allowing the tax commissioner discretionary power to grant ex- emption from half of the property tax for the first ten years of oper- ation.
 The Governor wired:
 Aside from generous exemp- tionS proposed, may l point out that the income tax (ten per cent of firms federal income tax) will not be applicable until and unless your enterprise is profit able and that the rate in the pro- posed property tax is extremely moderate, being lower probably than any state or area where you or any enterprise might locate. am sure you realize that new in dustry and population, though highly desirable and which we earnestly seek, bring new costs to the Territorial government, in cluding very substantial school expenses which can be met only by general taxation.
 "The present form of the prop erty tax measure is the result of hearings attended by the president of the Ketchikan Pulp and Paper company, who expressed the will ingness of his compan yto pay req sonable taxes, which he believes these to be. He states his company which already has timber under permit, is proceeding with plans and feels protection of the ten year exemption for such an enter prise will provide better assur-

KadOw VisualiZes Vast Development
 In Alaska

SEATTLE, CF) - A decade of projected development of Alaska, streSsing use of government serV- ices to promote private business, is envisioned by Kenneth J. Ka- dow, dierctOr of the Territorial field staff for the department of the interior at Juneau.
 Kadow was in Seattle en route to Juneau.
 Ten years will see development of at least three pulp and paper plants, and great expansion in electro chemical industries" he declared.
 He emphasized the great un- tapped resources of the Territory is the tourist trade, and called for:
 "A combination of private and government initiative to develop on 80 to 100 million dollar tourist trade"
 He said the next three years would see completion of the hard surfacing of all Alaska's main highways and the shortening and strengthening of the Alaska Rail road. Rail improvements, he said, should bring a slash in freight rates. This and departmental pro- , motion of a cement plan: should reduce building costs. He epitomized employment for it's population with cost of living at a propore level" Tourists and the cheaper elec- trical power potential on the North American continent, Kadow said, twill go far toward achieving this goal"

Wednesday. February g. l949

JUNEAU, (PD The Territorial House passed business license tax bill late today, 20-4, with three Democrats and one Repub- lican opposing it.
 The measure, would carry a basic license fee on all businesses and professions, with one-half of one per cent levied on gross in- come above $20,000
 Even if the Senate should ap- prove it, it wouldn't become effec- tive until Congress repeals the present "hodge podge" business li- cense tax provisions affecting Alaska, proponents said.
 Voting against the bill were Democratic Reps. Amelia A. Gun derson, Marcus Jensen and James Nolan, all of the First Division; and Republican Rep. George Mis- covich.
 The House concluded the after noon by passing Rep. Gunderson's bill to increase the hair seal boun- ty from $3 to $6. An amendment by Rep. Amer Rydeen of Nome to include five native villages north of Kotzebue in the area area qualifying for bounties was adopted.
 Passage of the business license 'ax bill came after critics de- nounced it as a form of sales tax. Proponents denied this and ar. oued it wss necessary prop in the basic Territorial tax structure.
 Rep. Clarence D. Heating, An chorage Democrat, declared in closing debate that "it is vitally l impor' ant to the Territory. It will do away with privileged busi-

 Taylor said he has talked to nu- merous legislators and found con- siderable support for the proposal. The tax would be fair stiffer than one formerly in effect for financ- ing the veterans program. Another Taylor tax bill. the general business license levy, is on the House calendar today for the fourth straight day.
 The Senate received a telegram yesterday from an Alaska Indus trial Corporation executive de- claring the new income tax and proposed general property tax threaten to nullify the entire pro- ject' it has planned at Sitka.
 Governor Gruening also receiv- ed telegram from the firm. He prompetly wired the firm that concession to new industry ara in- cluded in the property tax bill as amended in the Senate committee.
 The company has a pulp mill project tentatively scheduled for Sitka.
 The governor wired the firm s president, Paul J. Timbal of New York City, that the Senate taxa ton committee has recommended several changes beneficial to busi- ness including an incentive clause

