CHARLES MURRAY TO CONFER HERE
 ON GOLD TAXES
Views of Alaska Mining Association dt Fairbanks
 fo Be Presented Soon

FAIRBANKS, Feb. 1.-The AL aska Mining Association at spec ial meeting, considered the pro- posed increase in gold taxes in the Territory and appointed Charles Murray, veteran miner and mana ger of the Boundary Gold Dredg- ing Company of the Forty Mile area, to go to Juneau to present views of the association and the gold mining industry in the In- terior of Alaska. Murray expects to fly there within a few days.
 At the meeting a committee was also appointed to prepare data showing how prospecting was de- veloping the the costs and funds required to set up normal opera tions and to illustrate narrow mar gin profits that most operators in the region, especially those work ing in the marginal or sub mar ginal areas who risk hazards and at times suffer heavy losses, fore ing abandonment of their projects.
 Other branches of the organiza- tion are taking similar moves throughout the Interior.
The Daily Alaska empire., 1939-02-01

three top-ranking departments, State. Treasury and War, were cre- ated virtually in a breath early in the nations history. The Secretary of State, concerned with foreign af- fairs, as in most governments, out ranks the others, so he sits on the Presidents right at the long table, which seems almost to fill the 40- foot room. On the Presidents left sits Secretary of the Treasury Mor- genthaug, next in rank, while second in line on the right side sits Secre- tary of War Woodring.
 Thus they are ranged down the table, alternating left and right positions, with Hopkins last on the right side and Secretary of Labor Perkins (she is the only one who wears a hat at cabinet meetings) on the extreme lower left corner.
 The President, who really has no legal position in the cabi- net, but in this administration has been potent member none-the- less, usually occupies a chair at the foot of the table, in front of a fire place.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1. - Over looking sunny little slope that re- mains green with grass the year around is an oblong room which at once is the most important and least used of any major room in the Gov ernment establishment It is the cabinet room.
 Two new members now occupy places there, Frank Murphy of Michigan as Attorney General and Harry Hopkins of New York as Secretary of Commerce. By virtue of their rank in the Cabinet, Mur- phy occupies a seat near the head of the Presidents table, while Hop kins is at the foot If they were seat ed according to the weight of their influence upon the President prob ably Hopkins would outrank the whole cabinet and sit beside the President, but cabinet chairs are not arranged that way.
 The room is in the executive
