DOLLEY HAS GOOD PLAN
FOR MAKING REAL ROADS

j. N. Dolley, former state bank
commissioner has like the rest Of
us, grown weary of seeing money
wasted on roads. He suggests plan
for building permanent roads with
out any direct tax on property own
ers. He says:
The proceeds from the automo-
bile tax now amount to practically
one-half million dollars year. This
money is not being used for per-
manent roads, but is going about
the same course that tens of mil
lions of dollars have been used for
the past fifty years for road build
ing in Kansas with less than 25
per cent of permanency. Nearly 20
per cent Of this one-half million
dollars, collected for automobile IL
censes, is foolishly wasted at the
source of collection. The other so
per cent produces very small per
cent of permanent work.
We will take as an example the
next five years of permanent road
building:

 BAND.

SKAGWAY, Oct. 17-Senator Sul- ger was given a magnificent reception here last night.

 The Senator was introduced to the audience by Mayor Howard Ashley, who in a few we'll chosen words, stat ed that while he had always been a republican, he took much pleasure in introducing Senator Sulzer as the next delegate to congress. The Sen ator made a splendid impression and his appeal was one that won the hearts of the people of Skagway who will give him a large majority.

HOMEMADE WINE
 CASE TO BE TRIED

PORTLAND, Oct IT. - Joe Mare stoni, charged with manufacturing wine in violation of the prohibition law, was fined $2OO yesterday after noon by Judge Langguth in municipal court, and A. F. Ferrera, attorney for the defense, gave notice of appeal
 Upon the appeal of Marestoni the custom of manufacturing their own wines will hang, and the members of the local colony are backing the case.
 Ferrera will base his case, as he did yesterday, upon the fact that at the time the grapes were pressed there was less than one-half of 1 per cent of alcohol contained in the juice, and that the fermentation that pro- duced the alcohol in a percentage in an excess of the amount prescribed by law was a natural process.

Circular Demands
 HOIlWeg to Retire

BERLIN, Oct. IT, - The campaign
 ~~inst Chancellor von Bethmann- -.-Iweg is daily assuming a more tangible form. A circular demanding retirement of the chancellor has been sent by a vociferous group of his op- ponents to such members of the agu- ments. Attacks are made on the chancellor's attempts to reach an agreement with England his first at titude toward Belgian neutrality and his policy in the submarine issue. The only name of international prominence among the signers is that of Ernest Haeckel and the circular is regarded as symptomatic rather than serious.
 Another factor which is disturbing the political situation is a breach of the political truth proclaimed at the outset of the war which has been made by the Saxon socialists.

WILL HISTORY
 REPEAT ITSELF?
The Record And The Rea- son Does Not Support
 His Contention.

At last evenings meeting, one of the speakers emphatically declared that President Wilson would be re- elected. Indications, he said, pointed clearly to that result.
 Glancing back over our history, we face the astounding fact that in near ly eighty-four years, no democrat has been reelected president of the Unit ed States. It appears that when they are through their term, everybody has had enough. The only exception to the rule was Mr Cleveland. He was elected, served one term, was retired and four years later was elected again, because of republican dissensions.
 Not only that, but another remark able fact is that there has been no increase in the democratic popular vote Twenty years ago, the popular vote of the democrats reached high tide, Bryan receiving 6.500,000. Four years later, he received nearly 200,- 900 less. Wilson came next with less than 6,300,000, while the combined re- publican and progressive vote of that year was better than 7,6O0,0OO.
 The reason the democratic party does not grow in popularity is the widespread belief that democratic times" which as a general rule means hard times, always prevail under a democratic administration.
 l If we take the above as a true in dication of what we may expect at the coming election, President Wilson will suffer the same defeat that his predecessors suffered.

HIS UNCALLED FOR
 COMM Is
Says He Is Some Fisher man" Fishing Mostly
 For Suckers"

An audience which had assembled at Red Mems hall last night to hear MT. Grigsby candidate for attorney general, and MT. Austin upon the pc litical issues was amused, disgusted and harangued by Senator J. M. "Si' Tanner, of Skagway, for over an hour. "Si" was sandwiched in between Aus tin and Grigsby so that those who wanted to hear the two latter had either to tolerate Tanner or fail to hear the others. "Si" had to be heard and there was no escape except to leave the hall His first faIsehood was nailed when he said, in reference to the bill defining the property rights of husband and wife," that all of the members o fthe house of repre- sentatives from the First division yot- ed against the bill except MT. Held. Either ignorance or a willful desire to falsify prompted this statement, and evidently the speaker thought he could get away with it, though he had in his possession the record which proved his statement to be false; and when he was "called" on the state ment it took him long time to pro duce the record which branded him as prevaricator, whereupOn he wax ed very wroth and proceeded to sput- ter and froth at the mouth like an enraged animal much to the amuse- ment of his hearers.
 The Senator said, among other things. that he had been accused of renting houses for immoral purposes. This he denied very Justify. It ap- pears. however, that he did not begin to deny this accusation until he got as far away from his home town as Juneau.
 "Si" had a good deal Q say about fish and the fisheries. LOW "Si' is some fisherman. He knows all about it. He has beer. engaged in fishing (for suckers) for years, and is still employed He took fling at the can neries aIso-and by the way there are no canneries at Skagway, hence no pay roll from that source-and stated that only one cannery in Alaska had paid it's territorial taxes. But he was not manly enough to add that that one cannery was the Pure Food Fish Company, the only cannery in Alaska in which MT. Hec1man. his opponent, is a director. For "si7 such state ment would come too near being the truth, and therefore operate against his admitted well established reputa- tion.
 The addresses fo MT. Austin and MT. Grigsby were well received and their statements deserve the most careful consideration.
