LA ir OFF ALASKAN SALES TAX
According to a statement of Governor Parks, a sales
tax has been proposed from some quarters as a means of
balancing the budget, the latest craze of “experts.”
It i' proposed by the Budget committee, consisting
of the Board of Control, that the budget be balanced by
retrenchment in expenditures. This is as it should be.
It was recently pointed out by Harry Elmer Bames
in the New York World-Telegram that the great major
ity of manufactured goods and agricultural products,
including those on which a sales tax could be levied, are
purchased by families with incomes under $3,000, about
three-fifth0 of the families with incomes under $2,000
and on°-fifth by families with incomes under $1,000.
Families with incomes of $3,000 and less paid 75 per
cent of the total amount spent for consumers’ goods and
sendees, but had only 30 per cent of the total national
savings. Families with incomes over $3,000 paid only 27
per con4 the total savings.
In 1929, 28,000,000 families with incomes under $3,000
spent $65,143,000,000 end saved $3,746,000,000—less than
one-sixtceirh of v. hat they spent. The 513 persons with
incomes cf over $1,000,000 spent $87,000,000 and saved
$1,045,000- 12 times as much as they spent and nearly
one-third as much as was saved by 28,000,000 families.
Forget yn A’askon sales tax, legislators.
After Japan has booted China all over the Manchur
ian lot, a Chinese general arises to state that “some day
that fe'ilov/’s goim- too far and I’m going to get mad!”
Maybe the Japanese invasion of Jehol is merely an j
effort to discover if the laundryman who burned the Em
peror’s shirt, is hiding there.
If China lias no other weapon left it might try play-!
ing jazz in a Chinese band.
Having stripped the Chinese of everything else, the
Japanese have new issued a demand for the donation of
the honorable breeks.

LARGE DISTRICT IN
ALASKA PENINSULA AREA
Alaska fisheries regulations for
the season of 1933, issued late last
year and made public here early
in January, open approximately
200 miles additional of shore
line on the Alaska Peninsula.
This modification of the regula
tions of former years escaped un
noticed in earlier reviews. It is
considered important to resident
fishermen as wTell as to canners
of the region.
Section 17 of the current regula
tions, 19th edition, provides a
modification of Section 18 of the
1932 regulations and permits com
mercial fishing with beach seines
and gill nets in Territorial waters
and coastal waters between Cape
Moss on the west and Castle Cape
on the east. This opens approxi
mately 200 miles of new grounds
to the mainland coast, exclusive
of several islands embraced in the
same district.
However, some of the area is
closed under the usual prohibition
against fishing at the mouths of
salmon spawning streams.
It 1s believed that the canners j
will have an opportunity, under1
the change, to take a larger num
ber of red salmon migrating to
ward the famous Chignik area.
Sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 define
’the dimensions of beach seines
and gill nets that may be used
within the boundaries of the Alas
ka Peninsula district.
Up to the time of going to press
today’s passenger List from Seat
tle had failed to arrive.
C. H. Flory, Alaska commission
er for the department of agricul
ture, who has been ill in Seattle,
has recovered and gone to Wash
ington where he is expected to re
main until after the change of ad
ministration.

to a ripe old age—somewhere about
125 years, anyway.

SPECTACULAR TITLE
BASKETBALL CAME
DEPLOYED OFF ME
At last Seward sport-lovers will
have the opportunity this evening
of looking over the basketball
team everyone has been raving
about all season, the Anchorage
City “Pirates,” champions, thus
far, of Interior and Southwestern
Alaska.
They face Seward’s best, the City
squad, against whom the visitors
have already defeated once but
need one more victory to clinch
the title, fair and square, and
above board.
When we say rave, that’s exactly
the word. The “Pirates” are un
questionably the smoothest-work
ing aggregation ever developed in
any section of Alaska, oldtimers
aver. Each member of the team is
an individual star from school
days, thru high school and some,
college.
“Well, we've met their fire once,”
says Coach-player Roger Paul, “and j
we are confident wre are going to!
upset the “Pirates” ambitious!
climb for the All-Alaska champ
ionship title. We, also, are gazing
in that direction and now that we
have met the enemy, so to speak,
we are certain of winning tonite.”
The Anchorage “Pirates;” read
’em and weep!
Bob Carlson, center; Mott Liek,
forward; W. Niemi, forward; Chas.
Ruttan, guard; Larry Bayer,
guard; Malcolm McKinnon and
Don Winterberger, substitutes;
George Moran, manager.
Tonight’s game will start at 8
o’clock; there may be a prelimin
ary.
Roger Paul or Elbert Kunz will;
handle the big game.
* * * *
It was definitely decided late!
this afternoon that the Seward
City team will play Anchorage City
tonight and tomorrow afternoon
at 2 o’clock. There w?ill be no pre
liminary to either game.

Chas- Davis, flashy pivot man

momentuous point in life today;
