It has depleted our Treasury, during the most prosperous year. and biggest boom Alaska may ever hope to have until we stand today on the very brink of Terri torial bankruptcy, our savings ol other years depleted, the money set aside to cover depreciation. spent for actual operating expens- es of the Territory government. It has forced our Territorial Treas urer to the dubious practice of jug gling funds, of actually using spe- cially ear-marked funds to mee the Territory's running expense, even to the extent of imperiling the Veterans Revolving fund. All because our elected representa- tives, in l941, 1943 and l945 lis tened to the voice of the lobbyists with special axes to grind instead of serving the needs of the people of Alaska.
 Actually Alaska can afford al! the things the Territory needs better educational facilities for Alaska's children, future citizens of the State of Alaska, good sound public health program which includes break for her helpless, crippled children, thousands of victims of tuberculosis in a coun- try where the death rate from this dread disease is the highest per capita in the nation, the control and cure of venereal disease whose in- cidence is coming up by leaps and bounds endangering the health and happiness of all her people; proper and adequate help to the aged and destitute, dependent children, mothers struggling under the ne-

strikes at the people and business es of the Territory not at present paying a property tax. It levies ten mill tax on all the property in the Territory. But-here's the inn portant point. It is refundable to incorporated towns and utility dis tricts whose residents are already paying property tax. It does not mean that you people who live in
 incorporated towns would have more taxes than you are now pay ing. You would not. But owners of property outside incorporated towns and utility districts, who have heretofore paid no property tax, would pay ten mill tax un- der this law.
 It is estimated that the taxable property lying outside incorporated towns in Alaska runs at least to Sl00, ,000 in value. Little of this property is owned by small prop erty holders. At least 90 % of it is owned by big corporations. Testi- flying recently against the proposed bill providing a referendum on fish trap abolition, w. C.. Arnold, registered lobbyist for the Canned Salmon Industry, stated that prop erty of the value of S80,000, 900 owned by the Industry would be imperiled by the elimination of fish traps. Most of this property of course, lies outside incorporated
 towns and is not at present taxed.
 The same is due of the vast min
 ing companies of the Interior
 which pay no property taxes at all
 and only very negligible income
 tax, as their contribution to the | Territorial Treasury. l. is easy for i anyone to see that the aggregate value of all these properties will easily run into an enormous amount. But estimating it at the conservative amount of $6O,00O,O0O this tax would bring in sl.2O0,O0O 1 for the biennium more than enough to finance the necessary school construction program.

It threatened the Crippled Children's program; it already has defeated one bill to provide an in- crease in the allotments for moth CTS pensions and the care of de- pendent children, made necessary by the rapidly increasing cost of living, which is posing problems for legislative bodies all over the country. It was responsible for tab ling the Almquist pension bill to provide increases in the allotments made to the aged and unemploy- able. It was cited as a justification for the scrapping of the Alaska Development Board. It will un- doubtedly be assigned as the chief reason why the Statehood Appro- priation should not be made.
 It has been used effectively in the past, with tragic results to the people of Alaska. It deprived us of millions of dollars in revenue during the billion dollar war con-

seeks to equaliZe the trade license fees now in effect, by bringing all businesses under the provisions of the bill, in proportion to the vol tune of the business done. This bill also will reach many completely untaxed categorieS of business, chief of which is AlaSka's biggest businesS-the construction busi- ness which is expected to reach a total of S200, ,000, ,0O0 in the next two years. This business escaped all tax during the lush war years, when war construction companies paid almost billion dollars, but 1t can be tapped now when it has in the offing business almost dou- ble that of the Canned Salmon h. duStry which we are accustomed to thinking of as the Territory'S biggest business.
 There in a nutshell, is the fiscal program that would put the Terri tory on a sound financial basis, that would assure the money for the development of Alaska and place the Territory on a par with other States and Territories, that would spell security and protec- ton for the people of Alaska while spreading the tax burden evenly and equitably. That is the tax pro- gram that the Territory needs that the people want as an assurance that they may meet their obliga- tions that they may have the facil- ities that other Territories and ! States have.
 Will they get it?
 We'll, that depends on how com pletely our big lobbieS manage to dominate the members of the leg islature; that depends on whether or not the elected representative of the people turn a deaf ear to the welfare of the people within the Territory.

CeSSlIy OI making lVlng and car ing for small children; a road and air-field construction program that would bridge the vast distances ! between her isolated communities and build that Territorial solidar- ity that will make her a great State. Alaska can afford all these |: things, if the elected representa- tiveS of her people will only find . the vision and the courage to face the plain duty that confronts them and provide the constructive fi- nancial program that will spell progress for the Territory and se- Curity for it's people.
 That program has already been presented. It was tossed into the legislative hopper last week in the form of three bills, introduced un- der the joint authorship of Sena- tors Victor C. Rivers and Norman R. Walker. Tn the aggregate, they set up financial program, which, augmented by present annual rev. enueS, will provide the answer to that oft repeated question: Where is the money coming from?" And this plan would not wreck, or even slightly rock, the economic stabil- ity of the Territory. For these bills l would reach out into present un- taxed categories and find the bulk of the revenue needed to finance the things Alaska should have , These three bills are: CD a small net income tax bill, @ a general l property tax bill and, (3) a uni. : form trade license bill.
 Let us consider them briefly ir the order named. CD The net in. : come tax bill. This tax proposes l Territorial levy of l0Gc or l/lO of the amount of the income tax
 paid to the Federal Government
 based upon the Federal income 1 tax returns. A S45 credit is allowed persons who have been residents
 of the Territory for year or more
 That means that if you are a resi- dent of the Territory and pay a Federal income tax of $405OO or less, you would pay no income tax
 to the Territory. But if the income
 tax you pay the Federal Govern
 ment is more than $450.OO you
 would pay l/10 of that amount |. to the Territory, less the $45.OC
 credit you would have. The lower
 salary bracket man or woman and the residents of the Territory are
 thus protected against increased taxes.
 This tax would be collected pri- marily from higher-bracket in come people who can afford to pay 1t, from non-residents who work at our seasonal industries and the transient workers who come and go, on our vast army and navy construction projects. In par ticular, would bring in vast sums of revenues from these transients who come to Alaska under the lure of fantastic wages paid on these construction projects and con- tribute nothing to the development of the Territory.
 The net income tax would bring in an estimated revenue of approx imately two and one-half million per biennium. Easy to administer, because it is based entirely on the Federal income tax returns and is

enlarged upon their war time
diet of tulip bulbs and sugar beets,
mentioned above.
"On the card enclosed you only
see a little part of those fields.
The bulbs are only grown COM
mercially. Now they are one of
the greatest part of our export.
Personally we do not like bulbs
very much because we had to
eat them the last year of the war.
And when we see a bulb now
adays we get a very bad taste in
our mouth. We were very glad
with them that time, for during
that year we got only one pound
of bread and 2 pounds of potatoes
for whole week. So you can un-
derstand we kept living on those
bulbs and our sugar beets."

August "a, 1945a
This day brings back sad memor-
les,
OF loved one laid to rest;
day
And those who think of him each
Are the ones who loved him
best.
Beneath our eyes he faded slowly,
Growing day by day more frail;
Bearing sweetly all his sufferings,
Without murmur, moan, or wall.
Nobody knows the pain he bore,
Beneath the smile he always
wore,
He never complained, he was not
that kind.
Just one of those persons so
hard to find.
A happy home we once enjoyed,
How sweet the memory-still;
But death has left a loneliness,
The world can never fill.
Sadly missed by his wife.
