Fourth Avenue Bldg., JLATIONIST, COPPERHEAD, v ll’hk '8 I-AT( Once again The Pmp.m has come in for a little name-calling. And as we have pointed out many times in the past—it would be a poor newspaper, indeed, that followed a policy everyone agreed with. So we expect these things from time to time-—and really enjoy them On the front page of teday’s edition you will Imd‘ téxt for today. We fail to see the Cordova orator’s critigism of the news treatment of the Governor’s message, Cer-| tainly the news was that he had proposed a new tax | program for Alaska. And we also believe that we | listed all of the points made in the Governor’s speech. It wasiwith regret that we were unable to print the full text of the speech. But its Jength prohibited this. 1 Neither could we personal attack upon the Gevernor. None was intended. We ppy to that our assailant did not wish to “attempt to tell that paper . . . what its editorials shall say . .. " or apparently did not wish to attempt to influence or infringe upon the freedom | s or otherwise. It was nice of him to state all this while he came up with such accusations as “copperhead, viper, isolationist, com- mercial press, menopoly, abrogation of sacredness,” and so on down the usual list. We will state at this time that such orgies of name-calling will not influence us or intimidate us into giving up one bit of our right to present things as we see them and to argue editorially for what we Alaska and against what we do not see any se¢ of the press by thres believe in for believe in. | Mr. Wiese to his opinions and to ex- | press opinions of the members of his organization. | We believe that™he, came close to the erux of the taxation program proposed when he said: “After alkino'matter what in life we undertake, there are bills to pay. And no matter what program is arrived at for the solution of Alaska's problems it is likewise going to have to be paid for.” Is that the way we live? Do we first a at a program, then pay the bills? Or do we first decide how much we are going is entitled | concluded that | what |to have available to pay the bills and then adapt a In other words, do we under- look around to see what we have to program o |take and then Ifinance the undertaking. We believe that Mr. Wiese, and others, have been | Kislead by the message of the Governor delivered last Thursday. ‘ He suggest \\]‘UH for getting His premise is cordingly? a program for spending, then a pro- the money to pay for the program. that all of these things must be pro- vided for in Alaska. And, he follows, if this is so then we must have these new taxes. But the premise upon which, this taxation pro- am is based is not necessarily proved. It has not |been established that we must have all of these | | things or that we can even pay for them. Mr. Wiese succeeds in pi ng forth the hls(‘ impression in his talk that we are opposed to all cf these t that the Governor proposes for Alaska. | | That is not so. Only a fool would say that these | | things would not be fine for Alaska | A man who lives in a one-room shack is certainly | not going to be opposed to living in a mansion with | 50 rooms and 57 bathrooms, steam heat, servants, a | wimming pool in the backyard and all of the other [ luxuries he might desire. | But the question is this: is the man in the shack |going to be interested in the mansion if he is rmm to have Yo pay for it and he finds it beyond his means? Mr. Wiese thinks Not only that, he “has our endorsement (CIO) And common qeople of Alaska 50 it merits support of all of the , " that “this they recognize that this all of us who make nation think alike If Mr. Wi Legislature that for all of the think this w and there is no cause for any further discussion. have spoken through Mr. Wiese. the they want . . .

Yet 'Tckes’ idea of Alaskan | development is rigid control by Tekes over all pros- | pectors, miners. and minerals; over fishing and the | streams; over forests and lands—a government bureau- | cracy which makes development a matter of political | favor. Harold of Alaska’s valuable resources agriculture, minerals, fish, s0 long rieglected is vitally of the Northwest States. | Ickes' department was responsible for | creation of six Indian reservations in Alaska'in 1943. | aid to serve | One of them in the Chandalar district i 33 Indians, and the number of acres is 1,400,000. Hear- ings have been held recently in Alaska and Seattle on claims of about 1,200 Indians to virtually all the fertile and forested lands of Southeastern Alaska. If these granted there is no re n (o believe that Indians and Eskimos may not successfully claim the rest of the Territory.

Fastest dog teams, one by | Leonhard Seppala, were to rush to Fairbanks or Nenana, in temperatures ranging from 40 to 60 degrees below zero, to contact a shipment of antitoxin sent from various places, and get the serum into the afflicted community. Serum was being rushed from Anchorage by a relay of dog | teams to Nenana. Delegate Dan Sutherland announced in Washington | that Roy Darling, Department of Justice investgator, former Navy flier, “mnounct‘d he would fly from Fairbanks to Nome with 1000,000 units of serum if the Navy gave the O. K. One doctor was alone at Nome working day and night to aid victims there and also in surrounding | sections. 1 The Estebeth returned to port unable to make the trip to Sitka after being hold-up for three days at Tee Harbor because of the gale. Thomas L. Allen rrived in Juneau from the South after a pleasure {#nd business trip to the Pacific Northwest. The City Council purchased a combined grader and snow plow for immediate delivery. Lee Rox was taking orders for snow shoveling, having a large force of men ready for instant call. Roofs especially were banked high with Snow. The Territorial Canvassing Board announced that personal count of ballots would not be undertaken unless the Territorial Legislature gave the order. “Green Stockings,” a comedy, was to be produced at Spickett's Palace, and Harriet Barragar, in the leading role, was to wear 'em. Weather report: High, 4; low, 2 above zero; clear with 24 miles an hour gale. s e g it s e Daily Lessons in English 3. 1. corbon MWWM “His pen will ‘be jequally equally welt" or “will do as well u WORDS OFTEN MISUSED: Do not say, * as Well as mine.” Say, #Will do 5 mine.’ OFTEN MISPRONOJNCED' Patronize. ngnmcc first sylhb!c PAY, not PAT.
