Alleged unfair" Barden Principle
To the Editor of The Star.

Alleged unfair" Barden Principle
To the Editor Of The Star:
Representative Fogarty (R. H., and others
of its critics. have labeled the Barden Bill
as unfair because it allocates funds on the
basis Of each States total school-age popu-
lation. while it confines those funds to the
use of the public schools. Let us examine
the unfair" principle. The public schools
are for the use of every child. No child is
barred from their benefits. Parents may.
and do enter or withdraw their children at
will Obviously it is the duty of each State
to be prepared to meet the potential demand
Of its total school-age group for educational
facilities-for every child, regardless Of what
school he may attend, has an unquestioned
right to public education In American
practice, the State does not have the privi-
1ege of delegating this duty to others; nor
has 1t the right to assume that, because
private institutions have accepted share OF
the burden, they will continue to carry it
for the State cannot prevent them from
yielding up at any time. through policy or
necessity. their accustomed responsibilities
Since Federal aid Is theoretically designed
to assist the States in their basic educa-
tional efforts, it certainly is logical that 1t
be apportioned on the basis Of potential de-
mand. To deduct nonpublic pupils from
this potential demand would be tacit adj
mission of dependence upon the continuance
OF private facilities. and of the consequent
obligation to support them.

Cardinal Spellman's Protest Suicidal"
The anathemas hurled at Mrs Roosevelt
by Cardinal Spellman will not help the
cause of tolerance. This militant prince OF
the church has branded the opinion Ola
kindly and liberal thinker about pending
Hesitation as documents of discrimination
unworthy of an American mother" Mrs
Roosevelt's temperate opinion was proper
exercise of her inalienable rights as free
citizen in free country. Cardinal Spell
man replied as prince of the church whose
many admirers visualize him as likely
prospect of being the first American Pope.
He warns Mrs. Roosevelt that having
spoken on the subject of separation OF
state and church, he will remain silent
thereafter. To some this will seem to be
premature exercise of infallibility. To
Others the Cardinals denunciation will be
regarded as instruction binding the faith
full to conforming decisions at the political
level Unless disavowed, the Cardinals
heated Intervention as q high prelate IN
debate over pending legislation will prove
that state and church are not as separate
as his polemics indicate.
Years hence the historian may regard
this Incorporate episode as suicidal Tor the
American Catholic Church.

in 1948 there were 100000 to 100000
people in the United States who were hard
of hearing to some extent in one or both
ears, but only 100000 or 100000 adults
were believed to have serious handicaps. and
at least 100000 required hearing aids or
used lip reading, or both. Probably no more
than 100000 used hearing aids. It was also
estimated that there were at least 100000
children in the public schools who were
hard Of hearing but were not sufficiently
handicapped to require hearing aids.

Resents Double Burden for Schools

Resents Double Burden for Schools
To the Editor OF The Star:
Catholics Of the United States are pay
ing millions Of dollars annually for educa-
ton through their parochial schools. in ad-
dition to millions In taxes to educate other
peoples children. for which they get not
one penny in return for their own childrens
education. On top Of this it is proposed
that these already overburdened Catholic
American parents be further taxed for
educational benefits. again from which they
must not receive one cents worth of aid
in return. which every American child has
right to expect regardless of religion.
This is an outrageous situation that would
make any redblooded person angry. The
Catholic Church has remained silent through
many vicious attacks and injustices. and 1t
is about time it spoke out vigorously and
demanded justice, through its leaders, as
Cardinal Spellman had every right to do.

