Higher Take! Possible
Some Say
The population increase which
comes from living longer presents
a problem for our children. When
parents or grandparents receive
Old-Age Assistance. or Pensions,
or even Social Security, the money
does net come from the blue
sky All such benefits must be
paid for by the younger people in
the form of taxes or higher price
for the goods they are to buy
Taxes should decline somewhat
next year. but the decline will not
be permanent.
Even the Welfare Funds which
organized labor is now demanding
will increase prices unless the
workers increase their production
accordingly. Security" must al
ways be paid for by someone.
Otherwise, it is like depending
upon aspirin to cure a disease.
These Funds will not remedy the
real trouble.
Conservation and Character
To have this large increase in
population with a high standard
OF living. we must conserve our
natural resources. This means
avoiding waste of everything. from
oil to trees. Our woodlands and
soils must especially be protected
yes, and even the fish of the
oceans. 1t is utterly foolish to talk
about great future prosperity due
to increased population" unless we
train our children to be less
WaSteful
Another thought. We have only
to travel in Asia and Africa to
know that population alone does
not make prosperity. In fact.
large population may make for
poverty. For our grandchildren TO
enjoy prosperity, much more at
tention must be devoted to spir-
ltual training, the development of
good habits, and the arousing
within the souls of all people a
desire to work and produce. |
Hence, the great Importance of

Reasons for Expected Increase
The first reason is that there

reason is that there now are few

among babies are much fewer
while almost everyone IS living
longer due to better food, shorter

But on the phone, my darling wife
Sure can do some toIknq
To some, O phone is nice to have,
But despise the thing
Because when set down to think
Thot darn old phone will rinq
When in the yord or in my shop,
try not to hear it;
And often lust let it ring
Even when I'm near it,
A phone, to me- most of the time,
Is an oggrovoton.
Unlike my wife, do not like

But if had our phone removed
NY wife would depIore it;
SO for her sake IN keep it in
And then Just ignore it

Report on Kotzebue's
Community Building

From "The Brace and CrutchO
We know that you all are inter
ested in how the community
building at Kotzebue is progress
ing. You will recall that an aban-
doned army building from Cape
Spencer was obtained free of
charge and the B & B Barge Co.
is to take the building from Cape
Spencer to Kotzebue.
The B & B Barge Co. is owned
by Mr.. and Mrs. Bullock Che sec
rotary Of our Kotzebue chapter)
and though they only have iron
barges at present, which are not
suitable to move the building,
they hope to have wooden barge
this spring with which to make
the transfer.
They have encountered much
difficulty in the undertaking, ac-
cording to Mrs. Bullock, who
wrote us on Nov. IL.
They had wooden barge be-
longing to the Army which they
planned to use, and had sent it,
with a tractor and two men to
Cape Spencer. But they were told
by the Port Commander that it
had to- go Immediately to Nome
because of the 1ongshoremen's
strike.
Mrs. Bullock writes that they
feel very badly about, the delay
as they realize the importance of
community building in Kotze-
bue for supervised social activi-
ties, particularly for the young
sters.

