How High Can Wages Go?

According to some of the current theories, there would seem to be practically no limit to how high wages can go. When wages go up so fast that they leave productivity far behind, all business has to do is add the increases to prices-say those who accept imitation as in- evitable if not desirable. The idea is that the big unions are so power ful that inflationary wage demands cannot be resisted.
 Then, so that there will be enough money to go around, at the new high levels of wages and prices, the government would fur ther initiate the money supply. All this seems simple enough, but there are few serious flaws in it.

Personal income received by residents of Alaska in 1859 was g record $556 million, according to the first official income report released recently by the Office oi Business Economics, U. s. Depart ment of Commerce.
 Last years total was 6 per cent more than the S527 million volume recorded for 1858, a rate of gain about the same as for the nation
 Alaska's personal income last year was three-fourths again as high as the 1850 total of $319 mil lion. This increase represents 3 rate of growth moderately in eX- cess of the rise of more than two thirds for the country as a whole. With a rough allowance for the advance of consumer prices in Alaska since 1850, total purchaS- ing power of individuals in real terms has risen about tWofifths over this period. Other indications of economic growth include a popu- lation expansion of more than one half and an increase of one-seventh in per capita income.
 This information is part of 8 forthcoming comprehensive report based on study of the Alaskan economy initiated by the Office of Business Economics immediately after statehood was achieved. The report, which covers the period 1950-59, provides an economic rec ord consisting of summary figures on total and per capita income and detailed breakdowns of the over all flow, by type and by industry.
 As to sources of income in the new State, of Alaska's 1859 per sonal income total, $281 million, or one-half, was paid to residents by private industry; $239 million, or 43 per cent, by Federal Govern ment; and $37 million, or ? per

First, wage increases don't help much when prices have to go up along with Wages-which are the biggest part of the price of almost everything. Second, the value of insurance policies, pension funds and savings keeps going down as dollars get cheaper and cheaper. Third-and most important-a lot of people can't or won't pay the higher prices. They won't buy, or they'll buy the lower-priced foreign goods arriving here in an increasing flow. A time then comes for many an employee when last weeks high wage is just memory. For his company has been priced out of the market and he has been priced out of a job.

cent, by State and local govern ments.
 The size of the Federal Govern ment percentage-higher than in any other state-reflects AlaSka's major role in national defense. Military payrolls form the main component of Federal disburse- ments, totaling SIP million in 1859. Earnings of civilian employ ees of defense agencies located in the State added another $50 mil lion. National defense payrolls thus account directly for nearly one-third of all income in the State.
 The largest source of industry income since 1850 has been from contract construction.

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor:
 This is in the form of a letter of thanks to the many persons that were so extremely kind to me the day I fell and broke my hip on the APA Cannery Dock in Kodiak. Special thanks to the ambulance drivers that drove so very care fully to avoid any big bumps, and the same goes to the pilots on PNA. From Homer they flew high CT than they usually do because they said the higher they fly the smoother the ride.
 The same goes to pr. Bob and the personnel at the Griffin Me morial Hospital the two days l spent there before being sent over here to the ANS hospital. They did everything in their power to make me comfortable.
 Also, I wish to apologize to Mrs. Jess Tucker and another patient, name unknown to me, who were in the same room with me. With all my moaning and grooming, Pm sure I disturbed their sleep which I'm sorry for.
 Will see you all some time this fall.
 Sincerely,

three-fourths of the States income, but wants to swallow up most of Southeastern's one-eighth.
 When voting on Initiative peti- tion No. 1, whether for or against moving the capital, it might be well to think about your future income and future taxes, and that of future generations. A conserva- tive estimate of the cost of moving the capital from Juneau is $50, 0,000,- 900, but more than likely a great deal more.
 Personally, we would rather hang on to what we have, and con- centrate on boosting the economy of the State, so that individual in- comes can still continue to rise. Maybe some of it may rub off on this editor yet.
 The worlds oldest scientific so- ciety celebrated its tercentenary in London July 1926.
 The Royal Society, or to use it's full title, "The Royal Society of London for the Promotion of Natu- ral Knowledge" is made up of the worlds top scientists. Its purpose when it was founded 300 years ago was 'to improve the knowl- edge of natural things, and all use ful Arts, Manufactures, Mechanick Practices, Engines and Inventions by experiment = (not meddling with Divinity, Metaphysics, Mor- alls, Politicks, Grammar, Rhetoric or Logick)."
 When the Society was founded, the members were acclaimed, then denounced by the church, then held in deriSion - and even His Majesty was reported by Pepys to have nightly laughed" on hear ing that the Fellows were doing their utmost to determine the weight of air.
 The Society's membership has borne such illustrious names as Francis Bacon, Isaac Newton, Ben jamin Franklin, Captain James Cook, Sir James Huxley, Bertrand Russell and Winston Churchill to mention only few.
 The Society'S main purpose-the encouragement of the search for new knowledge-iS being carried out today.

