STAY IN NORTH ] IS WARNING OF
 HARRY R. TAYLOR
Former Transportation Man Of Juneau Gives Tip on
 One Sure Safe Bet.

''If you are going to play the game Of the human race, I can give you a 100 to shot to win. It will be 2 safe and sure bet That bet is 10 stay in Alaska. hang onto your job, but stick in the Northland."
 This is the way Harry R. Taylor, one of the best known transporta- ton men in the North sums up the situation in the States. For a num- Ter of years Mir. Taylor was with the Great Northern Railway, and during part of that time had his headquar ters in Juneau. MT. Taylor is now located at Anchorage and Is inter- also in mining property. He is rc- turning Westward on the steamer Spokane after trip to the States.
 "I have been as far East as St. Paul on business and for pleasure" said MT. Taylor. After remaining in St. Paul for two weeks, decided to go no further East but to return to the coast and back to Alaska. One has no idea of the unsettled conditions in the States. Men are being laid off in all occupations. Wages are being cut, or will be ra- duced after the first of the year Many large plants are closing down either in part or whole and will re- main so for perhaps many months to come. One sees the present con ditions reflected in the amusement, world The cafes have lost much of their bright side-they are too ex Densive. Sombre plays and such moving pictures are being displaced by musical comedies or comedies with laughs in the lines or fin the business. While there is little gloom there is an air of oppression and anything to promote pleasure bright ems up the spirits of everybody. Take straight tip. Remain right here in good old Alaska, don't even 90 out to see what is going on, you will be touched on all sides for fin. ancial assistance and you will be disappointed in the way the States look"

CAPT. kLEINSCMIDT'S
 PICTURES AT COLISEUM

We live in Alaska, many of IL have spent years here without know ing but very little of the wild life with which it teens. Alaska is pre- aminently a big game country. the hunters paradise, yet so inaccessible s 1t. the dangers of a hunting trip so great that comparatively few have penetrated to the Shadow of the North Pole"
 One of those few is Capt Klein schmidt, who made the expedition on the staunch little ship Polar Bear, and hunted, nof only with a gun but with a camera as we'll And the story of that expedition is recorded in five reels of the most marvellous pictures ever filmed.

 These Alaskan pictures will be shown Tuesday and Wednesday al the Coliseum Theatre and offer ar attraction that is new and different. It is impossible to convey by words the fascination and interest they inspire To be appreciated they must be seen.

OPEN SHOP SYSTEM is GROWING
RAPIDLY.

The numerous strikes throughout
the country. many Of them in open
violation Of contracts, have become
such a menace to the orderly conduct
Of business and industry that the open
shop is rapidly gaining in favor not
only by employers, but by the public,
which is frequently the greater suf-
ferer through labor disputes. The
mine operators of this district stood
firmly for the open shop in the strike
last summer and won. Recently the
large employers Of Spokane adopted
the open shop principle. The last to
adopt the American plan of employ
ment is the Ada county Employers
association, which has published
these principles:
''First-This association stands
squarely upon the principle of the
open shop and recognizes the
right of every man and woman to
work without interference from
any organization, class or So
ciety;
"Second-We do not dispute the
right of labor to organize or to
living wage for its work;
'"Third-We are willing to meet
our employees at any time to dis
cuss the conditions affecting their
work and to promote harmonious
relations between the employer
and employee
'Fourth-Inasmuch as the pub
lie is the ultimate consumer we
realize that it has vital interest in
these disputes and should be con-
sidered in any settlement Of them.
as any increased cost Of produc-
ton and distribution must be
borne by the public"

In the earlier days of Montana
there was much whisky Of high grade

fconnoisseurs and experts in taste to
make the sale of such terrific concoc-
tions that are now surreptitiously
available. It is true there were places
that kept in stock a brand of liquid
which concealed such volcanic force,
that one bartender confidently told US
a bottle Of it was returned by an I'M
dertaker who had bought it in an
emergency to use as embalming fluid.

would ruin his business. IT'S got a

tender. We didn't dispute him as we
always held childlike faith in the

not the real stuff, and is quickly
shown up in the wear There would
be no objection to that from the wool
growers, if it were properly labeled
and was sold at a price commensurate
with its cost or worth But unscrup-
ulous manufacturers not only palm off
shoddy as virgin wool, but they charge
a price based on the cost as if it were
all virgin wool. Thus they libel the
wool growing industry. increase the
cost of clothing abnormally, taking
all the profits themselves, and reduce
the demand and consumption of vir-
gin wool. All this hits the wool grow
ers right in the pocketbook.
The French bill, now known as the
truth in fabric" bill, is designed to
stop this evil. 1t will protect both the
consumer and the producer Shoddy

all wool than should cleo be sold as
butter or horsemeat as potted Ham.

its complete endorsement to the pro-
posed law, but it hopes every reader

UNCLE SANS PAYROLL.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

Seattle st-Intelligencer)
A year and a half after the armis-
tice the war department carries on its
payrolls 100000 civilian employees.
The navy department still carries a
civilian roll of 100000, which exceeds
the number of officers and men be-
longing to the American navy!
According to the latest estimate,
the grand total of employees of the
government is 1880.
On Washington. D. c.. 1O2,126 civil
ians are still drawing pay from Uncle
Sam, as against $4,000 when war was
declared in 1917.
And in the face of all this, with the
departments so congested with en-
ployes that they are in each others
way. the postmaster general recently
increased his force largely.
Even the civil service commission
is unable to furnish accurate figures
touching the civil list and frankly ad-
mits it.
The department heads. instead of
recognizing the need of curtailment
and the putting on of brakes, without
exception are submitting estimates
which call for increased appropria-
lions.
Representative Siegel, who pre-
scented a startling array of figures to
the house said:
mo official in a supervising capac-
ty in any department has come for
ward with any real action showing
that he has endeavored to reduce the
force under him and to attain the
high standard of efficiency the gov
should have at all times. Of |
hcials do not seem to realize that
economy in government is imperative /
Our burden of taxation is out of rea-
son.
"The departments need new chiefs
who will determine to keep those who
ire efficient and necessary and dis
,harge without delay those who can
,e spared and are inefficient"

THE USUAL BRYAN BUNK.
National Republican,

N-HeNNAcAAeAi ANCPuULCdHJ
Yes, the campaign of 1920 is on.
! William J. Bryan is again busily en-
gagged in demagoging about the rail-
reads. He is rolling the old familiar
phrases about the "plutocrats" and the
special interests" and the giant cor
porations" which. he says. control
congress and the press, and grind
down" the people.
Perhaps the colonel doesn't know
that since he last made the welkin
ring with his invectives against the
plutocrats and railroad barons. his
own political party has been in power
for six years, pledged to eliminate all
the ''plutes" and tame all the "monop-
olies'" and presumably, in all that
long period Of control of the govern
ment, has cured all the evils he has
made himself rich railing against.
Possibly Colonel Bryan is unfamil-
lar with the fact that the people have
even had dose Of government own
ership of railroads, which he used to
say would reduce freight and passen-
ger rates to a figure little more than
nothing and support the national gov
eminent out of the profits. Maybe he
ioesnt know that the real result of
he experiment of political railroading,
'arried on by his own party, was an
Increase of transportation costs to the
'eople of something like a billion dol

'recked by the political management

uce transportation millennium. that
