| WE'LL ADVISED TREATMENT
OF THE TRAMP PROBLEM

The following is reproduced from
the Jackson News as a mighty coed
way to treat-not solve-the tramp
problem. An argument in its favor
which the Jackson Mayor does not
state, is that when appearances are
against a claimant for help, the city
police could investigate and verify
him.
Mayor S. j. Taylor makes an ur-
gent request of the housewives Of
Jackson; it is "don't feed the
tramps." 81 hope" said the Mayor,
'that the wives of the city will de-
sist from giving food to tramps who
go to their doors and beg, but in
stead to send them down to the city
hall, for we are prepared to give
them all the food they may require"
The Mayor then went on to explain
that he adopted a plan to feed the
tramps on city money, but to make
them work for their food. 81 be-
~lieve," said the Mayor, that while
the taxpayers naturally will have to
stand the expense of feeding the
tramps at the city hall, it would be
| cheaper in the long run to adopt this
policy, for when they 60 to the
homes and beg they are tempted to
steal and rob. l would also suggest
that those who have old clothes to
give away send them to the United
| Charities or the Salvation Army Of
ficials, for they are in position to
and where such articles will do the
most good"
The News of Monroe (La.) tells
of the work of the United Charities
in that city; which it iustifies in the
following illustration of the vice of
"promiscuous giving":
A rather shabby dressed but new
ertheless fine looking elderly gentle
man stopped a clergyman on the
streets of Monroe one day and after
introducing himself explained that
he was financially embarrassed. If
he could get two dollars he would
have sufficient money to pay his fare
to the place where relatives lived
who would care for him. Would the
clergyman not contribute fifty cents?
The clergyman in turn explained that
there was a law against begging in
Monroe, but as he was very favorably
impressed with the strangers looks
he volunteered to give the man the
whole two dollars on the condition
hat he would not ask n one else
for money. The man promised, ant
thanking the minister profusely de
parted. Watching him, the minister
saw that he did not take the direc
ton that led to either of the stations
SO he decided to do a bit of following
up work. The mar entered a grocery
store, and the minister arrived il
time to hear him telling the kind
hearted proprietor the same story tt
: which. he himself had just listened
: A rather unpleasant scene ensued
, after which the minister resolved
: more firmly than ever that Their,
. should by all means be a centra
t clearing agency in this town for tn,
detection of just such frauds. H,
wondered just how much of this pro
} miscuous giving had been wasted OF
similar cases. Afterwards he wishet
he had had the man searched to Sc.
how much money he had made tina
day.

Growth is Rapid

While it is not an uncommon
thing in this country for towns to
spring up overnight, as it were,
the rapidity with which Nenana
buildings are taking form exceeds
even the expectations of those
far-sishted investors who put their
money into property at the time
Of the Let sale. And the growth
of the town is of a most substan-
tai character, the majority of the
buildings now under construction
having more the appearance of
permanence than frame struc-
lures usually seen in Northern
towns.
The growth of the town has
been remarkable in every way,
but even greater progress would
have been made had the lot sale
been held a month earlier and if
building material had been more
plentiful. Scores of property
owners we're unable to build this
year en- account of unfavorable
conditions and many Of the struc-
lures and business blocks now in
course of construction have been
greatly delayed, all of which acted
as a check to the growth of the
town. But for that, Nenana today
would rank among the first cities
of the territory in every respect.
These things are mentioned,
not as an apology for the absence
of buildings that might have been,
but to direct attention to the build
ing activity which is to be expect
ed with the coming of another sea-
son. The indications are that
where there is one building now
there will be at least a dozen a |
year hence. The fact that sixty i
four permits for permanent build
inss were issued during the first
two months of the towns exist
ence shows that confidence in the
future of Nenana is not lacking
and the steady advance in the val
ue Of property is a further evil
dence of solid growth.
