Nothing Doing

Secretary McCankle of the Ameri-
can Institute Of Actuaries told
story at a banquet in Des Moines.
"a waiter in night club" he
said, complained bitterly to the
cloakroom girl.
"The whole night through he
moaned, I've had the hardest kind Of
hard luck. Haven't made a cent on
the side, not a cent. added in the
date on every blasted bill, but not
once did the trick work. Not once

"'You poor fish, said the cloak
room girl, mo wonder your trick
didn't work. Don't you know that all
these people here are attending the
actuaries' convention?'

Agricultural Notes


Make sure that growing heifers
have plenty of fresh, pure water at all
times.
Cows should be removed from the
pasture several hours before milking
if their milk is known to contain the
off flavor produced by weeds and
plants.
No purchase of vitamin rich feeds
is necessary where the proper amounts
of good alfalfa are fed, say about one
pound to every 100 pounds live weight,
in a balanced ration.
Where milk is sold it is usually
more convenient to cool it at once aft
er milking. 1t is true that bacteria
do not begin to increase rapidly In
milk till from two to four hours after
milking.
Dairy farmers may help improve the
price of cream by consuming more
butter and dairy products. Temporary
overproduction may be corrected by
selling for slaughter all low producing
and Improbable cows.
Efficient separators deliver skim
milk that tests below 2 per cent. When
the fat content of skim milk reaches
5 per cent there is preventable loss
of three pounds of butterfat in 1000
pounds of skim milk delivered by the
separator.

SAFETY IN AIR INCREASES.

Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Aviation Maj. Clarence M. Young, recently issued some highly interesting statistics flying in the United States The airlnes, operating regular schedules, carried more passengers during the first six months of the current year than transported during the entire year of 1929 Airplanes carried 208385 pas sengers and 376l376 pounds of mail and 1145,477 pounds of express in that period. This is four times many passengers as were carried during the first six months of 1929. The total mileage flown by scheduled aircraft for the 1880 period was 16902 728
 More interesting still is the fact tha there was only fatal accident for every 100000 miles flown This, of course, does not include fatalities occurring in other than scheduled transport lines. In other types of flying than the commercial, &C., cidents showed decided increase
 The deduction seems obvious. Commercial com panies, having set high standards for planes and their operating personnel steadily progressing toward the goal of practical safety They are not minded to countenance poorly constructed ships and ill-trained and incompetent flyers. The lesson seems to be clear: Keep out of planes that are not
 licensed by the proper authority to engage in carry ing passengers, and do not go up with pilots who not licensed to operate duly licensed, oassen- ger carrying machines. If this is done, the air traveller has a splendid chance of living to ripe old age.

Bar and Amendment.
Boston News Bureau.)

An expert opinion on any controversial question is usually to be valued highly Particularly when it itself is suggested both by the source of the opinion and by the character of the ques- ton in general, with the phase that is or should be- after all, the central and controlling phase That is the regards the results of the lawyers referendum on our Prohibition leg isation.
 myriad things have been said about Pro- hibition pro and con. We all set ourselves up as authorities this that the other angle, usually incidental mostly the social the per- sona side dealing with episodes or conditions under the workings the non workings of the Vostead Act. But, however, colorful many of these, and however much excitation they may cause on either side they still remain incidental-qute apart from the core issue. That is whether, a matter of real law, the celebrated amendment should after it's than decade of trial, remain imbedded in the Constitution should be elected by repeal Three-fourths of the members of the American Bar Association have now expressed themselves twice over on the matter First by vote Of 14782 to 5625 they held that there should be such referendum; second by vote of 13779 to 6340 they stood more than two to one for repeal Of the amendment.
 This was no nasty and emotional affair but was distinctly formal and deliberate in duration, since the first postcards went out in January until the final count was in and not revealed till after election It verdict to oust as bad law some thing deemed out of place in the Constitution
 
 for many lawyers These barristers passed that verdict as expert citizens the damage they saw from that invasion of the Constitution. That is the one vital and fatal criticism of the Amendment It is taken high ground, is not the least degree frivolous It is just the same sort of tenet very recently set forth in this publication as expressing it's own attitude, in part as folloWs Prohibition is based on msconcep-
 ton of the nature of Constitution, on the
 mistaken assumption that law and legisla-
 ton are identical, and on a misunderstand-
 ing of human nature.
 The continuing presence in the Consti-
 tuition of the United States of the police
 regulation known the 18th Amendment, and in the Federal and State statutes Of l the legislative lie known as the Volstead Act constitutes demoralizing menace to | constitutional and representative govern ment.
 It is as bad law however technically correct the manner of it's incubation as hal-marked by the courts that the Amendment is first and most obectionable And to think the lawyers more than two to one.

Who Built the Fairbanks Courthouse?
Fairbanks News-Miner.


