RELIGIOUS DEBATE IN
CONGRESS

Most important issue now being
discussed in Capitol Hill cloak
rooms is the religious fight over
Federal Aid to Education. This
was brought 10 head when Card
inal Spellman hurled the "bigot'
charge at Congressman Graham
Barden of North Carolina, author
Of the provision that no money
from the education bill be used for
any religious school. whether Cath
Ole, Baptist or Methodist.
Ever since, Congressmen's offices
have been deluged with mail-on
both sides of the question-some of
it bitter.
One Congressman who met the
issue early is Rep. Andrew Jacobs
Indiana Democrat, himself Cath
clio, but who has defended Barden
against Cardinal Spellman's attack
Going back to his home town
indianapolis. some time ago. Jacobs
attended a Knights of Columbus
meeting where he put the issue OF
federal education up to large
group of Catholics. After lengthy
debate the consensus was that feder-
al money should not go to paro-
chial schools.
The only one who disagreed.
says Congressman Jacobs, was the
priest. The non-clergy Catholics
all felt there was a great danger
to the church if federal money was
used for church schools Eventually
the government might dominate the
thinking of those schools"

STATE OVER CHURCH

Congressman John McSweeney of
Ohio has taken a similar view
Writing to Father Edward S. Han
non of Wooster, o., McSweeney ar
gued:
Although I realize that parents
of parochial school children are
taxpayers, / know that you will
agree with me in that these par
ents have the freedom of choice
between sending their children to
a public or parochial school.
Il wish to point out also that

FOURTH DIVISION
 LEGISLATORS TO
 PRESS TAX LAWS

FAIRBANKS. - Alaskans must trace themselves to start digging
 deeper to pay the mounting bills of
 the Territory.
 This is the conclusion that jump ed last night from the pledge of four of the Fourth divisions nine- memter delegation to the Alaska legislature to introduce or support four separate forms of taxation plus sales tax ii there is no other
 way out"
 The legislators-Senator Andrew Nerland and Representative Frank Angerman, Essie R. Dale and War ren Taylor-were guests and con- sultants to roundtable discussion
 called by the Junior Chambec of Commerce for the purpose of public
 expression before the lawmakers depart for an extraordinary session of the legislature
 Proposed bills to which the legis- i.tors gave unanimous approval were all recommendations of the legislative committee of the Junior Chamber.
 PROPOSED LAKES Taxation measures the elected of
 ficials said they would support were:
 l. A tax, in licensing form or otherwise, on all businesses operat- ing in Alaska, including those whose home offices are in the states. (This was applied especially to transpor- tation firms such as the major air. lines and steamship companies)
 2. A general income tax, prob ably based on 10 per cent of federal income taxes and, in the case of transient workers, computed and withheld from amounts earned within the Territory.
 3. A general property tax. involv- ing property beyond the corporate limits of municipalities and limited by statute to two per cent. 4. A scaled tax on motor fuels with a local allocation clause for the improvement of streets and roads within cities and towns which are integral parts of Territorial highway networks. Without exception, the legislators voiced disapproval of a retail sales
 tax fin principle" but all four quot ed specific instances wherein tax of this type might be justified and
 necessary.

Blanks To Be Used

Mississippi is one of the first
states to adopt the standard birth,
stillbirth and death certificate
blanks which went into use first

ment have announced. These
will replace all blanks previously
used.
The revised banks were pre-
pared by the state registrars Of

States in cooperation with the
national office of vital statistics in
Washington and other agencies.
They will be used in practically

system of registration record may
be easily secured by writing the
