Need of transportation, especially roads through | which the rich resources of the Territory can be developed, again is stressed by men in position to know. Delegate Dimond in urging the Federal Gov- ernment to give greater recognition to the needs of Alaska said, in yesterday's news report: If the Federal Government ‘hopes to in- crease the population of the Territory through use of pubic funds for colonization and make it one of the outposts of defense in case of war, it should be making plans for development of roads and highways to connect the present population centers and provide others into the rich mining and timber areas. Fish Commissioner Frank T. Bell in discussing Alaska on his return to the national capital, had this to say: Given proper roads to its mining and agricultural areas, Alaska could be developed in ten years sufficiently to support twice | or three times its present population. If | the necessary roads are built to mining fields, | in all probability the intervening country will be settled by prospectors, farmers and trappers. ‘At the same time the Department of Interior| in citing the report of the American-Canadian joint | committee named to study the feasibility of the| International Hghway, points out that building of | the road in the Yukon Territory would not be dif- ficult nor expensive, and goes on to say the high- way could be kept open the year around for com-| mercial hauling and will be attractive to tourists| for at least seven months of the year | It will cest money to bring about these umversally: recognized improvements in Alaska, but the Terri- tory has paid back many times on the original investment, and, it will again if it can only be given help in tapping its now inaccessible resources. GLASS HOUSES AND STONE i THROWERS. | Denouncing “efforts to sell the people on the idea that the Democrats have never had a proper regard for the Constitution,” Congressman John W. Flannagan, Jr., of Virginia, suggested that “the record speak,” when, during the closing days of the last Congress, he pointed out that Republican Con- gresses passed 63 per cent of unconstitutional laws in 74 years, and the Democrats only 29 per cent in 146 years. “During our 146 years of national life,” he sum- marized from the record, “the Supreme Court has{‘ declared 67 acts of Congress unconstitutional. Only ! 20, or around 29 per cent, were passed by Demo- cratic Congresses. On the other hand, Republican Congresses, whom we are now told are the guard- ians of the Constitution, passed 42, or about 63 per cent, four were passed by a Republican Senate and Democratic House and one by the first Congress, which was non-partisan. (The Republican Party first gained control in 1861 or 74 years ago.) “Now that is a pretty good record, especially | when you consider the fact that we have had 33’ Democratic Congresses, 27 Republican Congresses, | one Whig Congress, one non-partisan and 12 Con-| gresses when Senate and House were controlled by‘ different parties.” i After citing all of the 67 laws which have been declared unconstitutional and the dates, the Virgin- ian continued: During the term of office of the greatest Republican President, the immortal Abra- ham Lincoln, when he had a Republican Senate and a Republican House, seven acts | were passed that were later declared uncon- stitutional by the Supreme Court. Theodore Roosevelt made a great Presi- dent in spite of the fact that his Consti- tutional record may frighten present-day self-appointed defenders of the Constitu- tion. During his administration, with a Republican Senate and a Republican House, six laws were passed which were declared unconstitutional by a Republican Supreme Court. In President Grant’s administration 10 unconstitutional acts were passed by Con- gress which were strongly Republican in both Benate and House and two others were de- clared unconstitutional that were passed by Congresses with a Republican Senate and a Democratic House. During General Grant's term alone a Re- publican Senate and a Republican House passed one-half as many unconstitutional acts as have every Democratic Senate an every Democratic House we have had since the birth of the Nation. { COMPLIMENTING THE SENATORS. The late Senator Huey P. Long once said that, *I don’t pay room rent in New York or almost any place I go,” and his assertion was borne out by the management of one of the New York hotels which de- clared it was always happy to compliment United States Senators because it is good business. The New York Times in commenting on the hotel's apparent desire to share its wealth with the late Senator makes this interesting point. If only the utility interests had thought® of it in time and made a practice of com- plimenting United States Senators on their gas and electric bills. Absorbed with its interesting subject the Times goes on to say: Opinion is bound to differ on the propriety of free hotel rent for high public officials, but there can be no difference of opinion about the loveliness of the verb “to com- pliment.” It is even more appealing than the beautiful words “to contact.” First you contact your United States Senator, then you compliment him with free lodgings. The thing is altogether sweet. It is, indeed, a lovely picture and it may be why some of the boys like to stay on and on “serving their country,” despite the “great personal sacrifice” we hear so much about around election time. Lloyd George predicts war within a week. As we recall it, back in 1917 there was some talk about a war to end war, and there was supposed to be solace in the thought, as you trudged ip the mud and muck, that you were doing your bit to make the world safe for something or other.

