 2 The Gene -al Property Tax. This IS another tax measure that strikes at the people and busin- esses of the Territory not at pre- sent paying a property tax. It levies ten null tax on all the property in the Territory. But here's the important point. It IS refundable to Inco Lorated towns and utility districts whose resi- dents are already paying a prop erty tax. It does not mean that you people who live in incorpor- ated towns would pay more taxes than you are now paying. You would net. But owners of property outside incorporated towns and utility districts, who have heretofore pald no property tax, would pay a ten mill tax under this law.
 It is estimated that the taxa ble property lying outside lncor- porated towns Tn Alaska runs at least to s1OO,OOO,OOO in value. Little of this property is owned by small property holders. At least 90 per cent of it is owned by big corporations.

 Highlishfs. Mildred R. Hermann

A familiar cry heard at every session of the legislature, within the memory of this writer, has been gathering volume the past few days and bids fair to swell into 8 vast cacaphony of sound, as we travel down this last stretch of the legislative session. That eEy is "We can't afford it.

Salt Lake City Rolls
Out lis Best CARPET
For Victorious Ufes
BY the Associated Press

SALT LAKE CITY, Mar. 60
Utah's victorious "underdog" basket
ball Redskins neared home today
while the city prepared a reception
which would make Grover Whalen
green with envy-a hook and ladder
fire truck for Center Vern Gardner
and individual limousines for each
of the other players.
Crowds of cheering residents of
the State-some of whom came great
distances for the spectacle-gathered
at the airport as the plane bearing
the "Cinderella" team which upset
Kentucky in the final of the National
Invitation tournament at Madison
Square Garden flew westward.
For Center Vern Gardner-voted
the most valuable player in the
tournament-the prize hook and
ladder of Firehouse l cleaned with
it's most enthusiastic polish job. For
each of the rest of the iads-Wat
Misaka, Arnie Ferrin, Leon Watson,
Lyman Clark and Fred Weidner-
shiny limousines lined up for a
parade through the flag bedecked
business section.
The banners celebrating Utah's
centennial were broken out publicly
for the first time-well in advance
of the anticipated date. A sports
banquet which Utah's Olympic en-
trants and favorites in other sports
will attend, was moved up from late
April to next Wednesday night III
honor of the UteS.
Each of the limousines sported a
huge placard bearing the name of
the player, almost unnecessary in
formation for Utahans who have
followed avidly the play of the team
which was given the least chance Of
eight entered in the meet.
The parade route wound from the
downtown area to the University
campus east of the city where Gov.
Herbert B. Nav, University Pres
ident A. Ray Olpin and Mayor
Earl j. Glade waited to greet the
team.

Bosox, Strengthened
On Mound, See Easy
Pennant Repeat
By the Associoted Press

SARASOTA, Fla, Mar. 26.-As
they swing into the final phase of
their spring training, the Boston Red
Sox, individually and collectively, ap-
pear more firmly convinced than
ever that they can run away with
the American League race again.
Gone with the winter SHOWS are
the hurts and disappointments Joe
Cronin's boys received in the last
World Series, which they entered as
overrated favorites and finished as
a soundly beaten club after Harry
Brecheen of the Cardinals had
dazzled them with his pitching and
Enos Slaughter had mesmerized
them on the base paths.
The Sox, from Ted Williams on
down, realize now that they were
not the all-time wonders they ap-
peared to be in knocking the day
lights out of their own league. At
the same time, however, they have
retained firm appreciation of their
worth, and they are confident they
can win again.
A poll of the teams stars discloses
that they feel they are about 80 per
cent stronger than they were this
time a year ago, mostly because of
greater depth in their pitching. The
Series, they concede, brought out a
numerical weakness in their mound
corps.
Now the Hose apparently have
three additional starters - rockies
who are more or less ready to step
in there and either take their turn
with, or efficiently relieve, the big
men of the staff-Tex Hughson, Bob
Ferriss, Mickey Harris and Joe
Dobson.
The trio, all graduates of the Sox
farm system, are Mel Parnell, left
handler up from Scranton of the
Eastern League; Tommy Fine,
right-hander also from Scranton.
and Harry (Fritz) Dorish, from
Louisville.
All three appear to be finished
products. Fine, after three years in
the service, won % and lost only
three for Scranton last season.
Parnen had 1874 record with the
same club. Dorish, also a three-year
service veteran, posted an 11-4 mark
at Louisville.

Following the 1945 season

The Boston Red Sox own a
pitcher who has been paid $4,000
in the last 10 years despite the
fact that he hasn't won single
big league game during that time.
His name is Paul Schreiber.
Schneider is not a regular hurler.
He is a batting practice pitcher.
Every day throughout the season,
Schneider throws to the Red Sox
hitters. His job is to let them
hit the ball. The further they
hit it, the happier he is and the
more secure is his job.
Paul began his lush job with
the New York Yankees in 1887.
His salary then was and still is
$1,000 a season. This is his sec
ond year with the Sox after nine
with the Yankees.
In the fall of 81, the Yankees
won the pennant and the players
voted Paul half share of the
World Series receipts. Since
then, Schreiber has made ap-
proximately $4,000 in World
Series money. He was cut into
