Employers. Employees, Votes.
(NeW York World Telegram)


 Whenever politics up, particularly in Presi- dentia years, get a re-emergence of politically minded employers who can't resist the temptation to do little missionary work" among their employees with view to influencing votes.
 A in point revealed by the World Telegram yesterday An editor of the law publishing concern of Frank Shepart Co., charges the firm has been engaged three months campaign to induce it's 200 more employees to enroll in the American Liberty League. Al" Smiths recent speech attacking the Roosevelt policies is said to have been used in special effort to round up the reluctant
 The persuasive memorandum earlier addressed to the firms employees by it's president professed to be personal communication in involving this com pany or your association with the company" Never theess other officers of the firm alleged to have said that joining the league means an expression of loyalty to the company One officer is quoted declaring, If you don't join you certainly will not get raise-I don't know whether you will lose your job"
 Obviously, this kind of persuasion easily becomes something very like threat and corlpulsion in the view of employee dependent upon his job It is as n- defensible it is improper. We think every right minded employer however strong his political likes diskes should lean backward in avoiding even the suggestion of influencing the votes of his employees The best advice to employers contemplating any such move however cautions, is Don't"

The New Federal Reserve.
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer)
 Under authority of the recently enacted law Presi- dent Roosevelt has chosen a Federal Reserve Board to administer the stronger powers allotted to the board Of the old board he has retained only two members, MT. Mariner s. Ecces and another of his appontees Thus the board is wholly of MT Roosevelts choosing, the law intended, and has been confirmed by the Senate without any oppo sition
 The new appointees men of ability, but seem to be of sort calculated to subordinate Federal Reserve policy to the interests of the Treasury Any prediction as to their would be unfair it would be unwise. From the new board may come vigorous and independent policy such as the country needs and will need increasingly proceeds There is danger however, that the board will go along too readily with the major economic policies of the Government.
 It is impossible of course, to have effective tral banking system which is at odds with the Gov ernment serious conflict between the two would be disastrous Nevertheless, it does not follow that the interest of the Treasury is identical with the welbeing of the economic system which the Federal Reserve has far-reachng influence
 Much depends on the integrity and intelligence with which these appointees approach their task Their role is certain to be positive and more orceu than that of the older Federal Reserve Board Whether it is also better for the country will depend the willingness of the board to look for guidance be- sues involved in the orderly control of credit

IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE.

Sometimes it is just little confusing. Back in 1882 the Republican party adopted platform which among other things declared that "the fundamental problem of American agriculture is the control of production to such volume will balance supply with demand" Equally inconsistent, the Democrats went record against the 'unsound policy of re- stricting agricultural production to the demands of the domestic market"
 The Democrats, under the outlawed farm program found it necessary to restrict agricultural production for which would naturally expect the Republicans to cheer in view of the fact that they went on record for control of production. But no. Rather they began shouting to high heaven against the very thing they had written into their own plat form. Apparently it makes great difference just who is going to do this crop controlling

0. When a man takes a girl to a night club, should he go first to his table, and then excuse himself while he goes to the mems room to brush up?"
 A. Yes. It is the girls privilege to go to the women's room first, but a man should always get his compan- ion properly settled at the table be- fore leaving her.
 Q. Is it all right to address the envelope to woman, "Jene R. Smith?"
 A. No. The prefix Mrs or Miss should always be used
 o. Which is the proper way to serve soup, at the table or from the kitchen?

 Defense of the is, of course, the Armys idea in carrying out such program which is dependent on the action of Congress making appropriations for the Wilcox bill. And defense is very imperative matter for Alaska well as the nation. Aside from the 10000 of up here who might be cut off from lending any assistance to country in the event o attack from the west there is the matter of mil lions in from fish. gold and fur which would be lost to the enemy if Alaska seized
 Perhaps Senators Pittman and J Ham Lewis, and Congressman Sirovch just a little too excited about the Japanese but is still better to spend mil lions for defense than be forced to pay it in tribute Our defense program should not be, as too many visualize, just against possible Japanese invasion It should be against any invasion by any enemy

AIR BASE POSSIBILITIES.

Report that Gen Oscar Westover, chief of the Army air corps feels air base for Alaska fits into the general plan of Pacific Coast defense comes mighty welcome news to Alaskans, for it may mean the actual construction in the not far distant future of huge base in the Territory costing in the neigh borhood of s190O00O0 and with facilities energ ency for 1000 airplanes.
 What construction such gigantic scale with the expenditure of that amount of money would to Alaska is easily foreseen.s But, than that it would directly tend to promote aviation in the north

In Spite Of The Court.
Baltimore Sum


 It is well to point out again that in its ruling in the Hoosac Mills the Supreme Court declared that the Federal Government has constitutional author iy whatever to regulate agricultural production The did not stop to di1lerentae between this that particular form of control but simply held that all such regulation is unlawful
 The Senate Committee on Agriculture to have perceived this fact and it is useful service that its members performed yesterday when they called upon the administration to revise its latest scheme
 Despite this unequivocal interpretation of the Con- stituton by the highest court virtually every substi ute for the AAA brought forward to date, whether by the Democrats or the Republicans provides in one way another for Federal regulation of farm pro- duction It is almost though both sides had simply decided to ignore the courts ruling

INDUSTRY ATTACKS
PROFIT LEVY PLAN
Group Charges Proposal Is
Economically Unsound.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Ma
tional Association of Manufacturers
launched bitter attack today on
President Roosevelt's corporate profit
tax plan, charging it was econom-
ically unsound, would injure labor,
increase bankruptcies and encourage
monopoly.
The stand of the powerful organ
lied industrial group was explained
at a House Ways and Means Com
mittee hearing on the budget tax
measure by Noel Sargent, associa-
ton secretary.
Sargent proposed that Congress
name a commission to determine
possible changes in present tax pol
icies, deferring at this time action
on the 100000 900 corporate profits
tax plan, which he asserted would
stimulate speculation, 'penalize in
dustrial thrift and amounts to moth
ing but new share-the wealth pro-
posal in disguise"
