THE MERRY MoRTICIAN

Senator Kenneth Wherry, Me- braskas Merry Mortician," can't resist a snicker when Indian names are read on the floor of the Senate.
 Three years ago it was he who demanded an explanation of the name, Winnie Left Her Behind" an Indian woman who had claim before Congress. Senator Harlan Bushfield of South Dakota replied without developing the thought that he thought there were some with funnier names in the Senate than most of the Indian names.
 Last week Wherry again jumped up when the reading clerk made an error in reading the bill by Montanas Senator Zales Ecton to authorize the issuance of at patent in-fee for land to an Indian lady, Mabel Townsend Petty On Top
 Immediately Townsend was on his feet.
 Whats that?" he snickered. What was that name?"
 None of his colleagues seemed interested. Wherry subsided as the clerk corrected his reading to-, Mabel Townsend Pretty on Top"

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER

Senator Hugh Butler, who has been the author of considerable legislation dealing with Alaska since his trip through the Territory last year, has intro duced bill which would transfer to our Territorial government the administration of the Alaska Native Service or all laws relating Indians. He believes that the Territory could handle this department more efficiently than the Federal government and there is every reason to believe that this is so.
 The proposed law provides that the Territory would receive a Federal appropriation for this pur- pose which is recognition of the fact that the Federal responsibility in this matter should not cease
 Such legislation would further the of more home rule for Alaska and actually give the Indians, who are citizens and voters voice in the affairs n the office which affects them vtally.
 The maintenance of hospitals and the general medical program of the Alaska Native Service would be transferred to the Public Health Service and the

Meat "Hoarding"
(New York Times

(NeW York TimeS)
 Harold E. Stassen calls for the establishment of inventory controls certain basic foods to dis hoarding and prevhtng rising prices His pro- posal stems, he from the fact that huge of food being held in storage and he singles out meat a conspicuous example "In the deep freezer of the nations stockyards," Mir Stassen charges there is 516 million pounds of meat being held off the market" The Department of Agriculture confirms his figures and is reported "conceding that the amount of meat in storage on Dec l was 116 million pounds greater than year ago.
 No who knows him would accuse MT. Stassen of distortng figures but this case there is reason to believe that he didn't look far enough into the situation before he echoed his conclusion Had he so he would have found that D the amount of meat in storage almost invariably rises sharply between November and January, largely because this is the time of the year when the spring pig crop Represent ing two-thirds of the entire corp is marketed and that 2) although the cold storage figures higher by comparison with last year this not because the 1947 storage is abnomaly high but because the l946 storage was abnormally low Certainly the Depart nent of Agriculture should have pointed this out
 It will be recalled that in the fall of 1946 de- control of meat the major subject of public dis cusson. Up to September when John L. Lewis issued his edict, "No meat no coal!', the Administration had stoutly maintained that 1t would remove price ceilings. But in the ensuing weeks it became clear that it would have to reverse its position which it did shortly before the national elections This stua ton produced widespread withholding movement by sellers of meat animals. On Dec l. 1946 the effects of that movement still to be in the storage figures. For example, frozen pork in storage year ago 100000 pounds against 92300000 this year Pork products stood at 1270OO000 pounds, against l62, 100000 present But the fiveyear average (n cluding subnormal l946) 92,40O00o in the first case. 150 100000 in the second.
 We agree with MT. Stassen's general thesis that there certain in which such overall controls as credit contraction would be completely intellectual We also believe that one of these is meat But we don't believe-and we are quite sure that MT Stassen would go along with us-that the existence of personal devil in the form of the meat-hoarder is necessary prerequisite to such localized controls

INSIDE THE xxx

Grand Dragon Green came back to Atlanta the other day very irate to find that during two- weeks absence, some of his Klansmen had kicked over the traces against Herman Talmadge.
 So, resuming his role of Grand Cyclops of Klavern No. l, Green gave the Klansmen long pep talk. Here are the minutes of what he said:
 Dr. Green was also sore because so few were present at the meet ing and because only seven were initiated. However, he seemed even sorer because secrets were leaking out of Klan meetings. So he start ed off by blasting Drew Pearson for reporting that Herman Tal- madge was not for the working man. Green said that he had talked with Herman.s and that Her. man was going to back up labor strong.

