 Fight Against Jap Invasion Pointing to the battle to get ac-
 ton to prevent invasion of the Bristol Bay fishing banks by Japa- nese fishermen, the Delegate said
 that "The Bureau of Fisheries first told us there were no Japanese fishermen there, and then that they
 were not hurting the fishing in- dustry, but we proved otherwise and I presented bill in Congress, which
 I still believe is a good bill as do great many others, to permanent ly keep them out. However, the State Department, in view of the unsettled international situation
 urged an agreement with Japan and that has been reached, saving the Alaska fishing industry
 Speaking personally and not for the Democratic party, because, he said, it isn't a party issue" MT. Dimond urged favorable vote next Tuesday on the unicameral, or one
 house legislature proposal He de-
 clared a one-house system would
 better place responsibility on Leg
 islators and would be safer and better" for the people of Alaska. There is too much buck passing" with two houses, he asserted, ex- blaming that he had knowledge of
 Legislators voting for bill in one
 house and then rushing over to the
 other to try and get it defeated and vice versa.

 Army Air Base Assured
 The Army air base is now as sured for the Territory, the Dele gate said, pointing out that he had the authorization of the Army Chief of Staff to quote him to that effect. And as this base is constructed, the naval program will go on, he pointed out.
 "A small base already has been established at Sitka," he said. "It will be enlarged and one construct ed at Kodiak, and yet another big naval base will come to the north. "

Wage and Hour Bill

Touching briefly on the wage and hour law, Delegate Dimond labeled it a sensible plan to shorten hours and raise wages within reason. He declared no one need be embar- raSsed by the act and that it would make little material differences to industry generally in Alaska
 We have collective bargaining, one of the glories of the Adminis- tration," he said, and surely we want to go forward with reason able working hours and decent wages. The opposition wants to go back. But what do they want to go back to, failing banks? Remem- Der the New Deal means improve ment of conditions for mankind. D
 Representative James V. Davis preceded the Delegate. speaking in behalf of his candidacy for re- election.

 tude of the present administration has resulted in a program of hos pitalization for the natives which already is under way. One hospital has been built at Point Barrow, an other is being built at Bethel and a third is to go up at Kanakanak. Twelve such in tu ions are planned, one a year until they are completed. This sort of hospitaliza- ton, he explained, will ultimately eradicate tuberculosis now so preva- lent among. the native people.
 Better Facilities
 Better school and educational fa- cilitiN are being provided for the Indians and Eskimos, he pointed out, and under the Social Security Act old age pensions are being granted the natives, 381 now receiv- ing benefits. The native people, too, will benefit under the unemploy- ment provisions of the Act, he brought out.
 Lauding the Territorial Legisla- ture for the vision to take advan- tage of the Social Security legisla- tion by applying some of its pro- visions to the Territory, the Dele gate declared that the payments eventually should be increased.
 They need to be greatly increased just as soon as we are financially able to do it." he said.
 Reiterating his firm stand against fish traps, MT Dimond declared he was still standing squarely on the Democratic platform of 1886 which advocated the abolition of traps.
 All Traps Must Go
 "All traps should be done away with" he asserted, "because they lead to monopoly and are in my opinion special privilege. They are all wrong and eventually all traps must go. It is in keeping with the policy of the American principle of a square deal.'
 The Delegate said the fishermen must be protected against the trap and given a right to earn a liveli- hood. Because of what he termed discrimination" by the Bureau of Fisheries in favor of traps this sea- son. there will be more need for re-

EHender Hates Coffee

STATESMEN have their little whims. Senator
Allen J. Ellender feels quite i'll when he smells
coffee cooking. And he's from Terrebone Parish
louisiana, where the natives live and work and
die on coffee and crawfish Mostly coffee
The Senator says his hatred of coffee began
years ago when he was a boy of g. His father
made him get up every morning at o'clock,
build fire in the stove and make him pot of
coffee. Young Allen hated crawling out of bed
into the cold with the wind whistling through
the chinks in the floorboards. ct can feel colder
in the Tropics than in the Arctic Circle.)
Now years later, one Whit of the fragrance
that stimulates and delights other people brings
back to the gentleman from Louisiana his boy
hood chores. So he loathes coffee.

