planes to visit Juneau. 5, Concedediy we have available waterways for amphib3ans and hydroplanes. Your safe. successful arrival here has demonstrated to the world that Ju- neau also can furnish safe landing grounds for wheel planes.
 "Tne people Of Juneau, as other Alaskans are minded Hemmed in by mountains and water, our situation early forced us to see the advantages of air travel. We long have felt that Juneau was the log ical site for base for airplanes, wheeled, amphibian and pontoon. We are confident that your visit to Juneau has sustained that con- tention and has proved it beyond any doubt.
 Tt is with pride that We learn you have elected to name one of your graceful winged machines, that commanded by Major Royce, after Juneau. As it scars through the heavens, it will lift upward that ideal for which our community strives but falls far short of at taining.
 The totem you have adopted as your emblem seems most approp- riate for that purpose. Half lle- gend, half fact, so likewise in time will become the story of your flight to Alaska and to Juneau. Long before the aviator braved the air. passages of Alaska, there WIS a great bird that scared over its wa ters, forests and mountains at heights that man could not essay With unblanched eye it gazed down from the sky, impressing the abor- igine with its courage so that he give it first place in his story barbaric, it sounds, yet great na- tions, even ours, adopted the Eagle as a national emblem

Below on the pole is Grizzly Bear typifying bravery and dauntless courage.
 We feel that the qualities thus exemplified by the carvings on this pole, which is of native Alaskan yellow cedar, are symbolic of the courage and daring exhibited by you in making this flight.
 "In appreciation of your. visit to us, Juneau presents to you as a slight token of remembrance this Totem Pole. May it outspread wings shield you from danger and harm. We hope that it may aid to keep green your memory of us, and that soon you may again spread your wings in flight and return to visit us for longer per iod than time now permits you"

but also because it tends to discourage the deposit
ing of money in banks. 1t is an obstacle in the
way of the government to take money out of hoard
ing and restore it to the banks.
The Post says: "The tax on checks should be
abolished because the banks are making charges
to depositors which they formerly did not make.
Depositors assessed for service when their &C
counts less than $100-at least that is the
practice by many banks. NRA authorities short
time ago prevented banks from setting up a new
system of charges for service. Repeal of the bank
check tax law will be in harmony with the policy
of NRA in narrowly limiting charges for service
to depositors."
If the abolishing of the check tax were put to u
vote of the millions of depositors in the United
States it is hardly probable that there would be
a minority vote. We know of no other tax the
cancellation of which would be so generally sane
toned as that of the little two cents every bank
check.-Spartanburg (S c. Herald.

What's to become of the hundreds of thousands
of workers in the CWA who to be cast adrift
this week?
One might think that the release of such vast
multitude is proof that the administration has
found that this whole procedure is a hot brick
which it wants to drop.
That it is hot brick, there is no question, but
the authorities are not planning to let anybody
get out of their hands who are desperately in need
The public works program will soon be getting
into swifter and more widespread motion and the
idea is to let the workers from the CWA to take

to conditions that the administration could not
overeome.-Charlotte Observer.

HOW REPEAL LOOKS NOW

1t is interesting to hear ardent friends of repeal
talking about it. now that they have its results
under inspection ...... ..- -
Recently an alderman expressed opposition to
ear-marking local liquor license revenue for school
purposes because, he intimated, now that liquor
sale had been made lawful, more policemen would
be needed He may be right at that.
The other day a business man remarked that
he had told his wife not to drive her automobile
alone after dark. 'Now that the saloon is back,
you can't tell what may happen" he added. He
admitted he had voted for repeal. Another bust
ness man, commenting on the high speeds of the
new models in automobiles said, "The return Of
legal liquor makes such speeds dangerous"
Ira L. Reeves who crusaded enthusiastically for
repeal is quoted as saying that many of the "new-
style saloons in Chicago "are as vile and rotten
as were the lowest-type saloons in the old days"
Mr.. Morgenthau secretary of the treasury, told
newspaper men that the bootleg ring still has the
country by the throat" ,s -. .a,..s ,s.. (
Prohibition was indicted for increasing the po-
lice burden. making life dangerous on the high
way. promoting the bootleg business. Repeal was
to change all that for the better. OF course it is
early yet, but the repealsts have job on their
hands, ........ .. ..ta.. ..rruv
And repeal was to save the nations youth oy
opening the way for sound temperance education
So far, the most conspicuous evidence of educa-
tional effort resulting from repeal may be found
in the glittering window displays of every type of
whisky-nineteen of them on Madison street be-
tween river and State strickland the appearance
in every book store and news stand of instructive
literature on the art of mixing drinks, J, Dun

