MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS The Assocfated Press fs exclusively entitled to he use for republication of all news dispatches credited to it or not other- wise credited in this pgper and also the local news published herein NATION spapers, 1411 Fourth Aven ALASKA 1913 We were browsing through the journal of Alas| 5 first session of the Territorial Legislature the other day and came across some interesting comments on the Alaska of 1913, which we believe isn't nomically different than today in that Alaska is still a pioneer country and needs a great deal of new industrial development. 50 eco- The comments were those of Governor Walter E. Clark. There had just been a change in the national administration and Governor Clark was on the way out, so he spoke probably a little more truthfully and with more frankness than he might have. ' At that time, it should be remembered, Alaska had been granted the right to establish the present limited self-government. We had a territorial gov- ernment but no money to pay for it and also no treasury upon which the first Legislature could draw for money necessitated by way of its measures. The need for revenue by taxation was the prime problem. First of all, Governor Clark said that “the extent of new taxation should be measured carefully to meet only the most pressing requirements of economical public expenditure,” something which wouldn't do at all in this day and age of ‘“social legislation” or whatever you want to call it “I venture to give warning,” he continued, “of | |tax measures that the rate of taxation must not be so ‘hth as to impair the sources of revenue. “To impair these sources in a country of pioneers, where it is desirable on the contrary to afford positive means of encouragement and where the prosperity of one industry often causes the establishment of others and thus promote the rapid settlement of the territory, is to commit a grievous error” This sounds like a logical statement to us— how different the viewpoint is today! Clark also said: “We suffer greatly from non-resident administra- tion.” That hasn’'t changed a bit. Congress has been told about it many times to no avail. Asa matter of fact the very first Legislature in 1913 senf in a resojution asking that administrative appointees “from the Governor on down” be bona fide residents of Alaska,| and defining such bona fide residents as only “actual | residents of Alaska whose residence does not depend | upon political office ... Subsequent legislatures have sent numerous such pointed fesolutions and memorials to Congress for a good many years. but As Ghosts Look On (Cincinnati Enquirer) Ghosts of the Hohenzollerns hovered about the conference tables in Potsdam listening, silent, to the talk that went on there. The faces about the vast | rooms where the Kaiser Wilhelm once walked will be | strange to the wraiths of former kings and emperors. They will be the faces of peoplz the kings of long ago called “common.” Great dreams have been built at Potsdam. Wil- helm and his advisers had imagined plans there which | they thought would bring them control of Europe and a large slice of Asia. Their programs were based, these men thought, in righteousness for they con- sidered always that God was with them-—and with | them alone. But they learned at Soissons, the Marne, Verdun and Belleau Woods that God was with the | commoners. While the Kaiser, defeated and broken, chopped | wood in Holland, an Austrian rose to the power of emperor—although he never called himself by that name. Hitler's dreams of empire, however, Were more grandiose, more elaborate than the imaginings of the glittering court which surrounded Wilhelm. Some of | the same men who trod the Kaiser's Potsdam carpets | were advisers to Hitler. They saw the samz ending of their dreams of aggression. But the ghosts of the Hohenzollerns—those who | scorned the common man of their day—would have | scorned, too, Hitler and his Nazi horde. In the little | paperhanger, who made himself something of a god, there was nothing of the blood called royal. Hitler | himself was a usyrper, in the eyes of the old aris- tocracy, although he aimed toward the very goals the emperors had sought. | The Kaiser and his clan are gone. Hitler and his | Nazi party are dead. As we said, only their ghosts are present at Potsdam today. But others are there| in.the flesh—waiting, perhaps, outside the gates but ‘n]i\e and dangerous nonetheless. These are the men | | who made it possible for the Kaiser to start his wars ‘of aggression; for Hitler to rise to a mighty place— | although a passing one—in world affairs. These are the German militarists, mightier than the Hohenzol- lerns; mightier than the party the paperhanger build- the dangerous folly of over-taxation in a frontier | country where the needs of government easily incline us to forget that burdensome expenses will quickly check pioneer development. “It is a cardinal prmdplos of all _\u<t and Wl%f'conmu ed.

S.| Third Army Headquarters, was made by Manfred Rommel, 17-year-old son of the German “Desert Fox” Young Rommell confirmed that his father was wounded on July 17, 1944, at Livarot, France, during an, American air raid, but said he was | (‘llhE'l this afternoon or Monday.
