KN|CKERBOCKER HELD ALL TRUMP CARDS
 TRAFFIC DEBATE
(By Special CorrespondenD

JUNEAU, Alaska, Apr. 9.-At the conclusion of the transportation hear ings Saturday Attorney General Rust gard told the joint legislative commit tee to put an additional tax on sal mon canners for the creation of fund from which liberal subsidy could be paid some steamship company to haul freight for Alaskans at the some low rate which Seattle steamship lines at present give to the cannery interests, and also pay subsidies to good sized steamers to enable them to operate in inter-territorial trade"
 Despite the fact that Rustgard ad- mitted the incorrectness of much data contained in his biennial report con- corning the rates on which he had based his analysis of the tariffs, and also other gross inaccuries in his statements, he said that he still main tained that Alaska freight rates were exorbitant.
 Knickerbockers testimony created 8 favorable impression upon his hear CTS. He denied an excessive dividend rate had been earned and showed by annual reports of the company that dividends for the ten years previous to 1923 averaged less than six per cent He further stated that Mr. Rustgard's charges that the company does not want Alaska developed were refuted by the fact that the company investments in Alaska were large. He challenged MT. Rustgard to show him where any industry had been blocked through action of the company, but on the contrary stated that his company maintained the largest payroll and paid the largest taxes of any concern in the Territory. MT. Knickerbocker answered all questions in a straight ward way without hedging and backed up his answers by statistics taken from territorial and company records. Rustgard questioned him in an aim less fashion for about two hours. Later Senator Dimond, and Representative Reyes, Foster, Daily, Raelson. Decker and others also questioned MT. Knick- erbocker and MT. Rustgard. It is ex- pected that the findings of the com- mittee will not be made public for several weeks.

MORE IMMIGRANTS

The immigration committee OF the United States
Chamber of Commerce wal.ts the immigration limit
raised from to per cent. Big employers making
a drive for more immigration and good many little
employers inclined to agree with them 1t is ma
tural that such demand should arise In period OF
labor scarcity when it is impossible to obtain enough
hands to man ali the industries, when domestic help
is hard to Obtain and skIIIed mechanics making SlO
S4o day
Labor, however, does not echo this demand. Labor
knows when ii is we'll off, and opposes any Increase IN
the labor supply from abroad on the same principle
that farmers often restrict productionto keep the
price And with those who interested in this dl-
rect material way great host of citizens who from
patriotic principle stand firm against any letting down
of the immigration bars. They rejoice in the reduc-
ton to minimum of the old, familiar immigrant
horde and if the present restriction is not to be last
ng they want at least to the aliens already here
assilated and Americanzed before there is another
deuge
For the present and immediate future, this latter
view seems destined to prevail. The bars will stay up
for little while longer at any rate. When they
let down it will be gradually, and under conditions
that make the quality of immigrants important
than the quantity. his is right Whatever the econ
omc needs of the country may be- the needs of patro
tic citizenship are supreme.

Uncle Wiggily, Jackie and Peet-

DESERT DAWN

In maze Of mystery
The purple canopy Of the desert
night,
Star-spangled, brilliant,
Pierced with tapering light,
Unfolds! 1t breaks into vermillion
hues,
Pastoral tints, and orchid blues!
Over the rock.bound desert place,
A mist appears, with shimmering,
gentle grace
Last night, in mystic silence,
Phantom shadows filled all space
Weirdly the star-cnflamed shadows
fall,
And earth rolls back her purple
pail!
Night recedes like as dream,
When, timidly at first, sportive
colors bright
Appear! Then gaily gleam--
And 10, a disk of glorious light
On rock-bound crags! The filmy
mist g enhanced
Exotic! Where once night shadows
danced!
Within the magic splendor of the
east,
Gay clouds, like gamboling lamb
kins, join the feast!
And then-a wondrous change en-.
velopes all
1t is the desert dawn!

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
PLAY SNOW

Once upon time, as Uncle Wig
gily was hopping through the woods
not far from his hollow stump bung-
allow, he heard voice saying:
~ IN the Indian and l must
catch you and carry you off to my
wigwaml' -
"My goodness!' thought the
rabbit geurIemen to himself. ''Am
l going to be caught by an Indian9'
Mr.. Longe&rs looked about for a
place to hide, but he could see no hol-
" =" strmps, and he
was getting ready to hop away u
~~.u wl.vA dAugner voice
sdld:
81 m big. shaggy wild bear and
l IL chase you! -
"Oh, this is getting worse and
worse' sighed the poor bunny rab-
bit gentlemen. "Where did the
Indian and bear come from?' But
before he could run away, out of a
little leafy bower in the woods came
scampcring Jackie and Peetie Bow
Wow, the punny dog boys.
"Oh, Jackie and Peetie' cried
Uncle Wiggily, "did you see the
Indian and the bear' Are they
coming after me?''
To Uncle Wiggily' s surprise Jackie
and Peetie began to laugh.
"There isn't any Indian barked
JACKIE. 81 just said that for fun,

You see, we re getting ready to have
a little play, like a moving picture,
Uncle Wiggily, and in the play IN

"Then there ism t any real In

nose not twinkling quite so fast
now. ''Or real bc&r7''
"Not at ALL" laughed Pectie.
"But say, Jackie" he went OH to
his DroCner, maybe Uncle Wiggily
could help us in the snowstorm
scene.'
"Help you in the snowstorm?
exclaimed the bunny rabbit. "Why,
can you have a snowstorm in April,

"'t's like this.i exclaimed
Pectie. "You see m supposed to

The makers of motion picture plays are more par

in Tahiti with real dusky natives padding about in

One critic says of that picture, "The plot of the
piece is none too dramatic, but in view of the back
