To Help Swing.


Joyce Wethered has offered an
admirable suggestion to help i'm
plant the idea of a natural swing
in the players mind. She sug-
gests that one stand fairly upright with
both heels together and then start
swinging the club head around and
down, Is If a golf ball were there. per-
hitting the weight to move with the
swing. One Of the greatest Of all
golfers, Miss wethered says this system
of practice or training has helped her
more than almost any other single de-
tail.
In the first place, a natural, fairly
upright stance with the heels together
relieves most of the tension in the body.
In the second place, it Is method that
leads TO swinging, rather than to lung
ing or smuggling In fact, it is almost
impossible TO lunge or slug from tins
stance without topping over or losing
balance almost completely. The idea is,
the left side turn and most Of the
weight travel to the right with the back
swing, then now TO the left with the
down swing. II one can work at this
IS or 20 minutes a day 1t Is q much
simpler matter to discover at last just
what the gold club should be like and
feel like. Under this test the club head
gets much greater freedom and travels
at faster pace, because 1t isn't inter
fered with by any violent or sudden
body acton.
Closer Feet.
TT might be recalled that Bobby Jones
i keeps his feet closer together during
the swing than any other star. This
let's him use much less body tension.
For this reason he can also keep more
weight on the left foot at the top OF
the swing than most golfers carry,
which means that he has less weight
transference TO look after. The golfer
who stands with his or her feet wide
apart will be more likely to ind weight
shifting hsEder problem.
And the Same golfer viii be more
likely to ind his entire system replete
with tension. Bobby Jones, OF course,
is built for this type of stance. Jim
Barnes would find II almost impossible,
what with his 6 feet inches to handle
on such narrow foundation or plat
! form.

JURY REVISION
 PROVIDED FOR
 IN WYNN BILL
House Speaker Seeks to Codify and Amend Ex-
 isting Jury Laws

Revision Of the Alaska jury syS- tenn is aimed at in a measure which was introduced in the House today by Speaker Grover c. Vim, which codifies all the existing jury sta- tutes and adds certain new provis- ions designed to meet certain al leged defects in the system.
 The main change proposed is to require the names of all persons voting in the preceding general election to be deposited in the jury boxes instead of a limited number as at present. Provision is made for rejecting names by the Judge of the Court but a minute order must be made of any such procedure.
 Other Bills Presented
 This was one of three bills intro duced in the House today. A meas ure by MT. Allyn, Nome, seeks to exempt from municipal tax levy property not used for commercial purposes, owned by associations of ex-service persons. A bill provid- ing for an appeal from the United States Commissioners Courts to the district court in certain cases, was introduced by MT. Vim. MT. Bro- sius introduced bill appropriatine $50 to defray the costs of moving the Territorial Library and Mu- scum from it's old quarters lnt1 the Capitol building.
 The House this morning passed measure providing for the recover! of public money, funds or propertl illegally diverted.
 Labcr Measure Introduced
 In a resolution introduced by MI Johnson, Ketchikan, today, prefer ence. to Alaska labor on publi works is urged as public polio and the Alaska Inter-departmenta Commission, composed of Gov Parks. Commissioners Charles | Flory and Dennis Vim are aske to take steps to bring apou0 LII object.
 The resolution calls attention the recent order of the Commls sioner requiring the use of Alask materials on public works and dt clares that certain public works c which unskilled labor is largely en ployed has been awarded to Gu side contractors who, it is reporte are bringing in many unskilled Il borers to perform the work.
 It adds. Tt is the sense of tn Legislature that the rule adoptt by the Inter departmental Con mission as to materials extended to include the workil men of the Territory of Alasl likewise, and that all contrac concerning public works on roat buildings and otherwise, to be pc formed in this Territory, snou stimulate Alaska labor be utiliz wherever possible"

salary, heartily endorsed the all- Alaska Chamber of Commerce and expressed a hope that it might be- come permanent institution. He stressed the need for community planning to meet a lower industrial and economic status which, he pre- dicted, the Territory would face next winter and spring. Alaska never has had, doesn't want and I am sure never will have a bread linee he asserted. He said. how ever, history has established that Alaska's depression trough always occurs the year following the same period in the States, and that de- creased cannery and other fishery operations during the approaching season would be reflected in local conditions next year.
 The Governor declared that Alas ka's coast towns, through their chambers of commerce ought to get better acquainted with each ether and the other sections. He suggested biennial goodwill tour for that purpose, with Ketchikan Wrangell, Petersburg, Juneau and other Southeast Alaska towns send ing delegates to join others at Cordoya, Valdez, Seward and An chorage to a final meeting place at Fairbanks. This, he pointed out would bring the different sections into closer contact with each other and give them more intimate knowledge of the Territory as a whole. A journey of the kind sug- gested even to Nome would be fine thing, but the time required probably would make it prohibitive he added.
 An Undivided Alaska
 One of the great needs of the Territory today is a union of minds and purposes, declared Senator Hess in a short but forceful and graceful talk. Alaskans ought tt think of Alaska as a unity, not by Division or by district, but 1T terms of the whole, he added. 75
 He, also, endorsed the all-Alas- ka Chamber of Commerce project praising the local Chamber for 1t untirine efforts to bring about It! reaaization. He expressed his per sonal pride in Juneau as the capi' tai city of Alaska, with it's pavee streets, it's great mines, and pro gressive spirit, and in the beauti ful capitol in which the Leglsla tnre is now holding it's meetings On behalf of the Senate he voicet expectations for the Chamber courteous greetings and hospitalit. at the biennial dinner, which, h. said is becomin gan established in stitution.i ee>gys ss tefe I Winn Presents Legislators In witty phrases, Speaker Vim presented the entire membership 1 of the Legislature, each arising a his name was called.

Justice in Taxation

AS one means of making up the treasury deficit Of
nearly billion dollars Mr. Mellon suggests gasoline
tax The alleged merit of such tax rests chiefly on
the ease of collection the certainty of large rev.
enue from this source The objections to it are how
ever, conclusive.
Mr. Mellon evidently borrowed this idea from the
tax budget of Philip Snowden, chancellor Of the
exchequer in England. But the conditions not
comparable. In Britain motor still chiefly
the privilege of the rich and wellodo Relatively few
of the lower middle class and the working class
In England, therefore gasoline tax would be
chiefly a tax on the prosperous

100000 motor cars If we arrange these into
pyramid with Fords at the bottom, then Chevrolets
then higher priced until reached the relatively
few Rolls Royces and Duesenbergs at the top. we
should find this pyramid of motor cars in striking cor
relation with the pyramid Of incomes
Apply the gasoline tax proposal of MIR. Mellon to
this pyramid of cars and we find that the brunt of
the tax would fail on the many with relatively small
incomes-owners of Fords, Chevrolets, etc-and very
lightly on the rich tax gas would certainly harm
the oil industry the motor industry and the general
retail trade Hard pressed consumers paying this tax
would have less money with which to buy other
things.
Senators Boran and Couzens are nearer the right
track when they propose to meet the oeflcG by nger
inheritance taxes greater levies the higher income
brackets higher gift taxes and the like. This is in
direct accord with Adam Smiths principle of taxation
in proportion to capacity to pay 1t would in way
injure the retailer the wageearner or the farmer.
Mellon also suggests taxing lower incomes more
heavily and lower the tax exemptions But as Borah
has said this is tantamount to reducing wages
further weakening the already exhausted consumer
and widening the gap between the have and have

to American incomes of over half million year it
