The review given The Empire by Mayor Judson of the work done in community improvements dur- ing the current Councilmanic year carries convincing proof that the City Council has been building not only for the present but looking intelligently forward to the future needs of the city. The list of per- manent improvemnts submitted is impressive. Con- sidering the vast amount of work done, the cost was very reasonable, and its distribution wisely made. Municipal government cannot be successfully con- ducted haphazardly. There must be careful plan- ning by skilled officers and work definitely pro- grammed if the needs of the city are to be filled. Lacking such a program, there is sure to be waste- ful expenditures and & lack of the various facilities which every community must possess if it is to be a habitable home town Mayor Judson and the Council of which he is head has given Juneau such an administration. It has reason to take a pride in its numerous better- ments and the town itself can similarly be proud of its possession of them. The facts set forth by Mr. Judson's review as it appeared in The Empire and the figures contained in the published financial statement for the first eleven months of the City's fiscal year furnish incontrovertible proof of the effi- ciency of the present municipal administration. WELCOME TO PATHFI DER PLANE. Juneau welcomes with genuine Alaskan warmth the pathfinder plane of the International Airways and congratulates President McCarthy and his asso- clates and passengers on being the first to negotiate the air passage from Seattle to this city. Traversing as the plane did a new and to some extent unknown route, its accomplishment is a source of gratifica- tion to everyone interested in the establishment and successful operation of air transport between Ju- neau and the States. No time marks were aimed at on this first voyage. In the nature of an exploratory trip rather than __{of the venture.

Having been the first to be on the ground, to study and observe local conditions, President McCarthy and his husiness associates are in position to take advantage of the opportunities that may be found to exist. The United States is taking to the air rapidly. Planes are operating successfully in and to the very great advantage of interior and northern Alaska. Mails have been expedited, passengers carried safely and economically, all things considered, over dis- tances heretofore formidable under other modes of travel.

(New York World.) 1t is high time for the Republican leaders in Washington to stop long enough in a mad scramble for increased taiff duties to see where their plans are taking us. The present tariff agitation is not only counteracting any positive effects that may have been achieved by Mr. Hoover's good-will tour among our neighbors to the south; it is plainly having equally undesirable effects on the good-will of our neighbor in the north. If the tariff spokes- men have their way there will be a virtual embargo on Canada’s exports of foodstuffs and raw materials to the United States. This possibility has already measures Canada is now our best customer. Her recent purchase of our products have placed her ahead of Great Britain in this respect. But these purchases will not hold up if the high-tariff advocates get what they are after. Canadian imports amount to only a drop in the bucket when compared with our total domestic consumption, but to their producers the loss of this market will mean disaster. It will not be necessary for these producers to organize a boycott against American goods. With our tariff rates sufficiently high they will have to refrain involuntarily from buying. Canada is described as seething with resentment at the prospect of a higher American tariff, and is threatening a boycott on American goods. It will be a long time before Americans boycott genuine Canada goods.—(Boston Globe.) Commenting on the prevalence of gambling among English women, a magazine article says: “There is not a friendly game of bridge in England.” Why pick on England, particularly?—(Detroit Free Press.) Senator Heflin called the reporters squirrels the other day. You can't reproach a man for being a little squirrely with so many ripe nuts around. —(Olympia Olympian.)

Sure—but try and find a woman who is. Meow! “Should T put on more powder, paint and rouge?” I heard the homely sister ask: “You would look better, dearie, purred the Cat, If you instead, put on a mask.” And Smith’s First Name Was Al “Tell us something about Poca- hontas,” said the teacher. “It makes less soot than the soft stuff and only costs a few dollars more a ton,” replied the coal deal- er's son, who knew his coal if he didn't know his history.

More or Less True Another thing many a groom dis- covers after the honeymoon is that his wife thinks his mother was goofy for believing he wasn't able to get his own breakfast. A scientist says the girls on Mars have six legs, and some of our own cornfeds look as if they had at least three squeezed into each stocking. Maybe spanking wouldn't have done any good, but you meet a lot of kids who make you think their parents ought at least have given it a fair trial before letting them pests. The way some gi try to pull down their skirts it hard to tell whether they are trying to cover up their knees or let you see the color of their step-ins. The reason they have ladies’ aids in churches is because a preacher has to have coin to buy groceries and it takes wives to pry husbands loose from their coin for religious work. The more we see of the weird way half-grown hair is being fixed the more convinced we are girls want you to admire their hosiery and what’s in it. Mother can’t do anything about daughter going out without a chap- eron, but either she goes along or father doesn’t go if she thinks it is a place where he’ll be safer if he is being watched. —————-— LET Ammquist Press Your Suit.
