Quota Provisions
Call for Ballots
to Decide Policy

The ballot which Americans have
long used to determine national poll
cies will be used by wheat farmers
May 81 to decide an important eco
nomic policy, Fred Wilson, chair
man of the Benton County AAA
Committee, points out. On May 81,
wheat farmers of Benton County will
join with wheat farmers throughout
the nation in deciding whether or
not to have marketing quotas.
Mr.. Wilson said that each wheat
community in the country will have
its polling place, and three local
wheat farmers will be in charge of
the referendum. They are respons-
ible for posting public notices of the
referendum and for seeing that each
eligible farmer has the opportunity
to cast his vote in secret.
When the voting is concluded, the
counting of the ballots will be public.
When the Benton County results
have been compiled, they will be sent
to the State AAA office. National
results will be compiled by the De-
partment of Agriculture in Wash
ingtton, D. G.
All farmers affected by the wheat
quota may cast a vote. Mr.. Wilson
urges each wheat farmer to find out
from his community or county COM
mitteeman whether he is eligible.
If two-thirds of the farmers voting
approve, the quota will become eff
fective. ~-. r. I
"The defense emergency makes
the referendum question all the
more important" Mr.. Wilson said.
while the preparedness program
calls for good-sized reserve, it also
needs some provision for handling
the large supply so that wheat prices
will not be depressed. This is done
under quotas by storing the sur
plus and dividing the available mar
ket equitably. Whether this is to
be done will be decided by the farm
ers voting in the referendum May

For Outsiders, Claim


 No Alaskan will be affected by the bill, Walker declared, saying it was designed to give easy and quick divorce to certain people who would establish residence in Ketchikan, let us say, travel over the Territory and after one year come up before a Court for a divorce" ...... ...-.. ...... ..... ...... ..-.. Walker said the measure mere ly breaks the trail for someone else to years from now to lower the divorce residence require ment to six months or three months.
 T sse no reason for making a divorce mill of Alaska" Walker declared.
 The Senator said that when a man and wife can't get along to- gether in Alaska for a year or two years there is something fundamentally wrong with both parsons" and that they should be dealt with as mental cases.

Beckman stated in his complaint that for 10 years of their married life Mrs. Beckman insisted on her pet monkey sleep Ing with them. Mrs. Beckman, a one-tlme circus performer, said the monkey slept with them only on cold nights. Judge Davis commented it wouldn't have been much trouble for Davis to kick the monkey out of bed if he ob- Jected to sleeping with it.
 At the same time Judge Davis granted Mrs. Beckman a divorce on her cross-complaint and ali mony of $50 a month.

Rising Capitals Of The North

Consider the future of the flu ture of the towns of the North land dscreed by destiny to be the pivotal points and hubs in the great awakening of the re- zion.
 Not one but several centers long slumbering are suddenly quickened. Under the impetus of the elaborate defense, aviation and highway programs - to say nothing of contemplated develop ment plans-these cent-rs lying in the path of progress are cer- tain to rise to eminence.
 As the panomara unfolds, there is brought to view, not only to the people of the Northland, but also to the nations, these certain points sure to be vested with glamor and held permanently in the public eye.
 Geographical location has fixed them as points of lasting start gic and economic importance.
 Conspicuous in the galaxy of . new stars stands Fairbanks, heart of Alaska, the major inter for defense base and hub of in terior, transcontiental and inter hemisphere airlines.
 On the Alaskan coast line stands Anchorage, main military base of the Territory, with it's big army air base ard numerous commercial air lines and close contact with naval fleets and bas- eS.
 WhitehorSe, on the Canadian side of the line, long a mere stop over point for interior traffic. sud denly leaps into prominence as the Northland terminus of new Canadian defense and commercial lines and serving American air lines that will come that way.
 Nome, to the westward, will feel the n.,w impetus and take on n5w life and activity. And so with numerous other points in Alaska and across the Canadian domain, to the southward, on the new routes of air travel
 Naval and other projects also are bringing vast new activities and prominence to Sitka Kodiak, Dutch Harbor, Juneau and other s-aboard points,
 The traffic will flow into al these points by sea and land and otherwise incidental to the new buildings programs, and later for maintenance will be enormous.
 The whole presents a stirring picture. The busting activities of the construction days doubt less will be followed by a stream of steady traffic and a new era cities rising to stature undream ed of by the early trail blazers sleepy outposts of yesteryear de creed by the hand of destiny to become brilliant stars on the hori zon of the new day dawning in the North. = Fairbanks News Min-r

The Washington
 Day')ook
By Jack Sdnnett

WASHINGTON - A lot less frivolous in the matter of smash ing precedents is what Senator Tom Connally smilingly describ ed as West Virginia's apparent ecort "to make two senators grow where only one gr W be- fore"
 West Virginia is almost notor- ieus in tha, matter of providing contests for Senate seats. but the boys thought up a brand new one this time.
 Here's how it happened: Senat or Matthew M. Nicely was elected Governor of West Virginia, He was to take office at noon, Janu- ary 13. Outgoing Governor Hom CT Holt was to relinquish office Whzn Governor Nicely took over, Governor Nicely pulled a polit- ieal fast one. He took the oath of office at midnight January l2 and a second later appointed Joseph Roster, former president of the National Education Association, to Succ ed him as senator. Not 10 be outdone, Governor Holt, who already had appointed Clar- ence E. Martin, former president of the American Bar Association to succeed Neely-not once, but in two proclamations -issu.d a third, dated 70 moment after l2, midnight, January 13.p
 IT'S NO. 6
 Five times before in its history as a state, West Virginia has matched up contests for seats, but Senator Conna.ly's commit tee on privileges and elections ad mits that the sixth is the all-time nogin itcher. It's up 10 the com mittee to make a recommenda- ton and then it's up to the Sen ate to seat whom it pleases. But what problem.
 What gets me is that although Governor Nelly and ex-Governor Holt are reportediy mad as hops at each other their appointees, who undoubtedly are going to be most personally affected by the outcom1 of the contest, are af- feetionate cronies and to all out ward appearances are having the lime of their lives.
 They sit together on one of the diVanS at the back of the Ssn- ate chamber. They swap jokes and laugh over each no quip their situation gives rise to. No friend approaches one, but that he IS introduc d to the other. You would think they were that old team of Damon and Pythias.
 Whoever heard of such screWy contest!

