We are informed that Ketchikan's tax rate now stands at 20 mills, the limit, but that a recent valuation raised the ‘value of Ketchikan property | from $8,000,000 to $15,000,000. One resident of Ket- | councils of the cities desired a raise in the tax rate, | &. We note that the Ketchikan Chamber of Com- | PRESENTATIVES e Bldg., Seattle, Wash J‘chlksn was not disturbed at this apparent doubling | of the tax rate by the new valuation because he said the city probably would lower the rate accordingly. - | Yet if this bill passes, the city would pay the maxi- ka Newspapers, 1411 mum rate unless it wiped out its own property tax or reduced it to only a few mills. | However, as far as we know, the Ketchikan | Chamber is the only body endorsing the bill repre- T | HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ' i FRIDAY, MARCH 9, 1945 Harold Zenger !

GI JOE AT PEACE TABLE The State of South Carolina has been the first to come out with a forthright 100 per cent demand that members of the armed forces be represented at the peace table. The South, Carolina House of Rep- resentatives adopted a unanimous resolution that goes even further than this columnist’s proposal to have one representative of the armed forces at the peace table, by proposing three. South Carolina, which at one time hod more men per capita in the Army-Navy than any other state in the Union has led the Nation in a lot of things, proposes that: “Whereas the American soldiers have fought with unequaled cour- age, valor and bravery, moving al- ways forward from victory to vic- tory, spilling their lifeblood that our cherished American ideals might not perish . . “Therefore be it resolved that the 12,000,000 men of the armed forces be represented at the peace con- ference, that there be selected one number from the personnel of the enlisted men of the Army, one from the Navy, and one from the Air Force, to have their part in the deliberation for the peace of the world.” Hard-working Senator Olin D, Johnston, twice Governor of South Carolina and himself a sergeant in the 42nd Division overseas in the last war, placed the resolution be- fore the United States Senate last week. Note—Several Senators have come out for the idea of a GI Joe at the peace table, including Pepper of Florida, Chandler of Kentucky, and Magnuson of Washington.
