TRADE LICENSES SHOW
 SMALL DECLINE
Receipts from Towns Larger and from Districts Small
 CT Than for 1921.

Federal license receipts in the First Division last year showed a decline of $14,67S.5S from receipts of 1921. being s97,673.O9 as compared to S1l2,35167. according to official fig ures made public today by John II. Dunn, Clerk of the U s. District Court The shutdown of many sal mon canneries outside of incorporat- al towns was responsible for the GIL tire joss.
 All of the decline was in receipts from outside of incorporated towns, receipts from the latter being about 90 per cent larger than in 1921 to- taling s50.0s139 for 1922 and in 1921, s3S,155.0S. Receipts from the unin- corporated districts for 1922 were S47,591.70 and for 1921 $74,196.59. Failure of the canning industry to operate at normal capacity and the reflection of that on other businesses out of the incorporated towns is as signed as the cause of the decline.
 However, it is pointed out that every incorporated town made gains license receipts except Stka and Skdgway, where small losses are shown. Ketchikan continued in the lead which she maintained through receipts from cannerles located with in the corporate limits of the town. Jnne1u is again in second place, while Petersburg came sixth to third position. The receipts from the last mentioned place were almost equal to the local license payments. This fact Is accounted for. said Mr. Dunn, by reason of the payment of taxes for two and three years of corpora lions, canning and others, :" which they had been delinquent
 The list Of receipts from incorpor- ated towns follows:

 A college professor fell for a youthful prank and he not only slipped and fell, but went in head first.
 Then a nice little lad, the above young man, received the bounce from the flarper, made a call one after noon, met sweet young thing and executed another ''fall' which smashed him up for keeps.
 About this time the work of the flarper had been felt upon another man, just recently married. He was the innocent bystander but as usual got mixed up in the triangle affair, flapper, wifey and himself, and to- bogganed almost to destruction.
 Mamma-in-law got wise that some brunette hair found in the sugar was not that of her daughter could t be for the daughter was a blonde, and mamma" just butted in and around and up and down.
 Then the maid-servant, she was a cute little thing, also; she got busy, but she worked right in hand with the college professor and everything was getting in a glorious hue with all celors of the rainbow and many uot in it. when d parrot said some thing like this:
 Kiss me. darling
 Talk about Taku striking some ihing-oh, it was awful.
 There was an upheaval, all right, all right, and the college professor, the transformer, maids and men, in cluding stage hands and chorus men and more flappers, also 'mnther-by- law" and all the others came in for the great spill after going up in the air and then striking the earth with a ker-plunk.

Efforts to secure the admission "of

chairman of the house immigration
committee. He said the most modest
appeals for a lifting of immigration
laws "are such as to be startling to
those who stand for continued restric-
ton of immigrants
"The Immigration committee" he
said, "has held extensive hearings in
an effort to ascertain the number that
might come, and the figures range all
the way from 5000 to 100000 and
even more On the islands and shores

INSIDE BORERS

The importance of capturing the
trade unions was emphasized at the
convention of the workers party of
America, which declared for the die
tatorship of the proletariat." For
merly this element expressed their
scorn for the unions. Now they cry:
eve must have the unions to succeed. y
The communists are becoming less
daring, and are now endeavoring to
"legalize" their revolution. The plat
form adopted is a cautious rehash of
revolutionary" platitudes. The
only exception is the urge to capture
the trade unions. Formerly they de-
clared there is no hope in the trade
unions" The usual denunciation of
"reactionary leaders of the A. F. of
L." was made by delegates who jol-
lied members of organized labor who
elect these leaders" This is the
usual policy of "revolutionists," who
claim to be masters of logic.

HENRY FORD

In an interview in Boston recently
Henry Ford is quoted as saying:
"My son and / are agreed that as
long as our motive is to provide en-
ployment for just as many people as
we possibly can, we will always have
plenty of money l haven't really
tried to make money in recent years.
/ realized long ago that / had all the
money | needed.
"Some representatives of Hugo
SHINES came to our Detroit offices
recently. / asked them what SHINES
was trying to do; what they were
after They admitted his motive was
to make money; they were out to get
stock control of business and to
make all the money they could
eff that were our motive, / wouldn't
be very confident of the future. We
are now employing about 100000 peo-
pie, and we hope to employ many
more. AS long as that is honestly
our purpose-to provide lucrative en-
ployment for just as many people as
possible-my son and l will always
have plenty of money to do the
things we want to do"
To the hardened old money grubber
this will seem sheer nonsense; but
when we think it over, we come to
the conclusion that Ford is absolutely
right. This man that can furnish
lucrative employment to thousands of
men is bound to make money. Any
way, with Ford this is not theory,
but a fact that he has clearly demon
strated. He has made money by en-
ploying men at good wages. He has
obtained the best of workmen by such
tactics and produced his article at a
minimum cost. The price of labor
does not affect greatly the selling
price of the article. So many other
things enter into the producing cost
that labor forms only small per-
centage of the cost. 1t is not cheap
labor that has enabled the United
States to take first rank as manu-
featuring nation. 1t is because of
the higher price paid labor in the
United States and the better quality
of the article produced as a result.
While it is doubtful if the higher
price paid labor makes any difference
in the selling price of the article pro-
luced, the difference to the worker |
md to the public is very material
rhe worker being well paid is able
o live well; the butcher, the baker, i
