TAXES BY THE BILLIONS
THE ISSUE between the Treasury and Congress
in regard to the new tax program is by no means
clear cut. Both sides are right and both sides
ere wrong. We never will get anywhere taking
one side or the other undiscriminated
The Treasury is right in contending that as
much as 10 billions in new tuxes should be raised
(or the double purpose of helping to finance the
war with a minimum of borrrowing and of help
ing to control inflation.
The Treasury is right in arguing that with na
tional income up $80,000,000,000 and taxes up only
$19,000,000,000, there is ample new money avail
able with which to finance a further $10,000,000,000
increase. The most elementary mathematics shows
that after meeting the proposed boost, w>e should
still have m excess of $50,000,000,000 more income,
above taxes, than formerly.
Yet Congress is right in insisting, that we can
not pay the additional $10,000,000,000 the Treasury
proposes We can't, that is if taxes continue to be
raised by the old -unscientific, ideological, class
ronscious nit-a.nd-miss methods.
Until both Treasury and Congress are driven
to cooperate in finding a Scientific, non-political
tax formula that recognizes the quasi-lrreconci
ability of all interlocking' problems, we won’t be
able to pay what the: Treasury asks even though
there is. in the aggregate, ample free income with

BIOLOGY CLASS ON CIVIC BETTERMENT
1 HURSDAY afternoon at one o'clbcK; in the As
fembly room m the Nome- 'Territorial School, the
students of the biology class'field a meeting; with
b number" of the citizens of ‘Nome as invited guests,
to discuss a topic'which is to the interest of every
nerson in fhe community. The topic 4isotV<4fei was:
“The Betterment of Nome, PhysicaBy Socially and
Economically ” ' — ’ '
Each student read a short sketch of the idea up
per most in his or her individual plan, bringing out
the point that Nome is a very fine place to live,
in spite of adverse conditions.
We have much excellent scenery, both in sum
j frier and in winter. Also many fine buildings and
1 institutions, commercial, city, territorial and fed
eral, but the main idea seemed to be that we also
have a certain number of unsightly features which
j more than offset the finer possibilities of our town.
The one factor which was brought out by
I nearly every one of the speakers was the ease with
which most of the ideas could be accomplished
The one need was cooperation. The ideas must be
sold to every person in the community—every man.
lyoman and child.
In other words, a campaign to clean up the
city, and keep it clean, is being proposed by our
young citizens.
There is as yet no boiled-down plan or system
if campaign, but they do have some very gopd
uggestions.
Each of us must start at home and clean ur
our own rubbish, and make our property present
able Also improve sanitary conditions.
The students feel that the problems facing us
today in Nome, on the home front, particularly
those pertaining to health and sanitation; second
ly. the beautifying of our town, can and will be
met by an army of willing and cooperative citi
zens.
One drawback seemed to be the possibility that
the project would not have the “teeth”, or rather
the authority, necessary to reasonably assure suc
cess. but that could be overcome by the acceptance
of responsibility by local health authorities and
citizens alike.
Through the eyes of our young citizens we are
looking at ourselves, viewing the evils of put-it
' offishness, conditions which we. the older citizens,
i have seen fit to consider as a matter of course,
and something which we must put up with out
of necessity.
We shall do well to take the advice in the
spirit given, and endeavor to get on the right track,
although success cannot be attained over night.
Rubbish and sewage should not be dumped on the
beach in front of the city. Sump holes within
the business and dwelling areas of the city should
be taken care of—in other words .filled in.
Many other suggestions, such as* painting, lev
elling and repairing of unsightly buildings should
be done.
Much more can and will be said on this sub
ject. as will be noted in other parts of this edition
j-.mder “School Nodes’’, as the students continue in
their attempt to encourage tneir parents, and other
citizens of Nome to cooperate in their plan for a
more beautiful and healthy city, in which to live.
.Remember, it is . their home,a place in which
['heir young, growing minds and bodies are tak
! ing shape.
Our citizen^ of tomorrow need a healthy start
today.
Oiir responsibility is now—let's take it!

WE FOLLOWED OUR HEARTS
TO HOLLYWOOD." by Emily
Kimbrough (Dodd. Mead. $2.50)
You remember “Our Hearts
Were Young and Gay,” which was
th? quaint story of a trip abroad,
undertaken some years back by
Cornelia Otis Skinner and her
friend Emily Kimbrough You
also may remember that this
book was a thumping success, that
it was bought for Hollywood, and
that its two authors were engaged
by Paramount to work on the mo
vie script. The information was
bruited about the Hollywood col
umns at considerable length.
Well, when the out out there
was done Miss Skinner was hired
for a part in another picture and
Miss Kimbrougn went home to.
her children, her poodles, and all
! the rest of her menage. She had
i nothing to do out keep house, so
she wrote the facts of her Holly
wood life down, and these have
added up to a book called "We
Followed Our Hearts to Holly
wood.” It’s a grand job, prooably
as funny as the trip abroad, and
strangely interesting for another
reason. The reason is it’s some
what glorified, but I suspect ac
curate, picture of what really
goes, out there.
When the innocents arrived in
Hollywood they faced a battery
of new$: cameras willingly, only
to find that the cameras were
awaiting Joe Louis, not 'Skinner
