be adopted And in a sense, three tax measures already have been approved In the last election, Democrats captured l9 of 24 seats in the House and of the Senate positions in contest Thus the voters, in leaning toward the cratic platform And this platform has been more definite concerning taxation.
 The three tax bills which form blanks in the Democratic platform are:
 l. general income tax, with allocatons clauses designed fair participation by outside companies doing business in Alaska plus withholding provisions broad enough to include seasonal employees and government contractors personnel
 2 A Territorial tax land and improvements as authorized by the Organic Act.
 g. Trade and occupation licenses a uniform basis to supplant the present patchwork of license taxes.
 The platform further states firm opposition to any form of a sales tax
 The adoption of these three tax measures still will fall far short of raising the funds envisioned in the Board of Budget report however unless the rates imposed sky high
 There is no reason to believe that the l949 Leg preceding Two forces will again be active oper ating under the theory that there should be prac- tcaly no limit to government spending the other plugging for economy and the elimination of the frils.
 We certainly hope that in the all-mportant 1949 Legislature a compromise may be worked out, with both sides giving ground Otherwise it will be the same old story.

THE LEGISLATIVE JOB

Gov Gruenng's decision to call special session of the Territorial Legislature immediately preceding the regular 60 day session has met with varied re- sposes from legislators and voters of the Territory
 Most frequently questioned by people is the legality of calling special session of the Nineteenth Legisla- t,lre before it has had it's regular meeting.
 This matter was settled by the opinion of Attorney General Ralph Rivers given immediately after the call for the special session in which he declared the meet inc of the members the Nineteenth Legislature to be legal
 Furthermore one can be certain that Gov Gruen ine and Department of the Interior counse had estab lished the matter of the legality of this procedure before the call made.
 matter of interest in contemplating the special session is that forty per of the legislators meeting here Thursday to law-making in the Terri tory: Two members of the Senate and fourteen of the twenty-four House members serving first terms.
 It will be up to them to help thresh out what appears to be one of the biggest to confront lawmakers for many year.
 Theoretically, Alaskas government is forbidden %v law to incur debt But deficit approaching million dollars is another thing, regardless of the law. And on top of this deficit budget requests for the new biennium totaling sl75ooOoO about twice the amount appropriated for the last two years.
 It seems certain that some new tax measures

GO IN RED

Jim Kemper, the big life-insur- ance mogul who is treasurer of the Republican National Commit tee, has sent out personalized form letter to thousands of party workers appealing for funds.
 The Republicans are s330,0o0 in the red, says Kemper, and winds up his appeal by asking for the benfit of your recommendations. '"
 To this, one COP recipient of the letter, c. T. Anderson of Ar lington, Va, replied:
 T am not surprised that your accounts may be low. After spend- ing the equivalent of the national debt in the last election, your de- felt of only s330,000 is something to behold. I keep seeing pictures before my eyes of all that display advertising-in Minnesota and Ill., inois. I also remember a guy named Harry Truman being cut off the air during major address for lack of funds Maybe money aint the answer to the problem

 MISUSE OF FUNDS

PARIS, Jan. 4.-tP-The French government began today an invest gation of spending by several gov- ernment ministries after auditors alleged misuse of funds.

MARsHALL's HEALTH

Secretary Marshall's doctors have informed him that he must defin- itely resign as Secretary of State.
 Marshall made a rapid recovery immediately after his operation but since then his recovery has slowed up in rather a disturbing manner.
 The Secretary of State had hop ed to spend Christmas at his Pine hurst home. but couldn't. Later he asked the doctors if he could go to Leesburg. Va.. for the holidays. But the doctors again said no.
 Meanwhile, Mrs. Marshall has put her foot down that her hus- band must resign as Secretary of State. Chief Justice Fred Vinson looks like the man to take his place.

