A PREDICTION

If we may be permitted to make prediction
we would say that tn railroad will resume oper-
alton regardless of managerial attempts TO keep 1t
closed as lesson to those merchants, miners and
farmers who, belause their incomes wouldn't stand
the tariff brazeDly patronized competitors.
Shameful practical It's terrific competition tool
One little boat! If Heinie Bergers boat had two
hundred ton capacity they would probably scrap
the line from salt water to Fairbanks.
But that prediction! 1t is based upon the
last paragraph of Delegate DImonds wire to c. L.
Cadwallader Gus Swanson and O. g. Hennins of
Wasilla. Dimond said Gen, Mgr. Gibson advises
read cannot operate by reason of lack of funds to
pay expenses of operation, but that emergency

You'll Be Missed, Up. :"

Northland radio listeners will be disappointed
to know that j p is no longer connected with sta

There are many who personally know more
people in Alaska than J P but there is no one
better known to the territory s inhabitants. For
years he has been sliding down antennaes into
isolated cabins, shortening the long winter eve

months in coming
The other day while j ? was visiting here we
had occasion to introduce him to Deep Hole :"
McGinnis the driller. $50 you're j P said
Mae, then he launched into story about
the time he was asked to offciate at christen-

above Nome. - And they named the baby j T, !"
he said j P bought drink on that one.
j ? is always getting letters. We have seen
number and though they arc from persons he
has never met yet many Of them are written
with all the intimacy Of correspondence between
fast and true friends.
A recent letter from a woman in the interior
included something like this: We often wonder
what you are like, j P, and every night when
you sign off with: This is j 2 OF station KIDD
wishing you good night, y we try to guess what
your name might be. No doubt j P are your mi

Ray Mcdonald could scrape together He gave
entertainment to a people who needed it more

not in money It's knowing that he has done
lot of people a lot of good.

Why Not An Alaskan Stamp?

Stamps, by the very nature of their purpose,
find their way into every corner of the globe.
They are fine media for publicity. Why not an
Alaskan stamp then? Talk it up. If enough
people are interested maybe we can get the
Postal Authorities to put out one. They've
covered about everything else with their special
issues: Mt Rainier, Boulder Dam, Fort Dearborn,
Crater Lake Great Smoky Mountains, etc. etc.

be finer than stamp to keep reminding people

PETTY GAMBLING

When does game of skill and science become
just another gambling game?
The courts, in passing upon this moot question,
have declared that where the element of chance
outweighs that of skill in game it becomes a
gambling device and is in violation of state laws.
But there is another phase of the skill-game
question which does not deserve any tolerance and
that is the practice of certain merchants here in
town encouraging children to play marble games,
pin games claw machines and the like in the hope
of winning money or prizes.
Under the law, these games considered harm
less enough when played for diversion and without
Inducements or payoffs but when these are held
out to encourage play, then the game is just an
other gambling device and should be suppressed as
such.
One merchant in a letter to this paper took us
to task for even mentioning the marble games in
last Sundays paper He said that his ''take" paid
the rent of his store. We were somewhat startled
by this naive admission that he bases his income
upon gambling devices instead of values and mer-
chandise.
While the public officials charged with law en-
forcement should be expected to curb gambling,
the burden of real enforcement also lies upon such
storekeepers interested only in their personal pro-
fits, and the people who encourage such eondi-
tons by participating. Angeles Press.

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
ATTACKING THE SUPREME COURT

We don't like what Senators Barley and Rob-
inson had to say about the Supreme Court OF the
United States at the Democratic invention last
week.
What did they mean by their somewhat scurrl-
Ions comments concerning the highest tribunal OF
our country? Did they mean that the Supreme
Court should be done away with? Did they intend
to infer that the present court is composed of men
who are incapable of handing down proper decl-
sions? Did they seek to reflect against the char
acter and integrity of the men who compose the
court? -''
The American people would like to know the
answers to those questions.
Of course, it is apparent to everybody what
prompted Senators Barley and Robinson to crlti-
else the court so vigorously at the Democratic con-
yention President Roosevelt sponsored the MIA
and the AAA. The Supreme Court ruled that ooth
of these groups were unconstitutional. That meant
in way, that they contradcted the opinions OF the
leaders of the Democratic party. And to contradict
the opinion of President Roosevelt is regarded as
rank heresy by some NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. BarkIey
and Robinson among them.
For their beneft-and for the benefit of anyone
else who is interested-we don't mind contessng
that we had ten times rather put such propositions
up to the Supreme Court than up to the Demo-
cratic party. We had ten times rather have the
constitutonality of any question or issue decided
by the Supreme Court than by President Roose-
welt, or any other political office-holder in the
United States. And that goes for the Republican
party we'll.
What Senators Barley and Robinson probably
would have had the Supreme Court do would have
been to put an official OK. on the NRA and the
AAA for the sake of expediency, regardless OF
whether the two groups were constitutional or I'M
constitutional
If such is the case, then every American can
thank God for the Supreme Court, which places
integrity and duty above everything else and which
is determined to keep the trust which the people OF
the United States have placed in their hands.
"Oh blind and impartial justice" Senator Rob-
inson is reported to have shouted, with his arms
upthrust toward the glaring overhead lights in the
convention hall, "What blunders are committed IN
thy name?"
We would like the privilege of answering that
question, Senator. The plumbers committed by the
Supreme Court are infnitesmal compared to those
which the politicians of the country have made

BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON
-sY RODNEY BUTCHER

THE anti-social farmer, who
l. has kept his income up at the
expense of general welfare is now
TO be rewarded, while the social
ly minded farmer who sacrificed
immediate income is to get very
lean piclingS. The former gets
$40 an acre on Is of his acres, or
$3.50. The latter gets $40 an acre
on Is per cent of his soil
depicting acreage-72 acreS-or
SIS.
Both farmers also get dollar
an acre Theoretical general av-
erage) for all land in soil
conserving crops, meaning Sis
for the farmer who has refused
previously to farm scientifically
and $3.50 for the other man.
That's a total of Sl65 in benefits
for the first man and Sl3250 for
the second.
But the big difference is that,
if the second man is to partici-
pate in the program and get any
money, he can raise and sell only
half as much wheat as the other
fellow. The anti-Social farmer
profits most, first by his past per-
formances, second in amount OF
subsidy received, and finally be-
cause he is permitted to grow
twice the crop of his neighbor.
THE farmer who believed the
l. cloqucnce of the conservation
lists in past years now is left hold
ing the bag. But, as one AAA
official remarked in conference:
I'VE are after results and not JUS
tice."
Proposals that subsidy pay
ments be made to farmers who al
ready have certain percentages of

made no Roadway. .,

BIG TEST OFFING

Leaders of labor in the United States are deter
mined to unionze completely the great steel in
dustry one of the nations basic industries, as well
as one of the largest.
Heads of large steel corporations, which have a
combined value of something like five billions OF
dollars are equally determined that the efforts Of
the union organizers must be defeated
And so, one of the most important tests of the
century, as far as labor and industry are con-
cerned appears to be in early prospect. Much will
depend upon the outcome of this pitched battle
which will be waged on wide industrial front.
Steel corporation executives have asserted that
they will spare effort that their workers might
have the right to work in "open shop" which
employs both the union and non-union worker
They are determined that their employees who are
not affiliated with union, will have protection
from intimidation and coercion, and that they may
remain outside the union if it is their desire.
There are thousands who sympathze with the
attitude of the steel corporation executives. If ar
employee in steel mill, cotton mill or any other
kind of industrial plant desires to affiliate with
union that is his business; but the other hand
if an employee desires to remain outside the union
that also is his own affair and he should be pro-
tected from the activities of such organizers who
seek to employ coercion and other methods of per,
suading workers to affiliate-Anderson Is. c.

If you show irritation toward
a person, you are likely to arouse
irritation in him toward you.
Then neither of you has any judg-
ment in your relations with the
other.
Irritation is thing to be
stamped out every time it sticks
up its viperish head, for it not
only breeds rapidly but it feeds
on itself. The more it is tolerat-
ed the more intolerable it be-

destroys friendships. 1t ruins OPP

DEATH TOLL LARGEST IN FIVE YEARS

The Fourth of July holiday period death
toll is the largest in five years. 1t was re-
ported above 250 this morning and, OF
course, will rise above that when the re-
port of accidents and deaths is complete
Fourth of July fireworks accounted 1or
only a fraction of the deaths-for five, IN
fact-but many of the minor accidents re-
suited from the handling of fireworks
Texas leads all the states reporting so TAR
with % fatalities; seven States reported
no deaths; North Carolina reports ten
deaths.
Traffic accidents were responsible for
around 60 per cent. of the deaths reported,
a total of 149 in SO States.
This record constitutes tragedy on
national scale. Contemplated in all of its
horrible details it is staggering; and the
most discouraging thing about it is that
accidents and deaths are greater IN num-
bers this year than for any Fourth of July
period in five years. The record does not
improve but grows more appalling.
Preaching and teaching the rules OF
safety, as thousands of newspapers and
individuals have been doing, has not made
the country safe for its population. Vi
course when millions of people go on
rampage of celebrating, accidents are GER
tain to happen, they are unavoidable; out
a more sane and safe observance of the
great American holiday would hold the
number of accidents and deaths at point
far below the record for the past week
end
The air resounds with discussions OF
economic security" and social security.
What is the country going to do about Sc
curity for the lives of its people? What
are economic and social security worth IN
a country where there is no security for
mans life?
There is one basic fact which must not
be overlooked in the consideration of this
problem, and that is that Improvement OF
the record of accidents and fatalities in
this country depends on the individual
Traffic accidents and all other accidents
as a rule, result from the inefficiency OF
carelessness of individuals. 1t is seldom
that groups or large bodies of people are
responsible for accidents. To change con
ditions and improve the record individuals
must be reached. This is matter of in,
struction, of education in safety rules and
regulations; but, primarily, in order to i'm
prove the accident and fatality record, in
dividuals must be trained to habits which
make maximum contribution to then
own and the safety of their fellows.

SEA ScrNirr Sinfr ENrrcSnnndrmi

V7ASHINGTON.-Both m o !
" political parties are pledged to
big soil conservation programs.
So there will be such program
in any event.
What remains is for someone to
come along with a scheme which
won't have the somewhat startling
result of substituting farmers who
have misused their land while
penalizing those who have used
wise methods of soil conservation.
There has been some Subdued
grumbling about this, but it APP
pears that the farmers who have
depleted their soil values are so
much more numerous than the
others that the protest won't be
very serious. g..
Here is the way it works out
under the Soil Conservation and
Domestic Allotment Act:
The farmer who takes out Is
per cent of his acreage which last
season was devoted TO Soil-dcplet-
ing crops and puts that acreage
into soil-conserving crops is paid
an average of Sl0 an acre.
You can take for an example
two farmers, each owning 100
acres of land. One of them has
always put his entire acreage into
3 soil-deplcting crop. refusing to
build up land for the future and
contributing annually to a big
wheat surplus, in order to sell
NJ the wheat he could.
, The other has used his magma
lion for the future and kept SO
pcr cent OF his land in conserv-
ing crops. such as alfalfa, willing
