chambers exclusive privilege OF
initiating revenue legislation.
Different View
Some senators take q different
view Of the debenture plan. argu-
ing It is not revenue legislation IN
the constitutional meaning. but
practically all concede that II IT'S
advocates are successful in their
present effort, a long drawn out
controversy with the house is in
prospect. Administration leaders
are counting on that prospect, in
view of the wheat situation and
the feeling that early enactment OF

add the necessary two or three
votes TO their strength TO defeat
the plan.
The proposal was put into the
bill by a vote of AZ TO a. A few
shifts will keep it out Of the con-

least one gain. Senator Kendrick,

Washington but left instructions 10

some members Of the debenture

part in the voting. He voted with
the debenture advocates on the

The outcome of the revived con-
test Is recognized as doubtful by
both sides. end their leaders are
making every effort to keep their
forces in line and ready to vote.
Few. however. expected a vote 81

BANK DIRECTOR IS
 VISITING IN ALASKA

w. H. Benton, of Minneapolis, Minn., director in the Bank of Alaska, left on the Margnita for Skagway after having spent sev- eral days in Juneau, a guest at the Gastineau Hotel.
 MT. Benton has been making annual trips to Alaska for the past 12 years and said that with each trip he finds some new i'm provement. The Bank of Alaska has branches in Skagway, Ket- chikan, Anchorage, Cordova and Wrangell Upon his return from Skagway, MT. Benton will go south and visit Portland, Ore, Great Falls, Mont, and California before returning to his home in Minneapolis.
 It was only recently that MT. Benton made combined business and pleasure trip to Europe. Lately, he had booked passage on steamer sailing for Aus tralia but was forced to postpone this trip until later date.

Squealer, held the air, enjoy-' cd the program while your music box shrieked and howled for all the rest of us, who wearily de- cided it was no use to break our ear-drums, and were forced to turn to another station, and listen to the cheap strains of q Gotta Get Myself Somebody to Love-" We ask you, Mir Squealer, is it fair for you to hog the air-for you to have the station, the rest of us, (some 400 in number) are automatically shut ont?
 Thirdly: You may voice the oh jecton that your set. though not standard, even though, il may he home made, or mail order one, or one that your Aunt Sally gave you, last Xmas, or one that your Uncle Hezekiah who died at Hoo- nah willed to you-you may say that it does not squeal. Such reasoning is silly. The only au- thority that would justify you to make such a statement is the word of the Local Radio Testing Depart ment after they have made thor ough test of your machine and pro- nounced it "offenseless." Would you be willing to have your ma- chine tested? Or are you going to be unfair because you know it doesn't squeal, and you hesitate to face the truth?
 Lastly: When you operate ma chine that squeals, you are il- legally operating miniature broadcasting station. You are sending out waves and calls, and unless you have license to do so, you are breaking the law, and are liable to fine. Every set in this town can be traced down by means of a local testing apparatus, and after-consequences could be unpleasant, but we are hoping to appeal to the justice, the fairness and reason of the owners of the squealing sets in the hope that they will see our argument and assist us in solving our problem.
 Thanks ever so m uc h, MT Squealer, for what you can do for us by not doing" and thank you, MT. Editor, for your kind atten- tion.

