This is especially true when both the pedestrian and the car are moving. The pedestrian may be taking for granted that the driver sees him, yet from the driver’'s line of vision he may be invisible all the while he is walking into the car’s path. The moral is plain. Wise walkers will take for all times that drivers CAN'T see them. anted at Debt Pattern Is Same (Ketchikan News) The pattern is the same from Washington, D. C,, to Juneau, Alaska. Nothing but debts! The President, according to press dispatches, ac- knowledged that he had overestimated tax revenues in his budget estimate and underestimated how much money he would spend. So he missed out by about four billion dollars on he wrong side of the ledger, a mistake that will be oassed on to taxpayers. Territorial Treasurer Roden shows that the Al- TAX ON BOATS EXPLAINED boat owners Several ve asked The Empire to give the low down on the new boat tax and here O and non-commercial boats do pay a 10-mill tax, to the city, or school district (or f not in either, to the Territory) not on a tonnage basis but on true and full value. ners of pleasure Owners of fishing and commercial boats may elect 10-mill tax (to city, school district, if not in either of them to the Territory) on either basis (minimum of $20, but avoiding ne- ing for true value) or a value bas to pay the a tonng y of asse: The > per ton is $4 on commercial boats of 5 tons and over. and fishing boats, merely 10 mills a The minimum tax on small commercial not $20 per boat but sessed on the true value of the however, aska fund is short $644,943.96 for meeting obligations. That, despite the many taxes which the Gruening ;ang imposed. One reason is that the Territory, hrough the Gruening controlled Legislature, created “Man is the only animal that prepares for the future,” says a biologist. Then what does a squirrel think he’s doing when he's storing up nuts—playing Chinese checkers? salaried boards and hordes of tax collectors postitions for his “favorites.” These, dlong with loosely drawn tax laws, many f them attacked through the courts, are hanging round the necks of taxpayers. And this same bunch of characters through its subsidized press already is shaping up with more double-tongued propaganda to alibi its mistakes and try and gain confidence for future elections. While the few hundred thousand dellars with which the Alaskans are soaked are peanuts compared with the billions passed on to the taxpayers by the Truman national government, the general pattern is the same. It is too bad that there isn’t some peach both the National and Territorial for deceiving the public and creating way to im- governments unnecessary b A boat worth $500 would pay $5 tax; one worth $1000, pays $10. Even boats of 5 tons and over may use true value (instead of tonnage) as a basis if the owner thus saves on taxes and still lists true value.

It is not clear how the Communists voted in the Senatos ial race. But the “Daily Worke fought Dulles and hailed his de- feat. The combined Democratic, So- cialist and Communist vote for Lehman should have been 1,936,047, which it was not. All these parties opposed Dulles. Actually, 2,577,193 votes were cast for mayor; 2,375, 331 for United States Senator. The missing 201,862 votes, cast for ma or but omitting the United St: Senator, will be variously interpret- ed. They probably represent the number of Communists who voted for Marcantonio and no one else. Some Democrats may not have vot- ed for either Lehman or Duiles. | The Republican Party in New | York State fell apart after Thomas E. Dewey's defeat in 1948. In Ne* York City, the Party, as an ¢ ganized apparatus, hardly ex: imade no attempt to run its lticket and resorted to fusion with! the Socialis! (Liberal Party) on local candidates while the Social- ists fought Dulles most vigorous! This added an element of the rid! culous to the campaign. The Socialists, however, did not produce any outstanding results. In a year when the Communists are| more unpopular than they have| ever been, when even a friendly | gesture to Soviet | Russia is ana-| thema, shortly after the end of| the trial of 11 Communists in Judge Medina’s Court, Vito Marcantonia, who no matter what he may say | about it, represents to the voters| jthe full Commu nist politigal strength, polled 356,423 votes, while the Socialists, as the Liberal Party, produced 372,281 votes. The differ: ence is 15,858 is too small to notice. | The Liberal Party then has pro- | duced no important results. How- ever, the combined Communist- | Socialist vote, 728,704, larger than the Republican vote, 571,071, issig- | nificantly indicative of left wing strength in this city.
