plan to run him for Congress in
1886.
The idea was sponsored chiefly
by Anon Carter, publisher of the
FIT. Worth ar-Telegram, init
mate friend of the Roosevelt fam
lily. He wanted Elliott to oppose
Fritz Lanham, congressman from
Ft. Worth, and to that end boosted
him first for the presidency of the
Young Democrats of Texas.
However. Elliott did not go over
very we'll in the Lone Star state.
He was too good looking, his man
ner too suave, his attitude just
trif1e superior Also, friends of
Fritz Lanham set out to knife
him.
So after a Knocked and
drag-out fight among Texas Young
Democrats, Elliott lost out on the
presidency. compromised and got
the vice presidency.
But with opposition to the elder
Roosevelt growing in Texas,
Elliott's chances for Congress APP
peared futile. Also his spot in the
limelight was not helping his
father. There is too much resent
ment against the Roosevelt fam
lily. So Elliott resigned even his
vice presidency.
ZONE piece of legislation lost in
~ the last hectic shuttle of adj
Journment, and which the Ad-
ministration is more than pro-
voked about, is the defeat of a
Little NRA" bill.
This would have required COM
panies selling goods to the gov
.ment to pay code wages and
code hours. The bill was espe-
cially urged on Congress by Roose-
veltS special message following
the Supreme Courts blast of the
NRA in the sick chicken case"
1t was aimed to be a conceret
foundation upon which the Ad-
ministration could build a bigger
and better NRA.
The defeat of the bill was due
to one small slip by Speaker Joe
Byrns. whom many New Dealers
would like to present with BOBBY
prize. labeled Star Bungler of the
Session.
Good old Joe-his mind prob
ably on getting home to his
Tennessee mountains-sent the bill
not to the House Labor Com
mittee, which should have received
it. but to the Judiciary Commit
tee, one of the most reactionary
in Congress.
The bill has slept there soundly
ever since.

Rex Tugwell, who is trying to
drop 5000 of his ReSettlement
workers. has urged this on the
President. So has Harry Hopkins,
who is now curtailing his surplus
FERA workers.
Even Mrs. Roosevelt has empha-
sized this point to her husband.
On one occasion, after Barney
Baruch had impressed her with
the dangers of New Deal ineffi-
cheney. she arranged a conference
between Mr.. Baruch and Mr..
Roosevelt. even went to the extent
of having both men in for tea,
and kept all calls or messages
away from the President while
they talked.
AS a result there has been some
attempt at increased efficiency
and at curtailing the elephantine
New Deal-but not much.
There are two reasons for fail
ure. One is the obvious fact that
no other Administration in his
tory has launched so radical and
multiple program.
The other is that Mr.. Roosevelt,
himself. can not let go the per-
Sonal reinS. This is partly be-
cause he doesn't want to. partly
because there are so many weak
spots and prima donnas in his
Cabinet.
The number >of administrative
details which flow across the
Presidents desk is amazing. CAL
win Coolidge had nothing like it.
Even Hoover. whose eight years in
the Department of Commerce
gave him such an intimate knowl-
edge of government that he was
more familiar with many details
than his subordinateS. would not
have dreamed of tackling the
minor matters which come up TO
Mr.. Roosevelt
Until this changes. the anvil
chorus around Mr.. Roosevelt will
be about as effective as rain-pray-
ers in the Northwest drought
land.
IT is against Justice Depart
l. ment policy to admit it, but the
tip which sent Omen directly to
the shallow grave of gangster John
Hamilton two weeks ago came
from a woman.
She is Helen ellis Nelson. wife of
Baby Face Nelson and member
of the Dillinger- Hamilton gang.
Mrs. Nelson is now in the Federal
penitentiary for women at Milan.
Mich. and is being released this
month after serving minimum
sentence.

in his career he had had a chance
to get rich suddenly and had been

That was why he hated and fought
the Standard when he came to

He fought the gamblers and the

THE fishermen who go
down to the sea in ships
in order that your dinner
table may be graced with a
tasty broiled fish or a
salmon salad, are depending
more and more upon Diesel
engines to bring them and
their catch back to land.
Each spring, the salmon
cannery fleet of Libby,
Mcneil & Libby leaves
Seattle for Alaska, where
the company operates ID
canneries from southeast
ern Alaska to the Boring
Sea. Three big ships and
some 80 "cannery tenders"
ranging from 50 to 80 feet
in length, comprise the fleet.
One OF the big ships, the Libby
Maine, is equipped with two Dow
Diesel engines. Most of the so
tenders are Diesel-powered.
All spring the tenders are busy,
towing floating traps, pile drivers
and Scows. When the salmon run
begins in July, they work "a hours
a day bringing fish from the traps
to the cannerieS.
Each tender sees about 1000
hours of service during the year
Those equipped with 5O-horse
power Diesels burn about $3.50
worth of fuel. 1t is estimated that
that the same boat powered with
a gasoline engine would -ul up a
fuel bill Of $1140.
1--WE of the seven ships of the
l. General Seafoods Corp. of
Boston are Diesel-powered. These
include two schoonerS and three
trawlers. The five are equipped
with COoper-Bessemer direct-re-
versing Diesel engines.
Diesel engines, of course, are
nothing new upon the ocean. The
first use of the Diesel as a power
agent for transportation was on
the water. This, as We have pre-
viously pointed out, was because
the great weight and slow speed
of the original Diesels made them
unsuitable for land vehicles but
did not particularly interfere
with marine use.
improvements which have
opened up a field for Diesels on
land have strengthened and ex-
tended the marine Diesel field.
Ships of every size, from big
passenger and freight boats to
tiny pleasure craft, are being
equipped with Diesel engines to-
day. They are being used in sub

VISITORS FROM CHILKOOT.

