MILK is a universal food.
Considering its primary part
in perpetuating the race it is
the worlds most important
nourishment.
It is essential to the well being
of the young child, indis-
pensable to the invalid, of
demonstrable value to every
adult.
Happily, it is one of the cheap
est foods in point of nutri-
ment value.
Take thought of the major
food items in the family
budget, and the price of milk
is among the lowest.
Milk earns its place in the
American home-not by in
geniouS allurementS which
might gain it entrance and
temporary welcome-but by
a solid worth proved every
day, over and over again.
Good as milk may be of itself,
it is of no use until it is in
the hands of the consumer.
It is the facilities of the cor
porate milkman that give
milk what the economist
calls the utility of time and
place.
That it is economical to use is
an extra dividend of the
milkman'S service.

Section 2 Article of the General Labor Provisions, Code of Fair Competition for the Canned Salmon Industry as approved May 15, 1884 MIRA reads as follows

 Section Three of the article says:
 No employee and seeking employment shall be required condition of employment to join any company union to refrain from joining organizing or assisting labor organization of his own choosing.
 As understand the present Seldovia deadlock be- tween the salmon packers and the Sedovia branch of the Alaska Resident Fishermens Union, the union insists closed shop and demand price for fish far in to what the packers claim they pay.
 According to the MIRA code the Seldovia union is in in demanding closed shop and regards the price fish, this may be- may not be settled by arbitration If not Sedovia plants will operate this They willing be fair in the matter but do not intend to operate at loss Stories of fabulous profits may be discounted 100 per cent
 It is regrettable think that there a possibility of about 200 Sedovans being thrown out of seasonal employ ment that $00000 in generally accrng to ndi vidua and business may not be available because of this controversy price for salmon.
 We are also informed that the majority of the fisher men interested favor the packers schedule With regard to cannery wages the packers have been paying 50 cts and 75 cts an hour than what the MIRA code calls for
 We are reminded of another section of the code which says "The Code not designed to and will not eliminate oppose small enterprises and will not operate to dScrm mate against them

Scientist Poland

 Study Geography
Dr. J. Stefan JarOSZ of University of CracOW to Visit Three IS-
 lands in Southeast Alaska

A solo exploration of three islands in Southeast Alaskan waters will be made early this summer by Dr. Stef- an JaroSz of the Geographic Insti- ute of the University of Cracow, Poland, who arrived in New York recently, according. to mail advic- es received from New York by the Fairbanks News Miner.
 Dr. Jarosz will go alone to the islands of Kosciuszko, Jaremba and Wojewodzki, all near Wrangell for geographic and botanic research, and will concentrate on the height limits and spruce forests in compar- ison with those in the Rocky Moun- tains and the Cascade Range. He will spend five months in explora- ton.
 The three Alaskan islands were chosen because they were named af- ter Polish explorers, Captain Jarem- ba having founded the city of Wran- gell, and the Polish geographers are anxious to point out the contribu- tions of Polish explorers to Ameri- can expansion.
 Dr. Jarosz will spend the next two months touring the United Stat es and showing Polish films before geographic societies and travel clubs featuring the folklore and customs of the Poles He intends to climb Mt Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. Five years ago he spent p days in an attempt to reach the top of Mount Mckinley in Alaska, although he did succeed in climbing to the top of Mt. Rainier in Washington.

Reversal Made
 Walbridge Case
 Involves $36,664

Recently the United States Cir cult Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit handed down a decision re- versing the judgment given in the District Court for the Fourth Divi- sion at Fairbanks, Alaska, on May 1, 1883, in the case of Lester B. Wal bridge against the New York Alaska Gold Dredging Company, wherein it was adjudged that the New York Alaska Gold Dredging Company should pay Mir Walbridge $36, ,664.97
 On the first trial of this case in 1928 the Count instructed verdict for Mr. Walbridge. That judgment was reversed and upon the re-tral in 1883 the case was submitted to a jury under instructions which the defendant, the New York Alaska Gold Dredging Company, claimed were erroneous and by reason of which the second appeal was taken and the reversal procured.
 The attorneys for the New York Alaska Gold Dredging Company upon Appeal were Harry E. Pratt of Fairbanks and Herman Weinberger of San Francisco. The attorney for Mir. Walbridge on appeal was John L. McGinn.-Fairbanks News-Miner.

Change Seen
in Accepting Its
Membership.

Sinclair Lewis, noble prize author
whose "Babbitt" and Main Street"
burned the ears of small-town Amer
lea back in 1920, sat back on his
fiftieth birthday early this month
and opined that the American small
town he portrayed in his much. dis
cussed novel is rapidly passing He
himself was born in a prairie village
in Minnesota.
Lewis, whose latest novel, Seven
Million Dollars" will be published for
the first time in This Week, the new
colorgravure magazine Of The Sunday
Star on Sunday, is still an Older
facsimile of the thin, nervous, red
haired, unathletic boy, who always
stood near the bottom Of the class
at Yale. Like Babbitt, he lives in
a. suburb only few miles from the
railroad station, surrounded by quiet
"suburban-minded" neighbors.
To-day" he says, "Babbitt reads
biography and history and sends his
children to colleges, and colleges are
not what they used to be. They are
no longer the bulwarks of orthodoxy
in all things. People in Main Street"
think about things about as other
people do elsewhere. The Nation Is
becoming sophisticated"

