promise on any basis which docs
not enable him 10 establish a lib
eral majority on the supreme
court.
THE administration is interested
in the bill permitting justices
to retire on full pay $4,000
year, for three reasons:
/. It wants to let the public
know the aged justices it wants
off the bench would be taken
care Of"
2. It will be delighted if two or
three of the justices take advan-
tage of the retirement privilege
when the bill. passes. Heretofore
Congress has passed special pen
sion act when'a justice retired.)
3. Members of Senate and House
see in vacancies caused by retire
ment their only chance of getting
on the supreme court, since law
forbids any member to occupy an
office created during the current
congressional session.
THERE is reason to believe that
Roosevelt will get the support
OF most of the organized farm
owner strength, following Secre-
tary Wallace's statement that the
New Deal farm program could
hardly be considered. safe under
recent supreme court rulings. The
program - including AN annual
S5oo,0O0,O0o subsidy, 6crop insur-
ance, productions controls and
loans--is being dangled before
farmers. President Ed O'Neal Of
the powerful American Farm Blu
reau Federation, has been allowed
to be kingfish in agricultural mat
tiers here for four years. His sup
port is considered in the bag.
Labor's Non-Partisan !. League

Federation of Labor (Bill Green),
are in the Roosevelt camp. The

mined opponents of Roosevelt's
proposal to liberalize the supreme
court.
"Time is on our side,p echo the
supporters of the plan.
Anyway, time will tell. Neither
side is rushing the issue.
The opposition hopes to pile up
enough pressure to block the
measure despite claims of admin

small edge in the Senate. Attacks
by some state legislatures, bar as

While picked men from both

THOUGHTS WHILE THINKING
BY WICKES WAMBOLDT
WHAT'S IN A NAME?

1t matters not so much What
you call it. 1t is the way it is
administered that counts. You can
place the finest form of govern
ment imaginable in the hands of
political crooks and it will be a
crooked government. Some types
of government have finer posi-
bilities than others, but no kind
of government will take the place
of integrity and ability.

JUNEAU'S GROWING PAINS

Juneau is mighty busy place this summer and growing much more rapidly than the casual observa- tion that most of make reveals. Probably the best barometer is the record of building permits as pub lished in The Empire yesterday That account shows that up to Monday of this week than $200000 has been spent building in the city since the first of the year While the figure itself is impressive, it is more so when notes the wide number of pro- jects which covers If there had been or two big buildings erected at cost of $200000 it would not have been as indicative of the growth of Juneau as the fact that of properties have been remodeed .and new homes built this past spring. The latter the sort of construction that reveals growing pains and Juneau is having good strong attack this spring and summer
 It is something to consider when the citizens of this community talk about future projects aimed to better our general existence, such as the swimming pool the small boat harbor and similar undertakings. Any projects undertaken to serve great many more people than they did few years ago. Ju- neau is growing by leaps and bounds. If census taken today the result would surprise most of us
 There are families in the community. The sschools show increased enrolment every fall The tax roll is growing. More people paying something toward the upkeep of the community.

A GOOD AVERAGE SALMON YEAR


 It is safe to the fishing season gets into illswing is virtually in Bristol Bay that the salmon pack in Alaska this year is not going to reach the record mark of last when slightly more than eight million put up. That was the biggest pack in history by good margin and not even the most optimistic expected to have two years in which would s50000O00 taken from the waters of Alaska. Even in the north where we used to bumper seasonal returns that is little too much to expect.
 But despite the apparent fact that not going have another banner year in 1937 the salmon pack promises to be a very substantial one and ac- cording to officials, should compare favoraby with 1885 and Bristol Bay will show up much better because there only limited 200,000case pack in that two years ago whereby this year with the running its normal it is expected touch the million-case mark at least.
 L. G. Wingard of the Bureau of Fisheries pointed the other day that the pack far this season is around 1950,O00 cases, nearly million. Last season at the time it 27930O0 while ir 1885 it 156300o cases revealing that the 1887 pack

Canadian Wives
 Winning Rights

MONTREAL, July 22.-Rights of married women in Quebec were ex- t e n d e d. and new jurisprudence created, when the court of appeals ruled that a wife, separate as to property, is entitled to sue without her husbands consent.
 The judgment was directly con- trary to superior court rulings in the issue.
 MT. Justice Barclay pointed out that the lower court jurists had wrongly interpreted changes made in the civic code on the reconmen- dation of commission which in- vestigated the legal status of wives in 1881.
 The case in point was a damage action taken by Dame Phyllis Isles against Arthur Patterson for com pensation for injuries sustained in an auto accident.
 The lower court had given judg- ment in favor of the woman. Pat terson, the motorist, appealed on the grounds that Mrs. Isles had no right to sue him, since she had failed to obtain her husbands con- sent to the action.
 Feminist leaders in Montreal hail the appeal court ruling as a signal victory.

Church Growth
Cincinnati Enquirer

Cincinnati Enquirer
 Contrary to general public notion, church mem bership in the United States has not declined in re- cent years. Instead it has gained out of proportion to the increase in population during the last decade
 Church membership statistics compiled by Mrs. Maude H. Kieffer who completed the work begun by her husband the late Dr. George Linn Kiefter statis tican of the National Lutheran Council, reveal that in 1886 out of every two persons in the United States belonged to church--the exact percentage was 4943. Mrs. Kieffers findings reported in the Christian Herald, showed that while the ten-year in crease in population between 1926 and 1936 H. 429.000 persons church membership gained 8989866 during the period.
 Thus rather than waning during the last decade, church membership was shown to have grown rea lively faster than the nations population. The per centage of church members in 1926 46.60 or 283 percent less than last year.
 Mrs. Keffers compilation shows that the mem bership increases were not restricted to few demo- ininations but prevailed generally in most In fact only two denominat tions the Friends and the Uni versaists were shown to declined in membership during the decade
 All in all, the statistics show trend not away from religion, many had supposed, but toward it. The last decade has brought circumstances which normally would cause people to seek spiritual sustenance but it also has been filled with dvertng influences. The nations churches evidently have not been insensibe to their opportunities, and cer tainy not impotent to overcome their difficulties.
