Sunny Jim Beats Goering
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Sunny Jim" Farley is still the best political prophet of modern times He out-guess even Field Marshal Hermann Goering of Germany who pre- dicted 100 percent vote for Austro- German union and didn't get it. Naziism's rotund No. man has to be satisfied with 9975 percent yes vote in Austria and only 9908 percent count for the whole Of Ger many. Farley 46-to-2 electoral college prognosis stll stands the perfect record in ballot box cairvoyance
 The Democratic national chairmans achievement becomes positively astounding when it is remembered what votegetting means Hitler, Goering and the Nazis had at their disposal. First of all were der fuehrers tear jerking orations about his homeland and the Austrian boy who made good Propaganda Minister Goebbes kept up verbal stream since early in March that far outdid anything ever heard in democratic country where politicians are prone to exaggerate and promise the moon. In addition Aus trans have seen the unnviting consequences of opposing their rescuers. The inducements to vote for national extinction overcame any desire to vote "nein' and the risks involved
 With such methods Farley could have included even Maine and Vermont in his prediction. But the few thousands who did dare the Brown Shirt dis pleasure including the 66 Ustriap soldiers who said nc" are worthy to join the immortal company of Ethan Aliens Green Mountain boys. Weren't they from Vermont?
 Plebisctes in dctatorial states would be humor they not demonstrations of the tragedy of a people. They sacrlegious jokes the ballot box. They give the dictator excuse for marching ahead to new conquests. Central Europe particu- larly Gee hoslovaka will feel the repercussons from the German vote. This synthetic support encourages the regime to stage such farces treason trial for ex-Chancellor Schuschnigg to be held in the fall and to issue warrant for treason against Archduke Otto of Hapsburg who sought the Austrian throne. These byproducts of goose-step plebscites affect history than the pebiscites themselves.

Of the Making of Laws
(NeW York TimeS)

(New York TmeS)
 A statistcian attached to the Council of State Governments has been at work the output ot American State Legislatures during 1937 He finds that TAGS State Senators and Representatives passed 17,194 laws average of about two and one half laws apiece. They tried unsuccessfuly to pass 37000 other hills average of about five apiece. They paid total salary of $4660000 so that each law passed with the bills that failed thrown in for nothing. The average State Legislature enacted about one-thrd of all the bills introduced. New York more conservative It enacted only about one fifth of the bills introduced
 The gods may laugh at this spectacle of egsla- ton run wild and so may mortas. Yet we must be reasonable. The laws did not create 17,194 crimes. Many of them were necessary to enable administrative agencies to keep up with our hard-rding civilization, Many trivial Many, after being tried out will either be repealed quietly forgotten Few will be eficacously enforced unless there is public opinion behind them Quite number of sumptuary laws passed during the prohibition era Were they enforced? And what became of them?
 Our legislators reflect fokways. They pass laws that some of us ask for and that they fondy hope most of if we hear about them will accept. They can't order about. They can't bully us. They can't go counter to the Constitution and the Bill Of Rghts-not for long On the whole, our multitude of laws does heavily on shoulders Certainly they beat the mandates of dictatorS, which are also numerous, all hollow.

LET'S GIVE JUNEAU A NEW DRESS

Even the weather gives indication of being favor able to the annual Cleanup campaign which opens Monday and with it's cooperation the unsighty stains of winter should have disappeared by the end of next week if all residents of the community will make it an individual point to share in the laudabe city enterprise
 Mayor Harry I Lucas announces that trucks will be available to haul away the debris the custom of years There is no charge for this service. The principal outlay to cooperate in this campaign is individual effort Either take little exercise on the rake and yard tools yourself hire of the men around town who need the work to clean up your yard and premises for you IS the suggestion of the Cleanup Committee and excellent suggestion 1t ls
 Spring is here. Let's give her a new dress in Juneau that she will show to the best advantage Let's check over sanitary conditions about our places such as water and sewer connections, and, while we're about it. it might be good idea to check on the wiring and other fire hazards which may exist around the house This coming week is the time to do those dozens of odd job tasks which have been putting off during the winter.
 No likes to live in dirty, dingy city, or where fire hazards exist Juneau will not be in that class if everyone will join whoeheartedy in the Cleanup campaign and fix up his own premises

