Its getting so a person can’t take
3 bath nowadays without a tax col
lector peeking around the shower
curtain or up the drain, and with
a hand out and saying “give.”
The new sales tax ordinance stipu
lates as collectable “services from
bathhouses.” As if afraid you may
lake a bath only twice a year, and
there won’t be enough revenue,
the tax is also applicable on “water
i supply services.”

The Sales Tax will be levied for
a lifetime, if you are around long
enough. It exacts payment from
the doctor “for services rendered,”
when he brings a child into this
world, for the food it eats as it
grows up, and from the undertaker
“for services rendered,” when you
throw off this mortal mantle. Its
a consumer’s sales tax, but who
ever heard of consuming “ser
vices.”
Truman Emberg of Bristol Bay
wrote a letter of protest when he
learned the Post Office Depart
ment was issuing a stamp to com- ,
memorate the conservation move- j
ment in the United States. He pro- j
tested because the stamp will bear j
a picture of a Pacific salmon. He
said, “Our Alaskan salmon fish
eries have not been conserved.
They have been brought instead to
the brink of ruin. The Federal
government is responsible ... I,
for one, say we should boycott
this effort of the Service (FWS)
to use the Postal Department as
its advertising agency."
* * * « *
Sundberg, in the Juneau Inde
pendent, makes this comment, di
rected to Emberg, “On the other
hand, Truman, wouldn’t it be nice
to have one of the stamps around
so we can show our kids in a few
years what a salmon used to look
like?”

The consumer may one day be
able to buy Prime beef without |
having to pay for unwanted fat. j
We have this on the word of a
staff member of the University of
Alaska Agriculture Extension Ser
vice. Modern livestock breeding
and feeding programs and modern
cookery methods may make it pos
sible to have tender, flavorful
meat with less fat.

Angling Goes to College. It’s
not beyond the realm of possibili
ty that some time college students
will be able to major in hunting
and fishing, according to the
Sporting Goods Dealer, a business
magazine. The magazine reports
that the American Association for
Health, Physical Education and
Recreation, whose membership in
cludes 22,500 sports and coaching
supervisors, is promoting a great
national campaign to get more
schools and colleges to offer regu
lar class training in angling and
shooting. Learning to fish offers
many possiblities.

For the ocean fishing student,
class room apparel would no doubt
be a pair of fins and aqua lung j
gear and the class room would be j
the ocean depth. Instead of being
the “sucker” on the rod end of
fishing gear, you would attend
class underwater—hasn’t it been
said that fish travel in “schools?”
That’s how they get so smart, I
sometimes believe, as I sit in the
boat waiting for the big tug and
nothing happens. Or when one of
the particularly brilliant finny stu
dent, continually keeps taking the 1
bait off the hook without getting 1
caught.

You Were There. The land hear- 1
ing the other night brought to :
mind several episodes in past his- <
tory, notably the land grabbing in
Oklahoma. There won‘t, of course, :
be the stampede for land as record- ,
ed in that state’s history, but the
eternal urge in the human beast to
jwn a piece of land was apparent.
It looked for a while as if there
vas going to be the re-enactment
>f an old-time western in which
he land barons sought to drive

iVe have faint recollections of just