 since such tax could be imposed by any future legislation without exemptions or special considera- ton of any kind for new indus try"
 The Legislature had one of its quietest afternoons yesterday. The Senate passed three minor bills unanimously. The House was in recess for committee meetings.
 One of the bills, which now goes to the House, would prevent drug gists from issuing small quanti- ties of certain drugs without pre- scriptions.
 The pharmacists association de- Scribed the drugs as habit form ing and said restrictions would eliminate any conflict with feder- al laws.
 The other two measures, previ- ously approved by the House, sim plify the probate of small estates and eliminate the per diem allow ance for Territorial employees on trips taking only a small part of a day.
 The Senate spent much of it's time earlier in the. day discussing a bill authorizing construction of a woman's addition to the pioneer mems home at Sitka. l Soon after assembling for the afternoon session, the upper cham Der voted II to to re-refer the bill back to committee for an amendment to define what consti- tutes a pioneer woman.
 The action came on a motion by Sen. Steve McCutcheon, of the Third Division, after public wei fare director Russell Maynard noted on the witness stand that he did not know who would qual- ify for the home. The reason, he said, was the lack of a definition of female pioneer. Maynard told the Senators that the bill, as drawn, would give the home only to native women. He said that a detailed survey eight years ago showed there were less than 10 women over 60 years of age who , desired such a home.
 ''I don't know any at present tWho 1 can say definitely would want to enter," he declared. { The measure carries a SlO0,O0O appropriation for a Women's addi- ton.

nesses."
 i Rep. Nolan declared it was too all-inclusive and would pyramid taxes, with logs, for example, be- ing taxed when cut, taxed when hauled, and taxed when milled.
 Rep. Warren Taylor, Fairbanks Democrat who authored the bill, denied it would pyramid taxes.
 Rep. Alfred Owen, Anchorage Democrat who criticized the bill earlier in the day as one which would tax the businessman "even if he's losing the shirt off his back" declared "the bill tastes as bad this afternoon as it did this morning, but l don't see how we can do anything else unless we want to live with the old system" |" He voted for it.
 DrugStores were cited specific ally as paying only $50 annual license fee while smaller stores in other lines paid many times more. Rep. Percy E. Ipalook, Eskimo i missionary, got an amendment into the bill exempting native handicraft workers whose gross receipts were under $500.
 Eight bills were introduced in the House in the afternoon, most ly of a minor nature.
 One, by Owen, provides that re- cipientS of unemployment com pensation get 20 per cent allow ance extra for each dependent but not over 60 per cent extra. A memorial to Congress pro- posed by Rep. Abel Anderson of Juneau asks a requirement that the international fisheries com mission include one Alaskan. Il also opposes a proposal for halibut fishing on only the first 10 days of each month during the season.
 This, it declared, would be a great disadvantage for the small Alaska boat operators, while large Seattle schooners could afford to make runs home.
 Major interest today was ex- pected to center on the general property tax bill which is slated for the Senate floor, where it will be open to amendments.
 A memorial to Congress asking authorization for S15,O0O.OOO bond issue by the Territory for school purposes was introduced in the House earlier in the afternoon.
 Proposed by Jack Conright, An chorage Democrat, it would pro- vide flor the exclusive purpose of construction, improvement and re- pair of AlaSka's school facilities. including purchase of school books and equipment"
 The memorial, which will re- quire both House and Senate ap- proval, also proposes that Con- gress make matching funds avail able in whatever proportion it may deem equitable. The memo rial cites the great influx of peo- pie due to federal government de- fens projects as a greater educa- tional burden than the Territory can finance at present, even if all tax bills pass.

THE DIFFERENCE

The main argument for Communism is dutl-
fully swallowed by all party members and fellow travellers
is that it is the only way to the common man"
from cruel exploitation and give him healthier happier
abundant life; the goes for Socialism and
government ownership of business, which just softer
names for Communism. On that premise Russia has built
her police state and her regmented economy in which
private business does not exist there is no real COM
petition, and the government runs everything.
How has it worked out? In capitalistic America, a
wage gets an average of $40 for eight hours work.
Russian has to put in 81 hours of labor to the
equivalent To make still another comparison about 81
hours of work by typical American ndustrialst worker

suit by contrast he must toll than 500 hours and
the chances that the suit will be of rockboom quality
Many factors have contributed to this amazing diff
ference in living standards between two large nations
each of which has been blessed with stores of
materials One of the most important something Amer
take for granted because they have known and
it's workings all their Every
facurer and producer must constantly try to produce
better line of goods to sell at cheaper price, to
offer other nducement to those who buy from him.

