ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE HUMAN FACTOR. In an interview recently given The Empire, W. L. Paul, after studying the 1934 regulations for the salmon fishery, declared: I am impressed by the fact that Mr. Bell (Commissioner of Fisheries) has made up his mind that the resident fishermen of Alaska must have a chance to make a decent living for themselves and their fauilies. That same impression, we believe, must have been made upon everyone who has read the digest of the new regulations which recently was published in this paper. It is evident that the Commissioner was taking action fhat he was convinced would benefit local fishermen. He opened new fishing grounds for seiners and closed permanently 93 fish traps that Mr. Paul declared are shown by records of previous years to have taken more than 4,500,000 salmon. Thai doesn’t mean, of course, that all of these fish Wil get to the seining grounds. Some, naturally, will be taken by remaining traps. Some the seiners will take and some will reach the spawn- ing grounds. Thus Mr. Bell does two beneficial things by his trap closure, he aids the local fish- ermen making a living, and he promotes the cause of conservation. Commissioner Bell told Alaskans last year that in making his regulations for 1934, he would give due weight to the human factors involved in the salmon fishery. He proclaimed his belief that local fishermen bad a, right to e local market at a fair price for his take of fish. Fair-minded observers, we are confident, will concede that he has lived up to that promise. LIQUOR CONTROL IN SIGHT. Chairman McDuffie of the House Committee on Insular Affairs is authority for the statement that Alaska, and other Territories, will shortly be dele- gated the power to control the liquor traffic within their borders. In this connection last week he asserted: 1 know Congress intends to give the insular and territorial possessions the same authority on control of liquor as it does the States. Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment left the control of liquor squarely in the hands of the several States. Congress’s only power is to enact legislation affecting interstate traffic. What goes on within any State is solely the concern of its residents. That is the authority which, Mr. Me- Duffie said, Congress intends to give to the pos- sessions and Territories. Of course, that will be welcomed here. exactly what the 1933 Legislature asked Congress to do. In anticipation that it would grant its recuest, it enacted a law setting up a Liquor Control Board, headed by the Governor and including, also, the Attorney General and the Auditor. That Board is given plenary power to establish rules and regulations, having the force and effect of law, to regulate the traffic until the next Legislature shall mect in 1935. The wisdom of that action is now It is evident. Lacking such an organization, Congress either would postpone transfer of the power until the Legislature meets, or we would have a wide- open liquor business without provisions for taxa- |tion or licenses and with no restrictions of any kind. ; It is gratifying to know that the House Com- | mittee is dealing with this subject so early in the | session. It is not unlikely that they can be disposed |of and sent to the Senate before the regular and | emergency appropriation bills are reached. COLLEGE WELL REPRESENTED. The members of the basketball team of the ‘Alaska Agricultural College and School of Mines, which departs from here tonight after a week's stay, have been capable and efficient ambassadors of that institution. They have made friends for the college and brought it closer to all of us. All of the catalogues issued by it, all of the extension work done by its representatives. have not surpassed these young men in visualizing what this lone institution of higher learning is to the Territory. All except one of the players are Alaskans, products of the high schools of the Territory. They come from almost all parts of Alaska, a fair share of them from this city. They not only played the game well, they played it cleanly, and not only won like good sports, they lost in the same spirit. The record made by them to date, winning 12 out of 14 games played. is unusually fine. On their homeward journey. we wish for them con- tinued success. And Juneau hopes that they will visit it again next year so that we may renew their acquaintance, and through them get better acquainted with the college which they have rep- resented so well. Mr. Insull shouldn’t feel too badly about his banishment from Athens. He ought to remember that exiling of men is a quaint old fashioned Athenian custom that was an ancient habit 2,000 years before he discovered Greece had no extradi- tion treaty with the United States . . i For Expectant Fathers. | (St. Louis Globe-Democrat.) A person need not be of deeply suspicious nature | to see more than greets the eye in the development of a “Class for Expectant Fathers” now under way in Cleveland. Dr. Eldred Thiehoff, Municipal Di- rector of Child Health in that center, who has led | mothers in the art of child care for almost a dozen | years, has undertaken the work, at the urging, he says, of mother who have profited. It is explained that mothers want expectant | fathers to know all about child care so they will| not then interfere with schedules of feeding and | rest that are set up and maintained by the informed mothers. That, it seems, is the one and only reason ad- vanced by the women sponsors of baby-care train- | ing for men. And, of course, they would not fool | us; not for a moment. If it were, we might attendi the classes and have less cause for worry about our future and growing responsiwuities about the house.
