Thoughts on Life
Neglected Book
By DR.. JOHN HOLLAND

SIR WALTER SCOTT, a-dying,
asked his servant toeplace the book
under his head. Lockhart asked,
(Which book?"
'The Bible. There is but one
Book"
The Bible is the most printed and
the least perused of all books. 1t is
the most praised and the least
practiced. Most American homes
have a copy or two, but too few
families take the time to. read it
aloud in the home.
1t has happened in our times that,
because of differences in under
standing the Bible, it is practically
barred from the minds of our chill
dren. AS literature, as history, as
poetry, as a compendium of moral
precepts and as a gold mine of high
meanings in the parallels and teach
ings of Jesus, the Bible is unap-
proachable.
We seem to be making a mess of
the moral and spiritual side of edu-
cation because we are ~neglecting
the Bible. Be that as it may, the
Bible does not need any defending
bat merely reading. AS a story of
gifted people, both as sinners and
saints, there crops out in the Bible
bright lights for the moral guidance
Of people amid the testing tempta-
tons of ordinary life.
I was interested in what some of
our American presidents have had to
say about the Bible. You, also, may
be glad to read the tributes voiced
and written by some of our greatest
presidents. It is well known that the
literary style, a well as the moral
principles of Abraham Lincoln,
were largely nodded by his reading
his Bible. He said: "A1l the good
from the Savior of the world is COM
municated through this Book-An
the things desirable to man are con-
tanned in it,"
Upon the tomb of George Wash
ington at Mt. Vernon are words said
to have been selected by himself:
Il am the resurrection, and the life
he that believeth on me, though he
were dead, yet shall he i've" Presi-
dent Washington so revered the
name God, that he cautioned his of
ficers to set before their soldier,
language free from profanity.
President Theodore Roosevelt, 1
nan of action and decision of char
acter, said often: you may worship
God anywhere, at any time, but tht
chances are that you will not do so
unless you first learn to worship hin
somewhere in some particular place
at some particular time" The Rougl
Rider President carried a little new
testament in his hand satchel.
Among u Presidents will Away
stand high the name of Woodrow
Wilson. He stated in an address t.
school teachers There lies at tn
foundation of all schooling AM
all our thoughts the incomparabl
and unimpeachable Word of God.
He also said: "You will know tn
Bible is the Word of God when yo
read it; for in it you will find tn
key to your own heart, your ow
happiness and your success. I be

EMPLOYMENT AND 1949
Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 While there has been recession in employment, many authorities say the situation is not yet indicative of an important decline in the number of Americans gainfuy employed That levelingoff is in process, however, seems indisputable.
 Industrial organizations with tremendous backlogs of orders in the labor market tooth and nail for several years immediately after the During those years the shortage of labor acute Management felt forced to take all the it could get, regardless of abilities, traningand often regardless of price This situation resulted in suited both in price and quality product.
 As the employment picture returns to balance these detracting factors will shrink. Employees will be as- sured of jobs but the day of pay without production will pass. This will react to the great benefit of the sumer-as we'll to the ultimate benefit of labor and management Cutthroat competition for workers also the wane-and that too will have beneficial ef feet on entire industrial structure.
 In general, the outlook is encouraging-encouragn for management We can hope that industry, within the coming months will arrive at state of balance in which prices, supply employment and profits will as sume the normal levels which go with true and satisfactory prosperity.

Excise-Tax Cut 'Mades,C. P.'s Major Goal

WASHINGTON, IP) - The House Republican leadership to- day made cut in wartime excise taxes its major objective for this Congress.
 At its first meeting of the year. the party's House policy commit tee approved statement saying "the wartime excise taxes should be cut back at once to the prewar 1941 rates"
 Excise taxes are the levies on telephone bills, railroad tickets. furs, luggage and the like. All of them were raised sharply during the war.

BAKU RESTORATION PUSHED

MOSCOW e(P)-From Baku it is reported that the last three years have progress in the restoration of oil output of the important oil fields of this petroleum center. An editorial in "Baku Worker stated recently that during the first three years the postwar five plan 1946 1947 948 oil production there had increas ed 21 percent In addition it stated oil refining had n creased by 314 percent in the period and that nat ural gas extraction had increased 23.6 percent.
 The Chairman of the State Planning Commission of the USSR, N. AsVoznessensky, announced in 1946 in connection with the postwar fourth Five Year Plan that during this plan Baku oil output would increase by 50 percent and reach 17, ,0OO, 900 metric tons in 1850
 We can't expect to get with people by telling them off!

