county district court here Saturday
In an effort to prevent the transfer
Of 100000 from the state hail in
surance fund to the real estate bond
retirement fund, as provided for in
q law enacted by the recent legisla-
ture.
Petitions requesting q temporary
injunction to restrain the state treas
urer and auditor from making the
transfer were filed and State Treas
urer Alfred 8. Dale and State Audi
tor Berta E. Baker have been ordered
to show cause why the restraining
order should not be issued.
A hearing on the matter has been
set by Judge Fred Jansonius for
April 8. Notices were served on Au-
ditor Baker and Deputy Treasurer o.

titioners, who are o. j. Brye. John

The petitioners claim the law is un-
constitutional and allege money paid

states the constitution provides each
law imposing a tax must state dis
tinctly the object Of that tax and that
1t shall be applied only to such object.

As long as it is confined to unbroken voyages, only the transportation interests benefited.
 w believe that MT. Hooper fails to do justice when he terms Juneau being not tourist minded. Just now it is true the community is not expendng large sums of money to advertise for tourists But it has expended in past years many thousands of dollars for that purpose It has circulated many thousands of pieces of literature describing Alaska matchless scenery, its climate, its sport fishing and big game hunting The latest pamphlet issued by the Chamber of Commerce is designed to interest yachtsmen, particularly, and sportmen generally in cruises in this vicinity The Chamber long ago recognized the potential value of the tourist trade and has probably expended more in seeking to cultivate and promote it than any other organiza- ton of it's kind in the Territory.
 Unquestionably it appreciates MT. Hooper's gen. erous offer to personally cooperate in giving pub licity to Alaska as tourist May his evangelistic efforts be productive unbounded suc- cess

Ambassador to Germany.
(NeW York Times.)

It has been well understood that President Roose- velt's selection of Ambassador to represent the United States in Berlin had long given him pause The difficulty of filling the position became plain after the events in Germany last March, with their sequels. But the wait of three months has ended in the happy choice of Professor William E. Dodd of Chicago University. He seems to meet all able requirements His education was partly in Germany, he has published at least one book in German, and speaks the Language readily Ph. D. of Leipzig University distinguished in his own coun- try as a writer and lecturer American history, recently honored by being made President of the American Historical Association he is distinctly Geehrte of the type which the Germany of other days would have been glad to welcome. In learn ing and academic standing Professor Dodd is worthy successor to Bancroft, Andrew D.. White and Dr. Schurmann.
 Besides being scholar, the new Ambassador has hard large experience in practical politics and public affairs. He close friend of Woodrow Wilson He has been student of American political theory, of which his favore exemplar is Thomas Jefferson. This being so. he is doubtless prepared to carry with him to Germany full-boded Jeffer- sonian doctrine concerning the equality of all cit- zens before the law, and the sacred rights of religious freedom, which the Germany of today may yet come to respect and apply.

PORK CONSUMPTION.

The American people eating approxi mately per cent pork and lard per person than they did in the pre-war period reports the United States Department of Agriculture. And they are eating higher percentage of the total produc tion of hogs. In the 1910-14 period the American people consumed 93 per cent of the pork produced in this country. During the abnormal postwar 1919 they took only 76 per cent of the produc- tion, because expectations to Europe were running unusually high.
 But as exports began to fall off and hog production changed only slightly, the percentage of the total pork production (excluding lard) avail able to domestic consumers exceeded the percentage consumed in the normal pre-war period In 1929 domestic consumers took 96 per cent of the total production of pork per cent than in the pre-war period And in 1882, approximately 98 per cent of practically unchanged pork produc- tion showed onto the domestic market. This per cent than the percentage consumed by the American people in l9l0-14 It inevitable that during the industrial inactivity of the past three years that home consumers would take the increased quantity of pork at only a very low price With hogs then, the excess produc- tion has been reflected almost entirely in the low market price.

BELL HELPING FISHERMEN.

In opening large fishing areas in the Kodiak district to purse seining Frank T. Bell United States Commissioner of Fisheries. has undoubtedly been guided largely by the needs of the local population for employment. Reports received re- gently by Gov Troy from Coast Guard officials who visited villages in that vicinity revealed a distressing condition. Fishing is the sole source of employment and sening grounds had been closed to such an extent that most of the fishermen were unable to operate Commissioner Bells new regula- tions will remedy that situation. It is to be hoped that the salmon packers will buy the seine caught fish at prices that will permit the fishermen to earn sufficient money to carry them and their dependents through the coming Winter
 Commissioner Bell has a similar opportunity in Southeast Alaska. Troll fishing in the areas where that occupation be carried at a profit will be closed August 25 under existing regula- tions. There doesn't seem to be any particular need for such closure far conservation is con- cerned. The trollers take kings and echoes and neither of these species threatened with extinc tion The Commissioner could we'll afford to set aside this regulation and permit trolling for the remainder of the year.
 Such a modification would be especially timely this season. Up to there has been very little trolling done, due to a sympathetic strike The trollers and buyers have negotiated for weeks with
 
 opments indicated they gradually getting to- gether and there is every reason to believe a satisfactory settlement will be made in the near future. The fishermen have lost a great part of the season when the at their peak. Few if any of them will be able to enough to live next Winter, though the strike should end at once if they have to suspend fishing in August. If the Commissioner would cancel the closed season, it would help the situation materially. It would not only give the fishermen employment and chance to support themselves and families, it would tighten the relief burden under which all Alaskan communities already staggering.

Ships and Jobs.
(New York Herald Tribune) )

tNeW York Herald Trlbune0
 President Roosevelt has shown courage and clear headedness in approving the naval building program The seventeen ships ranging from arcrafe carriers to destroyers and submarines for which bids were asked yesterday from private yards will mean as much to unemployment as they will mean to na- tional defense. The rest of the thirty two ships the navy yards it is understood The total makes formidable effort to lost ground and will bring the United States to the Naval Conference of 1885 if still hopelessly behind it's treaty quota at least energetcaly demonstrating its resolve to achieve that status.
 The orders to be let to private yards espe- cially important in view of their relation to the merchant marine and the whole shipbuilding in dusty It is impossible to separate the two classes of bottoms. great nation that is powerful in one will inevitably be powerful in the other and a nation that lacks merchant fleets the yards to build them and the men to sail them cannot possibly maintain strong fleets of warships.
 This building program will put thousands of men to work in mine in steel mill in factory, in shipyard. It will keep alive and effective private yards by which the American merchant marine has been restored to position of strength and confidence.
 The whole program reflects the highest credit on the Administration. The emergency and the need of governmental projects ready to hand for instant execution have doubtless aided in the de- cison. But the stroke delivered in behalf of the safety of the nation is none the less notable. MT. Roosevelt has plainly not forgotten his happy days in the Navy Department. His loyalty to this admirable cause, in the face of the highly organ ized and constantly vocal propaganda in behalf of weakening the national defenses deserves the highest credit.
