FINES AND SENTENCE FOR FIRST CITY
 TRAFFIC WOkATOR

The first city traffic case was tried this week and Clarence Moxsley of Spenard was found guilty of operating motor ve- hicle without a drivers license on September Is. In the absence of a city magistrate, the case was tried in commissioners court, where Commissioner Dorothy Saxton found him guilty and lev jed a S10 fine. On an additional charge of driving while under the influence of liquor on a complaint signed by Jack Maze of Palmer, Mosley was fined $200, given a 60-day suspended sentence, and driving privileges were revoked until January l, 1852.
 The charges were an aftermath of a accident when a ve- hicle driven by Moxsley forced the Maze car off the road Sep tember Is. Police Chief Bernard BouWens placed the man under arrest following his refusal to show his credentials. Moxsley has had previous traffic violation charges brought against him ln Arizona and California.

Besides being associated with his father as dairy producer, Rol- land was herdsman at the Mata- nuska Experiment Station for more than a year and half. The Roland Growers have two daugh- ters, Tamara, aged two, and sev- en-months-old Lorene. Only re- gently passing his 22nd birthday, Grover becomes the youngest dairy producer in the Valley.
 Included in the sale of the Gust Scheibl farm were 20 head of cat tie and all the farm machinery. The Growers will not live at their new farm this winter. Under the terms of the agreement, the Scheibls have a month or two at the house until they acquire an- other-perhaps on Lazy Noun tain. The Growers will continue this winter to live at the former Venne farm, owned by Lowell Whitaker, son-in-law of the Cliff ton Growers. Since several re- pairs and improvements are be- ing planned for the Scheibl dairy plant, the herd will be housed this winter at the Clifton Grover farm. That will make 70 head of cattle there this winter.

 Minor Problem
 What to do with a 15-year-old girl who insists on entering a To- cal bar after repeated insistence by the management that she stay out, was the problem Police Chief Bernie BouWens tried to shift on the council last night
 After much discussion, it was feared that suggested solutions involving a minors misdemeanor ordinance, an ordinance invoking parental responsibility, and li- censing of minors, were not pro- vided for by Territorial law. City Attorney Harold Butcher prom ised to make a thorough study of possibilities. For the present, he suggested that the case be pre- sented to welfare authorities.
 What would they do with a case like that?" asked Jack Maze from the sidelines. Alaska has no home for delinquent girls. We couldn't put her in the city jail. You might pass a law, but what could you do to back it up?"
 Approve Temporary Jail
 In rapid series of motions and resolutions, council members CD accepted Al Hagen's free offer for jail space under his theater until May 1, 1852, and authorized Bouwens to fix it up; CD con- firmed Mayor Meier's appoint ment of Bill Head as city magis- trate and authorized U. s. Com missioner Dorothy Saxton to act as magistrate in his absence.
 Three new city ordinances, pre- pared by Butcher, were read for the first time in last nights meet ing. Ordinance 13 was adopted as an emergency measure upon it's first reading. This ordinance pro- hibits solicitation for sales in business and residential areas without payment for a peddler's license.
 Ordinance IA, which must be read at two more consecutive meetings before adoption, pro- vides for the licensing of all trades, businesses and professions operated, conducted, or carried on in the city of Palmer, Alaska.
 Ordinance 15 also has two more readings. It is the building code regulation, and is based on the uniform building code of the Pa cific Coast Building Officials con- ference as published and printed l January, 1949, and containing 52 chapters, including chapter 51, Heating Appliances, and chap ter 52, "Zoning Laws.
 Copies of these ordinances will be posted on the bulletin board of the temporary city hall in Sev- erns' Cabinet shop or may be seen in the city clerks office in the Neal Wright building. A copy of the uniform building code as de- scribed above is also in the city clerks office.

Although approval has been received so far only for a building without gym nasium and auditorium, APW has indicated that approval for these iterSs might be forthcoming as soon as emergency restrictions on building materials are lifted. The school board is asking authority to issue bonds for the entire high school at this time so that mem bers will be able to act quickly when opportunity arises.

say this for good many reasons. First OF all,
country is facing some mighty difficult PROB
lens especially with respect to our defense program
This is when we recognize that Big Business In
terests trying desperately to side-nack Organ
lied Labor in this momentous task. The best ex-
ample of this is the struggle that is now being
waged in Washington around the Wage Stablilza-
ton Board and its program. Sensible people are
ready to agree everywhere that we cannot success
fully mobilize strength for defense unless the
major segments of population are given every
opportunity to participate in the development OF
such program
Organized Labor to this date was not given this
opportunity. That is why the labor members OF the
Wage Stabilization Board withdrew fro m that
body. 1t is impossible to "heeze" wages - as De-
fense Mobilization Director Wilson and Economic
Sterilization Director Johnston proposed - unless
prices pegged and frozen first 1t is plain nom
to expect workers to stand idly by, with
frozen wages, while prices and profits are per-
mitted to skyrocket without limit
Our convention will determine our attitude to
this vital question haven't the slightest doubt but
that the convention delegates will uphold the policy
followed thus far by our International Union IN

