For instance, Walter E. Mitchell, Vice-President and Manager of the Alaska Department of the Na- tional Bank of Commerce in Seattle, has returned south from &n extensive two-month tour through the Territory and he reports prospects for a sound and increasingly rapid development of Alaska appears brighter now than ever before. He traveled more than 6,000 miles and visited major settlements in all sections of this Territory “Current projects and proposed government ex- penditures that seem certain,” said Mitchell, “should provide the foundation for a healthy, stabilized eco- nomy for Alaska. All this will open new fields for settlement, business, and tourist trade.” He cautioned, however, that no one should plan | to move to Alaska now unless he knows what he is going to and has a job and a place to stay Mitchell was impressed by the proposed develop- ments of civilian as well as military activities. Some of the non-military work already is under way, with many sizeable contracts expected to be let improvement of the Alaska Railroad, highw: , civilian air fields, public and government facilities, and com- murtication services. Funds for many of these activities were provided by Congress in June The proposed private development of large pulp mills has aroused much enthusiasm in Southeast Alaska, said Mitchell. Timber resources for making pulp are sufficient for many years of large scale operations there. A growing population is encouraging for de- velopment to the west and in the interior, he concluded ACTION IN LOUISIANA Earl K.

The Louisiana lawmakers have just adopted a whole new list of measures Wwith rubber-stamp alacrity. New taxes just approved by the legislature are going to cost the people of Louisiana $70,000,000 a year, which is huge additional tax load for ate of the character and size of Louisiana Here are of the new revenue measures levied by the ~ouisiana Legislature—all of them ap- proved by margins of not less than 7 to 1: revenue a a some Sales increased from 1 to 2 per cent, also applying to many formerly untaxed services. Beer tax raised from $1.50 to $10 a barrel—a hike of about 2 cents a bottle. Gasoline tax raised from seven to cents gallon, making it the highest in the country. Additicnal taxes on oilgtimber and other natural resources. Besides these, which already have been enacted, Long is about to instruct his legislature to boost cigarette taxes from five to eight cents a paekage Well should have tax nine a the people of Louisiana knew—or certainly known—what they were letting them- | paign promises and it's their business. We're glad, | however, there isn’t any rash promising being done in Alaska | Alaskan Defenses (Fairbanks News-Miner) | General J. Lawton Collins, Army Deputy Chief of | Staff, made several pertinent observations and dis- | closures during a weekend inspection of Ladd Alr| | Force base. | | Chief among them was the first official word | that the new peacetime draft law is expected to pro- | vide ground troops in large numbers for the Alaskan defenses. A portion of the young men drafted in the | United States for 21 months’ service will be sent to { Alaska for training and tours of duty. | It has already been announced that men inducted in the Territory will be trained here and assigned to |regular units in the Alaska command. The result will be military manpower in Alaska | such as has not been seen since the end of the war | General Collins, former Commander of the famed United States VII Corps in Eurove, was accompanied here by Gordon Gray, Assistant Secretary of Defense for the Army. Both officlais minimized the possibilities of im- | mediate danger to Alaska in the pbresent strained rela- | tions between the United States and Soviet Russia But they agreed the Territory will assume a position | of vast strategic importance, in the event of hosilities, | while becoming vulnerable defensively They said Congressional approval of the nation’s second peacetime conscription law and the appro- priation of funds for Army, Air Force and Navy hous- ling in Alaska are the two prime factors which will | enable the Territory’s defenses to be strengthened. Even had troops been available in sufficient num. bers to man Alaskan defenses in the past, Gen. Collins noted, there was no shelter to accommodate them. There is still doubt that the construction program can be resumed in time to make substantial progress | in the waning weeks of Alaska’s brief building season. | Much will depend upon how swiftly the contractual ‘um-ccments can be completed. | These circumstances being the case, it becomes creasingly difficult to understand why the two mea |ures—the draft and the military building appropria: | tion—were among the last of the major bills acted upon by Congress.
