Indirectly it is learned that the United States Navy is considering the establishment of two air bases in AlaSka-one to the West ot Seward and possibly one at Sew ard. If one is established here the present field will probably see a great improvement in size, etc.
 Ernest Walker Sawyer and The Gateway have long extolled the naval and military virtues of Alaska and the Navy department is undoubtedly recognizing the stragetic importance of this coast line. ''.:,
 The Gateway's informant in Seattle says that a Navy pilot expected to come North this summer for the purpose of re- porting the feasibility of establish ing such bases and that the de- partment has long contemplated such bases at points mentioned.

THE HIGHWAY PATROL

Near the middle of June the
new law creating q state High.
way Patrol goes into effect.
Through this measure the state
will have q force Of officers to
enforce the motor vehicle laws
of the state. These new officers
will not be just speed cops, al.
though that feature of the motor
laws also comes under their jur.
isdiction, but they will have the
power to enforce oil the laws
pertaining to the operation OF
motor vehicles on the highways.
Evaders of license fees, faulty
registration, common carrier fees
and licenses, drivers permits
and everything pertaining to the
operation Of al automobile will
be within their province.
It has been declared that there
are 5000 cars running around
the state Of Arizona with i'm.
proper or foreign licenses that
should be registered in this state.
The owners Of these cars have
about 30 days in which to change
their ways, because added pen.
alties will fall TO them if the
highway patrolmen pick them
up. Drivers of vehicles without
proper drivers licenses had bet.
ter take warning and get them.
Arizona's motor vehicle laws
have not been taken seriously.
Many Of the local authorities
have been TOO busy to- enforce
them. The motor vehicle de.
partment has not had enough
inspectors to cover the field.
That is going to change. The
legislature wants the motor laws
of Arizona enforced and the state
patrol will be ont to do it. II
might be a good thing to study
no on Arizona's motor Ia We some
of the things you hsve gotten
Into the bad habit Of doing may

The LABOR PRo6LeM

The Arizona Highway Depart
ment has been doing everything
ID its power to help the labor
situation in Arizona. For many
months it has been working with
the aim always 10 sight of keep
ing as much highway construc
ton work under way as there
would be money available to pay
for it when the work was com
pleted.
Far in advance OF the appro.
priation by the federal govern.
ment Of the emergency aid for
highway work, the Arizona de
partment had surveyed and com
pleted plans so that it could take
immediate advantage OF the
Rovernment's offer when it came.
The result OF that is, that Ari
zons will use all of its quota of
this money and will be able to
use more if it is available.
But the department. has labor
ed under many handicaps. The
worst Of them in the forepart Of
the present year was that it
could not force the contractors
to use Arizona citizens on federal
aid projects, with the result that
many contractors on construction
work in the state were using
"foaters" who would work for
any wage and who kept Arizona
citizens from getting work that
the department had planned
would be available for them.
The concession of the govern
ment ID permitting Arizona to
write q citizen clause in all con
tracts and enforce = minimum
wage Of four dollars per day has
corrected that evil and highway
department inspectors are see
ing that no one is employed on
highway work in the state ex
cept citizens of at least one years
residence.
Applications have been receiv
ed by the departments labor
bureau from all that desired ia
apply until today they have
over 13. Goo 0<applicants for work
in all vocations. These applica
tionS have been filed and index
ed according to their qualities
tions and the labor department.
furnishes the contractors on
highway work lists of applicants
qualified to do whatever class oi
work is needed.
The state is doing all that it
can to help Arizona citizens to
get work. It private citizens,
corporations aud industries
would give the same kind of co
operation the labor situation ia
Arizona could be greatly reliev.
ed. but as long as the private
employers continue to hire other
than Arizonans to do their work
little real progress can be &C
complished. d.-Arizona Highways

GEORGE WASHINGTON AND THE
CONSTITUTION

| One of the most momentous
gatherings ever to convene on
this continent assembled in Phi
ladelphia, May 25, 1887. It was
the Constitutional Convention
which was called by the Con.
tinental Congress to consider the
amendment OF the Articles of
| Confederation or the creation of
q new instrument OF government
by which the United States
might be better consolidated and
the public affairs more efficiently
administered.
! The foremost men of the couu
try were there, but cons picuous
above all the rest was George
Washington. the former Com
fmaDder-in- Chief of the Cont
mental armies under whose lead
ership independence had been
won. It was inevitable that be
should take q leading part in
erecting q suitable government
for the country be had saved.
and as soon as the convention
could organize be was unani
mously called up to the chair
as President Of the body"
The Division of Information
and Puolica tion of the United
States George Washington Bi
centennial Commission notes the
Importance of this date in the
history of this country, and calls
attention to the fact that it is to
be the occasion for suitable cere
monies in connection with the
nationwide celebration next
year of the Two Hundredth An
niverssry of the Birth Of George
| Washington.
| The bicentenary observance Of
the birth of the First President
has been planned to extend to
| every corner of the United
/ States. It will begin on Febru
ary % and continue until the fol
lowing Thanksgiving Day. Il
will embrace every phase OF
4 Washing tons life and includesin
ITS programs the recognition of
bis great services to this country
The records Of the Convention
consisting OF the official journal
ard the unofficial shorthand
no'es>made by James Madison,
record only one occasion when
Washington made q suggestion
in the Convention Is TO . point
in the Constitution. There can
be no doubt, however, that be
was in constant touch with the
leaders Of the Convention and
that his counsel was taken upon
many important clauses Of the
document as finally completed.
1t is impossible to overestimate
the influence George Washington
welded in the framing of the
Constitution. The part be play
ed in the creation OF this great
instrument of government did
not consist of impassioned ora
tory tr specious argument. It
was solely the silent influence of
an nuasssilable character.
When the delegates came to
thu Convention many of them
were determined not to surrender
the suthority Of the separate
Stat, to any form Of central
government; but the realization
that George Washington would
e the first executive under the
Constitution led them to abandon
,htir objections and confer on
the President more power than
they at first; had any idea of
granting. It may be said that
the Presidency of the United
! States was created With George
Washington as the ideal type of
man who should fill that Office.

OTTAWA. Feb. 20-P-Automo-
bile manufacturers in the United
States faced an increased tariff
barrier at the Canadian border to-
day.
An ordcr-in-councIl, announced
BY z. p. Ryckman, minister of
finance, fixes 20 per cent as the
maximum discount below list price
that will be allowed in determining
valuation for tariff.
Heretofore the discount of list
price has ranged as high as 80 per
cent.
The order was issued In response
ID a demand from Canadian auto
mobile manufacturers that a limit
be placed on the discount 10 pro-
tect the Canadian industry and its
workers against competition from
the United States.
Canadian manufacturers have
assured the government that the
increased tariff will not result In
higher retail prices for Canadian
built cars.
Representatives OF Canadian mo-
tor car companies said the 20 per
cent discount maximum would
stimulate the industry and have a
beneficial effect on employment.
