S10O0O0 bennium- which just goes to show how things grow.
 In 945 the Legislature set up the Tax Commission CT for $l00 The Commissioner has asked for double that for this biennum and if the proposed tax bills pass, would have fund the s4o000O mark Using the established formula, this would put the Tax Com missioner in the enviabe position of oelng able to ask the next Legislature for $8000OO.
 Senator Rivers suggests that unless the program he and Senator Walker propose is adopted, there will just have to be special session of the Legislature within the next year (The last last year, cost the taxpayer about million dollars reason for the present low ebb of the Terrtorys financesD Rivers speaks as chairman of the Taxation Committee.
 Whether the Alaska Senate will respond favorably to such gentle prod remains to be seen. Some members of the Senate Finance Committee, among them Senator Coffey of the opinion that Senator Rivers knows too little about the finances of the Territory, and believe that tax measures already passed by the Senate will be ampleprovding certain abuses certain offices be corrected and economy steps taken.

PROPOSED TAX PROGRAM

Tn this postwar inflatonary period, due to con- ditions beyond control the great demand imposed upon the Territory to met the many needs of the people :" etc.
 Such reads the preamble, written by Senator Victor Rivers to a proposed tax program which would give the people of this Territory enc of the biggest fleecings yet.
 The people" for when Senator Rivers deeply grieves and for whom he would pass three new tax bills, would cough up if these bills became law an estimated s430OOO0 for the next bennium.
 As in the past four or five legislative sessions, a net income tax individuals and businesses IS proposed It is the old effort to push the Territory of Alaska into field of taxation already exploited to the saturaton point by the Federal government
 second bill, which travels under the disguise of "license fee" bill is nothing but second income tax bi-this one the gross income of businesses and as in the case with gross income tax, the bus- ness which has huge gross, but a low net profit, is forced out of business. This bill would collect a license fee of SIS per year from all businesses With yearly gross of S2o00o or less plus income tax of one-half of per cent upon the gross receipts over s2oOoO grocery store doing gross of s52oooo year would pay s15, plus another $2,5o0 for a "cense" to do business license Of course this business would pay the net income tax, too.
 The third bill of the proposed program is a gen. era property tax upon all property in Alaske within and without incorporated towns A levy of 10 mills the value is proposed and theN money collected within the cities would be refunded-merely matter of bookkeeping. In Juneau for instance the city would collect mills, and the Territory would collect 10 mills which it would return to the city Tax Commissioner (unconfirmed) Mullaney says this tax would give the Territory Sl200000 biennium. We suppose that this would not include the refunds to cities.

ARMY WASTE

Congressman John Taber oi New York put his finger directly on it. lustrations of Army waste during the closed-door Republican caucus on the budget. Taber, rigid Con- gressional economizer, pointed out that the Army is now wasting man. power hy maintaining four "liai- son" offices on Capitol Hill pre- sumably to curry favor with Con- gressmen.
 There was only one such liaiSon office here during the war" de- clared Taber, who is Chairman of the Joint Budget Committee. Why does the Army need four now when we are at peace? Very lew mem- bers use those offices anyhow .' That is just one example of waste, continued Tabor. Another, he said, was the billetting of g Army of- ficers, plus their staffs, in expen- sive hotels in Germany for the
 
 the Nuremberg trials.
 There are plenty of competent historians here in the United States, associated with universities, who would be glad to do the job if they were given visitors visas, ." thundered the New Yorker Why saddle such expense on the tax payers?'
 There was only one brief flare up at the COP caucus when Rep. Walter Judd of Minnesota began shooting questions at the leaders about whether the economy pro- gram was binding or optional upon the Appropriation Committee. This is the committee which actually appropriates the exact dollars and cents going to each Government bureau after Congress fixes the overall budget for the entire Gov >ernment

TRUMAN IO NEW OkLEANS
 Young Congressman Hale Boggs of Louisiana got an encouraging pat on the back from President Truman for House speech de- lending David Lilienthal the other day, but failed to persuade the President to &visit New Orleans. Truman said he would take rain check and promised to show up for a Hemispheric Trade Exposi- tion in New Orleans next fall if circumstances permit.
 T think I'll take Mon Wallgren (former Senator, now Governor of Washington along if I go," unused the President. Mon once bragged to me about how he taught the folks in New Orleans to play bil- liards. I want to see if he's as good as he says "
 The Louisiana Congressman re- piled that his constituents were less interested in billiards at the mo- ment than in fostering good neighbor' tra d e. International House, an organization Boggs help ed establish for promoting more trade between the Mississippi Val ley and Latin America, was going great guns in new 15-story build ing, he told Truman, and the fall exposition will highlight the trade program.
 That's when we want you there, MT. President" concluded the Louisiana Congressman.
