GENEVA, March 6. Reports have reached Geneva of move ment by prologue Americans to bring the United States into the League on some basis of modified utilization.
 It is understood that any plan devised will take completely into account the policy of the American Government to avoid cooperation with the League on purely political questions
 So extensive have become Amer ican relations with the League on non-political questions that it is being argued that a definite official relationship would be better for everybody The United States Gov ernment, or American citizens and institutions are taking more part in League affairs than many mem Der nations.
 Jeremiah Smith of Boston is. a member of the finance committee Lucius Eastman of New York is a member of the permanent economic committee. Professor Allyn A. Young of Harvard is member of the permanent consultative economic committee, set up to give continuity to the decisions of the economic conference. Professor Young's plan to study economic tendencies like 1 ly to disturb peace, is receiving world wide interest.

LEAGUE SEEKS WAY
 TO ADMIT U. s. AS
 ASSOCIATE MEMBER

Interest in the battle against opium and drugs is referred to as a special reason why the United States should regularize it's League relationship. The American people, more than any other people in the world, follow closely League activi- ties in this social problem. but it is pointed out that the Washington Government is merely represented unofficially on the Leagues advis- ory opium committee.
 In the question of double taxa ton and problems of communica- tion and transit. the United States has taken leading part. But it is the problem of disarmament that the United States has especially come with active cooperation, send ing always important delegations as members of the preparatory dis armament commission.
 The ratification of the Kellogg pact and the recent suggestion of NOttdbJl atloAA OCtWCCti ti&C <4<06 aC and the Pan-American Conference of which the United States Secre- tary of State was President, in con- nection with the political crisis be- tween Bolivia and Paraguay have served to emphasize. it is averred, the wisdom and desirability of some kind of "regularized" membership. Whether a kind of associate mem bership for the United States would be acceptable to other countries which are now members is also be- ing discussed. In this connection remarks are heard that such de- velopment might prove embarrass- ing as Russia. Argentine, Brazil and Mexico might subsequently, claim the same privilege.

COL. LINDBERCH BEING WATCHED Not by Mexican Rebels but by Newspapermen n
 Mexico City

MEXICO CIT, March 6. = Col. Charles A. Lindbergh is enjoying relative obscurity into which the Mexican revolution has thrown him. Since the beginning of the revolu- tion on Sunday, newspapermen have been too busy with the news of the revolt to do much more than keep a wary eye on him to be sure he does not depart suddenly or elope with his fiancee.
 While the revolt has given Col. Lindbergh a breathing spell, he is impatient to get back to the United States. Repairs to his machine are still proceeding.

MEXICO CITY, March 6.--Mili- tary action on an extended scale marked the progress of the Mexi- can revolution today.
 Both the Mexican Government and rebels are beginning troop movements in the North and South with heavy fighting in prospect.
 Disturbed by the capture of Mon- terey, important strategic railway center, the Federals are marching from five directions on the capital of Nuevo Leon to drive out Gen. Escobar, powerful rebel leader who is in control there.
 City Bottled Up
 For the moment the Government appeared to be concentrating on Monterey, being content to merely bottle up the City of Vera Cruz which has been cut of from the remainder of the country. In the North, the rebels appear cd to have scored signal successes but the battle lines are being drawn lat two points aimosr' within gun range of the American border. Enroute to Juarez Rebels are reported enroute to Juarez across the border from Fl Paso, Texas. while Federals are marching on Nogales, now in rebel hands.

TOT does it, indicate that thef fEerri- tory as a WI has retrogressed. In the past t~. nave relied on the fisheries to employ a large per- centage of our population and to furnish a major part of our reve- nues. In fact, the prosperity of the coastal sections of the Terri tory depends on the success of the fishing industry. Tn 1927 there was an unexpected decline in the salmon supply and consequently a material reduction in revenues. In 1928 the catch of salmon was above normal and the returns to the Treasury will be above the average
 "The producsIon rom our min eral resources was less than for previous years but some of the larger operations did not get under way until late last year and there is every reason to believe that the returns from mining will be great CT during the next biennium. "The enactment of laws govern ing the allocation of grazing lands has for the first time made it pos sible for stock owners to acquire control of specific areas and there is evidence of renewed interest in this industry. The breeding and marketing of reindeer are rapidly assuming place in our productive industries and the Federal Govern ment is studying many of the prob lems involved so that aid may be given to the owners. As further aid five of the larger islands in the Aleutian chain were eliminated from the Reservation that was ere ated in 1910. These islands con- tain large areas of land that are suitable for grazing purposes and we may expect them to be occupied in the future.

