PRIMARIES TO TEST
ROOSEVELT FORCES
Clashes With Smith, Garner
and Murray to Show
Voting Strength.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Plans for O searching three-way
analysis Of the vote-pulling power Of
Franklin D. Roosevelt are nearing COM
plstion In the testing laboratories OF the
Democratic party.
In closely-Spaced primaries In March
the New York Governors presidential
aspirations must meet three separate
challenges. On March in New Hamp-
shire his opponent Is Alfred E. Smith
On March IS In North Dakota he meets
Gov. william H. (Alfalfa BilD Murray
On March % In Georgia he contests
with Speaker John N. Garner.
Faces Real Ordeal.
Thus, In the space of about two
weeks. almost at the outset Of the pre-
convention campaign, Roosevelt will
undergo the extraordinary ordeal OF
running against an EaSterner in the
East, a Westerner in the West and q
Southerner in the South. Furthermore
the fastener is q former national
bearer, the WeSterner Is build
ing a far-f1ung campaign on western
issues and the Southerner is endowed
with the prestige of the speakership OF
the House.
If this test of Nationwide popularity
appears too severe, there are in each
instance offsetting considerations.
In New Hampshire Roosevelt was IN
the field far ahead of Smith, and has
committed to him much of the local
leadership of the party. He has a care
fully chosen slate of Roosevelt dele
gates, without contests among them
selves. whereas Smiths delegates over
lap and are running in some cases
against each other.
In North Dakota, too, Roosevelt has
the Endorsement of three party man
ayers and Murray Is dependent largely
on the fruits of a catch-as-catch-can
campaign.
Have Important Bearing.
Georgia not only was one of the
original Roosevelt States, claiming a
sort of favorite-son attachment be-
cause of the Governors frequent visits
to Warm Springs, but Garner will be
entered there only by proxy arrange
ment. :,
Whatever the results, the defeated
side will be able to explain that there
were special reasons, but it Is dis
puted question how far the ordinary
public goes behind the actual election
figures themselves.
If Roosevelt sweeps all of these
States the momentum Of his victory
undoubtedly will give great impetus to
the efforts of his friends as they battle
for the larger delegations to be chosen
in April If he loses them all the ac-
tivities Of the "Stop- Roosevelt" man
ayers may be expected to step up ac-
cordingly.
It may be, of course, that the results
will be wholly indecisive, but from this
distance March gives promise of writ
ing a prophetic chapter in party
history.

PUBLIC SURVEYS RECORD.

The fifty per cent reduction made by the House in the milon-dolar estimate for the United States Public Survey Bureaus work during the next fiscal year threatens to handicap one of the Governments most important tasks. Secretary Wilbur is right to protest against this cut which would seriously interfere with and interrupt one of the Governments funda- mental tasks and since the money is largely spent in the payment of wages to field workers, the net result would be to add to the current unemployment that Congress is avowedly seeking to relieve in any way that it practicable The records of the Interior Department under which the survey bureau operates shows that the proposed appropriation of $5OOOOO for the survey of the public domain one of the Gov ernment's hundred milion-dollar engineering jobs will cut that agencys working fund below any figure provided for it in than one-third of a cen tury Appropriations have run around $l,000000 year for the past two decades and have not run as low as that proposed since the period following the depression of 1893.
 The issue raised calls attention to of the large tasks of the Government which has been prosecuted so quietly through the decades that the average citizen hardly knows of its existence Few taxpayers realized that this hundred-milion- dollar undertaking has been under way constantly throughout their lives and that their tax money goes into it every year.
 The General Land Office holds that no task of government since George Washington has left so strong an imprint on the pnySlcal aspect oi ble nation This survey has laid the groundplan for the greater part of the nation, has determined the subdivisions, has located the roads through every Western countryside has been the basis for streets in towns and cities, has provided the foundation for determining property ownership. They believe it is the most important surveying job ever executed by
 The task began in 1785 when the new Govern ment took the public domain and began it's survey at Pittsburgh that it might be equitaby dis tributed settlers Never before had such an area been made available for distribution. The young Government mapped out its system of dividing its domain into townships and sections, based on lines of latitude and longitude, in such way that any tract could be simply described and would be the only piece of land in the world answering that description This has turned out to be the most perfect scheme of land identification ever devised
 The engineering task begun at Pittsburgh in l785 has contemplated placing marker at the each quarter section of land between that point and the Pacific Ocean. There were 100000 900 acres to be surveyed. After 157 years of work without cessation there remains l35,OOOO00, mere per cent, to be surveyed.

