SUSPECTS MASK ON
LIBERTY LEAGUE
By a Times Reader.

BY a Times Reader.
The American Liberty League
seems to be sponsored by the same
crowd that fostered the Association
Against the Eighteenth Amendment.
History perhaps gives us as many
examples of crimes committed in
the name of liberty as in the name
of religion.
The purpose of this crowd, in re-
peal of the eighteenth amendment
was to unload income taxes OF the
rich on poor beer buyers.
They were like the Greeks bear
ing gifts, clothed in personal liberty
uniforms.
The second act Of the drama
presents the same leading char
acters. In the monologue we again
hear liberty as the catchword to
feel the victims of the plunderbund.
Yesterday the rabble yelled, Re
peal that part Of the constitution
which interferes with our liberty to
shift our taxes from rich to poor. !"
Today the battle cry is stop the
New Dealt" 1t may be unconstitu-
tional, at least our liberty to DOM
mate is threatened. There must
not be any attempt to bring changes
which threaten our omnipotence
over our business. That would be
dangerous and un-American.
These fellows only want a Con-
stitution which gives them the
power to act as if they we're the
only people in the country.
Individualism put on a harness
when our Constitution became our
compass. The Constitution carries

he worked as prosecuting attorney
to make it place where decent
people might rear their families in

I believe even The Times will have
to admit that Mrs. CaraWay has
proved that woman can make
good in a position of high RESPONSE
bility in our nations crisis.
Mrs. Caraway holds office by vir-
tue of having been elected without
opposition for her first term, and by
more than twice as many votes as
her field of opponents combined in
the election for the regular terra

Is he faithful to the Constitution"
I challenge you to prove that Sem

To be still more specific, chal-
lenge you to take the record AND
show one single vote Mrs. CaraW'y
has cast against the interests

Mrs. CaraWay is Endorsed 100 per

kansas edition to aid her campaign.
The Times claims itself to be the
working mans friend, yet pictures
this modest little champion of the
worker as a fool in cap and bells.
In conclusion. do not blame your
cartoonist or even the local editors
because 1 realize you can no more
call your souls your own than any
chain employee. But 1 would advise
the Scripps Howard chain on two
things:
First, better wash the windows of
your lighthouse and get your facts
straight, before you assail the char
acter of good woman who stands
for the very ideals your paper used
to stand for in better days.
And secondly, 1 called your car
toon crude because you published it
only a few days after the death of
Mrs. CaraWay's son.
Even in war the enemy is given
time to bury its dead. Common de-
cency should cause a paper, like an
individual. to treat any bereaved
woman with respect.

CENTURIES ago. when the Spaniards were

chests of the Incas of Peru the job OF getting
the gold home safely was a tickliSh and un-

Great galeons took the bullion across the
Atlantic. but in spite of the fact that the whole

it. The noble art OF hiiacking was performed
in way to turn the Spaniards' hair gray.

CARAWAY CARTOON

BY E. b.
AS rule, enjoy the work Of your
cartoonist, but his cartoon last
week ridiculing Senators Long, Rob-
inson and Caraway was crude and
uncalled for.
Why must The Times continually
show the veteran how very little
you think of him? Like all vet
Grams I know you threw this mud at
these three senators because they are
the little handful the Spanish and
World war veterans really can de-
pend on year after year to vote in
their interests.
Senator Robinson is here and can
speak for himself. AS for Senator
Long, your Westbrook Pegler said
in his column in The Times the same
day that the lamentable truth was
that Longs opponents were as low
and dirty as he. I presume Mr..
Pegler included The Times in this
indictment.
But, as an Arkansas citizen who
twice has had the honor of voting
for the first woman senator in our
nations history, protest your carl

