WASHINGTON STATE COUGARS KEEP LEAD
 IN NV CONFERENCE
lBv The Associated Press)


 Everycody but Oregon States Beavers has had crack at 'em, but the Cougars of Washington state are still uncaught and un- tanned in the Northern Division, Pa cific Coast Conference hoop race.
 The newest victim was the Idaho Vandals, who took a 54-37 mauling Saturday night and sank deep in the division basement On the same evening Washington's Huskie s Chalked up their second straight victory over the Oregon Ducks, 47 to IA, to move into third place.
 The Beavers were idle, enjoying their unthreatened second pla e status. They'll be hosts at Corvallis this weekend to the Huskies in a pair while Idaho goes to Pullman for one Saturday night game with Washington State. Washington State has won five and lost none in conference play.
 Oregon's Rog Wiley put on a great but futile scoring exhibition in Seattle, counting Is points to Washington six late in the tus- sic. When he had narrowed the Husky margin to two points, at 46- A, Washington got free throw and went into stall for two and a half minutes.
 The Webfoots committed 12 fouls in a desperate effort to break up the keep-away game. Washington led at the half, 24-21.
 In all, Wiley got 20 points, and Capt. Bill Vandenburg matched il on the Washington side.

Despite both external and in
ternal difficulties, Government
institutions have consistently de-
veloped and there has been given
to the State of Israel, through
its elected and appointed servants
the true stamp of democracy that
is the cherished heritage of the
Jewish people and the guiding
light of its leaders.
Grave political and economic
hardships face the young and
tiny State of Israel. The road
ahead is full of unrevealed pit
falls. Huge sums of money for
capital investments to increase
productivity both industriallv
and agriculturally are needed to
absorb the new immigrants into
lsraelS economy and develop to
the full all the resources of our
state. Steps have been taken to
build houses, to found new set
Elements and to establish new
factories. The people of Israel
proudly bear heavy burden to-
day whose rewards will only be
apparent in the distant future.
Politically much remains to be
done to define frontiers and in
tegrate Jerusalem in the states
living structure. AS a loyal and
constructive member of the Unit
ed Nations Israel will make it's
impress on a troubled and I'M
easy world. Democracy must
find its true expression in Israel,

"a democracy that can contribute
to international cooperation and
to the well-being of all peoples
and all nations.
What is unfolding in Israel to-
day is a new social and national
creation, the building of new
society, linked by inseparable
ties with the Jewish past and
its heritage. What began with
the Blum 80 years ago and was
demonstrated by the founding of
Petah Tiqvah, Gedera, Nahalal
and Negba is now taking place
with a hundredfold intensifica-
ton within the framework of an
independent Jewish state. Each
new year adds much to that pro-
cess, phenomenon of signifi-
canoe not only for the Jewish
people but for humanity.
Let us hope that the New
Year $40 will play its part in
this tremendous undertaking in
Israel and that Jews everywhere
will continue to aid and support
the development of Israel.

A SANITARY CODE FOR THE v. 1.

A SANITARY COD O THE v. l.
AGAIN o THIS term of the legislative Assembly.
here is to be considered some sort of sanitary code for the
lT5in Islands. Previously, there had been some thought to
such a bill, but technicalides, the language, and other diff
o'ltles arose making the passage impossible. The Acting Gov
rnor has sent the Assembly for consideration a number of
bills, and among these is one on a uniform sanitary code.
ABOUT time that there be a sanitary code. 1t is
ocsssary. 1t is desirable, for such a bill covering all phases
the problem, will serve to protect the health and welfare
the people Of these Islands. 1t is rather unusual that des-
lite our high standard of civilization, if not of living, we
have not seen fit to put on the books any sanitary code to
which all must conform. In every other community there
is such a code pontiong to the protection of public health,
and it will be found that as the tourist trade develops, and
more and more outsiders visit our shores, that they will look
tor such a code, and even demand one. But over and above
that we must begin to think in terms of our own welfare.
POINTING TO HI great need for such a code is the
TACT that business, particularly in the manufacture and sale
Of f%oodstuffs, is almost entirely on a personal, hand-to-hand
basis. Bakery, laundry service, restaurant and other public
food services, are personal, and are based entirely upon the
Individual standards which each and every person engaged
il these enterprises sets up for himself. This leads to myriad
standards, and absolutely no. control. And here is where a
uniform code will serve its purpose. On the street corners
are vendors who ply their candy to school children. This
candy is open, dust ridden, fresh or stale, as the case may
be, with no guarantee as to the methods used in the original
making, And this is but one small example of a product in
which there is absolutely no control. of course, any legis-
lation which seems to protect people is going to be mfavor-
able, for people do not like changes particularly where it re-
quires the observance of standards. The old, placid, method
is always SO easy and simple. But we must awaken to the
and best interests such a code fact that for our own welfare

License Taxes ..

Congressional action was com pleted last week on Delegate Bart let's bill affecting business and trade license taxes in Alaska.
 The bill, which is now before President Truman, having passed the Senate August 27, repeals a law which has been on the books for 50 years. That law, in effect since 1899, established a system of business and trade license taxes collected and placed in the federal treasury in the so-called Alaska Fund" for disbursement for spe- cific Alaska purposes such as pub lie schools in the Territory, relief of the indigent and for wagon roads, bridges and trails.
 It has always been necessary, however, for annual congressional approval for the disbursement of these funds. The 1949 Territorial legislature passed a law this year spelling out license taxes to be in force as soon as congress repealed the 1899 law.
 "The Territorial government of Alaska" Under Secretary of the Interior Chapman stated in the de- partment's report on the measure, "is being called upon to shoulder increasing burdens imposed by an expanding population, due in a pre- ponderant measure to increased military and civilian activities of the federal government in Alaska. In order to cope with these addi- tional burdens and increased re- responsibilities and to make adequate provision for the health, education, public welfare, and safety of it's expanding population, the Territo- rial government must be able to

 The funds are contained in the third deficiency bill which also al- lows $75,OOO for salaries and ex- penses of enlarged federal Housing and Home Finance Agency actlvl- ties in the Territory anticipated to be necessary under the Alaska Housing Act.

tap additional sources of revenue. The schedule of taxes set forth in the 1899 act is now largely out of date. They need to be altered and amended. The federal government should withdraw from this field. No benefits accrue to the federal government from these taxes. as they are deposited in a special fund and used for specific Territorial purposes"
