CONGRESS MIXING IN FOREIGN
RELATIONS.

The so-called ffteen-cruiser bill IS so closeiy
associated with the foreign relations policy Oh the
Government that the Senate, in rejecting the
earnest urges of President Coolidge President
elect Hoover Secretary Kellogg, Chairman Boran
of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee ana
Senator Swanson, ranking Democratic member OF
the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, might
be said to have again butted into foreign affairs
in such way to handicap those charged by
the Constitution and pIecedents with their care.
We believe this was mistake.
Right now the matter of greatest moment
I'm the relations of the nations is the working
out Of a program for permanent peace There are
those who represent the diplomatic affairs OF
countries that viii find in the mandate that
the building of all the fifteen cruisers authorized
must be under way by 1881 chip on the
shoulder Many people will look upon the pro
gram as preparing for rather than for peace.
We believe il would have been far better If the
whole matter had been left in the hands Of Mr..
Hoover We are certain that he would be able
to convince he world that the larger the Ameri-
can navy The greater would be the assurance OF
peace on the other hand. he might have work
ed our a program that would have saved us many
millions Of dollars and not have precluded the
likelihood Of further tax reduction during the next
four i've years.

kind who is great at making a
hash of her husbands life.
One of the wonders of the day
is how extensively girls can make
going without clothes.
A man with a boil on his neck
never gets as much sympathy
from the married men as they give
the one who has his wife on his.
Many a wife considers her hus-
band brute because he would
rather spend the evening with the
boys having a good time than
spend it at home listening to her
razz him.
You can tell by a once over of
a girl that the difference between
her mother and her conscience is
that one is overworked and the
other isn't.
A genius is husband who can
make his wife believe she looks
more like knockout in her last
years coat than the snob next
door does in her brand new one
Yes, genuises are very, very rare.
If a woman thinks it is more
important to keep her pedal ex-
tremities from getting chillblains
than it is to give the rubbernecks
an eyeful, it is a sign she is past
middle age.
Then some men might be more
affectionate with their wives if
wildcats and monographs were
not such darn poor things to pet.
Another reason why it pays to
be careful before buying wedding
ring is because a woman who gets
mans money via the alimony
route gets no meals for him.

COASTWISE SHIPPING SHOULD RE

Of the Jones Law provision that makes II neces
sary that the water haul of freight between an
American point 10 the states aud an Alaskan
port, where the transportation is by both water
and rail- must DC in an American vessel, admit
frankly that the provision IS strictly in harmony
with the spirit Of the coastwise shipping laws
that have been in effect in this country for more
than century. The eosstwise shipping laws
ware devised for the purpose of giving all strict
" American shipping to vessels Of our own
country.
However, the Jones Law provision does not
apply to any other part Of the country than
Alaska. and that is not fair to Alaskans Unde,

KETCHIKAN STOPS FIGHT FOR TARIFF

At largely attended meeting of the
Commercial Club this noon Jan 30]
the following resolution was adopted:
Whereas the Commercial Club of Ket-
chikan sometime ago voted OF use its
best efforts to center the fishing industry
of the North Pacific in Alaska;
And whereas out OF this has grown
misunders anding by many persons
outside the Club and by some of the
members as to the aims and intent of
organizations
And whereas particularly the hall
but vessel owners, some OF whom are
members of this CLUB, are not in agree
ment with us;
And. whereas it is Of the utmost i'm
portance that of Alaska work in har-
mony and Tor the general welfare of
the Territory and its people;
Be it resolved that the Commercial
Club Of ketehkan discontinue for the
time being and until such time as there
can be more uniformity Of opinion in its
efforts ia the matter OF advocating
higher tariff or fish:
And, further, be i resolved that the
committee appointed to prepare publicity
in the matter be discharged Forthwith

Time Limit To File Ex-Service
Mems Tax Exemption July 4

few persons who are entitled to
exemptions under the law haYS
liled their claims with the county
ASSESSOR I g.l aat
II The tax exemption law is appli-
cable to all ex-soldiers and navy
mea, army nurses, ex-seryice mems
willows and marines.
! While the law has been operative
for, some time, apparently few per-
sons who are affected by it have
acquainted themselves with its
provisions and benefits and many
of those who have heard of the
measure know of it only in gen.
eral way, Mr.. Bryan pointed out.
The law entities ex-service men
and other whom it includes in it's
scope to a $4,000 tax exemption,
provided the total assessed valua-
ton of the property for which the
exemption claim is filed is: not in
ext ess of $4,000.
In other words, Mr.. Bryan ex-
planned, if an exemption claimant
owned property with total as
sessed valuation of $4,000, he
would be taxed only on the basis
FFof a $4,000 valuation. 4.@
All classes Of taxable property,
including real estate and automo-
lilies are affected by the tax exemp-
tion law. sQoo1, E4ajaS
The law also entities ex-service
men and others to whom it applies
who are not the outright owners of
properties, to exemption on their
equities. a1c 1i aAe ap9sr
Although the time limit is set
for July l, all claims should be
filed before the county assessment
rolls are turned over by the asses
sor to the board of supervisors on,

adjustment, Mr.. Bryan declared.
