Sentinel Raises
 Its Subscription
 To Four Dollars

Beginning June l the subserip- tion price of the Sentinel will be advanced to $4 a year. This ad- vance is imperative on account of the exorbitant price of paper.
 Several other Alaskan news papers advanced their subscrip- tion price months ago, but the Sentinel held back hoping that there would be a change for the better in the paper market. But instead of the situation improving it has gone from bad to worse until now a paper crisis exists throughout the United States, England and France.
 The Sentinel knows of no week. ly in Alaska besides the Peters burg Report that is still under taking to publish at three dollars year.
 Five dollars a year is the sub- scription price of the Mccarthy Weekly News, a much smaller paper than the Sentinel, and one which does not set half as much type as the Sentinel. The Me Carthy News sells on the streets for 25 cents.
 Five dollars a year is the sub scription price of the Hyder Weekly Miner. another paper that sets much less type than the Sentinel.
 Ten dollars a year was the price of the Weekly Citizen of Fair banks when it burned out re- gently. And even at ten dollars a year the. publisher of the Citi- zen did not consider it a business proposition to reestablish his newspaper while there was a panic in the paper market. Ac- cordingly, he sold his subscrip- tion list to his competitor.
 Alaskan newspapers are by no means the only ones that have been forced to increase subscrip- ton rates. Before the war the subscription price of the Seattle Daily Times was S5 a year. Now the Seattle Times is SIS a year. Throughout the United States most of the metropolitan newspapers have increased their subscription rates from 100 to 400 per cent. If these increases were not justified new papers would spring up with lower sub scription rates. But they don't. On the contrary the number of newspapers that have been forced to suspend publication during the past three months breaks all records in the history |of journalism in the United States.
 Beginning June 1 the Sentinel will charge regular rates for much that has heretofore been published free of charge. This include cards of thanks, and notices of meetings of the vari- ous organizations of the town. Church notices, however, will be published at a reduced rate. We are announcing these changes with the greatest reluctance be- cause we realize that we are not striking at the root of the trou- ble. No one who pays any at- tention to the paper market doubts that there is conspiracy on the part of the paper manu- lecturers to regulate production and prices. But until the gov ernment quits Investigating and really does something publishers generally will be compelled to in. crease their rates or go out of business.
 New subscriptions will be re- ceived and old subscriptions may be renewed at the old price of $3 until June l.

SOME PLATFORM

A writer in the Saturday Evening Post outlines his presidential platform in four short blanks. His terms should at least prove interesting to those men who claim they cannot run their poli- tics on the same basis as their busi- ness."
 "The right man can do more for his country's welfare in the next four years than an average president in three average terms He must be the right kind of man that as an en- ploye gave full days work and was not afraid to heap up the measure; and as an employer was something more than set of side whiskers, an impersonal Jehovah in a white waist coat to his men. He could even have single-track mind if the goods nov ed over it.
 The platform of our candidate, re- duced to it's simplest terms, should read something like this:
 Work or starve.
 Save or want.
 Play together or you'll play hell.
 Be good American or get out.
 This is a short platform, but a large order. It can be filled. After we have found and nominated our man the curious can ask him what his politics is"

NEVIS OF INTEREST GATHERED
 HERE AND THERE IN THE STATE
U. s. COURT TRIES 100 CASES IN TEN DAYS

After an unusually large and lucra- tive sitting at the Globe session of the federal court, Judge William Sawtelle and his court returned to Tucson Thursday night. It was the largest calendar of criminal cases ever held in any division of the state.
 During the ten days the trials last ed there were Al cases tried, with 9G either pleading guilty or being con victed. Some of the remainder were discharged on technicalities or mixups where half dozen or so of "Bohunks' would be in partners on sociable barrel of "ye olde home brew" and part of them would plead guilty.
 Among the trials was that of a blackmailing case where the culprit was given stiff penitentiary sen tence. Four years was the longest sentence meted out, this going to a man convicted of making moonshine. The woman in the case got six months in Canyon City, Colo, penitentiary, while the man was sent to Leaven- worth. There were large number of cases of operating stills: Another il- licit still case brought penalty of one year and day on the guilty party. Fines aggregating $15,000 were col lected.
 The next regular term of the court will be in Globe in October, but there vii be several matters to come before the court in Tucson in the meantime.

