 Hon. w. H. Holmes, of Amar- illo, Texas, who is wellknoWn in the North, because of his long residence in Alaska, was promi- nent in the Washington news papers last week. As a factor in the Republican politics of his adopted state, he was the nomi- nee for Governor in 1928 and aided largely in carrying the state of Texas for President Hoover. He is now urging the Republican organization of Tex as to induce the Navy Depart ment that the name of the se- cond giant dirigible, sister ship to the Akron, should be the Am arillo, from which city comes the only available supply of he Hum gas to infate this ship. That MT. Holmes is still vitally interested in Alaska is evidenced from a recent article in the Am arillo News. It refers to a re- cent address made before the Lions Club, declared to be one of the most interesting talks ever made before that organization. Among other things, MT. Holmes said:
 "The biggest surprise the citi- zen from the states would get in Alaska, is it's climate. It's plen- ty cold in winter but the sum- mers are hot and the climate is ideal for farming. If Alaska had 6 market or could export it's products it would rank as one of

Its principal in custries today are salmon, min ing and furs-in the order nam | cd. Alaska expects no great in crease in population for many years, or until the Western United States is developed"
 It is stated that the Army General Staff is giving continu- ed study to the reorganization of Americas coast defenses. It is deemed essential that more ad- equate protection be established in Alaska, as that section, with the possible exception of the Philippines, would be the hard est to defend. Plans will be kept in abeyance, however, until after the next Geneva armaments conference, at which President Hoover hopes he will be able to reach agreements for sweeping changes in world armaments.
 The plans in a general way contemplate the concentration of more aircraft and antiaircraft material at vulnerable points an entirely new scheme of de- senSe employing the other ele- ments of the Army and Navy. The many successful flights from Alaska to the Asiatic mainland have convinced the Army Board of Strategy that in

 Major Ballaine talked to the AlaSka-Yukon Pioneers last night.

Washington Newslette,

Seventeen of the resident painters of Juneau have sent ir
 a protest against the firm that
 has the contract for painting
 the new Federal and Territorial
 building. It is claimed that on ly six dollars per day is being paid master painters and foul
 dollars to helpers, while the pre-
 vailing scale at Juneau is eight and six dollars. The contract provides that the prevailing
 local scale should be paid and Delegate Wickersham has sub
 mitted the matter to the Treas ury Department, with the result that the Supervising Architect is Investigating the matter and an increased wage may be order ed.
 Edwin P. Dillon, of Ketchikan, served his country during the recent World War but has nev-
 CT been able to secure his certi-
 ficate of discharge. He was ac-
 cepted for enlistment July 26,
 1918, at the American Embassy, London, but he had previously been a member of the British military forces and thru some technicality his enlistment was not completed before peace was declared. The matter has been taken up by the Delegate with The War Department but the kdjutant Generals Office de- cides that MT. Dillon's enlist ment in the U. s. Army was nev- CT completed, and consequently there is now no authority to furnish him a certificate of dls~ charge therefrom.

Up Pop the Gillnetters

Representative of Astoria gillnetters were present and ap- proved the plan" as yesterdays Oregonian stated in regards to their news item relative to the Vancouver meeting of the Wild Life League held last Wednes- day, to protest fish traps and stationary gear in general use amongst commercial fishermen on the lower Columbia River.
 We, who are dependent upon the fishtrapS, of the lower Co., lumbia might have known that the selfish interests of the As toria gillnetters would have been represented at meeting of this nature; We might have known that this meeting would walk right into their hands, and that they could offer themselves as a very useful tool in working towards the end of fish traps.
 Cannot sportsmen and the general public note just why the gillnetters should follow out the program of the Wild Life League, If not, let us bestow upon you the knowledge =. .gillnetters. end particularly the Astoria boats, have been hot enemies of fishtraps since there has been these two distinctive methods of catching fish on this great river of ours. Why? For the very simple reason that the fshtraps catch fish that they might have caught if the f1shtraps were con- demned as a legal means ot commercial fishing.
 Just as an example of the un fairness rendered by the gillnet- terS towards traps, let us state that fishtraps are contrivanceS erected by citizens of the United States of America; they catch fish in a humane way if there is such a way, they don't obstructI what the government engineers deem as navigable waters, as they are within bays or shadows with very few exceptions; they do not catch the fish as is be- lieved by majority of the sports men, by tons upon tons everyI day; they do not catch trout, as their gear is made of meshes from four to eight inches in width, allowing all the small fish to escape.
 These are just a few remarks | regarding the legality of fish traps, and constitute the truth. | Seemingly the sportsmen have been confronted with weird ideas regarding the fishtrap due to the various enemies of that class of gear. It is now up to the fishermen of fishtraps to in-

