With a local effort of four mills, the Palmer Independ- ent School District would stand to gain over S70.000 in school funds for the 1963-64 year un- der the Foundation Formula law passed in 1862, William T. Zahradnicek, superintendent of Palmer schools and newly ap- pointed state director of edu- cation, said this week.
 Other figures presented by the superintendent show that under the formula a Captain Cook borough would have. deficit of S403, ,084 which would have to be met by borough residents, and a Palmer-Wasilla borough would face deficit of $204, ,2O6.
 The estimated total budget for the Palmer district is S929,- 05l .62, Zahradnicek said. Total revenue other than property taxes would amount to S732,- 138.41 under the foundation formula. The total to be raised through local property taxes is $l96,913.2l, which would re- quire only 1925 mill tax levy, including four mills of To- cal effort.
 If property taxes remained at their present level in the Palmer school district, ther'
 would be sufficient funds t, carry out the proposed schoo

 He said that he personally feels that the districts great est needs are schools and roads, and that these needs would be more quickly m e t with a large tax base tn n with a small one.
 Substantial changes h a ve been made in the borough bill as reported out of committee, although the provision which provides for mandatory incor- poration of nine state popula- ton centers by Jan. 1, 1864 re- mains unchanged.

 Under the terms of the pres ent bill, all first or conc class boroughs would be eli gible for grants of 10 per cent of state lands within their boundaries, whether or not borough organization is volun- tary. A cash grant of $10 for every voter in last November's general election, up to a limit of $25, ,000 per borough, would also be allowed.

 Rosco Taylor, representing Experiment Station employees, expressed the fear that the proposed drag-racing strip at the Palmer Airport could de- velop into a neighborhood nuisance. Louis Bencardino, police chief, who is working with the local car club, said that there would probably be racing activity at the airport only one day week, that in coming traffic for races would be directed to the drag strip via Coop Avenue and Airport Road, that the Airmen see the venture as an opportunity to improve the airport runway, and that many persons believe that this will be a good way to draw business into town. He also pointed out that this will be a help in handling our own juvenile problem. He said that a meeting is planned on Mon- day, March 18, with the Air men, but so far no definite

Legislators want Alaskans to organize boroughs. But the peopleseem to feel that what they haven't got can't tax them.
 
 If boroughs are going 10 cost money. we s h ou d change the spelling 10 bur- Yos. That is a more appropri- ale name. if we are going 10 get taken for a ride.
 
 Boroughs are probably very important. We need more gov- ernment in areas of Alaska that don't have any people.
 I don't know anything about boroughs. But if they're so important. how are we qetting along without them?

Mrs. Smith is one of the few edi-

what she sees and to comment as she
believes, regardless of the %conseouen

And she's about to be run out of
business because of it.
1t doesn't take many such suits to
make most editors feel such a story
isn't worth the risk.
Another case, a news agency re-
porter wrote about an alleged fraud
being perpetrated at a state agency.
The man involved sued for a large
amount. They settled for a small a.
mount, told the reporter in effect, 1--WE

way.
How many more exposes will this

We hear constant dire warnings
of a communist take-over in America

The immediate threat is at the

of the free press.
If the free press can be throttled
effectively at home, as is being done

Rubel Phillips, Republican
nominee for governor, Satur-
day wound up a week of Or
ganizational Meetings at
Bonneville where he told a
crowd that "Mississippians
are waking up to the disad-
vantages of a one-party sys-
tenn"
Phillips said, "This is true
in spite of the fact that the
Democratic Executive Com
mittee is taking great pains
to make people believe they
are legally or morally bound
to vote a straight Democra-
tic ticket. Most of them now
know this is untrue" he said.
Phillips said, "The ridicu-
lous Democrat statement that
a two-party system allows a
minority bloc to hold the bal
ance of power has been
thoroughly exposed for what
it is"
He warned that 1.-THE Ne
gro vote in Louisiana and
Georgia both one-party
states = is the balance of
power and told the crowd
that Democratic candidates in
these states are forced to So
licit Negro votes.
"When you have a two
party system, each party is
watchdog over the other and
the first party to solicit Ne
gro votes would be exposed
by the other" he said.
"The truth of the matter
is that these old Democratic
politicians see the strangle
hold they have had on the
state for a hundred years be-
ginning to slip and they are
