QUALIFICATIONS TO VOTE ON SCHOOL BONDS CLARIFIED

Next Monday, April 30, is the date of the school bond election to determine the will of the voters in floating an additional $200,000 bond to construct a wing on the new school at 12th and Glacier Way. to contain a cafeteria, nurses room, of- flee, vault for storage of school rec ords and rifle range. This wing was in the original plans of the new school but was eliminated due to lack of funds.
 Territorial law requires that in voting for bond election the voters name must be on the last assess ment roll. If a voter is in doubt as to whether or not his name is on the roll. he should check with the city clerk if he pays his taxes in the city or with Robert Drux- man at his office, if taxes are paid outside the city of Juneau. In either case, it was pointed out, whether the voters name is on the assess ment roll of the city or that of the Independent School District, he can vote at the city polling place at the Alaska Electric Light and Power Go. However, if taxes are paid only in the city, then the voter must vote in the city.
 In the Territory there is no com mon property law, therefore, in the case of husband and wife, the wife's name must appear on the tax roll, as joint owner of property in order to be eligible to vote. Or the wife can pay tax on a radio fur coat or some other article oi personal property to get her name on the assessment roll and become eligible.
 It is expected the increase in the tobacco tax, passed by the last Leg islature, will provide sufficient in. come for retiring the bonds making any additional tax assessment tt property owners unnecessary. Las' year income from the tobacco ta, was around $35000. Income this veal will be about S41 ,000 and next years when the effect of the newly added tax will be felt, the income should be in the neighborhood of $60,000 it was said. This amount, school au- thorities pointed out. will be more than ample to retire the bonds However, it was estimated, discount

HUGE SUM
 VOTED FOR
 ARMAME:N7

WASHINGTON. April 27 -lR- The House has passed a S6SS, ,468,- 296,000 defense appropriation bill. The money is to be used largely to buy weapons of war.
 It supplements an estimated $42,- oc0,Co0,0oO previously appropriated for National Defense for this fiscal year, ending next June 30.
 Passage was by voice vote. It came quickly after Rep. Mahon (D-Tex), chairman of a military appropriations subcommittee, told she House:
 The United States is not now prepared to wage an all-out war against 9 major power. but no other nation is prepared for an all-out shooting war against an- 36iler major power"

popularity contest in Alaska this week is Rep. F. Jensen of Iowa. He criticied the exterior finish on the Governors Mansion and recom- mended that the capital be moved from Juneau to Fairbanks. And on top of that, he is finding fault with the trucking firms that con- pete with the government-owned Alaska Railroad.
 Rep. Jensen may not know it but Alaskans are not likely to for get that it was the truckers, not
 the railroad, that brought down freight charges to the Interior. s A woman who was probably Al aska's oldest resident died at Jul
 neau recently. She was. Aunt Sal ly" Fox and was believed to have been about 115 years old. r If the vital statistics are correct she was born at Taku Harbor, a few miles south of Juneau, about 1886.
 That was long, long time ago It was the year the first steamboat came to this coast and year be- fore Taku Harbor and the rest ot the mainland of what is now Southeast Alaska went under the British flag.
 In 1886 Nicholas was Czar of Russia and Ivan Antonovich Kup- reanof was governor of Alaska. An drew Jackson was President of the United States and there were 24 states in the Union. Arkansas was admitted that same year to make the 18th. Abe Lincoln, in 1886, was clerk and surveyor in Coles Coun- ty, Illinois, and had served tern in the state legislature. And Alaska? There wasn't any such place, officially, in 1886 There was just Russian Americs where Alaska now is.

DIAL PHONES INSTALLED

DIAL PHONES INSTALLED
 The Juneau-Douglas Telephone Co are actually installing the long anticipated modern dial telephones in Douglas, with the telephone crew under the direction of James Young, Stromberg Carlson repre- sentative, installing phones in the St. Anns Ave. area yesterday.
 Roy Noland, of the local tele- phone Co.,, asks residents to stay off the lines as much as possible during the next few days during phone installation and use mod erately and leave residences open CT give key to crewmen so phones can be installed. He stated phone numbers will be published in the Daily Alaska Empire, each day that changes are made.
 The new set-up is the most modern Suomberg Carlson Dial Exchange. It is the third dial system in Alaska, with others at Kodiak and Anchorage. At present there will be the same three line connection to Juneau, but three more lines are to be added after the installation is completed.

