AIRPLANE PRIORITIES The big airplane manufacturing | up his hands and shouted | ; companies are going to have to de- cide very soon whether they continue building both commercial and milit- tary planes or only the latter. For months this debate has been | raging inside the Defense Commis- | sion. With lagging plane production, | War Department chiefs are demand- |ing that the companies concentrate only on military orders. But with civilian air transportation more pop- ular than ever this would mean a serious business loss to many com- mercial companies. So after many hours of secret de- bate the Aircraft Priorities Commit- tee has sent a representative to the Pacific Coast to investigate. Upon his ‘recommendation will depend whether commercial airlines get more planes or not. NOTE. — War Department chiefs contend they could get an addition- Ial 500 planes a month by April, 1942, if all commercial orders were can- celled.

To The Editor of The Empire: As just a plain citizen I'd like to vent my ire at being a “sucker” Tax- payer. I believe in taxes,—but I don't believe SOME should pay the taxes for ALL. I think it is about time hat we have a tax in this Territory that makes EVERYONE pay his just share. The political seers that be, are say- ing that when the legislative session is all over, we will have a liquor tax, 2 two cent a package cigarette tax, a gasoline tax and NO income tax. Well, we are just an average family with the average amount of minor vices. We smoke three packages of cigarettes a day between us. That makes a cigarette tax for the year of $21.90. We will also pay $10 or $12 on the liquor tax. That makes over $30 tax a year for us. Our taxi rides Wwill increase to take in the gas tax, 50 our tax bill to the Territory will be still hjghn THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, MONDAY.

Dancing is to become less popular as serious demands upon| time affect young as well as old. Training classes of many sorts now will take the place of bridge.
