VISITING LEGISLATORS AND ALASKA

Juneau will today welcome another delegation of Congressmen and other Feocral officials from the National Capital She is glad to be their host These recurring vists of those who make governmental policies very valuable to Alaska, because they add to the personal interest and knowledge of the visitors. The a member of Congress knows about the Territory the better it is for all con cerned.
 The greatest need in Alaska is wider powers of self-g government Alaska ought to have a full Ter ritorial form of government. Doubtless Delegate James Wickersham will introduce a measure con ferring upon the people of Alaska such powers as the other Territories had before their admission States Years ago he prepared such measure and introduced it in Congress. similar measure ought to become law No is better qualified in every way to prepare such law and to advocate its passage by Congress than the Delegate, and The Empire belives he will do his part. We believe that large majority of the Senators and Repre- sentatves who have visited Alaska in recent years will support it when properly prepared and pre- sented.
 However, until we get more self-government we must depend almost wholly upon laws of Congress and regulations by the Executive Departments For that reason, if other, glad to have the lawmakers and regulators come to see us.

Mexican Policy Change Nov
 Protects Large Landowners

MEXICO CITY, July 21-The 20- year-old agfarian issue, mainstay of all successful political and social upheavals since the dictatorship of Diaz, at last is meeting with a changing governmental attitude.
 President Ortiz Rubio told Con- gress that something would have to be done toward giving agricultur- al interests guarantees against land seizures.
 A few years ago such proposal might have caused the peasants to rise in arms.
 Proof of the fact that Mexico has calmed down is to be found in Congress rapid approval of a cor rective measure presented by the President.
 The measure exempted most re- maining large agricultural proper ties from seizure and division.
 Thus those landowners can be sure that if they plant crops the land, crops and all, will not bt turned over to their farmhands.
 Gonzalo Bautista. a member oi Congress, opened the public eye tC the country's decrease in crop: when he presented to the cham Der of deputies official figures tt show that the output of corn anc beans, the country's prime necessi' ties, had dropped in 1929 and 193| to not much over one-fourth of tht output in 1910, Porfirio Diaz's las year in office.
 Decreased production was attrib uted to two principal results of tn agrarian law; that large landown CTS hsaitated to plant in view O the possibility of losing their lan' before the crops could be harvest ed, and that peasants to whom lan' has been distributed in small par cels, either could not finance crop for lacked initiative to work tn lands efficiently, ',i*

 LIGHTNING RAGE IN VACUUM TUBE
Purdue sity An nounces Beam with
 Speed All its Own
By Howard w. Blakeslee

LAFAYETTE, Ind, July 21.- Purdue university has an electron beam, a stream of electrons, which starts faster than lightning. It is used to record lightning striking a power wire.
 The lightning comes over the wire in surge which passes in a few millionths of a second, and the job. of the beam is to record as much of this surge as possible.
 So fast does it work that if the lightning surge were represented by six-foot man running past a point, the length of his big toe is about all that would get by be- fore the beam began recording his presence.
 Judges Stand
 The judges stand" in this race the place where the electron beam operates, is a metal tube 24 inches lon, it's interior vacuum. The tube, known as the cathode-ray is the essential part of an oscillo- graph developed by R. H. George research assistant in electrica engineering at Purdue.
 The oscillograph is connected with the power line wires, As the passing lightning reaches the tube

A Sub-P arliament.
(Mancester Guardian.)

MT Winston Churchill has given to the Select Committee on Parliamentary Procedure a rather fuller outline of his plan for economic sub parliament He suggests that it should consist of 120 members, forty to be members of the House of Commons, twenty members of the House of Lords, and the remainder business men, economic authori- ties and trade unionsts It would not be elective body, but would be chosen by the party leaders, and it's members would hold office for three years without regard general elections AS to it's func- tions, MT. Churchill proposes that all bills dealing with trade and industry should, after their second reading, be automatically referred to it. Its powers would be limited to criticism and recommendation leaving the final supremacy of Parliament untouch- ed. The sub parliament might also, he thought, in- itiate inquiry and discussion upon any economic or commercial question and report it to either House of Parliament upon it.

the electricity throws vacuum switch, which signals the electron beam to start it's race. But the beam cannot start until an elec- trical barrier is raised on it's minia- ture 24-inch track. Technically this barrier is a change in polarity of metal plates which direct operation of the beam
 Fine Handicap
 Four -millionths of a second is re- quired for the polarity to change That is the handicap which the passing lightning has over the little beam. Once in operation the elec- tron light falls pencillike upon a photographic plate at the opposite end of the tube, and traces curve depicting graphically the power and the duration of the lightning stroke
 The success of the device rests in a special circuit developed by the Purdue men. They are able tc cause the electricity operating the beam to rise to it's maximum point and start the beam in about one eighth the time reqired by the lightning to reach it's highest peak O. electromotive force.
