Nomina1ly there is exemption from
taxation for an amount of income sup
posed to cover ordinary expenses al
tho the measure of exemption was cal
cu1ated in times of lower living cost
than the present. But indirectly the
tax falls on every one, without exemp-
ton. The tax already falls on every
thing we buy. Would It be more bur-
densome, If it were to be levied d.
rectly and definitely by the govern
ment, thru a tax on sales, instead of
being collected. with usury, by manu-
facturer, middlemen and seller?

changeable laws of trade that when
more persons want to buy than want
to sell prices go up. And when more
persons want to sell than want to buy
prices go down. These tendencies are
increased by the fact that there al
ways is hesitancy to buy on a falling
market or sell on a rising market.

You can say for me that 1 consider

There is a chance for securing a

the balance of the land owners will

a strictly cash in advance basis by the
first of April, 1920. Those who let
their subscription run in arrears will
have to pay $500 per year for The

ruling, not because the credit of our

OF the increase in general running ex-

for. During the last week number
of our subscribers have responded to
the notice published last week and
have called and settled their accounts

normal premiums over heavy grades,
and this condition will continue some
time to come. Heavy fat hogs have
been marketed closely, and the light
weight grades will soon dominate the
supply. Pigs are in active demand
from feeders.
Sheep and Lambs
Trade in sheep was quiet with
prices steady to 25 cents lower. Best
grades were steady and others show
ed the decline The top price for
lambs was $19.75. Receipts were

in charge of the affair tomorrow night, were debating about some thing to spring on the people to get them out to the dance. Finally someone mentioned the gun. That was practically the first information any of the committee had of such a war instrument being in Juneau MT. Coleman quickly organized a squad and a charge was made on the barn. The enemy capitulated with out a struggle, the gun was hauled out and the exhibition today is the result. Following the purpose or creating special attention to the dance, the gun will be taken to the grounds of the Governors office and there given place where it will remain for the future, not only as q memento of the Germans defeat, but as a reminder that Alaska did something big in the Victory Loan drive
 So much for the gun-and now fO~ tho dance tomorrow night. This affair is the second annual joy-fe5t of the local Post of the American Legion. Dancing will begin at 5 o'clock and the Grand March will be sprung at 10 o'clock Just previous 10 the dance. Gov Thomas Riggs, Jr. and J. P. Walker, Department Com mander of Alaska for the American Legion, will make remarks. Gov. Riggs will tell what Armistice Day means and Mir Walker will tell something about the Legion.
 The dance committee, composed of Perry Coleman Ralph B. Martin and John J. Woodland, assisted by Ernest Smith and others, are planning a biz time with original decorations thrown in. Ex-service mon are requested to wear their uniforms. not as 2 matter of self laudation, but in res pect of the day and those who made the supreme sacrifice. If eX-service men do not have their uniforms they should attend the dance just the same for there will be hundreds of others there in civilian clothes.

 By systematic plans and practical performances it has given a clear answer to the question why the Red Cross should be continued and car ried over from wartime activities to peace-time activities. The answer is in the record.
 Additional to these obvious as poets of the matter there is another reason why I, as President of theI United States and President of the American Red Cross, urge my fellow countrymen to join the Rcd Cross in impressive numbers: Reaction fol- lows emotion and after great effort comes perilous lassitude.
