HELLO FOLKS - It looks like
1t is going to be a wonderful
Christmas. Most of the wild rush
for gifts is about over. The per-
petual cry of do your Christ
mas shopping early" The white
bus all painted up in Christmas
wreaths and holly with the slo-
gan printed on its sides and
which made runs all over the
city had its effect. Of course
there will always be a few last
minute shoppers looking for
that inevitable gift which some
how escaped the list. 1t is amaz-
ing the belief a small child has
in Santa Claus. On the bus to-
day was a small and vivacious
miss, who was minus a few front
teeth. She was quite elated be-
cause her mother was taking
her to visit Santa at one of the
stores. One of the passengers
sitting quietly near her asked
her what did she want Santa to
bring her, She replied. IT want
him to bring me a doll with nat
ural curly haid and bring my
front teeth" Everyone on the
bus laughed, Her mother asked
her if she thought Santa would
bring the teeth. The little girl
said Sure he will, he brought
the things I asked for last
Christmas" Mother will have a
lot of explaining to do Christ

Neither is h good practice to overtax to create a cash re- serve for capital investment. Councils and mayors change too fast, and a cash reserve is too much of a temptation to spend Most of us remember the last cash reserve that Kodiak accum- ulated and the junkets of its of- hcers to Seattle. Juneau and Washington at the city's ex- pense There should be no such thing as cash reserve; only suf-I fcient money for working capi- tai Expenses of operation should be budgeted for the year and the tax rate fixed accordingly, bear, ing in mind any surplus accmnu-' lated from the previous years operations that should be return ed to the taxpayers in lower tax rates for the ensuing year.
 When money is needed for large capital investments it should be borrowed, it's repay ment being amortined over a period of time and included in the budgeting Of taxes. In this way the voters of Kodiak would have the privilege of voting for or against large capital expendi- lures, which is their right and which has 8 tendency to reduce the probability of graft in high places.
 The keynote of a successful, city, is to budget your expenses. (and keep within them) and not accumulate cash that are a temptation to graft and injudicious spending and to keep your tax rate down. This procedure has made Omaha and many other towns in Neb- raska. graft free and prosperous, and has given them the lowest tax rates of anywhere in the United States

To Ask Congress.for :
Full Armory Control

The District Commissioners to-
day have before them a demand by
the Randle Highlands Citizens As
ISOLATION that they ask Congress
to give them undisputed control of
the District Armory at once.
The resolution passed by the citi-
zens' group last night. described as
high handed" the attempt Of the
District National Guard to exer-
else control of the armory and 'to
determine and collect rentals for It's
USE"
Although chairmen Of the Sen
ate and House District Committees
have indicated they will not act
this year on the question Of control
Of the armory because 1t does not
fall into the category Of "enler-
gency" legislation, the group last
night urged the Commissioners to
press for action In this special ses-
sion.
The resolution asks, further, that
the Commissioners remedy those
structural limitations which are re-
portedly limiting use Of the armory
to crowds far smaller than those
which it can accommodate" 1t
urges that persons responsible for
failure to determine, before con-
struction, whether the building
could pass fire regulations "be
taken to task"
At the same time the group in
dorsed the reappointment OF COM
