Ideas Wanted for
Nome’s Own Animal Event
Local businessmen have decided they want an
annual week to celebrate the founding of Nome com
bined with other festival features which can become
a yearly event.
For many of the early years this was planned
around the Sweepstake races, which have become
a part of Nome’s historically colorful past. Later, the
Northwestern Fair Association was formed, which
combined dog racing, reindeer racing with progress
and incentive to the home-maker, schools and hobby
ists with departments in the fair.
Fairbanks has its Golden Days, Juneau its Salmon
Derby, Anchorage the Fur Rendezvous, Palmer the
Matanuska Valley Fair, etc.
Ernie Bohrer is chairman of the Chamber of Com
merce committee which is working on ideas which
have been suggested to make Nome’s annual event
outstanding and interesting ,to all. Anyone having ideas
may contact him or write to the Chamber of Commerce.
The public is also asked to express ideas on the most
appropriate time for the big event.
VOICES FROM THE GRASS ROOTS
Voices from the grass roots are listened to with
respect and interest in Congress.
During the first three months of this year, The
American Press reports, editorials and articles from
69 weekly semi-weekly newspapers were quoted
in the Congressional Record. Papers from 28 states
were thus represented. The quotations covered a great
gamut of topics and problems—racial integration, the
future of solar energy, flood control, the farm situation,
government spending, foreign policy, and so on.

Harriman Camp Blasts
Stevenson and His
Policy of Moderation
Adlai Stevenson came in for
his share of political brickbats
over the weekend.
Mrs. India Edwards, co-director
of the Harriman for President Or
ganization, said Stevenson is a
“me too” candidate who can't
beat Eisenhower. “If the Ameri
can people want moderation they
will re-elect Eisenhower,” she
added.
Mrs. Edwards said most of the
nation’s voters would support a
"fighting liberal” like Gov. Aver
ell Harriman of New York.
Harriman, in a speech at Wheel
ing, W. Va., took another dig at
the “moderation" theme of Stev
enson. He said Democrats “cannot
win” by being moderate on ad
ministration practices in the fields
of foreign policy, failure to revise
the Taft-Hartley Act, and what
he called a trend toward monop
oly in business.
GOP National Chairman Leon
ard Hall called Stevenson a can
didate “of the ADA wing of the
Democratic Party” who has only
“recently become a moderate."
ADA (Americans for Democratic
ADA) supports the principles of
the Roosevelt and Truman Ad
ministrations.
Bottles Set Adrift
In Effort to Find How
Sewage Gets to Beaches
NEW YORK, UP—The health
department set 100 flag-marked
pop bottles adrift today in hope
of finding how tides and currents
carry sewage to city beaches.
The department hopes swim
mers, fishermen, yachtsmen and
others will retrieve the sealed
bottles. Each contains a stamped
postcard addressed to the depart
ment. The finder is asked to jot
down the date, time and place
where he saw the bottle. The
Coast Guard will drop the bottles
in offshore areas.

Revenue Service Says It Is Not
'Cracking Down’ on Fairbanks
SEATTLE \lfi—William E. Frank,
district director for the Internal
Revenue Service, says it is not
"cracking down” on residents of
Fairbanks.
The Fairbanks Daily News
Miner charged recently that reve
nue agents have seized bank ac
counts without warning or notice.
Frank said Saturday: “It's not
so. We’re not mad at ‘Alaska.'’
“We’re not conducting any re
prisals. Our enforcement in Fair
banks and Alaska is the same as
in the State of Washington.
“If any Alaskan or anyone else
thinks he has a legitimate com
plaint against the Internal Reve
nue Service I’ll be glad to receive
a personal letter. I will investi
gate the complaints myself and
make any correction necessary.”
Frank said collection activities
of Max Pierce, Fairbanks collec
tion officer for 2Vfc years, are
clearly defined by statutory rules.
He declared:
“Pierce is following the rules.
I was up there in May and I
looked over his work. Pierce is
not being unfair to anybody. He’s
a nice guy.”
Mrs. A. E. Ellington of Fair
banks complained to the Post
Intelligencer that two weeks after
she made her final $138 payment
on her income tax, the govern
ment on July 17 took an addition
al $138 from her checking ac
count. When she demanded a re
fund she was told she must se
cure it through the Tacoma office.
Frank said the service by law
must follow a carefully outlined
procedure in collecting.
It it is determined thru legal
process that a taxpayer owes
money or if he agrees he owed
money, he first receives a bill. If
he does not reply, a notice is is
sued to the collection officer, who
is told to collect.
The collector then goes to the
taxpayer. If the taxpayer says he
can’t pay, the officer must ask
for a financial statement signed
under oath. At this point, most
persons pay. If not, the collection
officer can demand payment, if
the person has enough assets.
The officer has the power to
seize sums in a bank, seize and
sell real property or arrange to
take a reasonable amount out of
each paycheck the taxpayer gets
until the tax is paid.
