The Alaska Association

seward, Alaska, April 1, 1917.
Dear Sir: A number of Alaskans
are forming an association in which
your membership is desired, If, as we
believe, you approve the conclusions
and indorse the purposes outlined IN
this letter, an IDENTICAL copy of which
is being sent to large number Of
men of character, intelligence and
proved loyalty to Alaska.
The chief purpose of the association
is to promote the building of the pro-
posed government railroad from Sew
ard to Fairbanks. @t.e
Under the pseudo-management of
Mr. William G. Edes, and the men ac-
tually in charge under his alleged di-
rection, the railroad project will not
be completed within any future period
now reasonably or probably certain;
for the reasons, as we believe, that
the road, and are also unwilling to
complete it so long as public moneys
are available for salaries, expense &C
counts and other charges in which
they are interested
We believe the removal of these
men from the positions they now &C.
cupy is absolutely Indispensable If
disaster to the entire Alaska railroad
project is to be averted. -..
For political and other obvious rea-
sons. their removal through a direct
appeal to the President is perhaps not
to be expected before the assembling
of another congress-; but as natter
of information for yourself, it may be
said that the new committee on ap-
preparations, and all senators and rep
resentatives, will have detailed infor-
nation of railroad management in
Alaska during the past four years,
which will defeat any appropriation
to be disbursed by these same men.
The preliminary work of the new
association will be twofold-to house
clean and simultaneously effect an i'm
mediate prosecution of the railroad
project.
Th1rty-one million dollars of our
money is gone Grief is now useless.
Accusations and recriminations will
be made in congress If made at all.
Accusations and recriminations are in
expedient for us, as our ASSOCIATION is
not to assail band OF daring loot
ers, combination Of bold grafters,
but merely to effect the quiet dismiss
sal of collection of unfortunate men
whose incapacity has brought misfor-
tune upon us and jeopardized our in
terests, but whose chief fault In
personal sense Is mania to hold and
prolong their jobs despite a knowledge
OF their unfitness-a situation In which
blame may well be tempered with
pity.
While our ss1,ooo,o6o is gone-a
large part we know not where still
much may yet be salvaged by prac-
tical and competent railroad builders
and, as the government has been so
deeply involved congress will 60
through with the project without much
delay II 1t be first assured Of an entire
change Of management and a thor
ough housekeeping in all the vari-
GUS departments Of the engineering
commission.
We want your membership active
or passive-and all that you are able
to contribute Of brains, influence and
experience: and we will also want q
dollar Of your money now and then
1 May we have them?
One of your friends will personally
solicit your membership.

Injustice in Army Causes Men

Says Chamberlain.
(By Associated Press,

NEW YORK, March 11.--Describ-
ing certain court-martial sentences In
the American army as things that
make Bolsheviki of our young men,"
: United States Senator George e.
Chamberlain. chairman of the senate
committee on military affairs. sharply
criticized court-martial procedure in
an address before the United Waist
league OF America here.
These sentences are imposed abso-
lutely without any system in the adj
ministration OF the criminal laws OF

ly imposed at the order Of the COM
handing officer, because IL the court
makes a ruling which Is unpopular to
the commanding officer he will order
the court to be reconvened, and in
some cases, issue instructions to It,"
Urges Unemployment.
Referring to long sentences which
lions OF the rules, Senator Chamber
lain said that these boys know that
an injustice has been done to them
and 1t will not increase their respect
for the government.

without leave-homesick youths who

or perhaps last word to their sweet
hearts. Five days away led one Of
them to be sentenced for 40 years"
Senator Chamberlain urged better
treatment Of the returning soldier and
asked every business man to re-em-
ploy men who gave up their positions
to enter the service, II they were phys
ically capable Of doing the work. The
question Of unemployment. he assert
ed, was largely up to the business man
for settlement.

