147 YEARS OF VALIANT SERVICE

"A Coast Guard Gutter is speeding to the rescue.
 No news dispatch of disaster along the coast or far out. to is complete without that uaoluohal line It is much part of the American vocaouiary as the Marines have landed and have the situation well in hand" And it is more historic. Long before the Marines were part of our national defense the Coast Guarders then the Revenue Cutter Service speeding to the rescue.
 It is just 147 years ago today that the Coast Guard was put service by then Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton under President George Wash ington-Augus A. 179o It was the first move of the infant Republic of the United States to protect its maritime commerce and handle customs revenue In fact was the first step toward present Navy The Navy as it is known today was not established until eight years later in 1798 There had been what was known as the Continental Navy during the Revo- lutionary War but it had been disbanded at the time that Washington and Hamilton put into the service the Revenue Gutter Service, which in 1915 became officially known the United States Coast Guard
 The record of the Coast Guard as it marks today it's 47th birthday is of heroism and outstanding service. No arm of the government has done more toward preserving life and happiness and fostering American commerce than the Coast Guard.
 When Amelia Earhart was iost recently in the South Pacific the first news dispatches carried the line "the Coast Guard Cutter Itasca is speeding to the scene where the plane was last reported Major oH minor disaster and the cutters to the rescue
 Here in Alaska We are more familiar with the Coast Guard perhaps than places in the States. the cutters important part of everyday existence The number of lives and amount of ship ping that has been saved off the Alaskan coast through the efforts of the Coast Guard into large figures Countless gasboats, distressed by storms have been rescued; passengers have been taken safely from wrecked passenger liners; the injured and the sick have been speeded by Cutter from isolated spots to medical attention. The Coast Guards record of serv ice is being made even more effective through the addition of larger and faster Cutters in Alaska waters
 We in the north have ample reason to pay tribute today and every day for that matter to that sterling group of men who make up the United States Coast Guard service. Their motto is service to mankind and they live up to the letter of that motto. We feel security in that traditional old line:
 "A Coast Guard Cutter is speeding to the rescue. :.

CONTROL OF GAME AND FUR

Alaska's proposal presented through Delegate Dmond to obtain Territorial control of game and fur has met with strong opposition from the Department of Agriculture which has full control of these Alaska resources. And there is considerable sound argument in the statement of the Department agans the bill published in yesterdays Empire. Especi ally it is stressed that the Territory itself is not fin ancally able to handle fur and game from its owr resources There is considerable to that point There also is something to the argument that the Depart ment through the Biological Survey is attempting to has the more adequate finances to do so The work the Department is doing is in most respects dable.
 But there is angle of fur and game contro which does not set well with most Alaskans. cluc to it is found in the following paragraph taken iron the Departments statement in opposing the Dimond bill: 4
 "The Territory of Alaska contains the last grea stand of wild life under the Jurisdiction of the Govern ment of the United States and many people in var sections of the country, including sportsmen con. seryationiss. and lovers of wild e deeply inter ested in insuring its proper and adequate conser vation."
 It is happy situation that such people inter ested in Alaska wild life That as it should be Bu what sometimes gals Alaskans is the apparent att tude that interests of those sporsmen and conserva tonists in the States before the of h residents of Alaska
 typical example of the point is duck shooting season There not enough duck shooters in Al aska to wad shotgun in comparison with the horde that sally forth after migratory fowl in the States Nevertheless, Aaskans forced to be bound by tn same strict shooting rules and regulations which per tain to the Mississippi valley, for example. Alaskan feel that they are being penalized unnecessarily il orde tO he Of etates The viewpoint may be exaggerated at times but it is something for the Department to conside in it's management of fur and game in the Territory Surely the interests of the 6000O persons who mak up the population of Alaska need not be sacrificed in order to make much larger number of sportsmel end conservatonists n the States happy.
 The Department has an excellent setup in tn

 Men interested in big business will profit greatly through the next few weeks, it is prognosticat- l ed. Trade is to be heavy and ex- ports will increase.
 Fluctuations in the stock market will be sudden and there may be a slump of serious international sig nificance early in the autumn.
 Mining interests should prosper. Gold and silver outputs this season are to be large and new ore fields are to be discovered but their loca- tion may be kept secret. ] Building will continue to be push le ed and public edifices will rise in many cities. Engineers and archi- tects will be kept busy for many weeks, it is forecast.
 This is fairly favorable rule for women and encourages in a mild way sentiment that may lead to marriage Girls may be too much inclined toward initiative in TO- nance.
 August marriages will be lasting if the ceremony is performed under this configuration, but there may be economic problems all through life.
 In the evening of this day there is a sign most encouraging to in- dustry. The seers foretell some sort of armistice in labor strife.

Debt and Taxes for Social Security
Business Week.

