_The Presidential message bulg
ing with recommendations, chang
es and improvements in function
ing federal departments, was sub
mitted to Congress bv President

Union.
A score of other proposals were
contained in the 12,000 word
document which the Chief Ex
ecutive sent to both houses for
reading in which he gave an ac
count of Ms nine months stew
ardship of the White House.
CANNOT CONCEAL TRUTH
Calling for cooperation from
the average citizen in making
statutes^ effective, the President
said that the attitude of the man
who selects particular laws tc
obey “may obscure but cannot
conceal the ugly truth that he
is a lawbreaker, who ever he
may be, and is an enemy of so
ciety.”
i no irresident stood squareij
on tlu position he took at the
opening of the special session oJ
•Cong: err, when he asked that
tariff ;• .tes beneficial to agricul
ture and industries, which have
not been prosperous, and put
into official language his known
desire! of one per cent reduction
from individual incomes and
corporation taxes, and once again
asked for a broad principle and
a flexible tariff by which the Ex
ecutive may order rate changes
That upon his recommendation
the tariff commission be retain
ed, The Senate voted that this
power should lodge in Congress
Among the President’s manj
suggestions was the one that the
major prohibition enforcement ac
tivities be transferred from the
treasury to the justice depart
ment.

SOUTHEASTERN ALASKA MINES
DISTRICT DESTINED BE
COME GREATEST
SEATTLE, Dec., 4, (/P)—'The out
look for mining properties in j
Alaska and the Canadian north- j
west are brighter than for years
past, Frederick W. Bradley, pres
ident of the American Institute
of Mining metallurgy, said after
his arrival here for a tour of the
Orient.
“The development of the Alas
ka Juneau, the Treadwell and
Yukon mines, are progressing at
a rapid rate. The Alaska Juneau
showed a profit of $173,000 for Oc
tober, and that district is des
tined to become one of the fore
most mining districts on the
American continent,” Bradley de
clared.
The proposed trunk highway
from Seattle to Fairbanks is an
excellent idea, he said, and would
open an immense mineralized
country and the development
would well repay the Canadian
.and mneiicajh governments,* by
the resources such a road will
tap.

FRIEDERSCHAPEN, Germany, j
Dec., 4, (IP)—The proposed Polar j
flight of the dirigible Graf Zep- j
pelin has again run into diffi- |
culties in the refusal of insurance '
companies here to underwrite it. j
Although the question of in- i
sufance had come up previusly, "
Dr. Hugo Ekener, commander of

was sure he could obtain insur
ance for the trip but apparently
he lias been liable to accomplish
his thus far. m
LOWER TRIBUNAL DEPRIVED
PAUL CONSTITUTIONAL
LIBERTY
SAN FRANCIS CO, Dec., 4, (/P)—
The United States Circuit Court
of Apnea Is reversed the order of
the dstrict court, in the First
Division of Alaska, which ad
-h’-tv'i William L. Paul, Ketchi
kan attorney, guilty of contempt
of court on two counts.
.'Voting on the anneal of Paul,
the Circuit Court held that the
lower tribunal deprived him f
his constitutional liberty and
property without due process of
law on the first count, that of
charging Paul with making un
true statements in a petition for
a writ of review filed with Judge
Justin W. Harding, in benalf of
his client.
Paul was sentenced to serve
35 days in jail or pay a fine of
$75. The second count involved
statements also alleged to have
been untrue. An affidavit of pre
judice was filed with the same
judge and for this Paul was or
dered to pay a fine of $100 or
serve 50 days in jail.
“It certainly would be an in
novation of law,” the opinion
handed down by the Circuit Court
pointed out, “if an attorney was
summarily punished for con
tempt whenever a statement made
by him, in behalf of his client,
and after an investigation, turn
ed out to be untrue.”
