 Legal experts who have attended the hearings admit that the present operations of large corporations may be within the law" They believe the government can proceed in no judicial way to obtain lower prices for the consumer of gasoline. There is no way 10 reach the present situa- tien unless Congress moves to regu- late prices and distribution, they say
 The oA industry could be declared a public utility by Congress and the government given the reins of con trol, they say. Legislation to this end may be introduced in the Sen ate before the end of the present session, it is thought. It will be i'm possible. however, to obtain any ae- tion on the proposal until the next session of Congress.

 Ashanti stool-makers have carved it. All queen-mothers who dwell here have contributed toward it.
 'D It may be that the Kings child has heard of the Golden Stool of Ashanti. All we women of Ashanti thank the governor exceedingly be- cause he has declared that the Eng fish will never again ask us to hand over that stool. This stool we give gladly 1t does not contain our soul, as the Golden Stool does, but it con tains all the love of us Queen Moth CTS and of our women.
 "We in Ashanti have law which declares that only the daughters of a Queen can transmit royal blood and that the children of King cannot be heirs of the stool. This law has given us women a power in this land, so that we have saying which runs, Tt is the woman who bears the mem

 TALKS ABOUT MAYO
GaWson NeWs.)

Charlie Anderson, who got in from the transportation of ore from Keno Hill to the dock at Mayo is going along without hitch He says that the Treadwell Yukon Company's caterpillar is landing about 750 tons a month, while the Greenfield & Pickering horse squad is piling up a good 1000 or so tons each month. The trail from Keno City to Mayo is in first class condition. There is plenty of sncw on the ground for all the hauling The citizens both in Keno City and sMayo are in the best of spirits and they are look ing forward to a summer of activity and prosperity.
 MT. Anderson is an cid timer in the north and miner with a wide experience. He has mined in the Cobalt country, and in silver and gold camps all over the continent. Last summer he came up from the lower country for the special purpose of Investigating the Mayo district. He had heard a great deal about it from different sources, and now he finds that it is even more surprising than he expected it to be. MT.

Government Salaries Are
 Low, Causing Much Trouble

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-In his annual report for the fiscal year 1922, the Chief of Appointment Diyi- sion, Department of Commerce, ex- presses opinIion that low salaries e government employees and the re- striotlon placed on promotion by the provisions of statutory positions are largely responsible fer the excessive and therefore expensive turnover ia the service.
 Giving a practical comparison based upon purchasing power, ree3r. ence is made to the fact that Wasle between 1913 and 1921 the cost O. Ewing had increased 5S. per cems. tl.e purchasing power of the wages 0. two large classes of Industrial em- ployees had increased 5l and 80 per cent, respectively. whereas the salar- ies of government employees had rs- ceived no adjustment other than that given by the bonus, which was en. tirely inadequate, providing for 2 max,mun of 90 per cent increase for the lowest paid employee to none ia the case of those receiving $2,740 or more.
 Reclassification and readiustmeat of salaries are given as the prae- tical remedy. The report. also con futes the idea generally prevailing that the average government en- ployee takes 30 days annual and 30 days sick leave every year.
 During the calendar year 1921 only 67 per cent of the departments em. ployees used all their annual leave. and only 1 per cent used the maxi mum of annual and sick leave.

Poland Energetically
 Securing Railroad Cars

WARSAW, Jan. 26-Four steam. CTS are constantly engaged in tho movement of railroad cars across the ocean from the United States to Po- land. Of 7,500 cars bought by Po- land in America last summer, the first shipment was landed in per- feet order. Two more are expected during this month.
 The Poles expect also to get from France part of the rolling stock left by the Germans on French rail- roads, and furthermore the Polish railroad workshops are operating on full time turning out new rolling stock. Thus it is planned to relieve the serious shortage of cars in Po- land, and promote industry.
 The 1922 harvests in Poland show advances over last year. The pro duction of rye increased IT per cent over 1921; wheat 12 per cent, bar ley per cent, oats 19 per cent. potatoes s6 per cent and beet sugar 136 per cent.

accompaniment by Mrs. Nye. The
refreshments were in charge of Mrs.
Bertha Holt and tea was poured by
Mrs. Ellen Sawyer and Mrs. Matte f.
Goodwin.
Mr.. Dunnack's address was upon
"The Quest of the World" and he said
in part:
Before we can find a lost world
we must first of all discover and loose
our world. 1t is evident that ciyili-
zation is the result of an effort TO find
food to satisfy.
/. The hunger of the body for
bread.
2. The hunger OF the heart for
companionship.
3. The hunger of the mind for
knowledge.
4. The hunger of the spirit for God.
Seeking for bread, man found the
by-products, science, medicine, inven-
ton, banking and commerce. Fight
ing for companionship he found his
mate, the home, ethics. music and art.
The quest for knowledge gave him
education. history and literature. His
search for God gave him law, psyco-
logy and theology.
at is evident that the three neces-
sary foundations of permanent civil
ization are economic well being, in
tellectual force and spiritual insight
These three limit the advance or mark
the decline of every life. institution
and government.

perate measures, the race has come
