CIRCULATIQN : GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKA THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. —— A NINE-POINT PROGRAM. Former Senator J. R. Heckman, whose suggested fisheries program was recently endorsed by the Chambers of Commerce of Ketchikan and Juneau, in a letter sent various salmon packers, answered what he termed a query often propounded to him by them: “What do you expect us to do to relieve the situation?” He proposed a nine-point program as follows: “1. Use your best efforts to have the fishing regulations changed so as to be fair to the seiners. “2. Purchase one-third of your salmon boxes in Alaska, this giving several hundred men a few month’s work. This may cost a little more, but will pay in the long run The trade Will take them in wooden boxes if they can't get the fiber box. “3. Purchase your wire netting in Al- aska, made by all Alaska labor, which you can get at a competitive price and lose no money. “4, Place part of your insurance with Alaska insurance agents, for they can write it -as cheaply as they can in Seattle. “5. Employ as much cannery labor in Alaska as possible, paying a living wage; this applies also to captains, engineers, cooks, deckhands, etc., but few of the can- neries do this. “The Alaska Pacific Salmon Company em- ployed all local labor in Ketchikan, and paid a living wage, and packed 100,000 cases at a much lower cost than the Seattle contract labor would have cost them. 46. Patronize our marine ways in Alaska, as does the Alaska Pacific Salmon Com- pany. “7. Pay off your Alaska help with checks drawn on Alaska banks. “g. Bring to Alaska a liberal amount of cotton seine nets, and furnish same to the local fishermen, and buy their fish. In the last two years they have used up their old nets trying to make enough to live on. They are unable to buy more now, and are down and out. “9, Should you run short of a keg of nails, a steam valve, a coil of rope, etc, don't wire to Seattle for it but purchase same from some one of the local stores.” There is nothing vadical about Mr. Heckman's proposals. Nor is there any point in the program that hasn't been suggested to the packing interests for many years past. Some of the individual com- panies have put most if not all of it into effect. But the canning industry in a general sense has failed to adopt it. For its own best interests as well as to the welfare of the Territory, upon whose resources it depends wholly for continued existence, it should accept the nine points and live up to them fully. HAWES MAKES KINDLY GESTURE. Harry B. Hawes, Democratic Senator from Mis- souri whose term expires next March 4, made a most kindly gesture recently when he resigned in order that his successor, Bennett C. Clark, son of the great wartime Speaker of the House, the noted Champ Clark, might get a brief experience in the Senate before his regular term begins on March 4. Senator Hawes resigned effective February 3, after he was informed Gov. Park would appoint Bennett as his successor. This enabled Hawes to carry out a decision made two years ago to retire from the Senate. He merely awaited the election and advent of a Democratic Governor of Missouri so that he would be certain that a Democrat would succeed him in Congress. He served 12 years in the National law-making body, half of it in the House of Representatives and closes his legislative career at the age of 64 He has been a leader of movements and in initiating legislation for protection of wild life, and in recogni~ tion of his deep interest of that subject he was made Chairman of the Special Senate Committee on Wild Life Resources. He will continue his con- servation activities, remaining in Washington as national representative for three or four game and fish conservation organizations. His last and hardest figh{ in Congress came to a successful termination late last month when the Senate passed, over the veto of President Hoover, the Hawes resolution for Philippine Independence. LIVING COSTS LOWER. During the last six months of 1932, living costs declined 2.7 per cent., according to surveys made by the Federal Bureau of Statistics. The cost of living in December was 7.2 per cent. lower than it was in 1917, but was still 321 per cent. in excess of what it was in 1913. Food, however, was an uéepum. It was 1.3 per cent. lower last December ‘. jamendment to the Constitution last year. It was 7.7 per cents below the, first six months. Food was 1.4 per cent. less; clothing 49 per cent.; house-furnishing goods 39 per cent., mis- cellanequs items 1.4 per cent. and fuel and light 0.1 per cent. Someone is always trying to take the joy out of life. Here's a fool inventor with an “automat” beer- dispensing machine that sets out a foaming stein when an nickel is dropped into a slot. What's the good of having a beer bar without a white-aproned gent back of it to say occasionally: “This one’s on the house?” . About “Lame Duck” it didn't the only criticism of the is that g0 into operation last December. Taxes and Progress. (New York World-Telegram.) Twenty years ago $1 in every $1550 went to the support of government in the United States; now $1 in every $3 is taken. Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler, in his speech of Saturday, commented: “These figures are appalling.” They take your breath away. On top of this, the national income has dropped to $44 for every $100 previously earned. And Dr. Butler asks why Congress and the Leg- islatures cannot reduce this stupendous burden. Because, he says, there is no insistent public de- mand. Why not? Because the vast majority of the American people are not tax-conscious. He would make them tax-conscious by means of a “scientific and well-ordered system of taxation.” Until then, he declares, “we shall not get far along the road to reform.” He would do this by “capita- tion (a head tax) or some other form of tax, making every voter know that each year he pays something |to meet the cost of government.” This is sound theory. Yet the problem of taxes will have to be examined also in terms of the vast |concentration of wealth which caused the transfer- \ence of tax burdens from the many to the few. When Dr. Butler says, “The American people have none but themselves to blame” and “If the rich alone are to pay, surely on democratic principles the rich should rule,” he does not mention the over- whelming drift of our industrial civilization toward concentration. A tax, universally applied, might be desirable. Yet it could not be large, with poverty S0 extensive. As things now stand the United States, with a third of the population’s income going to govern- {ment, is maintaining a huge superstructure not immediately connected with the industrial process ibut which has been an outgrowth of it. This super- structure depends upon industry. When the latter weakens, as at present, the Civil Service army goes on at an unbearable cost or faces partial de- mobilization, destroying governmental progress and adding to unemployment and stagnation. We are, therefore, caught now by a stupendous economic and social trend. Dr. Butler is unique among American university presidents in that he has lately created a commission of experts to study this whole problem. While agreeing with him in |good part in his tax thesis, we emphasize the un- haltable advance of industrial science and its in- evitable tendency to increase governmental services |and costs. The question of taxes must be considered scien- tifically and fearlessly as a part of the great prob- lem of restoring and insuring economic balatce. In the Dry Citadel. (New York Times.) In Kansas, Prohibition has had its long and perfect work. It must be for less fortunate States that The Emporia Gazette is moved and grieved as it sees mischief conceived and iniquity brought forth at Washington: ¥ It's a 9-to-1 shot that beer will produce chaos in the country, with all the evils of the old saloon unregulated by any reasonable program. In the Sunflower paradise happy generations have grown up. They know not the ancient woes. They are immune from the bite of the serpent, and the sting of the adder. At least, one might have thought so if The Gazette's “male-up man,” over- come by a sense of humor, had not let an editorial headed “Stop! Look! Listen!” tread on the heels of the caveat against chaos. It seems that the Attorney General of the State has warned a Probate Judge that he cannot with impunity get drunk in public, and that from now on trouble will start if complaints come in about the Judge's conduct. This Judge's allegea errors toward the end of his old term. He could have been put out only for the rest of that. Now if he is put out he will stay put out. This one case is painful enough. Alas! there are others: This warning of the Attorney General's might be taken well elsewhere. The fact that county officers in Kansas during the last three months have been reckless and have escaped without punishment merely in- dicates that the punishment possible under the circumstances was too slight. Now it will be substantial. Who would have suspected such ostentatious contempt of the moral sentiment of the .most moral of Commonwealths? In the age of wicked- ness, the heyday of the saloon, was it the habit of public officers to make public advertisement of their drunkenness? Was Carry Nation’s axe wielded in vain? O Kansas!