The Social Security program is here to stay and business will have to pay taxes for it. But the amount of the taxes will largely depend whether the pro- gram is modified saney or is permitted to develop wrongly During the fiscal year that began on July l, the federal old-age and unemployment taxes will bring in S7Oo0OO000, and it has been estimated that 10 years the principal social security taxes will be hree billions annually.
 But that is the assumption that the pensions and benefit payments will be held down to their pres mt levels-whch is not a safe assumption Congress may increase the payments It may also the old tgereserve account in way that will add to the tax- oayers load As that huge fund arises higher and is invested in government obligations, Congress should educe the federal debt in private hands. Otherwise here will be net addition to the federal debt result ng in larger interest cost and higher taxes The way to prevent that by curtaing the fund and put
 ing social security on pay-as-you-go basis.

hill" IGNORES
PRESIDENT ON
civil SERVICE
By EARL GOODWIN

When it comes to the extension
Of the Civil Service to new Gov
ernment agencies, it seems to be.
q case Of one word Of advice from
the President-and Congress does
just what it pleaseS.
In the face Of determined pleas
by the President for more Civil
Service and fewer commissions,
Congress now is about to lay on
the Presidents desk the Guffey
Coal Commission with eight $10,-
900 jobs at the top and 1000 en-
ployes-one-half Of whom are out
side Of the Civil Service-good
usable patronage for political use.
The Presidents message to
Congress regarding the Brownlow
report on administrative manage
nnent transmitted a report which
definitely frowned on existing in.
dependent commissions outside of
the departments. The President
explained that while commissions
might be all right, they should
not be outside the departmental
organizations. Commissions, he eX-
planned, should be permitted to
carry on their work, but should
report to the Chief Executive
through the department heads.
This was a large part Of the Pres
ident's scheme Of reorganizing the
existing set.up.
Shortly thereafter the House
passed the Guffey coal commits
sion bill, which is new NRA for
the soft coal industry. It pro-
vided for clerical employees in the
Civil Service, but also provided
for many special employees, special
lists and attorneys. The commits
sions is composed of several COM
missionerS at $4,000 and a con-
SumerS' counsel at the same fig
ure. The Senate did not increase
the $4,000 jobs, but reafranged
the personnel so that the Wash
ington clerical employees would be
under Civil Service, but field men
and other specialists, especially at
torneys and employees outside
Washington, are to be appointed
without regard to Civil Service.
T1AA prnciInVNf nNVNloiEAnI vnCfnSs
day that this and other new
agencies of government, where
Civil Service is disregarded, are
the works of Congress, without his
blessing or recommendation. The
matter of an outright veto of such
departures from the Civil Service
rule, he explained, is not neces.
sarily the way to bring the per
Sonnel under the Civil Service
rule. It is apparent the Presi-
dent wants to handle the whole
Government personnel matter ia
one Stroke-namely, under the
reorganization of the Government
Set-up which provides for whole.
sale inclusions under the Civil
Service.

Chairman Brownlow and the other
members of the Presidents COM
mittee on administrative manage.
ment, it was said that the hearings
on the. subject are proceeding salts
factorily. The President is reported
to be anxious to have Congress
The Washington times., 1937-04-07

enact the necessary reorganization
legislation at this session.
One difficult matter in the re-
organization plan is the Presidents
recommendation to abolish the
post of Comptroller General and
reorganize the entire accounting
system. The Brookings Institution
report on the subject is said to
recommend the immediate ap-
pointment of a new Comptroller
General, but the President said
yesterday that he believed nothing
would be done about that matter
at present.

income families. The letter also
stated that about $50 children were
taken care of in the nursery schools
during the school year of 1886 and
1887. After the letter had been read,
some of the delegates mentioned that
the nursery schools were doing a
remarkable service to the poor peo-
pie; that these infants were taken
from homes that had very little in
come; that the teacher taught the
children how to play, fed them nour-
ishing food, gave them a nap during
the day, and in many ways helped
to build up their physical and mental
character.
The Silver Bow Trades and Labor
Council endorsed the project and
hopes that it will continue. A new
plan or method that is being put
into effect by the WPA Administra-
ton, however, may not turn out so
well for these schools. The Trades
Council was informed that hence
forth the instructors and caretakers
of these children will be taken from
those on relief rolls. On the face of
it, this might seem to be alright, but
on the other hand where people
have been trained in the work
of taking care of the children, it
would seem only reasonable that
they should be continued in the
work whether they were on relief
or whether they weren't, that is it
should not be necessary for the
teacher to be on relief. There are
two things to consider. WPA prof
ects are designed to employ people,
that is true, but the nursery schools
are also designed to protect and pre-
serve the physical and mental
health of the children. The children
should not be sacrificed for a strict
adherence to whether the super
visors are on relief or not.
