ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NOT LEGALLY SOUND. Our esteemed contemorary, the Ketchikan Chon- icle, assailing the tentative regulations of the Board of Liquor Control demands that it turn liquor control over to the municipalities and retire from the scene. Presumably it has in mind sale through municipal liqu stores when it asserts: Liquor regulation rightfully belongs with the City Councils. They are the best quali- fied. They know local conditions. The Liquor Control Board should get out of a bad mess and re-delegate its authority to the several municipal governments and be content with the collection of its excise tax on liquor sales. Nothing that the Board has done takes away from the municipalities a single power given to it under the Territorial code for such governments. It is powerless to rob them of a single bit of authority. Equally it is powerless to add to their powers. In considering the advisability of per- mitting cities to establish municipal stores, the Board’s members got the best legal advice available on that subject. Without exception every attorney consulted gave it as his opinion that the Board could not ‘“re-delegate its authority” as our good neighbor of the First City so truculently demands. Two things were clearly established to the Board. First, it could not turn over regulation and control t6 the municipalities. Sceond, it could not legally establish Territorial liquor stores. That left it no alternative but to establish a system of private sale. The question then arose as to who should be permitted to engage in the business. Should it be a limited system, or one open to any legitimate firm? business man or If only certain businesses were permitted to handle intoxicating liquors, the itself open to two charges: personal or political favoritism, and creation of a monopoly. Even though there were no grounds for the first, the chance for both is present in a system of limited sale. And certainly permitting only favored lines of business to engage in the traffic is the very essence of monopoly. Faced with such inevitable results, the Board could do nothing except make the competition as wide as possible, limiting it only to require that those selling liquor be persons of good repute. Hasty condemnation of the Board, based upon a lack of consideration of all the elements in its problem, without regard for the legal factors involved and with but scant knowledge of what the Board has planned to do, is as unfair as it is unethical. It can benefit no one, least of all the general public. Again we suggest the proper attitude for all of us is that of co-operation. Let's help make it a workable system. We can do more in this direction by driving the bootlegger out of business than in any other. “Let’s make it smart to legally drink legal liquor.” NO DICTATOR FOR US. Every now and then, as Mr. Waltér Lippmann noted in an article in The Empire not long ago, some loose thinker likens President Roosveelt's posi- tion to that of one of the European dictators. A comparison of this kind is perfectly absurd. Each European dictatorial regime began by destroying the Constitutional authority of the Legislature and by twisting the electoral laws so as to insure its permanence. Witness the Italian election recently at which only one ticket was submitted to the voters. GENERAL MANAGER Board would lay/| prising that the verdict was almost a unanimous “yes” in the 10,000,000 who went to the polls. | In this country the Constitutional authority of the Legislature has not been touched and the elec- tion machinery is unchanged. No attempt was made to alter either. On the contrary all of the extra- ordinary powers of Mr. Roosevelt has been gived to him by Congress. And as for a law restricting suffrage to the supporters of the President, that is unthinkable. It is still within the power of the | electorate, if it disapproves of him, to relegate him i to private life. { In Italy, as has been convincingly demonstrated, Mussolini cannot be turned out by the votes of the { people; in Germany only good Nazis can vote, and | Hitler sits supreme; as for Poland and Russia, the icnmmon people really have no voice. A great gulf ‘.ls between these European regimes and that of the | present Administration. It is true that the President has been clothed with extraordinary authority. But any American is free to speak his mind and vote as he pleases. Let any one in Germany, Italy, Poland and Russia try that and he would be off to a concentration camp—to & stony island in the Adriatic ,or a black| exile in Siberia, or worse. We have voluntarily agreed to do certain things for the public good, to {forget a part of our rugged individualism and to make a collective effort to make things better, but we do not have a dictator. It is becoming increas- ingly evident, too, that we do not mneed one to accomplish our purposes. Invitation to the Dance. (Manchester, Eng., Guardian.) The newspaper campaign for a larger Air Force grows in violence. But it is surprising to find the “Observer” snapping at the Government's