NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT. For the next ten years the figures that will represent the population of Juneau and Alaska this | month will be taken into account by those con- templating investing, by manufacturers and whole- salers in their treatment of Al by Congress and Bureaus in the allotment of funds, by pros-| pective immigrants and many others whom we would like to e think well of the country. The Fed- | eral census enumeration every ten years is a very important work in this country, and in no part of | it is it more important than it is in Alaska where | at best the population is small. | Let Juneau sce that she gets a full and correct count of every person who hails from this town. | This is not meant as a reflection upon the | enumerators. There are not enough of them to| get everybody. No set of enumerators could find' them all without the co-operation of the people. And now is the time to act. If the enumeration | is not complete now we shall suffer on account “Ii it for ten year i CONFIDENCE. An eminent newspaper writer thinks the Russian | round-the-world fliers are making it clear that | people ought to have enough confidence in the | capacity of Soviet Russia to buy its bonds He | thinks they have proved that Soviet-bonds are safer | than those of the Empire or the Kerensky Gov- ernment that were sold in this country. The authority does not anything about the circumstance that the Soviet repudiated the debts of the Empire and the Kerensky governments, and in so doing it did not inspire confidence in its purpose to pay its own bonds when .uey become due. Repudiation and repudiators do not inspire confidence among those with money to lend. GOV. SAMPSON NOT GUILTY. Gov. Sampson of Kentucky has been acquitted of bribery charges that were based on the fact that he accepted as gifts some text books that were| first given him, as a member of the board or commission that adopts the public school text books, for examination. The Court directed the verdict of not guilty when the evidence against him was presented. Judge Williams would not waste the time of the Court or the State's money by per- mitting the distinguished prisoner to submit tes- | timony. The strange thing about the whole proceeding is that a Grand Jury would present an indictment under the circumstances. It was a trivial matter for such a rumpus. MAYBE FORD WANTS ANOTHER BILLIO The circumstance that he did not spend his money while young but kept it and allowed it to aid him in becoming a billionaire does not add weight to Henry Ford's advice to young people to 1on of 4 news dispatches credited to | k |may be safely pledged. {the Governor's daughter. is a suspicion that Henry wants the youthful to ]s;wn(! their earnings while they are yet youthful | with the hope that they will exchange a consid- |erable portion of it for flivvers and thus enable him to make another billion or so. | Perhaps the National contest to determine the beautiful radio artist was in preparation for expected television development. most the What with surgeons and law suits Gene Tunney has discovered that he did not sacrifice publicity when he retired from the prize ring. If you know of a Juneau resident who is not in| town let the census enumerators know about it once. at| Yukon-Alaska Highway. * (Seattle Times.) | Premier Tolmie of British Columbia will have | all the support than can be given from this side ‘of the line for his magnificent project of extend- | the Pacific Highway to Dawson, Yukon Terri-| In a statement to the press he expresses the wish for American cooperation. It is not clear hw\‘ we can aid in Canadian road building; but when| it comes to the matter of meeting Premier Tolmie's highway at Dawson with a road passing through the heart of Alaska, we can be right there. | The proposal to construct a road that will enablc the motorist to travel from Tia Juana, Mexico, to the middle of the great North country dazzles the imagination. Only those who have traversed the wild, undeveloped North, ascended its streams or viewed it from airplanes, can realize the difficulties to be overcome, yet Premier Tolmie, who is a| practical man, believes that such a road can be| built, and is now planning with his engineers to| fly over the route. J 5 | Although the highway extension will bring some of the finest scenery on the continent within the | view of tourists, it will not be primarily a route | for sightseers or holiday trippers. It will aid mater- ially in the development of a country fabulously rich in minerals and timber. Its resources in po- | tential water power amount nearly to 8,000,000 horsepower. Millions of acres of tillable land would | be brought within striking distances of mnrkets.' Undoubtedly Premier Tolmie has a splendid vision | of the future of British Columbia. ’ The Premier’'s description of that noble road | has fired the enthusiasm of the people of Wash- | ington, They cannot, of course, help build roads! in another country, but they can make strong ppeal to Congress for such action as may be necessary to extend the road into Alaska. Ordi-; narily it would be hazardous to speak for Congress, | but in such a grand undertaking its cooperation Clever Propaganda. (F. P. A. in New York World.) Another propagandist is Miss Florence Trumbull, | The nieghbors gave her a shower of kitchen utensils the other night, and| Miss Trumbull said thirty-two guests had attended | the shower, adding—and the A. P. said ‘“humor- ously,” so there will probably be no investigation— | “None of them brought any electrical kitchen ap-| pliances manufactured by my father” Will that | send the Hartford housewives down to Trumbull's | to buy a refrigerator, or an electric iron, or a per-| colator? It would send us, and even if it wouldn't, | {it is all part of the propaganda to make this coun- | try electric-minded. | Is the Tariff Fair to Farmers? ‘ The avowed purpose of the proposed limited tar- iff revision as promised to the farmers by the Ad- ministration was to put agriculture on a basis of parity with industry. Far from doing this, however, the proposed tariff is really a bill for further pro- tection to industry that will increase the price of practically everything the farmer has to buy far beyond any benefit he will receive. As Gov. Christianson points out, “while it may be true that it is more blessed to give than to re- ceive, it is hard to make a farmer accept the doc- trine with all its implications, political and econ- omic, when his name is on the delinquent tax list and a notice of foreclosure on his farm is being published in the home-town newspaper.” “If liquor should ever return to the United States,” says Henry Ford, “I would quit manufact- uring.” Meanwhile, news dispatches from England state that erection of Mr. Ford's Great Britain plant is being rushed with amazing alacrity.—(Seattle Post- Intelligencer.) There are now more airplanes in this country than there were automobiles in 1900 and if the rate of increase is the same—oh, well, what's the use?— (Indianapolis News.) It yvould be all right to put automobiles on the free list, but we would suggest a little more pro- disburse their earnings while they are young.
