ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. BRINGING US FACE TO FACE WITH RELIEF. Although Federal Relief grants to the States for sometime have been contingent upon the amount the individual State contributed as its share, the first time this arrangment has included Alaska was stated in a telegram from the Federal Emergency Relief Administration to the Governor's office last week. The telegram advises that: As a condition of making further grants to Alaska, we must ask that the Territorial Legislature now in session take steps to make available funds for the defraying of a fair share of the cost of unemployment relief. Confronted with many perplexing problems this announcement adds another to the Twelfth Legisla- ture now in session and points to the necessity of maintaining an economy program, the mainten- ance and support of present tax revenue sources and most probably the seeking of new ones. The seeking of new tax revenues is a nation- wide problem and one upon which right now many State Legislatures and the National Congress are concentrating with sincere study. It is a simple matter to tax indiscriminately, but the results of the taxation should and must be studiously evaluated as frequently improper taxation has defeated its purpose by actually curtailing or entirely eliminating the source of taxation. In times such as these when direct relief is necessary for the present and the general encour- agment of business and industry to expand so that men may be put back to productive work much calm, analytical study should be given any pro- posed legislation which would drastically curtail im- mediately for example, Alaska’s Number One in- dustry, fishing, from which considerably more than eighty per cent of the entire Territorial revenue is derived, in addition to the payrolls it affords annually, Direct Federal allotments to Alaska since 1933 total $4,319,820. This amount includes some projects not yet completed, nevertheless the great bulk of the money has been spent and the balance will be as rapidly as is possible on the various projects. It is an important amount of money that has been given to the Territory. It has done much to relieve distress, reduce unemployment and afford needed improvements. Now, as far as direct relief is concerned, appears that the Territory must bear a fare share. This means that not only the Territory is faced with raising relief money, but it comes back also on the towns and communities who will necessarily be called upon to contribute their share, which in turn will come trom cvery individual now employed. In other words the problem of relief has come di- rectly to each one of u With this new turn of events in mind, un- doubtedly many citizens as well as the Legislature | will scrutinize more carefully the sources of present revenue and the prospects for new revenue, which | will tend to make all feel more responsible for the continued welfore of our citizens in general, present industries and the encouragement of ones. new it | our | THE DAILY ALASKA BHPIRE MONDAY, FEB. 11, le \tateq Must Fall in Line. (Kansas City Times.) The necessity of uniform and supplementary State action on social security measures was evident from the moment the Administration’s program was an- nounced early this month. as further attention is given to the program at Washmgmn and as a model old age pension and !unemployment insurance bill is drawn up as a sug-| gested guide to the State Legislatures, | Nb compulsion is to be exercised from Federal |sources, save that which may be inherent in the | r if they will promptly snipulaccd terms on which the States may part.icipnr,e‘ to the best advantage for themselves. It is pain-| |fully clear that if some such guidance as this were |not offered and voluntarily accepted, State legisla- (left to the State, although the Government would | collect and invest the funds), would be wasteful, per- | haps politically dominated in many instances, and there would be State levies that were both excessive {and burdensome to business and the worker—the lat- |ter constituting one important group of the expected | beneficiaries. Under the model and suggested State legislation ithere would be safeguards ‘calculated to prevent such abuses, Necessary State levies, aside from the Fed- |eral, would be indicated. The States would have no sound reason for exceeding them. No valid excuse could be found for imposition of numerous or over- lapping . taxes under the cloak of a humanitarian cause. Administration of the funds would be pro- tected through the Federal requirement that all State disbursing officers and employees should be selected without regard to partisan or political con- sideration and on a merit basis. That would have to be done, in fact, if any State that participated in the Federal plan. By no other means than the general procedure in prospect could such an ambitious program of social security be safely launched. State rights and prerogatives become distinctly secondary in a mat- ter so directly related to the general welfare of the people of the whole country. In the entire situation there is a plain and impressive reminder to the States to withhold attention to bills and committments on social security until the Federal program has been dealt with finally. Government by Town Meeting. (Kansas City Star.) The full text of Secretary Wallace's proposal for amending the Constitution by popular refer- endum, as published in Collier’s, reveals the specific plan he has in view for the use of such referenda. dent to set up a sort of supreme economic council of competent and distinguished personnel. This coun- cil would study and report on such great issues as tariffs, international debts and land policy. The referendum on any recommendation from this coun- cil, he believes, would be a democratic and effective way for getting the recommendation adopted or rejected. The plan would be an extension of the demo- cratic methods used by the AAA to get a popular vote on such policies as corn-hog contracts, cotton control and tobacco control. It might be helpful to set up such a competcnt economic council as the Secretary proposes. Its re- ports would be educational and might have influence. —that is another matter. The questions to be sub- mitted would be far more complicated and technical than those submitted by the AAA. What reason is there to believe they would be passed on soberly and wisely in a national referendum? Take question of international debts, for instance. exchange, which is difficult even for experts to understand. Would not all the reasoned judgment of the supreme council be likely to be overriden that of President Coolidge when he disposed of the matter by saying, “They hired the money, didn’t they?” For good or ill America has outgrown the town- meeting stage where questions could be explained and passed on by a comparatively small number of voters familiar with local conditions. There was sound reason behind the determination of the founders of the republic to set up a representative form of government rather than a pure democracy.
