Japanese FoiI to
 Seek Remoual Of
 Immigration Ban

TOKYO, April 3.-Yusuke Tsu- rumi, in the course of interpella- tions in the lower house of the Diet, assailed the government for it's failure to attempt removal Of the American ban on Japanese i'm : migration. M
 He expressed a belief that this was a most suspicious time to un- dertake such removal, since prob ably President Hoover, Secretary of State Stimson and others of the Presidents official family from the west coast might be inclined to view Japan's wishes favorably.
 Etcuiiro Uyehara, parliamentary counsellor for the foreign office, replied that the question could not be settled in @ day or two because of it's social and economic compli- cations. He said, however, the government would seek an ad- justment whenever the opportunity presented itself.

Some voters contended that Mrs. Hodgins' name should have been on the ballot for the three-year term also
 The judges, J. w. Quinn, s. Ma lackoff. and John Hollywood, a for mer member of the City Council and now member of the School Board and the clerks, H. Redman and Andrew Hope, closed the polls and went into conference to de- eide the issue.
 After some discussion the judges and clerks decided that the can didate receiving the highest num- Der of votes for the School Board would be given the three-year term and the next highest receive the unexpired term.
 Much interest in the matter was shown by voters in the community as both sides were out to win and the judges decision was awaited eagerly. The sample ballots ap- peared for the first time about 9 o'clock. an hour after the polls opened. City Clerk J. H. Gilpatrick distributed them
 No interest was shown in the election until it was discovered upon the appearance of the sample ballots, that Mrs. Hodgins name had been eliminated from the three-year term and placed on the one-year term, then the discussion waxed so hot that the polls were closed and the conference mention ed took place.

Financial Condition
 Of lIaska

9 On March 31 of this year. 3 the Territorial reasury } showed a balance of $1,239,- } 43430 This is $16.4O4.55 more than was in the treasury at 3 the same time last year, but $134,976.18 less than in 1927. The balance March 31, 1927. 3 when the last Territorial Legislature met, was $1 ,374,- } 460.48, the largest balance ever found in the Territorial Treasury at the end of a } fiscal year. This was largely } due to the tax collection for } the heavy fish year of 1926, } when the pack was one of the largest recorded.
 } The lower balance this } year is in part caused by the ] reduced revenue in taxes be- cause of the poorer fish pack last year Another reason given for the lower amount
 in the Treasury this year is
 the increased expenditure
 during the last two years
 in school refunds to incor-
 porated towns, which were
 increased by the last Terri
 torial Legislature from 75%
 to 85fo.

AMERICANS AS BOOK READERS.

The American people have acquired another worlds record. They have become gregarious read CTS of books as well as oniniverous consumers of magazines newspapers and all sorts of publications. Never before in any country have many publish CTS of books accumulated fortunes now ping up wealth in the United States Authors and presses in this country constantly breaking records in turning out books.
 The circumstance that book advertising has be- come one of the sources of daily newspaper income in New York and other centers testifies to the de- mand for reading. The regular daily editions of New York newspapers, like the World and Times, daily contain large advertisements of books A single copy of the World before contains the advertisements of seventeen books just issued and they include fiction history, travel biography and scientific publications.
 The increase in book reading and the pubca- tion of books is not confined to America. New records in book sales are being made in Great Britain, Germany, the Scandinavian countries, France and elsewhere but the American record ex- ceeds the others probably because have more people who buy books and who are

A HIGHWAY FROM ALASKA TO THE
 STATES.

The proposal to connect Alaska with the United States by automobile highway is attracting attention throughout the entire country. An interesting con- tribution on the subject from the pen of Delegate Sutherland of Alaska recently appeared in the United States Daily as a copyrighted article. On account of the copyright not permitted to print the article but might say that MT. Sutherland is strongly in favor of the construction Of such highway not only because of the effect it would have on tourist travel to the North but "as an aid deveopment of the great mineral resources that lie along the route, both in Canada and Alaska
 MT. Sutherland says the proposed highway is regarded not only practicable but declares there is a demand from residents of Alaska, Yukon Territory and the State of Washington for early construction of sections of road that will link the Alaskan and British Columbia roads into continuous highway"
 Of the project is favored by all the people of the North both sides of the international boundary. Such road would almost immediately become of the most popular thorougfares in the world for hunters fishermen and lovers of scenic grandeur and outdoor life And it would contribute immensely to development.

More or Less True


 The reason a woman would rath- CT have her husband the richest instead of the handsomest man in town is because it isn't husband s beauty that enables a wife to lord it over other women.
 Gentlemen may prefer blondes but the average man doesn't give whoop whether she is blonde or a brunette if she feeds him a lot of applesauce.
 It is a happy marriage if the husband doesn't always look as if he was envying every bachelor he meets.
 He may be an ideal husband, and again it may be just a case of Hob- sons choice, when the husband slaves himself in order that his wife can have the money to spend in the beauty parlor
 Even if she has as much chance of reducing as the house has o1 getting new furniture when the car needs new tires, a woman vii keep the whole darn family on 2 diet.
 The feminine touch may be gen. tle-but you can't prove it by the husband who has just been separ. ated from the price of new spring outfit.
 Times have changed and nov it is the girl who crosses her knees who shows she is lady-and no so much else.
 A girl who would make blinc man a good wife would make tht man who likes to feast his eyes or beauty a good one too, if he wasnH too blind to see it.

 For years the waifs were an un- solved problem. Most of them lost their homes and parents in the civil wars and revolutionary fight ing, but some took to the streets by choice and these proved the most recalcitrant.

The Way to the Top.
(NeW York Times ]

(NeW York TimeSD
 The election of MT Frederick H Ecker as Pres- dent of the Metropolitan Life, with the promotion of MT Cox and MT Lincoln, gives fresh evidence that the way to the top has not been closed to aspiring industrious, capable youth. MT. Ecker was born in village in the Catskils, MT. Lincoln in village in Cattaraugus County, and MT Cox on la farm in Illinois MT. Ecker had besides ele mentary school training only such formal education as could be had in night school, but he continued his studies alone and became in time authority on the subjects of his special interest From the very lowest round in the ladder-a mail boy in the Metropolitan Life-he has risen to the headship, having himself made major contribution to its becoming the largest financial institution of its kind in the world.
 MT Cox, with country school education supple mented by that of a village high school, found his way from the farm in Illinois to prominent place among executive officers in the business of life insurance. He associated with ex-President Cleveland in the direction of the affairs of the Association of Life Insurance Presidents and suc- ceeded him in its Presidency. Here again birth in humble circumstances has not been insuperable obstacle to his advancement to a position of high responsibility in national organization MT. Lin- coin had more advantages in respect of formal education and of parental leading, but his career also shows the free way which society keeps open for those who demonstrate their abilities and show themselves fit to be trustees of it's greatest con- cernS

Its romance is heightened by the rise of men to such commanding positions from the lowest by sheer ability, indefatigabe application and fiducary fitness
