The | Senator pointed out that the Alaska }Juneau Gold Mining Company must operate many years yet to pay off| (the investment it has made, and, that under a gross tax, mines in | development would be forced to pay ‘Mxea out of losses, which in many ‘cases would prohibit operation and development. The Senator urged all interested (to attend the public hearing on the gold tax before the Senate as a |committee of the whole this after- !noonA | School Administration Told | H. L. Faulkner, president of the !Board of Education, gave a brief history of the school administra- |tion in Alaska, and explained in a brief manner, because of lack of time, the functions of the Board of Education and the problems with which it was confronted. In the early days the schools were towns, and from the Alaska Fund, in un-incorporated towns, Mr.' Faulkner explained. The revenue for schools before 1818 in incor- porated towns was received from {saloon taxes. Prohibition changed the situation and in 1919 the Leg- hlaluxe created the position of \Commissmner of Education, with an appropriation of $80,000. Since then the schools have | jgrown to a need of approximately ' $500,000 per year. In Board of Education was created with one member from each Di- vision and one member at large, Mr. Faulkner explained. Mr., Faulkner praised Governor Troy for his selection of board; members and poinfed out that he believed the Board of Education was the only Administrative Board which had’ cut its Budget. Mr.! Faulkner said he believed this year the school budget would be about| $102,000 less than the estimate made by the Board of Budget. Mr. Shields Introduced Introduced by President Folta as a real Alaskan and consistent friend of the Territory whose generosity came sincerely from the heart, Ar- chie Shiels replied that whatever generosity he might have he learn- ed that generosity while living and working among the people of this Territory. Mr. Shiels said that in many ways the Territory was like a corpora- tion, wijth the Governor as chair- man of the board and the Legis- Iative bodies as meéting biennially as ‘'directors. ' He also pointed out that the fishing industry and the Territory had many things in com- mon for their mutual benefit and that he felt the spirit of coopera- tion between the two, one as the largest tax-payer and the other as the receiver of taxes was grows ing. In conclusion Mr. Shiels said that in a broad sense the fishing industry stands for the same kind of service to Alaska as does the Chamber of Commerce. Judge 8. Hellenthal Is Speaker Judge Simon Hellenthal of the {beaches in the 1933 the [ 'charges against Joyce MoGee, alias Peggy Hughes, for writing a threat- | 'ening letter to the City Man’\;,m, ‘early in the week.

BYHEAVY SNOWFALL| Uneasiness as to the welfare of | deer in Southeast Alaska following the late deep snowfall today re- sulted in the scheduling of the Alaska Game Commission vessel Seal to leave Juneau this week-end to carry to Warden H.
