About Our Judges

About Our Judges
A Judge who is slightly diff
ferent from the rest is 8 highly
intriguing figure to me, I am
frank to state that ] have scanS
respect for the modern Jurist.
There are too many phoneys
among the tribe.
Furthermore, it is my honest
opinion that no sincere effort Is
ever made to understand the
individual criminal. 7 do not
subscribe to the theory that be-
cause a man was once a crook
he will always be a crook. l
do not believe that by putting
q man in Jail for five or 10
years and then settins him free
with five dollars in hts pocket
and vengeance in his heart. So
ciety has accomplished any
thing whatsoever. I faf. to

Gus old moron, who Is on the
bench because his uncle was a
big guy in the right party,

to some poor boob who had
never been taught that 3 came
after A.
Perhaps feel q bit too
strongly about the situation,
but I've seen so much stupidity
and hypocrisy in the judiciary
that I can't help myself. Last
year, in collaboration with
Charlie Beahan, I wroge a play
called Might Court" which will
soon be released as a picture by
Metro Col Goldwyn-Msyer. The idea
for Might Court" was based
on an actual experience OF
mine some four years back. I'll
give it to you briefly.
In the Court Room
A New York magistrate. now
off the bench, sat in a speak
. easy with a girl friend sno my
self around O'Clock aS night.
He was supposed to be presid-
ing in night court at that hour,
but he was in no condition to
walk into court. Speaking
plainly, he was cockeyed,. !
finally sold His Honor the idea
of sending his girl home and
getting to his job. With some
black coffee in a. container.
we TAXED to the courthouse.
The first case was a little
Iristman whose wife accused
him of throwing a plate. The
Irishman was frightened stiff,
and kept stammering his in
nocence in a somewhat inco
herent manner. The judge. still
plenty drunk, and making an
heroic effort to maintain his
priceless dignity, peered down
at the little man.

Ohlsom Urges Support
 For AlaSka,S Railroad

the purpose of ascertaining, what could be done to reduce the operating, deficit of the railroad and. had reach. ed! the ronhlusion that the only solu- ticn lay in increasing rates. They learned that the rates,, as originally established, were 100 per cent higher than the western. classification al. it was their opinions that if the higher rates were justiled at the commence ment, of railroad. operations they shoalds be- in force at the present time, particularly in view of the an nual deficit resulting from operations under existing schedules.
 Of. the half million dollars which must be added. to the income of the railroad this year, it is estimated that the Fairbanks Exploration Company will absorb between $9O,OOO and $lO0 900, other. concerns which are owned outside of Alaska will con- tribute $35, ,000 to the increase, vari- ous government departments wiH take care of $100,00O, and tourists will bring in an additional $40,00O or $50,000, leaving Alaskans to, absorb only about $2O0.000 of the amount needed to keep the railroad moving.
 Assurances have been given to Col. Ohlson. that he will have the cooper ation of. the larger shippers, includ- ing the F. E. Co., andl operators in the lower Yukon country; and. he is hope full that other saippers and Alaskans generally will view the situation in a friendly ieht. and. continue to, give their fullest support to the railroad. The enterprise is one which must have cooperation in all sections of the Territory..

 While theeneeessity for increasing passengeff aAd freight rates on the Alaska Raaroada is' a; matter of sim cere regret ttooGeneral aMnager Otto F. Ohlson, it is pointed out by him that the situation is not so serious as most AlaskanS have been led to be- lieve. In statement given to the Times. following his return to, An- chorage headquarters Saturday from aif official vfsHtt6 6othea national capital, Colonel Ohisoh explains that Alas kzns vill be required to absorb only 9 small part of the increase, the ma- Dsr portion ofstheiburden falling upon various depsrtmes1tse of the. govern niant., eukside owned companies and tourists. Az1ds it is tlie belief of the genenls nlanaaser that with the right sort of c61o pefation the governments transportation system can De put on a. self-sustairiing basis within a period' of five or six years, with the possibility of g. gradual restoration of lower rStess
 Colonel 0Hlssn believes it will be a serious mistake for Alaskans to give encomagenheht to- any form of trans- pOrt.tion which will compete with the railroad.
