LEGION MEETING WELL ATTENDED
 MONDAY NIGHT
Legislative Committee 10 Be Appointed for Leg
 isIation Study

me meeting Ol JuIltdu EOSI NO. 4, The American Legion, on Mon- : day evening was notable for two reasons. First, the attendance of
 members and visitors was the larg-
 est in number that has been ex-
 perienced for a long time, and
 second, it was decided to appoint legislative committee to study
 the acts of the Legislature of AL aska, now in session.
 With Commander Chester Zeng- CT in the chair, a well filled sche- dule of business received careful , consideration. Reporting for the
 Americanism Committee of which
 he is a member, Second Vice Con- mander John Tanaka outlined plans for the meeting to be held Mon-
 day night, February 7th, when the
 members of the troop of Boy
 Scouts will present a demonstration of Scouting This will be one of the events in the greater Juneau Community marking the annual observance of Boy Scout Week
 which is receiving national &C.,
 claim. This year marks the 39th anniversary of the founding of the
 Boy Scouts of America.
 Following this committee report by Tanaka, Maurice Powers, Alaska Executive for the Boy Scouts of America organization outlined fur ther plans for the evening. These
 will include showing a sound mo- tion picture in color, and other phases of the program to be
 brought to the organization. This
 is the first meeting of 1949 which
 will be shared by both the Le-
 zion Post and the Auxiliary. Refreshments will be served by the Auxiliary committee and a large turn out is expected. Boy Scout Troop SIS, sponsored
 by the local Legion body is one of
 more than 5000 similar troops
 which function under guidance of
 The American Legion.
 Leading up to the decision to select legislative committee to represent the local body of vet erans was a report brought before the gathering by Homer G. Nord- ling, Department of Alaska Legion commander.
 In a recent meeting of the Jack Henry Post No. l., of which Pete Melseth is commander, a resolu- tion was passed which placed that
 unit of the organization on record
 as being opposed to the measure
 currently before the Territorial
 Legislature providing assistance of 5000 monthly to aliens and to re-
 cent arrivals fin Alaska.
 While the discnssion on this sub
 ject revealed that the membership
 was very sympathetic to the posi-
 tion taken by their associates at
 Anchorage, it was deemed wise and
 Post Commander zenger was au-
 thorized to meets the situation by
 the selection of this committee
 whose function will be to make a
 careful survey of the provisions of
 the proposed measures for final ac- tion of the local group.
 As a means ssof raising funds for Uost No I, 1t was decided to conduct a turkey shoot" in the
 Legion Dugout Thursday evening,
 February 10th. Further committee appointments and details of the Americanism meeting of Monday
 evening will be announced. Mrs.
 Waino Hendrickson is Chairman
 of the Americanism Committee for the Auxiliary.

Get your score card hcre!" men,
bers OF the Chicago Typographical
Union are. shouting At entrances TO
Cubs and Sox Parks these days.
It's the newest wrinkle i'll their 10
month battle against the Chicago
newspapers.
The Daily News vendors charge
IS cents Tor a paper, scorecard and
pencil. Now the Typos hand out
slick score cards FREE, and all
the newsboys can sell is the pencil.
Over 100000 cards were passed out
at Cubs park in the first week Of
the drive. The back OF the card
says, STRIKE ONEl Chicago's
union printers are still on strike
against Chicago's daily newspapers
their first strike in 81 years The
card calls on baseball fans TO re-
fuse to buy the Chicago daily news
papers. Proof OF the success OF
this novel union effort is that since
the score card campaign opened
newspaper sales at Cubs park have
fallen of 10 a tricklc.
The Carpenter thinks that
unionism is the antidote for delin-
quency. 1t feels that b~asically there
Is no more potent force in the war
on crime and delinquency than the
organized labor movement. Where
as most programs developed by pro-
iesslonal rciormcrs concern them
selves with people who have already
become moral dclinqucnts, labor
strikes al the very heart Of the
problem--the conditions which make
for lawleSsncss.
No one denies that poverty, in
security, educational DEFICIENCIES, and
inadequate living conditions breed
crime. But the very essence of la
Dor union philosophy rcvolves around
better living standards, better work
ing conditions and a better lot III
lie for those who must work with
their hands and brains for a living.
Human dignity and scli-rcspcct, no
less than wages and conditions, are

