ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. EFFECT OF CHRISTMAS SHOPPIN The Cincinnati Enquirer said recently: Do your Christmas shopping early—and plentifully. It is generally conceded that the extent of the Christmas shopping throughout the countty will have a lot of influence on business conditions for the remainder of the winter. Big Christmas trad- ing would mean that large quantities of goods would go out of commerce and into the hands of ultimate consumers. It would mean that mer- chants would have money to refill their shelves and thereby start factories at work filling orders. Of course Christmas shopping has more effect on the towns where the shopping is done than elsewhere, but it is far reaching in its effects. A good Christmas with much shopping always is helpful to the morale of any town. It helps to create a Chrismas spirit, a spirit of satisfaction which in turn breeds optimism. Where the people have had a good Christmas they will have a good winter and enter the following spring with a will that will make things move. LIVING CHRISTMAS TREE GROWS IN POPULARITY. Living Christmas trees are proving popular in many communities, according to the Forest Service, United States Department of Agriculture. They have beem found suitable both for large outdoor celebrations, and for the family circle. A good tree on the lawn of the home adds to the beauty of the grounds and is a permanent improvement. It may also serve as a perennial Christmas tree, and save the expense of a new tree to be bought every year. Altheugh Christmas tree cutting can be done without injury to the forest if carried on under good forestry principles, a considerable portion of the present-day supply comes to the market as the result of promiscuous, destructive cutting, and in some cases vandalism. In some cases a young tree with the roots properly balled and packed in a box may be used indoors and later set out to beautify the grounds. If a permanent tree is chosen for planting, many varieties will be found suitable. Spruces, firs, pines, and cedars adapted to the locality usually give best results. MORE TAXPAYERS NEEDED. A recent editorial in the Seward Gateway con- tended that the burden of maintaining government im Alaska would be more easily borne if a larger percentage of the people paid taxes. That is not only true but it would develop a better interest the | wo should have this and that improvement because EMPIRS PRINTING COMPANY at Second and Main | ty | in government if it were the case. As long as the | cost of government is paid by a very few of the !people the tendency among the masses is to be {more or less indifferent to the extent of governmental |costs. How often have we heard it contended that it would cost the people a very little! “The can- neries will have to pay it,” is frequently the excuse |given for asking for an appropriation. This is an attitude that does not count for good |citizenship. All the people ought, as a matter of good business and fair play, to take an alert interest {in guarding public expenditures. It would encour- |age this course if all or practically all the people | were taxpayers. In spite of the efforts of Horace Mann, “Big Bill" Thompson, Senator Smith Wildman Brook- hart and Hiram, himself, the probabilities are that Senator Johnson threw away his only chance to become President of the United States when he refused to run for Vice-President on the ticket with then Senator Harding. Hoover’s Dixie leader of 1928 has turned on him and is trying to defeat him. A lot of people |thought Hoover was brewing a dangerous political mess when he went down there and tried to cap- ture the South. Let us all here and now highly resolve that (Prince Rupert News.) For nearly a month a number of men have |been kept at Cloyah Bay at the expense of the country but not engaged in any productive work. This is a mistake. The men would be better and happier working and the country would be getting something for the money expended. Another thing in connection with the camps \is that the men living there are penniless and in this weather suffer from lack of proper clothes. If they were working they would earn sufficient over and .above their board to pay for their clothes. | When the work was shut down no protest was made because it was thought that the condition was only temporary. Now it has come to a stage ‘where protest is necessary. A letter published today from the Unemployed Association sets forth the grievance of the men and is worthy of every con- sideration. While it is said by some that the men are |lucky to be well fed, as they are at present, it also Ibecomes necessary in this climate that suitable clothes should be provided. The old clothes wear out, even if the men are not working. It seems that this is the time for pressure to be brought to bear on the governments concerned to have the work on the highways in various parts of the country proceeded with instead of continuing |the present objectionable system. The men are tired of idleness and the taxpayers are tired of paying for something for which they get no return. Japan Expanding. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Civilian influence does not control the destinies of Japan. That force lies with Japanese mili- tarists, answerable to the Emperor only. This is the influence to be reckoned with. This power has penetrated Korea, and now Manchuria, It aims to enforce expansion. It needs room and means to have it. It wants the coal and iron of Manchuria —must have it if Japan is to continue as a world power. Apparently, despite universal protest, Japan {means to have them through force of arms and not through arbitral agreement. An Army-Navy charity game in New York on December 12!
