Hasty Pudding Stuff
Cincinnati Enquirer

If further proof needed to show that Presi- dent Trumans soak-industry cut everybody sin come-tax-S40 scheme hastily conceived political expedient such proof is at hand in the news that the Treasury Department not consulted prior to the announcement of the plan in MT. Trumans state of the Union" address
 The United Press. matter of fact, says sources ccse" to the Presidents Council of Economic Advisors disavow any part in the writing of the proposal-al though the White House press secretary had said that MT Truman conferred with his Council of Economic Advisers and Treasury officials in considering the plan, and "a concerned" made contributions to 1t. | However further indications that the reverse IS true are found in the fact that only now the Treas ury working the details of the S3200OO0O0O boost in corporate taxes which would be necessary to offset the "cost of living" exemption in personal income taxes if the schemes be adopted by Congress We think that it stands to reason that the matter had been approached in a truly businessike manner, and there had been adequate prior consultation of the Treasury and the economic advisers, the Treasury
 would have known the answers long before now in the matter of what changes would have to be made III the corporate tax schedules.
 The conclusion is almost unacceptable that the plan was merely a political expedient MT Truman had vetoed Republican proposals for tax cut claim ing the Federal revenue could not be disturbed and he found himself in a presidential election year when some concession to the taxpayers seemed necessary And somebody we suppose, grabbed out of the air the idea of calling cut cost of living exemption" and offsettng it with increase in the taxes on business Evidently it sounded so good the President started talking about it to the radio net works before he thought to talk it in terms of actual dollars and cents with the Treasury.

ANOTHER SETBACK

When no large company showed up the other day to put in bid for the billion and one-ha feet o Alaskan timber put up for sale through the U $. Forest Service the people of Petersburg must have taken quite jot for the timber offered for sale was the block marked off to supply a proposed news print pulp mill for that area
 While numerous reasons are offered for the fail ure of any large company to bid, the best would be that the Alaskan Indian claimants to the land simply have the potential pulp mill operators scared oil for fear that they will be buying law suit
 The Washington. D. C. attorney for the Indians, and other of their representatives sent out letters scme time ago to all large companies known to be interested in the timber warning that the Federal government had right to sell the timber and the In Hans would fight for their claims in the courts, if necessary.
 Naturally no large concern is going to buy law suit if it can be helped and the opportunities ln Alaskan timber are not too inviting proposition as ye-at least not inviting enough to cause any com pany to come in in the face of such threats.
 These companies probably feel that if the Federal government is offering the timber for sale the gov ernmen should that the title to the timber Will not he questioned in the courts
 Legislation has been introduced to accomplish the purpose of clearing up these ridiculous claims and We hope that some headway will be made soon or We will be too late again.
 1t is quite certain that had the question of the so-caed aboriginal rights been raised Southeast Alaska would have pulp mills on the way by now at Petersburg and Ketchkan The addition of such an industry would come in mighty handy right now with the people of this facing another poor fishing season It would offer employment to Indians now in dire straits because of last years poor fishing

MeGINNIS CREEK MINING COMPANY
 OFFICES 0pENED

The recently incorporated McGin- his Creek Mining Co, of Juneau, has opened a business office in the Caro Building. The company is cap italized for S278,0o0.
 Ray Graf, President. says the company is expanding it's operations and will seek financial support Jack Whitfield is Vice President of the company and M. E. Monagle is Trea- surer. Other members of the Board of Directors are Mrs. L. Jordan, Ethel Gill and Harold Hooper.
 The property adioins the old Mansfield Gold mining Co.,. patent ed mining claims in the McGinnis Creek area above Montana Creek The company has been working the property since 1888 except for the war years. It is a placer deposit and, according to a 1906 U. s. Geo. logical Survey report, corresponds to Gold Creek in it's early days. No later report. of an official nature, is available at the present time from either the U. s. Bureau of Mines or the Territorial Department of Mines. The 1906 report also states that the Mansfield Company stopped work ing it's claims after developments in l904-o5 found that it was impos- sible, at that time, to work the de- posits with a profit
 The new company moved hydrau- lie equipment into it's property last year and expects to increase its act ivity this year. A bridge, constructed hy the Territorial Engineer, and a road to be built from that point, will make the property more accessible.
 Graf said that assays have been encouraging and that he has con- fidence in the future of the pros poets.

U. $. ARMY REsCuEs DYKE

Furthermore. Dyke used his mys- tarious influence to tuln around and sell his peas 10 the Army The Army had been working closely with the Agriculture Department, knew that Cullum had been dis qualified as a dealer But despite this fact, the Army purchased 35,090 bags of peas from Cullum at $7.75 a bag. Since Cullum pur- chased his peas in October for SG0o a bag, this ene deal meant a profit ol $6l,25o
 But here is the most interesting angle about the whole thing. The Army Procurement officer who made the purchase was Ralph Da- wis Of the Army's Chicago Office Shortly after this deal. Davis went to work for Dyke Cullum.
 As a result Of Cullum's heavy purchases Of peas the price was jacked up generally In fact, pri- ces went so night that the Agricul- ture Department refused 10 buy any more peas. They have pulled cut of the pea market completely, buying beans instead. Undaunted, Cullunl is now trying to sell 15,000 more bags to the Army at an even higher price-namely, S8o5 a bag
 The Agriculture Departments boycott of peas has caused Gull lum to start lobbying campaign to lorce the Department back in to the pea market. Cullum's friends in Congress have been bcmbarding the Agriculture De- parment, claiming it is discrim- mating against dried peas by buy ing dried beans instead
 One backstage lobbyist is S. s. McClusky. formerly with the Ma ticnal Grange and now employ ed by Ralph Moore. another close pal and speculating associate of Senator Thomas

CORNER ON PEAS

For instance. last October, MT Cullum corne-cd considerable part Of. the American dried-pea market Without putting up a single nickel, ne purchased ap- proximately 30o,0oO bags of peas. lie did this through Wood Baxter Portland, ore, brokers. who pw- chased vast quantities of peas in the Northwest with the eXplana- ton that they were for conner cial export and that payments therefore would be made only upon delivery Thus Cmlum did not have to put out any immediate cash.
 Since Cuilun was selling for ecmmfrcial export his chief GUS toner naturally would be the US. Government. buying for foreign countries. Under the law, how ever, the government can buy only from an authorized dealer
 In November Cullum su0mlited certificate to the Department Of AarlcuItme, claiming that he was sGeh an authorized dealer The Department Of Agriculture. inyes- iieating the matter, found that he was a speculator rather than q dealer. Accordingly they dis qualified him. refusing to buy any of his peas. This left Dyke Gull

 However, this did not seem to worry Dyke.
