(NeW York Y,yneS.)

(NeW YOrR t3nleSD
 In February, 1841 Henry J. Raymond, few days over 21, working The New Yorker, a literary weekly founded by Horace Greeley in 1884. New York History for October reprints letter written by him in that month to Robert s. Hale, an up- Slater who subsequently, went to Vermont where he Representative in Congress Later he was a Regent of the University of the State of New York From the office of The New Yorker at 30 Ann Street the future editor of The Times tells joyously of the rich rewards of newspaper men lr this town
 I like it pretty well-there's no great

 profitable: i e. writing IN. Y. Correspond

 What do the pampered minions of the con- temporary New Yorker think of those days of modest emolument? MT.

SHORTAGE OF READING MATERIAL
 LOOMS.

Are Alaskans to deprived Of of ther favorite reading matter after next Tuesday? That is a contingency that seems to loom in the fore ground as the result of the ruling just announced by the Post Office Department that this Territory, among others, is forbidden ground in so far as liquor advertising and liquors solicitation are con- cerned. That is papers magazines which carry liquor advertisements be sent by mail to Alaska. However there is hope that this ban will not apply to express shipments and good many of the periodicals and newspapers transported by ex- press rather than mail may not be forced to discontinue reading altogether.
 The postal authorities probably have ruled cor rectly from purely legal ground. But it a very foolish law that would ban from the mails to Alaska magazines carrying liquor ads when every one knows liquor be had without the slightest trouble right at home Its quality may not be all that is to be desired, but there is no reason to grumble about the quantity.
 We hope that the ban will be short-lived It will last only until the repeal of the National Prohibition Act and the Alaska Bone Dry Law. Congress ought to act promptly both Of these laws, wping them off the statute books without delay as soon as it convenes on January B.

Improved Alternatives.
Cleveland Plain Dealer.l


 Farm interests ask rather too much in the way lof price improvement in short period. Since the lend of March farm produce prices have increased 32 per cent the of the preceding twelve months The price of products which farmers buy has increased in the period only II per cent These figures indicate not only that the rate of price improvement has been rapid but that the dis parity between farm produce and other commodities has been reduced at a rapid rate also. In the face of this record it would seem most unwse for the Administration at Washington to turn to direct price fixing.
 It is unfortunate from many points of view that the early Summer rise in prices and improvement in industry so rapid. For the public led to believe that recovery would be uninterrupted and that only few months more would take back to the boom times of 1926.
 But instead of the disappointment that is felt lat this time at the failure of prices to continue their advance and of industry to maintain it's early Summer expansion rate, there should be qualification that have far as We have on the recovery road. In eight months a vertiabe transformation has come over the entire business Situation and outlook. This is not the time turn to improved alternatives.

LEGALITY OF NRA TURNS ON
 JUDICIAL PSYCHOLOGY.

The constitutionality of the National Recovery Act is largely question of judicial psychology" and there is nsuperable obstacle to it's being upheld, according to survey by the editors of The Harvard Law Review" Legal aspects of the act a subject of much controversy The article lays particular stress upon the effect of new legislation the antitrust laws and the status of labor
 No prophecy is made by the editors of the Supreme Courts decision to be rendered the con- stitutionality of the act They point out that the emergency caused by the depression may be used as ground for either overruling or distinguishing decisions which might otherwise serve basis for overthrowing the act
 A prophecy is made, however, that the codes for purely local businesses will be held unenforceabe.
 With regard to the extent of the modification of the antitrust laws the opinion held by many lawyers that the laws practically abolished be- cause of the N R. A. is rerudiated by the Review.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-12-02

The editors endeavor to show how the courts py adopting a modified rule of reason,' can allow industrial cooperation without opening the ooor to monopostic abuses by profiteers. They warn at the time of possible conflict with State industrial laws and stress necessity for new state legislation
 The survey finds that "in the vast number of codes opportunity has been missed to make collective bargaining concrete Only concreteners can obvate the narrowing construction of the statute by the court prevent self-favoring interpretations by management and labor and make collective bar gaining eventually effective for industrial sef-gov- ernment."
 Possibility of developing powerful trade assocla- tions is suggested because of the Governments attempt to promote self-reguation of industry. Such groups become effective enforcement agencies through their ability to expel anc fine their members by incorporating the code provisions part of their rules.
 Attempting the evaluation of the act from a purely legal viewpoint would be blind refusal to face realities the article declares, but it is pointed out that the N R. A. will have important legal well economic effects.

THE CWA PROGRAM.

Hastily planned, hurriedly being put into execu- tion the Civil Works program President RooseVe' , inspired plan for giving four million idle men ana women jobs for the winter persons who other"lSe would have to be paid doles or kept by charity IS an undertaking that stirs the imagination as well as the heart Frankly attempted as an emergency measure it has to be judged such In it's nature it cannot show for every dollar expended 1ul return to the taxpayer who will eventually foot the bill It must be taken for granted that many com parativey unmportant projects will be accepted by the Civil Works Administration officials In Aiaska as in every State and that the real cost ol completing them may be more than is justified py standards of careful longtime planning and contract bids But the important thing here, as eIse"here' is that able bodied and women VIII De put to work at short notice at living wage and kept there through the winter months when there IS Atte chance for ordinary industries to increase their normal payrolls
 In the Territory the Civil Works program will give between 1000 and 2OO0 persons a chance to do honest work for real money Instead of dole, or a "handout' from official or unofficial rehet organization these men and women will be dolng work for wages For some of them, it may be the first real money they have earned in a long time It requires only a slight comprehension of the defeatst psychology of persisting unemployment to realize what tremendous spur this step is to the morale of these hundreds of workers and their dependents.
 The plan also aids others indirectly. The money paid to workers in the Civil Works program-it probably will exceed $200000 in Alaska-is going to be spent by the recipients for food cloth ing and rents It is new purchasing power, created by the fiat of the Government, added to the volume of money and credit already in circulation. At the same time. various communities will spend sub stantal for materials and equipment.
 As an alternative to the dole-and it must be considered as such-the Civil Works program is a vast improvement. As a species of inflation-the creation of purchasing power-it tends to aid price levels and thus helps the Administration further it's monetary and economic program.