SCHOOL BUILDING
WORK URGED

"
BY H. L. seeger.
To James A. Moffett:
To stimulate the construction of
new buildings your department and
the RFC might jointly promote
an extensive program of conStruc-
ton of new school buildings.
Realizing the heavy Indebtedness
of many school corporations and the
clamor for tax reduction we know
that our needs for new schools will
be long delayed in realization. How
ever, a tremendous impetus would
result in the construction industry
if all the needed and delayed school
construction were begun at once.
To overcome the tax difficulty and
the heavy debt of school corpora
lions and yet get immediate action
for construction, I want to outline
a plan that will help the recovery
program through employment of
labor of the better grades and also
meet the imperative needs of ade-
quate school facilities for the ma
tons youth.
l. Where bonded Indebtedness has
reached it's limit, preventing the sale
of school bonds, let the school boards
apply to the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation for a school lease con-
tract, the buildings to be financed
by the RFC and leased to the
school authority for period of
twenty-five years, the contract to be
a lease with option to buy. Lease
to be on basis of 4 per cent of total
cost of building for period of the
first five years, the remaining tWen-
ty years to be on a basis Of 9 per
cent, including the per cent inter-
est, deducting per cent annually
from the principal representing cost
Of the building.
Millions of dollars of new school
construction and much employment
can be started Immediately, leaving
us a permanent value for the money
expended.
The crippled condition of local
public finances will delay this type
of work until great damage will be
done to communities. If we will use
just little horse sense we can solve
this condition.

Lovely World

This lovely world will cling to me
Beyond the grave in memory.
Though I shall die, I shall not
sleep.
Insentient, I still shall keep
Some dream Of earth's bright
ecstasy.
There I shall lie, but ardently
Long for the sky, the brilliant sea,
Remembering, though buried deep,
This lovely world.
Ny dust shall feed the budding tree,
Shall turn TO blossom. I shall be
A living, Towering. earthly, heap,
Shall turn TO daisies lovers reap.
It wins the final victory
This lovely world.

Young men and girls of today go
swimming attired in abbreviated
trunks and one-piece bathing suits
and yet their minds are free of
lewdness. They have been accus-
toned to seeing each other practi-
cally nude, and think nothing of it.
We are called wild, and for what
reason? Just because we are frank
with each other, drink, keep late
hours, freely discuss sex and don't
watch our conduct in public
And why this clamor about cars
being parked on lonely roads. Well,
why not? It's a lot safer than one
arm driving. And what sometimes
is done in those parked cars is no
worse than what you more than
likely did in buggy.

REPEAL LOOMS NEARER.

The favorable report by both the Senate and House Committees on Territories of Delegate Di- mond's bill repeating the National Prohibition Act and the Alaska Bone Dry Law, and empowering the Territory to control and regulate the liquor traffic in Alaska brings Prohibition repeal very close to an actuality Within very short time, possibly before the end of the present month it should be realized
 The Dimond bill valdates act passed by the Alaska Legislature last year by which the Governor and elective Territorial officials named as a Liquor Control Board and empowered to provide system of regulation to control the sale and manu- facture of intoxicating liquor Its decision in the matter is final but will oot be binding for more than a year since the law creating the Board limited it's powers to the time when the next Alaska Legislature shall meet, which will probably be next January
 number of suggestions have been made to the Board regarding system of sale. Several mun- cipalities have urged upon it by resolution the advisability of permitting incorporated towns to establish municpally- y-owned liquor stores That, of course, would solve the question of sale so far as they are concerned but it would still leave lot of the Territory without regulation. The adoption of system that will take af both municipalities and those areas without such incorporated units is necessary. The time in which one may be set up is short It should be ready by the time the repeal law passes Congress and is approved by the President.

Trade with Russia.
(New York Times.)

Many observers share the belief that Russia of fers a large market for American goods A survey lof Russian American trade possibilities in the trent number of The Annalist reaches the conclusion that the Soviet Government will need for a considerable time to import equipment for it's in ladequate and inefficient railways equipment for air and water transportation, road building and the production of automobiles, textiles and leather as well raw cotton, metals and metal products generally.
 Doubtless a large market exists. The question iis how will Russia pay for the goods she buys? It has been estimated that gold valued at $50000000 la year is produced in the Soviet Union, but this would not finance a cash basis a great increase of trade if Russia willing to lall of her gold to buy American goods, which would certainly not be the case. The remaining alternatives the establishment of large credits presumably by some agency of the American Gov ernment, or the adoption of a policy which would permit Russia to pay for her purchases in this country by selling more of her goods.
 Clearly the latter plan is preferable to the granting of large credits. This amply demon strated in the of the large private loans made abroad by American investors during the decade of the Nineteen Twenties They concealed the anomaly of position the worlds greatest creditor nation, seeking simultaneously to collect repayment of our loans, to refuse repayment in terms of goods and to maintain surplus of exports over imports. But in the long they did not prevent either default on many foreign loans or the collapse of foreign trade when the practice of lending ceased.
 The United States imported in 1892 $3O0,- 100000 of foreign goods which competed only slight y, If at all, with our own products. The Soviet Unions share of this total amounted to less than IS per cent If to talk trade with Russia we should consider increase of this share Better still since any increase for Russia might be merely at the expense of other nations should reconsider the tariff policy which makes it difficult for all nations either to pay their debts to or buy our goods.

