JUST WHOSE OK IS GoRED"-The Trans


portation Act OF 1920 which regulates or is sup
posed to regulate the business of Railroads both
as to employees, the public and the investors in
railroad securities contains among other very use
ful and important regulations and provisions for
Tie interrupted conduct OF railway service, pro-
visions by which railroads may secure financial
assistance from the Interstate Commerce
Commission in the shape of loans for per
iods of depression, to the efficient and
slant service of roads to the public.
This same act also contains the provisions by
which and through which the disputes of the
iols employees of railroads should be adjudcated
and provides definite methods by which they can
DC brought to the attention of the Labor Board,
the only official body charged with the duty Of
adjudicating existing differences in wages and
working conditions or such which may arise dur
ing the life OF this supreme judicial body for adj
lustmcnt without interruption OF service to tie
publ'e.
Both Of these remedial provisions parts OF
this same Transportation Act undd which the
railroads are now ard have been operating since
february 1920 and at the time Mr. Bugg forced the
rmer employees from the service oiLhe Atlanta,
Birmingham and Atlantic Railway f1erantIy dis

Act al also refusing the intcrccsson Of the
Board u Mediation, another of the remedial agcn-
cies provided by the government, thru the 6. {.
to avoid possible strikes lock outs and thuS save
to the public the continuous and efficient services
Of the railroads. As asserted 10y Mr. Bugg at
the time he was not subject I'd the Transportation
Act and had nothing to abitrate, when the Inter
state Commerce Commission sent its Mcdators
on the scene to adjust the existing differences be
tween MIR Bueg and his former Employees The
Interstate Commerce Commission and the abor
Board were not legally in existence then, so far as
MIR Bugg cared or admitted.
1t was a different tale however, when Receiver
Bugg needed funds
The Transportation Act suddenly becomes a law
.u agency and the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion Living Savior, to whom appeal may be
made in his financial distress
The |. c G. and the Transportation Act is
unctoning and is recognized under these condi-
tions, it's perfectly legal now, though in March
1921 both were Outlaws, far as the Receiver OF
the A. B. &. A. was concerned. 1t simply comes
down to the old adagc to ''Whose Ok is gorcd"
Since the above editorial was written the l. C.
& has turned deaf ear to the application OF Mr.
Bugg for loan for the A. b & A. and probable
ment tribunal and representatives when ,hey at

MIR Buge and his former employees, had some
thing to do with their refusal of loan t, hs rail

 Raiberti the French Minister of Marine. It is just year since the Prince of Wales unveiled the pondinb obesk Dover, the English side of the Channel which, together with that raised in New York harbor, completes the triple monument, sym

QUIT MAKING RESERVES.

The statement of a Maj. W. c. Gotshall, as quot ed recently in press despatches from Seattle, that effort will be made perhaps has already started, to enlarge Mt. Mckinley Natonal Park more less of surprise to Alaskans. Reports were re- ceived recently that such plan being con sidered but lacked official confirmation Mai Got shall has recently returned from Anchorage, the Alaska Railroad and the park and it is to be pre- stunned that his knowledge of the plan is shared by Colonel Mears.
 In itself the inclusion of the few additional miles within the park borders proposed would not be cause fer comment. Already the park contains some 2,500 square miles of reserved land and few more less would be of material consequence. But why continue the senseess habit of making reserya- tions? Already Alaska is encountered with countless numbers of them-game sanctuares, bird re- coal and oil reserves fish reserves, and num- berless other kinds useful, more without use funess.
 < Maj. Gotshall is quoted saying the addition proposed to the park is to give protection to caribou If every stream and hill in Alaska which these animals roam is be made game sanctuary there will be but little unreserved land left in interior Alaska. This thing of locking up little more land every time some enthusiast sees stray bird or beast here is overpayed. The formula seems to be-a semi official visitor plus pair Of binoculars, plus car bou, bear, gull, duck, other appeal ing object Ike a streak of indicating coal de- posits, few stretching into forest, plus letter to some Congressman or department chief shake these ingredients and out of the morning s mail another reserve in Alaska.
 Maj. Gotshall's proposition for addition to Mt Mckinley Park may have merit But it's face there to be little excuse for it. There is plenty of within the park for all the caribou, moose mountain sheep bear and other animals known to be in that part of Alaska. The railroad has gate way the park Within the park already there is a square mile for campste for every tourist who will visit it for many years and if eventually they ket become be time to add more Unless better exists than has been given at this the proposal it Is to hoped for the sake of principle that efforts to get and all future will be futile It is time to abolish establish ones, particularly of this type.