MERELY ASKING THEM

If the national government tells the farmer how
many bales of cotton he can raise why can't it tell
the dentist, with equal consistency, how many teeth
he can pull? ,.... ....... ...... ..,. ...,# i
And if the same government can decree how
many acres the wheat grower can plant why, by
the same token can't it tell the doctor what area
his practice must cover?
These are not extreme inquiries. They have to
do with the present tendency and are tangent to
basic principles of life in America
One asks them not to be hecking and querulous'
but merely to keep the mind refreshed as to the
imperative that America head in the other direction

Judges. Of al! men, should be
chosen for their wisdom, but too
many of ours are picked for their
political pull. If the judge | am
talking about had possessed the
qualifications needed in his job,
he would have received those an
guished, infatuated citizens SYM
pathetically and he would have
treated them kindly instead Of
getting on his ear about ''my
courtroom" In the first place it
wasn't his courtroom. 1t was the
peoples courtroom.
Judges should realize that they,
like all other public officials, are
the servants of the people. 1t is
not the business of judges to die
tate or to bulldozo or to brow
beat, but to do justice.
In this nation the people rule
if they wish to. Sometimes the
people are a little backward about
ruling. Often they let their affairs
get into the hands of persons that
treat them unfairly, and they put
up with it.
But the pepole in this country
Can rule whenever they choose; in
fact the people can always rule
whenever they choose. Any time
an elephant has a mind to, he can
throw his keeper over the house
top. 90 ...
The people have good judg-
ment. and they have a sound idea
of fair play. Wise Judges and all
other public men who are wise
will listen to the people for the
people are showing plenty of evil
dence that they are going to have
this country run thereafter for
their benefit. A large number of
public officials, if they don't watch
out will find themselves all mussed
up and far from home without
their pants.

Yet anybody, everybody, fed

citizens to resort to mob rule.
Those citizens, angry, distressed,
overweight, at the prospect OF
losing their farms through lhl'
pending mortgage foreclosures,
had crowded into the courtroom
to talk the matter over with the
Judge. The judge, thinking more
about his dignity and the formal
ties that should be observed In
his presence than about the trou-
bles of the citizens and the dar-
oerous mood they were III, told
them peremptorily to take on
their hats and to stop smoking IN
his presence; he reminded them
automatically that "this is my

GREAT LEADERS NEED
GREAT FOLLOWERS
CBY BRUCE CATTONy p

Celebration of Washington's birthday
this year is likely to result in some rather
far-fetched attempts to figure out Just no"
the father of his country would react to
the new deal, if he could come back" so
earth and draw a hand in ito ..,'
Such attempts are far-fetched because
those who make them have nothing to 60
on. The world of today is as unlike the
world that Washington knew as the world
of the Caesars. a.,."
We can say, if we like, that Washington
would feel thus and so about railroad merg-
ers, crop reduction plans, stock exchange
regulation, and Tennessee Valley projects
but if we do, we shall be talking through
our hats, because all those things were
completely outside the range Of his expe-
rience. Na.- 80"
1t might be more useful if We stopped
figuring out how Washington would react
to- modern problems and began to wonder
how we ourselves would react to Washing
ton. -f H".".+
ANY national leader can be great only
to, the extent that the people he leads give
him their support-their courage, their en-
durance, their loyalty. Washington's great
ness consisted largely in the fact that he
was able to find those qualities in album
dance ainzthe disorganized and bewildered
colonies Of his day. .a
iHad,he been unable to do so, indepen-
dence never would have been won-and
he himself probably would have wound up
on gallows on London's Tower Hill.
Suppose, then, that he did come back to
lead us today-would he find US the kind
of-people great leader can use?
Would we be too wrapped up IN the
scramble for personal gain to listen to
him? Would we be too busy with our
pleasant diversions-our sports and our
reereations, our baseball and our movies
and our weekend auto trips-te bother
with a man who sought to command al
OUR loyalty and faith and steadfastness?
Would we, in short, be the kind of men
Washington commanded in the old days
or would he look us over, and shake his
head, and sigh for the ragged, profane
veterans of Valley Forge?
Those questions really are worth asking.
Usually we observe Washington's birthday
by comparing him with our present-day
leaders. 1t would be lot more to the
point five, used the chance to compare
ourselves with the men Washington led.
Are we as good men as they were?
If We aren't, we'd better start to change.
For if the present hour, as everybody says,
calls for great leadership also calls for
great followers.
