ond most important court Of the
land in actually.
Roosevelt filled the first avail
able vacancy with Assistant At
torncy General Harold NJ. Stcph-
ems. who hau been arguing for
New Deal laws IN the Supreme
and other federal courts. The Va
C,ncy caused by the recent death
Of Justice Josiah Van OrSdcl was
filled By appointment Of Justice

Partly as a result of disclosures

is fairly sure TO be the nomination
of a Jewish or a Catholic lawyer,
Politics being what they are and
Catholic voters being E.Ore nu-

fair bet that a Catholic will be
appointed to fiji the current Va
cancy, and Jew the next.

A MEXICAN Communists, pro-
Tossing TO have information
from Moscow, are doing what they
can to offs the bad effect OF the
Russian trials and supposed exc
cutionS on American public opin-
ion. They are now saying that
leaders who disappear from the
scene in Russia and arc commonly
supposed to have been executed
have only been sent away for "pe-
RODS of contemplation" on the er-
rors of their ways Of thought.
The one thing you can be sure
Of is that Stain and his friends,
whatever the Russian internal sit
uation may be and whatever may
be the merit of their elimination
of "6ld BolSheviks," have begun
TO indicate a genuine concern as
to the rest Of the worlds reaction.

SCHOOL BUSES; Have you
noted the new trend" in the
names on the school buses? Park
cd i'm the old building are buses
with these words: "North Caro-
lima Public Schools" and "Hcndcr-
son County Public Schools What
is the difference? The answer is
the "ncw trend" - centralized
government. What Washington
doesn't ccnualiac and take from
us. Raleigh does. II is the new,
large buses shipped in for the now
school term that shows that we
are now enjoying the "NOrth Car
DINA Public Schools" It's mean
ing? Just running things down at
Raleigh? An instance: The little
report card that the school child
bears homcward with a mixture
Of fear and trembling every SIX
weeks, used to be printed at home .
but now it comes from Raleigh.
The printer at home struggling to
keep clothes on his childS back
and nourishment i'm his stomach
no longer prints them. These with
books, etc, come out OF Raleigh.
Over at the state prison a biz
printing plant is out bidding for
business. The same is true at The .
institution of the deaf at Morgan
ton. They are out competing
against job printers and newspa
per plants maintaining job print
Ing departments.
Probably they can do things
better at Raleigh than; they can
at home but when they'choke out
local enterprise, thrift and indus
trv back home they are getting
into a business that smacks of
European countries. The weekly
and semi-weeklies against which
the state is competing in order to
save a few pennies will some day
stand on their hind legs about this
"new trend"

LAWYERS, THE LAW AND PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE
CRv BRUCE CATION

/. isn't hard TO understand why the
American Bar association at Kansas City
had q field day attacking President RooSe-
Welt tor his criticisms of the law and law
ycrS. The President has been 4 bit rough
with lawyers, ON occasion; turn about IS
only fair play.
But the speech of President Robert NJ.
Uutchius of the University of Chicago was
a timely warning that the legal profession
has little job of soul-Searching to do-a
lob which can't be evaded by simple as
sertion that Mr.. Roosevelt is biased and
vindictive.
President Hutchins put it up to the law
yers in plain words:
If they continue to accept what is done
rs the standard of what to do; if they con-
tinue to seek large fees under the impress
sion that they are the common good; II
legal ethics mean little more than pro-
tective tariff in favor of the bar; if we are
regarded as the spokesman of special priv
iIege; if our chief claim to public admlra-
ton is our agility in making the worse
cause appear the better than we are lost !;
then we cannot hope to make the cOmmun-
ity accept our moral leadership
There is no use pretending that great
many plain citizens nowadays are not pref
IL well diSilluSiOned about lawyers. This
has nothing whatever to do with the SUI
preme Court fight; it antedates it by a
good many years, and it is due very large
Iv 10 the points touched on by President
HutchinS.
Our laws are made principally by law
verS. They are interpreted by lawyers.
When we discover that certain law does
not mean what we had supposed it very
clearly did mean or that its force is NULL
fed by the existence of gaping loopholeS
or cleverly legalized nOn-observance, we
know that some lawyer has been at 1t.
1t is this sort of thing which has led TO
public establishment. The Bar AsSocia-
ton gets nowhere by charging President
Roosevelt with bias. The charge may be
perfectly correct, but it is beside the point.
Self-questioning along the line laid down
by President HutchinS is what is called for.
Perhaps a good part of the trouble
comes because lawyers and laymen alike
have been confused as to whether the
practice Of law is profession or a trade
If it is profession, it carries with it GER
tain ethical standards and entails a definite
duty TO society. It's members are obligated
to live up to certain idealS-at the cost, if
necessary, of cash in the pocket. If it is
trade, on the other hand, then anything
goes, and the annual proft-and-loSS state
ment is the only criterion of success.
The best thing the lawyers could do
would be to decide once and for all what
sort of Iegaue they are operating in.

