DEMAND TAX SLASH
Group Believes Cut Would
End Unemployment.

Plans for reduction of the high
cost of government we're discussed
Thursday night at a modern Bos-
ton tea party at the Antlers, when
125 organizers Of the Marion County
Association for Tax Reduction met.
The depression would be ended,
said Leslie Colvin, chairman, if all
wasteful governmental expenditures
were slashed.
Cost Of government in this coun-
try this year will be around $14,-
600, 00O, 900. If that we're cut to seven
billions, which probably is all that
is necessary. We would have seven
billions for private enterprise. Sew
en- billions would pay seven million
men $1,000 year each" said Col
win.
Our total unemployed is estimat-
at somewat more than seven mill
lion. So this one possible relief
practically would end unemploy-
ment, and bring a return of pros
perity."

Veterans to List Men Resi- dents for Blood
 Transfusion

. Whether the addition to the Dug out headquarters of the Juneau Post of the American Legion, will be erected on contract or by the volunteer labor of members of the organization will be determined at it's next meeting, April IA Cost of the improvement, if let on contract, has been ascertained, but the vet erans are not of one mind as to whether they can afford the mone- tary outlay
 Final Vote Next Meeting
 The matter was discussed at the regular meeting of the Post last night. A final vote on the issue will be taken at the next meeting.
 At the suggestion of a prominent and surgeon of the city, the Post voted in favor of listing men residents of the community who would be willing to offer their blood for transmission purposes, when such emergencies arise. The listed persons with the noted nature of their blood would be catalogued so as to be available when required by the medical profession.
 Sometimes Not Obtainable
 Now, when there is necessity for doctors are often both cred and delayed in getting the needed supply, and sometimes have failed to obtain it at all
 The Legion will endeavor to en- list other organizations in the mat ter.
 One new member, Alexander J. zuboff, was initiated last evening.
 Regular meetings of the Juneau Post have been set for second and fourth Thursdays of every month.

WET AND DRY PLEBISCITE NOT FAR
 AWAY.

The Literary Digest poll of 2000O0O0 votes on Prohibition may not be conclusive test of the status of public opinion on that subject but it is enough to raise very strong presumption that the American people are convinced that the time has arrived to discard the noble experiment a failure. It is so expressive that there ought not longer to be doubt in the mind of any that the time has arrived for resubmssion of the Eighteenth Amend ment and it ought to be submitted in such way that the country might get adequate measure of popular sentiment on the subject
 If it might be discovered that a substantial majority of the American people are opposed to the retention of National Prohibition we cannot conceive of Americanism that would insist upon retaining it in the Constitution upon the technical ity that it requires threefourths of the States to change the Constitution The threat has been made that the drys will not consent to the change in the Constitution no matter what the majority against 1t, until thrty-six States ask for it. That is tech nleally their right under the Constitution The provision that an amendment to the Constitution must be ratified by three -fourths of the States was intended to prevent radical departures from the regular order being made lightly The very fact that under the strict terms of the Constitu- ton thirteen small States could force thirty-five large States to accept dstasteful living conditions
The Daily Alaska empire., 1932-03-25

makes it very clear that the Constitution makers had no such situation in mind as that made by Prohibition
 However if recognized plebiscite showed that la majority of the American people are opposed to Prohibition the Eighteenth Amendment would be as dead as door-nail-pa particularly in those States where the adverse majorities registered. It is almost that dead in most sections of the country. But if vote of the country could be registered against it the people very likely would follow the example of Finland. The vote there was regarded mandate to the Parliament to repeal the Prohibition laws, and caterers, without waiting for the lawmakers to act, immediately began to dispense beer and other liquor publicly
 The United States is the only country in the world that has even technical Prohibition Other countries that have tried and abandoned it are Finland Canada, Norway, Sweden Russia and Fur key. If the American people ever get vote on it she too, will undoubtedly discard it, and the sentiment against it has reached such proportions that some sort of referendum cannot long be de layed In fact many who still listed dry, are urging modification in the hope that something might be saved for their side before the people insist on throwing the whole thing overheard.

