ALASKA GIRCULATION GUAItANTEED TO B LARGER THAW THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION HELP THE FOREST SERVICE CAN In discussing the fur farming prospects in Alaska before the Territorial House yesterday, Dr. Jules B. Loftus, Territorial Veterinarian, pointed out that amohg the harldicaps to-the industry is the iact that it is difficult for fur farmers to get title to lands on which they are producing furs. They operate almost exclusively under lease from the Forest Service. There are other steps necessary to promote the fur_jndustry in the Tettitory, better feeding methods, combatting disease on, but the fact remains that Americans are a land- owning people and when it becomes difficult for| them to own the property on which they live and and so carry on their industry there.is a tendency to lose| such as knowledge of | flam di;rapute than any word in eonnection with the ssue. The evils of the old saloon have been in various ways so thoroughly impressed on the American public nind that even those who realize there are some ad- vantages in the saloon system of liquor control look askance. In other the American people become so horoughly disgusted with the saldon, even to the »oint of prohibition, that now, under repeal, they ean toward trying out almost any method before too eriously considering re-establishment of the old sa- loon The idea is prevalent in Alaska as well as in the states.

It is evident that the vast majority see no merit in the old-fash- joned bar with its brass rail and line-up of bended elbows. It is our belief that the members of the present Legislature, now considering liquor control for the| Territory, will find that Alaskans on the whole favor trying out almost anything before return to the sa-' The present system may not be an entirely happy one, but. with effort made toward remo\'mg‘ some of the objectionable features as has been done in the Rivers bill, it may well be worth a more thor- | ough trial before abandoning it for something else.

The Bluff That Was Called (Philadelphia Record) It is always a salutary and heart-warming egperi- | |ence to see a bluff called; particularly if it be a big and pompous bluff pulled off by the strong at the |expense of the weak. The bluff in question is the report of the smp!oy-; ment committee of the United States Chamber of Commerce, which announced last fall that WPA might | HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratufa- tiona and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the follow- ing: MARCH 5.

The Forest Service, particularly, can do more in helping the in- dustry in this connection than any other agency. It can and should make~it easier for the fur farmer to become a landlord rather than a tenant of the Fed- eral government. Just as we have recently taken steps to equalize the tax burdem between our major industries, the time is ripe to equalize the matter of administration and development. Cut down on the over-abundance of administration and expend that same energy in the direction of development and Alaska industries will be able to prosper, and as a result her people THE- SALOO&N IN DISREPUTE-.

It was used. But along comes our hero, Mr. Hawthorne Win- ner, WPA worker, who has the happy faculty of re-| fusing to pay over his chips until he sees the straightj flush the other side is supposedly holding in its mitt. | Mr. Winner, newspaper worker, research man, per- sonnel executive, holds a WPA job through no fault of his own. Naturally, he’ was interested in’ the| Chamber’s report. Mr. Winner would dearly like a | private job. Hence Mr. Winner ate a little less and paid for an ad in a New York paper, challenging the members of the Chamber’s committee to give him a job. Nothing ' happened. Mr. Winner pulled in his bed a little further, and wrote one thousand letters, sending ! them to all members of the committee, to every big corporation head in the country, to two hundred news- | paper publishers. He got fifteen replies. Several congratulated kim,Qn . his able E%w:.