Patsy scores a hit by accusing Mark of trads ing wupon his crippled body. Mark lives with Farrell Armit age, millionaire, who has se- cured the prcmise of Barbara Quentin, Mark’s fiance, to post- pene their wedding a year by agreeing to use all his re- sources to launch Mark as an artist in that time. Leila Cane, who is fascinated by Mark, is paying Patsy to engineer an ‘affair with him. CHAPTER 25. CRUCIFYING CONSTANTIA Patsy’s assettion that he traded on his crippled body entirely in- furiated Mark. time in his life that his plea ‘for special concessions had been brush- ed aside. He became smilingly venomous. He said— “Another thing that will pre- vent you from ever amounting to anything is that fact that you are|; Such broad effects|, ureducated. as you get, you get photographi- cally—you don’t develop them by means of a cultured observation. In short, you can only mimic; you can‘t create—" “You better go and tell that to|, the ‘Watcher;’ they printed a whole column about my art being the only creative—" It was the harrassea aresser who, ten minutes later, managed to intervene. And even then no def- inite truce was called until the door was flung wide and a bunch of young men and women slith- ered ilnto the dressing room. With much flaunting of bad language end many endearments, they jost- led each other upon the thresh- old and demanded the company of Patsy Raul for the rest of the night. Mark’s excitement increased. He was not impressed by the enam- eled costumes of the women, for by the over-confident bearing of the men, but he saw at least the avenues of approach to a world that must be made to take heed of him. “Ah, madame la duchesse, I feel so sorrow,” Miss Raoul was apolo- gizing. “But no, T asleep must go; much late hours ee-nervate, not?” She pointed derlsively at Mark. “But there, there is a cree- ative -artist who can rest all the day, as I cannot.” The scented and bejeweled flock turned inquiringly. Mark iiffed his eyes to those of a dark-skimied straight-backed woman, whose ‘hair was hidden under a sort of bath- ing cap of gold bronze. “My passports,” he murmered, offering her the sketches. She made a great deal of noise over them and her companions, who she was persuaded to let them stare her raptures, made a greaf, deal more. A young woman whom Mark recognized as the Duchess of Northering flopped to the seat beside him. She was more heavs ily made up than Patsy Raoul, and nearly as thin. “But you must be most decom= posingly clever,” she announced, “These things are simply decoms| posingly good. - You must draw, me next—everybody always drawg| me and then. they draw Constani —" she looked with malice at & short woman in a backless dress of yellow. “Shell pay you a lot but I shall be far better adver- tisement for you. You must see that. Isn't Patsy Raoul quite tog urgent, really?” “She doesn’t like me,” said Mark. “Do you, Miss Raoul? I think] perhaps she’s jealous of me.” “Take him away, May,” com= manded Miss Raoul with every sign of disgust. Mark allowed himself to be ta- ken. There were more of the crew, apparently, outside in the pessage. “Hullo, Mark!” Mark looked up from prodigous labor with the crutch—for in spite of their sympathy and admiration for him, none of his friends seem- ed to think it necessary to wait for im or help him—and discoverad Leila. “Hullow, Leila! : As one country cousin to another, where are these grand ladies and gentlemen tak- | s | Der It was the first|” ing us to? And who is going to |pay for our drinks?” “It's my party,” vociferated the | short woman in yellow whom the |others called Constntia and treat- ed with a sort of contemptuous tolerance. “I wish Miss Raoul could have come but I've got Fan Rin and her dancing partner and that sweet boy out of ‘Here’s Hop- ing!’ and Mr. Lodely is a find. | Bring your friend along, Mr. Lode- ly, she looks a sweet girl” The lovely young duchess hooked an arm around Mark. His cruich |slipped perilousy. He looked into fair face that had not in it glint of ‘character or cour- e, and swore at her bitterly {for her clumsiness. She squealed her delgiht. ‘Oh, 1 simply tingle for you! urgent it feels to be sworn at in the first five minutes— generally that doesn't come till much later on! Mr. Lodely, when my divorce is through, will you marry me? I shan’'t have 1 cent, of course, because North- ring is going bankrupt directly af- wards, but youll be making ousands and really I can dres: on very Mttle.” A blond youth with red-rimmec eves interposed a witticism which temporarily incapacited the entire company with the exception of the hostess; she was trying to rope two slim, sequin-covered acro- s who were just emerging from their dressing-room. “Now, do come to my party, it's the Capo, just ask for Mrs, Lewis J. Jacobson’s table—there'l! it:u a whole gunch of the loveliest The acrobats, who were Russians, made exquisite gestures jcf non-understanding, threw their white dust-cloaks around them anc rar off in the direction of the wings. “Coming, Leila®" smiled Mark Coming, sweet girl?” “I may come on later, but I must see Patsy Raoul. I want ‘&.rbara to fix her house for her but—" | Mark did not trouble to listen |A man known as Freddy was pull- jirg impatiently at him and he set himself to traverse the space be- fore him. The blond Freddy was as inadequate a support as one might have expected from his ap- pearance and Mark was relieved when he hastened on in front and opened and shut doors instead Mark’s brow was wet by the time he had dragged himself out of the theatre and into the car which awaited them. Nevertheless, he was still smil- ng as they drove off at the tail of the festal procession. ‘He was not going to lose his temper ex- cept when he could do it to dre- matic advantage. 