ASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASIOUAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. y | THE COMING PRIMARY ELECTIONS. In just two weeks, members of the two major | political parties in Alaska will choose by their ballots ! candidates to enter the general election pext Scp-“ tember—candidates for Delegate to Congress, Ter-" ritorial Treasurer, Senators and Representatives to, constitute the 1935 Alaska lLegislature. The Repub- licans have no candidates for Delegate and but one for nomination for Treasurer. Delegate Dimond | has no opposition for the Democratic nomination for Delegate. There are two rival candidates | for the Treasury post. There is no lack of competition ic: Legislative positions. In every Division there are contests in both parties for both the House and Senate, indi- cating a keen interest in local campaigns. This: rivalry ought to serve to bring out a good vote in both primaries and to keep party adherents in their own bailiwick in a large measure. desirable ends to be attained. Each party ought to be froc 1 outside interference in nominating their candidates ior the general election. Each, thus, could selec! Iz persons it believed most capable of representi in the Government and most likely to appeal (o all voters at election time. For many years, not only in the Territory but | throughout the country where the balance between parties is more or less evenly divided, primary elec- tions have come to be something of a byword | largely because they have not represented the will | of the parties. Party lines have been ignored in| them and party responsibility destroyed because of n.‘ If the direct primary is to be perpetuated as a| part of our system, this will have to be changed.| Just now the sentiment is growing against it. It will continue to grow until recognized evils originat- ing under it are eliminated. | During the past two or three sessions of the| Legislature, the abandonment of the existing primary | system here has been seriously considered. One of | the most grave charges against it was that the! primaries had ceased to be party elections and had | become catchalls by which scheming politicians en- | deavored to control both political organziations. That ! charge should not lie against this month’s primaries. There are enough candidates in every Division rep- resenting both parties to afford every Republicanl and Democrat a wide variety of choice within the | ranks of his own organization and keep his vote | in his own party fold. — | THE TREND OF THE SUPREME COURT. These are days in which the direction of mind of the Supreme Court is a matter which concerns all of us. There are any number of things inaug-| urated by the Roosevelt Administration which are likely to be called before the court. The whole temper of present legislation has swung to the long line ~of dissenting opinions for which Justices Holmes and Brandeis stood so steadfastly. But the majority of the Supreme Court Justices have been aligning themselves with the current of thought for which thse two members are noted. The most recent illustration is the majority view | of the court in the decision in the New York State milk control law. 7 Chief Justices Hughes, who, as practicing at- torney, represented some of the largest aggregations of corporate wealth, and who, therefore, received the appointment from President Hoover over the protest of those who called themselves liberals, has led the van in what might be called the liberal point of view. Likewise Justice Harlan F. Stone, ap- pointed by President Coolidge and hailed as a con- servative, has been viewing things eye-to-eye with Mr. Chief Justice Hughes and Justices Cardoza and Roberts. Curiously enough it is Justice McReynolds, who, as Attorney General, fought Mr. Hughes in the trust cases when he represented great corporations, who sees things from the more conservative view- piont. In all this there is the hopeful symptom that all elements of the American people can look to the United States Supreme Court with a feeling of safety and confidence. If there is any legal mind in the land which may be expected to see the historic constitutional rights of capital it is Chief Justice Hugies's, and those who viewed his ap- pointinc: with suspicion are the very ones who earlier acclaimed the atfitude of Justice McReynolds, There have been times in American history in which public estimate in the Supreme Court was mostly pariisan, as in the Dred-Scott case, but surely this is not the case today. DEATHLESS BACTERIA. At intervals in the last few years, Dr. Charles Lipman, dean of the graduate division and pro- of plant physiology at the University of 1 has brought forward evidence indicating hat bacteria can live in a dormant condition, em- in rocks or coal or even meteors, for long of time. Dr. Lipman speaks of long he means from 15 to 100 or more millions years. Both are | 7 recently came the report of Prof. R. Lieske of the Kaiset Wilhelm Institute, who finds that bacteria can live for eons of time in coal, a result that substantiates previous reports of Dr. Lipman. Close on the heels of the German substantiation comes another, report from the University of Cali- fornia that Dr. Lipman has now extended his studies to materials other than coal and rocks. He finds living bacteria in soil that has been sealed in bottles for from 25 to 33 years in the department of plant physiology. And he likewise finds living organisms in earth sealed for 65 years. With the bacteria were living plants known as algae. Working ever backward from the present, further work in Dr. Lipman'‘s labhoratory gave evidence that tha organisms in soil (never wet) that was taken from the floors of old Spanish missions are 150 years old: Thus encouraged he obtained evidence of the same facts from bricks in ancient Arizona pueblo homes 600 years old, pre-Inca pyramids, 1,400 years old, and pre-Aztec pyramids about 1,000 years old.

