THOMAS PRICE
of the "Solid" Third

From point about midway between his generous ears to his caudal extrem- ity, his anatomy is traversed by a gel atinous substance which takes the place of the vertabrae which belongs to all other faunal life. His legisla- tive record is one of supine obedience to the predatory interests. He seems to be incapable of thinking for him. self and so delivers his voting prero- gative over to the corporation lobby ists. He explained his vote against the fisheries memorial by saying that he "did not understand it." The fish trust understood it for him. The legis- Iative records show not single pro- gressive vote by MT. Price in all the sessions he has served
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15

wish to take a stand and so they elect ed three reactionaries, Raelson, Daily and Aver and three progressives, Brown, Decker and Wilson. It may be though that the people were deceived because the first three men certainly talk like progressives. They agreed with all progressive measures "in prin- ciple"; and then either worked or vot cd against the measure. Raelson should challenge Jack Dempsey for with his natural shiftiness, he ought to win. In the corridors of the hotel we heard it said many times that if ycu wanted Raelson's vote, it was no use talking to Raelson. "You have to talk to Daly."
 If the people of Nome should think of returning this member to the legis- lature, they might simply give MT. Daly two votes and leave Raelson at home. There is one big thing that Raelson has, however. He has a big voice.
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15
HARRY STASER of the "Solid" Third

A most trustworthy friends of the rich. MT. Staser seems to have no conception of who elected him to of flee. His responsibility seems to be wholly to the big interests. The fish trust, to his mind, is much greater factor in legislative consideration than the independent voters of the Third Division. It is one of the most notice- able facts in nature that she does not endow her creatures equally. Gen. erous mental endowments are often ac- companied with inferior physical gifts. The converse of this is also true. MT. Staser takes a splendid photograph, and that lets him out.
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15
REPRESENTATIVE MURRAY
of the "Solid" Third

We have heretofore had great ad- miration for MT. Murray because he seems to us to have the greatest en- dowment of intellectual power and genius of all those in the House. Dur ing the Session of 1921 he practically dominated that body by his able and cogent arguments. We found him too on subjects that did not concern the monied interests of his district to be a man of great fairness. Even then. however, he seemed on the downgrade.
 Is it cruel for us to ask the elect ors of the Third Division why they persist in sending to the legislature a man who cannot attend to his duties at times because of strong drink? Members of the legislature are i'm mune from arrest else MT. Murray and MT. Chamberlain certainly would have been the guests of Uncle Sam. Is it

KEYS, of the Fourth

A fine Christian gentleman, of whom people said, "Keys is a sincere and honorable man." Indeed he is all Cf that. But he is a man that is absolutely lost in the labyrinth of the legislative maize, From the very first he was bewildered and soon it became apparent that he regarded wealth and "rosition" as being the mark of high character. Years of conflict with the elements of nature have developed sturdy character, but years of separ- atiCn from the class of men who lob- by around legislatures have prevented him from learning their cunning arts. lie does not comprehend the fact that the soiicitous interest these men take m his welfare is only for the time he serves in the legislature He can easily test this fact after his return to private life. His vote usually was with Poster, Murray, Price and Staser. Poor old Reyes. He would serve his country bettre by staying at home. A mouse has no business trying to play games with cats!
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15
THE ALASKA FISHERMAN

any less disgraceful that these men openly broke the law? Does it not give point to thee statements so often made by people not so favorably sit uated when they say that the law is not made for the rich, the influential and their friends?
 We will not say anything about the fact that Mr. Murray was a consistent friend and supporter of the large in terests. He said that it was unjust to compel a mine to pal a tax of more than one per cent on a net pro fit exceeding one million dollars.
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15
w. D. GRANT, of Wrangell

A positive and determined charac ter, elected to serve the people, he does SO consc:entiously and courage ously, His fishery memorial was prob- ably the most important measure pass ed by the legislature of 1923. He de- tended it against the onslaughtg of the friends of the fish trust in the House, knowing that the electorate of hls dlsto-ct was back of him.
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15
CASH COLE, of Juneah

Representative Cole is a young man ot developing ability. A strong char acter, who knows nothing of compro- mise in legislative work. He serves the people and all the people of the First DiWsion
 1t is common knowledge that he is 0elng punished for his independence and devotion to the peoples interest.
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15

he is sound fundamentally. Occasion ally he lacked nerve to express his con victions as in his opposition to the clerk of the House at the last when simple statement of the gratuitous insults of the young women by the clerk would have revealed to the pub iic the utter incapacity and stupidity of that person.
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15
FRANK FOSTER
The "Solid" Third

If you ask what place he halls from, We'll say, in uncouth rhyme, He comes from fair Cordova,
 In the land of Guggenheim If you ask what brought him over, We'll say, in roundelay, He came to serve the fish trust,
 On Territorial pay.
The Alaska fisherman., 1923-05-15
JOHN WILSON
of Nome

Solid and substantial, describes MT. Wilson. He does not know the mean ing of the word evasion. Has the viewpoint of his constituency always in mind when making legislative de cisions.