heels with ‘one extraordinary argument. Commenting on the new French program, “This country,” it states, “will have to follow suit.” (Exactly how does that follow? Are we proposing to fight France?) The surest way to make war impossbile is to establish such relative air strength as shall make certain that no Power can engage in war without challenging self- destruction. On the contrary, that seems to us the “surest way” to bring war about in the shortest possible time. It is merely a translation (with trappings) of Lord Rothermere’s slogan “Armaments Make for Peace.” And if there is one field in which that ancient | lie is more plainly and visibly a lie than another it is that of air armaments. An air force cannot defend. Its one function is to deal out reprisals. And does anyone believe that Europe is building its air fleets for nothing, that when the time of this “relative air strength” is established the hair trigger will never go off, that nice calculations of self- interest will suffice to hold everlastingly in check the very purpose for which those air fleets were built? General Goring demands for Germany 30 to 40 per cent of the air strength of the countries {which neighbor her frontiers. Could not everybody else make the same claim? How can any con- ceivable point or rest in such a balanacing business ever be arrived at? France meanwhile proposes to Ispend £50,000,000 on ‘“reorganziation,” on the plea of the “menace” of German civil 'planes—a plea which everyone who knows the relative air strength of the two countries knows to be grotesque. And is this country also te join the same mad dance, |a dance of which the ghastly end-is certain? | New Blood in Control. (New York Herald Tribune.) The younger and progressive element in the Eparty will take control of the National Republican |Club at the annual meeting in April. The program mapped out for the new administration contem- Iplates making this old organization an increasingly |vital force in furthering the welfare of the country through the Republican Party. 1 Practically "every one of the nominees for the Inew regime is young and militant. The ticket is |headed by Colonel Roosevelt, who in accepting the nomination emphasizes his return to official politics. |“Under the new leadership,” an official announce- ment states, “the club plans to advance a program lof liberal policies, to criticize fearlessly and con- 'structively.” It will “look at the country as a whole and consider measures from the viewpoint of the many, not of the few.” ! It is planned Yo increase the membership of the organization, not only resident but nen-resident, so that it may truly represent the party in the nation. |All public questions and party problems will be studied intensively with the hope that the club may become a focus of party enthusiasm and in- fluence nationally. Not only is this an ambitious program but one which, if carried through, should ‘be of great benefit to the Republican Party and ‘}w the nation. | 'The big-hearted Minnesota welfare worker who says a family of five can live a week on $5 should (get at least 95 on that one. A week is about right. —(Macon Telegraph.) Another thing we can’t understand is how a Ibright boy can caddy for golfers day after day | and not laugh himself to death.—(Los Angeles Times.) } Prosperity will be here again when the old re- | mark is revived, “Keep the change.”—(Ohio State | ame They, could either vote yes or no.

She drowsed a little, then sat up alert as Mathile’s laugh sounded from the hall. Judith thought of the sdb/scene in, the office that after- | noon. The sound of motors came from the driveway, meshing of gears, then silence. Soon Norman would come up and they would discuss | things and perhaps find a way to compromise, The moon was topping the grove as it had topped the Gulf horizon that night . eons ago it seemed to Judith. She had stood on the trawler deck and watched the shad- owWs. There had been a triangle and she with the strange premonition of | women-kind had sensed the shadow ag more than a filament of fancy. One black bar had dissolved . . . | one life had faded, and yet the tri- |angle seemed to hold its place in her life. Word by word she recalled her | conversation with Norman that |night. She bad asked him if she must make a choice between her work and her marriage and he had sald no. He had prophesied that she would be contented. She had been. She would have been stronger in her fight against Lampere had she not been able to see the whole af- tair from Norman's viewpoint. She was a girl-wife, a stenographer, de- voted to the memory of a man who | had stood by at her father’s death, |then as soon as he was able, had | given her a fine position. He had suffered sunstroke, soften- ing of the brain, something which had given him pecnliar ideas . . . why else would a man leave the building of a dam to a stenogra- pher! He had worked out a cunning plan and by playing on the girl's emotional loyalty was literally forcing her to carry them out. (Copyright, 1934, by Jeanne Bowman) Tomorrow, to the enemy.