 In this day and age the public demands up to the minute contact with affairs they especially affect their own welfare. The newspapers in remote sections of the Territory in nearly all instances, cannot afford to pay the cost of securing from Juneau lengthy tee grams Of the proceedings prepared by newsmen with their eye to value, rather than to the complete history of the days business.
 The advantage to be derived by the legislators them selves is selfeviden-whatever turn of events in the course of perplexng matters of legislation, they know that "the folks back home' keeping up with the doings of the legislative bodies, and would be prompt in advising them of the public sentiment in their own divisions, should the matters warrant it.
 The total cost of the service during the sixty days of the session would be negligible to the territorial gov ernmen as compared to the of money which the newspapers themselves compelled to pay in addi tion to their regular telegraph news services.
 Heres tip to other papers in the Territory Let's get together and bring this matter the attention of this Legislature Our services from the territorial cap to will be completely satisfactory they will corre Spond directly to the record of each body and the pub lie at large will be directly and fully informed from day to day.

Experiment With
 Tung Oil Trees
 As New Industry
(By The Associated press) BEAUMONT. Tex, Jan. 8,

bEAUMONI. Tex, Jan. 6, - Farmers in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana are experi- menting with tung oil groves in quest of a new money crop with potential $50 an acre annual return.
 Some 200 experiments are in progress in the two states and sponsors estimate that 500,000 trees will be growing in the ter ritory within a year. A mill for crushing the oil out of the tung tree nuts has been promised within two or three years" if the trees prove profitable.
 Tung oil, known as the most powerful driving oil produced, is used chiefly as a Waterproofing agent in paints and varnishes and kindred products.
 Tung nuts are grown profitably in some sections of Florida, Geo. rgia, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana, but the bulk of tung oil comes from the Orient.

NEED FOR PROPER LEGISLATIVE PUBLICITY

The Nugget recently published an editorial calling the attention of legislators to the necessity of providing at this session of the Alaska Legislature sufficient funds to defay the of regular daybyday account of the proceedings of that body while is in session. prepared by the Clerks of the senate and of the house of repre- sentatives.
 For many years now, small newspapers throughout the territory called upon to print all kinds of new bills laws. publicity regarding this department and still publicity concerning another branch Noth- ing done in the way paying for this publicity which is necessary adjunct in the passage of legislation and the acquanting of the public with the new laws and regulations by which they must be governed.
 On top of this the public expects, and rightly so full account of the proceedings while the Legislature in session. Here again the various newspapers through out the Territory have stood the cost of obtaining daily teegraphic news from Juneau, and likely not it includes all manner and kinds of news and perhaps the vital proceeding concerning the special division is eith Ter entirely overlooked has been slipped up, but the cost goes on nevertheless
 What the Nome Daily Nugget suggests is this:
 Have the clerks of the two houses incorporate in combination press telegram to all papers in the Terri tory the actual proceedings for the day. from their mnutes-bils submitted committee reports bills pass ed signed what bills will likely be coming up for sderaon etc., and the general standings of the bodies in their days business. The material to be unbiased and serve Legislative Record of the days work, would in turn acquain the entire electorate with affairs they stand from day to day. and those interested in the welfare of proper legislation for the territory would be in intelligent position to assist their legislators Juneau, and help in guiding their votes to the extent of the effect their division
 ITO meet the telegraphc expenses of this it is sug gested that appropriation bill be passed setting aside sufficient funds pay the tolls the US Signal Corps system Should this be ineXpedient is suggested that

 You can see the importance of such a service on a small scale when you look at the Congressional Record published daily of the proceedings of the National Con- gress. The importance of this publication lives after and from year to year. yard stick of the work done at Washington, D. C.
 The idea suggested is somewhat the same only that a review of the days work would be printed without cost by the newspapers throughout the Territory and at the same time would be the record, to which the public at large could refer with complete confidence and belief

u. 5. Stamps Chosen
By Junior Collectors

According to the manner Of the
majority Of junior collectors In
this country, the trend is toward
collecting United States stamps.
Disregard is made Of beautiful
stamps issued by foreign countries.
Recently a youngSter informed
this department that he intended
to collect only United States
stamps. His father collects only
United States stamps and looks
with disfavor on foreign stamps.
He said:
"No 1 haven't any foreign
stamps. Not one. 1 have either
given them away or traded them
for U. S. You just can't make
a complete collection of foreign
stamps"
He was a bit surprised when we
informed him that unless he were
a CroesuS he couldn't hope to
complete a collection Of United
States stamps. He must be pre-
pared to spend $3.50, 900 and $780,.
900 to fill the first page Of his
album.
Naturally, junior collectors
should give preference to United
States stamps, but also collect for
eign as well. Even if he or she
saves only stamps which come
without expenditure, an attractive
and interesting collection can be
] achieved over a period Of years.
