 Before the Brown report finally receives the approval of the Joint Committee it is to be hoped that it will be revised in many i'm portant particulars. If the revision is to be thorough and in the right direction, its effect will be to put before the next Congress re port that recommends plan of reorganiza- ton that reduces the number of the Executive departments and so reorganize their respective jurisdictions as to improve their methods of administration and make them each and every one an example of that wise economy of which much more is heard than seen at Washington today. Such reorganization would strength en the Executive branch of the Government and restore the Constitutional balance of pow CT for which the country is looking and to which the party in power is pledged. To strengthen the Executive might well be the title of bill to reduce and reorganze the Executive departments.- Transcript.

LESSONS OF A LIFE

The late John Wanamaker was one of the great merchants of the world-a notable win ner of public friendship.
 The modern era of merchandising began with him. So firmly entrenched today is the Zone price to alp policy that it is hard for us to realize that when John Wanamaker made it the basis of his business it was greeted with cries of ''Impossible!"
 Yet so sound was the idea that it spread steadily from the Wanamaker store till it covered the continent
 But this idea and other of the Wanamaker policies couldn't have won their way within single mans lifetime were it not for the still greater idea of advertising. John Wana- maker took the public into his confidence about the one-price plan.
 He took it into his confidence about all the facts of his store and his goods Late in his wonderful career he declared that newspaper advertising was the first essential for com mercial prosperity.
 It is worthy of note that practically all of his advertising was done in newspaper col umns Into this method he poured the bulk of his appropriations. An once he remarked that his best epitaph would be something like this: a}I ssaE &" 70 7, s'! ' Y ss Y. - * B

""This man knew how to advertise'
 When he went into business for himself, his first days sales totalled $24.67 Saving ing he promptly spent the $24 for newspaper |advertising.
 "And,' he afterwards declared, ''it was the best investment I ever made"
 All through his career, moreover, he per |sonally supervised his advertising and wrote much of it himself. Other parts of the busi- ness he left to department heads. He had Ian advertising manager, of course, with many assistants. But the spirit of his advertising, and many of its details, were his own. So vital as this did he consider the place of advertising in his business success. And rich was the harvest it brought him!
 A few years ago Mr. Wanamaker took page space in many newspapers to tell why he ad vertised. Much of what he wrote should be framed above every merchant $ desk. Said he:
 ''Advertising is vital part in our everyday living. just as language is vital part in our everyday intercourse.
 "Stores could not exist as they exist today without advertising.
 Merchandise could not exist as it exists today without advertising.
 ''We should go back to the haggle and bar ter of trade, to the dark and murkv bvwavs of buying and selling as they still exist in the uncivilzed countries of the world, if advertising did not exist.
 ''Without advertising, men would be sus- picioius of one another, would double cross one another in their dealings, would substitute inferior qualities. would ask as high prices as thev could get regardless of the value of an article, would waylay and rob and steal, a thousand times more than they do today because there would be no standards of bus- mess, no standards of interchange of money for products, no standards of distribution, no standards of manufacture, no standards of living.
 "Advertising produces the million tonoued merchant, who can cry his wares to million people as efficiently as the old time merchant could cry his wares to few people bv meet ing them personally in his store. This is bound to reduce costs
 "Advertising is the representative of the people, It is the language of business. which it speaks to the people and helps them to live and work.''
 John Wanamaker's services to business were many and great. The greatest of them will always be his development of advertising as la business factor.

THE PARAMOUNT" INDUSTRY

In refusing to grant a permit to John l.. Ballaine and associates for the erection of a pulp mill at Seward, Secretary Huston of the Department of Commerce declares that the permit is refused because it would inJure the fishing industry, and that this IS paramount to all other industries in Alaska.
 This is an example of the insane rulings holding back Alaska. A pulp mill at Seward would give work to five or six hundred men the year around It would mean a steady in come to this district and would add perhaps one thousand to the population of Seward. The salmon canneries add nothing to Alaska $ receipts save a very small case tax the labor, materials and supplies being brought up from the states and wages paid off at the home port.
 It is astounding how solicltous the depart ments are becoming over the destruction or salmon 50 miles up turbulent stream, when it allows these fish, heavy with spawn to be chased as far up the rivers as boats can go. Nearly every river mouth in the Thlrd D1vl- sion is blocked by nets and traps. preventing fish from entering the streams. Salmon that can swim against the current of Kenai River, could swim up fish ladder over the dams, in case any were permitted to get this far.
 The benefits derived to Alaska by the erec- ton of pulp mills are paramount to those ot Outside fishermen, and should so be considered by the bureaus controlling Alaska. Kenai Lake has never been noted as a red fish hatchery and no measures have ever been taken to preserve it as such until someone wanted to use the enormous power available. The Kenai River empties into the waters of the recently established reserve in Cook Inlet. and the canneries in that vicinity should be closed down by the order if they are pre- venting the fish from entering the river Seward Gateway.

