a factor slowing the flow of in

Skipper Nels Farstad this past
week arrived back in Kodiak wa
ters with his 65-foot, schooner-type
vessel Brisk, which fished halibut
this summer but will now be en
gaged in king crab fishing for
King Crab, Inc. Also Skipper Wal
ter Erickson has his Popeye up on
the ways for recaulking and re
pairs to minor storm damage suf
fered near Old Harbor. And Del
Valley has his piledriving crew
busy re-driving piling on the King
Crab, Inc., dock.
“We are operating several days
a week ... we don’t have too much
gear in the water at present and
weather is also a factor, Emil Nor
ton, Superintendent of Alaska King
Crab tells us. “Many are sorta
standing by until this price matter
is decided,” he added.
&
Skipper Milton Pagano of the
Sue is already pulling his gear out
of the water. “I’ve got my eye on
the price negotiations of course
. . . but also I have work to do on
the boat and gear . . . besides I
haven’t had a vacation for nearly
three years anyway,” Milt said.

The only thing we could find to
criticize the President about in his
actions this past week was our feel
ing that he did not go far enough.
The Russian vessels off our is
land’s coast are as grave a menace
as the ships going to Cuba. The
blockade should be extended 10
the entire North Pacific waters
around Alaska . . . particularly the
Gulf of Alaska and Bering Sea.
The ships of any foreign nation
should be forbidden to operate
... for any purpose whatever . . .
in our waters without our express
permission. If our government can
inspect, seize, or sink any vessel
in the high seas off our nation’s
southern coast, it most certainly
can and should do the same thing
up here. Both the security of the
nation and the economic welfare
of fellow Americans are directly
at stake here ... as well as in the
Caribbean.

How Has Egan Leadership
Helped Alaska Meet Its Obligations
Regarding
g tvernmuit
During These First
Years of Statehood?
HEALTHY FINANCIAL CONDITION. Since
Statehood Alaska has assumed millions of dollars
in new responsibilities — roads, mental health,
fisheries rehabilitation — to name a few. Despite
these new costs, on June 30, 1962, Alaska had a
general fund balance, available for future use,
of $24,371,457. Every budget since Statehood has
been in balance.
LOWEST GOVERNMENTAL COSTS. Government
costs tne individual Alaskan less than the resident
of any other state. According to the United States
Department of Commerce. Alaskans pay the low
est state and local tax rate per $1,000 of income
in the nation.
STRONG EXECUTIVE BUDGET. Each depart
ment of State government must submit its spend
ing proposals to the Governor’s Budget Review
Committee and to the Governor before such re
quests go to the Legislature. More than $2f).
000.000 was deleted from departmental requests
in 1961 alone before the budget reached the Sen
ate and House Finance Committees — a far rrv
from the uncoordinated, wasteful procedures fol
lowed as a territory.
HONEST BUDGETS. Annual budgets now show
the full cost of government. All revenues go into
the general fund and are subiect to appropriation
by the Legislature. No longer are certain pro
grams sidetracked into budget obscurity, therebrr
creating a misleading impression of government
cost.
OPEN GOVERNMENT. Meetings of boards and
commissions, by law, are open to the public.
Uniform procedures have been established to
protect the public from arbitrary and unpubli
cized rules and regulations. . . -