CHINESE BET ON DEWEY

Madame Chisng Kai-shek has confided to friends that she is amazed and stunned by the cold shoulder given to her pleas for help for China. The "Missimo" has been frantically winning and dining all sorts of bigwigs in order to get help for her husbands lost cause but has made no progress.
 Madame Chiang is especially disappointed over her Republican friends, some of whom had assur- ed her that military aid to Chi na was all set. However, that may have been her big mistake. Like lot of other people she bet on the wrong political horse. And though it doesn't influence our Chinese policy. President Truman is plenty burned up over the way Chiang Kai-shek and advisers play ed footy-footy with the Republi- cans and Gov. Thomas Dewey un- til election day.

HOW TO INFLUENCE CHILDREN

Mothers and fathers often wonder whether tain activity of their young and daughters is exactly the wise thing for young people.
 The anxiety of parents about the conduct of their children is understandable Naturally, they sin cerey concerned They want their boys and girls to grow into fine men and women.
 There is a way in which parents can influence the conduct of their children It is not by denouncing their customs punshng the young people After all growing boys and girls require form of amuse ment and social life It is natural for them to con- gregae together If parents dislike current activities might be good idea for parents to provide other activity.
 Before older people complain of what younger people are doing, it behooves them to bestir them selves and what they doing for the boys and girls

Many Of the WASPS did mag nificent jobs, put in grueling hours ferrying planes, did more than ever expected But other lady pi- lots behaved somewhat like their names-they stung There was more jealousy, petty pickering, also more wasted manpower than in any branch of the services. Finally Con- gress and air corps brass hats de- cided the cost of training was too great. The WASPS were disband- ed Miss Cochran then kept the group alive es the Order Of Fi- finella.
 Recently the Order of Fifinella received a letter from it's wartime mistress, which read:
 This information is for our membership or potential member ship and is not for public release, '' wrcte Miss Cochran mysteriously and ioyously. T am very pleased to be able to tell you now that the WASP are going to be offered at an early date commis- sions in the Air Force Reserve.
 WASP who meet the other re- auirements are also going to be able to qualify as second lieuten- ants in the active Air Force"
 Actually the WASPS never held military status of any kind dur ing the war. Nevertheless Miss Cochran expects them now to be- come full-fledged commissioned officers in the Air Force.
 This news had made male pilots irked and unhappy-to put it mild llv. In fact, some are burnt up The Air Force Reserve does not have enough planes to keep its own reserve pilots flying, yet il appears to have agreed to grant commissions for flying time put in with the WASPS.

The Northeast storms during
last week have stirred up Lake
Michigan waters and the con-
tinual pounding of the waves
are again undermining the
Zion Lake Front shore.
The fence-like oak piling
placed along the lake shoreline
by some of the property own
ers in front of their cottages,
is proving of value in keeping
down the damage, as the open
grill of the oak fence breaks
the force of the waves and at
the same time permits the sand
laden water to deposit it's bur-
den back of the fence, thus
protecting the beach.

Picture Token By Bud Toomey
In Germony> April 8, 1915

Clarence is member of the
Photographers Association of
America, and is very interest
ed in the movie of Zion Passion
Play, being filmed by Harry K.
Shigheta, also of the .Photog-
raphic Association of America.
He has also attended ses-
sions at the Fabian-Backrach
Studios in Chicago, who spe-
cialize in pictures pertaining
to weddings, thereby gain valu-
able information and expert
ence along this line.
Mr. Toomey opened his Stu
dio in Zion when he leased the
east part of the building from
j. r. Paxton, who had purchas-
ed the property from Emil
Schattschneider in May, 1947.
The Studio is located at $500
Sheridan Road, and is busy
place, as Clarence has achiev-
ed outstanding success in the
taking of children's photos -
especially baby pictures.
Another line in which Mr..
and Mrs. Toomey are especial
ly tops" is in the taking of
large (and small group pic
lures. Thus, for large wedding
parties grouped on the spa
cious Zion Auditorium plat
form-as in the case of the Nc
Garrahan and McElroy we'd
dings-great clearness of de-
tail has been attained, which,
in itself, is a distinct accom-
plishment.
The Toomey's expert and ar
tistic efforts have secured for
their Studio a large and high
ly appreciative and enthusiast
tic clientele. They also carry
a complete stock of photog-
raphic supplies.
Mr.. Toomey is a member of
the Zion Chamber of Com

sion.
