Property Tax Ruled Illegal

Fairbanks (R) = Alaska's new one per cent property tax law has been ruled illegal by Federal Judge Harry B. Pratt.
 In a memorandum opinion filed this week in district court, the Judge held that two sections of the law enacted at the last session of the legisla- ture violated the territory's organic act. Consequently, he said, the entire law was in- valid.
 The decision was the out growth of a suit brought by Luther Hess and the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining Co.,, ask ing that the law be declared void, and a permanent injunc- tion be issued against further property tax collections.
 The courts ruling followed by five months a temporary restraining order by Judge Pratt against property tax collections until his. decision in the case.
 From Juneau, the R report ed that Judge Pratt's ruling is virtually certain to go to the Ninth Circuit Court of Ap- peals.
 The territory has an esti- mated $1, ,250,OO0 a year at stake. The tax was a keystone in the so-called basic tax pro- gram enacted by the legisla- ture after long being advocat- ed by Governor Gruening.
 Before enactment of the property tax by the legisla- ture, property owners outside city limits were not subject to property tax, unless by a school district.

The long sought after and much discussed $50,0OO that Frank Metcalf, territorial highway engineer, promised the City of Kodiak during a political campaign here in 1948 came up for discussion during the Chamber of Commerce naeeting Thursday.
 The $5O,OOO, derived from the gasoline tax, was earlier ea1marked for use on the con- stxuction of a small boat har- bor here.
 During a talk to the Cham ber Mayor Lee c. Bettinger suggested that the mo ley be used for the repair and im- movement of the city dock since the $50, GOO would not be sufficient for the construction of even the breakwater for the harbor.
 His suggestion met with an objection from Joe Kerrigan, business agent for the United Fishermen of Alaska.
 T will speak for the fisher men. They would strenuously object to the money being used for anything other than a small boat harbor.
 Kerrigan was asked if he lad a workable plan whereby the money could be use to

karluk Catch Low To Date

The catch and escapement of salmon in the Karluk district for the week ending June 17 shows that it was greatly low CT than last year at that time. Roy Lindsley, fisheries agent, said Thursday.
 The total escapement there for this year is 89, ,036 as cor pared to 163, $50 for 1949. However the catch this year is higher than for the same per- iod last year.
 The Alitak district shows little improvement since the opening of the season. The catch there up to last Saturday was 17,1 and the escape ment 7,825. In 1949 the es- exponent was IA, 288 and the catce 12, 465 up to June IS.
 The Alitak district is still closed and to date only 12, 40 salmon have passed through the weir.

Mayor Proposes Boost Of City Tax Rate

Members of the Chamber of Commerce were asked to con sider the city councils plan for increasing the tax on pro- perty by four or five mills, by Mayor Lee c. Bettinger Thursday.
 Property owners now pay 20 mills on their property.
 It was explained that the revenue from the increased millage would be earmarked specifically for the improve ment and opening of new streets.
 Bettinger urged the mem- bers of the c of c to think over the proposition and to attend the next meeting of the city council and express their views. The council will hold its regular meeting Monday night.
 In explaining the $14,0O0 deficit incurred by the city the past fiscal year Bettinger said the debt was made with the knowledge of the mayor and council.
 'The city's fixed assests have grown so much in the past five years that the i'm provements justify such ex- penditures, said Bettinger.
 "A tentative budget for the coming year has been prepas- ed by the council" Bettinger continued, ''and the city plans to spend $1O9, The income for this period has been estim- ated at $141, 0O0."
 Starting on June 23 and con- tinuing through June 30 the city council is sitting as a Board of Equalization and at the following council meeting the council will amend and approve the budget for the coming year.