 Auditor'a Office
 "The District Court for the First Judicial Division, just after the close of the last legislative session, held that the Secretary of Alas ka is ineligible to perform the many duties that have been confer .ed on his office for the past fif- cen years by the Legislature. The Court stated that the present in cumbent is performing these duties as a defacto officer and may con- tinue to act in that capacity until removed or other arrangements are made to meet the situation. The suit was later withdrawn but 1t IS not proper that this question should remain subject to attack. It IS suggested that this matter be given immediate consideration and re- commend the creatio nof depart ment of audit with provisions for the election of a Territorial Audi tor authorized to assume all of the Territorial duties now performed by the Secretary of Alaska.
 Since it is necessary to reor- ganize the office of the Secretary It is advisable for you to consider whether or not certain functions, which were assigned to that office at time when there was no other place for them, should be taken out and assigned to the proper depart ment. The recording of vital sta- tistics and all matters pertaining to health and sanitation, should be under supervision of the Commis- sioner of Health However, until the new capitol building is com pleted the records and clerk In charge should remain in their pres ent location. If this change is made a saving of s1200 to S15n0 per year can be made because it will not be necessary to make an appro- priation for additional stenographic services for the Commissioner o1 Health or the Boards of Medical and Dental Examiners.
 Taxation
 "Taxation is a favorite theme ir every legislative body and justly so because it affects, or should affect each individual citizen in every commonwealth. It is an exceed ingly difficult problem to so ad- 1 just taxation that every individua and every industry will be required to pay their fair proportion of the funds that are necessary to main tain the government but any ta, measure which fails to do this i' unjust. Too often do our revenue measures impose an excessive bur den on those who, because of better management or greater business ability and broader vision, have achieved notable success in somt particular field of endeavor.
 we are entering this bienniun with what seems to be a large bal. ance in the treasury and you vii be confronted with many requests for appropriations because of thi apparent surplus. If we are to b' successful in conducting the busi

BEDTIME STORIES By :: 1 EM%S4s2

I break of day until jolly round, red Mr.
Sun went to bed behind the Purple
Hills, none of these knew q single mo-
ment free of fear. All were being hunted
by two-legged creatures with terrible
guns.
So 1t was that instead Of gladness
throughout the Green Meadows and the
Green Forest sadness ruled. Dreadful
tales were whispered among the little
people. Sorrow and pain and suffering
were to be found everywhere. It was
the season of dread. In the Green
Forest and on the Green Meadows Of
Farmer Browns farm alone was there
a little peace and happiness. You see,
all around that farm were signs warn
ing hunters to keep of. But once in
while hunter would slip in when
he thought Farmer Brown and Farmer
Browns Boy were away. So even over
the farm of Farmer Brown the shadow
Of fear lay. Then, too, some Of those
who had been wounded but had es-
capped the hunters, sought shelter on
Farmer Browns farm. A few who had
been very badly hurt had died there.
So even there there was sadness.
Its the unfairness that makes it so
very awful" said Peter Rabbit to little
enough. goodness knows. Reddy Fox.
Old Man Coyote. Hooty the Owl.
Shadow the Weasel. the members of
the Hawk family-all are forever ready
to catch us If they can. But If they
do, it's mostly our own fault. They
hunt us for food. It is our wits against
their wits. To get us they have to
actually catch us. But these two.legged
creatures with terrible guns can stand
long way of and kill us. If they don't
kill us they hurt us with those terrible
guns and we have to suffer. That is
the unfairness of it. Then, too, they
are not smart enough to even find us
themselves. They have to have dogs
to find us for them. It is unfair. It
is terribly unfair"
Little Mrs. Peter agreed. She knew
that all the other little people Of the
Green Forest and the Green Meadows
agreed also. Peter" said she, II want
you to promise me something"
what is it?" asked Peter, somewhat
gruffly.
ST want you to promise me that you
will not leave the dear Old Briar-patch
until this dreadful hunting season is
over. We are fairly safe here"
Peter didn't promise. You see, he
likes to visit the Green Forest and
learn what is going on over there. He
likes to 60 up to the Old Orchard
and get the news. So Peter wouldn't
promise.

It was the sad glad time of the year
1t should have been altogether a glad
time. 1t would have been but for one
thing-the great fear which all the lit
tie people of the Green Forest and the
Green Meadows felt, but which some
felt more than others. 1t was the sea-
son of harvest-the pleasant season
after the going of Summer and before
the coming Of Winter. All the little
people had plenty to eat. All were fat.
The storehouses Of those who stored
food were filled. So you see it should
have been the g.ad time.

It was the sad time because it was

1918, compiled laws of 1918, conferred
full authority for the city to submit
to the voters proposal for the issue
of bonds for public building to serve
for the purposes Of an armory, public
baths, community center, and so on
while the building proposed under
house bill 226. of the last legislature
was SO thoroughly In the nature OF
the purposes enumerated In the other
law that it would be perfectly legal
to unite the proceeds of a city bond
issue. as proposed, with county
moneys for a joint city-county me-
mortal building.
AS to the airport. after some dis
cussion of q tract that can be leased
with an option to buy, 1t was decided
to have Commissioners Wachter anc
French join in an inspection Of the
tract with the Association Of Com.
merce airport committee.
The two matters, along with the
curfew ordinance, will be brought ur
at the regular meeting Of the com.
| mission Monday evening.
