News Behind the News
BY PAUL MALLoN-

per week for a $40 servant, that
is, unless the taxes are raised
later on.
Something like the same idea
would be applied to farmers for
itinerant help.
Thus will the New Deal in
part be brought home to all.
NOTE-Or nearly all. Inner
arrangements call for extension
of SIS also to employees Of
charitable institutions, but not
to seamen or to Government
employees.
Where Will 1t Go?
MO one will be told that the
AN Government does not take
this money and keep it for the
old age or for the needy day Of
the waShwoman, but spends 1t
as fast as it comes in for bat
tleships, cooling systems, sal
aries, mileage of congressman
and all the miscellaneous ex-
pense of Government.
No one will say that this
source of revenue will soon be
the main reliance to keep the
Government going, or that when
the payments come due the
money may have to be raised all
over again by other taxes or
floating more debt.
No one here is worrying pri-
marily about that. Possibly be-
cause all expect to be dead or
beyond political retribution by
the time the biggest bulk OF the
payments become due. And
those whose money is thus in
Government custody cannot get
excited about it because they
know the Governments ability
to raise money is still better
than, say, the Boston wizard of
finance, Mr.. Ponzi. who once
tried a similar idea in a private
way, and went to Jail for it.
The Social Security advisory
committee has held that this
method of not keeping what is
known as the reserve fund" is
all right. A subcommittee OF
the Senate Judiciary Committee
is studying the problem in hopes
of finding a better way, but 1t
may be safely said, as far as the
spending element Of New Deal
officialdom Is concerned, this
way is all right with them.

AT LAST. THE SMALL BOAT HARBOR

The last and most important barrier to construc- tion of the Juneau small boat harbor has been re- moved The War Department which long since had approved the project has set aside the money for its construction according to an exclusive news dispatch in yesterdays Empire, and it is planned to undertake work immediately.
 It is the best piece of news that has come to Ju- neau in long time and it is the climax of effort in which this community has worked in unity for the past several years It reveals again that united effort will get results when properly applied has been the case in the struggle for the small boat harbor
 Some excellent work has been done by local in terests in bringing this achievement about The Chamber of Commerce which took the leadership left no stone unturned in gathering data and presenting the case Hearings were held before Col. H J Wild, District Engineer of Seattle, and persistent campaign carried with the War Department and into Congress Under the charmanship of Allen Shattuck, the Chambers small boat harbor committee provided the information and Delegate Anthony J. Dimond diligently with the Chamber forces in present. ing the and attempting to get the s232OoO item included in the rivers and harbors bill When that move failed the effort continued When the Delegate here recently he reported that there question but that the small boat harbor would be an actuaty by next year at the latest. Now it appears that the War Department has seen it's way clear to act sooner It has set aside the money for part of the work to be undertaken during this calendar year.
 The cooperation of the Chamber. the Delegate the Governors office city'officals and the individual citizens of this community has brought results
 And great deal of credit is due the War Depart ment From the start the Army engineers have given the project serious and careful consideration En- gineers have been sent here several occasions to make surveys and to look sites.
