A GAMBLING TAX?

While it is not legal to have lottery in the United States, the Congress of the nation has about decided to impose a gambling tax to secure revenue which the nation needs.
 The House, which first developed the idea, esti mated the levy on commercialized gambling would yield s4O0OO0O0O year. The Senate approved the gambling tax, although members are highly dubious to how much money the levy will actually turn into the treasury since it deals with an activity which Is illegal in most states
 The gambling tax imposes ten per cent excise on all bets sporting events, elections or other con- tess made with bookmakers or other persons accept ing wagers for profit It applies to bets with lottery operators and to wagers placed in pool in any sports event and S5O-a-year occupatonal tax on persons accepting bets or receiving them from book makers.
 Most of the revenue is expected to come from track horse race and numbers betting Specifically excluded friendly bets between persons who are not commercial gamblers, card games such poker, roulette wheels and bingo games. Admittedly, there is no question but that large sums of money annually wagered in this country and the problem, stated by Senator Walter F. George, will be to collect the tax levied Obviously, there would be administrative difficulties in getting tre money.
 Senator Estes Kefauver, of Tennessee. argued dSdlSI tilS leNy OI ground tNaC tax on would give color of legality to enterprises the government ought to be trying to shut down. There is logic to his contention of course If the levy gambling gets on the statute books, the danger is that the next step will be to legaize betting in order to make that the excise tax is collected
 Just where Alaska would in, is hard to determine. Alaska to date, has not been blessed with the numbers racket policy betting. And playing the ponies has caught here - for several good reasons. No bookmaker in his right mind would handle wagers in Alaska long he runs the risk | of being past-posted via short radio
 About the only contribution Alaska could make would be the annual Nenana ice engineering prof. ect. And that of course, isn't even legal enough to discuss
 We're willing to bet dime (providing it's tax free dme) that little economy in the administration would save much more money than any gambling levy could produce.

STOP FIRE - SAVE LIVES

This is Fire Prevention Week in America Every year fire kills than 10000 people in the United States and destroys 700 million dollars worth of prop erty Every year more than 2O00 children under six years of age are killed by fire
 These are sad and startling figures. More startling however is the fact that 90 per cent of all these fires could have been avoided-f people had not been care less with fire of the fires started by matches and smoking stoves and heating devices and the mis- use of flammable fluids and electricity. To protect your home and your family watch out for these major causes of fire.
 Reading the casualty reports of the Korean war, Americans were shocked at the thousands of men listed as killed missing wounded They total over 8OOOO It is hard to grasp the enormity of such a figure We can feel greater compassion when read of the sudden death of down the street
 The tragedy of one little girl who died when she spilled pot of scalding water herself will be more keenly felt This be translated into our family life We shudder when think the same accident might have happened to the little girl in our own house or cousins or the neighbours next door We can become overwhelmed with sympathy when we read of the death of person two or three who near us.
 But can imagine 80000 children burned tc death? It's almost impossible to conceive of such 8 thing It's figure not flesh and blood. Yet over the last 20 years that number of children have beer burned to death in the United States most of then in their own homes.
 Each year the total number of fire deaths rise into the thousands approximately ten thousand Picture 10000 persons, among them may be a chile suffering horrible burns woman who has beer trapped fin an upstairs room of her home when fire broke out husband who perhaps let a torch slip while soraping paint off his house.

of such homely accidents besides hundreds of indus trial catastrophes, make up the yearly fire toll in the United States.
 How is it possible to focus our attention on this huge destruction of human life by fire? And seriously to do something about it?
 One week each year is officially devoted to fire prevention. It commentaries the terrible Chicago fire of 1871 which shocked the Nation into the reali- zation that it's largest cities were not built safely.
 However it is not merely week in memoriam of the Chicago holocaust that is observed every October It should be the starting place for year around effort to remove the hazard of fire from our lives and from our childrens lives It is a time when we can stop to remind ourselves of the terrible toll that fire takes

we are spending to improve the
 standards of living through our
 various generosities over the face
 of the earth. As social institu-
 ton, the post office could be op-
 erated at a deficit out of the
 goodness of our hearts.
 If, however, this agency of gov- ernment is to be managed as a business that pays it's way, then a reorganization is essential in meth ods of operation, bookkeeping, mechanization and so on. It is only after the engineering and account ancy problems have been worked out that the postal scale can be de- termined on a scientific basis. This the Hoover Commission tried to im- press on the Congress, with little success. Both Congress and the ad- ministration have resisted the Hoov- CT Commissions recommendations probably because efficient operation would eliminate the relations be- tween politics and the post office which neither Congress nor the administration is anxious to bring about.
 The law of diminishing returns still operates and the raising of ,a toc on ,,,o,ov cnncia1 caYUirpc (which the Hoover Commission re- commended may abolish those ser vices. For instance, the service call ed special delivery.1 Often letter marked special delivery" arrives after the regular mail. It has to be delivered by hand and the manpow- CT is sometimes not available for such purposes. It is not impossible that if the special delivery" ser vice costs too much, users will ab- andon it altogether.
 As for third class mail, which
 includes advertising circulars, the
 users of this service will probably
 discover that for the money spent,
 they can get better return if
 they advertise in newspapers.
 Every morning, receive heap of such circulars, most of which l throW away without reading them at all, and the sender is out that much money. Maybe the post office could save itself lots of trouble by atolishing this category alto gether.
 It would seem that Congress is go- ing about this business rear-end forward. In a word, desiring to re- duce the post office deficit, Con- gress should deal with this problem as any business would, call in the engineers and accountants to see whether costs could not be cut, ef- ficiencies increased, loopholes plug

POST OFFICE

The only solution that the post office seems to have for it's deficits and inefficient operations is to get Congress to raise rates. That used to be true of some monopolistlc enter prises, such as public utilities, until the federal and state governments established regulatory agencies to protect the public. Mere rate-rais- ing or price-raising does not end deficits as any department store manager can tell you.
 The post office is entitled to ln- creased rates. not on the basis of the deficit it produces, but only If, after providing advancingly efficient ser vices, it establishes evidence that higher wages, greater benefits 10 it's employees and costs of supplies and operations require them. Up to now the post office has rejected the most construction suggestions of the Hoover Commission: it has reduced it's services; it has not done much for it's best employees, the ordinary mailman.
 Post Office bookkeeping is diff
 cult to read because of the high
 cost of hidden subsidies. If the
 government desires to SubsidiZe
 the various carriers for their ser-
 ehn
 sidy acts with due discussion as
 to their relative merits.
 The post office got the Senate to boost second class mail on maga- zines 60 percent, over three-year period; 30 percent on newspapers. It is doubtful whether this increase will reduce the total deficit, which is estimated at $550,000,000 The increase on magazines and news papers could reach fair figure, unless, with good management, the newspapers and magazines develop other means of distribution that might be less costly
 Perhaps the Senate dislikes maga- zines, having made this distinction. This is not important one way or the other, because what is urgently needed is the application of modern management methods to the opera tions of the post office. Dodging that necessity and putting an ad- ditional load on magazines and newspapers mostly weeklies, for the latter category does not really deal with the post office deficit.
 If the argument is that the rOst office is social and not business institution, then it is not necessary to increase rates at all. The post office deficit is less than