 During the 1889 session, Coch- ran was an outspoki-n foe of Sen ator Walkers bill to legalize the sale of hard liquor by the drink.
 Senator Cochran said drunken ness and non-support, which he said was often the result of drunkenness on the part of the husband, w-re the principal caus es of divorce in Alaska.
 NOn-SuppOrt
 Walker retored that if a Wo man can't get along for two years without food as the result of her husbands expenditures for drink she can't get along for year, or a month or eW.n a week eith- CT. He said that Cochran, if he wished to carry his argument to a logical conclusion would cut the residence requirement to 3 weeks.
 Senator Don Carlos BroWnell said that sinc-i the grounds for divorce for such reasons as non- require only year there is no reason to make the resi- dence requirement two years.
 Walker, during his single-hand ed attack upon the measure, de 
 q will not concede any morals 1 have are for sale for any bill such as this"
 LaBoyteaux had nothing to say during the debate, but voted ag- ainst the m-sorial and against the rules for it's pas sage.

Fight Flares In Senate On Divorce Bill

In heated debate reminiscent of the cocktail bill fight of two years ago, Senator N. R. Walker of Ketchikan and O. D. Cochran or Nome tanglsd acrimoniously in the Senate over a measure to reduce the Alaska residence re- quirment for divorce from two years to one.
 The divorce legislation, a mem orial by Rep. Frank Gordon ot Fairbanks asking Congress to amend the Organic Act to allow divorce after one years residence finally passed, six to two, but not until Walker had denounced 1t as having no merits whatever and being a purely mercenary measure which will give us pop ulation of a type of people mo- body desires.
 Senator C. H. LaBoyteaux of Liv.ngood voted with Walker against the memorial. It had al ready passed the House, l3 to three.

Stamping Grounds"

Proponents of the measure were accused by Senator Walker of having no idea in mind of i'm proving conditions in Alaska but instead an intention to make the Territory stamping ground for people from Outside with great deal of money and great deal of time to spend"
 Cochran replied that 40 States allowed divorce in a year and some of them in even less time. He denied that Alaska under the measure would become a divorce mecca and asked what States people would come to spand a year in the North to get a div orce.

AmericanLeague An-StarS Choice
 For Tomorrow
Williams, Heath and Di- Maggie in OutfieId; Na-
 tiOnaIs Won 40 in 40

Detroit, July 7.-(UP-Baseball's ninth annual al-star classic drew 50 of the games highest paid players to Detroit today.
 They came by train and plane to find the power-laden American League, beaten thrice in inter-league competition last year, installed the favorite to outclass National League performers led by Manager Bill Mo- Kechnie of Cincinnati.
 No matter who wins, the khaki clad soldiers in the nations train ing camps can't lose. They'll get the games net receipts-close to $70 GOO. A crowd of about 0OO-third larg- est in all-star history-Should pass through the turnstiles of Briggs Sta dium.
 The weatherman forecast partly cloudy skies but no rain for tomor- row. He said temperatures would reach the mid 80s-ideal baseball weather. The game is scheduled at 2:30 p. m. (EDT) tomorrow.
 American League hopes of recap turing prestige lost last year ride on the shoulders of sluggers like Joe DiMaggio and Bill Dickey of New York, Boston's Ted Williams and Cleveland's Jeff Heath and the strong pitching arms of Bob Teller, Thornton Lee, Charley Ruff1ng, Al Benton and others.
 Four right-handers, Lon Warneke, St. Louis (9-4), Claude Passeau, Chicago (8-8), Paul Derringer, Cin- cinnati (7-10), and Cy Blanton, Phil adelphia (5-5), round out the Na- tional mound staff.
 Subs Named
 President William Harridge made two SubStitutions in the American League squad on the eve of the all- star game. He named veteran right handler Red Leonard of Washington (6-0 and Boston's young southpaw, Mickey Harris (3-D to replace pitch CT Marius Russo (7-5), New York, and shortstop Luke Appling, Chica- go, both of whom reported injuries. Appling's withdrawal leaves the post in the hands of Manager Joe Cronin, Boston; Lou Boudreau, Cleveland, and Cecil Travis, Washington, who also plays third base.
 The National Leaguers must spot their rivals 15 to 20 percentage points in team batting power. An American League outf1eld of Williams, Heath and Joe DiMaggio boasts a combined batting average of .375-45 points better than the strongest National League trio-Enos Slaughter and Terry Moore, St. Louis, and Pete Reiser, Brooklyn. McKechnie has seven batters hitting 300 or better Manager Del Baker of the American League has 10.
 American League players have wor five of the eight previous all-stal games, but they were shut out, 40 last year.