'While Freddy and the duchess continued to be- srcear the name and fame of Mrs. Lewis J. Jacobson -with mud—the very car that field them was, he gathered, hers—he tried to fix his mind upon the next few hours. Iritatingly, Leila’s scarlet and gold floated before his vision. “I loathe the De Capo, absolute- ly loathe it, announced the duch- ess, getaing briskly out as the car drew up before a portico outlined in small blue lights. “Youll see to Mr. Lodely, Freddy darling? 'Cos I have to try and find Big- gles.” Freddy held the door of the car and looked vaguely after her. “If you hate staying with me as much as I hate having you stay,” said Mark, “we've got a lot in common. Suppose we meet in- sice?” Freddy, released, bolted after thc duchess and Mark took his time. By inside porter, cloakroom attendant and page, he was even- tually “seen” into the club. The aimosphere of Mrs. Jacobson’s par- ty had grown more quarrelsome but more tolerable. ‘The gold-capped woman was whispering to a beautiful young boy, she had dropped the sketch- es of Patsy Raoul under her chair. ‘With care Mark retrieved them and sititng down outside the circle be- gan to draw upon their backs. He drew his hostess, Constantia J. Jacobson; drew her wrangling, drew her eating, and finally, from memory, drew her blandishing the Russian acrobats. He had so far gone unobserved and when he had touched in the thickness of lips one folks—" 1891 1933 42 YEARS’ BANKING SERVICE to the People of Alaska. COMMERCIAL and SAVINGS The B. M. Behrends Bank JUNEAU, ALASKA . OLDEST BANK IN ALASKA 20 YEARS AGO i From The Empire February 7, 1913 Alexander M. Archangelski and his wife were in Juneau, having come from Sitka on the Georgia. They planned to leave on the Curacao on their way to Tahiti, one of the Seociety Islands, in the South Pacific. They were among the oldest ploneers of Sitka. Mr. Archangelski was a Russian by birth and 'had gone to Sitka 20 years before as a school teacher, later studying mining engineering at Berkeley. He then became the enginer in charge of the develop- ment of the DeGroff mine, lat,erf known as the Chichagof mine. When he left he retained an inter- est in the Hirst property across Chichagof Island from the Chicha- gof mine. Mrs. Archangelski had gone to Sitka as a child forty years before, had taught school and was postmistress at Sitka for twelve years. They had made a trip to Tahiti and remained there for tifteen months and were so de- ighted with it they planned to return and buy a vanilla and co- coanut plantation. A number of Alaskan prospectors had already ‘ound their haven of rest at Ta- hiti, and the Archangelskis were dleased that they would find other Alaskans in the Southern island. Governor Clark had received a number of teachers regarding positions in the Alaskan schools, all of them ad- dressed to Sitka. Several of the victims of the sost office walk disaster of a week orevious were still confined to their homes by their injuries. Council~ man Fries was on the street for the first time but Mrs. Fries was unable to be out. Mrs. Bergmann was still very lame and her niece Miss Wilde was unable to walk hecause of a badly sprained ankle. Col. William Winn was still con- lined to his home under the cars of Dr. J. K. Simpson. The Ladies’ Guild of Trinity| Spiscopal Church had planned an| ntertainment to be given at the Orpheum for the benefit of church work. Those to appear on the program were the High School 3and, Monte Snow, Mrs. Trantow, | = Rose A Andrews—Graduate Nurse Harry Fisher, Max Pittshman and J. T. Spickett. A number of ladies of Juneau made the trip to Treadwell to en- joy swimming in the natatorium. The steamer Curacao stopped at Douglas to discharge 50 tons . .of freight there and at Treadwell to discharge 149 tons. L. M. Ritter of the Femmer and Ritter Transfer Company, was suf- fering from a bad attack of la grippe. Jefferson Davis and Harold Man- ners, two young men from Tread- well, were initiated into the Elks’ Lodge in Juneau. F. C. Doremus, of the Persever- ance Mine, came to Juneau to spend a few days. Miss Dorothy Reck, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Reck, accom- panied by her brother, William Reck, left on the Curacao for Tacoma where she was to be mar- ried to A. Bakke. She was enter- tained by a number of bridal show- ers by her many friends before her departure. Mr. Bakke was a captain in the Tacoma Fire De- partment. Claude Ericson and H. A. Bishop were northbound passengers on the steamer Jefferson leaving Seattle. and nose he signalled to a waiter and had a chair placed just be- hind his victim.

He saw a purplish red mount under her powder, mount to the roots of her hair; her black eyes squinted for a second. “Is that how I look to you?” she muttered. “Not really, no,” Mark admitted. “But you see, I happen to want money and you happen to have it.
