PAY RAISE
APPROVED
BY Bob DE Almond

The House of Representative this
morning approved pay increases for
Alaska school teachers and super
intendents of schools. The increase
voted by the House was in line
with recommendations of the Ter
ritorial Board of Education but
were not as great as the increases
requested by some of the teachers.
The bill, a substitute measure
brought in by the Ways and Means
Committee, provides a $500 annual
increase for teachers and superin-
tendentS in the First Division,
$500 for those in the Third Division
and $500 for those in the Second
and Fourth Divisions.
An amendment to increase these
figures to $500, $3.50 and $500 respec-
lively, was offered by Rep. Copyright
and was voted down after consider
able debate.
The -$400-S500 raise would in
crease the Territory's budget by
$520,600, Rep. Franklin, chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee,
told the House. The $500-S650-$80
figures would cause an increase of
$848,000 in the budget.
ANY municipality may pay its
teachers more than the scale set
here" Franklin reminded the men,
bers. This is merely the part of
the salaries in which the Territory
will participate"
Far Too Low

tons of the Board of Education and
the Ways and Means Committee are
far too low" Rep. Kay announced.
1.-THE increases are barely enough
to meet increased taxes" Kay went
on to compare monthly earnings of
school teachers with those of plum
bers, carpenters and other workers.
This is an unfair comparison, .
Rep. Hendrickson charged skilled
labor is frequently employed only
a part of the year and the fact is
that plumbers and some other
trades have priced themselves clear
out of the market"
Rep. Carlson agreed with Hen
erickson and said that in the Cor
dova area craftsmen receive an
annual wage lower than that OF
school teachers.
Rep. Scavenius asserted that such
comparisons had no bearing upon
the main question, which concerned
the desire of the Territory to MAIN
tain teaching stats and keep UP
educational standards.

ments that the Territory is in poor

Means Committee hasn't proved any
such thing" he said.

appropriations left over from the
last Legislature" Rep. Franklin re-
torted. 1--WE haven't been able to
raise the money to pay them"

and I believe the figures brought
in by the Ways and Means Com

Mr.. Weiss asserted that "the

"As merchandise becomes more

more and more shopping. Super

from male shoppers. Men are noe

department stores have increased
least the percentage of business
done with men,"
Mr.. Weiss also noted that the
big mail-order houses do a big
business in nearly every city, even
in those with several department
stores, and suggested that one
reason was that they take orders,
by mail, around the clock.
He asserted that the additional
services offered by department
stores gave them no competitive
edge because the one service

WHY NOT TRY THE MANTLE OF
JEFFERSON FOR SIZE?

The Republican Party is launch
ing a high-pressure, three-pronged
drive against government by crisis
and crOny", according to the an
nOuncement of National Chairman
Guy GabrielsOn. This curtain-raiser
for the 1852 presidential campaign
will start next month. The outline
for the triple-threat attack on the
Fair Deal" follows:
l. A mid-NOvember tour Of speak
ers into Dixie to persuade restive
southerners to aid in the upset.
2. A meeting in December to ral-
ly the leaders of the % million
foreign-bOrn voters of America.
3. The staging of at least 5000
Lincoln Day rallies to stir up the
voters at the grass-rOOts.
This all sounds fine. But while
they were dreaming up these ideas,
the Republicans missed their great
est opportunity of the year to make
character with all kinds of voters
everywhere. That would have been
to stand fast in Congress and vote
down adjournment.
And the most effective safari
they could make into the South
would be with an invitation to Sem
ator Harry Flood Byrd to accept
the nomination as vice-president.
The Lincoln Day rallies sound
sadly like "bungling-as-usual" and
suggest that if there's a southern
honeymoon in November, there will
be a divorce in February. If they
have to have day, the Republicans
would do better in this campaign to
pick Jefferson Day.
We hope that the Republican
Party of today represents the
principles of Thomas Jefferson.

Big City Stores Are Fighting
To Retain Present Sales Volume

Major department stores in the
larger cities are framing plans TO
meet the competition of other mass
retailers who have piled up heavy
volume by acting on changes in
the consumer buying pattern.
This was learned this week in
a canvass of store executives, who
called attention to the fact that
the investment in plant is not as
fully exploited as is the case with
the super markets, drug stores
variety chains and similar types
of outlets.
More and more stores are keep

Der of night openings planned for
the Christmas season is greater
than in 1850.
This was described as a move
to meet the competition of neigh
bOrhood stores which obtain fam
lily business by keeping open at
hours convenient for shopping.
Many stores viii be open eighteen
or more nights in December this
year.

are being settled. Staggered work

Another executive asked: "Why

Other methods of obtaining busi-
ness around the clock are being
exploited First editions of metro

other advertising, eliminating the
mail coupon, is substituted in later
editions, 1t has been found that a
good deal of mail business has
been coming from newspaper read
ers within the community who buy
the early editions. Also, more use
is being made of telephone selling.