A flock of rumors have been flying
around suggesting that Mr.. Roosevelt
might take this encouraging oppor-
tunity to devalue the dollar further.
He could squeeze 9 more cents Of
gold out of it if he wanted to.
There Is no indication that he will.
Every well-informed authority here
seems to be convinced that he will
not. For one thing there Is no ad-
vantage he could possibly gain by it,
except to remove that minor un-
certainty about his final action. The
truth seems to be that he likes this
minor uncertainty and will keep 1t
in reserve until the time comes to
stabilize with foreign countries.
No one is agitating for further de-
valuation. Even the inflationists seem
to be willing to let everything slide
along for the time being.
Gold Countries ION Spot"
Conclusion jumpers seem to have
decided that international pressure
against France and the gold bloc
countries now will be stronger. This
belief is not shared by the most COM
petent international exchange experts
here. They think that France will
devalue sooner or later, but that the
international pressure on her will be
no stronger now than it was six
months ago.
In base ball as in law, it's the
winning run that counts. A 5-to-4
decision Is Just as conclusive as 8 to O.

Your Income Tax
Deduction for Taxes.

Taxes on real estate and personal
property paid during the year 1884
are deductible. So-called taxes, which
are assessed against local benefits,
such as streets, sidewalks, drainage
and other like improvements, are not
deductible, for they tend to increase
the value of the property and thus
constitute cost of q permanent i'm
provement. The Federal income tax
may not be deducted. Income tax,
however, paid to the State by an indi-
vidual on his income is an allowable
deduction on his Federal income-ta
return.
Customs duties paid by person on
articles imported for his own use are
deductible. Admission taxes, impoced
on admissions in excess of 40 cents,
are deductible, but the taxpayer must
show that account has been kept Of
the amount paid. Taxes on club dues
are deductible by the member paying
them. An individual may deduct the
tax on his telephone conversations,
on the checks he has drawn and on
t4iC AClb VI lis Sd4C ucPOoAb DOA.
License fees exacted by q State or
city upon certain businesses are de-
ductible as taxes. Automobile license
fees are ordinarily taxes and deducti-
BILE. Postage is not tax and Is not
deductible. In general, taxes are de-
ductible only by the person upon
whom they are imposed.
Under the revenue act Of 1884, no
Federal estate taxes, State inheritance,
estate, legacy. or succession taxes, or
gift taxes are deductible on any in
come-tax return. The Federal taxes
on automobiles, gasoline and liquor
are imposed upon the manufacturer,
producer, or importer, and are not
deductxble by the purchaser or con-
sumner. Whether or not the gasoline
tax or the sales tax levied by q State
may be deducted by the individual
purchaser depends upon the terms Of
the State law imposing the tax, con-
sequently the right to the deduction,
as between purchaser and seller,
varies IN the different States.

What's What
Behind News
In Capital
Court Stressed Facts,
Not Law, in Making
Gold Clause Rule.
BY PAUL MALLON.

The lawyers will be arguing from
now on about what the Supreme
Court did in the gold cases. The only
thing they may agree on is that
the court faced the facts in prefer
ence to the law. In other words, the
decision was based on calm reasoning
rather than cold constitutional words.
At least this is what they are saving
here now sotto voce.
1t pleaseS a lot of lawyers who have
always believed that the letter Of the
law has caused much injustice as
well as justice,
AS they see it, the reasoning be-
hind the court decision was quite
simple. When the justices locked the
door and got down to business they
did not call for copies of the Con-
stitution and thumb through it first.
They merely asked themselves the
question whether the people who were
suing the Government had actually
been damaged because the New Deal
devalued the dollar.
Any fair-minded economist will tell
you the answer. They had not.
Evening star., 1935-02-20

Liberty bond holders bought their
bonds, say. in 1918. with the old
100-cent dollar of that period. (Tha.
was the year when most of the L,ber-
ties were sold by the Government) If
they sell those bonds now they will
get just as many of President Roose-
velt's 59-cent dollars.
The only actual difference to item
Is what their bond would buy in 1918
and what it will buy now, not in gold,
but in food, clothing and such things.
II yog dig back into the ualue OF
q dollar in 1918 you tDiH find it
1Uds north about rs cents in pur-
chasing poUer. That is, prices
1Uere then so high after the uar
that you could get only rs cents
north OF food and clothing for it.
Today the dollar will buy roughly
$1.33 in goods at the present lower
price level.
So if any one owes any one else
in this matter you Liberty bono
holders would seem to owe the Gov
ernment about ST cents. At least
the dollars with which you bought
your Liberties will buy that much
more today.
Labor Statistics Used.
The figures used are from the sur
vey of wholesale prices conducted by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics. They
are computed on a 1926 base, with
prices that year being considered to
furnish 100 cents purchasing power
for the dollar. The avefage pur-
chasing apower of the dollar in oil
commodities for 1918 was exactly .762
and for 1884 1t was exactly $1.335, as
shown in this recently issued survey
The gold prices for the two compar-
ative periods are beside the point, be.
cause no American citizen now can
buy gold with his Liberty bonds OF
his dollars.
There tDds one trick in the de-
cision. The reasoning implies that
the court might hold differently IN
q case OF foreigners, i0ho hare
suffered actual damages on their
Liberty bond investments as q de
rect result OF deUdludtion. For ,
instance, q Frenchman who paid
10000 francs for Liberty bond
10il find it north only about 5000
francs notC.
His interest is worth that much less
also, when he converts it from de-
valued dollars into gold francs. II
some Frenchman purchased Liberties
and set them aside to meet some inter-
national balances, he might have a
good chance Of collecting if he sued
the United States Government. No
doubt some will try.
Certain good authorities suspect the
court might consider other facts,
such as whether the claim Of the
Frenchman should logically be made
against his own government for not
