The C.ad&e RoeGe.

Tt is entirely immaterial to us what the people want. We will decide what they shall have"
 How well do you know your history? Were these words spo- ken by King George III in 1776? Were they the words that tipped the scale, that became the last straw on the camels back which so incensed our forefathers that they Waged war to set free the people of Thirteen Colonies and established the greatest Re public in the world?
 Or was this sentence pro- nounced by Joseph Stalin and the Politburo set up to control hundred million people on the European continent who are not allowed to think for themselves?
 No, My Friends, neither a tyrant king nor a contemporary dictator is guilty. They were spoken by a member of the Civil Aeronautics B oard in Washington, A SERVANT of the people, in the capital city of the country that is trying so hard to prove to the rest of the world that a democratic government is the best govern ment.
 It is little wonder that just such a statement from a minor government official is taken up and enlarged upon by Commu- nistic peoples to disprove our arguments for fir d om of speech.
 Jack Scavenius, president of Mt. Mckinley Airways, Inc, makes the public statement that the above quotation were the exact words of Josh Lee, a mem Der of CAB. MT. Scavenius was referring to his experience in Washington where he went to make plea for the non sched- uled airlines so vital to the traf- fife of Alaska.
 If this doesn't make the red blood of every American born citizen boil at fever pitch, then there is something radically wrong with us. The Non-Skeds are the very life line of the Territory, and CAB seems de- termined to snuff out that life at it's source.
 Baranof's colonists had phrase to describe their situa- tion which was very similar to our own. Heaven is too high, and the Czar too far away to hear our cry Truly it seems to us in Alaska that Heaven is too high, and Washington too far away, too deaf, too ignorant of the truth, too militantly stub- born, to admit that one hundred thousand Americans in Alaska are capable of knowing what they want and what is best for them.

LAND VALUES

-
THE SUDDEN increase in price of land near the two
towns is creating a problem which works undue hardshipsl
on owners OF real estate. An example will serve to point out
the problem. One owner has lot A, his neighbor has lot B.
Both lots IS assessed, for example, at $1,000. Then along
comes someone and for sentimental or other reasons, buys lot
A for $4,000. The owner of lot B does not sell. With the year
when property is reassessed, the owner of lot B will find him
self paying three times the amount of taxes he paid the year
before, yet his income is the same. But this even goes to plots
of land in the rural districts.
Hill IT is true that in any given area land is normal
y assessed uniformly, there is no reason, in the face of CON
drlonS justifying otherwise, why we here should follow with
out applying the type of solution which meets our condition.
1t might even be advisable to add another classification to
land which, because OF its nearness to town, its adaptabi1ity
Tor residential purposes, and other factors ceases to be purely
rural. And ~buthfuly such land is semiwban, if such a term
can be used.
NTHESE DAYS of economic crises, nothing seems easy
The government must function, and in order to function most
effectively must have money, and its principal source is
through taxes. On the other hand taxes must be so assessed
as to avoid creating an undue burden on any individual or
group OF individuals, particularly when these taxes come
about because of what someone else might have done which
has no relation to any accepted formula.
NO DISCUSSION OF the assessment of land can escape
the fact that in all such situations, speculation enters the pic
ture. Needless to say there is little place for such speculation
People who own plots for their personal use should remem-
Der that some day the boom will die down just as quickly as
it flared up, and that it is better to have value in the form Of
land than cash, particularly when the uncertainties Of the
times may change the relative values.
In ALL THESE matters the legislature is faced with
problems which are by no means easy, and careful and timely
study must be given each and every condition.

College glee clubs occupy unique
place musically which no other group
fcan fill-refecting the carefree days

tage of untold generations of stu
dents roll back the years and bring
to listeners, for ffeeting hour, the
golden aura of youth.
Hothouse tomatoes are coming on
the Bluffton market grown on the
r. A. Stratton farm south of Bluff
ton where Stratton and his son
James are operating a big glassed-in
greenhouse covering a quarter-acre
of land. This is the first production
of their project started early in
March when they set out $4,000
plants under glass. They have two
greenhouses each % by 200 feet and
specialize in tomato growing. The
younger Stratton is no novice in the
business, having had experience in
indoor tomato growing with Toledo
establishment.
And speaking of out of season
delicacies, Maynard Geiger has
quart of mushrooms frozen in his

rooms-30 of them-last Saturday,
had enough for the family's supper

Good response from Bluffton flow

trees in this vicinity other than

Lehmans, northwest of Bluffton

tree, a bit different from those here

Trade Pact With u. ).
Discussed by Peron
| And Edward Miller
BY the Associoted Press

BUENOS AIRES, Feb. %
President Peron and Edward G.
Miller. jr., United States Assistant
Secretary of State, are holding
series of conferences looking to-
ward new trade treaty between
Argentina and the United States.
Neither Gen. Peron nor Mr.. Mil
Ter has made any public statement
on these conversations, but in
formed diplomatic quarters said
the talks have been held in an
atmosphere of cordiality and
frankness that may produce af-
firmative results.
No representative of any foreign
government has held such long
sustained talks with Gen. Peron
as has Mr.. Miller. Tuesday the
Assistant Secretary spent nearly
10 hours in the Presidents COM
pany. He was with Gen. Peron
three hours the day before and
will pay a farewell call today.
1t was reliably reported during
the course of the conversations,
at which Gen. Peron's economic
advisers were present, that Argen-
tina suggested negotiating a
treaty of economic development
along the lines of a model agree
ment the United States already
has signed with Uruguay, Italy
and Ireland, providing fair treat
ment" for North American capital
Successful negotiation of such
treaty would put North Amer
ican-Argentine trade relations on
more favorable footing since
one of the major problems be-
tween the two countries is
complaints of North American
companies here that they are not
getting a square deal.
Mr.. Miller repeatedly told Gen.
Peron that Argentina cannot hope
to fulfill her expressed desire of
attracting more North American
investments unless she can satisfy
those already established here.
