SPECIAL TAX RELIEF for Al
askans has finally reached offi
cial circles. Last week Congress
man Cecil R. King, (D) of Calif
ornia stated that he will present
to the House Ways and Means
Committee proposals submitted
by a number of Alaska residents
seeking special tax relief for the
Territory.
The Californian’s decision was
reached after several conferenc
es with Delegate Bartlett, who
has urged consideration of the
proposal by the Committee
which handles tax matters.
King agreed with Bartlett
that “consideration along" the
lines given Puerto Rico would
stimulate the flow of investment
capital to our northern territory.
Generally speaking, income de
rived within Puerto Rico is not
subject to federal income tax
and there are other aids granted
by federal tax law which by
some are held to be primarily
responsible for industrial ad
vances made in the island terri
tory.’’
The feeling in Alaska for fed
eral tax relief has gained in
creased momentum in recent
months and in some areas over

shadows the statehood move
ment. Congressman King, a
ranking minority member of the
committee, points out, however,
that there is a difference of opin
ion among lawyers as to whether
Congress can grant tax conces
sions to Alaska, it being an in
corporated territory. Puerto Rico
is an unincorporated territory.
He believes this is a constitu
tional question which would
have to be settled in the courts.
A real argument can be made,
King states, that the wage earn
er in Alaska is thrown into a
higher tax bracket because he
lives in a region where cost of
living is substantially higher
than in the States and he is
compelled to pay a much higher
federal tax than a comparable
worker in any one of the States
although his wage may buy him
less, or no more, of the necessi
ties of life. *
With the rapidly increasing
population in Alaska, all com
ing from Stateside homes, the
demand for tax relief will be
heard more often and voiced
more loudly. Statehood advo
cates fear that such relief on
the part of Congress would
prove a serious setback to the
support of statehood within the
Territory. The prospect of re
duced federal income tax looks
pretly good to the wage earning
resident and would be an added
incentive for settlement and de
velopment of Alaska as a pre
lude to statehood.
Bona Fide residents of Puerto
Rico, with 12 month residence,
who are employed by private
employers are exempt from all
federal income tax, excepting
employees of the U.S. federal
government; the latter group is
required to pay the usual income
tax.

SONG IN MY BONES
I think—when Fate has gotten
round
To put me six feet under
ground—
I'll up and leave my earthy bed
The first wild day that blows
o’er head.
And if this flesh that’s no so
fair
Has sunk in dust, I shall not
care,
For on my bones wild storm
wind's hand
Will play wild music deep and
grand.
My skull will echo like a drum;
My ribs a harp strings vibrant
hum;
From thigh to toe, the trumpet’s
moan;
My vertebrae a saxophone.
My hands like violins will play
When I arise, that rain-swept
day.
And if you should be about
To hear my music ringing out . .
Remember what I now have
said:
The first wild day, I’ll quit my
bed.
—Maryellen White
QUANDRY
Don’t dream of me
For I'm not true,
I love another,
As much as you.
My first love
I keep apart
Deep and faithful
In my heart,
Calm, serene,
Life's counterpart.
My love for you
Makes every day
Bright with laughter,
Singing, gay.—
1 can not send
Such love away.
Tho I wait
I’m sure I knew,
That both my loves
Would be like you.
—Virginia Fyles

CATHOLIC LADIES WORK
HARD ON PLANS FOR
ST. PATRICK'S DAY PARTY
Saint Patrick’s Day festivities
kept the meeting bubbling when
14 members of the Catholic
Women’s Club met last Monday
at the home of Mrs. Ginger Gay.
Committee reports and further
suggestions and plans all paint
an evening of exceptional en
tertainment for the public. “Al
aska’s favorite game” will be
the main event, with prizes of
unusual value and desirability.
A few of these, an automatic
toaster, fine steel tool set, color
ful luncheon dishes, are on dis
play in Werner’s Furniture Store
window, where the beautiful
bedspread made by Mrs. Carrie
Kielcheski may also be seen.
Special entertainment is being
planned for intermission time.
Tentative plans are laid for a
violin and cello duet by Mr.
and Mrs. Claude Berg, with Mrs.
Beryl Wagner accompanying.
A vocal trio and other attrac
tions are planned, as well.
Children will find movies
shown especially for them in the
Civic Center basement. Other
surprises for the children are
planned. Only those children
whose parents are attending the
main events will be admitted.
Special posters advertising
this annual Saiint Patrick’s Day
event have been prepared and
placed about town by Marian
Southard. Plans for decorations
are complete and the public is
assured of a gala and satisfying
good time.
Other business discussed at
the meeting was a filing cabinet
for parish papers and the month
ly bake sale to be held Saturday,
March 6, at Werner’s Market.
Donating ladies wishing pickup
service may call Adams 29.
