ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. PEOPLE WILL ENDORSE PROPOSED TAX CUT. The decision of President Hoover and Secretary Mellon to reduce taxes will meet with general ap- proval throughout the country. If there is criticism at all it will be that the $160,000,000 proposed cut ought to be increased. Experience has shown that former tax cuts could have been larger without endangering the functioning of the Government. It is well, of course, that the extra money has been applied to the payment of the National debt, which is billions smaller than it would have been if the income had been held down to the actual necessities and debt payments in accordance with the thirty-two-year schedule. Instead of paying off 'ed odd millions a year, as was agreed 1.ortly after the war as about right, there naid as high as eleven hundred millions fLgie year. Wulie there is no question but that the applica- o w surplus to the further reduction of the X Bl t was the wise and honest thing to do «an it, it has been contended that the payments have been so heavy that they not only permitted but encouraged stock gambling. It would have been better, probably, if there had been no surplus. However, watever may have been the mistakes, if any, in the past, there will be an enthusiastic response to the plan to cut taxes immediately, and to have the cut apply to 1929 incomes. It will have a tendency to prevent the stock debacle from af- fecting the general business of the country. In any sort of a crisis or moneétry stringency, money in the hands of those who made it is more serviceable than money in any other place. Prosperity has never been created by taxing more money out of the pockets of the people than is actually needed for economical government and for sane progress in public improvements. WHO KILLED COCK ROBIN? Who killed cock robin? Senator Caraway blamed the Administration for causing the collapse of stocks. Then Banker Kent declared the cause of the Wall Street debacle was the Insurgent Senators with whom Senator Caraway seems to have a work- ing agreement. Now comes Senator Borah. de- claring that hte Insurgent Senators and the Demo- crats are only seeking to get a fair deal for the farmers under the protective tariff policy and if that upset the Stock Exchange market, the latter ought to be investigated. NEW YORK TO HAVE 100-STORY BUILDING. According to an announcement in the New York Times the Empire State Building which is to be erected on the site of the old Waldorf Astoria Hotel will hold the honor of being the highest building in the world only a short time. The Empire State Bullding is to be 82 stories high, but the Metro- politan Life Insurance Company, the Times an- nouncement says, will erect a 100-story building fac- ing Madison Square and bounded on the other three sides by Fourth Avenue, Twenty-fourth and Twenty- fifth Streets. Plans for the building have already been prepared by Dan Everett Waid and Harvey ‘Wiley Corbett, the architects who also prepared the W [plans for the Empire State Building and many other great New York structures. The Metropolitan Life Building will !‘who!v block at its base and get smaller as it reaches |the top. It will have the appearance of a sharp {mountain crag, and will tower above the old Me Eropchtnn Building across the street and other scrapers in its vicinity. There will be several base- {ment stories in addition to the 100 stories above jthe street level. The building will house 30,000 | Metropolitan Life employees. cover a Some of these days perhaps an officer of the {law who shoots in the air to stop someone, who is charged with a minor offense and is trying to |ecape, will actually shoot in the air instead of ir |the fleeing suspect's back.

During the summer months the hospital boat, Martha Angeline, plies the Yukon River from the boundary of Yukon | Territory to St. Michaels, supplying medical, dental and nursing service to the natives who congregate | along that mighty stream to fish.

In the villages on the Bering Sea and on the| Arctic Ocean, hygiene is almost unknown. Many | dwellings are made of sod, to be entered through | low tunnels. Light filters through a membranous material obtained from seals, while the floors are covered with refuse. In mild weather moisture | drips from ceilings and walls. The occupants of | these hovels depend upon their clothing to keep | them warm; they have no artificial heat. In contrast with these squalid dwellings are the! log or frame houses, in the villages where Govern- ment workers are present. Frequently there is linoleum on the floor, comfortable beds, excellent ranges and heaters, and substantial furniture. The natives have been taught to dry their berries and to preserve their garden vegetables. Their diet of fish is augmented by reindeer meat and game.| Part of the work of the Government is to teach the backward natives the principles of sanitation | | and to make provision for the winter months. Whether the natives be progressive or backward they are given the best medical and dental service | obtainable. An indication of the scope of this professional work is found in the record for the season just closed. The dentists reported 4,070 cases treated, while the doctors gave surgical and medical attention to 3290. This work of the Office of Education is one of the few examples of efficiency in bureaucratic government. E. Grant McMicken Moves Up. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.)

This is the second call of that great concern upon Seattle shipping circles for high executive personnel, its President, Joseph E. Sheedy, having been a local shipping man. His long and distinguished service in Seattle bas drawn to Mr. McMicken a host of friends who, while they will regret the turn of events which takes him away, are greatly pleased that ! his outstanding abilities have brought him richly ' earned promotion. | PRGN 75 R | It strikes us, as we muse upon public opinlon,! that the one safe stock through the ages, past and | to come, is Band Wagon Common.—(New York | World.)

But for this merciful help it either of the children had ever seen. “We'll go right inside,” the Little Black Clock said. The leaves were piled high all ound the house and some of them were held in by strong old logs. At one side there was an opening and through this they all walked. “Anybody at home?” called the Little Black Clock. “Whew-whew-woo-weee—,” the answer. “Hello, November Wind.