Alfred E. Smiths Candidacy.
oNew York world-Telegram0

Alfred E. Smiths announcement of his passive candidacy is all to the good Not because it neces- sarily will make MT. Smith the Democratic Presl- dential nominee but because it will prevent Governor Franklin D. Roosevelt any other candidate taking the nomination in walk-away and on his own terms
 The nomination should not go to any man by default MT. Smiths announcement will prevent one-man control of the convention. It assures the rank and file chance to consider and choose That is the democratic method; and it should be the Democratic Party method
 The effect of the Smith will be to make the pre-eonventon campaign real contest. Only in such contest the issues be brought out That is particularly true regarding Governor Roose- welt, who to date has been no more specific on issues than he has been forced to be. But it is also true of other candidates.
 MT. Smith is so colorful political figure that mo drab campaign is possible with him in it. Whether he kills it or not, things happen when he is in the picture.
 This does not mean, of course, that MT Smith is going out to campaign for himself. His state ment says specifically that he will not But his friends will be active in his behalf
 Why? We doubt that it is because his closest friends think he has much of chance of nomination election. But they do want him and the group he represents to have some voice in the convention. That is as it should be.
 MT Smith probably is powerful enough to split the Democratic Party if he were determined to rule or ruin. But there has been nothing to indicate that such is his intention The fact that he IS becoming a passive candidate on the urging of his friends, rather than an active candidate his own behalf, is pretty good proof that he is not trying to dictate his nomination
 Doubtless part of the explanation of MT. Smiths passive attitude is that he is not anxious to give the Republican campaign committee another op- portunity to use the forces of religious bigotry to help defeat his party and divide the country.
 MT. Smiths announcement will not put him in a good position to nominate himself, but it will put him in better position when the time comes to help choose nominee and platform representing his type of liberalism.

What a Centenarian Saw.

The fact that have lived little longer than most men is no cause for a lot of pomp," John R. Voorhis used to say when, at the age of 90 he was arranging for his funeral. Though he was public official in this city for fifty-eight years the fact that he lived into his 103d year gave the public it's greatest interest in him. MT. Voorhis had been Judge Police Commissioner, Excise .Commis- sioner and Dock Commissioner. He had been State Superintendent of Elections, and until few months ago was President of the Board of Elections. These things make a remarked above his fellows particularly in this politically minded town But it is the length of his life which will remem- Der.

BEST WISHES TO NEW INDUSTRY.

The best wishes of Juneau Capt. Woods in his undertaking to establish here shellfish packing industry. Those who ought to know agree that the enterprise is being launched under the most aus picious circumstances. Labor is abundant and req sonable. Raw materials ample enough in nearby waters to a plentiful supply of shrimp, crab and clans, all of which Capt. Wood expects to pack for marketing in Seattle.
 The announcement that 15 workers will be put on the payroll arrangements can be made to begin operations is welcome indeed While the number is not large it will give relief to the unemployment situation. If the business prospers as it ought to, more workers will be added. The new industry will aid business of all kinds here It should be given every encouragement. The local market which is not inconsiderable, absorb of it's products and Juneau people will do well to insist having only the home-packed goods when they become available.

 TO EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT.

In recent interview given Eastern newspaper men. Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt, leading candidate for the Democratic Presidential nomination. reaf- firned his opposition to the Eighteenth Amendment, saying he had not altered the position taken by him as revealed in a letter written to Senator Wagner in September, 1880, and made public by him. "The sentiments expressed in that letter are still my views on the Prohibition question today" he de- cared recently.
 The high points in the Wagner letter the Eighteenth Amendment has not furthered the cause of temperance. but on the contrary has sfostered excessive drinking of strong intoxicants" and has led to corruption and hypocrisy; that solution of the Prohibition debacle calls not for repeal of the Volstead Act or the Jones law but the abro

gation of the Eighteenth Amendment by the adop- ton of new amendment restoring to the States the right to control the use of intoxicants that every State should have the right to set up State agencies for the sale of ntoxicants; that States which wish to remain dry should be aided in keep ing intoxicants by the Federal Government that towns and villages should be permitted by local option to sanction or prohibit the sale of liquor; and that the saloon should be outlawed.
 Tn recent months there has been considerable comment on Gov Roosevelts silence on the Pro- hibition issue. In some quarters it alleged he was seeking to dodge it in the hope of winning Dry support. His re-affirmaton of the views set forth in the Wagner letter should effectualy answer these critics.
