Alaska Eliminates Outdoor Advertising

The Board of the Alaska Highway and Public Works De- partment, in its meeting October 9. approved N regulation which will eliminate alI outdoor adver- tising from the rights of way on Alaska's N public highways
 Federal Aid requirements now make It necessary for the right of way to be cleared of all signs, and the Territory must agree to keep M free. before Federal mon- eY can be spent on any particular project. There Was no question that the Territory Would have to -aooperate, since without such co- operation Alaska would lose over S7 million a year in badly needed reconstruction ana new construc- tion money.
 In studying the problem, Nit was apparent that discrimination would result if signs were re- moved only from specific projects as they came up for construction. Business establishments On such projects would be without ad- vertising, whileN their neighbors on adjacent sections of highway would still have their signs, In fairness to all, it was decided that the only solution was to elimin-

Federal Spending
Isn't the Answer
BY Rep. Dewitt S. Hyde

fully concur in the policy of the Federal
Government cooperating to the fullest extent with
private industry and labor in promoting maxi
mum employment and production. Just
concerned with two of many proposals to
restore economic stability. They are increase
in Federal spending and reduction in Federal
taxes.
would like to point out to those who favor
huge spending programs that If the pouring out
of Federal money were the initator of full en-
ployment, then the vast sums spent over the last
few years would have prevented the current
slump. Bear in mind that since the Korean war,
the Government has been spending about five
times as much as it ever spent before in peace
time.
The President is right, believe, in advising
us to hold off on huge public works program
until we have better picture of the economy.
Such projects have no immediate effect on either
employment or production. Past experience
shows that in the first of these projects, only
seven to ten percent of the total cost is spent.
l personally believe that in a time like the
present, il is the job of our Government to stimu
late private production and private employment
