Alaska’s economic development has always been closely associated with Seattle and the relationship has been mutually advantageous. Seattle's have been a dependable source of supply merchants; her shippers have provided regular, sched- uled service (often at a loss), and her banks have financed innuinerable Alaska business ventures. Alaska owes much to her good neighbor and we take pleasure in extending our heartiest good wishe on her hundredth anniversary. ocial Security (Seattle Post-Intelliger) Canada has adopted an old-age security program which in almost every is superior to ours Under the American federal old-age pen- sions are financed by payroll taxes, partly deductec from wages and salaries.

Just one hundred years aga this weck, Seattle’s founding fathers landed at Alki Point and set about the difficult task of establishing a community in the wilderness. That winter, 1851, was a cold and stormy one and the pioneers suffered unusual hardship. Their scant supplies were soon austed and they were forced to live on fish and game, without bread, salt, vegetables or fruit. But they persevered and, before long, had erected a church and a school. The tiny settlement prospered and grew. In 18 coal was discovered near what is now Renton, but it was more than fifteen years before rail transportation could be built to serve the mines. Seattle constructed its own railroad to Renton, but battled another seventeen years for a rail connection with Tacoma. In 1889, fire destroyed the entire business district and Seattle was faced with the job of rcbuildmg——l from scratch. Once again, the city raised itself by | the bootstraps to become the leading city of the North- | west. The Great Northern Railway came to the city‘ and Seattle shortly became a major transpacific port. | Moreover, the American plan is basically de- fective. It ignores the principle that. if old-age insurance is a governmental obligation, then it is due equally to all citizens, and the costs should be borne by the government directly out of its ral revenues. H Besides correcting social injustices, acceptance of the principle would eliminate a major deficiency in our system which ually a swindle. Our social-securi called a “trust fund” but are actually spent by the Treasury as cur- rent income. The “social security which must someday be re And obviously, the federal alter this condition by becoming private industry, like insur companies, soon owning all the industries and socializing nation. 1‘ The Canadian plan avoids these faults by simply adhering to the basic principle described. | With some minor safeguards, its benefits will be payable, beginning next year, to every person reaching the pension age, without regard to previous employment or nonemployment. ! The only qualification required is old age. Canada even meets the argument that some old folk are more needy than others.

Ike’s name has been entered on both the GOP and Demo tickets, which makes Oregon the most significant test of political strength in the country —namely, Eisenhower vs. Taft and Eisenhower vs. Truman. Inside Washington Dictator Franco may be scratching the bar- rel back in Spain, but he seems to have plenty of dough to spend on lobbying in Washington Chief Franco lobbyist Charles Patrick Clark sometimes passes out $20 tips to Mayflower Hotel waiters when ordering sandwiches and coffee. . . Down in Texas, they are not feeling | so lush. The City of Houston has been struggling for some months to raise $8,510.55 to pay its enter- tainment bill for Douglas MacAr- thur. Glenn McCarthy, the Houston hotel owner, is even putting the bite on San Antonio, Ft. Worth and Austin to help out, while in Athens, Texas, (noted for peaches, peas, potatoes, peanuts, pigs, pot- tery, petroleum and phiddling) the folks auctioned off one can of blackeyed peas to help Glenn Mc- Carthy. The can sold for $1.93. . Chief expense of the MacArthur trip was a special airplane rented from Eastern Airlines. . .Taft forces don’t seem one bit impoverished. They have retained Julius Klein, who fin- essed the rank of Brigadier General in the army and the presidency of the Jewish war veterans, into a luc- rative public relations business. Klein, also retained by Pan Ameri- can Airways, has been headline- hunting for Taft. Cuban Thanksgiving—Four day before our Thanksgiving, the people of Cuba, for the first time in their history, will celebrate their own ‘Thanksgiving Day on November 18. . .While Cuba does not have over three hundred years of tradi- tion behind their celebration as do we, the basic idea of Thanksgiving Day should not be limited to any one country. For the Pilzrim Fathers established Thanksgiving Day to thank God for helping them sur- vive a difficult year in a free world .The Cuban people share our Democratic birthright, and it is an important step toward the univer sality of Thanksgiving that should wish to count their bless- ings of free thought and free speech on a, day set aside for this specific | purpose. So this year they start a tradition that should live for- ever with the freedom-loving people of the Republic of Cuba Louis B. Mayer's taxes—Every s0 often angmendment sneaks into a tax bill aimed at benefiting or hitting one individual American. One was the “Marshall Field Amend.- ment,” tucked into the tax bill during the war to prevent Marshall Field from taking tax losses on the .1tegrated with public power. they | Chicago Sun. Reactionary Cong- ressmen didn't like Field’s liberal newspaper, hit back with a ta amendment banning deductible 1 es of more than $50,000 for fiv straight years. . .First man to get ihit by this was not Field, a Demo- |crat, but the former Republican | National Committeeman from Cal- ifornia, movie mogul Louis B. Mayer. His racing stable was in the red by more than $50,000 and he got hit with a big tax bill. . .Now {it looks as if Louis B. Mayer has staged a comeback with a tax am- endment all his own. Latest tax bill permits a capital gains tax for in- come when a former employee sells his right to future profits to his former employer. This fits Mayer, now retiring from MGM, right down to the button. The tax bill even provides that the retiring employee must have worked for his company twenty years, with profit rights for 12 years, and be entitled to profit right for five years after retirement. | Few people outside of Louis B. Mayer, fit this picture. . .(Mayer’s tax lawyer in the past has been as- tute Ellsworth Alvord, close friend of Senator George of Georgia, who largely writes the tax bill) Kansas-Missouri Floods The Trumanites have thrown up their hands once more regarding Missouri Valley Authority flood control in- JIn- stead, Democratic leaders will en- deavor to get a compromise through the next session of Congress, calling for a limited system of flood control dams and some power development in the Kansas River basin. This is a piecemeal plan recommended by army engineers who want to get the money out of Congress in driblets. The tragic losses caused by the Missouri-Kansas floods last sum- mer could have been used to pass -qn over-all flood control-power Iplan for the Missouri Valley, but Secretary of the Interior Oscar {Chapman didn't have the courage to get out and lead.
