The financial statement and accompanying report | made to the Chamber of Commerce by Secretary | G. H. Walmsley covering the past year's activities of that organization are highly pleasing documents. | They constitute a line record of progress and con-| structive service that the Chamber rendered pri- marily to this community and, also, to all of the Territory. It is particularly gratifying to note ihat, despite the unusually large number of endeavors it engaged in during the year, it carried over a sub- stantial cash balance as a nucleus for next years| work. A large part of the credit is due to the Execu- tive Committee and its officcrs for this showing.| Expenditure of funds, under the Chamber’s consti- | tution, rests mainly in their hands. Their veport | is ample evidence that none of the funds entrusted | to them was wasted or misapplied. To enumerate here ain the projects engaging the attention of the Chu: ler last year is not neces- | sary. They were listed in detail by Secretar: Walmsley's fine report, appearing in The Empire | last Thursday. They covered every phase of com- | munity activity nd denoted the high plane on which the Chaibir's Tonstructive work for com- munity and territorial advancement is carried on,i The vote of thanks which the Chamber so heartily | gave to the directors and officers was as timely | as it was justified. They are entitled ‘o the thanks of the entire city. The membership last year vas of any similar organization in Walmsley pointed out, th of members in the Chamb be even larger. The town: population, and its varied interests, would be beiter served and the membership of the organization more representa- tive if it could enroll 350 members.

L] No project in recent years has received so wide support on t Pac Coast as that accorded the Yukon-Pacific project, by means of which | it is proposed to opcn northern British Columbia, Yukon Territory and Aluska to the motoring public of Canada and the Uniled States. Prominent lead- ers in finance and business, automobile associa- tions, city, county and State good roads organi- zations and officials of various kinds were quick to endorse it. The latest endorsement, that of the Western Division of the United States Chamber of Commerce at its Portland convention, is one of the most important it has so far received. ~Membership in this organization is widespread and embraces all of the leading commercial associations in the West. It is one of the most influential of its kind in the | country, and through it can be reached the national Chamber to which the resolution of endorsement will be submitted at its next meeting. Undoubtedly the impetus which has already been imparted to| the movement will be augmented by the added | power of the Western Division’s support. fe THE ALASKA JUNEAU'S PROGRESS. While the initiation of dividend payments on its common stock by the Alaska Juneau Gold Min- | ing Company has been foreshadowed for several| years by the results of its mining operations here,| 14 js a winding road and the recent action of the Board of Directors in fixing the rate, therefore, was not unforeseen, the action itself was one of the finest bits of news from a local viewpoint tha s heen given out here in a long time. In his wnnual report to the stock- holders, as of December 29, 1929, Mr. F. W. Bradley, | President of the Company, informed them that| the affairs of the corporation were in such shape as to “justify commencement of dividend pay-| ments,” and s hese might begin in the second quarter of this year. The rate fixed by the company—ten cents per quarter or 40 cents annually—is four per cent on the stock at part of $10 but more cent on the average quotatiors cirront in recent months. While this is not excossive, it is gratify- ing under all of the exisiing circumstances.

(New York Times.) After postponing for ten years action on the constitutional mandate to reapportion the House of Representatives, Congress last year passed a law authorizing the Department of Commerce to draw up a plan. If Congress does not modify it, the House will be recast accordingly. Under it eleven States gain seats, twenty-one States lose. Con- gress knew this perfectly when it finally and re- luctantly obeyed the requirement of the Constitu- tion. There is no excuse for agitating the question [’ all over again. Yet this is what Representatives and Senators from the States which lose members propose to do at the short session of Congress. The new reapportionment law was based on the principle that the House is already too large, 435 members, and should not be increased. No new facts have arisen to change that decision or to call its justice into dispute. The only possible ground of opposition is the selfish wish of States which have lost in population to keep their present numerical representation. Advocates of reopening the entire question say that they are assured of aid from neutrals; that is, of States which have neither gained nor lost under the reapportionment. It is to be hoped that this| is not true. The law having been adopted after long debate and delay, neutrals should not permit | themselves to be used to set it aside. In sghis| House the neutrals have 74 votes; the States which | gain under the reapportionment have 151—a total of 225 against the 210 which could be mustered by the States which are to lose members in the Seventy- third House. With only eleven weeks of life for| the short sssion, the reapportionment question | { should not be allowed to ! consume any of the time.| It rests with the neutrals to see that it does not.| In the Senate 42 members come from States which 08" WG, described as follows, to-wit: embraced in U.

A filibuster against it would work the wrong way, for in this case inaction means rati- fication. On the face of the report, normal Republican territory will gain votes and Democratic areas will lose in the electoral college of 1932. But this should not be used to influence action. The law is just, the mandate is constitutional. There will be more than enough politics played in the Legis- latures of States where new Congressional districts are to be carved out. Any who had hoped that 1931 would provide a rest from political manoeuvres reckoned without this disturbing question. Y The Greatest of Our Contemporaries. (John Brophy in the London Saturday Review.) We reserve a little corner of life where we are not overawed, where we can strut in the sun of our own approving smiles. But this pleasing and useful old custom of setting limits to our eulogies has just been burst and thrown aside by, of all people, Mr. Bernard Shaw. At the Savoy Hotel the other evening, proposing the toast, he said: “To the great- est of our contemporaries—Einstein. It was done deliberately and there can be no suggestion that Mr. Shaw was affected by heady wines or the flavors of strong meats. All Europe and America knows he is not that sort of man. Unless the B. B. C. entered into an abominable conspiracy of im- personation or my loud-speaker became possessed of a devil, Mr. Shaw calmly, distinctly and to his face called Professor Einstein the greatest man alive. There is no loophole in a claim like that. For, observe, the professor is not named the leading scientist, mathematician or thinker of our time, but, roundly, “ths greatest of our contemporaries.” That covers rose growing, stamp collecting, dirt-track rac- ing and any other accomplishment with which you and 1 and the man next door may be nourishing our self-respect. Of course Mr. Shaw has always been a hero worshiper. He has looked up with adoring eyes to Karl Marx, to Samuel Butler, to wagner and to Ibsen.