PRODUCE EVIDENCE
OF |. W. W. PLOT
(By Associated Pressj

WASHINGTON, March II. - Evi-
dence gathered by the postoffice de-
partment through seized mail matter
showing activities Of the /. w. W.,
anarchists, Socialists and other radl-
Gals since the signing Of the armistice
was to be read today into the records
OF the senate committee investigating
lawless propaganda. The evidence was
submitted in the form of memoran-
dunn from Solicitor Lamar Of the de-
partment declaring that the radical
elements of the United States were
forming a union with a view to ''the
overthrow of the government of the
United States by means of a bloody
revolution and the establishment of a
Bolshevik republic" and in the form
of supporting excerpts from mail mat
ter
The memorandum which was made
public by the committee late yesterday
asserted that the radical elements of
the country had for the first time
found a common cause upon which
they can unite in Bolshevism. The
I. w. W., Solicitor Lamar charged,
were active in the support of the
common cause" through the organ
ization's field force of recruiting and
subscription agents. He said the ex-
cerpts submitted would show that the
propaganda had as one of it's objects
"a nationwide reign of terror"

Labor Meetings

Central Labor Council holds its
next regular meeting on next Thurs
day evening, March IS. A good meet
ing is expected and a full attendance
is desired-every delegate should be
on hand and have a voice in the bust
ness to be transa cted. There will be
matters of much interest to organized
labor to come before this session.
The Rev. Elmer E. Davis, of the
Second Presbyterian church, the man
that made such a hit at the banquet,
will be there and deliver an address,
and no union man can afford to miss
this treat.
There has been some confusion ex-
listing among organized labor men in
the city as to the right Of attending
the sessions of the central body. All
members of any local union have the
right to attend the meetings of Ceo-
trail Labor Council, but they have no
official status-they have the right to
enter into all the discussions but do
not have the right to vote on any
question. So do not stay away because
you are not delegate.
The secretary is trying to get in
touch with Washington, and hopes to
have some news to give out at the
meeting
Don't fail to attend next Thursday
night. Come whether you are dele
gate or not. The address of Mr.. Davis
will be we'll worth the effort you put
forth in attending.
Secretary.

the city. Governor Goodrich. however,
established a precedent last session
when he vetoed similar measure pro-
vfdfng for the state accepting this
property. Just prior to passage of this
bill the house passed the measure pro-
viding for the two platoon fire de-
partment for the city of South Bend.
License fees to be paid next year on
motor vehicles and by chauffeurs are
the same as those provided in the
Dean measure as It left the house.
The senate amended the bill, increas-
ing the amounts, and the house re-
fused to concur in the amendments
The first house conferees were dis
charged and three other members
were named, who upon conference
with the representative from the sen.
ate. succeeded in getting the latter to
recede from the senate amendments
and accept the house measure as
passed.
Justice Courts Saved.
Justices of the peace courts. which
were threatened with adjustment by
constitutional amendments, were
saved at the last minute by Speaker
Eschbach Withdrawing the resolution
after it had been handed down for
adoption.
Speaker Eschbach, who. expressing
his appreciation for the diamond
scarf pin given him by the members,
sang his swan song as a member of
he legislature, mentioned frequently
Turing the session as a prospective
candidate for governor at the next
primary Representative Vasey. OF
Fort Wayne, has been spoken Of as a
prospective candidate for lieutenant
governor. Mr.. Vesey is one of the
youngest members of the house.
The expense of the session was esti-
mated by house officers to have been
approximately 100000. The exact
amount will not be known for a few
days as several expense statements
have not been filed.

