MISREPRESENTATION

Last spring, when the territorial legislature passed the bill requiring pioneers to deed over all property to the territory before being admitted to the home at Sitka, the Miner ex- pressed the belief that the law was unfair to these men, and that it would meet with universal condemnation by tair-minded Alaskans, both pioneers and citizens,
 That such is the case is shown by the numerous resolutions passed by igloos throughout the territory, ask ing that the law be repealed.
 As the bill now stands, a pioneer can not receive the pension formerly granted him or her. but must go to the home whether he or she desires to or not, which we believe is wrong In Hany cases the men applying for ad mission to the home have small prop critics which with a small sum fur nished by the territory would allow the applicant to spend his or her de- elining days among friends and ac aaaintances in the locality of their choice The expense of taking a man te the home and his maintenance as a resident would far exceed any pen sian of $2O or $25 pr month.
 The pioneer to secure admission must swear that he is not reserving any property, and must produce two reputable witnesses" to bear him out ia his statement, which is practically npeaching the honesty of these grand cid men.
 Year after year the pioneers have attempted to secure needed legisla- ton, without result They have voted for men who have played politics with the home and the order has suffered as a result With membership Of nearly six thousand in the territory, it would appear that if these men en- tered the political arena they could secure practically whatever they asked for, and that they will not get relief until they do learn the game of pOli- ties.
 In past years many pioneers have been opposed to the order organizing it's strength in a political way; but the past year has caused a great change of ideas. There is no more reason why the pioneers should keep eat of politics than there is for any other organization.
 The pioneers should demand that the home be taken out of politics, and the superintendent be member sf the order. Small sums of money owned by members at the time of their entrance to the home should be retained for use by the possessor in case he desires comforts not fur HlSuCu Uy JHS IGIl1COly HI CctOS Ol the death of a pioneer who is found to have sufficient property to have kept him, the territory can easily ,ap point an administrator to the estate and take out such sums as have been spent for his support The idea is that the pioneer is not going to the home as a pauper, but as a reward for his years of service in opening UT the Northern empire.
 The Order of Pioneers of Alaska should by all means go into politics Net partisan politics, but politics fol the good of the order. So long as the pioneers are being used by politi clans they should get something out of the game-Valdez Miner.

The Publishers Auxiliary of recent date says:
 At Salt Lake City, Utah. a profit-sharing plan, under which all employees of the publication will benefit, was announced by George E. Hale, general manager of the Salt Lake Evening Tele- gram. The plan calls for the distribution of 50 per cent of the netprofts of the paper to the employees, and means an annual bonus to each worker of approximately $500, based on last years profits. The proft-sharing plan, it is said, is in addition to two recent substantial ad- vances in wages.

EX-FOREST RANGERS
 PROVE VERSATILITY

That the United States Forest Service is a recruiting ground for all sorts of busi- ness enterprises, and that ex-Forest Service men adopt a great variety of trades and professions after leav- ing the service is brought out in statistics compiled by
 the District Forester. With the idea of keeping in closer touch with former members of the service, the District Forester has written to two hundred and seventy-five men who were formerly in the service in Arizona and New Mexico during the past fifteen years. One hundred and fifteen replies have been received to date and they show that among these men, there are thirty-five farmers and stock growers, one feed and fuel dealer, two life and fire insurance agents, one contractor, three merchants, two brokers, one salesman, one real estate dealer, a restaurant keeper, two auto mobile dealers, two mining engineers, a ship builder, a draftsman, one engine equipper, two civil engi- neers, one oil we'll driller, and one coal miner. There are also eight forest schools professors, an alumi secreta- ry, an artist, a curator of a

National Committee, and president of the National Education Associa Ii on, housemaids of ordinary abil- ity receive more than twice as much as the average sal ary of teachers throughout the country. Comparing the salaries paid to teachers with that of laborers and other workers, Mrs. Preston says: ''It is worth, per year, $394 more to carry bricks than to train children, $663 more to mould dough than to make boys and girls into citizens, $500 more to hammer hot iron than to hammer ideals, and $1. more to build frameworks for buildings than frameworks for char acter."
 Mrs. Preston's figures are quoted from a study of teachers salaries and salary schedules in the United States for 1918 and 1919, prepared by Dr. E. s. Even den of Teachers College, Columbia University, for the National Education associa- tion of which Mrs. Preston is president.

