The chap who stood in the doorway the other evening and remarked he was from California and wished to high heaven he was back as the Taku whirled the snow down Front Street probably had left his heavy underwear in the South. At any rate he couldn’t have contacted his fellow Californian, Assemblyman Anderson of Cupertino, who seems to have rather an opposite view of Alaska and wha‘ the future holds. Assembly Anderson, as was pointed out in news | dispatches, is the man who has intfoduced in the California Legislature a resolution urging immediate construction of the Alaska highway north from Vancouver, B. C. He admits it is likely that the United States will have to loan Canada the money to finance the Dominion’s share, but, he hastens to say, the project will not only employ 14,000 men but will open a territory capable of supporting 3,000,000 persons. 3 The road, as the friendly Californian indicated, is a certainty and it will open up to the United States its richest treasure house. A few short years ago when the idea was first advanced it was tossed aside by may, even some of the more conservative, as another pipe dream from a diseased mind but today much of the vast highway that will virtually link the poles has been constructed. Even in the face of depression years progress has been made and it will continue to be made. True, it may not come this year or next but in the not too far distant future the International Highway will be lined with as many streamlined cars as Second Avenue in Seattle is at 5 o'clock in the afternoon The lad who dreaded the Taku, we feel, was just a little short-sighted and.it is ppohably safe to,yen- ture that should he return fo the Orange Belt he'd | likely be one of the first to head for the North| over the new highway when such men as Assembl, man Anderson and others in the States and Alaska |that in another ten years we will see far more| have made the great project a erality. TIMBER FOR CONGRESS, MAYBE. The little things in life, ‘as has often been stated, | are usually the most important, and, it might be added, usually make the front page news. Consider the Fben York. Eben, it appears, | is a fisherman he Maine coast, For 24 years, | winter and summer he has plied thereabouts, ‘ watching this and that while pursuing his vocation. Sample Shop Among the little things noted by Eben was a sengun} with snow white ' body and jet black wings Ilyingl‘ around or perched on the cage that crowns the "8‘"! iron spindle on Basket Island Ledges in that| vicinity. : “I know he's 24 years old” York told a news| man, “and he looks good for another winter at| least.” | Eben, it strikes us, would make a mighty fine Congressman. He'd watch for those smart little clauses the slickers are always writing into special interest bills. Swift-Moving Era. (New York World-Telegram.) Go to the Thirty-fifth Annual Automobile Show at the Grand Central Palace and feel the wind ol time switling past the new streamline human era. A study of the instant compliance of manu- facturers with fast mechanical advance in automobile building helps explain the widespread readiness of the American people to accept new things in| government. | The drastic outer changes in automobiles, as in contemporary govrenment, are producing marked, if | often undiscernible, internal adjustments. The ex- treme automobile streamlining has contributed to| riding ease—motors pushed more compactly forward, seats swung further in between the rear and front axles, reducing jar and pitching motion. Mechanical improvement is proflic. Greater en- gine power to weight. Improved spring action and balance, increasing silence and freedom from vibra- tion. Increased safety—better lights, more powerful and responsive brakes. And easier operation through automatic gear shifts and “electric hands” on "m. instrument board in the place of the old gear| lever. The 200 new models may be powerfully symbolic of changes in American economic and social attitude. The vehicles that have carried men from the begin- | ning of civiliation have helped determine the speed man has made in scientific, sociological, govern- mental and all other progress. It seems clear that a nation that can absorb the shock of the year’s drastic model changes while split- ting the wind with growing ease and comfort is| ready for any changes the “New Deal’ 'offers. | . | Black Gold. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Petroleum has been called gold because there is usually more profit in mining it than in digging out the yellow metal of greater prestige. Legislatures have found in the last fifteen years that gasoline, a refinement of black gold, is true to its name Gasoline has become the source of revenues esti- mated at a half-billion dollars annually in the forty-eight States. The taxing of gasoline is quite new, having started in Oregon only in 1919. But it now is a very important feature of the tax struc- ture of almost every State. The gasoline tax began as a tax on motorists for the sole purpose of building roads, Professor Finla Crawford finds in a recent study of the sub-| ject. But since 1930, gas tax revenues have been used more and more for miscellaneous purposes. In 1933 over $53,000,000 or more than 10 per cent of the total gas tax collections, were used for purposes other than highways. More than half this amount went for relief, and about $13,000,000 went to educa- tion. Although a half-dozen States have set up barriers against the diversion of gasoline tax funds to non-| THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, THURSDAY, JAN. 24 20 YEARS AGO Prom The Empire ot " nd JANUARY 24, 1915 The big armored German cruiser Bluecher was sunk in the English Channel, and two German battle cruiser seriously injured.

Ohio’s rejection of a constitutional amend-| ment restricting such funds to use on highways is characteristic of the trend. It is not unlikely | than one-tenth of the gas tax revenues of the country diverted to general expenditures. While some contend that this is unfair to motor- ists, the same could be said of most other taxes. .To tax the bachelor on the house he owns and use the money for public schools is not fair, either One might object to the taxing of consumers of food to provide money for farmers, but that is being done. In the gasoline tax as in these other cases, it is useless to try to balance tax burdens against direct benefits, with respect to the individual tax- payers involved.