Senate Approves
Tax Incentive Bill
For New Industries
By JIM HUTCHINSON

JUNEAU, R-The Senate COM
pleted legislative approval Satur-
day afternoon on tax incentive
bill for new industries while the
House was killing an incentive
bill for mineral prospecting.
The Senate unanimously passed
bill to allow cities, school dis
trictS and other taxing units to
grant special property tax exemp-
tons to new industries for devel-
oping natural resources. The bill
now goes to the governor.
The measure allows full exemp-
ton from taxes up to three years
during construction, then exemp-
ton from half of the normal tax
up to 10 years.
Prospectors' Aid Bill Killed
A bill by Rep. Edith Bullock,
known as the aid to prospectors
bill, died on a 1911 House vote.
Mrs. Bullock explained the
$4,000 measure was intended to
finance strategic explorations by
hand-picked group Of 10 pros
pectors. The bill provided that the
territory outfit the prospectors.
Mrs. Bullock said the mining
department proposed to have a
supervisor in the field with the
10 prospectors, directing explora-
tons.
The main opposition to Mrs.
Bullock's measure came from
House Speaker George Miscovich,
Flat mining man, who left the
chair to make his most lengthy
argument of the session. He
branded the proposal as unneces-
sary and a waste Of money and
said the miners were against it..
Raise For Teachers Certain
The Senate took up a bill pro
posing an $500 annual increase
in teachers salaries but didn't
push it to a final vote.
The teachers are almost certain
to get an increase but many legis-
lators are leaning toward the Ter
ritUrlal Board of Education's pro-
posal for a $500 flat increase plus
$50 more for each year of teach
ing ir Alaska.

FORD ON FREE TRADE

Henry Ford II recently asserted that Congress
should pass legislation assuring the quickest possible
elimination Of all tariffs which would be the first
major step in leading the world back to free trade This
is significant statement from of the leading bust
ness men Of the country, who is president Of the
Ford Motor Company
It will be remembered that Great Britain was
the champion free trade proponent for many years and
abandoned the system only reluctantly after many Of
the other countries of the world set all sorts of trade
barriers, such tariffs quota systems barter agree
ments and other restrictive blateral and unateral
trade agreements.
The result Of the race to more and higher trade
BARRIERS which eliminated in the 193032 world depres-
son in the United States with the passage of the
Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act Of 1880
MIR. Ford's idea is to give friends abroad a
crack at the American market and he no doubt feels
that American automobile manufacturers could make
suitable progress if given free to the markets
in the various foreign countries We are inclined to
agree with Mr.. Ford in theory although it must be
kept in mind that the automobile industry is perhaps
most ideally suited industry from the standpoint
of competing with foreign producers.

Der of a joint Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation-Sta Depart
ment team whose task was to re-
solve demands in those areas for
a higher price on tin from the
United States which produces none
of this vital material.
He told nearly $50 dinner guests
that in facing the necessities for
survival, the American people will
have to accept some unpleasant
truths" The "most significant and
disquieting" of them, he said, is
that 1--WE do not possess here at
home the raw material necessary to
maintain and increase our present
production goals"
He then cited Americas de-
tendance upon the so-called under
developed areas of the world for a
list of strategic materials which
included manganese, natural rub
Der, cordage fibre, bauxite and
nickel. Mr.. Weaver continued: In
view of rising nationalism in these
countries and an awareness of the
color problem here at home, Am
erica's best chance for dealing
with these peoples is going to rest
increasingly upon how well oul
country utilizes Negro foreign ser.

Mr.. Weaver with its first Copper

the chance.

The plan calls for licensing by
the Foundation of its trademark to

duce new products into the Negro

will pay to the Foundation agreed

cally, the directors of the group
will decide on the grants it will
make to various civil rights organi-
cations. The trademark is in the

Albert H. Singer, national sales
representative for Carlton I'M

Walter H. Wheeler, president OF
the company was also recognized
for initiating the fair employment
policies and of giving similar lead
ership to industry in the New Eng
land region.
The award was accepted for the
company by Joseph J. Morrow, di-
rector of personnel relations. Mr.
Morrow declared that the com
pany's program of employing mi
nority group members reflects a
social conscience and practical
social leadership that mot only are
compatible with the industrialist' s
goal of profits and production, but
a necessary corollary of that goal
in democracy which practices as
well as breaches
We asserted also that ideas
about so-called "inferior" peoples
are changing because Negroes and
whites are working alongside each
other and getting better acquaint-
ed. And he added: THE final
achievement of equality for all
citizens will result from the joint
efforts of those who seek oppOr-
tunity and those who extend 1t.
Nothing will hasten progress more
than the availability of Negroes
who have prepared themselves for
opportunity when it comes"