There are people who never have a movement of the bowels without it is produced by a cath art!c. Mostof them have brought that condition on themselves by the use of mineral waters and strong cathartics that. take toe much water out of the system and aggravate the disease they are meant to relieve. A mild laxative tonic ike Chamberlain's Tablets affords a gentle move ment of the bowels that you hardly realize has been produced by a medicine, and their use is not so likely to be followed by constipation. adv

SECOND ANNUAL SOUTH

The Second Annual South west Automobile Show will be held in El Paso, Texas, on April 22, 23 and "A, ac- cdrding to arrangements completed by automobile dis tributers covering the tri- state region of Arizona, New Mexico and Texas west of the Pecos. Present plans include the most complete display of all lines of cars used in the southwest, with accompanying exhibits of truck and tractor displays.
 Present plans contemplate the holding of a dealers con- vention at the same time as the show, to which all auto mobile dealers in the south west will be invited to dis cuss the general condition of the country, and better busi- ness conditions A hannuot will be given the visitors by the local distributors, and the auto show will be thrown open to them.
 Thousands of dollars will be spent in decorations and entertainment, and from these standpoints it is be- lieved the show will eclipse anything shown between Dallas and the Pacific coast.

 tion, and two assistant state
 foresters. One is a wood
 manufacturer, three are ir
 the lumber business, and
 three are deputy sheriffs.
 In addition there was a scattering of about half a dozen other occupations.
 In commenting. on these figures, District Forester F. e. w. Pooler states, "Young men of education and ability are coming more and more to recognize work in the Forest Service as an invalu- able training. This is be cause work in the mountains brings out the qualities of self reliance and initiative to a degree that a few or no other professions do. All sorts of business enterprises are constantly drawing on the Forest Service for men of broad administrative training. and the versatility of Forest service work cer- tainly gives this training. Only recently the govern ment of Liberia came allthe way to Albuquerque to find a man qualified to protect it's interests in the proposed boundry survey between Li- beria and the French Afri- can possessions, and they picked Lee c. Dawes of this office at a salary and per- quisites three times as great as the United States govern ment was willing to pay him. Likewise the govern ment of Porto Rico has se- lected Fred H. Miller, of the Manzano National For est with headquarters at Albuquerque, for the posi- tion of Assistant Forester in Porto Rico.
 Naturally the Forest Service is not keen to lose it's good men, but we are not averse to securing the ser vices of bright young fel- lows for several years, even if we run the risk of having them picked off later by pri- vate companies that offer high salaries for well-train- ed men.

 rivalry to accomplish theil
 part of the operations, SC
 that production may reach
 600 Overland As a day be-
 fore long.
 Getting production up to a day on this new type of motor car has attracted na-
 tional attention as an in- stance of loyalty and intel ligent cooperation on the part of a great working force of 12, 800 employees.
 This record is further in- teresting in view of the fact that there are now no street cars in Toledo. The citizens at last voted in favor of an custer ordinance. The rail- way company took the city at it's word and sent the street cars into the state of Michigan. Despite this con- dition, the Willys- Overland factory has had an attend ance of 100 per cent from it's 12,500 workers since Toledo became trolley-less.
 To get them back and forth from their homes each day, the Willys- Overland Company has organized a complete tran s DOT ta tion system of trucks, autos, jit- hey busses, and other con- veyances. But at that, it long walks and very early breakfasts for thous- ands of the Overland work CTS. But they get to work every day.
 There is so much interest and enthusiasm among the workers in the Toledo facto- " over Overland 4 that the company has taken steps to provide a demonstration of the new cars unexcelled easy riding qualities to every man and woman in its The free-ride-for- all programe is now being arranged. Nothing lik e this, it is said, has ever be- fore been attempted by any automobile plant. It is ex- plained that the Willys- Overland management in. providing the demonstration merely acceded to a general from the workers in the plant.
 The sense of duty and the loyalty reflected in the daily aftandancn 0f more than I2, 500 workers and the un- usual pride in the product they are making is a re- freshing and encouraging sign during these days of somewhat general industrial 1nrest.

OE SITUATION IN TABLOID FORM

Figures and facts regard ing our domestic oil fields may be of interest in show ing the widespread specu- lation in this industry and the growing production and demand. Read the follow ing::-
 Number of producing wells in U. S.-235, 900.
 Production = 37O, ,OOO, 900 barrels.
 Surplus stock - 135, 0OO,- . 900 barrels.
 Consumption = 390, ,000,- 900 barrels.
 Value of output -$3, 100, : 900, 900. co.
 Oil output to date A ,800,- 000,0 900 barrels.
 Oil reserve in ground-6,- . 400, 900, GOO barrels.
 American investment in Oil stocks $15, 900, 900, 900. : co.
 Number of people inter- ested, between 5, 900, ,000and 5000, ,OOO.
 In 1919 we drew upon Mexico for 50, 900, 900 barrels of crude oil. It will be not ed that the depletion of the reserve oil stock is now as much as 30, GOO, 900 barrels a year, and with the ever in- creasing demand for oil which is being more and more generally put to com mercial use, it may readily be seen that new fields must be developed. As an in- stance, the Chicago schools are being provided with oil burners in order that there be no cessation of school from c o a l shortage, and many other. cities will likely follow this example. Ships are being changed to oil burners and many railroads are turning to oil for fuel.
 The prediction is freely made that crude oil will be bringing $4.OO a barrel in the near future.
 The figures show that mil lions of people are investors in oil companies and show the ever growing inclination to turn to the oil game for large returns on investments.
