ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. WHY 3.2 AIDS REPEAL. When Congress was endeavoring to fix the alcoholic content of beer to a nicety, one question which arose was the possible effect of repeal of Anti-Saloon of intelligence. forces and to it. result if Wash all likely.

NOT WHAT HE MEAN What he means s repeal this month, it is unlikely that the resolution can become effective this year. S. F. Scott McBride, General Superintendent of the League, who Washington State against repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment, tells the voters if Washington refuses to ratify-the resolution “we will win” and the nation will remain dry. Of course, he doesn't believe any such thing. Dr. McBride isn't foolish. He is a man is heading the fight in He had to be to succeed the late Wayne B. Wheeler as chief strategist of the Dry hold the job after he had obtained if Washington State rejects That might possibly ington should go dry, which isn't at however, the wet leaders, through should lose the State, it might be possible that ratification would not become effective That is the worst that could follow a dry victory in the Evergreen State. es have voted on the resolution for Twenty States have ratified it at the polls. rst State, Arizona, votes tomorrow. are fighting hard there to stem the tide, the concensus of opinion is that it will be the twenty-first State to turn thumbs down on National Eighteenth Amendment. Old King Canute, we recall, was also optimistic and ordered the tide to stop. as Senator Sheppard and his Dry associates will. He had about as much success law enforcing authorities seem to stringing with the kidnapers. Now stringing up a few of them, they ought to get somewhere against that Satan-devised Tax Yields. (New York Times.) For the first time since the fiscal year ended the Eighteenth Amendment. It was suggested thatlon june 30 the Treasury has published detailed if beer were restored to its former strength it might figures of its revenues for 1932-33. The various ex- be popular enough to head off the demand for |cise taxes adopted a year ago by Congress as a the Twenty-first Amendment. Again States raced to be the first to allow its sale, the pointing showi when the |substitute for a general sales tax made a disap- ng. Compared with an estimated feeling persisted in some wet circles that the public [vield of $602,000,000, they actually brought in only would stop there. But the parade for repeal has borne out the $325,000,000. Of only one to m a score or more of new imposts, the tax of 10 per cent on safety-deposit boxes was the easure up to expectations, and this prediction of Mr. James J. Farley and Mr. Jouett ;. o0 entirely a cause for gratification, since the Shouse. any State will deny repeal. Viewed at this stage, the reasons why the sale progress last Fall and Winter. part a by-prod The question at the moment s whether |increased use of deposit boxes was doubtless in uct of the hoarding of currency in Taxes on electrical of beer has aided the cause of repeal are several.|energy, oil pipe-lines and the sale of automobile Certainly the most intelligent former Drys know trucks and accessories, gasoline, matches, soft drinks, that orderly purveying beer has thinned out the beer flats and liquor joints.

Probably the most important effect on the public mind of legalizing the decimal point is the visual demonstration that the States can set up control of beverages without the return of the saloon. That bogey has been laid. We find various States modi- fying regulations, in the belief that the more regu- lations are liberalized the less racketeering we shall have. A A very considerable former strength of the Anti- Saloon League in many States was based on the earnest and sincere desire for temperance and morality. The swing of this preponderant element from the Eighteenth Amendment to the Twenty- first Amendment surely has been encouraged by the orderly sale of beer. State regulation is seen as better than laws which encouraged the illicit traffic. In Alaska, where the National Prohibition Act and the Alaska Bone Dry Act were combined by the law enforcement agencies in an effort to prevent the sale of liquor, failure to achieve the object was as commonplace as was failure to enforce the Na- tional act all over the country. The liberal regula- tions of the Territory governing the sale of beer have done more for temperance and morality than the other two laws have been able to do since their enactment. The successful administration by the Territory of three point two beer ought to be suffi- cient justification for Congress to pass Delegate Dimond’s bill repealing the Alaska Bone Dry Law, and to authorize the Territory to regulate and control the sale of liquor after the Twenty-first Amendment is adopted. AS OTHERS SEE US. Sometimes one lives so close to his home town that it is not possible for him to get a true pers- pective on its conditions or a well-defined picture of the community. Often, others at a proper dis- tance can see it more clearly than the residents themselves. Possibly this is true to some extent of our own people. We see unemployed in our midst and, as we meet the calls of funds to aid those in need, we may be inclined to think our lot is not what it ought to be. To others less fortunately situated, we are pointed to as worthy of emulation. This seems to have been in the mind of the Seward Gateway, as indicated by a recent editorial appear- ing in it, under the caption: “Why and How" as follows: Juneau may boast, with a degree of accuracy, of being the best town or city in United States possessions. The cause of this happy condition is not difficult of analysis. Juneau has relied upon its natural resources rather than upon false stimulants to waft it forward. Standing as a monument to foresight and genius, is the Alaska Juneau gold mine, which ranks near the top of great gold mines of the American continent, and bids fair to duplicate the record of the famous Treadwell. This mine was made, not dis- covered. True it required a large sum of money to accomplish this, but the .expendi- ture has been justified a thousandfold. Its payroll is something of which Juneau is Justly proud. And while others might have kept their eyes riveted upon Washington as a source of progress and revenue, Juneau has cast about her, and brought into fruition indus- tries which gave big and permanent pay- rolls. In these her own citizens have played a large part, utilizing their surplus to stimu- late industries and thereby inviting outside capital to come in. Some day the remainder of Alaska will take a tip from Juneau and follow its lead. From that date onward there will be other communities emerging to join Juneau In her boast.

The Blanket Code. (Boston News Bureau.) It is frankly a war measure which the Com- mander-in-Chief now hands to the army of Ameri- can business to carry out for the last five months Only insignificant units, and among women such individuals as domestic servants, are And just as frankly it is a bold or even desperate measure to meet what Gen. Johnson has termed a “crisis.” code as a voluntary act, in which, agree, represents a But, as often in warfare, Gen. John- lagging, made clear to him as the immediate commander and to the generalissimo of prompt action. Hence this new, almost universal strategy. The separate codes came flowing in fast, it is many of them seemed prolix and but the net result to date was dis- appointing to the strategists. Output seemed to be largely stimulated in spots, but the question seemed still to linger as to whether the orders causing that expansion were not largely just anticipatory, with thoughts of both rising costs and prices. there seemed to be inherent in all this circulatory process a considerable lack of real consumptive de- mand. Therein may lie the urgent significance of Gen. Johnson's battle chart.
