Ickes The map showed a major portion of the useful land and water areas under claims which have not vet been disposed of. Obviously, until this question is cleared up there is little that can be done about the development of any part of Alaska. This has been recognized by Secretary of the Interior Julius Krug, who recently made statement calling for the earliest possible settlement of such claims by the courts. This is a matter which no doubt will be brought more forcibly to Mr. Krug's when he visits Alaska in several weeks. This is a matter whicht has been hanging over the heads of Alaskans since 1944 when three hearings were conducted by the Interior Department in Alaska on three of a large number of petitions claiming land and water areas under aboriginal rights. The examiner for these hearings issued a report the claims on the basis that such claims generally had been extinguished by abandonment on the part of the Indians. However, Mr. Ickes later appealed the decision to himself and practically reversed the a attention or | pstablished by Mr. Ickes under the \"l\"(‘l!'l-I{(J'.\'ill"l‘ D e CHANGES MADE IN Taken by itself, the pledge made by Representative | Harold Knutson of Minnesota, that income taxes | 5 per cent in 1947 if the people thi. and House of R would be cut fall elected a Republican Senate resentatives, sounds demagogic ise was conditional. He said that t reduced if the Federal budget were ished 50 per cent and his assumption was that only a Republican Con- gress would do the slashing Under the conditior fixed—a 50 per cent reduction in Federal spendir the Democrats could promise tax reduction just readily. It has been held in Washington that the way to win popularity with the voters is to be for all appro- ways been priations and against all taxes. That has | oversimplified. Voters taxpayers too and tax: payers in greater number than ever If a sharp re- duction in Federal spending can reduce the amount of money that Uncle m takes out of the pay envelope. then those who get pay envelopes are likely to favor the reduction in Federal spending. If it comes down to a question of who can spend the money that John Brown earns to best advantage—Brown or Uncle Sam— But Knutson's prom- | could be thus COMMITTEES ON AFFAIRS IN ALASKA | The bill reorgan Congress | which passed the House of Repre- sentatives recently after prior ap- proval by the Senate makes funda- I mental changes in the conduct of congressional business.