HAROLD LLOYD AT
 COLISEUM TONIGHT

Lovers of tn c great outdoors have treat in store for them when Harold Lloyd's next gloom chaser, "The Kid Brother" comes to the Coliseum tonisar, because the greater portion of the picture was made in the open spaces of California The Lasky Ranch in Dark Canyon, just outside of Hol- lywood, provided a large measure of the locale in "The Kid Brother" while the beautiful waters of Ava lon Bay also provided their quota of shots"
 The story of "The Kid Brother" is set in tiny town nestling in the mountain foothills. Lloyd gets away from the stereotyped feud yarn, which has been done to death in motion pictures, and throughout the entire picture not a gun is fired. It's just a human interest comedy, ripe with carefully cor related romance, drama, and with thrills, the type of plot in which the bespectacled comedian revels.
 Harold is back in the sympa- thetic type of characterization which was so popular in "The Freshman" Girl Shy" 'Grandma's s Boy,' and other of his most sue cessful pictures.
 That "The Kid Brother" will be another great success, is beyond question, for those who have seen Pafamount's current release ac- claim it as being in a class with Harold's best. What more could any audience possibly ask of g picture?
 "The Prodigal Bridegroom" star ring Ben Turpin, will be another feature of the bill. Ben, engaged to Lizzie Boone who loves him with the tender devotion of a porus plaster, is sent to the big city to sell the big butter and egg crop. En route home he meets up with his Nemesis in the per. son of Gertie Gray, a dangerous curve ahead-or anywhere else and thereby hangs a tale and one of the funniest Ben has turned out to date, it is said.

AN APPEAL TO "AIR HOCS," OWNERS OF
 ''SQUEALER" RADIOS

Dear, kind, good, MT. Editor. Isn't there something you can do through the columns of your paper on behalf of a group of soul-distressed mortals-the Poor Radio Owners, vs, t h e Juneau Squealers' Society.
 There has been so much said; more desperate things thought and most despairing prayers uttered, that we hesitate to even mention the subject; yet we are hoping against hope that this article may do some good, inasmuch as it is not a threat, not bawl-out, but just an honest-to-gosh appeal from a group of radio owners and music lovers who like to don their com fortahle bath robes, fill mp the old pipe, pull up the easy chair, and drift away in bliss to the charm of the radio. (when it is not punctured by soul-f r y g screams and moans from the damned)-anyway, that is the way we feel about it, and the way it sounds to us. Aw, come on, now you owner of homemade set, or any set that is not standard and which you guiltily feel might squeal,' give us and ear and 'have heart" Listen to reason for a minute and see if we can't solve this problem in some way.
 In the first place: It is a ques- tion of value received in propor- tion to money spent. Is it fair for you, MT. Radio Squealer, to pay one-tenth the amount an owner of non-squealing set pays for his; then "hog the air" for an entire evening, and justify yourself? The fellow who has plunked out his S250 or S4O0 for a decent radio is stuck, that is all.
 Secondly: It is a question O. equal distribution of enjoyment When you, MT Squealer, tune in on station, you and you alone, possess that station and are lord and master of all you survey un- til you graciously see fit to "get off and let the other fel 0 W breathe. You don't believe it? An example: Last night, station KJR, Seattle, was hooked up in net work with Chicago. Broad casting conditions were perfect and the music floated in much to the delight of the listeners who probably had Chicago for the first time. Suddenly the lovely strains of q Love You Truly" were e

CHARLIE MURRAY
 AT PALACE SUNDAY

Charlie Murray has one type of comedy Characterization in which, through years on stage and the screen, he. has proved himself the funniest man in pictures. He's coming to the Palace Theatre Sun day in just that sort of role!
 In ''The Life of Riley" in which he is co-featured with George Sid. ney, Murray is small-town fire chief, inventor of fire extinguish- CT. Sidney is the Chief of Police of the same village. Both the famous comics love the fascinat- ing widow, played by Myrtle Sted- man.
 The plot starts from there and never pauses for an instant to dish up laughs and thrills. Of course there is villain; novel and in teresting type of photographer shell-game operator and slicker, en- acted by Sam Hardy. The princi. pal romance is distinctly comedic in nature, but there is a youthful affair between June Marlowe and Stephen Carr, that is full of heart throbs and wistful sweetness.
 E. M. Asher produced "The Life of Riley" for First National Pic. lures. The story was written for the famous fun combination, Sid ney and Murray, by Mann Page.