Other BoOtleggers-
Seattle Times. )

tSeatte TlmeS) Washingtons five-cent tax on gasoline is rapidly building up a bootleg enterprise second only in importance to that pertaining to liquor. Gasoline is evading the tax at many distributing points and in large quantities The statement is seriously made by reputable dealers that if the State Highway Fund now collecting taxes all the gas sold it would have more money than it would know what to do with
 The law makes evasion of the tax absurdly simple The tax does not apply, for example, to gasoline for export. launch loads up a thousand gallons at a Seattle pier for export to British Columbia few miles out it changes it's mind, comes back to another wharf and sells the fuel to of the re- tailers who are bootleggng gasoline and who, by avoiding the tax enabled to undersell tax paying stations and still make more money than the latter. Or tanker if so minded, can take on a full load from an independent producer at some California port at cost of around Az cents gallon, unload it at any Puget Sound port, and have it disposed of in the illegitimate manner.
 In these circumstances, and since by general consent the present high tax is wholly unnecessary from the standpoint of highway needs it is obvious that the Legislature should reduce the tax to point which would cause the rapidly growing army Of booteggers to lose interest in the game This would also save millions of dollars to Washington motorists, who are much more clearly entitled to it than the bootleggers.
 On all accounts, then reduction is the proper course rather than diversion of any portion of the scent tax receipts to other purposes such as have been suggested from various sources around the State.

STEAMSHIP MEN LEGION DEBATES EXPECT HEAVY ( ONTRACT FOR| TRAVEL N0RTHDUC0UT WORK
Admiral Officials Point to Olympic Games and
 Conventions

Tn consequence of the Olympia Games, which will be held at Los Angeles and as result of con- ventions of numerous national or ganizations, which are scheduled for Pacific Coast cities, tourist travel to Alaska this year will be much heavier than it was last year, I. J. James, Assistant Gen. eral Passenger Agent of the Pacif- ic Steamship Company, with head quarters in Seattle, states in a letter to Brice Howard, Juneau agent of the navigation line.
 Rail Change Helps
 A change in railroad regulations in the States also will operate to the advantage of Alaska MT. James explains. Heretofore, under the so- called Shasta Arbitrary Rule, trav- elers from Eastern States to Cali fornia could not return home by way of the Pacific Northwest States without payment of extra fares Now round trip tickets be- tween the East and the West are interchangeable on any railroad without extra expense and travel CTS from Eastern States may re- turn home by any route they de- sire. Many that come West by way of the central and southern lines will go back East by the Pa cific Northwest systems. Once in the Northwest, not a few of these. travellers will take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy Alaska excursions.
 Inquired About Prospects
 MT, Howard wrote MT. James asking him about the prospects for Alaska tllrist travel this year In reply MT James says:
 There are many factors which go to create the impression that traffic to Alaska this year will be greatly improved. Among these are the Olympic Games, several large which are to be held on the Pacific Coast this year, and also the fact that the Shasta Ar bitrary, under which it has cost people a considerable amount of money to visit the entire Pacific Coast, is eliminated. so that we may reasonably expect nearly sall persons coming to the Pacific Coast this year to include the Pacific in their trip.
 We feel confident that large of these people being at the door of Alaska in connec- tion with their trip to the Coast will not miss the opportunity of l Alaska.
 Capacity List for Dorothy
 "The first large party we will 1 take into Alaska this year will be capacity list on the first ] sailing of the Dorothy Alexander, l which will make the trip all the | way through from California.
 "The June 24th trip of the Dor othy Alexander will of course have | 3 capacity list of Rotarians.
 "The Admiral Rogers from Seat 5le August II will again have the University of Oregon, and this too will be a capacity list.
 Another item of interest is that | this year not only the Dorothy l and Admiral Rogers but | also the Queen will connect at Vic toria, B. C., northbound each trip with the California vessels, thus adding to the excursion ] traffic from California"
