BUSINESS is
TO REVIVE AS
YEAR ROLLS ON
Industrial Leader Gives His
Views to Congress
During Day

WASHINGTON, Jan 20. One
business leader informed Congress
today, at a committee hearing, that
two-thirds of the country's manu-
facturers expect a business rise
sometime this year
The informant was Colby Ches-
ter, of the National Association of
Manufacturers. He testified before
the Senate Unemployment inquiry
and he based his statement on a
cross section report from 40 manu-
tacturers.
Fred Clausen, Wisconsin manu-
facturer, representing the United
States Chamber of Commerce, ex-
pressed before the House Ways and
Means, that its tax revision plan
didn't go far enough" He said the
undistributed profits tax should be
repealed Immediately nlS
While Congress was at work on
business problems, the White House
disclosed that President Roosevelt
is planning to call small business
men in conferences on ways of
regularizing business.
In the Senate a filibuster on the
anti-lynching bill continued and the
House also continued discussion of
the half billion naval bill.

in favor of single House Legisla-
ture memorial, but vote of six to
two in the Senate defeated the
measure.
Last summer, in Washington,
Delegate Dimond introduced a
House Bill to provide for refer
endum in Alaska as to whether or
not thu Territory desires one
house legislature.
Delegate Dimond," Wickersham
said, knows that unicameral leg
islature of "a members, as pro-
posed, will cost exactly as much as
and no more than two houses, one
of 16 members and the other of 8
He knows there will be no saving
of expense in adjustment of the
Senate as stated in the Dimond ref
erendum law"
Judge Wickersham pointed to the
fact that $50 years ago, the United
States set out with a President, a
Senate, and a House of Represen-
tatives.
Full Form of Government
THAT is the full form of Nation
al Territorial and State legislative
government" Wickersham said. 1T
is the full American form of gov
ernmentl"
1T has occurred to a few unwise
members of the lower House of the
Alaska Legislature to destroy such
a form of government in Alaska
Those who would tear down that in
stitution stated themselves in favor
of full Territorial form of gov
eminent
THE unicameral Legislature is
not full Territorial form of govern
ment!
Too Provincial
"A single body, with power to over
ride the Governors veto would be
singularly powerful. A body
of "a men, with 16 votes could
change the whole body of the Ter
ritorial government in Alaska in
one day!
"Such a legislture might run wild
in raising taxes, in making excess
sive appropriations, or in passing
revolutionary laws, without consult
ing the people, for there would be
no check on their unlimited pow
ers.
Good laws, after American forms
and principles will not lose virility
by brief delay and the protection
by reasonable blocks, bars. and bar
riers to their passage
1T is a bad time now-it will be
dangerous to the continued existence
of our full Territorial form of gov
eminent to allow unthinking men to
destroy it.

HENRY RODEN
FLAYS DOUBLE
HOUSE SYSTEM
Judge Wickersham Takes
Opposite Views on
Legislature

Before a large audience that
damned Union Hall last night at
the mass meeting of the Juneau La
Dor Party, Senator Henry Roden
took the speakers stand in a Bills
tering condemnation of the bicam-
eral legislature and offered the
proposition of a unicameral legisla-
ture as cure.
THE single house, composed of
"a or less members, would be more
responsive to the public" Roden
said.
Further" he continued, "it will
eliminate buck passing between
two houses. The House passes a
bill, perhaps unanimously, but the
Representatives will turn around
and beg the Senators in private to
defeat that legislation which the
House has just passed!
why is that done? Simply be-
cause a House full of Representa-
tives have their respective ears to
the ground for the next election.
and don't believe that this sore of
thing doesn't go on. 1t does, and
plenty of it, tool"
On the Spot
In the unicameral Legislature,
Roden continued. each member
knows his vote will count. He is on
the spot and must vote with the view
in mind that what he votes for or
against will show up in the final
analysis and cannot be covered by
alibi that his actions had been over
ruled by the Senate.
1T stands now, with the bicameral
system, that a single Senator in the
Senate, can defeat the entire repre-
sentation of a whole Division, four
Representatives and one Senator,
and can defeat even a unanimous
vote of the House.
Take for example should one
Senator be ill., That leaves seven
active. Reason further that the bill
in question requires a two-thirds
vote for passage. One man exer-
cises his right of privilege and re-
fuses to vote Then one dissenting
vote against the other five can de-
feat the whole thing. Is that rep
sentative governments"
Find 1t Pays
-Four out of six provinces in Can
ada now have one house Legisla.-
lures. They have found it pays.
mot only would the one house
Legislature cut down expenses, but
it would speed up legislation and
eliminate medicine balling. If bill
needs comma or semi-colon in
the Senate's eyes. it goes back to
the House for amendment, and the
whole procedure saws back and forth
while the poor man lobbyist finds
himself forced to return home before
ultimate consideration of the bill
for passage He can't see lengthy
fights through. A big corporation
lobbyist finds it easy.
"A single house a upicameral
Legislature Roden finished, lis Al
aska's answer to quest for respon-
sive legislative action"
Wickrsham Opposes
Judge James Wickersham, former

presented his appeal to the voting
public of the Territory. at the mass
meeting, urging them not to accept
the unicameral legislature, but to
preserve the bicameral system.

