SKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER AL HAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. THE TRADE-AT-HOME CAMPAIGN. There is evidence aplenty that the trade-at- home campaign that has been conducted in Juneau during recent months, with the co-operation of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce and local business men, has borne fruit. The house to house can- vassers who have come to the town, selling from samples, have felt the effect of it and so have the local business houses. It has been a worth- while campaign and one that should be continued until the end. Juneau has the finest sort of prospects for the future. Indications abound that a greater forward movement than the town has experienced for a de- cade-and-a-half is near at hand, and that it wil never stop is clearly apparent. The one absolutely necessary thing to make this one of the very best cities on the Pacific Coast is the co-operation of all the people—and that includes the need for trading at home. Let the people of this community stand together firmly and keep all the money here that is possible and there will be local funds for local investment in industries and building development. Nothing will do. more to attract outside capital than for the people who are here to build up ‘a solid and populous city by community loyalty and co-operation. It would inspire confidence that would bring people to live here and capital for invest- ment. Keep up the trade-at-home campaign and it| will be successful A little while under a 100 per cent. trade-at-home policy and we shall have a| people that will not want to trade anywhere else. The Chamber of Commerce never did a finer thing for Juneau than when it sponsored this movement. NEED FOR AIR MAIL SERVICE. One of the immediate needs of Alaska is an air- mail service between Juneau and way points and Seattle. The operations of the Alaska-Washington Airways in Southeast Alaska during the present season has demonstrated the practicability of such a service. It has proved that there would be large patronage for the air mails and that a Government contract would add to the usefulness to the public of regular operating air lines. Experience has demonstrated beyond dispute the value of air mails in the States and there is more need, per capita at least, for fast mails in Alaska than there. We have not the two or more fast trains a day up here. Our mail must wait for steamships that at times in the year are usually several days apart. A one day flight with mail daily, or even three times a week, between Juneau and Seattle would facilitate business immensely. THE TARIFF A LOCAL ISS! ‘The dispatches tell us that the Senate Finance Committee has decided to eliminate the tariff placed on logs, lumber and shingles by the House of Rep- resentatives. The House put a tariff on these items under pressure from Washington, Oregon, some of the Southern States and other sections of the country where people and capital are employed in the timber. The Senate is impelled to its action by pressure from the prairie States and else- where that people are interested in cheaper materials for building purposes and from those interested in holding the Canadian trade for the United States. It would be difficult to find a better illustration of the truth of Gen. Hancock's statement that the tariff is a local issue. It has been nearly fifty years since Gen. Hancock’s declaration cost him the Presi- dency. From a political viewpoint 1880 was a Demo- cratic year. The Democrats had swept the elec- tions in 1874, 1876 and 1878. They had been cheated out of the Presidency in 1876 by the seating of Hayes in spite of the circumstance that Tilden had been elected by a decisive plurality of the people. Thousands of Republicans realized the injustice of the cheating and were ready to make amends by voting Democratic in 1880. They would undoubtedly have elected Tilden that year by a tremendous majority if the .Democrats had possessed enough political sense to have nominated him. - But the Cincinnati convention accepted his word, too readily many people thought, that he did not want the nomination and gave it to Winfield Scott Hancock, one of the most popular, capable and suc- eessful of the Union Civil War Generals. He seem- ed to be a sure winner. Then, in one of his fortright discussions of the issues, he bluntly said ists or Free Traders of his time. The circumstance that both Democrats and Republicans of the tim- ber sections will be disappointed in the decision in favor of free logs, lumber and shingles, while both Democrats and Republicans of the prairie States will approve is evidence in favor of the hero of Gettysburg. Speaking of Gov. Roosevelt as a probable candi- date for President Will Rogers says “there is a fine man.” Continuing he says the Democrats “have had some of the finest men for candidates that we have in this country, and it's almost a shame that they are to be etrenally handicapped by being ‘right but never President.” Just another way of saying that there are a lot more Republicans in the country than Democrats but oughtn't to be. Perhaps *Mr. Rogers is a Democrat, While Edison is trying to choose a successor he has made it plain that he will stick around for a while and tell and show the one chosen a few things. Taxing the Stock Markets. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The proposal of Senator Carter Glass to levy a tax of 5 per cent. on all security transactions where stocks are held less than sixty days presents an interesting problem. The entire object of the pro- posed tax would be to penalize those speculators on the security exchanges who are inclined to gamble rather than invest. Sixty days, of course, is a convenient, arbitrary distinction between long- time investment and mere speculation on rapid fluc- tuations in market values. If the tax which Senator Glass proposes would actually do all that is claimed for it, the scheme would be worth serious consid- eration, despite its large cost to buyers of securities, in the course of a year. But it is not at all clear that the results would be what the Senator wishes. The sale of securities less than 60 days after their purchase may in some casges follow from a conservative policy of invest- ment, and, on the contrary, pure speculation may require