the unemployment compensation
measure to bring down its cost
somewhat.
Cost estimates obtained from the
Social Security Administration show
the measure would cost about sl2,-
1000 a year, which is far less than
had been expected. Consequently,
the bills sponsors are very much
encouraged regarding favorable re-
action by Congress.
The bill is very much needed. 1t
would provide Federal employees
with maximum unemployment COM
pensation payments of rs weeks,
with minimum weekly payment
of $40. And dismissed workers also
would get two weeks severance oay.
UPWA OBJECTS-As was to be
expected, UPWA President Abram
Flaxer has objected sharply to the
anti Communist rider the House
adopted last week. The amend
ment, which is aimed at UPWA,
would result in the firing of en-
ployes belonging to unions whose
officers 90 not sign non Commu-
list affidavits.
In his statement, Mr.. Flaxer
sharply attacked the rider as re
vealing the deep-rooted hatred of
the labor movement among the
great majority of the members of
the House of Representatives"
The UPWA leader said the anti
Communist affidavit provision OF
the Taft-H Hartley Act does not apply
to Government employees. because
they have no need to use the facili-
ties the National Labor Relations
Board.
Congress Is creating an Alice-in-
Wonderland situation with a rider
which says that unions of public
employees must comply with certain
regulations in order to avail them
selves Of facilities and services
which are specifically denied them, u
Mr.. Flaxer declared
Mr.. Flaxer said his union Is pin
ming its hopes on the Senate to
reject the rider. Senate action on
the amendment is expected within
the next few weeks.
CLEARED UP - The Senate
Service Committee has corrected an
error that would have brought
some of the Navy Department. S
classified employees under wage
board procedures.
AS We disclosed on Sunday, the
committee Inadvertently included
Nays classified employees in a bill
to change wage board procedures.
But it quickly corrected the error,
and Navy's classified employees have
nothing to worry about. A change
to wage board procedures might
have meant salary decreases for
classified employees.

The leaflet explains the origin

Of our income derives from our
tourist trade and the physical
beauty Of our shade trees plays
an important part in the at
Effectiveness of our community.
For a relatively small cost, we
can protect our famous elms. If
We do not protect them, we will
eventually be foced with the
much heavier expenses involved
in the removal.
There can be no question as to
which choice should be made.

We need action now +. Thorough

Valley frontiersman., 1948-04-14

Another penalty charge for failure to file a declaration of ownership of land will fall due soon, attorney Herman H. Ross warned Valley residents this week. MT. Ross explained that an act of the territorial legisla- ture in 1945 requires that every person, who owns any land or any interest in land lying outside the limits of an incorporated city, must file with the U. S. Land Office a declaration of ownership.
 The law became effective on June 21, 1945, and required that all such declarations be filed before June 30, 1946. Owners who fail to make such declara- ton are penalized $5 each year for their failure to file. Interest at the rate of 6 percent is as- sessed from January l.
 The penalty becomes a lien on the land, MT. Ross said. If that penalty is not paid after four years, the territory of Alas ka has the power to foreclose the lien and take possession of the land. However the attorney general is required to file a de- linquent penalty list at the end of the four years, and a land owner is granted an additional 60 days within which to redeem his land.
 Any person claiming any in- terest in the land may pay the penalty in order to protect his interest. Those who retain in- terest in the land, but who do not have full ownership, also may file a complaint in district court 20 days after the end of the 60-day period of redemption.
 Once the lien has been fore closed by the territory, the land is permanently lost to its owner.
 There is no charge for filing the declaration of ownership re-
