UP DOUGLAS TRAIL

ows were crowded yesterday by
close to a hundred skiers who turn
ed out despite threats of rain to take
part in skiing over wet, hard packed
snow from early in the morning
until late afternoon.
Ernie Parsons, former President
of the Juneau Ski Club, spent Fri
day ana Saturday nights at the ski
cabin, and was joined on Saturday
night by Chuck Notar, Dallas Wey-
and, Fred AFFORD and Yves OVERLY.
Close TO 40 made the trip to the ca

ditions favorable.
Coffee was served at the newly

LOOKED LIKE A BARGAIN

The plan is for the government to
pay the difference between the cost
of ordinary low-speed tankerS and
the cost of high-speed tankers with
features necessary in event of war.
These extra features added about
100000 a ship to the cost making
the proposed new tankers cost So
10000. Thus, for an outlay of
$l0,560, 900 the Navy could establish
a war reserve of II tankers where
to regulation navy-style tankers cost
from $4,000 900 to $8,500,000 each.
Twelve would cost at least $72,000,-
600.
The plan sounded good to Chair
man Copeland of the Senate COM
mittee but three Republican men,
bers present refused to be COM
mitted. They were Senators Nc
Nary Of Orgon, Vandenberg of Mich
igan and Nye of North Dakota They
argued that it was not the commit
tees business to pass on such con-
tracts.
However, Navy and Maritime Of
ficials were convinced that they had
made case to the extent that they
went ahead with letting the contract

JUNEAU JUST
IN POCKET

For "a hours, o'clock Sunday
morning to o'clock this morning,
Juneau was in pocket" in other
words, this city was cut off from
the States through the air. The

sent no messages and received none

times had hard struggle to get"

Finally, something broke in the
air, and the Signal Corps con-
tacted Seattle and with all oper-
ators working on short wave, long
waves and plain waves, messages,
both commercial and press, began
looming through the air and al
though bum start, there has been
a whirlwind finish of back-dated
and present-dated communication
The reason = anybody who can
explain the intricacies of radio
and the air currents, will make a
fortune.
incidentally, no radio broadcasts
were received in this section.

MANY DUCKS, GEESE
WINTERING In THIS
AREA, OFFICIALS SAY

The Juneau area, particularly out
along the Glacier Highway, appar-
emily is becoming more and more
a favorite wintering place for ducks
and geese, according to game Of
ficials. They report great bands of
mallards and other ducks around
Lemon Creek and adjacent areas
these days, as well as a considerable
number of geese. The mild winter,
they feel, doubtless has something
10 do with the stay of migration
here.

the Maritime Commission when
Chairman Joseph p. Kennedy is
away, arranged to present the plan
directly to the Senate Commerce
Committee. Along with Land, who
is not now III the Navy, went Cap
tain r. E. Ingersoll of the Navy
War Plans Division.
This is the plan they outlined:
The Navy needs oil tankers
speedy enough to keep up with the
fleet. The ships also would need
certain military features necessary
to a Navy busy at sea.
In turn. Standard Oil Company
and perhaps some of the other oil
companies, could use some new
tankers. They do not need high
speed tankers nor expensive military
features.

