Uses of that happy optimist, Chair
man Harrison of the senate finance
committee, that the government
will be able to get by for 1887 with
out asking this congress to boost
taxes, what happens?
i. Why, in a most annoying way,
Governor Eccles of the federal re-
serve board keeps proclaiming that,
to make treasury receipts come
anywhere near meeting treasury
disbursements throughout the year,
he's afraid it's going to be neces-
sary to raise the rates on incomes
and profits higher than ever.
And meanwhile state governors
and civic authorities scream with
agony at the bare prospect of any
reductions in Uncle. SAINTS ,allot-
ments for local projects. g:

be like Santa Claus, something
everybody talks about but nobody
ever expects to see..

Self-Determination.

FORMERLY the states jealousy
= guarded their sovereign per-
quisites. Once-but that was so
long ago many have almost forgot
ten it-they fought among them
selves one of the bloodiest civil
wars in history over the issue of
states rights.
Now we see them complacently
surrendering to federal bureaus
those ancient privileges-and may
be, after all, that's the proper thing
to do, if in centralized authority lies
the hope Of preserving. a republican
form of government.
In democracies there exists the
false theory that all men are born
free and equal. So the Englishman
insists on having his freedom, which
is a concrete thing, and laughs at
thu idea of equality. Whereas, the
American abandons his individual
freedom provided he may cling to
the fetish of equality.

 Several meetings nave been held, organizations m the city have whole -heartedly endorsed such pro- gram but now months later, there is still only talk about a swimming pool. At the last meeting or the group named to handle the project the remarkable statement was made that swimming pool in con- junction with the schools would be nuisance and danger" The statement attributed to A. B. Phillips Superintendent of Schools, who has custody of the school children of Juneau nine months of each year.
 It may be that swimming pool is nuisance and a danger" but was it not the fact that danger turks in every unsupervised pool of water where per- sens go to swim that caused this community to rise up suddenly in demand for proper swimming facilities in Juneau two months ago?
 In most of the high schools of the States today a swimming credit is necessary for graduation and the same provision is virtually universal in institutions of higher learning Of course. that is condition which prevails in the States and it may not be suit able for Juneau but difficult for to believe that fathers and mothers in Juneau not just as con- cerned about the welfare of their children the fahersSand Tapnners in the States where they have insisted swimming instructions in most of the schools

NEW SYSTEM

 PLANNED NOW
France Works on Scheme to Win Battles Via
 Television

PARIS, Aug. 2.-French techni- cal experts are working night and day to adapt teleyision to the needs of their military forces.
 ] General / Andre. Niesel. former member of the Superior War Coun- cil,, asserts that television soon will make it possible for aviators to transmit to the general staff hour to hour views from behind enemy lines.
 Behind its own lines, General Niessel says, the French army will be able to flash television maps from headquarters to firing line posts. Televised orders will be flash cd in a fraction of the time nec-
 essary to send them by wireless And there will be no errors in trans mission, for the original signed doc ument will appear on receivers.
 Because television can transmit a written ord CT of hundreds of words instantly, General Niessel be- lieves its use will make for secrecy. Direction finding instruments can ascertain the position of a radio sending station, but General Mes sel believes. television will make lthat extremely difficult. Instant transmission by television will give enemy scouts little time to adjust direction finding instruments where as in wireless, the time necessary to send message gives ample op- rortunityi to discover the stations position.
