BETTER DAYS FOR ALASKA

Alaska tangled for years, and its growth and progress hindered by the control of eight to ten different government bureaus, has an excellent prospect of getting away from it's complicated system of government under the friendly auspices of an administration and Congress familiar with Alaska $ needs.
 Gov. Bone of the great territory, who con- menced his fight for centralized Alaskan gov- ernment while he was the editor of this news paper, is now in a position to make his efforts count with greater effect through his official position and familiarity with the Territory $ needs He is now on his way to the national capital and every friend of Alaska will hope to hear of the accomplishment of his aims
 There are many reasons why 1922 should register the beginning of better days for Alas ka. Congress is shaping to centralize it's gov ernment; the new government railroad will shortly begin operation from Seward to Fair banks; coal from the Matanuska and other mines is beginning to be shippel in quantities, the first consignment soon due in Seattle; and, most hopeful of good results of all, President Harding has promised to visit the Territory during the year.
 Gov Bone himself sees a resumption of in dustry and of business in all parts of the Ter ritory and notes the increasing school enumer ation and the building of homes Every pros pect is thus for a good year in Alaska and the beginning of period of settlement and progress to continue indefinitely in the future Seattle Post -Intelligencer.
The Cordova daily times., 1922-02-09
MONEY AND MARKETS

The real basis for confidence in the course of business in 1922 is now clear. Notwith- standing the severe depression during the past year, purchases by the American people in terms of physical volume were sufficient to absorb to a large extent accumulated stocks so that a gradual increase in output of many classes of manufactures may be expected. Future needs must be supplies primarily from current production. This means greater busi- ness activity and explains the expansion in manufactures which has taken place in recent weeks.
 The general tone of business during the first two weeks of January has been encourage ing. The total physical volume of retail trade is good. Sales in agricultural districts con- tinue slower than in cities, with trade in the East and Northeast and in southern California cities better than in the remainder of the coun- try Necessities are selling much better than are luxuries, and this was characteristic of the Christmas trade. Although it is generally rec- ognized that buyers in all lines will wisely continue to be cautious as to future commit ments, is seems probable that there will be a moderately well-sustained distribution of goods into wholesale as we'll as into retail channels.
 Unemployment is unquestonably wide- spread, but probably it's extent has been some what over-estimated. Special measures under taken to lessen it, particularly public works, are doing much to alleviate its worst features. The major part of the productive energy of the country is absorbed in clothing, feeding and sheltering the population. Farmers cer- tainly will not buy heavily, but they must have such foodstuffs as are not produced on farms, as we'll as necessary clothing. They must buy some farm implements, for even with the more careful repairing which is increasingly prac- tised, certain proportion of farm machinery steadily becomes unusable They will buy some

To make government in all of it's functions more efficient and serviceable is the avowed purpose of the Harding administration. Slow of retape, coordination of independent and often conflicting bureaus and simplification of government by the application of business principles.
 Efficiency experts, always the bugaboos of business, have been playi,}s~ havoc in the bus mess of government. Efficient government, always an elastic term, is being made a reality. Revolutionary charges have been wrought in all departments in the past eight months, and the process has only begun.

fertilizer, and they will buy articles of con- venience and even of luxury to some extent.
 Railroads have made notable gains in econ- omy of operation, and improved credit condi- tons have definitely bettered their outlook, although traffic is at present disappointing in volume. The heavy decline in tonnage, ser ious as it has been, has primarily been the re- suit of lessened shipments of coal, iron ore and similar heavy commodities. Reasonable buying of rails, cars, locomotives and other equipment may be expected during the current year.
 The year opens with promise of active build ing construction. With gradually declining yields on all classes of investments it may be expected that funds heretofore unavailable to the mortgage market will be turned into construction projects.
 Labor has not been liquidated and build ing costs therefore are still far above pre-war levels, and are out of line with prices gen erally This condition operates especially against building and construction for produc- tion of income, but not so heavily against in- dividual enterprises for personal occupancy or public buildings and public works.
 Consequently the field of residence build ing and public construction offers the greatest promise The housing shortage has not yet been met. The entire country needs highway construction, and there is widespread necessity for essential public buildings. It is recognized as good public policy to carry on construction of these classes at times when industrial ac- tivity is at a relatively low level. Lower money is making this construction possible. This is unmistakably shown by the volume of state, county and municipal bond issues in the Unit ed States in 1921. The total for the entire country is unavailable, but offerings are known to have exceeded $1000,OO0,O0O
 The new Federal tax law, while not all that have been hoped for, is more favorable to business than the preceding act. In a period such as the present, in which losses have been widespread, the new net loss provision will greatly benefit business which are strug@ling to re-establish themselves Net business losses incurred in the calendar year 1921 or therc- after may be carried forward and deducted from tile income of the succeeding year, and if need be- from that of the next succeeding year.
 In the year ended June 30, 192l actual tax receipts were $4,978 ,30000O. For the fiscal year 1922, receipts estimated at H33,16S,- OOO,O00, decrease of approximately $1,4O0,- OO0,O This reduction in the aggregate of the federal tax levy is largely made possible by greater economy in expenditure, and sigma lizes the first definite achievement toward essening the tax burden on the people of the United States. If expenditures for 1922 are rigidly held within the limits of estimated re- ceipts the return of better business conditions will have received great impetus
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1922-05-20

The Senior class of the High class have presented playss annually for many years, but only during the past five years has the student body a whole been allowed to participate in dramatics. With the advent of Mrs. Sara. Sherman Pryor into the ranks of the teaching staff at the Hilltop institution a few years ago a dramatic club was formed, the members of which were drawn from the four classes. The new organization was dubbed the Players Club, and has been known as such since then. It has grown from a menb ership of 25 to something over 75 students, whose interest centers in the dramatic art.
 Popular Plays Given
 Every member Is given a chance to appear in some production during the year. This winter the Broadway suc- cess, Tt Pays to Advertise" was pre- scented by the Players Club. A unique
