The Minger family settled first in
Pennsylvania, later coming to In
diana, where the father became a
farmer. The sons, now retired,
formerly were in the gardening and
produce business west of Indianap-
Oils.
There is no way know to learn
whether President Minger is related
to us" Albert Minger said today.
ut is possible that he is a cousin,
and of course we are interested in
the progress of the country under
his leadership. We do feel that any
any Swiss executive is honored,
since the Office there seeks the man,
rather than the man seeking the
Office"

THE LIQUOR REGULATIONS.

It cannot be said that the regulations issued by the Board of Liquor Control for the sale or alcoholic liquors err on the side of liberalism. The restrictions seem be drastic enough to remove all fears that have expressed in quarters that the Board might be so liberal and loose in it's rules that the old saloon system under new guise would be established No such fear ever justi- fled by the tentative plans discussed some weeks ago. Certainly under the system of licensing and regua- tion formally adopted last week nothing resembling a saloon can legally operate
 One feature of the system that is notable is the extremely low excise tax and moderate license fees fixed by the Board. The excise levy of two and one-haf per cent of the invoice price of the liquor is probably lower than the tax of any State in which is legal On liquor costing $40 per case the tax amounts to 8 1i3 cents per gallon. Some will cost more than that sum and less but in no case will the tax be high. The $l00 fee for both retail and wholesale licenses amounts to less than 30 cents per day No complain of excessive taxation, and if liquor prices are high, the Board cannot be held responsible because of high eves.
 Time alone tell how the regulations will work out It may be necessary to add to them from time to time and to amend those already promulgated. Since the Board be convened any day by the Chairman, changes will not be hard to make require long time. Amendments be effected immediately if need for them is established.
 It is too much to hope that the regulations will please everyone. The system of private sale will not suit many Those who had advocated Terri torial stores will be disappointed will others who urgently requested the Board to empower muni- cpalities to establish liquor stores. The Board was advised by competent legal authority, including Delegate Dimond and Attorney General Trutt, that it could neither establish Territorial nor dele gate it's power of control to municipalities they could establish them Nothing remained but to establish system of private sale The Board de- voted great deal of time to the system it did create. Its members honestly and sincerely sought to make 1t a workable system. It rests with all of us now to do our part. It will work if we do Beginning May l. those who desire it can purchase liquor legally. Let's make it smart to legally drink legal liquor

CLEANUP WEEK.
legal liquor

Juneaus annual Cleanup Week will begin next Sunday No civic undertaking is of much mmed- fate benefit to the community as it is It benefits the property of the whole town, adds not only to it's appearance but actually to it's value. It also promotes better health. A dirty town is disease ridden town. clean town is healthy physically and morally. Thus, if not a single stranger passed through gates, the benefits to be derived from sn organized attack debris and dirt are too great to be missed through neglect and indifference
 Juneau probably will have more summer visitors this summer than for many years. Transportation companies report the largest bookings for a long time The tourist trade is reviving greatly We cannot expect them to be favorably impressed with the town If 1t is run down at the heel unkempt and slaternly. If want to benefit by the tourist business we must show proper regard for the opinions of the summer visitor
 The Chamber of Commerce, as usual is taking the leadership in the cleanup movement It is seeking the cooperation of other organizations in the city, of business houses and of all individuals Only through such organization can the work be properly and effectively done. It is the duty of all of us to aid in the campaign.

Otto H. Kahn.
CNew York Herald Tribune.)

A sharp loss to the cause of American culture is the passing of Otto Hermann Kahn. Banker and business man, author of countless philantrophies and patron of the arts, he has closed notable and striking career. His loss will be deeply mourned.
 Born in Germany in 1867, of banking family, and well grounded in Continental finance, MT, Kahn emerged first in American public notice as the young financial aid and mentor of the late E. H. Hartman, whose famous in Union Pacific stock in the middle 90s gave him control of that railroad the opposition of J. P. Morgan and James J. Hill From then forward and until the end his business judgment and his written and spoken contributions finance have always been sound, constructive and eagerly sought.
 But it is in the field of music, art and philan- thropy that Otto Kahn-a familiar figure in his ever immaculate attire, his bristling mustaches and gentle manners, at first nights at the opera and wherever music art framed the occasion-found his most attractive metier. He sincere disciple of American culture and of the few who crusad- ed with an abiding faith in the esthetic sense of Americans regardless of German and English training. No other in this country so deeply identified with opera. This city knew him best President and Chairman of the Board of the Metropolitan Opera. He was the founder of the Chicago Opera Company Vice President of the Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra Society, Director of the Boston Opera and identified with many other musical causes. He believed implicitly in the future greatness of the American stage and American art and literature and his beneficences in this direction will long be remembered
 Few Americans were more devoted to the cause of the Allies during the period than Otto Kahn. He denounced Prussanism in vigorous speeches and writing, and among his most notable contributions his London home, St. Dunstans Lodge, Regents Park, as refuge and school for blinded soldiers.
 America has lost an outstanding business man. a public-spirited citizen and loyal advocate of American greatness.

Highway Planning.
Daily Journal of Commerce, seattle1

(Daily Journal of Commerce Seattle)
 With the fate of the nations highway construc- ton program for the next several years due for a decision by Congress and the President within the next month, highway and good roads aSso- citations in all parts of the country are keeping close track of the trend of events in Washington.
 While there is strong sentiment in many quarters for an appropriation to cover all forms lof national recovery projects, there many lead CTS, both in the executive branch of the Govern lment and in Congress, who are determined to see that an adequate amount of this money is appro- priated either directly earmarked specifically for the construction of roads
 During the depths of the depression, many States found it expedient to turn funds de- rived from direct taxes upon highway users to purposes of relief" said Charles M. Upham, En- gineer- Director of the American Road Builders Association "and this arrangement must necessarily continue in all but few of the States since the Legislatures of forty-four States do not convene until January of 1885
 Should the Federal Government at this time drop it's activities along the lines of planning, CO., lordinatng and financing highway construction, the result would be almost complete cessation or road building throughout the country for at least la year"
 "On the other hand, the continuance of the Federal Governments activity for another year along the same lines as have been followed tns year will not only assure some half million work CTS of continued employment, but will enable the States, when the Legislatures have had an oppor- tunity to act, to return to their normal program much sooner than they could should they be
 forced to abandon constructive work on their public investments for whole year.
 The situation is especially pressing in the less heavily populated States of the West and Southwest where highways form the principal modes of com lmunication In these States the Federal Govern ment owns enormous tracts of land from which the State derives revenue
 Unless, however, long-range program is adopt ed now planning for intelligent and continued highway improvement the result will be that all
 present activity is merely temporary palliative for unemployment and the benefits that other wise would derive from planned highway economy will be lost to the nation at large thus making new start necessary when the present crisis shall have passed.

DEMOCRACY.

The people of Switzerland have recently em- phaszed their devotion and loyalty the principles and traditions of democracy that seems to be no longer the fashion in many sef-proclaimed demo- cratic countries. By majority of 10000 votes the Swiss people have voted to give democratic rights to anti-democratc parties No longer will the Fascist and Communist parties in Switzerland be denied the right to oppose the Government and advocate its overthrow. In a word Switzerland boldly does what no Fascist, Bolshevst, Communist or Nazi State dares to do-allows rights to those who condemn democratic principles. That is to say, the right of anti-democrats to democratic rights in democracy, is not conceded to be their right, but the inalienable right of the democracy itself.
 Opposition is the first principle of democracy. A democracy cannot endure such when it fails to extend this right to others who, in fact, neither recognize deserve it.