Fine World War II Record
Women have proven their value
to defense, and therein lies a story
in which America overcame pref
udice and tradition.
At the beginning of World War
II industry found it necessary to
recruit women, but they were met
with apathy or outright resistance.
Many employers and men workers
believed that women had no
mechanical aptitude, were not ac-
customed to regular working hours
and close supervision and would
not work side by side with men
without disrupting plant morale.
But as the number of women
on production lines continued
to increase in World War II,
employers and foremen were
effusive in their praise of the
quality and quantity of the
work done by women under
their supervision and were
even willing to admit its equal
ity to that of men.
In 1900, one American woman out
of five was gainfully employed In
1910, one out of every four wom-
en- held a paying job. From the
Pearl Harbor attack in Deem
Der, l94l, to the peak of 1914, 6h
million women joined the working
force, bringing the total number of
employed women to approxim ately
20 million. Of these, some 48 were
production workers in factories.
Many in Heavy Industry
There were 478,0OO women in the
aircraft industry; they made up
36.5 per cent of the production
force, as against a mere fraction
of per cent in 1910. In the making
of electrical machinery and equip
ment, light industry which had
employed women on almost a third
of its production jobs before the
war, the number of women rose to
100000 or 48 per cent.
The shipbuilding industry, in
which a number of Jobs are
physically difficult, disagree
able, or dangerous, was under
standably slow to admit wom-
en-, yet in October, 1913, there
were 164,70O women (9.6 per
cent? in the shipyards. Many
of them worked outdoors in all
kinds of weather or tackled jobs
such as cleaning bilges and
sandblasting. In other heavy
industries, such as steel, re-
luctant to employ women, the
number in the plants continued
to increase until 381 800 women
were employed by autumn of
1914.
In the event of war and total
mobilization, women would play
an ever greater part in armed
forces than during World War II.
During the last conflict 275, 900
women were members of the armed
forces, about one-third the. number
that the army estimated it could
have used. A new emergency would
undoubtedly require greater
number of women in the services.

Droft q Possibility

Drott O Possibility
If there was a new emergency
the United States would probably
try first to recruit women on
voluntary basis. If that failed to
produce the numbers needed, the
only recourse open would be some
form of compulsory service, per-
haps similar to that used by Great
Britain during World War H.
After VI day, less than two
million women dropped from
the employment rolls, so that
of the total female population
aged IA or over, one out of
every three, or over Is million,
are still gainfully employed.
Due to the high marriage rate
of recent years, the number
of single women in the popula-
ton is almost million less
than in 1910, and of our nearly
80 million housewives, a larg-
or proportion have small chill
6ren. Therefore, our reserves
of potential women workers,
like our reserves of male work.
ers, are far smaller than be-
fore World War II.
Nevertheless, a reserve pool of
from ia million to two million ad-
ditional women workers can make
huge difference in the power
of a new defense effort. Women
workers had proud record in
World War II. They quickly
learned the necessary skills. Their
absenteeism was lower. They gave
high quality performance on the
job. Women not only filled defense
plant jobs, but equally important.
they filled vacancies in civilian
occupations left by men entering
military service, and thereby kept
the home front economy from being
disrupted
The need for women in industry
will increase during the next year
as the armed forces are expanded
to 100000 men. At present there
are about 100000 men in the
armed services.
Form Role lmportont
Women during World War II in
creased their activities on the farms
of the nations and at the end of the
conflict were working in the fields
beside men in jobs they had never
done before. That they were sue
cessful is evident by the fact that
agricultural production reached an
all-time high during the conflict.
Employment in United States in
dustry. trade, and other nonfarm
lines has reached an all-time high
of 45,500,000, the bureau of labor
statistics reported recently
The bureau reported this rise
in employment reflected eXpan-
sion of industrial activity to
meet the national mobilization
drive. To maintain this drive,
more and more women will be
called to replace men indicted
into the armed services.
The total number of employed
persons, including those on farms
and in military services. is now
more than 81 100000.
In the event of war, women, and
particularly housewives, would play
an important role in the warden
service organized under local civil
defense authorities. Experience has
proved that women are particularly
qualified for this type of RESPONSE
bility and are generally present in
residential neiGhborhoods at all
hours.