holding stocks longer than 60 days. In such cases as these, the Glass proposal would precisely defeat its own end. Furthermore, the relation of the stock markets to the money markets—the basis for the Glass proposal—changes from year to year. At one time the security markets may be diverting funds from industry and causing a measure of in- flation, while at the other times they may be serving a most useful purpose in equalizing the distribution | of available funds into the proper channels of in- vestment, A law of Congress on this point would be hard and fast, and would make no allowances for such changes in the actual function of the security mar- kets. Thus it would at times serve as a heavy tax on one of the important elements in the business mechanism. If revenue is wanted, the present very light tax on security sales could be raised, but revenue is not apparently the object of the proposed legislation. It is not likely that Congress will give serious consideration to the Glass proposal, and it is not desirable that it should, for the present. If a full investigation of actual operations on the security markets should prove--after the speculative mania of the past two years is over—that a tax would really curb the diversion of funds into this type of inflation, then Congressional consideration will be welcome. But to enact such a tax into law on the spur of the moment would be unwise and per- | haps disastrous. Going Up Into the Heavies. (New York World.) Mr. Tommy Loughran, having successfully de- fended his title against Mr. James J. Braddock, has announced that he is no longer a light heavy- weight, but has become a heavyweight. And it will be interesting to see what comes of this. On the basis of the records, in spite of the belief that a good little man cannot beat a good big man, the odds are in his favor. One of the first light heavyweights to decide that he would become a heavyweight was Robert Fitz- simmons. And Fitzsimmons demonstrated that if the good little man be goon enough, he can lick all the good big men in sight. He became champion. Passing over Jack Root, who seems to have been a sort of light heavyweight champion and who later claimed the heavyweight title on the basis of Jef- {ries “giving” it to him, the next important light heavyweight to become a heavyweight was Gene Tunney. He was never credited with being light heavyweight champion, but he fought as a light heavyweigt for some years and defeated some of the best men in the class. When he became a heavyweight he gave a pretty good account of him- self and, like Fitzsimmons, became champion. The last to make the change was Jack Delaney. But here something went ‘wrong. In spite of his skil a boxer and a very hard punch he never did after he began to meet the big fellows. did not have the strength to fight he: posibly he was past his prime. At any rate, he gave a most indifferent account of himself vand lately has almost completely dropped out of sight. What is in store for Loughran, then, remains to be seen. It is certain, though, that he greatly com- Plicates a situation that had begun to clear. Schmel- ing, after a year of eliminations, had en;erged as the leading contender for the title. But whether he can beat Loughran few would care to say. With Loughran fighting at his natural weight, ti'xe two are not far apart in the matter of size; 'nnd whil Schmeling undoubtedly has the hup ; Loughran is probably by far the better beger.” " quite possible that the title, ol when it is awarded, will remain in the United States ntt::‘ n;:ly 1 as much Possibly he avyweights; — T Shipment of Silk, et il (Prince Rupert News.)

His opponents were quick to say this talk proved that he was ignorant about economic questions, and times were too prosperous for people to take chances with an ignorant execu- tive, so Gen. Garfield won the Presidency by a narrow margin. However, the half century that has passed under the bridge since that famous campaign demonstrates that Gen. Hancock was far more than half right— nearer right probably than either the Protection- ping and that eventually here that will be one of world. a big city will pe buil t the big seaports of the : Among the unheralded benefits of the radio we ought not to overlook the country-wide training it is giving men in maki ten minutes.—(Boston ;{-‘:u:.)len-mlnute Sddra 1o Tell A Bigger One If You Can Oh, every Monday morning I Awake in a most joyful mood, And am so crazy to get back to work, I don't e'en stop for breakfast food.

Married Life in 1929 Friend: “But won't it make your wife sore to take me out to dinner unannounced?” Me: “Heck, why should it? Tl stop at the delicatessen and pick up our dinner and we may be all through before she gets in from the card club.” More or Less True The honeymoon tunes out when he begins to give her the impres- sion he's glad they're married so he can quit spending money on her. The only reason many a flapper isn't going around with the whites of her eyes painted green and the iris a gorgeous red is because the eyes are one part of the female of the species ‘Nature has made it im- possible to ruin that way. If a man always refers to his wife as mother it usually means she has been a darn good wife and he's reached the age where he begins to appreciate the way she's kept him from making a fool of him- self. Some brides can hardly wait for the honeymoon to check out so they can quit handing out baloney and start in telling the poor fish what they really think of them. The only difference between some women getting ready for a bath and for an evening party is that they don't take off quite all when they are getting ready for the party. Persons who are unsuited to each other ought not to marry, but the heck of it is getting married is the only way a good many of them can find out they're not. A girl may be as pretty as a pic- ture, but that won't make a man happy if she isn’t any more capable of getting meals and darning socks than the picture is. Father gets sore because son thinks there always is room in his roadster for one more flapper, and mother gets sore because father thinks there always is room in the ash tray for one more cigar butt, The only thing that puts daugh- ter in as bad a humor as having to help with a sinkfull of dishes is spending an evening with a tight- wad boy friend.