WHAT IT IS ABOUT

SEATTLE, Jan. 20.--tRl-A spokes- man for the Seattle Chamber of Commerce says Alaska will miss out on at least a million dollars a year in direct taxes if it puts through its proposed tax program.
 The Alaska chairman for the Se- attle Chamber, John H. Perry, says John P. Van Orsdel of the Ketchi- kan Pulp and Timber Company has told a Chamber committee the com- pany probably will cancel it's plans for development of the industry in Southeast Alaska if the tax pro gram is enacted
 Perry said he had understood the proposed law would tax pulp at a rate of $8 a ton and a property tax of 20 mills would he collected an- nuaily He said the company estt- mates it could pay a total tax ot about g per ton, creating a reve- nue of $3000o0 annually from one 5G0-ton mill. Perry said with thret or four mills operating at least million dollars would be forthcom- ing in direct taxes and twice ol three times that in indirect taxes

COUNCIL 10 OPEN BIDS FOR WIRING OF SMALL BOAT HARB0R

Opening of bids on equipment for the proposed electric power in stallation at the Juneau Small Boat Harbor will await tomorrow nights City Council meeting, ac- cording to Mayor Waino Hendrick- son.
 Bids will be received until 10 o'clock tomorrow morning on ma- terials, chief of which are 4,000 linear feet of parking cable, june tion boxes, meters and fittings.
 City Attorney Howard D. Stabler will bring in the resolution which the Council asked him to prepare, urging the dredging of Mendenhall Bar in Gastineau Channel. This resolution will be sent to Alaska Delegate E. L. (Bob) Bartlett and others in Washington, D. C., and the Juneau City Council hopes that other such groups, with civic and service clubs, will send similar ones.
 The Mendenhall Bar dredging was approved about two years ago, according to U. s. Engineers offi- cials in Seattle, but stateside pro- jects seem to have had priority. ''
 Necessary steps will be taken at tomorrow's meeing for floating the $260,000 paving bond issue, approv- ed by Juneau taxpayers at the Jan uary Il election.
 The police committee was asked at the first December meeting to give a report tomorrow on the two-way car radio system recently proposed by Frank A. Metcalf, head of the Highway Patrol, which would share the cost.

KETCHIkAN PAPER
 SAYS PULP MILLS
 NOT HURT BY TAX

KETCHIKAN Alaska, Jan. 20.- tYt-The Ketchikan Chronicle pub lshed today an article replying to statements by a Seattle Chamber Of Commerce official about the effect of the proposed Alaska tax pro- gram on the pulp industry in the Territory.
 NO prohibitive tax program faces the pulp industry in Alaska, the Chronicle asserted.
 In a letter to Alaska Chambers of Commerce, John H. Perry, Alas ka chairman of the Seattle c. of C., said he understood proposed laws would tax pulp at rate of $9 a ton and create an annual property tax of 20 mills.
 The Chronicle said no such bill has been introduced. Perry prob ably assumed, the article said, that a proposed mill at Ketchikan would be assessed at the 20 mill rate as proposed in a property tax bill drawn up by the Special Session of the Territorial Legislature.
 The actual fact" the article con- tinued. 'is that the property tax reported out of the Ways and Means Committee yesterday pro- vldes a 10 mill tax and will be amended to give moratorium or other concessions to all new indus tries for a five-to-ten-year period '
 Pelrys letter quoted John P. Van Orsdel of the Ketchikan Pulp and Timber Co.,, as saying the company probably would cancel its plans for development of the industry in Southeast Alaska if the tax program was enacted.
 The Chronicle said the Alaska Development Board has assured company officials the new tax pro- gram is no threat to it's plans.

usually started by commercial
plant growers, the seed can be
started by home gardeners if sown
in a partly shaded spot and care
fully watered the first few weeks.
Here is a tip about watering
lawns and flower beds. Do not
sprinkle lightly each day Just to
cool things Off" Soak the lawn
or flower bed thoroughly once a
week when needed.
Allow roses to rest during Aug
ust, withholding water and ferti-
lizer. Clean up dead leaves and
continue to dust with sulphur and
fermate for blackspot control.
New plants of many shrubs can
be made by taking cuttings now.
To root cuttings, use 5 inches OF
tip growth of shrubs, leaving 2 to
4 leaves on each cutting. Treat
the base of the cutting with root
ing powder. Place in moist sand
to a depth Of 4 inches.
Water cuttings and keep them
shaded until they are rooted.
Suggested shrubs to root in
clude azaleas, camellias, abelia,
hydrangeas and pfitzer juniper.
Prune hydrangeas in August If
it is desired to reduce the size OF
the plants and increase the size
and number of the flowers next
