Noisy Session Of Fiscal Court

The Powell Fiscal Court met
at Stanton Thursday and dis
cussed the road work in t h e
county. The claim of Williams
& Pitzer for road work on the
Clark county road was allowed.
After the allowance, the con-
tractors tried to get the court
to pass an order that they would
pay any bill as o. KID by the
Inspector H. H. Yount and Di-
vision Engineer John S. Daw-
son. This request was made up
on the advice of Road Commits
soner Joe S. Boggs. The cause
for this request seems to have
been because there is consider
able dissatisfaction with the way
the contractors are doing their
work. And particularly because
they are putting the gravel on
the road soon after the grade
work is completed. 1t is claimed
that this will be no good because
the gravel will work into the
unpacked soil. Judge Daniel,
however, informed the contrac-
tors that to draw their pay from
the county they must do their
work satisfactory to the Fiscal
Court.
The Times commends } Il d & e
Daniel for his stand. 1t is his duty
to see that the work is done to best
advantage. While we do not be-
lieve that either the Division en-
gineer or the Inspector on the job
would accept imperfect work, il
is also we'll for the county to pass
on such vital matters.

Increased Road Tax Proposed

There is a proposed increase of
road tax by a good roads associa'
ton at Frankfort. The tax to
be raised TO 20 cents and the au.
tomodile license doubled. We
do not see why the tax should be
increased, when engineers can
not be obtained in three months
time to make a small bridge sur.
vey after the people have raised
the money to build it.

How Ii Works

Hogs are down ten cents per

works that way. The more the

there is no comparison. Dealers everywhere

More fine rubber combined with greater air
capacity gives this tire added resllency. This
means fullest comfort. 1t means more Car
protection. 1t means less drag on the engine.
1t means less gasoline per mile.
The new non-skid design is another superior
feature. Itdoes prevent skid or spinning of
wheels. Yetit has no suction to retard speed,
waste power or create noise. For the same
reasons this tire makes steering easy and true.
Put this tire on every wheel. You will save
tire money, your gasoline will 90 farther, you
will be more comfortable, confident and safe.

Coast Mayors Discuss
High Cost Of Living
Boycott Favored

SACRAMENTO, Cal, Oct. 29-(As-
sociated Press)-Of many plans pre-
pared for consideration at the confer
ence here tomorrow Of mayors from
three Western states to discuss high
costs none seems to have attracted
of ID. w. Carmichael, Sacramento City
Commissioner.
Carmichael suggested that the pub
lie abstain from buying certain food
stuffs when prices seemed excessive
and this plan was carried into effect
here on a small scale through coop
Grafton of several civic organizations.
A decline in the price of eggs on the
local market shortly thereafter was
attributed by Carmichael to the boy
colt.
Public hearings on high living costs
were held by the Sacramento city
commission and to secure cooperation
of municipal executives elsewhere in
vitations for a conference in Sacra-
mento were sent to 144 mayors in
Washington, Oregon and California.
The resolution of invitation adopt
ed by the city commission said:
Whereas. All portions of our be-
loved country are today confronted by
the serious and seemingly insurmount-
] uh1p t,rnH1n,,c of fhp htnh pnrt pF 1iN-
ing; and whereas, it devolves upon
those in position and authority to use
every human endeavor to ameliorate
the condition of our people in this
respect; and whereas, there exists a
great division of opinion as to the
ways and means which may be used
mon necessities of life; and whereas,
we believe better results in this direct
ion will follow united action taken
by the wisdom of the heads of the
municipalities of the Pacific Coast
States, therefore be it
"RESOLVED. Tha, this commits

The Mayors of the principal cities of
Washington, Oregon and California to

put into operation which shall be
deemed best to bring about a reduc-

HUNS IN TONGA CAUSE
TROUBLE FOR AUTHORITIES

SYDNEY, Australia, Sept. GAS
ISOLATED Press)-Anti-British demon
STATIONS and actions by Germans in
the little Pacific kingdom of Tonga
have aroused a feeling that all the
Germans in the group should be de
ported. Recently the British repre-
sentative at Vavau was insulted and
assaulted by a German, and an appeal
to the local police for redress. was
futile. By supplying liquor to the ma
tives and advancing credit to them
the Germans, it is SAID, have won the
support of most of the native chiefs.
The British in Vavau have petition
ed the New Zealand government for
the deportation of the German who
assaulted their representative, and OF
all other Germans in the archipelago.
Tonga is the last Pacific island king
dom, but it is also a British protect
crate. Before the war Germans were
quite active there.

