So it is clear that if claims are recognized and lusive use and Secretary rules in the Indian petitioners are granted e occupancy of the lands claimed, all Alaskans will get it in the neck. This may be 2 sad awakening to many who have taken not too much interest in the matter, believing that only the large fish packers would be affected. In addition to the fishermen who will be deprived of their fishing grounds, many small prop- erty owners of patented land will find themselves deprived of their property To date no Alaskan official has raised a voice in | protest of the land grab. We believe that this is a sorry thing. There should be some intervention on the part of the people of Alaska. Certainly all of our officials are not responsible to Boss Ickes. Up to this time, however, the only intervention has been on the part of three Congreessmen from Outside. Taxes for Employment (New York Times) The research committee of the Committee for Economic Development, a private organization com- posed mainly of leaders in business and industry, has brought forward a proposed post-war tax plan that | deserves the most serious study. In many ways it is an outstanding contribution to the subject.

It rests on sound basic principles: First, “the tax system must impose the least possible restriction upon an expansion of produc- tion and employment”; second, “taxes should be fair among persons,” and third, “taxes must be adequate.” While most persons would accept these basic | principles, they lead to some important conclusions | that were not embodied in our tax laws before the | war. “We must see that enough revenue is raised, in | forder to instill justifiable confidence in the integrity of the Federal Government, in the soundness of the dollar, and in the safety of the Federal debt as an investment This committee is convinced that [the fifteen years of uninterrupted Federal deficits (e . ooooicrooeoeeee | should be brought to an end after the war.” \ ! % HAPPY BIRTHDAY | B ey THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 28 Mrs. Margaret Case | John Pastl Mrs. LeRoy West i Gazil E.
