EMS were expected to be close
Hlouthed outside the meeting hall
and they usually were, though it is said
that the genial and somewhat talkative
Benjamin Franklin, then in his Dos, was
usually accompanied at public dinners
by some discreet member to check him
from blurting out any secrets
George Washington, the presiding
officer, tolerated no iaxness in this mat
ter, and when members occasionally
nade slips, he seems to have talked to
them as though he might be intending
to spank them later on
An illustration is given by one of the
members, Pierce, from Georgia, who
relates that when the convention first
opened there were number of propo-
sitions brought forward as great leading
principles Of the new government to be
established A copy of them was given
to each member, with an injunction of
profound secrecy.
One morning a member, by accident,
dropped his copy Of the propositions. 1t
was picked UP and handed to Washing
ton, who put it in his pocket Just be-
fore putting the motion for adjourn
ment, Washington rose and admins
tered a stern rebuke
Gentlemen" he said, Il am sorry 10

paper it IS, but there it is, and he threw
it down on the table, adding, Let him
who owns it take it.
AT the same time he bowed, took his
hat. and left the room with a dignity
SO severe that, says Mr Pierce, every
one seemed alarmed. For nay part" he
continues. Il was extremely so, for, put
ting my hand IN my pocket, | missed
my copy of the same paper Pierce
found his paper later, however, in the
pocket of another coat, and felt inn
mensely relieved Nobody ever ven-
tured to claim the paper on the desk.
II Benjamin Franklin did not actually
blurt any secrets, he at any rate en-
livened the soiemnities Of the conven-
ton by flashes of wit and wisdom For
instance, when they were discussing the
provisions for impeaching president,
he remarked that these provisions would
confer favor on had president, since
without them he would probably be
assassinated and thus be mot only de-
prived Of his life but of the opportunity
Of vindicating his character
Apparently this genial philosopher
merited somewhat the remark of mod
ern historian that Franklin was not
entrusted with the task OF drawing up
the Declaration of independence, be-
cause his contemporaries were afraid he
might conceal a joke in IT..

WHEN the convention got around to
establishing the Supreme Court,
Franklin had an amusing proposal for

mode, in which the nomination pro
ceeded from the lawyers, who always
order to get rid OF him and share his
practice among themselves His re-
spectful contemporaries permitted the
8l-year-old sage this little joke: then
entrusted the selection of justices to the
President.
They easily agreed that the judicial
term should be life, and they forbade
Congress to reduce the judges salaries.
lest the legislative thus browbeat the
judiciary by financial threats It was
even proposed that Congress be denied
power to increase the salaries. in fear
that it might thereby bribe the Supreme
Court, but this was voted down, be-
cause, as Franklin said, money may
become plentier
As to a judicial veto, there was much
discussion and a close vote; but this
refers not to the power Of declaring
laws unconstitutional after they have
been enacted, but to the right to pre-
vent their enactment, regardless of their
conformity to the Constitution Follow
ing the proposal contained in Randolph's
Virginia Plan" that the Supreme Court
might join with the executive in veto
ing laws passed by Congress, Wilson OF
Pennsylvania argued that this was bet
ter than merely empowering the Court
to declare laws Unconstitutional cfsrr1a
time after their passage
When the time came to secure the
ratification by the people of the great
work of the Constitutional Convention,
battle royal was waged between the
creators and the objectors Illustrative
OF the latter is the attitude OF Patrick
Henry. Said he, in letter to George
Washington:
This government subjects everything
to the northern majority. We thus put
unbolnded power over our property
into hands not having common inter
est with us. Sir, this is picture so
horrid, SO wretched, so dreadful, that /
need no longer dwell upon it''
Washington replied in explanatory
and persuasive fashion
Your own judgment will at once dis
cover he wrote, sthe good and the
exceptional parts OF this Constitution:
and your experience OF the difficulties
which have ever arisen when attempts

its relation to the Supreme Court and
to the New Deal.
The roots Of this controversy reach
back beyond the Constitutional Conven-
ton Of 1887. whose sesquicentennial we
are commemorating this year, almost at
the same moment when Great Britain
is celebrating the coronation of the most
recent successor to that unfortunate
King George III whose mlsrule OF his
American colonies invited them TO re-
volt, and later to establish the Constifu-
tion Of the United States of America.
The convention assembled in Philadel-
phia On May 25, 1877, Ii days after the
day appointed.
In 1877 the Articles OF Confederation
held the Is states together just about
as firmly and hopefully as the League
of Nations unites the states Of the world
today. Somebody had to decide then
whether the states were to drift on
entirely apart or form genuine union
When suen grave emergencies have
arisen III United States history, the
really great leaders have usually met
them, not seeming TO care very much
whether or not there was any precedent
for their action
Thus George Washington and his
founders of this republic disre-
garded almost altogether the prescribed
method for amending the inadequate
Articles of Confederation when they
forced through the adoption Of the pres
ent Constitution The authorization was
not the laW-tflat they violated-but
rather the nations urgent need for
stronger central government.
For the convention had legal author
ity only to amend the Articles Of Con-
federation. and this required the con-
sent Of the legislatures of all i3 OF the
states. The delegates could either obey
the law and achieve little or nothing,
or disregard the law and create a new
and adequate constitution. They chose
the latter
So it is not surprising that the Con
stitatonal Convention decided to keep
It's debates strictly secret The official
journal OF the convention gave no
speeches, only the votes on the motions;
ard no outsider was permitted TO see
even this scanty record.

 Development In
 Alaska Industry

Expressing great confidence in the future of Alaska, Arthur C. Barlow, nationally known adver- Using executive recently declared that the Territory appeared to be entering period of expansion and development.
 Alaska contains some of the most beautiful country l have ev CT seen," Farlow said. While we were in the Territory we did some flying and saw a great deal of the Territory we would other wise have missed"
 Scenery is only the beginning in Alaska, however. Her tremen- dous timber and mineral resourc- es give real promise for the fut- ure of the Territory. Outside in- terest in Alaska is on the in- crease and as this interest grows, Alaska is bound to benefit from improved transportation and com munications. The recent opening of direct telephone communica- tion is the latest evidence of this This increased interest is bound to lead to greater use of Alaskan resources"

findings of this flight, which Far low made in company with can nery operators and fishermen, have already been published.
 We are very glad to have been able to see so many of our friends in the salmon industry and in other Alaskan affairs on this trip Farlow stated. 'The opportuni- ties we have had to see the act ual fishing and canning opera tions in Alaska, will be of great value to us in planning future advertising and publicity for Al aska's canned salmon.
 Discussing the fall marketing situation for canned salmon, Nor ton w. Mogge, who directs the salmon advertising activities, de- clared that while the inventory position of the industry was quite favorable, with the lowest carry over of unsold stocks in many years, the immediate sales pict- ure was hard to determine be- cause of the fact that increased production costs will make high CT retail prices necessary.
 "The salmon industry advertis- ing program has its most difficult job ahead of it this fall," Mogge said. We have sold a record vol tune of canned salmon through this marketing promotion, but now sales must be maintained at high level with stiff price in- crease. The industry sales pro- gram must be doubly effective this year if the industry and Al aska are to prosper"