Phoenix is Forging Ahead in Musical World

Phoenix is slowly but surely coming into it's With
the advent of weekly band concerts for period of six
weeks Phoenix approaches in entertainment what has
been done for many years in many communities. The
citizens of New York, Boston, Washington, Cincinnati
and many smaller cities witness "for free or at a
small admttance price, of the best operas band and
orchestra concerts and other worth while entertainment
in the country this and other reasons the music edu
cation particularly of the citizens of these cities is far
superior that of less fortunate citizens OF smaller
cities.
In the absence of these outside artists fortunate
have presented in Easake Park this series of
band by local talent The cooperation of
the Phoenix Union High School Board and the Phoenix
City Parks and Recreation Board in making these concerts
possible is commendabe This is the kind of thing that
will help to combat the juvenile delinquency which we
hear much about The fact that these young people
spend hours in preparation for these weekly concerts is
in itself justification of the activity. These hours spent
in worthwhile pursuits might we'll mean the difference
between happy we-adjusted youths and unhappy NAL
adjusted youths who "get into things" The feeling of
belonging to an organization and the satisfaction
derived from performing instrument induces these
young people to spend healthy wholesome hours
With these things in mind, the weekly concerts are
not merely evenings of entertainment for adults and other
youths but they represent investment in future

CLEAR THE AIR

There is almost unbelievable amount of misunder
standing of how much profit industry earns-and how
stockholders and workers fare when to dividing
up income.
For instance, group of employees of representative
American corporations recently asked what they
figured the manufacturer earns in peacetime
what they considered fair profit and here the average
came to 10 per cent Yet the fact is that 2Oyear
period corporate profits in this nation averaged trfle
more than four per cent annualy-wel under half of
what the workers considered fair and less than fifth
of what the workers thought was earned.
These workers also asked this question: "Out
of each dollar paid in dividends to stockholders salaries
to top management and wages to workershow much of
this dollar do the workers get?" The average estimate
Arizona sun., 1949-07-29

that workers get 25 per cent and stockholders and
whopping rs per cent. Actually, an
18year PERIOD the workers received dollars in
every dollar of profit In the best of these
from the stockholders point of vew the ratio four
dollars to dollar In year $22 to dollar
These misconceptions to profits not at the root

DON NEWCOMBE WINS
NEW PLAYER AWARD

New York, N. Y.-Don New
combe, the most publicized player
in organized baseball, won new
laurels this week after being chosen
along with Roy Sievers as Major
League Rockies of the Year"
The selection of Newcombe and
Sievers was made by the Baseball
Writers of America with the hulk
ing Brooklyn Dodgers right handler
bagging 81 out of a possible "a
votes.
Newcombe is regarded as the
most promising hurler to reach the
majors since Rapid Robert Feller's
entry into the senior league.
Newcombe thus became the Sec
ond Negro to win a rookie award.
In 1947 Jackie Robinson was the
choice. Incidentally, the vote that
year was for the outstanding rookie
in both leagues, a procedure also
followed in 1948 when the Braves
Alvin Dark was the winner. This
year the Scribes held a separate
pool for each circuit.
Newcombe easily was the "dif-
ference" which enabled the Dodg-
ers to outscramble the Cardinals
in the torrid National League flag
race. The towering fireballer that
Branch Hickey acquired from the
Newark Eagles of the Negro Ma
tional League in 1916 joined the
Dodgers from their Montreal farm
in mid-May and Immediately made
his presence felt.
The giant 24O-pounder compiled
seventeen victories against eight
defeats, tossed nineteen completed
games and posted five shut-outs.
Hurting the world series opener for
the Dodgers against the Yankees,
Newcombe did an equally brilliant
job only to bow, 10, to Allie Rey-
nolds' epic two-hitter when Tommy
Heinrich smote ninth-inning
homer.
Don Newcombe recently toured
the south on an All-Star barn.

son.
Huge crowds acclaimed the
Dodger star at every appearance.

Philadelphia, Pa.-Ike Williams,
lightweight champion of the world,
was suspended by the National
Boxing Association, at the request
of the California State Athletic
Committee, Wednesday.
But the lightweight kingpin, who
in training fog a December 3 bout
with Freddie Dawson, said he was
too busy to worry about it.
The state commission said it
would not reinstate the champion
until he honors a contract for a
fight with Bernard Docusen or re-
imburse the Los Angeles Olympic
Club for $4,000 spent on the pro-
posed contest.
While the suspension means that
Williams will not be able to box
under NBA auspices it won't have
any effect n the title fight next
week. The NBA covers every state
except New York.

permanently out of normal posi-

with the normal functioning OF the

Regard for posture, making it a
