The Associated Press Is exclusively entitled to the use for republication of all news dispatches credited to local news published herein ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION SOMETHING ABOUT OUR INDUSTRIES AND CO-OPERATION. The Chamber of Commerce did a fitting thing and did it well when it devoted a session to the three industries in Juneau that best represented mining, fishing and lumbering in this community. Presi- dent Allen Shattuck did not over-state the case when he declared that these ind ies form “backbone” of this community and make prosperous. In acknowledging their vital importance and the duty of the Chamber to stimulate them he’ but stated a simple truth. That ought to be done, and the best way in the world to stimulate them, in addition to protecting them ifrom imposition, is to patronize the local sawmill in buying lumber, to eat Juneau fish and to encour- age in every possible way the Alaska Juneau mine in its operations and in its plans for expansion. And that suggests another thought that ought never to be forgotten. Juneau should patronize all local industries and local stores and other local concerns wherever that is possible. Mr. Faulkner very appropriately remindad the Chamber of Com- merce that the Juneau Lumber Mills ought always to be given an opportunity to submit figures when there is demand for those things which it produces. That might be carried further with advantage to the community. When one needs anything he ought first to consult with local procucers and dealers and examine local stocks before rushing orders to mail order houses. People will find it the most profitable thing to do. There are large and modern stocks of goods ‘in Juneau where articles may be examined and where the good faith of some re- sponsible person or firm is behind each sale. And if one cannot find what he wants ‘hera it. would be better for him to have the local dealer do the ordering than to trust to luck with a catalogue and a mail order. foll, If Juneau is to be a large and prosperous town, the people of the community must stand together and co-operate. All the people, those engaged in different lines of business and those who work for wage, are in the same boat. By co-operating, by letting one hand wash the other, there will be con- stant and rapid progress. Otherwise there will be more or less stagnation. That would be tough for the workmen as well as business men. THE During the recent primary campaign a good many ghosts were hatched to scare the voters away from the “Democratic machine,” but they did not get far away from the nest where the hatching occurred. At this time when no votes are to be made or lost is 3 good time to say that the Democratic organi- zation in Alaska is'not a “machine” in the sense “MACHINE.” the | Juneau | that term is usually applied. “Machines,” as that word is usually used, are organized for selfish pur- poses to serve the members. That has not been true with the Democratic organization in Alaska. The Democratic organization is composed of men who know and have confidence in each other. They reap no r rds except the satisfaction of feeling that 'lhe} are serving their Territory and their party. They spend their own money and devote their time and effort to that end. Some of those who referred to the “machine” in deprecatory terms during the recent campaign have been supported by it in more than one cam- paign, and they know that it was done whole heartedly and without request or promise of reward. It was done cleanly, just as the organization has always been clean and honorable in all things. The Democratic organization has steered a clean and straight course. It has not traded or sought rade with any blocs of voters. It has not made promises of office or profit in order to win votes. It has stood always and under all circumstances for a square deal and for what it believed to be for the best interest of the Territory and its party. to Many admirers of Senator John H. Bankhead of Alabama sighed with relief when the Senate voted 64 to 18 in favor of his retaining his seat. While { most of them, no doubt, belicved from the beginning | that he would win, they are glad to have the matter over and to be rid once and for all of Tom Heflin. We still have the clean-up and paint-up cam- paign to take care of. There should be no contest in that. The only rivalry ought to be to see who can do the most to make it effective, $840,000,000. (New York World-Telegram.) In England in 1930 the revenue from taxes on alcoholic beverage was $628,856,544, which equalled over 19 per cent. of the total revenuss. This was from a popula- tion of approximately 45,000,000. Seventeen States in this country, with a population of 60,204,769, do not have any form of State Prohibition. It probably is a conservative estimate that a revenue of | $840,000,000 might be collected from these States alone. That's plain dollars-and-cents argument for im- |mediate modification of the Volstead Act and {prompt action toward repeal of the Eighteenth | Amendment. { It is part of the report of the Executive Com- [mittee of the New ‘York State Chamber of Com- {merce, headed by James S. McCulloh, President {of the New York Telephone Company. The re- iport was accepted this week by a practically unani- {mous vote of the Chamber and will be sent to ‘lolher Chambers of Commerce throughout the coun- |~ This is in line with the recent action of the San (Francisco Chamber of Commerce and shows what ‘level-headed American business men think about the present Prohibition law as related to the Nation's {formidable tax problem. | Meanwhile Dr! Clarence True Wilson, General Secretary of the Methodist Board of Temperance, ! Prohibition and Public Morals, scolds those who have profited from ths benefits of Prohibition for their laxity in contributing to the dry cause. ! Maybe the bootleggers will jump to his aid. They have profited most from Prohibition. Would Dr. Wilson spurn their money? \ Prohibition law ardently supported by those who wax rich from violating it! Shall we sink even to that hypocrisy? { It is time Uncle Sam put an end to the costly y. Let him lgealize and regulate a traffic that fan- ,aticism has only made morally worse. ! Let him collect a just revenue from it and relieve us of needless tax loads. | An Alaskan Vacation. | (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) 7 | Railroads and the Alaska Steamship Company are combining to carry on an extensive cam- {paign to stimulate travel to Uncle San's treasure ,house of the North. The best part of the an- ,nouncement is that planned publicity is likely to be sustained for several years. Americans should see America first, and there is no more interesting part of America than the vast territory lying astride the Arctic Circle. A trip there, which includes a sea voyage, offers variety and scenic appeal not to be exceeded anywhere else on earth. Alaskan tourist publicity should be carefully studied before the summer's vacation plans are made. | pOLITICSaz,‘Rdfldm?Z By BYRON PRICE ed this procedure, so revolutionary for a Tammany leader, just for the purpose of hbeing hospitable and clubby.