 NEWS LETTER
tBy Mary Lee Council)

Four of Delegate Bartlett's bills, having been reported favorably by the House Public Lands Com mittee, will come up for vote in the House within the next few weeks. In addition three private relief bills sponsored by the Dele gate have been reported favorably by the House judiciary committee, and one such measure was passed by the lower house last. week.
 One of the four general pieces of legislation would provide that patented mining claims in Alasks, for purposes of taxation by the Territorial legislature, would be valued at flat rate fixed by the legislature or at the price paid the United States.
 The Alaska Council of Boy Scouts would be able to buy through the secretary of the inte- rior 240 acres of land situated midway between Anchorage and Palmer on the Anchorage-Palmer highway if the second measure re- ported is enacted into law. The land is desired for recreational and other public purposes. Alaska will have a princess in the Cherry Festival scheduled for Washington the latter part of March or early in April, depend cit upon the blooming period of the blossoms.
 Delegate Bartlett has designated Miss Virginia daGanahl to repre-. sent the Territory. Miss deGanahl,, ,, of Juneau, is the daughter of Mrs. deGanahl and the late Command CT Joe deGanahl, USN. She is at tending Mount Vernon Seminary for Girls in Virginia.
 Delegate Bartlett, pointing out that the plan under which the agreement Wll1 AidShd olSdlllSlilJ ! Company was recently approved, i like previous plans have been temporary only, and has asked
 Congress to appropriate S5O,O00 to work out long-range program ! to solve the Alaska shipping prob i lem. He has proposed that the 1n- terior Department Appropriation Bill for the fiscal year 1850, now l being considered on the House side, include such sum, as he be- ! lieves that officials of that depart ment are the best equipped in the federal government by tn e r knowledge of the situation to work out the long-desired solution to the problem.
 1 Grant R. Jackson. president of the Miners and Merchants Bank of Alaska, is a Washington visitor from Nome.

NEW TAXES, NEW APPROPRIATIONS KEEP PACE
 (By James Hutcheson)
 JUNEAU, (F)-As the legislature heads into the home stretch the Senate finance committee chairman estimates that taxes just about keeping pace with the budget and new appropriations.
 Sen John Butrovich, Jr., Fairbanks Republican who keeps eagle eye the probable income and out go in his key chairmanship, lists S18,OOOOOO as the probable take" for the general fund from taxes the books They include the income and general property taxes and the quadrupled fish trap taxes Some legislators have expressed fear the fish trap tax may be open to court challenge possibly dscrmina tory because of the sharp increase)
 Burovich bases his figures the estimates of the tax commissioner, with bit of pairing on figures he con- sdered too optimistic.
 He lists another $5 O47 OOO as the revenue potential for tax bills which in his committees hands March 2 (They did not include either the general buS license tax the $37OOOO addition to the school tax both of which have passed the House)
 The bills before the committee with the estimated $5O47 900 potential the fish-canned salmon tax tobacco tax and admissions tax measures. All given a good chance of legislative approval
 That would make the estimated revenue total rough VI $23000,000 without figuring the business license levy.
 A $2O 900, 900 revenue estimate made by Sen. Howard Lyng, Democratic rules committee chairman, in floor discussion of finances few days ago. He tmaed there might possibly be surplus for the ben nium.
 Against the revenue prospect there the $17 341 request by the board of budget On top of that Butro V1cn llSCS S4o4UUU SpeclIlc which the legislature has made and the governor has signed. The major items $250,000 for the Alaska Housing Authority, $50000 for legislative session expenses $5OOOO increased aid to dependent children and $50000 for increased hair seal bountes. In add tion there is 900 total of continuing appropria tions from the 947 session-$2OOOO for Territorial audit, $165OOO for hospital construction and $1O000 for the game commssion-for which money is supposed to be provided when it is available
 Those items raise the total of budget requests and acted appropriations to $18032,577. That barely over-balances the $18000,000 revenue estimate from taxes now in effect. Butrovich pointed out that the budget figures might be cut some. Most departments included salary in- creases which they might not get ~-
 But while most of the tax proposals have reached the finance committee the parade bills with new appro- priaton proposals-arge srnall-continues
 Bills before the finance committee with appropria- tions at the date of the charmans summary, were: $25OOOO for setting up department of fisheries $93 535 for raising Territorial salaries $500 for labor de- partment deficiency.
