by the fact that he does not strike. Oth- Ter classes under less unfayorabIc circm- stances have done so and are doing 50 to. day. But the merchant plugs along. more seriously affected by the high prices than anyone else, getting less returns for his work than most of the highly paid Working classes, making heroic efforts to hang on land help in sane rcadiustmcnt of condi- tions under which the nation can work out its destiny.
 The average merchant is but a gradu- ate from the ranks of the workers. Most of them are in business on the accumulated savings of years, savings that they might have squandered or spent for the pleasure of the moment. They stand for d square deal, both for themselves and others. They realize that the good will of their fellow man IS one of the most important asscsts in their business and that only confidence of the public will produce this good will.
 If the merchant should strkc-a fool ish assumption-thcrei isn't any doubt what would follow. The government would come down on him like thousand tons of brick. But he isn't going to strike.

STAY IN ALASKA

To those recent employees of the AL askan Engineering commission lately re- leased and preparing to go to the states. The Citizen urges, don f. Today i~ the least likely of all time for even q temporary SO joum on the Outside, conditions badly m- settled there as the present show no prom isc of becoming better during the winter and it is rather expected that they will be aggravated still more before spring.
 Under such circumstances, living in aI- most any interior Alaska town is cheaper than in the states The amount of cash it will require to make a visit to the states and return to the North will easily pay the living expenses of that same person in Fairbanks until the time comes when plenty of work will be obtauabIc as spring construction work opens
 In fact there k no country anywhere one can live so economically. Cabins are plentiful and rent for moderate prices. Homegrown vegetables may be obtained almost for a song Game for meat is not hard to get, nor expensive when purchased on the market. Prices on food and clothing are cheaper right here in Fairbanks than on the Pacific coast for comparative values and actually lower in many individual in stances
 Next spring when work opens up there is going to be big demand for men. Every industry is going to need employees and it now appears as if some of them are going to suffer for d lack of workers Every man lacking rctald~ our development by just so much.
 We realize that this is a hard country in which to endure idIcucss But there isn't a man who will remain in for the three months or SO of non-cmpIoymont, probably not that long, who will not be better off than those who make the trip to the states and the former will be on the ground floor when the best jobs are being filled and stands a chance of getting the pick of the lot.

IF THE MERCHANT SHOULD STRIKE

Looking around us at the unrest in the country, at the outcry against high Ev- ing costs and the attitude of the average wage ea1ner toward merchants, one cannot but appreciate the feelings that actuated a writer to express the cXasperation of the man ill business in the following language:
 'One of these days the American busi- ness man will strike. He will refuse long CT to be the political stalking horse in every political race He will resent the vile sland- CT that business men are predatory, while politicians. farmers and labor leaders are patriotic and Overf.lowing with the milk of human kindness"
 The same writer asserts the well known truth that American business is sound at the core, and the resentment he displays at the efforts to brand all mer- chants as profiteers and insinuations that they are at least open to suspicion as bleed- CTS of the public is natural and understand able The daily life of the honest business man has been rendered unpleasant by such efforts, and the honest merchant outnum- bers his dishonest fellow a thousand to one.
 The workers may unite and set a price on what they consider the value of their labor and demand specific recognition of the hours that they shall labor. The farm CT organizes his unions and places a mini mum value on his products But let the business man, the merchant of your home town, by common agreement set such values 'and the government hales him into court charged with combination of re straint of trade.
 The calibre of his citizenship is proven
