Freedom of Speech

that hypocrisy which is now so widespread among our people is an act, an achievement or a habit. x x *~"Give me liberty to know, to utter and to argue free- ly according to conscience, above all liberties" said John Milton. This is the doctrine and the only doctrine upon which free gov- ernment and free society can rest. M ! Prescriptions 1, black lists, demands that individuals be deprived of posts of honor and enolument because of their lack of conformity to some more CT less outrageous law or doc Urine .. are all vestigial re- mains of that older and wide spread h bit of persecution which is now so happily on the wane.

Tn the uni verSity at least there is freedom to seek the truth and to proclaim it as found or believed, provided only it be done with scholarly competence, sincerity and good. manners. The university be- comes in this way the ideal com munity where men and women move in an atmosphere of free dom, enjoy the stimulus of diff ference of opinion and view, and gain the inspiration which only the honest and earnest seeker after truth ever really knows"
 It is hard to reconcile the above quotation from Dr. Butler and the forced resignation and expulsion of MT. Harris, student editor of the Columbia Specta- tor who was pulled on the carpet for his honest criticism of poh- cies relating to the management Cf student athletics in that in stitution. All of which leads us to believe that liberty ond jus tice, freedom of speech and such doctrines are only lot of hooey for some while others enjoy the benefits thereof.

An 0rdinanceaIsa Law: Hence Must Be

A casual glance at the news prints shows a trend at ] reduc- tion of operating expenses in many cities. Wages being curtailed and operating costs and appropriations [ being cut.

 A casual glance at the ques- tion indicates that as a saving the idea presented by MT. Lockell is correct in principle. Under the ordinance the salary of the city-marshal-street commission CT was $175 per month and the work was carried out with not 2 few major improvements. Under the present unauthorized, might it be said illegal system,' = the city commissioner has been ,un- der a salary of $2OO per month and the fire, marshal's salary a: $125., or a total of $3900..

At .1,o point is there satisfaction ex- pressed because of the change. To make matters worse the sys- tenn does not pay back operations costs near so well as the cable system.
 If it is a scheme to sell Alas kans. the idea of getting rid of the cable system, that 7. scheme seems to be working out pretty we'll. At any rate the dissatis-

Minority Views By Hon. SirOvich and

The, undersigned members of the Committee on Merchant Marine, Radio and Fisheries are unable to approve the bill (H: R. 6483) to provide for the protec- tion of fish by requiring reports on the location of, canneries in Alaska, and prohibiting certain salmon unlawfully caught from being brought into the United States, and for. other purposes. and report thereon with a re- commendation. that it do not Lass. <. On December 21,. 1881, MT. Welchs of l. California introduced the following bill, which was re- ferred to the Committee on Mer- chant Marine, Radio, and Fish cries and ordered to be printed The body of the bill with amend ments, reads as~follows:
 That the act, entitled "An act for the protection of the fisheries oi Alaska, and for other pur- poses," approved June 6, 1924 GU. s. C., title 48, secs. 221-228) [, is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new sec tion:
 "Sec.. g. It shall be unlawful to operate any cannery within the jurisdiction of the United States in Alaska unless a report shall have been filed with the Secre- tary of Commerce not later than December of the preceding |calendar year, stating the pro posed place or location of opera tion, nor shall such cannery hc operated in more than one place or location in any calen- dar year: Provided; That in re- spect to operations in 1892 the required information regarding place or location of operations may be filed within thirty days after approval of this act"

H. R. 648S Hon. James Wickersham

fornia in the Seventy first Con- gress, third session, H. R. 1643O, Report Mo- 2480, referred to the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries, reported favor ably, but did not become a law.
 It was again introduced in this Congress by MT Welch, and ex- tensive hearings held on it by the committee. Many witnesses from Masks appeared in op- position to the bill and a cloud of telegrams and letters and petitions signed by Alaska fish ermen were filed before the com .mittee in opposition to it's ap- proval or passage. No witness or telegram or petition from the people or fishermen of Alaska was heard in it's favor and it was vigorously opposed by the resi- dent fishermen of Alaska, both union and nonuniOn.
 Limit of the Hearings
 While the bill on it's face ap- pears to be general in it's appli- cation in Alaska fisheries, all the witnesses supporting and oppos- ing the bill confined their testi- mony to that part of the Alaska fisheries and fishing conditions on Bristol Bay. This bay lies immediately north of the Alaska Peninsula, and by reason of the natural conditions there and the character of the fish resorting to the salmon spawning streams entering its waters, is the most valuable salmon fishery in Alas ka, and probably in the world But, little consideration was giv- en in the hearings to any Alaska fisheries outside of Bristol Bay, and it may fairly be said that the bill was drafted and sup ported by the nonresident can rery companies engaged in, the Bristol Bay area for the protec- tion of their special interests there.
 The proponents of the bill stated that 1t had it's origin with the Alaska Packers Association, San Francisco fishing corpora tion, with canneries in Bristol Bay. This company is subsidi- ary of the California Packing Corporation, also having is common headquarters in San Francisco. It is one of the largest fruit, fish, and food canning corporations in America, owning and operating many other sub- sidiary companies on the Pacific coast and in various parts of the United States, Canada, and the Philippine Islands.

Wireless Versus Cable

For the past several months the radio service has surpianted the old cable system connecting Alaska with the outside world. The radio system has had a very fair trial during that time. The personnel has measured up fully to their work and have been as assiduous about their duties and courteous as could be desired by the most critical. But experience has shown without 8 shadow of a doubt that radio. is much more slow in handling the business which comes to and from Alaska. The cable system permitted two or more messages going over the wires while the radio will permit but the one.
