to encourage illicit sales always provided the States do not impose excessive levies in addition.
 Revision of income tax rates, with no general
 increase, and stoppage of the leaks in the existing statute should bring $150000,00O of added revenue
 it is estimated This would be done by tightening the administrative provisions of the income tax laws and closing the door to tax evasion by legal means A concerted effort to collect delinquent Federal taxes is expected to bring as much as $500 900 O00 in the next year year and half.
 :. There is further possibility of a helpful un- earned increment through devauation of the dollar The possible profit of several billions existing stocks of mohetary gold was not referred to by the President in his budget message. But it remains potent possibility for sashing the current deficit. With the gold profit the possible increase Of Federal income reaches impressive figure, some where in the neighborhood of S5000,000,000. Even without that rather mysterious of credit the additional income should be upwards of S1 900. In either case the $7O000000o0 deficit anticipated for June 30 should be modified somewhat and the outlook for the succeeding fiscal year very much improved

T earnestly contend that this thing has gone far enough writes Bill Cunningham in the Boston Post in commenting upon the re- cent exploits of Associated Press staff men in coming to grips with those two celebrated old men, Of athletics, Big Bill TiIden and Babe Ruth.
 Next they will be wanting one of us to wrestle Jim Londos just to show how a double grapevine and thumb gouge actually feels or fight Max Baer with pallbearers' gloves to chronicle the sensations of being knocked down ten times.
 "T'he slogan of the sports writ CTS is Do as I say; don't do as do.' It's easy enough to write that the Harvard interference doesn't hit hard enough to knock a baby carriage over, but it would be something entirely else to have to get in there with it and prove be- yond cavil that it couldn't remove a reporter from it's path The cold facts are that it would probably remove him-to a quiet contemp1a- ton of the ceiling of the nearest infirmary

DEMPSEY HIT HIM

Once or twice in the interests of journalistic beats, scribes who were either ambitious or crazy, depend ing upon the point of view, have risked their well being in actual tests to discover how something or other felt. I'll never forget the earnest young man who wanted to be knocked out by Jack Dempsey it's sensations. It was up at Sara toga Springs, where Dempsey was training for somebody -Sharkey, If I'm not mistaken.
 This young reporter was as big, or even bigger than Dempsey. He was new on the job with a New York tabloid, was an ex-crewman of Columbia and was anxious to make good with different sort of story So he calmly requested Dempsey to let him mix it with him in training bout, request ing him to turn his fists loose so the reporter could see what Demp- sey's real opponents had to take. After discovering that it wasn't a gag, Dempsey had him sign pa per, protecting the Manassa Maul- CT from any lawsuits, and then he took him on.
 ''The big scribe was practically helpless. Dempsey sank three or four wallops into his white and flabby body, then whipped a left to his chin that dropped him like a log. They dragged him out, sponged him off and after while he came to. He wrote a piece that read pretty well, but, as a matter of fact, he could have written the same piece if he'd never boxed Dempsey at all, for Jacks clout upon his jaw so completely numb ed his brain that he couldn't re- member having boxed at all"

CRITIC OFFERS ADVICE.

Perhaps no critic of the MIRA has been more severe in his strctures than Edwin Selvn in the Business Chronicle Seattle, of which he IS edltor and publisher For months past he has belabored it heartily on all occasions There were, still are for that matter faults in the system. He was quick to detect them and to them to condemn the whole idea. He undoubtedly acted in good faith and in the sincere belief that his policy was TOT the best interests of the public.
 In the latest issue of the Business Chronicle, MT Selvin makes what he terms an analytical study of NRA which is largely made up of quota tions from recent address made by Gen Hugh Johnson to the National Association of Manu- facturers That talk, MT. Selvin admits, casts some new and important light on the subject, and concludes
 Now the thing for everybody to do is
 to coope te. Get all the good there is in
 MIRA, and minimize fast as possible and
 eventually eradicate the bad.
 The opportunity for selfgovernment in
 business is here-for the first time backed
 by governmental authority so make the
 most of it.
 If business doesn't now govern itself you
 may be sure a political bureaucracy will
 strangle business in abortive efforts to
 govern it.
 This is timely advice to Alaskan business men and industries. For MIRA has to the Territory, and to stay. Hugh J. Wade, Deputy MIRA Admin strator for Alaska, making his first official an- nouncement points out that all business and in- dustry here covered by the code that has been adopted in the country at large for each particular classification Any violations that have occurred in the past he emphasized will not be taken into account, due to the lack of knowledge as to the application of the codes in the Territory That attitude will hardly apply in the future after every concerned has had opportunity to inform themselves as to the status of their particular business or industry.
 Although the period of MIRA ballyhoo is over the interest in it and it's success is as deep if not deeper than ever. It has proved highly successful in nearly every industry and business far adopt ing the code system. As Gen. Johnson recently declared in of the forceful phrases for which he is noted: For you, the question is whether you shall stand outside and throw bricks at the house that built for you, get in the inside and enjoy it's comfort and protection"
 We believe that practically every industry and business in Alaska is ready to "get on the inside. They only wait to be shown just how that can be accomplished, and what is required of them.

far as the sports writers are con- eefneG They are content to take some other fellows word for how hard Dempsey hits, how rough Gus Sonnenberg can be on the mat or how thrilling it is to ride in six day bike race jam.
 Occasionally, some adventurous ous soul such as our MT. Edward Joseph Neil, Jr., will risk life ana limb, as he did a couple of years ago, by riding down the Olympic bobsled course at Lake Placid, right after a big smashup, and then writing himself one of the classic pieces of recent sports literature.
 But for the most part, the feel ing is that a little of this will go a long way, just as Bill Cunning ham suggests.

