We refer to the bill for loans and bonuses for veterans of World War II. bill left the Senate into it. We believe that most of the the bill were satisfied with it as it Anchorage veterans favored it and a means of organization When that work had gone beneficiaries of ssed the Senate favored the excise fax it contained as raising the money. Ketchikan veterar took the same stand, and in Juneau the American | Legion favored the bill. The only organized opposition to the tax came from veterans of Fairbanks, and we believe it is true that the majority of veterans favored | the excise tax and the Senate bill as it passed the Senate. It seems 1ge to us that the editors of two papers, one in Anchorage and the other in Ket- chikan, both being published in communities where the veterans have been unanimous in their endorsement of the Senate bill and the tax it contains, are the only two publications opposing the Senate bill tax. The Anchorage editor attacks the tax because he | says it is wanted by the canned salmon industry—a red herring that should be worn out by now. And the Ketchikan writer claims that if the tax is imposed the canned salmon industry will go to Canada and pack its fish because that industry is against the ta: Both newspapers would ' be better off to print what their vetera think of the tax and thit is that they are for it. When thé bill passed the Senate it contained a tax measure whxclx is an excise tax, falsely labeled a “sales tax.” That tax was contained in the bill for reasons. First because it was d]),l.l(l)l that was the onl) form of tax that would bring in the money— ‘ur der Standard’s Puuley’s wells, ard property, hac The Washmglon a great deal of | drilled nea belng large enough to satisfy the veterans' needs. It is not a permanent tax. | But now what is happening? The House majority |is using the veterans' bill as an excuse to attempt to force on the people of Alaska a separate income tax bill—a form of taxation which has been turned down by three successive sessions of the Territorial Legisla- (ture. The veterans are being “used” in this attempt {even though the majority of them have spoken in | favor of the excise tax, and we believe this is deplor- }umn Why make the veteran take the rap? The excise tax contained in the Senate bill, now {in conference, isn't going to hurt anybody. It is a small tax which will be paid by a great many persons |and business by the mail order hous and the | tourists and the non-resident workers. It will bring {the money in almost at once. | ! The issue seems clear to us, and we believe the! veteran also knows the score. We want to see him | zet something this session—not a year from now—and |if the present deadlock continues the veteran is going to take the rap and the fault will be with the House of Representatives. Look at it this way. The majority of organized veterans in Alaska Lave endorsed their bill, including | the excise—"sales tax.” A minority doesn't care for it. { Another minority doesn’t want to speak out for or Legislature.

Real fact is that this was true. Ickes did not give the Senate the full text of his diary. He purposely held out one pungent line.

The censored | passage read: “Pauley . said he considered Ed | Flynn a cheap Bronx politician To have this come out regarding the former Chairman of the Dem cratic National Committee was tog much even for Tydings.

The evidence showed that Pa had paid $66,000 to Standard Oil of California -or ilaging oil out from | of [ nylons from where he started to drill anc was underneath Standard property. In the end, some of Pauley’s or erators put a stick of dynemite in the bottom of this well and blew .t up. This destroyed the evidence showing exactly where the bottom of the well was.
