THE SHOW-OFF" NOW
 SHOWING, COLISEUM

When is a show-off not a show off? Answer; when he makes good!
 This, apparently, is the humor- ous moral to be drawn from Mall colm St.. Clair's rollicking comedy, The Show-Off," which made it's local bow at the Coliseum last night. There is an unaffected nat uralness about this celluloid version of George Kelly's famous play that stamps it as refreshingly different from the usual run of photoplays.
 The plot of The Show-Off" is a simple, straightforward affair, deal ing with an average American fam fly and developing the sort of comic, pathetic and dramatic incl dents that people experience in real life. Much of the pictures honey charm and wistful appeal is due to this very fact, that the situations and characters are so true to every day life.
 Interest in the story center about conceited, loud d-mouthed railroad clerk, who stirs up consid- erable trouble for himself and his wife's family with his boastful lies and unlimited nerve

they are not care.eSsly compiled statements written merely to com ply in a perfunctory manner with the letter of the law, but some of them have been in preparation ever since the last session of the Legis- lature and they contain sthe re- suits of careful consideration of the problems presented by the officers who, becuse of long association with their work, are in position to give expert advice on the subjects con- tained therein.
 "The last appropriation bill car ried certain items aggregating $6,450 to supplement the Federal appro- priations, including personal serv- ices at the Governors House, trav- cling expenses of the Governor, en- tertainment of representative of the United States and foreign na- tions, and repairs to the Executive Mansion. There is some doubt as to the validity of these items and they have not been expended. The justification for the appropriations is not material here but the reasons for questioning their validity are of the utmost importance in con- sidering future appropriation bills. It is contended that all items in a general appropriation bill are in valid unless they are made pur- suant to the authorization contain ed in specific law. In other words, an item in the general ap- propriation bill, to cover the rent for a building for example, is not valid unless there is a specific law authorizing someone to rent the property. Past appropriation bills have contained numerous i te In S which were subject to attack for the reason stated and the matter is submitted at this time so that we may avoid similar mistakes in our next appropriation bill.
 Chapter 60, Session Laws of 1925, provides that the Treasurer shall prepare and send to the Legislature a budget of the prob able revenues and expenditures for the ensuing biennium. This law should be made more effective and the budget officer, or preferably a budget board, should be given au-

COMEDY FEATURE IS.
 AT PALACE TOMORROW

A new comedy team, Lew Cody and Aileen Pringle, make their screen debut at the Palace tomor- row in Adam and Evil,' a Rob- ert 2. Leonard production for Met ro-Goldwyn-Mayer based on an original screen play by F. Hugh Herbert and Florence Ryerson. No better screen vehicle than this riot out feature comedy could have been selected for the initial appearance together of these two popular play CTS. Adam and Evil' is full of fast and furious fun, rendered doubly delectable by the accom- plished artistry of Lew Cody, and by Miss Pringle's great charm and talent.

hausted and accordingly the various Boards were cautioned about in- curing new obligations. At the present time 153 children are being cared for at a cost of about $2300 per month. The appropriation for the next biennium should be $60,- GOO.
 Fish Hatcheries
 "The last Legislature placed the fish hatcheries at Ketchikan and Cordova in the custody of the Ter ritorial Road Board. In order to relieve the Territory of unneces- sary expense arrangements were made with the Ketchikan Commer- cial Club whereby they have assum- ed responsibility for the care of the buildings and equipment of the Ketchikan hatchery and have agreed to keep it in repair until disposed of by the Territory. The hatchery at Cordova has been closed and MT. Mcdonald of the United ocaCCo Ol Cob 0CiViCC l1do hlliNAy given his time and services in pro- tecting this property. It is suggest ed that some definite plan be made for disposing of or caring for these properties as they are deteriorating rapidly.
 Rescue and Relief of Lost Persons
 January 1, 1929 there remained S4,62405 out of the appropriation of sl0,000 for the Rescue and Relief of Lost Persons. Since then we have authorized some expenditures but there will be substantial balance at the end of the biennium. An appropriation of $10,000 should be sufficient to meet all requirements. Each session of the Legislature has sent memorials to Congress re- questing that 8 government insti- tuition be provided for the care of the insane of Alaska.