The Business

The Business
DACK IN the old ugly days when there were
- no controls on business, the war industries
earned a nasty name for themselves. 1t was
pretty generally understood that they welcomed
war and often promoted war - in order to
make and sell cannon and powder and shot, 1T
profit.
Nobody speaks well of war profteering any
more
That is why excess profits taxes" were I'M
vented. The idea was that industries which
went into boom production to manufacture
submarines and tanks and planes and Shells
and their component parts, should not reap a
harvest at the expense of the people,
The idea was that corporations should be
ut least as patriotic as the people, and should
be willing to produce for the national defense
without demanding swollen and inordinate
profits from it.
Therefore, the excess profits tax sponsors
said, normal profits h o u not be heavily
burdened, but EXCESS profits - those trace
able to war production should be heavily
taxed.
The tax revenue would, presumably, return
to the government to help carry the cost load
defense itself.
ing World War H.
Big corporations, with big war orders made
fat profits, yes. But they paid fat taxes, too,
some Of this war profit was siphoned back
into the national treasury and helped carry
the load.
That's how it was under Roosevelt - under
the New Deal with liberal Democrats in
control of both Houses Of Congress.
Not this time.
The greedy were elected the profit hungry
were put in power, and the gobbling on Capitol
Hill can be heard over the grunting of feeding
pigs on the farm.
The present "excess profits t x' passed
early this year is an excellent case in point.
Sylvia Porter financial writer for newspaper
syndicates, did fancy job of unraveling this
steal in the March 20 issue of the Toledo
Times.
She illustrates the loopholes in the excess
profits tax law by showing how corporation,
already in the excess profits bracket can make
PROFIT out of BORROWING in spite of
paying interest
She shows that after the provisions Of the
law have been invoked, corporation borrow
ing $4,000 at 4 per cent makes almost per
cent more money by borrowing.
What with tax Offsets deductions and
special provisions, the corporation pays out
$4O0 in interest, but saves $488 in taxes, for a
clear-cut profit of $88.
So the present mood i'm Washington is clear
enough. While the wage earner's wages are
frozen, prices rise; while the tax load ON
workers goes up, corporations get rebates; the
people make the sacrifices and the corpora
tions make the profits
This was arranged at the polls last Novem-
ber, when voters either stayed home, or voted
for the demagogues who have turned the
country and its people over to Big Business
And are we getting the business - but

THIS CONVENTION, however, will serve an
other very useful purpose 1t will give the lie to
those kept interests who have been yelling for 50
long now in and around Toledo - that ours Is
a dictatorial union. Every thinking person, of
course knows that we have more democracy in
our Union than enemies have in all the OUT
fits they may belong to and work for, or own com
bined. s1i1 feit 81 ST.
It is always q source Of deep satisfaction to me
to attend conventions for the very reason that
it is so thoroughly American, so thoroughly demo-
cratic Several thousands Of delegates representing
a million workers in one of Americas key in
dustries gather in these conventions to hammer
out and map future policy And there is every
opportunity for delegates to voice their opinions
and, having done that, to vote for whatever pro-
gram they feel will best serve their own Interests
would suggest that if anyone doubts this they
ought to take the time and the little money neces-
sary to come to Cleveland and sit in the visitors
gallery and see for themselves. There is at least
in Toledo who should take me up on this
since he and his cohorts always yell the loudest.
t'.l:tt'
NO DOUBT THE kept press especially will do
everything in their power to influence the think
ing and voting Of delegates. suppose some
fancy stories will be printed about what happens
in Cleveland Some of these stories as it happened
during past conventions - will take their proper
place among the really tal stories told But
that we acnnot help. We can only say - without
any hope that it will be done, though - that the
kept press and their representatives will be de-
cent enough to print the truth That shouldn't be
too much to ask but shall
In the meantime want to congratulate all our
delegates from this area and wish them well in the
hope that whenever they called upon to make
a decision - and they will be many issues -
they will always act in the best interests of the
membership they represent. If they do that, and
I'm sure they will, the future of great Union
will, indeed, be secure come what may. IA.

'6 Escape Injury

SEATTLE, July IT -tR- Six per- sons escaped injury in two sep arate plane crashes in Northern Alaska Sunday, the Civil Aeronau- tics Administration reported yes terday.
 The mishap occurred less than two hours apart. Christopher Par ent, formerly of Tacoma, was carry ing three passengers in his Stinson Voyaguer when the plane crashed in grove of spruce trees just after a takeoff from Weeks Field at Fair banks. The plane was damaged bad ly.
 Parent is with the Fairbanks resi- dent engineers office of the U. s. Engineers.
 The other accident involved a Trans-Ocean Airlines Norseman which crashed in a take-off attempt from the Colville river near Umiat, some 300 miles north of Fairbanks
 The pilot. c. V. Smith, and his passenger, L. Longberry, escaped in- jury, although the plane was des- troyed. Engine failure caused both accidents, the CAA reported.

 If what anyone wants to say is sincere, and he is honest, he will sign his name We won't use it if we're requested not to, and chances are the name would mean nothing anyway to any story springing from the letter.
