 There are new taxes on cigar cites, motor vehicle licenses, wine and hard liquor, highway gasoline and individual net income.

 Dr. Bob Johnson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, announced at the meeting of the group Thurs day noon at the Town Club, that a letter has been sent to the author asking if he would come. He is to be in Anchorage this summer, which would only necessitate the additional trip from there to Ko- diak.

PIMA Goes To Jets

The purchase of Pacific North ern Airlines of two Boeing 720 jet airplanes was announced by A. G. Woodley, president and general manager of the airlines. The an nouncement was made as Pacific Northern commenced its 30th year of Alaska service.
 This purchase represents an in- vestment of $12,000,000. including aircraft and spares. Delivery and inauguration of service between the Pacific Northwest and Alaska points served by the company, is scheduled for Spring of 1862.
 The PIMA 720's will have a seat ing capacity of 120 passengers, and will include tourist and first class accommodations. The 600-mile-an- hour jets will be powered with Pratt & Whitney turbo jet engines.
 "The Boeing 720 jets were se- lected after more than year of in- tensive evaluation studies of var ious jet aircraft, and the decision was influenced by the demon strated integrity of the Boeing air planes which have experienced more hours in airline service than any other similar aircraft" Wood ley stated.

Along The Waterfront

A calm sea as this is written, es- pecially in the small boat harbOr, typifying the quiet serenity exist ing at most of the canneries here abouts.
 Boats have been coming in off the fishing grounds the past two weeks or so, and this week all can neries have operated on a cur tailed basis.
 At Alaska King Crab, Emil Nor ton reports a half days work couple times this week. A moulting period now exists and it will be few weeks yet before the crabs come in in any great quantity.
 Making up for the small quantity of crab, they pulled out nice one that is something of a record for size, 24 lbs, ozs. in weight. More about him Cor her) in a future issue.

 These king crab are finally com ing into their own, it seems. A big live one is going to Harvard Uni versity-that's right, Harvard. As he boards the PIMA plane for his air trip, the stewardess will be dressed in gown and cap and the pilot in a dress suit. But more about that later, too.

Dear Editor:

Dear Editor:
The proposed Constitutional
Amendment for the purpose of
giving the residents OF Washing
ton, D. c. the right to vote for
Federal office candidates, is not
receiving the attention which it
should.
1t is true that this proposed
Amendment would remove an OBJ
vious inequality; however, it is
compouding the felony so to
speak; thereby making bad mat
tiers worse. The federal bureacra-
cy has become such a large part
of our population, as to constitute
a dangerous and destructive politi-
cal segment.
We have about ten million fed
eral employees who have a vest
ed interest in a constantly eX-
banding federal payroll - with
more and more benefits" These
individuals as a group with a
common self interest hold a bal
ance of power which can swing a
close election, making it quite OBJ
vious that NONE of these should
be in a position to cast a vote in
favor of the common vested in
terest of the group as a whole.
There T today over IS million
persons receiving Federal Govern
ment checks. Actually, none of
these should have a voice in
the policies eff the Federal Gov
eminent, although it would be a
political impossibility to deny a
voce to this large number, it
should definitely, however, be
done in so far as the Civil Ser
vice personnel is concerned, which
after all was the original intent of
the Constitution, which if strictly
adhered to would find the Fed
eral Government largely contain
ed within the confines of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
The danger of a vested interest
has long been recognized, partlcu-
larly in the case of Cabinet Of
ficers. The same principle should
obviously apply in the case of a
