Voters will have before them
a ballot containing over a hun
ciYcd names from which to select
men to fill offices vacant for a
number of causes.
It is an opportunity to replace
men who, in many cases, have
shown they have ‘‘axes to grind”
also to put in men who really
have the interests of Alaska at
heart in this time of rehabilita
tion of the domestc economiy
which comes after a period of
war.
We need men who are stern
in business matters but with an
understanding of what taxpayers
can do and may expect so far
as the assessments are made,
We want no more fiascos such
as made the Territorial Legislature
a laughmg stock for the 48 states
and their territories in 1947.
Taxpayers expect an even
assessment and a greater economy

(51—An increase in the number

Territorial wealth,
j (61—Abatement of certain tax
! measures now in force such as
a sales tax which places a burden
on both the merchant and the
j territory for its collection.
| There are many other methods
which have to do with lowering
the tax burden and with destri
buting the same in a more even
I manner over the whole taxable
! property of the territory.
These men who have filed for
public office, and whos names