AID IN SECURING FAIRGROUNDS.

The modern community is today giving more thought the training of its junior citizens than any other civic activity. It is attempting to put into practice the admonition to inculcate into the minds and hearts of the young the right principles realizing that the inevitable result will be found in a better average of citizenship in the future
 One of the great adjuncts to junior citizen train, ing is the municipal playground. During recent years this idea has had remarkable growth and has been adopted by thousands of communities, large and small throughout the country. It makes possible many amusements diversions, games sports that is other wise attainabe for many of the growing genera tion. It gives young America chance to develop normally, grow in physical strength, to sharpen his wits in friendly competition and match his mind and muscle against that of his kind The municipal playground has filled in many American community long felt want.
 The need for such institution locally has been realized for years Efforts to provide it, launched several months ago by the boys of the Juneau Fire Department, approaching successful culmina- tion. The Farmers Dance to be given locally to- morrow evening is for the benefit of the proposed municipal playground. IL should and without doubt will be given the hearty support and patronage of all Juneau.

"As goes Maines goes the country, says w. w.

 Before marriage a man raves over a girls clothes and afterwards all he raves over are the bills for them.
 Life Is funny. A girl falls in love with a man because he is "so diff ferent" from the other mon and after she has married him she hates him because he is just like all of the rest of them.
 "Plucked eyebrows are on the wane,' says fashion note And that is far better place for them to be than on the girls
 Every married man has to learn to wait upon-and for-his wife.
 Every man counts on doing big things in life, but all most of them succeed in doing is running. up big bills.
 Washing dishes isn't very exciting we'll admit, but the girls who help 'hcir mothers do it aren't in much danger of washing dirty linen in public after they are married
 Probably no one has enjoyed the reign of short skirts any more than the man whose mother, and later his wife, wouldn't let him go to the bur lesque shows
 A man swears before he marries her that he will go anywhere for her and later he'll swear if she asks him to go to church
 The world is full of things, but we have never noticed that the excep- tionally wise men were taking up more than their share of room in it.
 If there is anything we hate it is meeting one of these naughty danes who assumes that "get-off-the-e earth" attitude.
 There's ono thing about these new freak trousers with bells on them. they have designed for mcn-they never will get herman to wear them, but they might get the ladies to adopt them-they never care how fc'c,ish they dress.
 A mans hair falls out just as fast, If not faster, than a woman's, but we never yet have heard of a man hay ing hair receiver on his chiffonier.
 We have met lot of people who seem to be incapab bio of thinking, but we never yet have met enc who was incapable of talking.
 The reason why husband soon gets tired of trying to help around the house is because he gets tired of being bawlcd cut for doing 1t wrong when he does try.

Buddhists and Christians
 May Yet Save the World

OXFORD, Eng, Oct 3.-"Budd- hism is the probable rival of Chris tianity in the Far East" said Pro- lessor Scothill, who at one time oc- cupied the chair of Chinese at OK ford University, in an address before the Conference on Modern Church man. His remark has created some- thing of a sensation in church circles.
 Buddhism" the professor stated, "can adopt and adapt at will. It has recently adopted Christian methods wholesale. Its ideas are at work in the West, even in our churches Buddhism calls for sym pathetic study, and the day may come when the best men in Budd- hism and Christianity will meet to- gether to discuss the possibility of working together for the salvation of the world.
 Buddhism, originally little more than psychology and ethics, is today a religion and the only probable world rival to the two other pro- pagandist religions, Christianity and Islam. Islam has a closer creed. Christianity is writhing in it's own bonds but will burst them. Budd- hism has none Buddhism is spread ng in China"
