Growing Up

@NE OF the traits of youth more pro-
I nounced even than impulsiveness and
other similar symptoms, is that every
thing seems to be of such vital Importance
to one in his teens or early twenties.
Who of more mature years cannot re-
call times in earlier years when the value of
life itself did not depend, it seemed, upon
some incident that was forgotten a week
later. Defeat in some attempt perhaps, rid
icule for some foolish act, criticism for a
mistake, made all the world seem dark.
But with more experience in life, one
sees things of such momentous Importance
on the surface pass into dim memories so
quickly on so many occasions that one de-
velops more philosophic view of the ups
and downs. We say we would give anything
to be just kid again, carefree and happy,
but it's just myth. We have more cares
perhaps at 80, 40 and 60 but we are better
equipped to bear them.

An ACCOMPLISHMENT

\ THOUGH it failed in some respects,
~ the legislature is certainly entitled to
considerable credit for adopting COM
prehensive crime legislation. A major por-
ton of the changes in the police system and
court procedure recommended by commits
sion headed by Chief Justice Devaney was
enacted into law
With increased numbers on the GRIM
inal apprehension bureau force, radio sta
lions devoted to crime control efforts, wider
authority for highway patrolmen, police
training course at the university and other
improvements, the chances of criminals get
ting away certainly will be considerably
lessened.
Furthermore improvements in statutes
making it more difficult for criminal lawyers
to hoodwink jurors will increase the num-
Der of apprehended criminals who actually
get prison terms.
Minnesota is all set to make it hot for
law violators.

A Fireside Talk

\ THOUGH the subject matter was
~ more controversial than in preceding
talks, President Roosevelt quite effec-
lively laid his cards on the table in his fire.
side chat Sunday evening, the first in sew
eral months.
His talk was more optimistic even than
usual, which seems justified in view of re-
cent developments, yet he frankly admitted
that the number on relief has caused plenty
of worry. It is plausible that fireside talks
were discontinued until the president could
tell the public that at last this number was
shrinking, which he took pride in doing Sun
day night.
His welcoming of criticism and his ad-
mission that some of his plans failed to pro-
duce the results hoped for will serve to
strengthen the faith which Americans gen.
orally have placed in him and the honesty
of his efforts.
Most important phase of the speech to
the country generally was the laying down
of fundamental principles" on which work
projects under the huge government spend
ing program will be undertaken. Most con-
troversial part was the disclosure of con-
tinued lack of faith in the good intentions
of certain big business interests.
Our criticism of these freside talks is
that they are too infrequent. The air and
the newspapers are filled with criticism of
the course taken and regardless of the
source, such criticism is bound to create dis
trust and some discomfort. The administra-
TONS side of the story should be expressed
more frequently so that the public can more
fairly judge the merits of the issues.

The Wheat Vote

\ FTER being subjected to great deal
n of criticism, from the outside par
ticularly, the attitude of farmers
who will vote on continuance of the AAA
program as related to wheat May rs be-
comes extremely interesting.
Consumers groups have protested
against higher prices for foodstuffs and this
dissension has been capitalized upon by
others interested perhaps in an even more
direct way Farmers no doubt are also divid-
ed upon the subject and it is hoped that all
contract signers will avail themselves of the
opportunity to express their wishes that day.
AAA officials base their plea for fav-
orable vote on the contentious that our ex-
port trade is small and likely to continue so
regardless of efforts to increase it in the
face of tariff problems; that world prices are
not materially higher than when the adjust
ment program began and while short crops
have kept the domestic price we'll above the
world price, there is still enough wheat land
to produce great SURPRISES and drouths can
not be depended upon to keep production
down. Domestic consumption, they contend,
is relatively constant and adjustment pay
ments serve as protection against low world
prices.
These are arguments which the aver
age voter, not inclined to spend much time
investigating, will have to take at face value
and consider in the light of his own problem.
The strongest contention for a favorable
vote on the wheat program as we see it does
not deal with tariffs and SURPRISES but takes
account instead the fact that the program
has had but very little trial and that under
unusual circumstances. If we had wheat
fields to worry about instead of the price of
ink and paper, we would take the view that
the program should have very thorough
trial before it is abandoned. We will never
get anywhere with the farm problem until
we resolve to see our experiments carried
through to success or failure.

government has first right on in

field rather unproductive. 1t also

which lessons the amount the
state can safely levy.
There may be some incomes and

ed still higher but real estate can

direction.
sincerely believe that all who
vote should be taxed. The revenue
raised from a sales tax is no more
important than the impression it
will leave on the minds of all vot-
ers that the way to reduce and
eliminate taxes is to reduce and
eliminate public spending. The
so-called omnibus tax bill before
the state legislature was not per-
feet. There is no perfect tax law.
1t is, I think, a near solution for
our mounting state deficit and
real estate tax delinquency, con-
siderable Of which we are all re-
sponsible for and for which we
must all pay the penalty.

And, finally, there remained, at least for me, the intangible alloca- ton of the white continent itself, the thrill of discovery, of seeing new lands, and fitting into the iig-saw of geography the missing pieces be- yond the horizon. No one who has ever seen new lands, rising above the prov Of a ship, of running be- side a dog team, or glimpsed through the whirring of a propeller, can cas- fly deny the pull.

 So Admiral Richard Byrd who rediseovered the Antarctica which Lincoln Ellsworth was mapping for the jig-saw of geography when le disappeared a few weeks ago. describes the reason for his second venture into the white continnet. His book, Discovery" now on the shelves Of the Juneau Public Li- orary is the history of that second venture.

 Mayor Goldstein and The Chamber of Commerce previously wired Dele gate Dimond and other officials that the Alaska Juneau mine was pre- pairing to terminate it's agreement with the city, whereby small boats could be moored in the lee of the rock dump. The mine stated that manipulation of its barges was be- coming increasingly difficult, and this situation was said to make the new small boat harbor an almost immediate necessity.
 View Contradicted
 General Arnold, however, states that the city's use of the rock dump harbor cannot be terminated at the mines will:
 The permit granted by this De- partment for the disposal of material in Gagtineau Channel stipulates that the permittee shall make no attempt to forbid the full and free use of all navigable waterways adjacent to the work by the public It would not appear. therefore, that the present mooring area would have to be abandoned, although as stated above it's effective area will be reduced

the work would require the service of pipeline plant, which is not avail able in Alaska, and due to climatic conditions could not undertake the work during the winter months.
 There does not appear to be suf- fic.ent relief labor available in the immediate vicinity for the work, and its man year cost would be greatly in excess of that established for the relief program. In view of these facts and the delay necessary in starting the work in awaiting fav- orab,e weather conditions, the un- dertaking of the project as relief measure does not seem practicable. ,
 Congress, in the River and Harbor Bill approved August 30, 1885, auth orized a preliminary examination with a view to improvement of both the Juneau and Douglas harbors, but it is now likely that the two pro posed small boat moorings will be combined into one, according to the generals ieJIer:
