AL 5SKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE LIQUOR REGULATIONS. It cannot be said that the -egulations issued by the Board of Liquor Control for the sale of alcoholic liquors err on the side of liberalism. The restrictions seem to be drastic enough to remove all fears that have been expressed in some quarters that| the Board might be so liberal and loose in its| rules that the old saloon system under a new guise\ would be established. No such fear was ever ,|usn-v fied by the tentative plans discussed some weeks ago. | Certainly under the system of licensing and regula- have ascended to seats of power in Italy, Germany and Russia. The Communist, the Bolshevist, the Nazi and the Fascist can speak from the public forum and be protected by the officers of the democracy-they attack.” Upon the very thing they deny to others where they are in the ascendency, they rely, and without disappointment, for a chance to have a hearing. A Proicssor McNair broadcasts from his seclusion at Harvard that what the country needs is a real Republican Party. Has the man never heard of Mr. Fess of Ohio? What a-soft job Pu ¥ has. All he has to do is say “Yes, Tokio,” and he gets $1,750,000 a year for doing it.

Kahn. (New York Herald Tribune.) A sharp loss to the cause of American culture is the passing of Otto Hermann Kahn. Banker and business man, author of countless philantrophies and patron of the arts, he has closed a notable and striking career. His loss will be deeply mourned. Born in Germany in 1867, of a banking family, and well grounded in Continental finance, Kahn emerged first in American public notice as the young financial aid and mentor of the late E. H. Harriman, whose famous corner in Union Pacific stock in the middle '90s-gave him control of that railroad over the opposition of J. P. Morgan and James J. Hill. From then forward and until the end his business judgment and his written and | spoken contributions on finance have always been sound, constructive and eagerly sought. But it is in the field of music, art and philan- thropy that Otto Kahn—a familiar figure in his ever immaculate attire, his bristling mustaches and gentle manners, at first nights, at the opera and wherever music or art framed the ‘occasion—found his most attractive metier. He was a sincere disciple of American culture and one of the few who crusad- tion formally adopted last week nothing resembling ! a saloon can legally operate. One feature of the system that is notable"is the| extremely low excise tax and moderate license fees| fixed by the Board. The excise levy of two andi one-half per cent of the invoice price of the liquor | is probably lower than the tax of any State in vuhlch‘ sale is legal. On liquor costing $40 per case the tax amounts to 33 1/3 cents per gallon. Some will cost | more than that sum and some less, but in no case | will the tax be high. The $100 fee for both retall and wholesale licenses amounts to less than 30 cents per day. No one can complain of excessive | taxation, and if liquor prices are high, the Board | cannot be held responsible because of high levies. | Time alone can tell how the regulations will work out It may be necessary to add to Lhem‘ from time to time and to amend those already promulgated. Since the Board can be convened any day by the Chairman, changes will not be hard to make nor require a long time. Amendments can be effected immediately if need for them is/ established 1 It is too much to hope that the regulations will | please everyone. The system of private sale \nili not suit many. Those who had advocated Terri- torial stores will be disappointed, as will others who urgently requested the Board to empower muni- cipalities to establish liquor stores. The Board was advised by competent legal authority, including' Delegate Dimond'and Attorney General Truitt, that it could neither establish Territorial stores nor dele- gate its power of control to municipalities so they could establish them. Nothing remained -but to | establish a gystem of private sale. The Board de- voted a great deal of time to the system it did| create. Its members honestly and sincerely*sought to make it a workable system. It rests with all of us now to do our part. It will work if we do Beginning May 1, those who desire it can purchase liquor legally. Let's make it smart to legally drink | CLEANUP WEEK. Juneau’s annual Cleanup Week will begin next | Sunday. No clvic undertaking is of as much immed- iate benefit to the community as it is. It benefits the property of the whole town, adds not only wl its appearance but actually to its value. It also‘ promotes better health. A dirty town is a disease- ridden town. A clean town is healthy, physically ond. morally. Thus, if not a single stranger passed through our gates, the benefits to be derived from &n organized attack on debris and dirt are too! great to be missed through neglect and indifference. Juneau probably will have more summer visitors this summer than for many years. Transportation | companies report the largest bookings for a long time. The tourist trade is reviving greatly, We cannot expect them to be favorably impressed with the town if it is run down at the