and towns from Vancouver to Hazelton, and when branch roads built, would also serve Terrace, Prince Rupert Stewart, Premier, Big Missouri Tele- graph Creek Dease Lake and Atlin in Northern Brit sh Columbia; Carcross, Whitehorse, Mayo and Daw- son in the Yukon; and Hyder, Ketchikan, Wrangell, Petersburg Juneau, Skagway and all other communl- ties the Panhandle of Alaska.
 Until quite recently, the Western, or (A) route from Hazelton north considered by all informed persons to be the best route not only from the point view of serving the greatest number of estabished communities but also, from engineering point Of view.
 Of late for reason publicity released to popu- arze another route, and one member of the United States Commission for the highway to Alaska, has made a definite statement that the route for the highway would follow line of deep valleys 200 miles east of the Pacific Coast" meaning of the Rocky Mountain Trench, which would prevent all western communities north of Vanderhoof from participating in any benefits from the construction of the north-south road.
 If the highway to Alaska is routed via the Rocky Mountain Trench, it would not the Panhandle of Alaska it would not established communities in Northern British Columbia or the Yukon but would be a direct road to serve Fairbanks.
 It would seem logical that before making definite statements to where the highway will be routed, two important steps should be taken. They are to consult and get the opinions of residents in South east Alaska residing the Panhandle and the resi- dent in British Columbia residing north of Wander hoof and also make survey of the Western, or (A) route from HaZelton.
 It has taken ten years to crystalline the thought of two nations action for the road project Why introduce Rocky Mountain Trench" resistance into the plan for building highway to Alaska?

Promise 'em Anything
CNew York world-Telegram)

The Republicans of Massachusetts have just made
 deal with the Townsendtes to get the latter's sup port in return for Q Republican pledge to influence Congress to give Townsend plan bills an early and complete hearing.
 Democrats need not preen themselves in superi- orty at this exhibition for their party is not by any means too good to frt with Townsendsm when it can get away with it profitably. The Democratic primaries in California two months ago were swept by the slogan of S30every Thursday Of course that isn't real Townsendism The orthodox doctrinares reegae that to the lunac fringe and besides the $50 isn't enough.
 Candidates in both major parties have stopped to the same cruel votecatchng tommyrot and neither can turn up its nose at the other on this point The result is as large contribution possible to public dsrespect for politicians
 The Massachusetts Republicans, having promised merely to work for a hearing the Townsend plan, may think they picking up the old-age votes at price which will represent no cost to anyone. In fact however it will be paid in the disappointment and dsiusion of pathetic old people who are led to believe in this rosytinted hocus-pocus. The public will pay in the and tear that comes from political racketeering and foggy Messahs.
 If any other politicians feel the temptation to encourage delusions under the stress and necessity for votes they might just well widen their appeal. Instead $2OO every month why don't they promise no more tropical hurricanes of diamonds under every ones feet One quack remedy is worthy another.

 It would seem nothing could be more humble for the donor safe for the recipient than bouquet of flowers But no-at least not in Germany. In the land of the swastika, a bunch of can acerate the tender hide of big strong dictator. Entering Sudetenland conqueror, the master of middle Europe Herr Hitler was greeted quite too effusively.
 A bouquet thrown at him by an admrer-one of the lberated-landed too hard, scratched his face, and led to edct. The edict to the effect that hereafter Naz leaders in all districts will be held personally responsible for the restraint of flower throwers.
 What many objective or antagonistic foreigners will wonder at is the innocence of the missiles n- variably showered Der Fuehrer If bouquet can be thrown so neatly to catch him squarely across the mustache, why not a baseball? Or something memorable?
 Perhaps this was in the mind of the masterful man of Berchtesgaden when he ordered end of flower throwing. If he thinks the list of these who have reason to fear hate him-and it is long lst-he may find some reason to believe that bouquets will not always be innocent
 Quite apart from such suspicious thoughts as these, however, it seems pity that flower throwing is to be squeIched like many other delightful Teu- tonic customs It is the unfortunate since Herr Hitler may keep marching into newly conquered countries every and then Florists from the Rhine to the Black Sea will find deep disappointment in ukase which does such violence to their hope oi profit

Pressure from New Deal and conservative sources alike is bearing down already to force Congress to ac. this coming session one of the toughest dishes on it's bill of fare-legisation eliminating tax exemp- ton from salaries and securities of state and federal governments
 By a long series of decisions beginning with Chief Justice John Marshall the Supreme Court has held that the Federal government can tax its own em- poyees and securities but can't tax those of the states In turn the states cannot tax those of the Federal government The result has been huge nc-nans land in which billions in capital has hidden from the tax gatherer
 Supporters of such exemptions argue that with inc power to tax state securities and salaries, the Federal government could ham-string the states by discriminatory taxes and St destroy the dual state federal system of government. Answering argument is that members of Congress who enact tax legislation never would permit destruction of their own state governments.
 senator Byrd of Virginia conservative though he s began the drive in 1887 to break down the tax doors and the President put his weight behind 1t last session Byrd declares an amendment is necessary but tle President seems to think the present court might reverse the old decision. In that simple act of Congress would accomplish the trick.
 As it stands now 37 billion dollars of Federal securities paying approximately billion year in interest is exempt from state taxes CMost of this debt is not taxed by the Federal government either but simple act of Congress change that)
 In addition, it is shown by figures from official sources quoted by Senator Byrd oOOOOO Federal em- ployees drawing sl5O0oOO0OO in salary exempt from state taxes while 100000 and local off- cals with their six billion dollar payroll, do not pay Federal taxes
 Various sources indicate approximately 60 billion of public securities paying interest of two billion or more yearly are exempt in part from Federal or state levies The bulk is in the hands of private porations or individuals
 stiff fight is ahead Legislation ending such exemptions only subjects a congressmans salary to state taxes but brings upon his neck the myriads of Federal employees who don't want to pay state taxes, and state employees who don't want to pay Federal Big and little investors in tax-exempt se- curtieS will be there too.

ProspeCtor Is
 Crubstaked by
 Doing Bar Work

MT. and Mrs. D. A. Stanton, pros pectors in the Koyukuk the last three years, are on their way to Haines, to continue their search for gold on the upper reaches of the Chilkat River, says the Fairbanks News Miner.
 In order to make their grubstake. the Stantons sniped on the bars of the Koyukuk, at Alatna and at Hughes. An experienced sniper, MT. Stanton has decided that bar work is the surest way for a prospector to keep going until he finds a really profitable creek He has been prospecting most of the time the last six years.
 Use Fire Bose
 Using two 12-foot whipsawed box es, fire hose, and a pump powered with a hp. gasoline engine, the Stantons averaged $16 per day for 50 days on a bar two miles below Hughes during the summer just past. Early in the season the river was low, but the water was too high for bar work most of the summer.
 They sold their outfit to Milford Evans, trader at Alatna, who in turn sold it to Johnny Old Man, Hudson Stuck, and two other In- ] dians. These natives, employed by IL. McGee at Hughes during the summer, are now working for them selves with the outfit Stanton had used.