new TAX MEASURE
TO Be EXPLAINED
TO ASSESSORS

District conferences Of tax assessors
and their deputies have been called
In ten cities of the state for the pur-
pose of explaining the features of the
new tax reform measure.
The first of the district conferences
will be held in Indianapolis at thu
house Of representatives Wednesday.
Wayne county assessors are to attend
the meeting. Other counties included
in the district to meet Wednesday
are: Bartholomew, Boone, Brown, De-
catur, Delaware, Fayette, Hamilton,
Hancock, Hendricks, Henry, Johnson,
Madison, Marion, Monroe. Morgan,
Owen, Putnam, Rush, Shelby, Upton,
Franklin, Randolph and Union.
Discussion of the new tax law will
be conducted by three members Of the
commission, Fred A. Sims, Philip Zoer-
cher and Strange n. Cragun.
"All instructions from this office" a
member of the commission said yes
terday, will be to the effect that all
property shall be assessed on the 100
per cent basis and the word will have
the bark on it. We don't want any
assessors to get the idea that there
will be any letting down Of the bars.
Not only will there be an earnest eff
fort to get all real estate and personal
property on the duplicate at true cash
value, but assessors will be urged to
get all the intangible property along
with others. In the past intangible
property has not had a chance be-
cause of the high tax rates. 1t will
be different now, as the tax rate must
decrease, and it will not be hardship
on intangible property to be listed"

HORTON MAY RETURN
TO COUNTY OFFICE

Howard Horton. county surveyor,
who has offered his resignation to the
county commissioners, may reconsid-
er his action, in case the county sur
veyors bill is passed by the governor.
Horizons determination to resign
was brought about partly by dissatis-
faction with the returns paid by the
office, it was learned Tuesday, and
signing of the bill, which would mean
a salary Of $4,000 for the surveyor Of
Wayne county, would probably influ-
ence him to stay.
Under the present system the coun.
ty surveyor is paid by the day for the
work he does, and as comparatively
little road building is assured for this
year, the probable returns would not
have been sufficient He will prob
ably tell the commissioners his final
decision Saturday.

AT Last! A Perfect
Way to Whiten Teeth

A woman's beauty IS completely
spoilt by stained. unhealthy or broken
teeth. A smile, which ought to be such
a beautiful thing, should reveal an even
row of perfectly white teeth. But, I'M
fortunately, few sets of teeth are really
white, for the simple reason that brush
ing with the usual dentifrices Is not
an effective means of removing stains.
and so many dread the periodical visit
to the dentist to have their teeth
scraped.
Ali teeth are covered with thin films
or plaques" which are bound to be-
come discolored in time If only tooth
powder or paste is depended upon to
keep them spotless Many have learned
however, of remarkable product,
Once -a-Week Tooth Polish" which is
a veritable wonder in remov-
ing the brownish or grayish films from
the teeth. Also that once removed
stains and tartar will never return if
this harmless preparation is used once
a week. AS the name suggests. Once
a-Week Tooth Polish can be had in con-
venient package at any drug store and
just a little need be put on the tooth
brush. Parents should begin using 1t
on the little ones teeth when the
teeth first come through the gums. 1t
should be sent to every boy in khaki
or blue.-Adv.

w. {. T. U. to Fight Brewers'
Interests IN Mexico
fBy Associated Press,

NEW YORK, March 11.--Plans of
American brewers to transfer their
plants to Mexico and the orient will be
fought by the Woman's Christian Tenn
perance union, in connection with its
campaign for world prohibition, 1t was
announced at national headquarters
today.
With prohibition virtual certain
ty in the United States, we are going
to direct our endeavors toward Kidding
the rest of the world of the liquor and
strong drink evil" Mrs. Ella Boole,
national vice president, declared
1.-THE liquor traffic is still a men,
ace" she said. American brewers
and distillers are invading Mexico and
the orient with their nefarious trade.
Our sisters in China have sent their
appeal to us. To defeat this menace
we are appropriating 100000 of the
$1,000,000 budget we expect to raise
between March 20 and May 81 to that
end
Although whisky has been put out
OF the running, men who have fallen
back on tobacco for solace need have
no immediate fears. The w. C. T. U.
as national or world organization
holds no brief against lady nicotine"
as long as she confines her attention
to the male sex, it was intimated.
There need be no fear on the part
of men regarding tobacco" Mrs.
Boole said. Local organizations
may carry on anti-cigaret and tobac-
CO campaigns in their cities and
states, but we are planning no nation
wide crusade against nicotine How
ever, the w. c. T. U. is unalterably
opposed to women smoking and will
do everything in it's power to discour-
age the habit. Through education it
expects to prejudice the coming gen.
Grafton against the use of tobacco"