WHAT CONGRESS DID, 1935. ‘ The longest session of Congress since 1922 | has come to a close and a wide range of | important legislation was enacted into law. | In an effort to give a more thorough in- | sight into the various measures adopted, The E Empire is presenting a series of summaries of the major bills passed into law. THE BANKING ACT OF 1935 Approved August 23, 1935 | Seeks to provide for “sound, effective and un-| interrupted operation of the banking system” through| Bernard Stone, newspaperman, & amendment of the Federal Reserve Act, reorganiza- | tion of the Federal Reserve Board and technical| amendments of the banking laws, and by making Federal deposit insurance of bank deposits perma—} nent. Reorganizes the Federal Reserve Board into a President and each to have the title of “Governor” {and serve a fourteen-year term at $15000 salary. Changes the name of the Federal Reserve Board to the “Board of Governors cf the Federal Reserve | System.” The Secretary of the Treasury and the Controller of the Currency are eliminated from | membership, ex officio, on the board after February 1, 1936. The entire organization of the board is to be effected by that date. Creates a Federal Open Market Committee, ef- fective March 1, 1936, which shall consist of the seven members of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and five representatives of | the twelve regional Federal Reserve Banks, to be elected annually by designated regions, the com- mittee to have power to control credit fluctuations by purchasing and selling Government bonds, notes or other obligations of the United States on the| open market through the Reserve Banks. The Open Market Committee is to have charge of open mar- ket operations and the Reserve Banks must act in accordance with its instructions. Amerids Section 14 of the Federal Reserve Act |to make eligible for purchase by Federal Reserve Banks, without regard to maturities, direct obliga- | tions of the United States or obligations fully guar- anteed by the United States, but provides that such |direct and guaranteed obligations may be purchased‘ “only’ in the open market.” | Retains existing statutory requirements govern-: ing maintenance of reserves against deposits as a| further check on the use of bank funds for specu- | lation. Provides that, by a vote of not less than| four of the seven members of the Board of Gov-| ernors, the present requirements of 17, 10 and 134‘l Allows Reserve Banks to continue to propose | changes in rediscount rates, subject to board ap- proval, but requires such rates to be restated “every, fourteen days, or oftener if deemed necessary by the board.” Authorizes the President to designate one of t.heI act as its “chairman” and another to serve as “vice chairmdn,” each for four years; and gives the heads of the twelve Federal Reserve Banks the new title of “President” instead of “Governor” so as not to conflict with the new Reserve Board titles. The Presidents of the Federal Reserve Banks would be selected for five-year terms by the boards of di- rectors of the banks, subject to approval by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.| Permits national banking associations to make real estate loans secured by first liens upon im- proved real estate, including improved farm land and improved business and residential properties, up to 50 per cent of the appraised value of the real estate! offered as security, for a term of not over five years| except in cases of amortized loans, when 60 per cent may be loaned for a ten-year term. Forbids national | banking associations to make such loans in an| aggregate sum in excess of the capital and surplus| of the bank, or in excess of 60 per cent of its! time and savings deposits, whichever is the greater. | Broadens the eligibility requirements of paper upon which the Federal Reserve Banks may make loans. M | Makes permanent the temporary law’ g&\ng August 31, 1935, fully insuring bank deposits up to! $5,000 for a depositor. Provides that the annual| assessment on banks for insurance fund member- ship shall be one-twelfth of 1 per cent upon their average deposits liability. | Requires all State banks with deposits of $1,-| 000,000 or more to join the Federal Reserve by June. 1, 1942, if they desire to continue to have their| deposits insured. Permits non-member banks to terminate their insured status within thirty days of effective date| of the Banking Act of 1935 by giving written notice to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. | Provides that the total amount of the securities of one issuer or obligor held by a national banking association for its own account shall not exceed 10 per cent of the actually paid-in and unimpaired | capital stock and surplus fund, except that this provision shall not apply to lawful holdings as of | the effective date of*the Banking Act of 1935. E Requires the Secretary of the Treasury, when-| ever in the judgment of the diectors of the Fed- | eral Deposit Insurance Corporation additional funds are required for insurance purposes, to purchase | obligations of the corporation in an additional amount not exceeding $250,000,000 “I'm sorry, boys,” said the lobbyist to the Wash- ington bunch that had drifted in, “but there isn't| a drop in the house.’—(Detroit News.) i} rerreares, i SEPTEMBER 21, 1915 The Russian Army at Vilna es- caped from the trap set by Hin- | denburg.