Mirrored Reflections !.
By Sig Digree

A lot of you will be asking your selves as I did when reading the report of gains in personal income in Alaska, as found elsewhere in this issue, Where was I = how come more of this didn't rub off on me?"
 According to the report, Alas ka's personal income was three fourths again as high as in 1850, and the per capita income one fifth higher than the national average.
 This editor got the impression as he read the report, that he has kept his nose too long between the sheets of newspaper, rather than seeking out ways of making money.
 But reading further into the re port, geographic distribution of income had to do with this editor being on the short end of the stick = incomewise. There is a marked uneven distribution of in- dividuals and income in the State. More than three-fourths of total income, and more than tWo-thirds of the population, are concentrated in Central Alaska where average incomes are highest = one-third above those in the country as whole.
 The southeastern Panhandle" has just over one-eighth of the in- come and nearly one-sixth of the population.
 The Sparsely inhabited West re- ceives less than one-tenth of all income; has one-sixth of the popu- lation; and is characterized by per capita incomes one-fourth below the national average. The West, ac- cording to the report, is the least developed and least accessible part of Alaska. Its economic struc- ture reflects the considerable inn portance of the military and the presence of large native econ omy based mainly on fishing, hunt ing, and trapping, with seasonal employment in fish canneries.
 We couldn't help but reflect that f is apparent that them that have much, want more.n This is brought out in the move to bring the capital in the vicinity of An chorage. Central Alaska now has

I figured it would be easier to
lower the gutter, so I went out

Own 5O-Foot Gutter for CITY

when the city installed an as
phalt curb and gutter along
jefferson street in front of the
LaurentS' 18th century home.
1t replaced a deep cobblestone
gutter which, Mrs. Laurent
said, had served the purpose
much better for many years.
I'VE had a perfectly good
gutter" she explained. Then
the city put in a layer of red
clay and rocks and about two
inches of asphalt. I called 60

other layer of asphalt. All of
this was done without consult
ing the people on the block. A."
Mrs. Laurent said ever since
the gutter was filled in, water
has stood in her large side yard,
land when we get a heavy rain
it pours into our basement at
a great rate, drenching our
furnace.
The attractive blond said the
city officials suggested solution
of raising the level of the yard
to allow standing water to
drain into the new gutter did
not seem to me to be a practical
solution. The more I thought
about it the madden I got. I
borrowed a pick ak and took it

upon myself to fix the gutter
back like it was.
MY theory was that if ]
got the gutter back down like ii
used to be, the water would
seep out of our yard and run
into the gutter and not into
our basement. I didn't want tc
be unpleasant, all I wanted was
a gutter that works. I think
anybody's entitled to a gutter. y

Engineer Dies
At Train Throttle

WENATCHEE, Wash, May 2
(AP).-The engineer of a pas
senger train collapsed and died
at the controls today as the
train rolled through a horse
shoe turn at about so miles an
hour.
The train was brought to a
screeching, smoking halt when
either the engineer, before he
died, or his fireman tripped the
emergency brakes.
No one aboard the train was
injured and officials said the
train itself was not damaged.
1t was the Great Northern Rail-
ways Western Star.
The engineer was Reinhart
Simonson, Sc, of Spokane. He
apparently suffered heart at
tack.
The fireman, Fred Bender of
Spokane, brought the train into
Trinidad, a small siding 20
miles southeast of here.
Later the train was brought
into Seattle, its original desti-
nation. The Western Star reg

and Seattle.

Federal Thrift
Says He Fuvors
Liberal Trade, Aid
BY JOHN v. HORNER
Star stsn Writer

President Eisenhower today
reaff1rmed his belief in liberal
foreign trade and mutual Secu-
rity policies, but with fiscal
prudence.
The President said world
wide peace and stability depend
on the sourldness of the Amer
lean dollar. He told some 5000
cheering businessman delegates
and guests at the annual meet
ing of the United States Cham
Der of Commerce here that he
will send to Congress this week
another message calling for
responsibility in handling the
fiscal affairs of this Nation. &"
The country, Mr.. Eisenhower
said, must reject expedientS
that might be thought profit
able in an election year"
Mr.. Eisenhower did not di-
vulge, in his 10-mipute talk to
the chambers 48th annual
meeting in Constitution Hall,
the proposed contents of the
forthcoming message.
Interest Plea Assumed
But it was assumed from the
context that he would again
seek removal of the interest
ceiling on Government bonds,
argue against enactment of a
billion-doll housing bill, and
speak out anew against heavy
OUTLAWS for Federal aid to edu-
cation and assistance to de-
pressed areas.
THE resources of this Ma
ton are not inexhaustible, -
Mr.. Eisenhower said.
Noting that his views on
these subjects are shared by
the chamber, he urged that
organization to pass along to
the American. people the in
formation it has obtained
through its studies.
THE fact is that without
liberalized trade, some or

would be out of jobs" the

in its new brief that it is will

since the new law gives it al,
the power it needs to proceed

Because the new act does moi
