OUR INCONSISTENCIES


 At least the week end, the Territorial Leg sature was record for asking Congress to remove the Alaska exclusion clause from the Merchant Marine Act commonly known as the Jones law Late Sat urday afternoon the Senate by vote of five to three approved memorial to that effect which pre- viously passed the House.
 But the action was short-lived Senator Powers gave notice of reconsideration and the second vote yesterday the measure died by margin of two votes even it has died biennially over the years with each Legislature.
 The Jones law as has been pointed out many times prohibits the handling of goods from one American port to another by foreign carrier and is aimed a protection for the American merchant marine. Alaska however, is excluded under the act which that while residents of continental United States given the full rights of citizens, the people of Alaska not afforded the same priv eges and in the instance of the Jones law we are entitled to privileges under an established law of the land.
 Why Alaskans should be discrimnated against is a mooted question, but why, on one hand, we cry for full Territorial government and on the other support clear discrimination against ourselves is even of mystery.
 It may well be such inconsistencies which arc deerring progress toward further home rule

it will De impossible to have mere Presidential puppets confirmed by a Senate as torn as this one is over the court issue.
 g. To increase the size of the court to possible fifteen members means to reduce its efficiency and promote greater delay in adju- cation; also it sets a precedent whereby an- other President can have a court of twenty or thirty or forty by cutting down the retire ment age limit through action of a subservi- ent Congress Administration answer: Law yers differ on the first point, and the assertion cannot be proved. The second point fails on the ground of improbability But even so, such future result would be accomplished through democratic process, and it is not de- mocracy to leave judges free to veto acts of Congress through the operation of sefile, stubborn or prejudieed minds. iri,l..iTH1i

The people had no notice of anything remotely resembling the Presidents plan.s He should have expounded it during the cam paign or go to the people with it now in the form of constitutional amendment. Admin ,istration answer: The people knew from Octo- ber 1932-because the Republican candidates and orators constantly warned them that MT Roosevelt, if elected and reelected, in- tended to try to bring the Supreme Court ma iorty into closer step with Congress and the Executive. He could not have expounded his plan in the 1886 campaign because it was not evolved until after the election thorough constitutional amendment vide the child labor submission-is too difficult to write and requires too long for adoption if it is highly controversial the need for court reform is immediate Also, whenever major party op poses constitutional amendment = as the Republicans would oppose court change-it cannot be adopted, because one more than third of the members of one branch of the Legislature in thirteen ;States-though they may not represent more than l per cent of the population-can prevent. 2if as,
 4 The plan looks to the extension of Presidential power from Congress to the courts, and, because it destroys the constitu- tional system of checks and balances. violates the American idea Administration answer: The plan does not require the addition of word to the Constitution, does not reduce the power of the court, does not alter it's prac tice of decision by bare majority, and gives President no ore9influence than public opin- ion will Support. Also, under the present lack of method to keep the Supreme Court abreast of new national problems, there is no check against the court, but only against the President and Congress by one another The check proposed is sufficiently light and in- formal to uphold the dignity of the court.

With Washington in turmoil over the Pres dents plan for stepping up court procedure and the Liberty League coming to life in a mild way the matter, millions of words are due to be written into the Congressional Record and spread about the land arguments rampant up tc final action by Congress. To the average layman the subject appears little complicated in view o the differences of opinion but Arthur Krock poitca expert for the New York Times, writing from the firing line in the national capital gives enlighten- ing outline of the major arguments against and the Administrations replies.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 3, 1887 Benefic aspects rule today, ac- cording to astrology, which finds the stars stimulating and encour- aging in their influences.
 In the morning the judgement should be reliable and the vision clear The sway should be bene- ficial for commerce, although many extraordinary conditions will pre- |yail. "
 This is an suspicious planetary government for those who start |new enterprises or who enter, into strange positions as employees or executives with wide authority.
 Industry is we'll directed. Organ ized labor will make steady gains in scope and reforms effecting working conditions.
 Definite agreements should be postponed and contracts should be delayed, for the planets frown upon quick decisions and decisive acts.
 In this year individualism and selfish devotion to personal ambi- tions will be marked. These ten dencies will cause many conflicts in organizations of every sort.
 Congress and state legislatures now will be affected by configu- ration which encourages sharp diff ferences of opinion and heated de- bates
 E Teievision now is to become im- proved to a point where it will be- come major interest. Its practi- cal side will be demonstrated by use in offices and homes. fiji
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of in- Itruding anxieties. Deceit and trick cry may affect business as well as domestic relations. z
 Children born on this day prob- ably will be exceedingly determ- ined and aggressive. Subjects of this sign usually persist in their aims and success is generally att tained.
 Alexander Graham Bell, inven- tor of the telephone, was born on this day 1847. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Edward Dickinson Duffield, law yer and life insurance head, 1871 i; Walter J., Kohler, manufacturer, 1876; Adelaide Neilsen, actress, 1848.
