That property tax again

The one per cent property tax passed by the 1949 Legislature was in the courts again. Luther c. Hess, pioneer mining man and banker Of Fairbanks and former President of the Territorial Senate, has brought a second action in the District Court at Fairbanks, seeking re- fund of $729.80 which he says he paid in property taxes for the year 1949 under protest. Previously, Hess had bought an action through injuction in an effort to test the validity of the act. The District Court in Fairbanks upheld the ac- tion but it was reversed by the Cir cult Court of Appeals in San Fran cisco on grounds it was not the proper procedure. First report on the Circuit Court decision was that the act was upheld, but it was la ter revealed the higher court did not pass on the validity but rather on the course of action. Thus, the second suit in another effort to test the validity of the act. Mean while, property owners are faced with paying the tax and getting a refund if the law is voided, or, not paying, and facing penalties if it is upheld.

General Marley, who spoke on GA
Civilian Soldiers Plan For Defense, -
conferred his address around the Ma
tional Guard and the Army Reserve.
Discussing the proposed plan Of
drafting 18-year-old boys, the speak
err stated that it was his belief that
far better plan would be to give
the boys, on obtaining their 18th
birthday, four months of basic train
ing in the summer months - June,
July, August and September. This
four months of training, General
Marley stated, was all the basic
training that any recruit needs, as
after that time they are assigned to
specialist groups, such as the Air
Corps, Signaling Corps, etc.
At the end of their basic training,
the generals plan called for the 49,
year-old boys to be enrolled in the
National Guard in the communities
where they live, so that they can
continue their schooling Cor accept
jobs), but still continue their train
ing in the National Guard, where go
per cent of the officers and 60 per
cent of the commissioned officers
