MEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS
WHEN LAWYERS FORGET PRECEDENT
A poll of the American Bar Association shows its
members opposed to President Roosevelt’s Supreme
Court reform plan by a majority of 8 to 1.
As we recall, an unofficial poll of members of the
bar prior to last November’s election showed those mem
bers opposed to Mr. Roosevelt and the New Deal—by
a majority of about 8 to 1.
It may be argued that this merely proves that the
Bar Association is consistent. But does it prove that?
Senator Pat McCarran, of Nevada- points out that
back in 1921 the Bar Association advocated increasing
the number of Supreme Court Justices to 11. But- as
McCarran notes:
“The association may have had more confidence in
the Administration in power at that time, since Warren
Harding was President, and Harry Daugherty was At
torney General.”—Philadelphia Record.
Royal modesty—The Duke of Windsor is now living
in a modest villa which is costing $1,500 less that the
monthly rental of Enzesfeld Castle, where he had been
residing.
PUBLIC SERVICE
Every now and then it has to be proven that news-j
paper reporters are part of the well known general pub
lie just as officials who sometimes attempt to raise bar
riers against them. The most recent incident occurred
in Florida where Miami city officials had denied news
paper representatives the right of looking over public
records.
The Miami Beach Publishing Company took the
question to court and the state’s Supreme tribunal, of
course, held that newspaper representatives have^the
right to view public r&cords just as do all citizens.
It is an unfortunate human failing that some of us
on accasion get bloated with our own importance. Ele
vated to public office some have a tendency to assume
that it is a writ for private glory. Then a case such as
the Miami one comes along to revive the old fact that
public office is simply public service and that records
of public offices are the property of the general public
and not of the individual in whose charge they happen5
to be.—Juneau Daily Empire.

Annual Taxes
QUESTION: IVhat does a stable market for Alaska s Canned
Salmon mean for our school children f
ANSWER: Alaska’s schools are high in educational standards—their
graduates are accepted without examination by leading American
universities. To maintain these high standards the Territorial
Treasury spends more than a half million dollars a year. Alaska’s
Canned Salmon Industry pays more than 70% of the taxes collected
by the Territorial Treasury. In addition, the Industry pays taxes to
the Federal government, a large portion of which are returned to
incorporated towns of the Territory and used for school purposes. A
stable market for Alaska’s Canned Salmon will enable the Industry to
continue its annual tax payments of more than $1,000,000—a large
part of which goes to the support of Alaska’s educational system.

Basketball Game
Friday’s evening's game, in
which the High School Girls tairvg
led with the Married Women.was
rsa'ly a humdinger. Both teams
were fighting hard asd the score
see awed back and forth con
stantly. providing Alme pretty
tense moments. However, in the
ast quarted. fine shooting on the
part of Alice Martin and Beatrice
Lee netted a three point lead for
the High School, which looked
very slim when Mrs. Whaley of
the Married Women sank anoth
er basket. The Huskiettes, by
desperate guarding, held the Wo
men scoreless, and the timer's
whistle ended one of the most
exciting struggles seen on the
floor here this year. Mrs. Elms
proved her versatility by playing
aimost every position on the
floor, while Mrs. Whaley was al
ways a threat near the besket.
Beatrice Lee was outstanding for
the High School. The next bas
ketball games will be Mondays
and Fridays, hereafter.
