This bill followed the recommendation in my veto message of a school s~ trict bill at the last regular se: sion which was ocbjectionable Le- cause it deprived the people of their existing right to determine the boundaries of these districts and to vote to approve or reject them. “A number of tax bills were pass- Act, €d raising additional revenues on amusement devices, the LEGISLATURE " COMMENDED BY GRUENING (Continued jrom Page One) the passage of the original .

But most important, the Act provides a fundamental and meeded improve- ment in virtually guaranteeing pay- a system of either compulsory in- surance, or the giving of satis tory proof of the employer's { sponsibility. “In another bill the amount and ¢ duration of unemployment com- { pensation was likewise increased from $16 a week for sixteen weeks 10 825 a week for 26 weeks.

The new provisions are in harmony with Alaska’s current needs. Teachers Salaries “Another excellent meas that raising scheol teache! jes. It is a strange paradox that in our democracy, where compul- sory and free education is the basis for the creation and maintenance of a self-governing citizenry, the school teacher, to whom we entrust the guidance of our children dur- ing their formative years, to who we logk fn a considerable dogree to lead them into the ways of good citizenship——this school teacher is often the most miserably paid of all professional people, securing a wage below that of an unskilled laborer. 1 am highly gratified to report this is no longer true in Alaska, and the facts merit public- izing. “A companion measure giving five percent additional refunds to school districts likewise passed and makes possible such higher pay- ments. “This is as it should be. Coupled with the Teachers' Retirement Act passed at the 1945 session, this legislation gives out Alaska grade and high school teachers the income and security appropriate to the civic and social significance their calling. ar- na was salmon pack, trap caught fish and fish traps. Fish Tax Desirable “The fish trap tax contained for the first time in the history of the| Territory, the desirable, progressive | or chain-store feature which I urg- cd at the regular session. Previous- ly opposition to such a progres- sive tax has been sufficient to! eat any form of it. The new tax increases the present $200 trap trap up to three, by $200 on all| _ traps under one ownership between " four and ten, and by $300 on all| |traps above ten. This, to fish lmpi cpponents, may seem like a modest tax, but I think it establishes vital principle and constitutes an| important step toward securing in- monopolistic privileges. | “Of the forty bills passed, others were less important, but the isted generally of measures !plug loopholes, to improve exl.\ungl legislation, and to remedy defects| that experience had brought to {light. ! “Considering that the Extraordi-, Session lasted only 30 days, its achievement will in my judg- ment, rank as high as that of any, legislature in Alaskan history. For| this accomplishment, the members of the Legislature and the people of Alaska are to be warmly con- gratulated. | ERNEST GRUENING, Governor of Alaska.” PNA FLIES FIFTEEN ON WESTWARD TRIP A totdl of 15 passengers were flown on the Anchorage-Juneau run yesterday by Pacific Northern Airlines coastliner with Captain Joe Morris, First Officer Ed Bow- man, and Stewardess June Rees Arriving here {rom Anchorage were: Jessie Munson, Martin Cra- mer, Mike Velarde, Al Wright, Mil- dred Davis and Joseph Johnson.