Juneau at different times has welcomed various representatives of national defense but it is with especial pleasure that it looks forward to the visit here soon of two companies of soldiers from Chkoot Barracks Southeast Alaska's army. Groups of the soldiers have been down on occasions such the Fourth of July but this is the first paid us a visit.
 The Chilkoot companies which in command of It. Col Dusenbury a part of the Third Division, United States Army, a Division which made such an enviabe record during the World War and many of the in the service in Alaska are veterans of that struggle. The first contingent, Company E, is scheduled to arrive here July "A and the second group, Company F. on August IA. It is an interesting fact that the city will have both Army end Navy here during the month some of the naval vessels are scheduled for around July 19 in Gastineau Channel
 While her the soldiers will be based in Ever green Bowl from where they will make marches to various points and, billeted in the Bowl Juneau residents will have opportunity to visit camp and how the Army lives and what the rudments of national defense really mean
 This good will visit on the part of the Chilkoot command will do much to cement the friendship between civilians and the military. Strategically located 1t is Juneau some day may well become the base for Army and Navy operations Aerial bases for both arms of the service are to be established Tin the north and it is possible that this city ol vicinity may be chosen as headquarters for some of the units. Thus it is well that we get acquainted with the who make up our military personnel and to those from Chilkoot we bid hearty welcome

FREIGHT MOVES BY AIR.

Highway Engineer William A. Hesse returning from an extensive trip to the Interior reports that airplane transportation has increased marveously in that section, not for passengers alone but in the matter of freight He points out that freight can now be carried between Fairbanks and Wiseman, distance Of 200 miles airline, for eight cents pound and that water transportation to the latter place is doomed. Rather remarkable change from the dog team days when freight rates ran to high as 25 cents pound and time for transport was often matter of months.
 No single thing has done more toward making Alaska habtable country than air transportation and perhaps place earth has ctzenry quite as air-minded Alaskans due to great distances and isolated communities Coupled with the radio telephone which is making progress, the Territory look forward to transportation and communication which will mean much rapid strides toward greater development Airplanes now drop mining machinery at various isolated camps which few short years ago would not have existed due to the prohbltiVe of getting equipment to the sites And these outposts will have radio phones. MT. Hesse reports that many stations will be installed in communities that heretofore have been without any of communication

phone in many instances far from successful but and better equipment is being pro duced that promises to eliminate former difficult ties An example is found in the new sets being installed aboard two of the Forest Service boats The original phones found impractical and virtually useless Since then developments have been made and tests reveal the latest equipment is capable of consistent operation long distances
 In mineral resources lies the destiny of Alaska but in rapid transportation and communication lies the means for fulfilling that destiny

Continued from Page Cnel law, including the antitrust laws, CT which constitute unfair methods or competition under the Federal Trade Commission Act. ss4
 The situation turns, however. on by whom and in what way volun- tary codes are being enforced. There is nothing little MIRA" can do about it. There is no legal weapans to enforce agreements on wages, hours, child labor and the sweat shops. The Federal Trade Commis- sion could exercise it's cease and desist" orders for violations of trade practices but those practices would have to be of the nature courts have declared to be unfair"
 That revives the antitrust law issue.
 Congress declared the antitrust laws back in full force when the Supreme Court denied the govern ment authority to enforce codes un- der which they had been suspended. In that connection President Roose- welt has said he cannot change sta- tutory law.
 The Sherman act Q89O declares contracts, combinations, or conspir- acies in restraint of trade or com merce to be illegal It prohibits any form of monopoly injurious to the public welfare The Clayton act 19l4 prohibits price discrimina- ton and various schemes that les sen free competition.
 May Be Tested on Merits
 Frankly, officials say, it is a moot question whether fixing will be countenanced under volun- tary codes in which the govern ment has no regulating hand. It is the Federal Trade Commissions as- sumption that price fixing involves restraint of trade, but it has been predicted that each and any form of it that is undertaken in the future will be treated on it's own merits.

That Truck Shortage in Alaska.
(Kansas City Star.)

Remember when grandfather was getting old enough to sit around with his pipe, not doing much of anything, but always ready to supply thrill telling of the hardships he and grandma went through bthely when they were pioneers out here in the West?
 Remember the story about their hard journey over the prairies in a covered wagon? How, when they finally reached their homestead and built a sod shanty, there wasn't enough summer left to raise a crop and how on empty stomachs, they fought blizzards all that first winter with buffalo chips?
 Remember the story of that first and many others when it nip and tuck between the grasshoppers and the hot winds which would get the crops; when if it hadn't been for a barrel of salt pork and barrel of flour sent by the folk back east" they would have starved; when grand ma stayed at home with growing brood of children constantly trembling at Indian rumors," while grandpa rode horseback forty miles to the railroad to get bottle of medicine?
 Maybe you don't remember. Maybe you so unfortunate as not to have known any of the gen. eration that pioneered this Western country, but that story of grandpa and grandma duplicated all this great with varying circumstances Grandpa and grandma not weddings, not weepers They possessed qualities that were general and were commonly bred into most in the earlier years of this nation
 All of which is pertinent only because of the walls that coming out of that Alaskan valley in which a benevolent government has settled a large number of poverty stricken farm families from Minnesota, Michigan and other States in that area. Up there in Alaska learn there is shortage of trucks, some of the tents have not arrived and persons have been forced to double up temporarily. Rain has delayed the arrival of some of the house. hold goods. Food supplies move slowly there are not enough wells.