Forty-first in a Series

The Alaska statehood bill passed by the House of Representatives last year started out with this lan- guage:
 "Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
 United States of America in con
 gress assembled, That all that part
 of the United States now embraced
 within the Territory of Alaska, in-
 cluding a distace of one marine league from the line of coast, shall become the State of Alaska as
 hereinafter provided, but not be- yond the international boundary of the United States
 In this years Alaska statehood bill-S. 50-the opening language has been changed to the following: Be it enacted, etc, That the in habitants of all that part of the United States now constituting the Territory of Alaska, as at present described, may become the State of Alaska, as hereinafter provided" Of particular interest is the fact that the old bill would have given to the. State of Alaska "a distance ,f one marine league from the line
 ,f coast"
 A marine league is three nautical niles, or 18,240.81 feet.
 The present bill, on the other land, ignores the matter of tide lands and coastal waters. There is no mention of them in the portion quoted above, and there is no men, ion of them elsewhere in the bill The leading paragraph of the
 new bill says that portion of the | United States now constituting the Territory of Alaska, as at present described" may become a state. What description does this refer 1o? The description in the treaty of purchase, concluded with Russia n 1867? In the treaty the boundary l between Alaska and Canada is de- ;cribed and set. The boundary be- ! ,ween Russia and Alaska in Boring
 Sea is also set. But 1t makes no
 mention whatever of the remainder If the Alaska seacoast.
 Alaskans who live along the oast are we'll aware that the Ter
 itory does not have control over he tidelands or the coastal waters If you want to build dock oI
 other structure on the tidelands
 ,ou have to get a permit from the
 War Department. And all you get a use permit. You cannot get
 Citle to the tidelands your dock oc-
 ,upies.
 Here again I believe the state lood bill should spell out, in clear
 md simple language, exactly what jurisdiction Alaska would lave as state.
 Alaskans, and particularly those Alaskans who make their liveli- lood from fishing, are interested irl
 having the new state get control If tidelands and the coastal area n fact, am not sure but that his is the fisherman's main inter l ,st in getting statehood
 l As this column previously pointed
 put, the present statehood bill does lot specifically grant control of he fisheries to the State of Alaska
 Only by getting control of the tide ands and coastal waters could the
 State of Alaska be assured of con- rolling it's fisheries.
 The Senate Committee recently
 ,oted 7-6 to report the statehood
 Jill without further hearings. Per
 laps the House Committee will be
 more liberal in giving Alaskans ar opportunity to be heard on just
 what they want their statehood bill
 to contain. se

ing the tobacco tax, the additional S200,000 bond issue would not in crease property tax rates more than one-half mill in any event.
 School authorities feel that it would be cheaper to build the cafe teria addition while school construc- ton is underway rather than add it at later date.

county, municipal, and territorial employees.
 g. Merit and length of service in- creases and rate ranges.
 6. Authorized increases up to 10 per cent above wage paid January 15, 1850, without Board approval
 2. Authorized increases without Board approval to employees of charitable, religious, and education al institutions.
 8. CoSt-of- living escalator clauses in collective bargaining agreements.
 9. New plants.
 10. Tandem wage increases.
 GWR 5, 6, 10 Important After the first furry of activity from January 25, 1851 to late in February, the requests for wage increases in Alaska seem to fall pretty generally within the scope of General Wage Regulations Nos. 5. 6, and 10. GWf2 No. on ad- justments to individual employees concerns merit and length of ser vice increases, promotions and transfers, new or changed job du- ties, the hiring of new employees, variations in earnings because cf
 the normal operation of previous ly existing incentive rates, piece rates, shift differentials, commits sionS, overtime, and penalty wage rates and similar pay practices. Catch-Up Formula No. 6 was the catch-up formula which authorized general increases in wages and salaries up to 10 per cent above the wage scale actually
 paid on January IS, 1850. Unions and employers should be reminded that although wage stabilization went into effect January 25, 1851,
 any increases given between Jan uary IS, 1850 and January 25, 1851
 must be considered in computing
 the allowable 10 per cent. Increases given in accordance with the terms
 in Nos. and do not require
 prior approval of the Wage Sta bilization Board; however, increas- es given under the terms of No. 6
 must be reported on Form WS-6a
 within ten days of the effective date of the raise.
 No. 10 on tandem wage adjust ments requires Board approval be- fore such adjustments may be put
 into effect This general regulation
 is designed to permit employers
 who have a long, established prac-
 tice of following the same wage scale as that set by other employ
 CTS or negotiated between manage
 ment and labor in an industry to continue this practice.
 Proof Must Me Shown Proof of this tandem relation ship may be submitted to the Ex- ecutive Director of the Wage Sta
 bilization Board. Increases given ! under this regulation may not be put into effect until notification
 has been received from the Exec
 utive Director that the proof is adequate.
 The above information concerns requests for increases but occas- icnally questions arise concerning the legality of present wage scales. Briefly, the rules are these: CD Any
 wage scale paid on or before Jan-
 uary 25, 1851, may be continued; @ No regulation of the Wage Stabilization Board requires an en- pl5yee to receive less than he was paid between May A and June 24 !! 1850 for the same work.
 I Questions, requests for forms and copies of the regulations should be addressed to Leonard E
 Evans. Territorial Representative, U s. Department of Labor, P O. Box l030. Juneau.
