NORTHWEST AND
 ALASKA OBJECT
 TO SINGLE CODE
Says Omnibus Code Would Benefit Fresh Fish In-
 dustry. Exclusively
WANT CODE FOR
 THEMSELVES ALONE
Tuna Packers of California Take Similar Stand
 Offer Code

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.- The salmon packers of Alaska and the Pacific Northwest desire to present a special code and ask exemption from the general code now under consideration. The tuna fish canners of California have also asked for the same privi- lege. This was disclosed today at a h caring on the general code. H. Thomas Austern, Washington attorney, spoke for the Alaska and Pacific Northwest packers.
 He asked that the salmon canning industry be divorced from the fresh fish industry. He said it was a separately integrated industry W h c h had none of the problems of the fresh fish industry in the preservation of it's catch or in marketing it's product.
 MT. Austern said the California tuna fish industry was in the same position but had gone farther and presented a code as a subsidiary to the canners' code.
 The principal objection to in- clusion of salmon packing under the omnibus fresh fishery code, he said, was that they would be forced to bear substantial part of the administration of a code which would benefit only the fresh fish industry and solve none of the packers own problems.

By CARL e. CRANMER

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. - The very first big money battle" in the United States came right af- ter sadoption of the Constitution and waged about the colorful AL exander Hamilton, 35-year-old fi- nancial expert designated by Wash ington as first Secretary of the Treasury.
 Colonies which had revolted against King Georges tea tax and stamp act were not disposed to ex- tend themselves in collecting taxes requested by a continental con- gress of vague authority.
 But for the enmity of France toward England, the credit of the American patriots would have been almost nil in Europe, and at best only about $8.OO0,0Oo was obtained in loans from that quarter.
 There was not enough free capital in America to float large dome stic loans although about $66 0O0,0OO in paper money, actual ly worth about $8,OO0,000, was se- cured in such a way.
 So, the continental congress and colonies together issued about s45O, 100000 in paper money, and some historians believe harrassed officials of our Congress may have issued even more surreptitiously
 Not made good by any power of the Congress to tax, this currency began to depreciate in a few months. Near the end it was used to paper barber shops, and sailors paid off in bundles of it, made suits of clothes from the tattered bills, and paraded in jest. Even i tually, part of it was redeemed at 1 cent on the dollar.
 Not worth a continental has been a stock expression since, and to this day continental currency has been standard example used by writers on monetary questions
 After the revolution there were stiff contests over imitation in sev- eral colonies including Massachu- sets. where Daniel Shays led his instruction for credit money. Ev- entually, conditions forced the new Constitutional Convention of 17S7 which restricted the power of coin- age to Congress, alone.
 Into such a situation Hamilton stepped. Regarded as an extreme FederaIist who perhaps favored monarchy, his policies were viewed with suspicion by, jealous states rights" men who feared ever. a separate national capital would be walled city from which would swarm soldiery to oppress the in- dividual states.
 His plan to pay holders of de- preciated government certificates the full face value plus interest was contrary to popular feeling because it was known spectators were buying up all the govern ment paper they could from the ignorant and uninformed. But his plan won.
 Southern States opposed his plan for the Federal government to assume state debts as means

Mrs. Bonner uttered a frightened protest,

a wicked, steel-tipped arrow went Winging
toward the approaching killer.
It hit the ground a few inches from his