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE ON TUESDAY

Following the adjournment of each Territorial Legislature there is invariably great deal of com plaint about what the Legislators did It is almost tradition among of the critics to cry this was worse than the last one which without exception, Is unfounded in fact, And too often among the rail birds who raise this howl and cry will be found a great many who failed to do their part in selecting the lawmakers Most of them probably went to the polls in the general election but in the first instance at the primary when the nominations made they were significantly absent. Primary returns all ways show an apathy the part of the voters many of those same voters who shout that there isn't any body worth voting for when it general election time.
 Next Tuesday Alaska voters again are called upon to go to the polls and select nominees the Demo- cratic and Republican tickets the candidates who will compete for victory at the general election on Sep tember l3 All the competition in the primary centers about the Legislature. There contests for Delegate to Congress or for Territorial Treasurer but there are contests for the House both tickets and a for the Senate on the Democratic ticket.
 Are you MT. Voter, going to stay away from the polls next Tuesday then in September say there is no one the general election ballot who you slider worth voting for?
 Some of the older voters will recall the old sys- tenn selecting party nominees when had to have loud voice be closely affiliated with the party ganizationt to be heard. That system was abandoned because of it's abuses the that the rank and file C votes had little choice in who the party necs would be But today have the primary-the guarantee that every person the age of 21 able to read and write and with at least years resi- dence in the Territory immediately prior to election day have voice in who shall represent the party
 In many places in the States such lack of inter est has been shown in primary elections as to encour- age thought toward returning to the convention sys tenn of selecting party nominees
 Don't be a vulnerable rail bird next September crying that there is the ticket worth voting for, again next January when the Legislature declaring it the worst yet Go to your voting place Tuesday, call for Democratic Republican bal lot and make your selection of the men or women who you believe to be worthy of representing your party in the forthcoming campaign and in the next Legislature if the majority of the voters decide next September l3
 For the convenience of voters here is the list of candidates the respective tickets where contests occur

with the thrill of a new car that could be used on their honeymoon. But now a strange chill settled about her, again that tingling sem sation of an unknown fear, A new car, his old one laid up. What was 1t Tom had said: the car involved in that Saturday crash would have any one of a dozen telltale signs of the crash.
 Larry's voice was terse and calm as he spoke. Well, how were things today? Busy suppose. Many drunk drivers?"
 Somehow she managed to an- swer coherently. Larry continued with small talk. Get the ticket fixed for the kids?"
 "Yes, 1t wasn't difficult. One of the sergeants helped me"
 Guess the boys on the know can fix just about anything, can't theyP I've heard they can change a negligent homicide to leaving the scene of an accident if they work 1t right, The first carries a stiff penalty, doesn't it?"
 Her voice was empty. "Yes- we had one @ month ago. The man failed to report a crash in which another man was killed. The maximum is five years, I think"
 More fixing goes on than the public knows about. You can bet on that" he said. "These judges and prosecutors can be influenced by the right powers.
 I'm not so sure," she said slow ly. "I've met men who couldn't be bought, and couldn't be pulled off by big shots, either"
 You're still an innocent child at heart, darling" he said. Those same boys could probably be swung around just by a pretty pair of eyes like yours"

T know how you feel. We see a slice of life here every day. There's a suspense, a tenseness in the drama of a court. We're sort of behind the scenes and 1t gets you eventually"
 Drama yes, that's It." she re- peated. For instance that hor- rible accident Saturday. What will happen to the driver if he's caughtp"
 "When he's caught, you mean" Tom corrected with a tightening of his jaw "Oh, he'll slip up be- fore long. The police will get @ break and they'll find him. say him although 1t may be @ woman. Still when the driver is caught he'll have tough time explain ing because the story has been so widely publicized, No person who can read can have remained igno- rant of the woman's death, the place where the accident occurred, the time, and the fact that a witt ness said 1t was blue coupe. A crash that would kill @ human be- ing would be severe enough to damage a car; twist headlight, bend a bumper, scrape a fender oh, do any one of a dozen things that tell the story. Furthermore driver would have felt the im- pact, would have had to fight the wheel of a ear to keep 1t from swerving after such 0 crash.
 "When he's brought in he won't have to answer just the ordinary questions put to driver unfor- tunate enough to be involved in @ death crash. He'll have to ex- plain why he ignored the com mon rules of decency and left the scene instead of offering aid. Un- less this driver has 0 miraculous alibi he'll have a tough time. The papers are working up to . cli- max. The court will have to go to town on the case. We'll be forced to. The defense lawyer in this case will have @ tough assign ment to get his client of even with e jury trial"
 Tom lighted 0 cigaret and leaned back with q smile. After all we're getting serious and we decided not to talk business. We were going to relax. You know I like having you there in court. When I look at you I get back my perspective. It's easy to get muddled and take things too seriously with all these legal angles swirling in ones head most of the day. You're not only a good court stenographer, but for me you're pretty good balance wheel"
 Back at work she remembered that when their eyes met over the judges desk she felt secret bond between them.
 Larry phoned shortly before 1t was time to leave for the day. "I'll pick you up around Ave-" he said. Meet you out front"
 She stood outside the big lime stone building in the warmth of the late afternoon sun, watching the home-going crowd swirl out from offices and shops. Larry's voice interrupted her thoughts. She stared at the cars drawn up to the curb and not until his second greeting did she recognize him seated in a shiny new, sedan.
 "A new car" she said in a starled voice. Why, Larry, you didn't tell me"
 "Its one from the salesroom," he explained pulling the car away and swinging out into the line of traffic. Had to have my battery fixed. Thought I'd use this for :. a while. Might even buy it. Runs we'll"
 Ordinarily that would have sent her bubbling over with eagerness,