 IGNORANCE DISPLAYED
 If the editor of the Chinook
 Observer knows anything about
 fish traps, if he even saw one in practical operation, his ideas of what constitutes the truth as to
 the effectiveness of the fishtrap as a destroyer of all kinds of fish would be absolutely opposed to his preesnt position.
 For instance, fiShtrapS are so constituted and constructed as to destroy virtually every kind of
 fish, large and small that en terS it. This observation is not a mere assumption of theory, but an observation born out by Sev eral years of experience around floating and stationary f1Sl traps.
 Fish traps work A hours pS
 day; fishing when the salmon are going and coming and ono; the salmon are in the trap, they remain until brailed out. The gillnetter makes a drift ant quite often, the man on the up- per reaches of waters gets more fish than the man on the low CT. The chance of escape from a net is far greater than the trap.
 As to the catches of traps, we have seen traps brailed 100000 and more salmon taken out ev- cry day until over a million fish had been removed. We have never seen the equal of tishtrapS as destroyers of salmon and we have seen every kind of gear and personally operated them.
 If the Wild Life League, and the Isaac Walton League, had even a vague idea of the destruc | tive efficiency of the fish traps they would never rest until ev ry trap was abolished.
 Such men as the editor of the Observer made up the policy of l King John and such men as the gillnetters it was who compelled l King John to grant that famous institution of liberty and justice 1 the Magma Charta. And it was because of the fighting vassals that today the gillnetters of the Columbia River, on a short rive: front earn in proportion more than lesser number of Alas kans with thousands of miles of shore lines and more than ten times the Columbia River pack

 In addition to the gangster cases, Johnson has prosecuted number of big political graft cases in Chi cago and scored convictions.

 Johnson is smiling and affablc, but he prefers not to talk about himself or his record as a prosecu- tor.
 "T would rather fight gangsters with indictments and convictions than with interviews" he says. "If words could drive the Gangsters out of Chicago. they would have been gone long ago"
 But he let you know he views his problem from a philosophical angle. The great menace he sees

ment through Senator Deneen of Illinois and although Deneen was no longer in the senate when John- sons four-year- term expired last year, President Hoover renamed him for another term.
 He was born 57 years ago in Webster county, Iowa, where his father, John Johnson, settled after emigrating from Sweden. His father learned to speak English after ar- irving in this country. He was grad uated from Lake Forest in 1900 and the same year he married and came to Chicago to practice law.
 There is a unique story behind George E. o. Johnson's name. He was christened just plain George Johnson. Among his Swedish neighbors in Iowa in those. days there were lot of George John sons," so at an early age his father "a great admirer of Ralph Waldo Emerson-renamed him George Emerson Johnson to avoid con- fusion
 This got along very, well until George E. Johnson came to Chicago and found nthe telephone book and city directory filled with other George E. Johnsons. Something had to be done about that, so to meet this critical situation he gave himself the additional initial @" and thus became George E.. 0. John- son.
 What does it stand for?" he is often asked.

is, only Az per cent of her budget came to us, while military and naval expenditures took IA per cent. In Italy the comparison is even more striking. Its payments to the United States are only six-tenths of 1 per cent of her entire budget, while more than or1e-quarter, 25.4 per cent goes to preparations for mass mur- der. So in Rumania, so in Poland. Only in Germany Is the proportion reversed; its military and naval ex- penditures-still much to high constitute 11.6 per cent of the total. whereas for reparations and eternal war charges Germany is assessed no less than 22.04 per cent of its out go. If the mere forgiving of these smaller sums for one year can thrill the whole world, set every market to throbbing. and specially cause to rejoice the nations of Europe, what would not be accomplished if the insane waste of money in prepara- ton for killing were brought to an end-or even cut in half?"
 The editorial recommends that President Hoover either directly or through Secretary of State Stimson arrange with Premier Macdonald and his Foreign Secretary Hender- son a reduction of armaments pro- gram to be present jointly in the name of the two great Anglo-Saxon countries at the very outset of the Geneva conference. This suggestion is the more interesting and valuable since Oswald Garrison Willard, has been widely credited with suggesting the chequers conference between Prime Minister Macdonald and Chancellor Bruening, which has even resulted now in the suggestion that there should be Paris chequers conference between the Germans and the French. MT Willard is strongly of the belief that if Mir Hoover should act on it's suggestion, France would find itself practically in minority of one at the Geneva conference on the question of radical

murder merely good riddance of bad rubbish. Unpunished gang murders breed contempt for law and enable a gang chief offering money to a professional killer for a murder to say: Look how safe it is!'
 Johnson has figured in a number of spectacular cases since he be- came district attorney, but one Of the most aggressive was in JanU- ary, 1929, when federal agents un- der his direction invaded and seized the whole town of Chicago Heights, riotous suburb. Arriving at dawn they took over the city hall, the po- lice S. station, jailed the police force and raided practically every house in town. They confiscated guns, rifles, ammunition. smashed liquor stills and breweries and made nu- merous arrests.
 Chicago Heights was gang stronghold. Prior to that raid the village had had 62 murders in five years. Since that raid it hasn't had any murders.

The French attitude toward dis. armament, war debts, payments and other European countries is warmly defended in an article in the same issue of the Nation, entitled, "The Enemy of Mankind" by Albert Guer- ard, distinguished Franco-American scholar. Mr Guerard points out that France wishes peace and dis armament, but she believes that these objectives must be based on world organization. The writer up- holds the French nation as a respec- ter of international law and denies that the militarization of Poland, Jugoslavia and Rumania was at the instigation of France.
 "The enemy of mankind' is neith- CT France nor Germany, neither Russia nor America. Right and wrong never exactly coincide with political boundaries. The enemy of nor radicalism; both are healthy tendencies. The enemy of man kind is pig-headedness masquerad- ing as determination. The French who declare Never shall we permit the Anschluss' are the enemies of mankind. So are the Americans who say: Never shall we consider the League of Nations, the war-debt problem, race equality, the recogni- ton of Russia So are the British who maintain: Never shall we admit the freedom of the seas.' Such tern, unbending, old d-Roman atti- tude may win cheap plaudits; but the refusal to think, the refusal to discuss, is a confession of weakness" concludes MT Guerard.