To Voters of Alaska, Higher
 Taxes for You

It is reported over the press news that Democrat DELEGATE BOB BARTLETT has introduced bill in Congress this week to allow the Cities in Alaska to raise the rate ? percent to percent; to tax all those who have Real or Personal property within the Cities and also to allow the Territory of Alaska to tax Prop erty outside of the Cities of Alaska percent. This would mean in Cities that property owners of both Real and Personal property would pay a 50 percent raise in taxes or 50 cents more on every dollar. This is in accordance with Democratic Plat form just adopted at Ketchikan, Alaska, and the Democratic Theory of Spend, Spend, Spend. Tax, Tax, Tax
 We are opposed to any further taxes and especially more Taxes within Cities. First, because if a Property owner has to pay more taxes he simply must add it on to his Tenant for higher rent, This will be true for Hotels, Apartments and Dwellings, All additional Taxes are paid for by the consumer one way or another. If additional taxes are made upon Mercantile Establish ments they will simply add that cost to the consumer.
 It's time Cities and the Territory lived upon it's budget like any other citizen. The only relief is to write to a Republican Senator or Con- gressman to stop this bill. Upon re- ceipt of this news, Juneau Real Estate went down in price. Who wants to own property with addi- tional 50 percent tax in sight? ONE THING YOU WILL NOTE, IS WHO IS ADVOCATING MORE SPEND ING. MORE TAXES. MORE TAX UPON THE CONSUMER, THE SALES TAX, REAL TAX, TAX upon your personal belongings. He is DEMOCRAT office holder and one who has very little interest in Alaska as to paying any taxes.

shown Russian experts all aspects of American agriculture, even though the Russians always car ried cameras and asked exhaustive questions.
 For example, a Russian mission inspecting the forest product labor atorieS at Madison, Wis, wanted to know the cubic measurements of each building, how many people each would hold and intricate de- tails about the equipment. On the other hand, they refused to par ticipate in a seminar and exchange information about their own re- search.
 Also the Soviet Embassy always sent more people than stipulated, such as a recent mission to Ore gon College. Arrangements were requested for two, but five showed up and stayed until they wore out their welcome.

Since Drew Pearson came out and said there was a big row in the Klan about supporting Tal- madge," proclaimed the Grand Dragon, it proves that we still have a rat present who is telling about every move we make. l want all Klansmen present to try to find this stool pigeon. If you have any suspicious, come and tell me. I am going to find that dirty rat if it's the last thing I do."
 Dr. Green also said he thought the reason no more people were Joining the Klan was because Pearson had scared them
 The Grand Dragon reminded the Klansmen that the hearing on the Negro policemen is coming up be- fore Bond Almond, former Slansman. The date, he said, was not announced, but Green was sure decision would be handed down that would suit the XXX.
 The Klansmen were invited to participate in the Swainsboro par ade which the Grand Dragon said means much to the Klan because it seems there has been some trouble with the Negroes and this will put them in their place.
 Several Klansmen wanted to know why the Klan was not more active in Atlanta. They wanted to see some activities similar to the old days. pr. Green promised that as soon as possible he would see that they got plenty of action.
 The year 1948 is going to be a hot year for the Ku Klux Klan," " he said. There will be a lot of parades and cross-burnings."
 He also said the Klan had been busy in. many ways that it had not told its members about. since he had been afraid to talk too much about Klan activities because Drew Pearson or someone might an nounce it before it could even take place.
 Note Meanwhile new Klavern is being established in Chattanooga, Tennessee, with a membership of 289 Klansmen.

CoLpEsr TOWN IN LISA.

The hardy little town of Inter- national Fall, Minn.-coldest city in the U.S.A.-would rather buck 40-below temperature than buy fuel oil on the black market. Hear ing of the towns anti-inflation fortitude, President Truman, him self, has promised to send an emergency cargo to the rescue at regular prices.
 International Falls almost strad- dies the Canadian border, Latest cold spell pushed the mercury out the bottom of the thermometer. Simultaneously, certain unscrupu- lous oil dealers brought in fresh supplies and jacked up their pri- ces..
 Rather than pay black market rates, many citizens closed their homes and doubled up with relatives and neighbors. One angry group threatened to overturn an incom- ing truck, and the nervous dealer started arming his trucks. Other citizens wrote to their Congress man, young ex-Paratrooper John Blatnik, who in turn went to see the President. MT. Truman prom ised immediate action.
