Weaknessin Railroad.
Carries Market Down
Between 81 and 81 !.
By the Associated Press

NEW YORK, April Weak
ness in the railroad section OF
the stock market today brought
on a general decline.
Losses, which were heaviest in
the carrier group, ran to a little
more than 50 a share. and losses
beyond 81 a share were not in
frequent.
The market started at a fast
pace while brokers moved out
their weekend orders. After thai
the rate of business slowed to a
walk with the tape frequently
pausing.
At first the market was mixed
but within the first hour weak.
ness cropped UP in the rails. The
pace of trading quickened and the
motors and steels joined in the
slide. Other areas then swung
into line to make the sell-off
unanimous in every major divi-
sion. -
Some Of the chemicals and
adio-teleyisions were especially
active on the downside, but over
all the lack of activity was an
outstanding characteristic.
Corporate developments were
largely ignored and companies
with good or bad earnings re-
ports Joined the parade to lower
levels.
Downside leaders included Santa

Stopping Imitation

Senator Taft was either a brave man or else speaking strictly off the-record when he offered some ideas on how to lick imitation at a recent closed-door session of the joint committee on the economic report. What he said was not call culated to endear him to three powerful voting groups-farmers, veterans and labor. Nevertheless, here are his proposals:
 l. Workers overtime pay should be taken away in taxes.
 9 Farmers prices should be lowered.
 g. Veterans should not receive another G. I. insurance dividend.
 Regardless of the economics in volved, these proposals are good examples of how not to get elected President in 1852. Nevertheless, Taft advocated them in charac- teristically blunt language at the Congressional closed-door meeting. Here are excerpts from the testi- mony:

On That Statehood Question
(Ketchikan News)


 Another reason against immediate statehood is the voting en masse in some instances, of Indians. This applies to the Second and Third Divisions es- pecially from which come plenty of examples
 This means thot any machine" in power can perpetuae itself Its agents and officers are in posi- Territorial expense to travel among the Indians with promises and pressure methods.
 Another unhealthy political rule of thumb IS that most candidates feel that it necessary to appeal to the Indian vote. Any candidate worth his salt should not have to appeal to any particular class
 Many people in the States advocating statehood for Alaska do not understand the set-up. For in- stance, Indians in the States with few exceptlohs' have not been allowed to vote especially those on reservations Indians in Alaska on ana OH reSeraVtoS have the right of franchise
 There are many fine and upright Indians ln Alaska who exercise their franchise independently and according to their judgment for the pest interests of Alaska regardless of other consideration ms number is increasing from year to year. The bally News has always and will continue to oppose methods political or otherwise, to set apart the Indian people as a separate class We want them to feel that they are Americans with all the privileges and responsl- bilities of other citizens without being supJect to eA- ploitation by designing office holders or candidates The best friends of the Indians are those who VIII help them to break away from being mere tools oA designing persons.
 If also must be remembered that Indians on res ervations at least do contribute to the cost or statehood government. This in effect IS repreSen- tation without taxation Yes, Alaska has good many practical problems solve before it will be reaoy TOT statehood.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1951-02-24

"The doubtful thing is this busl- ness of passing out cash dividenos in such large amounts which is HOW proposed for the second time ob- iected Taft. T never have under stood that policy. It seems to me at best it should have been funded in some way so as to increase the benefit by some other thing than cash. We passed over two billion dollars in cash here just at the time before the Korean war helped start the initiation. never under stood the. principle under whi<A 1t was done. We were never asked about it."
