RECOGNIZING SERVICE

The Alaska Legislature in joint session assembled last week overwhelmingly refused to confirm two ap pointments submitted to them by the Governor of Alaska and by doing paid high honors to two pioneer Alaskans who are outstanding in the Territory for their long years of service educational instu- tions
 The Legislature refused to confirm the appoint ment q the Rev w. Robert Webb of Juneau to the Board of Regents of the University of Alaska and voted urge the Governor to reappont Senator O D appoint MT zieger to that honored positon
 The Legislature refused to confirm the appoint ment of Dr Carr of Ketchikan to replace A. H. Ziegler of the same city member of the Board Education and voted to urge the Governor to re- reappoint MT Ziegler to that honored position.
 Both of these men are lorg time residents of Alaska and have served for many years on their respective advisory boards the field of education in Alaska Their knowledge of the educational affairs, as well as in other fields Alaska, is vast and valuable in determining rclicy They should both be reappointed For the Governor to take any other action would be for him go against the wishes of the Legislature and the people of Alaska, which we are sure he does not wish to do. We believe these two men will be reapponted in the light of the action by the Legislature
 This editorial as well as the action of the Leg islature should not be taken a reflection against latter one our personal friends and outstanding young Juneau resident whom believe will become an outstanding Alaskan.

MacARTHUR's OLD FRIEND

Whereupcn, Republican Congress man Arthur Miller of Kimball, Neb, suddenly introduced an identical all eoholics bill of his own. Merely lift ing the language of Congressman Hebert. he put his own name at the top Miller is the Nebraska Congressman who made headlines during the war when he published General MacArthur's own letter about his political ambitions. Since then Miller lapsed back into ob- scurity until he turned up in the new Congress as chairman of a subcommittee on the District of Columbia
 And as subcommittee chairman. he announced that from now on the Hebert alcoholics bill would be known as the Miller bill
 Immediately storm broke loose in the secret committee session which followed
 T am rather embarrassed to bring this mater up" said Con- gressman Hebert T have no pride in the authorship But I do have pride in sponsorship I didn't know the chairman of the committee had reintroduced my hill until I read about il in the papers; which has caused me to wonder if he is fully acquainted with the procedure in committee in which an individual sponsors legislation"
 Tt is the right of the chairman of the majority party to introduce all good legislation" replied Rep Miller
 Not where an individual mem- Der sponsors legislation and where his own proposal is being carried cut" insisted the gentleman from Louisiana.

AIR MAIL FOR VETERANS

Both Houses have passed Senate memorial by Senator Edward D Coffey urging that the Federal disbursing officer in Juneau be allowed to spend the small sum necessary to send veteran pensioners checks from Juneau to the other three divisions by air mail because of the long delay distributing these checks by steamer.
 These checks go out to widows, students and dis abled veterans who need the money badly each month To wait an extra weeks, sometimes extra month, works hardship these people The Ameri- can Legion and the Veterans of Foreign Wars have contributed the funds to send the checks air mail so while they carry the fight to the permission Of the Federal officer responsible to make this a regular service and the action taken by the Legislature will help.
 We are sorry that Rep. G. E. Almquist of Juneau voted against this memorial in the House, otherwise it would have received an unanimous vote.

hold Of stutt that is not good or inconsequential but when good leg islation like this comes along, the leadership has decided that the ma jcrity party is going to sponsor it.
 Tn ether words when a Demo- crat introduces a good bill, then it is going to be reintroduced by a Republican and the Republicans are going to take credit for it?' asked Hetert.
 That's right replied Miller.
 Then the present majority party is of the opinion that the minority party has no rights at all?" asked the Louisiana Congressman.
 T said was instructed to intro duce this bill in my own name, evaded Miller
 That's all I want to know" re- torted Hebert. T guess I'm in the position of fullback in football game who has bucked the ball down the field for 99 yards only to find the quarterback calling his own signal to take the ball over for the touchdown
 And thus was started the new policy of the 80th Congress.

THE MINING BILL

For what is believed to be the first time in the history of Alaska the Legislature Saturday refused to sustain Governors veto. and passed over his objections bill designed to give the Alaska mining industry "shot in the arm Members of the House voted Is to 6 to pass the bill notwithstanding the Governors veto. Earlier. the Alaska Senate had passed the measure the veto by vote of 3 to B.
 The measure receiving this total vote of 3l for and only against notwithstanding the fact that the bill did not receive the approval of the Governor. repeas the per cent gross gold tax and substitutes a graduated net tax on all mining
 It is doubtful that very many of those voting for this bill understood the intricate technical flaws which the Governor and his economist charged it contained any more than the average man on the street. But like the average Alaskan they understood that Alaska mining industry-big and little operator alike-faces an almost unsurmountable task in the long fight for recovery, and the mining industry needs help
 The Alaska Legislature last week served notice that the mining industry going get the help which this bill will provide.
 To Henry Roden Swiss-born pioneer Alaskan who began his political service to Alaska as member of the first Legislature 1913. goes the bulk of the credit for delivering of the finest speeches ever heard in the legislative halls The common sense of his argument struck home to all who listened as which had been put up against the bill Roden spoke of the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Company operation so vital to this community, pointing out that even

NEW COP POLICY

The leadership told me to intro duce this bill in my name, finally admitted Miller. T personally hesi- tated about doing t but I was told by the leadership to do, 1t. We are the majority party and we are go- ing to be responsible for all good legislation.
 Then am I to understand that a Democrat or a member oi the pre- sent minority party has no right to introduce and sponsor progressive and constructive legislation in his own name?" asked Hebert.
 If it is a good bill we will re- introduce it in our name replied Miller. We are going to take the cream. You fellows have had your way long enough. You can take

TAXING HOLLYWOOD

IL hasn't been officially announce ed but the Treasury Department is all set to collect several million dollars from Hollywood stars and film executives who cleaned up huge sums by paying capital gains taxes rather than income taxes on picture profits.
 What happened was that when income taxes zoomed. the film people hit on the idea of organiz ing separate corporations for single pictures. Then after each film was produced they liquidated the cor pCratiOns and paid capital gains tax of 25 percent instead of personal income tax of 80 to 90 percent.
 One of the single-picture men was producer Sam Goldwyn, who last fall learned that the Treasury intended to collect the difference between the income and the capi- tai gains rates, Goldwyn announced that he would go into court to up- hold his right to pay at the lower rate Following this it looked like the Treasury had backed down.
 However the Treasury has now ironed cut all the legal kinks and bills for back taxes are now going out from the Los Angeles office of the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