"the world stood still" about 2
o'clock last night as she prepared
to close the cleaning and dyeing
shop she manages in the 1900
block of Seventeenth st. N. w.
1t stood still long enough for
a neatly-dressed white youth to
usher her into a rear room under
threat of a bludgeon, and scoop
$45 from the cash register and
escape. Recalling her experience
today, Mrs. Houlon said:
Usually there is plenty Of
traffic about the store at that
time, but last night it seemed
as though everyone was in
league with this fellow"
Employees of a laundry next
door told police the thug first
entered their place of business
but apparently decided there were
too many customers present.

Indirect Taxes Burden Lou Incomes
DTTTSBURGH asks: How could pay any in
come tax when have hardly enough to live
on? If the Government would stop wasting tax
money, wouldn't recovery come soon?"
The idea of broadening the base of income
taxation is to collect very small payments from
small incomes, such as per cent, or $40, from
$1,000 income; V of per cent, or 49, from an
$500 income, and nothing from incomes under
$500. It also includes reducing indirect taxes
which burden low incomes without people know
ing it.
One of the chief points in favor of the idea
is that we would all know what taxes we pay,
and that we would then insist on economy in gov
eminent. This would reduce government bu-
reaucracy, waste and votebuying, which would
help recovery.

Where Gold Gets Its Value

- of the value of gold come from legislating
it into being money? Isn't that fiat?"
No. A large part of the demand for gold is
the monetary demand; but that comes from the
voluntary recognition by individuals of the adj
vantages of gold as monetary standard. Then,
in connection with the demand, the cost of pro-
ducing gold and the limited quantity insure
high and stable value. This is not fiat value any
more than the values of copper, nickel or wool
are fiat.
According to your theory, we could legislate
value into pebbles by making them money"
Do you think that would work?

Dear Washington
By Helen Essary

CENAToR AsHURsT likewise has an lido.
~ syncrasy or two. He always carries 50 bill
in his wallet.
To most people 50 bill is bad luck, especially
at the races where it is usually lost on the first
bet But to the gentleman from Arizona a 50 bill
recalls big day in his young life.
Mr.. Ashurst was working 30 years or so ago on
a cattle farm for something less than minimum
wage. Said his boss one winter day, II don't
believe the railroad people are weighing my cattle
right. You get on the train and go over to the
loading depot and watch the scales Here's 81
for the fare It's $40 each way ThatU give you
20 cents for little treat"
Young Henry saw chance to make a little
pocket money to put in his blue jeans Money
was scarce in the Ashurst family of 10 children
seven sons and three daughters. So he got
horse and rode him the is miles over and is
miles back through snow that sometimes came
UP to the horses knees.
He spent 81 for room and board, bought his
mother a present for 81.
And brought home 50 bill as a lucky piece
When that bill wore out young Ashurst traded it
in for fresh one He's kept trading as the old
bills have grown shabby. But he's never been
without his lucky piece since.
Random Notes
DURING the depression under President Van
~ Buren, he was so unpopular because Of his
extravagances inherited bills from the popular
Andrew Jackson) that Washington almost
roted when he hired man to dig the dandelions
out Of the White House lawn.
Why is it that garlic in the garden has the
tenacity of garlic on the breath?
What did women wear about their necks before
the style of two dead foxes across the shoulders
came into vogue?
Why is it that no matter how many stockings
you buy in the same shade one two or three pairs,
there is always left over one lonely hose divorced
from its running mates? And never by any chance
is it the same shade as any one Of the dozen
other abandoned ones in your dresser drawer2
Why is it that the foolish behavior of Florida
and California inspires you to a lightheartedness
and the insanity of Washington gets you down?
The town is as gloomy as the morgue. There are
no funny stories and even the few scandals aren't
amusing.
