JUNEAU ORDINANCE HOLDS

The validity of the Juneau city ordinance establishing rates for el- eetric current for all uses in the city of Juneau was upheld by Judge T. NJ. Reed of the United States Distric. Court, in a decision handed down recently in the case instituted last October by the Alas ka Electric Light 6 Power Company against the city. The suit was insti- tuted by the company in an effort to set aside schedule of rates, fix ed by the Council on September 25, 1922, after a controversy with the company over the latter's estab- lshment of new rates, higher than those in effect for several years past.

COST OF GOVERNMENT

People who are demanding, and rightly, . reduction in public ex- penditures and lowering of taxes, ought not, in their meditations, to overlook one very important ruth, and that is that the more govern ment they have the greater the cost says the Cordova Times. The great expansion of government activities began about Q quarter of a century ago, and t has gone steadily for ward, until today our governments. national, state ar3 municipal, are performing tasks which no one would in the beginning ever dream of assigning to them Public palrolls have grown enormously, and they are still growing. A few days ago Representative Rainey said, in an. address before farmers meeting in Illinois, that every two persons in the United States engaged in productive labor have on their shoulders at least one person who is supported entirely by taxes" We have multiplied inspectors. super visors, special agents, divisions and bureaus to an alarming a very burdensome--extent.
 The people might as well make up their minds that they can nor have pa:ernal, benevolent, phil anthropic, interfering, meddling, re- gulating government which shall al all the same time be economical. We could save hundreds of millions of dollars simply by taking the Government out of business which it should never have entered. If the people could be made to realize all this, the so-caued reformers and progressives who now besiege Con- gress and the State Legislatures de- manding new measures of regula- ton and control would find the going much harder than 1t now is.
 There could be no greater reform than the restoration of our Govern ment to something like normalcy. The result would be good in every way. There would follow a lessen

ing of cost, a reduction of taxes, an increased efficiency, and much more self-reliant spirit in the people No reform that is suggested today begins to compare in value and inn porJance with the reform that would bring such things to pass. l. used to be an axiom that the government which governs least governs best. Now the idea seems to be that the more a government does, and the more it costs, the be.er 1t is.

ings for the importers who multi piled that dollar by several millions exchanged for marks and spent in Germany. So avid were they for profits that they baked at paying the small additional costs which the protective duties embraced.
 It will also be recalled that about the middle of 1922 the Secretary of the Treasury had an investigation made of the landed cost, duty paid, of a large number of imported ar ticles, a great many of which ori- ginated in Germany, and the prices of those same goods to the Ameri- can purchaser over the counters of the members of this importers combine The figures were startling, both to the American consumers, who did not dream of the extent to which they were being squeezed, and to the importers combine, which was wholly unprepared for such an expose. Those figures showed profits ranging all the way from 1SO to 2300 per cent, after all costs had been paid and the goods had been finally disposed of to the retail purchasers.
 As the Treasury Department truthfully said in summing up it's conclusions of this investigation "The importer can easily pay the tariff duties without increasing the retail selling price. In other words, the spread between the foreign pur- chasing price and the selling price by the importer is sufficient to absorb the tariff duty many times over without any increase of the selling price of any of these inn ported products"
 This same importers combine is still actively engaged in trying to effect The repeal of the new tariff law by putting the Democratic party into power in 1924. It has instituted a campaign among the farmers try ing to show them they are losers on the tariff. They do not deal in farm products themselves. They do not want to contribute to the Trea- sury Department by way of addi- tional customs duties. They spend their money abroad for foreign laces perfumes, dresses. hosiery, clocks, etc. The farmer who accepts their statements is doing an injury to himself and his country, and helping q class that cares little for either.

NEW YORK, Sept 11.-Fred
Hirshfeld had been in the habit Of
calling upon Miss Martha Staedtke,

telling her Of social life in Berlin,
had inadvertently let 1t be known
that he was really Baron EIirsh.
field and the nephew Of Baron
Ernst Won Schulenberg, Berlin
banker.
So well did the couple get along
that Miss Staedtke, trusting 9
baron, is said to have given Hirsh-
field $4,000 with which to get a
house in Berlin for her and her
mother.
Then Miss Staedtke learned
through a friend who made a trip
to Germany that Hirshfeld's father
was q Berlin manufacturer, and
that there was no Baron Won
Schulenberg.
Disillusioned, she charged Hirsh.

$4,000, but for some time no trace
of the baron could be found. Sat-
urday he was discovered in a pawn
shop on Third avenue, arrested,
and held in Yorkville court in

Coolidge Has Formed
An Early Morning
Walking Club

Roosevelt had his "tennis
club" Harding had his "golf
club" and President Calvin
Coolidge has now inaugurated
a walking club"
Since going to the White
House five weeks ago the new
President has fromed the habit
of taking early morning strolls,
starting usually before the
earliest rising Government en-
ploye has rubbed the sleep
from his eyes.
This morning the President
took his usual early stroll,
emerging from the Executive
Mansion. about $50 a. M, and
for the first time he took along
a companion other than the
usual Secret Service operative.
Senator Selden P. Spencer
(Rep.) Of Missouri was the
companion, They spent nearly
an hour strolling about the
grounds in the dewy grass.
