Comparative
Prices
Why Notl

Some stores do not use
Comparative prices" in
their advertising. Others
do.
The use, or non-use, Of
comparative prices is
simply . matter of store
policy and is not an in
dication of honesty or
dishonesty.
John Wanamaker, for
instance, does not use
comparative prices in his
Philadelphia store, but
does use them in his New
York advertising.
Comparative prices
can be dishonest, Of
course.
So can advertising without

TAMMANY DID NOT CONTROL.

Those people who say Tammany controlled the San Francisco convention make grevious error. Tammany did not control it, did any other combination of individuals. The San Francisco convention was strictly delegates convention. If Tammany had controlled the nomination of Presidential candidate would have occurred On early ballot. The very fact that the contest went for A ballot before a nomination was made is proof of the independence of the convention. Gov. Cox was then nominated because he was the first second choice of more than two-thirds of the delegates at San Francisco.
 It is a well known fact that Gov. Cox was the seccnd choice of a very large majority of those who voted in the convention than 40 ballots for former Secretary McAdoo. These McAdoo men pre- ferred the Ohio Governor any dark horse that suggested Determined efforts put forth to per 5uade the convention nominate dark horse, but it refused because it determined that the logical nominee was either Gov Cox Mir McAdoO.

THE GOLD BONUS.

Alagkans generally and as a body can be said to be in the so-caled McFadden bill which has as it's object the placing of bonus newly pro- duced gold. This bonus it is proposed, would be taken care of by gold used in commercial and industrial arts. The supporters of this bill main tain that it will in wise affect the gold standard ard will revive the gold mining industry which has steadily declining with the ever decreasing value of the purchasing power of gold.
 As gold mining is of Alaskas main industrie: surprising that the bonus proposal is warmly advocated here The attitude is naturally expected in parts of the country where the industr. is a factor It is encouraging to note that some at tention is being given the matter in the east. In recent issue of the New York Evening Post. th bonus plan advocated by the Hartman Nationa Bank which presented it's case in paid advertise under the heading "The Cost of Gold.' a follows:
 The Federal Reserve Act requires that 40 per cent. in gold be maintained against notes in actual circulation, and 35 per against deposits, in gold lawful money
 The Worlds gold production for 1919 was $36514121S, which the United States contributed $5S,4SS,S00, decrease in of $10,000,000 from the previous year. We learn that the United States coined gold sin 1918 and 1919, but there was consumed in the industrial arts in the United States alone during 1919 $52,4o974o of gold, nearly all that mined in this country.
 Where to get additional gold for our~reserves unless stimulate production and how stimulate production cept by paying for it? With the high cost of labor and machinery, gold production has diminished because of gold does not bring enough in the market to the cost of producing it. and this is a condition that will continue until labor and costs are duced The question is will such again be reduced the figure necessary for the gold miner produce his metal at profit? Yes with dehaton of commodity prices and reduced
 The Hartman National Bank would favor premium the of gold for jeWelly, dental needs, window lettering, dec oration and hundred other ways. With this premum upon such of gold paid subsidy the mine-owner he 3could doubtedy make both ends and have legitimate profit wherewith to help pay his taxes

MIR. VANDERBILT WRITES OF ALASKA.

Writing in the New York Times from and abo Seattle, Cornelius Vanderbilt Jr., a member of t V ealthy Vanderbilt family of New York, speaking what Alaska has done for Seattle, gives us the f( lowing very accurate summary:
 In 1898 Seattle got it's first real start. The phrase billions in free gold in Alaska was the byword of the country at the time. In the days of '9S Seattle jumped from trading post to bustlinc city The broad harbor filled with hundreds of little craft bound for 'Elorado !" Those were days when men, women and children went on boats with horses and mules-any means by which they could get north. They fought wind and water and gold to make the trip to Dawson, Fairbanks. the Yukon. the Iditarod, or to the golden sands of Nome Through Seattle poured throngs of goldseekers Men and boys from every station in life who had staked their all on getting free gold from Alaska outGttcd here.

 There is monument 10 William Seward in one of the parks here. l. was he who dared 10 brave public sentiment and buy Alaska at cost of about ? cents an acre At that time il tamiliarly nicknamed Uncle Sans Ice Chest" In 1919 Alaska's imports totaIed $3S.s57.259 Her exports were S70,65s,0s0. This means a total Alaska trade of more than $lO9.0O0. .000.