Former United States Senator
Theodore Z. Burton, of Ohio, old the
Japanese ffnanciers in a speech he de-
livered recently at a banquet tender
ed to him at the Bankers Club that
what the United States most desired
was that Japan should do everything
possible to promote peace among the
nations and "avoid that spirit of i'm
perialism which has so disturbed the
world.
What America asks of Japan in
the Orient" he added, "is a fair field
for competition in trade and no policy
Of aggression toward other countries.
We only ask that no political control
or special privileges shall exclude us
from entry to the ports and to the
trade of the Orient"
Speaking of the future relations of
Japan and America, Mr.. Burton, said,
every interest points to amity, rather
than discord."

FilipinOS Willing
To Take Independence
With Strings To It

MANILA, Sept. 4-(By The Associ-
ated Press)-Confrmation by Cover
nor Harrison upon his arrival here a
few days ago of his recommendations
that, in the event that independence
is granted to the Philippines, r%estric-
lions such as were provided in the
case of Cuba by the Plat amendment
be embodied in the liberating act and
resulting treaty, has, contrary to e
pectations, aroused practically no
hostile comment among the Filipinos.
The native press is remarkably
silent on the attitude of the chief eX-
ecutive. The opposition paper, repre-
sonting the "Partido Democratic con
tents itself with pointing out that the
attitude of the governor is undoubted-
~ approved by the Nacionalista parry
leaders, and, after all, was only to be
expected. The Nacioualista papers re,
frain from any comment whatsoever,
favorable or otherwise.
Governor Harrison's statement up
on his arrival here as carried by the
local press is as follows:
The recommendation that early in
dependence be given the Philippines
under an arrangement similar to the
Plat amendment for Cuba was made
by me officially as encouragement
OF the islands and is also my person
al recommendation. The recommends
tiOn-and this point | took pains to
make clear to Congress-was not pre-
scented by me as representing the
opinion of the Filipino people nor as
representing that of my superiors.
Naturally l am 0 in a position
to come back with any promises as to
a date for the granting of independ-
ence," continued the governor in re-
ply TO the queries of his interviewers.
'"That is a matter which is entirely
in the hands of Congress. Congress
has already promised the Philippines
their independence, and it will have
final voice in determining when that
independence is to be granted"

VIENNA REVELS MADLY TO
FORGET REAL STATION

BERLIN, Oct. 2S-By The Associat-

0 more specifically gay than ever,
owing to the Illicit traders who have
profted by the war and now are spend
ing their ~ill-gotten gains, writes a
newspaper correspondent from the
Austrian capital. Vienna, says one of
these writer's, is dying to music He
describes the people as starved and
morally degenerate Describing the
scenes in the dance halls and pavilions
and gambling rooms, the winter says
that nearly all the people demonstrate
a desperate demand for youth and en-
joyment and adds that this sickly
whirl Of enjoyment bordering on self
destruction" produces a frightful eff
feet on the sober-minded people of
the city.
Public amusements are provided in
the Pleasure Park and Schoenbrunn
where are given plays for children,
fire works, alpine dances, Tyrolese
clog dances by Berchtesgaden peas
ants, acts from Iphegenie and band
concerts.
One writer says that all of this
striving for amusement is only a mask
for perpleXity and inability to return
to older and saner life or evidence of
heedlessness and Indifference.

HEATING i PLANT FOR THEATER
 ISBIC SUCCESS

The heating plant in the new Lath- rop building was connected up, and final test made this morning under a heavy pressure The result was en- tirely satisfactory to everyone con- cerned This is of especial interest, because the plan is the largest indi- vidual heating unit, and the only one of it's kind in Alaska.
 The boiler and radiation was pur- chased from the American Radiator Company, through their Alaska rep resentative, George F. Forest of, Ju- neau. The system installed is what is known as the Durham Overhead Vacuum System, which is supplied by the C.; A. Dunham Company, of Mar shalltown, Iowa.
 Much of the success of the. system is due to the careful and efficient in- stallation. This was done under the supervision of MT. J. Jackson, of Seat tie. with the assistance of George Mosser and w. l.. Stephenson, both of Cordoya. The work Is complicated, owing to the large amount of piping necessary for this particular system. MT. Jackson has installed many heat ing plants of this type, but none more successfully than in the Lathrop build- ing. He leaves tomorrow on the North western for Seattle.