 Thank the good Lord the big election is over for another two years Everybody is friendly again They all greet each other with happy "Gooo Morning" instead of a grunt Let us hope all the politicians who ran for office and were elected keep their election promises. Of course We "hae our doots' about this,
 What we are kinda puzzled about right now although we know it was the Fairbanks Chamber of Commerce who put is over-is Who the heck is going to claim two years from now that he built the Fairbanks court houseP" One candidate running for office this election claimed he built the railroad the college, lot of highways, and maybe the Inside Passage to Alaska.
 Another claimed he built the bridge across Cinema River in the Fourth Division, the Fairbanks Airport helped build the International Highway built lots of roads and highways in the Ihro Division and in the First Division they have not made up their minds yet who built Mendenhal Glacier or showed the Indians who cannot read oi write how to vote inteigenty." We predict at least three candidates who are cinch to run for office again about two years from now will claim they built this new court house we are going to have in Fairbanks, with construction starting this coming spring.

AERIAL MYSTERY CLEARED.

Suspense over the fate of Pilot E. J. A. Burke and two companions, Mechanic Emil Kadng and passenger Bob Martin missing since October II, when their plane left Lard Post for Atlin, B. O., is ended by the finding of Burke dead and or Kadng and Marten alive The wonder is not that the lifting of the veil of mystery that has en- shrouded the three airmen reveals fatality but that there are any survivors at all Regret must be felt over the fact that successful termination of the search could not have been effected few weeks earlier, so as to have prevented the tragic phase of the misadventure.
 To Everett J. Wasson, pilot, and Joseph Walsh, guide. great credit is due for the finding of the lost airmen By sustained, intelligent effort fraught with peril to themselves thev brought to a con- clusion task that had baffled the endeavors of other capable avators and that seemed hopeless of satisfactory result. Likewise Livingston Wernecke, Manager of the Treadwell- Yukon Mining Company at Mayo is entitled to instituted commendation. He made available for rescue undertaking the com- panys plane and encouraged its pilot and it's guide to persist in their attempts These three determined characters of which Northerners can justly be proud have snatched from death two human lives that it had marked for its own
 The lesson in the disaster is that arplanes in North like large numbers of such craft in the States should be equipped with wireless-sendng apparatus If the Burke machine had been pro- vided with radio means of communication not only would he himself be alive but 8obh Renahan and his two associates would not been led in their iIl-starred effort at resoue a tempt the fate of death that probably has bciaen them.
 Precautions now dilalory 1t is true. But they are better late than never.

A BIG MOVE FORWARD.

One of the most frequent causes for complaint that Alaskans have had against the national Gov ernment, whatever party was in power has been the practice of withdrawing public lands in the Territory from entry and occupancy In the past Alaska has been made a hothouse for haf-baked experiments many. of which could only be under taken at the expense of the Northland's resources So extensive has been this practice that it is ex- tremely doubtful if there is single individual, pub- lie official or private citizen who calculate with any degree of accuracy the acreage within Terri torial borders that is covered by withdrawal orders and great many of them serve no useful purpose
 Two striking examples of impractical withdrawals can be readily cited-Glacier Bay and Katmai Ma tonal Monuments The latter was created in 1918 to preserve from destruction the natural phenomena aboundng in the Mt Katmai district products of hot springs etc which in the very nature of things could not be nolested, removed destroyed except by the same forces that created them The same holds good the Glacier Bay which is largely composed of ice -shrouded mountains. No additional protection other than bestowed by natural conditions was necessary in either and none was extended by the reservations which merely tied up thousands of square miles of public lands from any kind of private development. Neither tract is suitable for industrial development, unless it be mineral and all prospecting forbidden in them by the reservation orders.
 
 ploration by private initiative and capital the Gov ernment assumed obligation to develop them by public funds for public usage. In the 12 years that have elapsed since Katmai National Monument was created and in the five since Glacier Bay was locked up Federal authority has taken step toward making them any more available to the public than nature left them It denied private capital the opportunity to do so yet neglected to do anything itself The whole policy was without sense or practical meaning.
 Apparently the Hoover administration has recog- nized the folly of such policy. This to be logical conclusion to be deduced from the recent decision reached by the Department of Interior and Department of Agriculture not to ask the President to sign any orders for withdrawals of public lands until they have frs been submitted to the Gov ernor of Alaska and passed upon by him It does not naturally follow that his disapproval will kill any future projected reservation affecting public lands in the Territory but it will at least give him and Alaskans generally an opportunity to be heard on the matter, something that has been denied in the past.
 This is a real accomplishments big move for ward AS such Alaskans generally will welcome it. The two Departments could have gone further by saving that no withdrawals would be made in the future without the consent Of the Territorys Chief Executive which would not b. unfair to anyone However, under the new policy, Alaska can be req
