ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. Eutered in the Post [ ane Business Office, 374. "Alaska Newspapers, 1411 NATIC Fourth Avenue Bids . REPRESENTATIVES Seattle, Wash, MORE EMPLOYMENT—FEWER TAXES A danger which should be avoided in the post- war transition period is the possibility that some industries and businesses will not attempt to provide the greatest pessible employment of men available. It is very likely that here in Alaska we will find great numbers of .men out of jobs, looking for work. Every effort should be made on the part of Alaskan industry to employ as many men as can be used Some see an ominous warning in the present trend to a pro-labor Territorial Legislature next Spring, These persons are taking for granted that such a legislature will pile new Territorial taxes on ton of those applied by the Federal Government. This attitude, however, does not seem reasonable. The laboring man knows better than anyone eise that taxes ongbusiness are considered part of an industry’s ove:gead. Wages also come out of overhead. The more for taxes, the less for wages— as well as profite. This is the picture, of course, in normal times when the labor reservoir is not dry. On the other hand, practically every employer of labor pays substantial Federal taxes. Unemploy- ment adds to this tax burden, while new jobs which reduce unemployment reduce also the total burden. tax | More employment would mean not only reduced Federal taxes, but also the creation of better markets through the increased purchasing power of the employed. Of course there are those who believe whole- heartedly in a Federal make-work program im- mediately after the war, Such a plan, however, is not positive in character. Such proposals for post- war versions of the WPA or PWA are negative, having the effect of all tax-supported employment—and that is to reduce private employment through heavy taxes imposed on private enterprise to support public employment. Public employment usually is wasteful. The Am- erican public. will tolerate wasteful spending in the face of wartime conditions. It is better to have spent money that was not needed than to have not spent money that was needed to win the war. Alaska's economy will depend largely upon wheth~ er or not the price of gold is such that will encourage the reopening of mining operations—whether or not other of its normal industries, now on the siding while the war trains rush by, will be taxed out of business, or encouraged to renew activities. Any period of argument to develop a plan after war has ended would in itself be disastrous. They the Never Say Die (@incinnati. Enquirer) The stalwart people of Holland even row, on the >ve of the invasion, are laying plans for building new irmies to be used after the liberation of their home- land in carrying out Allied military plans and poli- cies. Dr. Jacobus G. de Beus, aide to Premier Pieter S. Gerbrandy of the Netherlands, now in New York, | has announced some of the details of this army organization plan. The Netherlanders foresee the need for four armies. One will'be used within the home land itself for patrol and police work. Another may .go toward the occupation of Germany and, Dr. de Beus says “we | need not have any doubt as to the enthusiasm of lhef Dutch people in regard to that particular task.” A third army would be needed in the Far East to wipe | HAPPY BIRTHDAY ] e ey JUNE 21 Lorraine Holden Neal .

Two Eagle boats, 57 and 31, with Naval Reservists aboard, arrived in port the previous night, the former from Bremerton and the latter from Tacoma, on the first and only cruise of this season. The Chilkoot Barracks baseball team and as many of the officers and men at the post who desired to come, were to make the trip to Juneau for the Fourth of July celebration. This night the big Moose Smoker was scheduled to be held, with the main bout being fought, between Ford Butler and Sinclair Brown for the heavyweight championship of Alaska. With approximately 300 Elks and their friends signed up for the annual picnic of the local Elks Lodge to be held the following day at Marmion Island, one of the most successful outings ever staged by the lodge was forecast. picnic grounds.