The Roosevelt Budget.
(New York World Telegraph

(New York World-Telegram)
 After the first gasp over seven billion dollar deficit country that is beginning to shake off the lehargy of fear and turn it's face again to hope will not feel that the cost of recovery is excessive.
 Instead it is likely to be surprised at that DOT ton of President Roosevelts budget message which suggests that only two billion dollars may be spent for emergency measures during the coming fiscal If the patient should have relapse due to premature ecoonmy, then the whole great recovery bill to date would represent loss and the cost of regaining ground would be doubly heavy
 Fortunately the President does not close the door to greater appropriations for work relief and public works if these should prove necessary year of Roosevelt has taught us, too, that he puts human beings first and is likely to do more rather than less, than he promises.
 Yet it would only reasonable prudence to prepare well in advance for possible need during of the past few months has been the slowness with which it is possible to create jobs through public works, when the money is available
 If industrial recovery proceeds fast enough so that public spending ceases to be necessary, the President reasonably be trusted to stop expend lures.
 President Roosevelt has been commercially frank with the country to it's financial situation He has estimated with extreme conservatism. He has not tried to make the deficit less by count ing revenue the which foreign countries, owing us have no intention of paying He has sent to Congress, in detail never before equalled, statement of exactly how the public money has been spent, and what he proposes for the future He has provided for auditing of emer- gency expenditures both by the Budget Director and the Comptroller General
 This being the case, it is difficult to how Congress with good grace insist that every relief expenditure be earmarked in advance and approved by it. During the World War the need of the President for funds which he could put quickly to unforeseen uses was recognized and met The need in this emergency is equally real. i So large the amounts in the budget for emergency measures that figures showing sub stantial reduction in the ordinary cost of running the Government have received little attention.
 Nevertheless it is true that President Roosevelt has spent $684913167 less for the regular depart ments of the Government during his first year than Herbert Hoover spent during his last year in office.
 On the whole the budget message fulfils the promise of the delivered the day before and justifies continued faith of the country in the Administration.

Having been told by the President the very worst to be expected in Federal fiscal affairs it is possible to discover number of encouraging factors that modify the picture substantially.

w. A. Dunkle, well known min ing engineer, passed through Ju- neau on the Northwestern on the way to the Westward after a trip of several months in the States.
 J. E. Moulton, sourdough mush- CT and popular representative of the big Seattle Hardware com pany, was in Juneau preparing for his next trip over the great white way" as his annual dog team trip through Alaska, was called. This will probably be my last trip in this manner, as it is very probable that next year in- stead of riding behind my favor ite dogs, I will ride in a modern railway carriage"
 The weather for the preceding 24 hours had remained clear with the maximum temperature Il de- grees above zero and the mini mum degrees above.
 The Juneau and Douglas High School basketball teams were to play their next game in the Jaxon rink in Juneau the fo1l win g night. Each team had won game and the interest in the com ing battle was becoming intense,
 The tango, hesitation waltz and other new dances were to be introduced at Gross Hall under the instruction of Miss Louise Anderson. It was the first class organized in Juneau for teaching of the new dances.
 A new, electrically driven, ven- tilation fan had been installed in the Elks' Hall that was capable of completely changing all the air in the big auditorium within a space of four minutes. Its install lation insured pure air to all at tending functions there. Another addition to the club building was the new bronze E1k's head mount ed over the main entrance to the club and hall.

CHAMBER ASKS
DC. TAXSTUDY

Complete survey of local taxes
was recommended today to Rep
resentative Mary T. Norton CD
Of New Jersey, chairman Of the
House District Committee, by the
Washington Chamber of Com
merce.
Asking that the survey be made
before any action is taken on the
Smith bill to increase the District
gasoline tax, the Chamber Of Com
merce urged that Congress set up
q committee or q commission to
study the problem.
The chamber stated:
"The board Of directors Of the
Chamber Of Commerce does not
feel taxes should be increased
or new taxes levied until an
exhaustive study is made to de-
termine what taxes are apprO-
pirate and the prOportionate
share Of the total tax budget
should be borne by each tax
source"
The organization made it's rec
ommendation after a study of the
bill introduced by Representative
Howard w. Smith CD of Vir-
g1nia, which would increase the
local gasoline tax from 2 to 4
cents.
