Russian Planes to Land On Alaskan Base ALASKA a disfrom the 49th State turbing report is in the Anchorage Daily Times. A most dangerous development is taking place. Remember we were all sold on the idea of admitting Alaska to the Union, on the basis that we had to have Alaska as a member state because Alaska was and is an important bastian against the Russians, an important defense against the Russians over the North Pole flights which could result in bombings of Chicago, Milwaukee, South Bend, and other cities along the Great Lakes. Now the Daily Times of Anchorage reports that the State Department has made an agreement to let our military bases be used as a landing place for a Soviet Air Line. The Elmendorf Air Force Base has been suggested by the Russians as the place where they wish to refuel as they fly toward the United States in their iet airliners, the TU ANCHORAGE, Republicanism Dead, Say 58 distinguishes the cattlemens major resolutions this year were that the cattlemen were not asking the government to give them something; they were asking the government to get out of the way, to stop its harrassing practices and unfair discrimination. What Returns The overwhelming returns of the 1958 elections indicate, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that there is no longer a Republican party with its me too modem liberalism. The Republican party has been under the domination of the liberals since at least 1952. Since that time, a weariness has overtaken the vital initiative once so well known in the Republican party. This has come about because the Rethe publican party tried to out-deNew Deal Democratic party to such an extent that the policies of both parties are now indistinguishable. The voters showed their rank disgust for some of these modern Republicans by roundly defeating them at the polls last November.

No other thought han this could have been behind such resolutions as: The Congressional spending be cept within the limits of the budget; That Congress face up to the act that we have already gone a long way toward ruinous inflation; That labor unions be subjected to controls similar to those which apply to corporations. 104.

The spectre of individualism and iron resolve to find the solution of ones own problems, to not rely on outside help, to not ask for nor accept charity. This spectre has invested the cattlemen of today. Resolutions adapted by almost all associations are of the nature that call upon the government to do something or other, a kind of special favoritism, to bo be granted to their group. A big irrigation project, known as the San Luis Project, is pending in Central California, Canals and pipes will transfer large quanties of irrigation water to a distant reg- Balance Budget Say Bridges,.

San Luis Project Can Waste Up To Ten Million project. And as is to be expected one group of people, including some members of Congress, want the Federal government to build a series of transmission lines to move the power to market. As proposed, these lines, along with other necessary items, would cost $14 million. And about $10 million of that expenditure , of the taxpayers money would be totally unnecessary because it would go for facilities which would duplicate the existing ones of a private utility company. The company has, therefore, offered to deliver the power on its system, and adds that this can be done at a lower cost than if government lines were built. Here is a case where $10 million can be saved and, at the same time, users of the power would be given the best of service at the lowest cost. All that remains to be seen is whether Congress amends the San Luis Project authorization bills so that this is done or whether it will consent to throwing money away on a totally useless and needless duplicate system.