COLLEGE News
Holmes Junior College
Loses $45. 900

The loss of $4,000 from PWA funds
and thus no buildings to be added
to the college is of much greater
consequence than the loss OF football
or literary championship. On July
n. the Public Works Administration
allocated $4,000 to Holmes Junior
College. This grant was contingent
upon IS per cent Of the project funds.
or $4,000 being provided by the spon-
sor. The defeat of the bond issue
last week means that the gift Of
S45,0 goes back to the government
to be spent somewhere else and that
a chance of a lifetime to get needed
improvements for the college at such
small cost to the county is lost.
Every effort has been made in
recent years to bring Holmes Junior
College to high point among edu-
cational institutions. In attempting
10 do this we have not lost sight of
trying to serve girls and boys from
Holmes county Not one of ours
has been turned away because of
room nor have they been denied
the chance to work part of their
way If they needed to do so. How
ever, If every girl and boy of the
county were reached the Junior Col
lege would fall far short of being
the institution that any citizen should
desire both from the standpoint OF
enrolment as well as possibilities
The enrolment would immediately
fail to a mark Of 10 or is years ago
less than $50. The expense to tho
county would remain the same as II
is and the money spent by the school
and students in the county would
drop from $4,000, as of last year, to
not more than $4,000. Our owr
county girls and boys would not have
the interest they now have to at
tend the school. Through the out-cf-
| county students including the few
out of state boys and girls Holmes
County has been more broadly and
better advertised than through al
other combined means of advertising
in the county. Confine the work anG
activities to Holmes County girls ant
boys and it would starve to death If
a short while.
The school has not only reaches
the standing of being among the bes
in the State Association of Junio
Colleges but has attained prestig
through recognition within the Sou
thern Association.
The opposition stated in each ad
vertisement that nothing that wa
said or done should be construed a
an attack on the school. The ad
ministration CONSTITUTES the effort OF
the part of anyone that definitel.
blocks and prevents the growth an
progress to be an attack of grea
consequence. This condition wa
brought about whether this wa
prompted by selfishness, mar
rowness or ignorance of true feet
in the case the few opponents VIII
sponsored the move to defeat tn
issue will have to answer.

State Famers Are Now
Planting Austrian
Peas And veith
Cover Crops Should Now
Be Planted According
To Commissioner =

October in other areas may be that
attractive time when 'the frost is
on the pumpkin and the folders In
the SHOCK" but in Mississippi Octo-
Der has the dual meaning of harvest
time and time for planting vetch
and Austrian peas for bumper crop
Of cotton or corn next year.
Really remarkable progress has
been made in Mississippi in annually
increased paintings of winter legumes
for turning under during the early
spring months to fertihze succeed
ing crops. Within ten years the num-
Der of pounds Of seed planted has in
creased from approximately 100000
to more than Is million pounds dur
ing the current season.
This phenomenal increase in the
planting of winter legumes, studied
in conjunction with less substan-
tial increase in summer legumes, is
taken to indicate definite trend in
solving the problem of soil fertility.
Not so many years ago 1t was felt
that winter legumes were somewhat
uncertain because Of severe winters,
and summer legumes, such as soy
beans and cowpeas, were stressed.
The summer legumes however, were
often harvested for hay or grain and
much Of the soil enrichening facili-
ty was taken from the land. The
winter legumes are turned under in
time for another crop so that the
succeeding crops get all Of the fer
tility. Under this procedure farmers
in all portions of Mississippi who
plant and turn under winter legumes
have seen their crops increased by
80 per cent the first year and dou-
| bled within just a few years.
Still more recently there has come
| another development. Phosphate fer
tilizer and lime are applied at the
time of planting winter legumes, AMI
this practice has the double facility
of greatly increasing the nitrogen
bearing greet material to be turned
under during the spring and of sup
plying these essential minerals to the
growing crops to follow.
Experience thus far is conclusive =
stated J. c. Holton, Commissioner OF
Agriculture, that farmers no longer
have to move to another county OF
to another state to have rich land
By protecting their present lands
from erosion and by consistently
planting and turning under winter
legumes, bale-to-the-acre Land can
be developed in every county and or
almost every farm in Mississippi. DC.
tober is the time for planting vetct
and peas"