heel, unkempt and slaternly. If we want to benefit by the tourist business we must show a proper regard for the opinions of the summer visitor. The Chamber of Commerce, as usual, is taking the leadership in the cleanup movement. It is seeking the cooperation of other organizations in the city, of business houses and of all individuals. Only through such organization can the work be properly and effectively done. It is the duty of all of us to ald in the campaign. DEMOCRACY. The people of Switzerland have recently em- phasized their devotion and loyalty to the principles and traditions of a democracy that seems to be no longer the fashion in many self-proclaimed demo- eratie countries. By a majority of 70,000 votes the 8wiss people have voted to give democratic rights to anti-democratic parties. No longer will the Fascist and Communist parties in Switzerland be denied the right to oppose the Government and advocate its overthrow. In a word, Switzerland ‘or Nazi State dares to do—allows rights to those who condemn democratic principles. That is to the right of anti-democrats to democratic rights, in a democracy, is not conceded to be their right, but the inalienable right of the democracy Opposition is the first principle of democracy. democracy cannot endur¢ as such when it fails extend this right to others who, in fact, neither nor deserve it. ‘o[ ed with an abiding faith in the esthetic sense of Americans regardless of a German and English training. No other man in this country was so ideeply identified with opera. This city knew him best as President and Chairman of the Board of the Metropolitan Opera. He was the founder of the Chicago Opera Company, Vice-President of the Philharmonic-Symphony Orchestra Society, Director the Boston Opera and identified with many other musical causes. He believed implicitly in the future greatness of the American stage and American art and literature, and his beneficences in this direction will long be remembered. Few Americans were more devoted to the cause of the Allies during the war period than Otto ahn. He denounced Prussianism in vigorous speeches and writing, and among his most notable contributions was his London home, St. Dunstan’s |Lodge, Regents Park, as a refuge and school for blinded soldiers. America has lost an outstanding business man, a public-spirited citizen and a loyal advocate of American greatness. Highway Planning. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) With the fate of the nation’s highway construc- tion program for the next several years due for a |decision by Congress and the President within the next‘ month, highway users and good roads asso- !ciations in all parts of the country are keeping !close track of the trend of events in Washington. While there is a strong sentiment in many quarters for an appropriation to cover all forms of national recovery projects, there are many lead- ers, both in the executive branch of the Govern- ment and in Congress, who are determined to see that an adequate amount of this money is appro- priated either directly or earmarked specifically for the construction of roads. “During the depths of the depression, many States found it expedient to turn over funds de- rived from direct taxes upon highway users to purposes of relief,* said Charles M. Upham, En- gineer-Director of the American Road Builders Association, “and this arrangement must necessarily continue in all but a few of the States since the “Should the Federal Government at this time drop its activities along the lines of planning, co- ordinating and financing highway construction, the result would be an almost complete cessation of road building throughout the country for at leastl a year.” “On ‘the other hand, the continuance of the Federal Government’s activity for another year along the same lines as have been followed this |year will not only assure some half million work- ers of continued employment, but will enable the States, when the Legislatures have had an oppor- tunity to act, to return to their normal program much sooner than they could should they be forced to abandon constructive work on their public investments for a whole year.” The situation is especially pressing in the less heavily populated States of the West and Southwest, where highways form the principal modes of com- munication. In these States the Federal Govern- ment owns enormous tracts of land from which the State derives no revenue. Unless, however, a long-range program is adopt- ed now, planning for intelligent and continued highway improvement, the result will be that all present activity is merely a temporary palliative for unemployment and the benefits that other- wise would derive from planned highway economy will be lost to the nation at large, thus making a new start necessary when the present crisis shall have passed.

Judith L SYNOPSIS: Slim Sanford and Justin Cunard have come to the Rio Diablo dam to tell Judith Dale that Morton Lampere’s trickery is temporarily checked. Lampere is trying to break Big Tom Beving’ will, which has given Judith 5 mil- Tion dollars with which to comple the dam. Judith’s husband. Nor- man, has sided with Lampere and the Beving heirs.