 AGITATION FOR RECLAMATION

The Winslow chamber of commerce is agitating gigantic reclamation en- terprise, which, if put through, will place from 100000 to 150,00O acres of fertile river lands in Navajo county under cultivation.

With his return to Phoenix next Fri day, Governor Campbell will be asked to sign a military order making Geo. w. Harben, of Flagstaff, judge advo- cate of the Arizona National guard, with the rank of major.
 The appointment of Harben was recently made by the general staff of the guard, and is said to meet with the approval of the governor. The papers were to have been signed by him before his departure for Chicago, but could not be prepared in time.

AFTER UTAH STOCKMEN WHO
 FOUL KANAB CREEK WATER

If Utah stockmen are befouling the waters of Kanab creek which flows into Arizona they will be prosecuted, according to word received from At torney General Dan B. Shields, of Utah, who has placed the complaint from this state with the county attor- ney and county commissioners of Kane county. This information was contain, ed in a letter to Attorney General Wiley F.. Jones, who placed the matter before the Utah legal department af- ter receiving word from Fredonia that Utah stockmen were polluting the waters of the creek by carcasses Of animals in reprisal for the enforce ment of the grazing law taxing tran sient herds of sheep.
 Attorney General Shields declares that if acts of depreciation complained of have been committed, the perpetra- tors will be prosecuted. He will de- mand an investigation, he writes m letter in which he also questions the validity of the law which prompted the alleged offense which has render ed the waters of the creek unfit for use.
 The law was questioned by Utah stockman who refused to pay 25 cents a head on stock which crossed the line for grazing purposes. The case was heard before Judge Bollinger who up held the law. Referring to the courts decision, Attorney General Shields says that he is not at all in harmony with Judge Bollinger's opinion. After an extensive investigation and study he is of the opinion that the law is un- constitutional.
 Utah has a similar law on its stat ute books, and there has never been an attempt to enforce it, Attorney General Shields says. He believes it would be an interesting question in the United States supreme court.

Signs of Sanity.
Providence ,JOurnal.)

The head of the building trades, department of
the American Federation of Labor has sent com
munication to the building crafts locals throughout
the country, advising them to resort to reason I'M
less they want to see unionism collapse before the
cpen-shop movement.
The warning makes special reference to what are
called "jurisdictional strikes particularly to be
avoided Such strikes result from disputes between
affiliated unions to whether another is en-
titled mcnopolize certain job issue with which
the employer have nothing to do, They are
VIGOROUSLY frequent in the building trades. Metal
workers may claim the right against carpenters
hang doors that have metal frames. When the
monumental railway station at Kansas City was
under construction the work suspended for
months because the Stone Cutters and Marble Work
ers'Unions could not to the distribution of
their part of the job ia
TO other national International labor organi-
cations and other considerations than men
tened in this significant communication, a resort to
may be commended. The warning will prob
ably be welcomed by the great body of thinking
union men, who, during period of truly unexamped
prosperity have had their earnings rittered in
ideness caused by needless leadership.
1t would be absurd suppose that strikes always,
or usually relished by the rank and file of
unions dragged into them. The sympathetic strike is
positively abhorred by in the skilled trades.
The Boston labor leaders unable to raise d
spark of enthusiasm for in behalf of the police
strikes, and Governor Coodge's tremendous law and
order majority undoubtedly swollen by the votes
Of union labor
Another interesting sign of return to sanity is
afforded by the announcement from Chicago that the
packing house men, more than hundred thousand
strong and unonized, will remain at work whether
not they receive the dollar day wage increase
they believe they should have. A strike that in
dustry, if long unbroken, would be calamity com

truism, of course, but seemingly truth pro-

labor leader cannot expect hold his place with all
It's honorary and pecuniary emoluments, unless he
trumps up a preteXt call strike every now and
then. But if the great body of union men make
known with uncertainty that they hold a contrary
view about what constitutes fitness for leadership
the leaders will see a light.