A FABLE

According to the fable, a dog
once found a bruin bone and IA
on his way home with it when he
happened to cross a bridge. Looking
in the river he saw his own %reflec-
ton. which he took to be another dog
IN the water with a bone much lar
ger and %jucier than the one he had.
Instantly the dog dropped his bone
and dove in after the reflection.
BY the time he discovered the fu-
tility OF his effort and swan ashore,
another wiser dog had taken the
real bone he left on the bridge.
The moral OF this story could we'll
be taken to heart by some OF the
states, with particular application to
their attitude toward highway reve-
nues. Although they are collecting
more money for highways than ever
before, some are inclined to dis
regard what they have, and to con-
centrate OH getting additional money
through heavier taxes on highway
users.
The result, IN some cases, is that
existing opportunities in the road
improvement field are neglected.
II the dog with the bone had
made the most Of his find, instead
OF chasing phantoms, he would have
enjoyed a good dinner. If the states
made the most of their postwar
record road revenues, they would
have good road programs. In fact.
they would be able to enjoy much the
biggest and best road program in
their history.

Letters Received BY
Union Of Butte
Where Did Appropriations for
Transmission Lines Coz"

AIAuSIllSSlOu Lines OOg
Your letter OF July 10 has been
received.
A question OF Federal policy is
involved in all these transmission
lines, as pointed out in both House
and Senate reports. Both the Dem
ocrat Congress this year and the
Republican Congress last year de-
cided that parallel lines built by
the Federal Government. free of
taxation, were not III the best in
terest OF the people.
Therefore, you can see that this
question is not a partisan political
issue, but a matter OF policy to
preserve an already-existing tax
structure which helps to support
schools. towns and county Govern
ments.
While il is naturally tempting to
desire what is called cheap power
it has been demonstrated that big
companies and corporations are al
ways the ones who receive the great
est benefits from such cheap power.
Then additional taxes are slapped
upon the homes and farms Of the
people to support the functions Of
government.
1t IS necessary to connec Grand

to make possible the distribution OF
government power Tor the benefit
OF all the people of the Northwest.

constant detectives of unionism.
Perhaps il some OF the people in
Washington who are today seeking
to pass labor-cripplins legislation
understood these things, they would
not be so keen to do the bidding OF
the vested interests.
Advance publication OF the
.Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
tells the following story;
According to page 1911 OF the
Congressional Record, the U. S.
Savings and Loan League, one OF
the main anti-housing Hobbies, re-
Gently put out an advertising APP
peal" to savings and loan institutions
telling them how to spend their adj
vertising dollars. Saying half the
families i'll the Us. make $l,440
a year and over. the League asks,
how about the lower half? It's a
market you don't want Food
and shelter alone eat up 74.6 per
cent OF their incomes. They can't
save. They can't buy homes. So
forget the bottom half"
Now the only thing IS million
families have to do is remember
they're forgotten.
Does your local union have good
officers This important question is
asked BY the "I.aborer,' official
magazine Of the IIod Carriers,
Building and Common Laborer's
Union.
\ number OF things make a union
officer good, First OF all is his job
attitudc-hc must consider he is
an officer TO serve, not to rule. The
good officer must be intelligent. II
is not necessary that he have a lot
OF book learning, but that he have
a clear mind, capable OF reasoning
in%tclligently and deliberately care
fully. Beware OF the bull headed
officer. Beware OF the "good-timc
Charlie who maintains his popu-
larity by ~gladhanding. And the
'pushcr' who doesn't know how TO
let well enough alone is not Of
leadership quality. Finally, a union
officer must have enough personal
stature TO merit the respect OF man
agcmcnt.
Every union member owes it to
himself TO see that his leaders really
qualify Tor their jobs.
Slackcrs in democracy, the Rail
way Clerk calls us-and with good
reason. The United states may be
the worlds largest and most power
tul democracy, but its a cinch that
American voters do not take their
democratic obligations as seriously
as voters III sister nations. And here
are the figures that prove it.
In the latest general election y
per cent OF the potential voters i'll

IN France. ~ per cent; in Great
