Rustgard Rules
 On School Tax
School Tax Collector, Petersburg, Alaska.

PeJerSDurg, AlaSKa.
 Dear sir:
 This office is in receipt o1 yours of 10th instant inquiring whether or not a person em- p4oyee in contemplation of oul school tax law.
 Your question should be an swered in the affirmative. The owner of the boat, through the Captain, is the employer. The fact that the men are paid q shae of the net proceeds does not make them partners nor joint adventurers, they are still employees and the boat owner the employer. The share of the net proceeds which each re- ceives is his wages. This is too we'll settled to be worthy of any lengthy argument. Still I shall quote from a we'll recognized legal authority on the subject.
 "An employee, under con- tract giving him a share in the profits of his employers business as compensation for his ser vices, is not a partner of his employer, nor a joint adventur- CT, nor can he hold the en- ployer liable as trustee until, by the operation of the contract or otherwise, he secures legal title to specific property in the pos session of his employer. An em- ployee who is allowed has mere ly a right to his compensation, subject to such powers of dis nissal as the employer may ave under the contract. He has not proprietary right in the buSi- ness itself, no right to direct it's affairs, not even right to de- nand that his employer shall exercise reasonable skill and diligence in the conduct of hts business, although through his own negligence he may lose a share of the profits he would otherwise be entitled to-"
 This is sufficient to show that an employer on a halibut boat working on a share of a net profit is an employee, and the owner of the boat becomes liable to the Territory for the school tax under the statute here. in question.
 You will find the same ques- ton discussed by this office on Page PA of Volume 3 of the Opinions of the Attorney Gen. eral of Alaska, a copy of which volume I am sending you.
 Yours very truly
 JOHN RUSTGARD
 Attorney General.

clubs, being willing to take a pen alty of three or four tricks to pre- vent the opponents from going game. s- East recognized the bid as a psychic and he. considered it use less to double because North ob- viously had a safeS suit to bid after the double. East's next bid must be strongly constructive and must show his partner three things; first, that North's three no trump bid was a psychic; sec-i ond,s that East had. a hand Of great strength; third, that he had only moderate assistance in spades.
 This he accomplished by bid ding four no trump over North's three no trump. West responded with five diamonds another strongly constructive bid.
 East now knew that his partner held at least five diamonds and consequently that he must hold at least five spades. having bid that suit first. Therefore East had no hesitation in raising to five spades and West, in view of his partners constructive bid. carried the contract to six spades.
 The Play
 North opened with the jack of clubs and the declarer wisely went up with. the ace in dummy, refus- ing the finesse because he had nothing to gain even if 1t should win. A small heart was discarded from his own hand.
 West suspected from North's bid that he might be void of spades, so. he laid down the ace first to see how the land lay. His suspicious were confirmedd, so he finessing the nine spot. His next play was the ace of diamonds and when South dropped the jack. west continued with a small diamond.
 West reasoned that North had shown no strength in either spades, hearts or clubs, and there fore probably had a complete psychic, so he placed the king of diamonds with South. He played low from dummy and was lucky enough to have the king drop. South returned a heart which was allowed to ride to dummy's king, and another spade finesse en- abled the declarer to pick up all the trumps. He then led a small diamond to dummy's queen and the remaining cards in his own hand were good.
 Thus East. and West were able to bid and make their small slam, and North's psychic, far from confusing them, had given valuable inferences which assisted in mak- ing the contract.

The Bidding

The Bidding
 East and West were vulnerable while North and South were not. South passed and. West opened the bidding with one spade.
 North was entirely helpless against the spade contract. and knew his partner to be rather weak also. hence it seemed in- evitable that East and West would make . game, or possibly a slam, unless he could interfere in sonie way.
 At one table North did attempt to interfere by inserting bid of three no trump.
 This bid appears ridiculous. but it is . psychic Of we'll recognized type. Mrs P. H. Sims, the coun- try's leading authority on psychic because it erects a high barrier which interferes with the ex- change of information by the op- ponents.
 Of course North expected to be doubled at three no trump, in which case he would bid four

 Psychic bidding is one of the most widely discussed topics in contract bridge to-day. The past year has seen a large decline in its use; firstly, because it is too Frequently q boomerang which strikes back at the user, and sec- ondly. because skillful opponents are seldom deceived and usually find their way to the proper con- tract as though nothing had hap pened.
 The following hand, which was played in a duplicate game, shows an interesting form of psychic. and also illustrates how skillful opponents were able to defeat it's purpose.
