Wasn't it about December 8? With the news of the bombing of Dutch Harbor, shortly after the regulations were issued silencing the clicking of cameras, we picked up a copy of a New York camera magazine and found a squib about Alaska in it. Not only did the editors tell their readers about the fine workout they might give their cameras here, but they built us a nice road into Juneau, almost. The magazine printed a picture of some totem poles in its issue for last month. The caption reads: “Alaskan holidays will be more accessible to the American tourist after the completion of the new Pacific Highway between the northwest and Juneau. Camera toters will find a paradise of views in Alaska The Unsinkable Marblehead (New York Times) There was a Marblehead in the United States Navy during the Civil Wa inother during our war witn Spain, in 1898, later converted to do honorable service as a schoolship; and there is, as every one was re- minded recently, a cruiser Marblehead in this war. The Japanese did their very best to alter this situa- Off the eastern coast of Borneo on February 4 her two aerial bombs, killing fifteen afire, and disabling her steering gear. A third bomb smashed underwater sections of the hull near the bow. The Japanese assertions that they had sunk her were not true, but they came near being. The Marblehead came into an American “East Coast port” under her own steam. Some difficulties had been encountered during her long voyage home. On her way to her first emergency stop, at Java, she leaked so badly that the crew had to form a buckeét brigade to keep her afloat. As far as her next stop, at Ceylon, she had to be steered by her engines, All the way home she would have been an easy prey for submarines and weather, but she got here. No finer feat of seamanship is ljkely to be tion they hit men, setting her with THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA found in our naval history, even in the old days when wind was the motive power and captains who lost their masts came in under jury rig. Our sailors haven't lost the qualities that were developed long ago by ships from Marblehead and other merchant ports. Reading this story, which is related in an official but uncommonly sprightly naval dispatch, one finds one more reason for being sure we shall win this war. War Air Tra (New York Times) Our commercial air transport system, built by the foresight and courage of private operators into |a service unparalleled anywhereé else in the world, is now to feel the full effects of total war. To judge from an announcement by the War Department, as yet not fully clarified, the lines -will l1osé hdlf of the planes remaining to them aft. he recent transfer for war use of 25 percent of their equipment. Some | of the liners now to be allocated completely for mili- | tary use will be transferred directly to the War De- partment for operation by Army personnel for var- | jous services and commands. The airlines themselves |are to conveért about seventy planes into cargo car- | riers, which they will continue to operate with their own personnel under contract for the Air Service |Command. Those transports which remain will oper- |ate on new schedules, with emphasis on trunk ser- | vices, possibly under a pooling arrangément. Prior- ort | ities for accommodation on these ships will be still} furgher extended, in order to sure space for mili- tary and war production travel. The air mail service will be curtailed, and, of course, limited to the new routes to be laid down. Probably it will have to face still further curtailment One may be suré that the air transport operators will respond patriotically to the call for the new sac- rifices which they are asked to make. When the war is over, and victory has been- won, air transport far beyond the most visionary expectations of even a few years ago. The seeds of this development ger- minates in the war itself. The universal ocean of the air has brought us global war. Its aftermath | cannot fail to be global air service for men, for mail, for cargo. A Blow To Private Rights (Cincinnati Enquirer) Reviving a proposal killed last year by a vote of | the House of Representatives, the Ways and Means | committee has recommended 2 change in the revenue laws to require a joint return from married couples. The reason given for this action is simply that it will produce $300,000,000 of additional revenue. There is no other argument for it | As was pointed out in these columns last year, such a measure would be a direct and flagrant in- jvasion of the private rights of the individual, and particularly an infringement on the economic equal- ity of women. Many married women have their own incomes, from their work or their property. Their right to that income is recognized by law. Yet the scheme proposed by the Treasury and now endorsed by the Ways and Means Committee would in effect deny a married woman'’s right to that income, would require that it be lumped with her husband'’s income and be taxed as a single entity. The proposed measure would affect only scat- tered couples in most states. But in nine Western or Southern States, where the community property law prevails, it would encroach still more and affect | adversely a very large number of married couples, Such a law as is now proposed might become a bar to marriage in the cases of some individuals who | would be reluctant to accept the financial sacrifice involved. Women with their own incomes would hesi- tate to marry knowing that it would entail a direct |and substantial financial handicap to them. Today it is true there is a despérate need for additional revénue to insure the stability of our ec- i onomic system. But our legislators should be wary of this “easy formula” for picking up $300,000,000. It would be 2 blow to the status of women and an ins cursion into long-established private rights. can look forward with confidence to a development !

CITY APPROVES ~ SCHOOL BUDGET - FOR NEXT YEAR | | The City Council last night stamped its aproval on the city school budget for next year as ap- proved by the school board and presented by Superintendent of Schools A. B. Phillips. The Schools bill in the $89,695 total budget will be $39,400, $900 more than last year. Mr. Phillips said that five teach- ers will be cut from the staff next ,‘year. but that those remaining will |be paid $300 a year more for the duration, or as long as living costs remain at present levels. This will meah that instead of 34 teachers next year, 20 will be employed, and the minimum salary will be raised ',fmm $1,800 to $2,100. The new contracts will' contain a clause allowing teachers to be dismissed on 30 days notice, in case further retrenchments are neces- sitated. The total budget calls for $4,000 more than last year. Repairs have been cut from $4,200 to $2,200. Mr. Phillips said it is possible that the city will get additional funds from the Territory for schools later. | —————-——— There were only four national in- “What's going up here?” | “Huh?” said the operator. “What are you building?” “I don't know,” he replied. “T| never heard nobody say.” i And he resumes the business of digging up the park The answer is that barracks are to be built here, to house soldiers de- tailed to guard the White House, Etate Department, and Treasury | buildings.
