JUSTICES MAY EXPRESS VIEWS
 ON JUDICIARY
Would Be Proper for Them to Appear Before Senate
 Committee, Court Bill

WASHINGTON, March 18.-Sen- atorial opponents of President rRooseyelt's judiciary bill declared today that it would be entirely prop CT for members of the Supreme Court to express their views at the Senate hearings being held on the bill now.
 Senator Burton K. Wheeler. Mon- tana, who contends that constitu- tional amendment is the only way to limit the Courts powers said that "the President and others have quoted from Chief Justice Hughes and Justices Wells, Brandies and Stone. Why shouldn't the country have the benefit of the opinions o1 the Justices themselves about the problems confronting us and how they should be met"
 Dean Leon Green, of Northwest ern University Law School. told the committee that the majority of the Court had assumed the attitude of intolerance and has displayed intemperance toward such legisla- tion it has passed upon"
 He added that the Court should be subject to the same check as other departments of the govern ment.

APPROPRIATION FOR ALASKA AIR
 MAIL LISADvISED
Senate Committee Recom- mends Aids to Air Navi-
 gation, Develop Alaska

WASHINGTON, Mar 18.-Saying that the development of Alaska "de- bends upon more adequate conn munication service" the Senate Commerce Committee has recom- mended an appropriation for what it termed foreign" air mail be- tween Juneau and Fairbanks.
 "The Post Office Department might well request an amendment to the Alaska Star Route Law which permits the Postmaster General to provide reasonable surcharges on mail carried by air over those air lines," the Committee said, on the basis of 1885 appropriations.
 The annual report of Gov. John w. Troy of Alaska said that s2,90o,- 900 was needed for air navigation aids. The Senate Commerce Com- mittee invited special attention to that problem, advocating generous appropriations to meet it.
 The Committee said that such aids were needed. mot only to cover the needs of national defense but to make possible the only feasible transportation system that can be installed to develop this great country"

CHAMBER BACKS REPEAL OF TAX
 ON s. s. FIRMS
Connors Protests Action as Unfair to Other Business
 Which Has to Pay

Backing the action uf its execu- tive committee. the Juneau Cham Der of Commerce at it's luncheon in the Terminal Cafe this noon voted to add it's endorsement to the bill now before Congress which would repeal the Federal statute of 1899 assessing dollar ton net tonnage tax on ships and shipping.
 James J. Connors suggested that the Chamber use more of busi- ness approach and pass resolution urging lowering of the tax, which he said, is admittedly too high. But he said, he could not see how the Chamber or any other body of men in Alaska could say to the steam ship companies come on boys and do all the business you want and we won't tax you" He declared that was exactly what the Chamber ac- tion amounted to, and in view oi the fact that every other business in the Territory pays tax, it was decidedly unfair to other business H.

N. W. A. P. COUNCIL

The Northwest Aviation Planning Council has announced it's next conference to be held in Boise, Ida ho, on June IT, 18 and 19. This is an organization which aims to har- monize airport construction and air route plans of the Northwest with the Federal military and civil air program and secure the construc- ton thereof through the unified support of Government department officials and the Members of Con- gress and Senators of the interested States.
 At the last meeting of the North west Aviation Planning Council, which was held in Portland, Ore, representatives were present from Alaska, Canada, and the four Northwest States. Resolutions were then approved recommending the establishment of an air mail route between Alaska and the United States, endorsing the Alaska airport program to be constructed at an estimated cost of $2,900,000, and also urging a central military air base for Alaska as the initial step in the Army air defense work. Con- tinued endorsement of the several aviation projects for the Territory should. be of definite value in ob- taining the needed facilities, and in order to have these needs pre- sented for inclusion in the further endorsement of the Northwest Avia- ton Planning Council, the Council

INTERNATIONAL HIGHWAY TAKEN
 UP, DISCUSSION
Delegate Dimond, Senator Schwellenbach Talk
 with Premier King
By J. J. ECKLES Secretary to Delegate DimOnd

WASHINGTON, Mar. 5-(Special Correspondence). In connection with the visit of Hon. Mckenzie King, Prime Minister of the Domin- ion of Canada, in Washington this week to discuss trade matters be- tween the United States and Cana da, Senator Schwellenbach and Delegate Dimond joined in re- quest to the President to use this occasion to speed arrangements tending toward early construction of the part of the International Highway that will connect Alaska through western Canada with the United States.
 The Delegate said that in his opinion the Highway project holds the greatest possibilities for general development of both northwestern Canada and Alaska of anything that could now be undertaken. He also pointed out that building the High way will greatly strengthen the ad- mirable bonds of friendship and sympathy, both economic and mor- al, that have always existed between the two countries.
 It is understood that the location and construction of the Highway is now being held up only on account of the problem of financing that part of the road that will be in Brit ish Columbia and Yukon Territory. AS this is the longest section of the route that will probably be chosen for the Highway the larger part of the cost will result from this con- struction, and since it is apparent that Alaska and the United States will enjoy greater benefit through the completion of the Highway than Canada will, the view has been ad- vanced that our Government can properly cooperate in financing part of the Canadian construction.
 It is known that the President is sympathetic toward construction of the proposed Highway and it is hoped that the Premier's call at the White House will result in some thing substantial being accom- plished in getting the work under way Senator Schwellenbach, Dr. Gruening, and Delegate Dimond have also tried to arrange for a conference with Premier King upon his return to Washington week or two later.