Unemployment Insurance. (New York Times.) President Roosevelt has endorsed the Wagner- Lewis bill for unemployment insurance and includ- ed it among the measures which the Administration hopes will be adopted at the present session. The bill would impose a Federal excise tax of 5 per cent on the payrolls of all establishments employing ten or more persons, with the exception of certain specified groups of employers including governmental agencies. This tax would become effective in the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1935, and the first collections would be made in 1936. Each employer |would be permitted to offset against the tax such sums as he contributed to employment insurance under State laws. To the States themselves would be left the form of insurance to be established and the administration of the plan. They could pre- scribe State-wide funds, industrial pooled funds, or individual reserves. They could determine whether contributions should be made by employers, by employees, or by both, and whether the State itself ishould bear a share of the burden. { The bill has been endorsed by Mr. Roosevelt ‘because he believes that unemployment insurance has become “an essential part of our program to \Democratic platform of 1932 pledged that party to the adoption of such a system under State con- trol, and because, while no insurnce plan could be expected to cope successfully with a major de- pression, it would “act as a stabilizing device in our economic structure, * * # retarding the rapid downward spiral curve and the onset of severe crises.” To these arguments Senator Wagner adds two others: that the proper time to plan such a system is when the experience of widespread funemployment is fresh in the public’'s mind, and that the use of the Fedpral taxing power is neces- sary in order to meet a point usually made against independent action by the States themselves—name- ly, that the expenses incidental to a State law would handicap local employers in interstate com- merce. Thus far, five chief arguments have been made against the bill: (1) that it is of doubtful con- stitutionality; (2) that the proposed tax is too high; (3) that, while collection of it would not begin until 1936, this does not allow sufficient time for industry to recuperate after the severe depression through which it has passed; (4) that the Federal Government would assume no obliga- tions in return for the additional income it would receive, and (5) that the plan would penalize rather than reward individual employers who volun- tarily put into effect an unemployment insurance plan in any State in which a law did not exist, since they would be compelled to pay the Federal tax in addition to the cost of voluntary insurance. Back to Bock. (New York Herald Tribune.) Although in the-immortal words of Mr. Miller, of “The Times,” The melancholy days are come, The saddest of the year; It's too darned warm for whiskey straight And far too cool for beer, and even though with casual blizzards upsetting the Weather Bureau so that Tom and Jerry is still the seasonal drink, it will soon be time for bock beer again. From Memphis, Tenn. comes, via the columns of our distinguished contemporary “The Commercial-Appeal,” the news that bock is back in the South. “The Commercial-Appeal,” laments that bock- wurst, the large, hot pork-and-beef sausage specially designed to complement this beverage, seems to have disappeared, but with bock itself once more 'before us we can put up with a side dish of salami or liver sausage or bratwurst and not feel we are roughing it. Just why the billy goat was originally selected as symbolic of spring brew is a tradition that seems to have been lost along with the bock- wurst, but the essential reality, the brew itself, reminiscent of the nostalgic past, of an era of more innocent simplicity than we are likely to see again, is once more chilling in the coils and rumbling through a thousand sidewalk hatches. Hard on the heels of this winter of our discontent comes bock, and if bock is in, can spring be far behind?

OLSON of Cordova, Candidate for Nomination Territorial Treasurer on the Democratic Ticket | cisco in 1915, E DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, TUESDAY, APRIL 10, 1934. Judith Lane by JEANNE EBOW, - 20 YEARE AGO From The Empire > APRIL 10, 1914. The Rev. John B. Stevens, pas- tor of the Presbyterian Church, of Juneau, was chosen as ministerial commissioner from the Presbytery of Alaska to the General Assembly of the church, to meet in Chicago in May, at the annual convention of the Presbytery in session in Juneau. Everyone was planning to attend the Altar Society dance to be held in the Elks' Hall on Easter Mon- day, April 13, according to all in- dications. Special ferries were be- ing run to Douglas Island and Sheep Creek at 1:30 the following morning to accommodate dancers from those places. Perry E. Jackson was chaosen manager for the Juneau baseball team for the 1914 season at a meeting held the prevoius evening. One of his first announcements was that there would be no piracy on the part ‘of either Juneau or Douglas. He had a conference with Manager Ferris of the Treadwell team and they agreed that ecach would refrain from trying to get players away from each other. Excavating was to begin for the building on Second Street within the week. The building was to be one of the first absolutely fire-proof build- ings in Alaska. Architect C. W. Winstedt had been commissioned to proceed with the working plans and start the building at once. It was to be constructed of reinforced concrete throughout with metal windows and door frames and out- side doors of metal. ‘Weather for the previous 24 hours was clear with a maximum tem- perature of 67 degrees and a min- imum of 34. Before leaving for Skagway, Mrs. Mary E. Hart arranged to secure a satisfactory exhibit for the building that was to be main- tained as headquarters for the Al- aska Cruise Club at the Panama- Pacific Exposition in San Fran- Among those who were to furnish exhibits were W.