Roosevelt, Governor of the state and for four years tilular head of the state organi- zation, is the outstanding candi- date for the party’s nomination for President. Alfred S. Smith, idol of millions of his fellow-New Yorkers for a decade, is a receptive candidate for President, regarded generally as the spearhead of a “Stop- Rocsevelt” movement. In at least a half dozen states the Smith and Roosevelt factions are at each other’s throats, bat- tling for delegates. Their home stcte has the biggest delegate strength of the whole number need- ed to nominate. Yet what happened when the sovereign Democratic vofers of New York registered their will at a primary election? In virtually every district, delegates who put on poker faces and made no pub- lic pledges were elected without opposition. And when it was over the sovereign voters had not the shightest idea who, if anybody, had won. The delegation, thus in sweet harmony credentialed, not only is c¢laimed now for both Smith and Rousevelt, but it is claimed for tive or six outsiders. This is against nature. From the standpoint of practical poli- ties it is almost unbelievable. The cnly possible conclusion s that | While their partisans (outside New York state) are locked in desper- ate warfare, they confer together, agree on public issues, and speak no harsh word, one against the oiher. Next comes Roosevelt's relation- ship with Tammany. He has ous- ted a Tammany sheriff, has re-| 1used to oust two others, been praised for “defying” the tradi- onal bosses of the metropolis, [ana denounced for *truckling” to hose bossss. These is the question of Smith's relationship to Tammany. He is A member of Tammany Hall, and never has renounced his allegiance ito ‘it; but the evidence has been plain that some internal disagree- ment has placed him outside the Hall's ruling faction. When the three-way complica- tion is considered, is it likely that celegates could be chosen unani- {mously all over the state, unless| therc was some sort of under- standing beforehand where they stood? A week before the primary John | |F. Curry, the leader of Tammany | Hall, made a trip to Washington ) jand did an extraordinary thing. He sent out word that he would be at home to newspapermen, and for a half hour answered ques-| tions, No one.suoposes that he adopt- candidate right up to the conven- tion. That he might decide not to support either Smith or Roose- velt. Keading between the lines, poli- ticians drew devious inferences from these Cwrry messages. Some say they saw a warning to Roosevelt to handle Tammany with gloves if he wanted the support of his own state. Some saw a confir- mation of their belief that Tam- many was not with Smith. The disposition of the favorite sons was to take heart. But does anyone really know what it is about? GUESSES, MAYBE Political observers hear a lot of theories about this New York sitvation, from men who should know their political strategy. The trouble is they don't come witkin gunshot of agreeing. Poli- ticians are a proud lot and, like cverybody else, when they don’t know they sometimes guess. Daily Empire Want Ads Pay | LUDWIG NELSON | i JEWELER } ‘Watch Repairing Brunswick Agency | !

Three places—David would come. Perhaps he’d had some word from the publishers. When she heard a step on the stairs she ran to open the door. “David, have you heard?” He laughed at her eagerness. He drew a long breath. “Say, this ig cool here!” “Oh, David, Have you heard?” He ook a yellow slip of paper f:em his pocket and put it in her hand. *‘Little Lady' is all that we ex- pected. We are in luck.” She read, the telegram aloud. “Oh, David, I'm so glad. But I knew it was good.” “Well, that's that. What have you been doing today?” He was regarding her with close anxiety. Her face, thinner now, was colorless, her eyes, with their soker, hurt look, seemed wider, deeper set and the long lashes made little shadows against the transparency of her cheeks. Her steady smile stabbed David's heart. “Oh, I'm fine! T've stayed in all day. and it hasnt been bad here Ong The sure way to get fast.