TO STRENGTHEN THE EXECUTIVE

No reorganization of the Executive depart ments at Washington should be undertaken that fails to do two things: First, reduce the the department machinery in the interest of better administration. The reorganization plan submitted by Chairman Brown of the Joint Committee on Reorganization provides for no reduction in the number of departments and leaves open to question whether the ma chinery of administration in several depart ments would be improved should a future Con- gress adopt his recommendations. True, his plan calls for the consolidation of the War and Navy Departments into a newly created De- partment of Defense but his plan also provides for the creation of another new department having jurisdiction over "education, social service and veterans relief.' The most ob- vious consolidation to be expected would ap- pear to be that of the Departments of Con- merce and Labor which ought never to have been divorced. Were these to be consolidated into a newly created Department of Industry the way would then be clear for the Depart ment of the Interior to be reorganized and re named the Department of Home Affairs or of Public Works and Welfare. Were these consultations to be made the number of Elk ecutive departments would thereby be re- duced from ten to eight and thereby the Cab-
 met would become more of council and less of a debating society.
 Doubtless false notions concerning political expediency discouraged the reconciliation of the Department of Commerce and Labor and prompted the recommendation for new De- partment of Education and Public Welfare. No plan of organization, as we believe, stands la ghost of chance of approval by Congress that creates Department of Education and

EXPERIMENTING ALASKA SALMON
summation?

The commission of the Federal Bureau of Fisheries reports that last year the salmon canneries of Alaska packed and distributed throughout the United States and Europe over 5OO0O,O00 cans of salmon, requiring for this huge product and also for local chilled de mand, not less than 7O,O00,O00 of large fish Of course it cannot be expected that this tremendous and increasing drain upon the finest game and commercial fish of either
 ocean can continue without affecting the supply.
 Elsewhere in this issue will be found @ |startling story of the approaching extinction of the Alaska salmon, due to the unsuitable demand of the canners, unless Congress acts
 promptly to establish systematic and rigid control by the Federal Government of the sal
 mon fishing grounds so as to regulate the catch and protect the spawning fish. Thus far, held back by various selfish interests or the Pacific Coast, each one bent only on pres ent profit, Congress has been slow to act An "invest gation' has been ordered. lnvest-
 gation is all right. It is the favorlte indoor sport of Congress and generally leads nowhere Meantime the canneries grow ln number and capacitv and the salmon decrease.
 A few years ago the waters of Puget SounC and the Columbia River were alive wit salmon. That region furnished nearly all the canned salmon demanded by the country From those waters the salmon have now vanished
 SO completely that of last seasons total pack the coasts of Washington and Oregon 1ur- fnished less than 10 per cent. Now the slaught- ar has moved on to Alaska. The Commlsslon- pr of Fisheries, himself a West Coast man and a specialist in salmon fisheries, predicts
 on]v three more years of large pack from
 Alaskan waters and then the rapld decrease of fish toward extinction. This IS serious busness for the whole nation, for winch, and
 especiallv for crowded eastern cities, canned
 salmon is a staple food.
 Secretary Hoover, true to his noteworthy record as a food expert appealed to congress
 a year ago for an adequate law to estaohsh supervision by the Bureau of Fisheres over the number of salmon to be caught and to protect spawning. Congress failed to act, and
 the President at the secretary's request, de c]ared a limited area of Alaskan waters Fed eral reservation; established the total catch therein and apportioned this amount among canners Of course complaint was loud, prlncl- Dallv because no newcomers were allowed.
 The President acted none too soon, but ms plocamation is limited to one year, and lm- mediate legislation is necessary. Unless a well-drawn law is promptly passed the Alas
 kan salmon will practically disappear before 193O Congress should pass an effective blll
 and should pass it quickly.-Boston Herald.