Bonding the Territory

We express our unqualified op-
position to any proposal to bond
the Territory of Alaska, feeling
that inasmuch as the present ad-
ministration has already saddled
upon the nation an immense in
debtedneSs which the taxpayers
must pay, of which indebtedness
the proportionate share of this
Territory is more than twenty mil
lions of dollars, any further bur-
den, through bonding or otherwise,
is oppressive and unnecessary.
Mineral Leases
We condemn the recommendation
of the Secretary of the Interior
to the effect that mineral lands of
Alaska be withdrawn from entry
and disposal and placed under
leasing system similar to that
adopted with regard to coal and
oil lands in the Territory.
Taxation
We pledge our legislators to vote
for the repeal of the 3 percent
gross tax on gold and other prec-
lous minerals and to vote for the
enactment of q measure which
will place the burden of taxation
on profits derived from operation.
Hospitals
We advocate the establishment of
marine hopitals for the treatment
of maritime workers wherever nee
essary in the Territory, ana we
further advocate sufficient num-
Der Of hospitals in the Territory
for the treatment of tuberculosis
and other communicable diseases.
Liquor
We condemn the present liquor
situation in Alaska and propose
referendum on the liquor question
in the Territory to determine
whether the people who are vot-
ers in Alaska favor prohibition,
Territorial control and Territorial
liquor stores, or the present local
option laws.
WOrkmen's Compensation Law
We advocate a change in the
workmen's compensation law OF Al
aska whereby silicosis, or miners
consumption, be m ade COM
pensable injury.
Community Property
We advocate the passage of
workable community property law
WOmen's Home
We advocate the establishment of
a home for pioneer women.
Federal Appointments
We advocate the appointment of
bona fide Alaskans for all offices
throughout the Territory.
Schools
We pledge our legislators to sup
port and develop our public schools
for the benefit of Alaskan children
and we oppose the Capitalization
of authority over school districts,
and believe that the Commissioner
of Education should be elected by
the people.
Labor
We advocate the passage of a
law similar to that of the State
of Washington to prohibit the en-
ployment of non-residents in the
fisheries of Alaska.
Mine Inspection
We favor the establishment of
an adequate mine inspection serv-
ice throughout the Territory, and
the election by the people of the
officials of that service.
Labor Relations Act
We favor the enactment of
labor relations act in Alaska.

for the ships. Some committee mem
bers, while declining to be commit
ted publicly, said it would be hard
to make a fuss about getting 12|
tankers for use in war at a cost OF
SIC, 1850, 900 when otherwise the cost
might be $72,000.000.

The Procedure

But how TO get the facts before
the public? The answer might be
another demand by Mr. Roosevelt
for thoroughgoing investigation of
nonopolies by Congress, a demand
he voiced in a 1887 message to the
lawmakers.
Greatest asset to such an inves-
tigation would be an able prosecu-
tor, like pitiiess Ferdinand Pecora,
who gave Wall Street the blacklist
eye it ever got from the govern
nlent some years ago when he in
vestigated the stock market for a
senate investigating committee.
The procedure should be politi-
The Daily Alaska empire. [volume] (Juneau, Alaska) 1926-1964, 1938-01-17

cally safe. If the investigation
should fail to disclose the collu-
sion that jackson thinks there is
among powerful industrialists, no
harm would be done If regulation
should be indicated as a remedy,
the Democrats would have an issue
that might bring all their factions
together again into one big happy
family.

Autobiography
Strategy: What
Is Real Meaning
Continued from Page one)


A. Tucked away in the Depart
ment of Justice, the Ro0se-
welt administration has the
ablost trust busting lawyer
CT modern times i'm Robert ii.
Jackson, the jamestown, N.
Y, boy who made good in
the capital.
Jackson took on Andrew Mel
Ions lawyers and won a $780,
600 verdict for the government
in the Board of Tax Appeals.
He downed the giant Electric
Bend and Share Company in
open court and persuaded the
company to sign up under the
holding company act.)
The Method
The next question is, how doe
the administration propose to tam
big business?
Bold Bob Jackson has alread
fired the opening barrage in tn
form of monopoly suits or com
plants against the Aluminium Com
pany of America, several big mid
western oil companies, the two bi
telegraph companies and a grou
Of cement manufacturers.
The next move is the Presidents.
One of the cagiest White Hous
advisers has suggested that tn
President avoid a flat-footed de
mand for more laws to regulat
business. Such a declaration Voul,
show little sympathy for such bust
nesses as are harassed by bad times
and might indicate to some folk
that the President had made IL
his mind what should be done will
big business before he knows wha
its sins, if any, are.
This strategist thinks the frs
thing to do is to see that the publ
gets a barrage of evidence ON tn
practices Of big business. Thi
should give the public an educa
ticnal course in business method
to pave the way for legislation.
If regulating legislation SHOULD
prove advisable, the Legislation
would be bolstered by public opin
ion, and thus would be mnoculate'
against attack after it reached tn
statute books.
