PUBLIC BUILDING PROGRAM
Gov. Parks emphasized the need
for a definite program for the con
struction of public institutions,
saving:
“Wo never have had a compre
hensive program to provide for fu
ture growth of our Territorial insti
tutions and to distribute the neces
sary capital expenditures over y,
period of vears. I feel we should
inaugurate a new policy which will
involve the determination ar d
adoption of a pmc-r^m of no tm
tion and expansion for perhaps the
next decade. Yon ore fetni’i»• v'.N
the limited financial resources .of
''he Territory and realize ho-.v im
possible it is for us to provide the
funds for the necessary new insti
tutions in a lump sum. We 'hon’d
not be satisfied to provide for tire
next tvo years alone. Tf we do ret
estimate the progress that will tn’:-'
place in Alaska, during the next 10
or 20 years and provide for it now
by appropriate Legislation we will
find that the Government is not
keeping pace with the advance of
our economic life.
“Some of our institutions are old
and inadequate and must socn be!
replaced. Some new ones are du
el ruble. in fact in a few years they
will be nee-, sary. Careful planning
and distribution of costs over a
period of years will meet these de
mand;-. I am convinced that our
*-evei:ue will enable 11s to provide
for all legitimate needs of this
character hut it will require the
most careful consideration and the
allowance of only those appropria
tions which arc es ential.”

|to be successful in conducting the
businc's of the Territory” on a
round economic basis only “if we
^follow' accented business methods.”
He contends that a reserve in th.
treasury is not only jusetifiable but
an actual necessity because “we do
not derive our taxes from a stable
property valuation but from a van?
able commodity production” the
Ructuation of which produces cor
responding ups and downs in Alas
ka’s revenues
AS TO TAXES
Commenting on taxation, lie
said: “The ideal and only justifica
Die system of taxation is based on
the theory that we shall derive just
sufficient revenue to meet the nec
e-sary costs cf our Government. If
we exceed this then taxation be
comes confiscation.” He then point
ed out that while the Federal Gov

"The fact that tee were not permitted to smoke from
the time the Qraf Zeppelin left Friedrichshafen until
we landed at Lakehurst only increased my appetite
for a Lucky Strike. Oh, how good that first one tasted!
I’m really keen for Lucky Strike—the toasted flavor
is delightful. 1 smoke a Lucky instead of eating sweets
—that’s what many men haste been doing for years.
I think it high time we women smoked Luckies and
kept our figures trim.”
Grace M. Hay Drummond Hay
The modern common sense way—reach for a
Lucky instead of a sweet. Everyone is doing
it men keep healthy and fit, women retain
a trim figure. Lucky Strike, the finest tobaccos,
skilfully blended, then toasted to develop a
flavor which is a delightful alternative for that
craving for fattening sweets.
Toasting frees Lucky Strike from impurities.
20,679 physicians recognize this when they say
Luckies are less irritating than other cigarettes.
That’s why folks say: “It’s good to smoke
Luckies.”
^ Authorities attribute the enormous
increase in Cigarette smoking to the
improvement in the process of Cigarette man
ufacture by the application of heat. It is true
that during 1928, Lucky Strike Cigarettes
showed a greater increase than all other Ciga
rettes combined. This surely confirms the
public’s confidence in the superiority of
Lucky Strike.