Mrs James Shell and two ch ld- ren, Marjorie Jane and Rober. James, arrived in Juneau Sunday night on the Princess Mary Mrs. Shell and her family have just re- turned from South Wales, Eng land. MT. and Mrs. Shell left Jul neau last July for a trip to Eng land, but MT. Shell returned here last October.
 On November 22, Mrs. Shell and her two children left Southampton, England on the steamer Metagama for New Brunswick, Canada. En- route to Juneau they stopped in London, Ontario, where they were the guests of Mrs. Shells sister, Mrs. Richard Holcomb.
 In speaking of her trip to Eng land, Mrs. Shell said: "After wit messing the poor living conditions in South Wales and seeing how desperately poor the people in that locality have been since the World War, we feel that Juneau is a veritable paradise and we are very glad to be back. While in England we visited relatives in Cullompton, Devonshire, which is my birthplace, and I had a most enjoyable time renewing old ac- quaintances and talking to old school chums."

By KIRKE L. SIMPSON

WASHIN NGTON, Jan. IT, When February next rolls around and the Senate opens for the days business, without doubt it will halt proceedings to do honor again to it's senior em- ployee, Theodore F. Shuey, dean of that hard driven corps of stenogaphers known as the "Of- ficial Reporters of the Debates of the Senate"
 It will be the birthday ami versary of this sturdy octogenar- ian, but more than that, it will mark his completion of 60 years of unbroken service as Senate reporter.
 There is no parallel in the Government service anywhere so far as the Bystander knows, and in calling attention to the an- nivesary last year Vice-President Dawes pointed out that Shuey in more than 59 years "has never missed a day on duty because of illness. Kept Young by Work
 On that occasion, Dr. Cope land, Senator from New York, seized the opportunity to deliver homily on the folly of too early retirement.
 'The man who retires from ac- tive life is the man who dies, |" Dr. Copeland asserted. "If MT. Shuey had retired ten years ago he would have been buried five years since, but now he is a young man, keeping his youth by striving to do his work every day. If he has served the Senate 59 years I am convinced he must have started here the day he was born because he does not look to me to be more than 59."
 Not to be outdone, the late Senator Willis of Ohio pointed out that Shuey had fought in the Union ranks at Gettysburg, with the father of the Vice President.
 All of which has very striking, the more so in that Shuey him self, with pen poised, sat to take the record of what was said. He was utterly unprepared to hear himself made the subject of the Debates of the Senate" He is a modest man. It's very difficult to get him groping amid his memories although he has record ed time and again debates of historic significance.
 For the first time in his pro- fessional career, this sudden in- ltroduction of himself into the shorthand hyrogliphics he was setting down swept him off his feet. He didn't know what he was writing and grinning col league with knowledge of what was to come actually reported the debate from ambush behind

Chamber Favors Septem- Der Elections and Legis-

The Juneau Chamber of Com merce today endorsed the proposal of the Fairbanks Chamber of Com merce to urge that elections in Alaska be advanced to the first Tuesday after the first Monday in September rather than on similar date in November as now. It urged advancing the date of the opening of the Legislature to the second Monday in January instead of the first Monday in March. as now. The earlier election date was urged for the reason that it would be at that time of year when all Alaskans were on their jobs and because the returns could be So much easier gathered when all transportation Lines were operat- ing on schedule.

 modern journalism, motor cars, jazz, radio, popular literature, all these ideas about rights of wom- en, the spread of irrelegion, the decline of philosophy, the mania for gold? All these we have talk en from America. American ideas control the world in all phases of civilization. Europe still holds American culture in contempt, and most Japanese ape Europe in this respect, without realizing that we are all Americas slaves materially and intellectually.
 And all to no good end, says MT. Murobuse. He bewails the decline of the genteel civiliza- ton Of the nineteenth century, the passing of aristocratic so- ciety, the coming of mass produc- tion, mass thinking, mass living. In all the degeneration he de- scribes, the world is taking it's cue from the United States, the "arch type" of the new age of crushing materialism.
