ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION HELPING AVIATION. An excellent suggestion comes from Murray Hall, Aeronautics Inspector for Alaska, who has been directing the search for the Hines plane out of Fairbanks. As a further move to make airplane travel safer, Hall recommends a law that would require all planes to be equipped with two-way| radio sets. While not a cure-all for such air tragedies as has befallen us in the last few weeks it certainly would be a precautionary move against disas On the established air lines, planes carrying passengers are in contact with airports at regular intervals all the time that they are in the air. From the moment they leave the ground until they land at their des- tination, the ground stations know just where the planes are, what speed they are making, weather conditions they are confronting and all other import-| ant information, as a result of two-way radio com- munication. In the event of a force landing, even should the radio be out of order at that particular moment, the ground stations can tell nearly the| exact location of the plane from the last reports, which are given at about 15-minute intervals. Rescue ships can be dispatched to the very spot the dis- tressed ship was last heard from. Nothing can stop the progress of aviation, and one of the things which will make it move more rapidly forward is to take advantage of every modern safety method. The two-way radio communication has proven itself many times in the States, and necessary would appear in Alaska where have greater distances to span by air far from settlements. The Hall recommenda- tion would not only be a safeguard against such a disaster as has apparently overtaken the Fairbanks plane but it would help to build up the confidence travelers are beginning to get in air transportation. how much more we A TRUE COUF No les: that the Union cannot endure half slave and half free. Proponents of slavery cried in that it was unconstitutional to abolish it, and, even as now, shouted, “Save the Constitution.” Tt took a Civil War to settle the issue and with its termina- tion the Constitution was not junked, but simply amended in accord with the wishes of the majority. Today the cry of opponents of Franklin D. Roose- | velt, another great President, is “Save the Consti- tution.” An autocratic dictatorship is being set| up in Washington, they charge, which has no regard | for State nor Constitutional rights. The alarm, of course, is being sounded merely for political effect and has no foundation in truth, any | more than did a similar charge against Lincoln. There is something higher than the Supreme Court, and that is the will of the people of this country. The voice of the people will speak in support of the President because he thinks in terms of na- tional security, ' national prosperity angd not along| class nor section lines to the detriment of the| whole people. The exploiters of mankind and the guardians of great wealth may shout “Save the Constitution” until they are blue in the face and President Roose- velt will follow the course he has outlined that this nation cannot continue politically free and economically enslaved, even as Lincoln said some 75 years ago on the slave issue. The course of Roosevelt is just the same today as was that of the martyred President: The Union must and shall be preserved to establish justice and promote domestic tranquility.

Section 1677 of the Compiled Laws of Alask.l reads that school boards within incorporated muni- cipalities are not only authorized to order vaccina- tion but it says “shall require, if in the judgment| of the Territorial Health Officer such action is ry for the welfare of the community, the ’ to be vaccinated Health school as the Territorial ren attending said against such diseases Officer may specify.” Ceremonial opening of the Douglas Bridge wiil be sort of an anti-climax after the impromptu cele- bration put on by those wide-awake Douglas resi- dents. The Airways Service. (Ketchikan Chronicle.) | Aviation in Southeast Alaska has known many |ups and downs since that day only a few years back when Roy Jones brought north Ketchikan's | first plane. | This season it looked as if a degree of perman- ence and stability were to be given the industry. \navul architects and built by Amer-|what at first appears to be su- .|The Pacific Alaska Airways, a subsidiary of Pan-|icay artisans have within the last|breme misfoftune. American Airways, moved down from the Interior and put planes in service out of Juneau and Ket-land are now enlisted in yeoman‘GlEU"‘ which probably will undergo | service for the Allied cause in Ger-|scrious troubles. Shortage of food Now, however, on the heels of a busy season, the.mm and Turkish waters. While the | Will ¢ | chikan. Pacific Alaska Airways announces that it is to dis-| |continue service out of Ketchikan in a few days. |The indications are that PAA does not plan to re-| |new its local service even with the coming of an- |other busy season next summer. Of course, we shall have plane service whether or not PAA gives it to us. Local aviation enthus-| iasts, including many business men who find the| |service almost a necessity will not see it die. All summer we have had an independent service operat- ing out of Ketchikan. So the question is not one of planes or no planes. Rather, the discontinuance of service by PAA points to the fact that, neces-| |sary as we find plane service, we still do not” have provisions for air mail. Air mail contracts have been in most instances| little more than subsidies. We do not know if a subsidy is needed for Alaskan operation, though it appears as if the abundance of passenger and ex-| press business is actually sufficient to pay all costs and still leave a profit. Nevertheless, aside from needs of the operating firms themselves, we must consider the needs of | Alaskans. And in that respect, we know that air mail would be worth while. For example, under | existing methods of mail transportation, outlying |sections are served infrequently, and days are re- quired for small boats to trav routes that are |covered in a few minutes by airplane. Nothing would tend to link parts of the Terri- tory more closely together than air mail service. Yet only meager provision has been made by Con- gress for such service. Thus, while the decision of PAA to discontinue service here is to be regretted in itself, neverthe- less the district, might conceivably profit more if we avoid criticism of PAA and turn instead to a study| of air mail possibilities. If such a study were to show that there is much to be gained from air mail service, then anything we say might carry | weight where it can do most good. Master Mind | That this should come to pass was wnevivable— that Howard C. Hopson, somewhere along the line, ‘would be Cal]ed the “master mind.” Like the “high- powered-car,” the “smoking revolver” and the “sick- ening thud,” the “master mind” is always populflr with us newspaper folks. So Howard Hopson joins the innumerable cara- van, and as the latest in master minds will gladden | |the heart of many a headline writer. ; Was it from this master mind that the idea| came of faking signatures for telegraphic protests | by the simple process of going alphabetically through | the telephone book? Did this super intellect con- |ceive the great thought of employing Elmer, mes- senger boys and divinity student, to solicit among ;his friends and relatives at 3 cents per signature? ‘Mr Hopson denies that he was the “directing | genius” behind the telegraphic bombardment. But| ‘master minds sometimes are modest, sometimes gen- |erous in passing credit for vast ideas on to friends and associates. {an organization of master minds and that the| credit for those brilliancies should go elsewhere. But there is at least one tribute that cannot be| denied. When it learned that Howard C. Hopson | {was wanted for questioning, the master mind clicked. With unerring judgment it snapped to its| conclusion with a noise like the slamming of a tome on pure reason. The way, said the master| mind to its owner, to avoid being questioned is to scram. And he did. | | | | A lobby is a private tail trying to wag the public ‘dog AxHought,on Line.) $935 000 MlNT FOR ganenrr SAN FRANCISCO EEun (LG Here is the architect's drawing of the United States mint to be conatructed in 8an Francisco at a cost of $935,000.