Death of Thomas J. DOnOhOe.
(Cordova Times)


 Cordova is bowed in grief and over the demise of our former townsman, Thomas J. Donohoe lat his California home. Although his passing was not entirely unexpected, since his recent severe illness, nevertheless the sad was shock to his many friends here and throughout the Terri tory, where his intimates were legion
 MT. Donohoe was pioneer resident of Alaska, where he was one of it's outstanding citizens and foremost attorneys. As friend and fellow towns man, whose mental and moral superiority com manded general respect he will be greatly missed and particularly in Cordova as he one of it's original founders and contributed considerably to it's upbuding. MT Donohoe also the leader of the Democratic Party in Alaska up to the time of his departure from the Territory. He served several years it's National Committeeman and it was to him that the members of his party always sought advice. and no deeply appreciated or more willingly served those who had placed this confidence in him-a man nobly public-sprited and charitable.
 To old Alaskans the passing of each notable figure of it's earlier history is an event. One of these figures Thomas J. Donohoe. His memory will be cherished by those who knew him and all the survivors stand at mournful attention as he enters the dreamless sleep that knows no waking To his bereaved wife and two grown children the Daily Times extends it's deepest sympathy

CAN COUNT CHICKENS BEFORE THEY
 HATCH.

Contrary to the old maxim Don't count your chckns before they hatch" Dr. Morley A. Jul, in charge of the United States Department of Agri- culture poultry research, advises poultrymen to do that very thing, and do it intelligently. Poultry research and practical experience have determined the methods required to insure high proportion of hatchable eggs and the matching procedure that will get the best results from good eggs. By apply ing these methods it is possible to make reason ably accurate estimate of results to be expected.
 Doctor Jul lists the factors which the poultry man should base his counting in advance of hatch ing. They are. CD Take in mating birds to assure good fertility; CD feed the breeding stock on a well-balanced diet that favors production of hatchable eggs; (3) carefully select the eggs for matching. rejecting small eggs oversized eggs, and irregular shaped eggs; (4 provide a reliable in- cubator, place the eggs in the trays correctly and turn them frequently With such precautions hatch ing is not much of gamble.

ALEXANDER ENDORSES GOV. TROY'S
 STAND.

Judge George F. Alexander of this city, now holding a term of the Federal District Court in Ketchikan, as guest of the Chamber of Commerce there, strongly endorsed Gov Troys recommendation to the Administration for local control of local natural resources and their liberal utilization Speaking to the business men of Ketchikan, Judge Alexander is quoted having said:
 I am not in accord with the con-
 servaton policy pursued by previous Ad
 minstrations in Alaska. I believe the resources of the Northland should be made not all reserved for future generations. I
 believe the So-called conservation policy in Alaska previously practced has kept back it's natural and normal development heart fly indorse that part of Gov John w. Troy's annual report in which he recommended that the resources of the Territory should be administered by Territorial officials, or those familiar with it's problems in the interests of the residents of the Territory; that the homestead and timber laws should be liberal ized and residents given opportunity to
 make of it's lands and timber, and that this would result in greater and more sub Stantial development of the Territory and at the same time greatly augment the tax revenues for both Territorial and Federal Governments
 This is directly in line with the argument that Gov Troy advanced for many years before he be- came Alaska's Chief Executive It is gratifying although there is nothing astonishing about the fact that he continues his advocacy of these things as Governor of Alaska.