H. H. ROSS

One of the strong men of the ses- slon. As chairman of the important committee On Ways and Means he played large part in all deliberations. His courage is unprecedented. He is

Spring the Ford Motor company will
have completed an immense new fac

will be one of the finest in Europe,
introducing in that part of the world
new standards in design and opera

The growth of the Copenhagen as

it is now the second largest among
the foreign companies, inst place be-

A total of 10 countries are served
by Copenhagen. These include Dem

For Calamity Howlers

A number Of recent facts help
along the prophecy that motorists
are becoming more careful. even
though many unfortunate accidents
and fatalities are recorded daily. 1t
was freely predicted, fer instance,
that when the crowds journeyed to
the Princeton Harvard football game
i'll November many accidents would
follow and a few innocent people
would come to grief. Yet though the
roads were packed with cars and
much of the driving done after dark
there We're no accidents of sufficient
importance to get front page space in
the newspapers.
The state of Connecticut reported
that though all records for automo-
bile traffic were shattered upon the
occasion of the West Point Yale
football game in New Haven there
We're no major accidents.
This despite the fact that between
the hours of s A. NJ. and s p. NJ. So
923 cars entered and left New Haven.
This is more cars than were operated
in the entire state during 1913.
And now comes the Long Island
railroad to announce that of 1885
motorists observed, 1856 crossed
tracks carefully. Coming from a rail-
road company the facts have even
more significance.
Looks as though the man at the
wheel has at last decided to be sem

The Old Mechanic Saws

Whenever you get chance sneak
a ride in a friends car. Sometimes
the garage man needs help in movin
machines around. Help him. 1t may
mean a lot to you, because the more
cars you drive the better you will
know how to drive your own. q
That's because your own car il
really thrce-in- lone, sometimes a doz
en-in- one. 1t behaves differently I'M
der different conditions. SO unless
you are familiar with your car in it's
various versions you are likely to be
confused to the point of maxim bad
blunders in drivin'.
Haven't you noticed that though
you go through exactly the same pro-
cedure in crankin' the engine each
mornin' the results are not always
the same? One mornin' the engine
will start off with a zip and keep
right on runnin'. Another day it will
stall four times before you can 81
any power out of it.
That's due to the temperature, the
weather. the conditions existin' in the
engine. such as the position of the
pistons, strength of the battery, quail
ity of the fuel. etc. The care you
give the car has a lot to do with it,
too. Thus your car is not always the
same car. from the standpoint of per-
Torrance. and the only way to know
how to handle it under these varyin'
conditions is to have n little practice
on some other cars which represent
the extremes of your cars variations.
ut costs a lot of time and money
to be one car driver"

Company's plant at River Rouge and
brings the company one step further
in its program to control the manu-
facture of practically everything en-

With the new factory in operation
the third and largest glass produc-
ing unit of the company comes into
being and the Ford method of MAX
ing glass. which is a marvel to ex-
perts and which establishes an epoch
in the industry, attains to higher
and more efficient standards.
One furnace is now operating in
the Rouge factory. fires have been
lighted under the second and the re-
naming two, it is expected, will be
going shortly after the first Of the
year. Wien the factory gets in full
operation it will have an annual
capacity of more than 100000
square feet Of glass.
The company's glass plant at
Glassmere, Pa. has an annual out
put Of 100000 square feet while
the smaller plant at Highland Park,
started about four years ago as an
experiment and where the Ford
method of glass making was de-
veloped. daily produces $500 square
feet of glass.
And all this great production is
necessary to meet the manufacture
ing requirements. Of the company
which at present call for more than
ZO,50o,O00 square feet of glass a year.
/ due to the increased production of
'ford cars and the constantly growing
demand for enclosed types.

In many respects trouble Is like
some of the worlds greatest business
organizations. 1t is composed of
various subsidiary troubles which are
often more important than the main
trouble itself. or at least more prom
Using. a motorist may know that
he is having trouble with his engine,
but that is only half the story. There
are many smaller troubles that make
the general trouble possible. and the
solution usually lies in getting after
the subsidiaries first.
This is clearly demonstrated in the
case of the aforementioned engine
trouble. Suppose that the owner
ing and excessive noise. 1t looks like
gigantic order Of trouble that
would call for extensive repairs. yet
the strength of the trouble is really
nothing more than the union of many
lesser troubles which would be in
consequential were they not strength
ed by the support of each other.
Such subsidiary troubles. in the in
stance of the troublesome engine,
might be slipping fan belt, too little
water in the cooling system. rust in
the water, dragging brakes, insult
ficient engine oil, incorrect Oil, too
lean adjustment of carburetor, dirty
spark plugs. incorrect adjustment of
valve tappets. etc. No one of these
troubles would cause any great
amount Of annoyance to the owner,
but united they stand
Whenever it seems to a motorist
that his car suddenly develops some
serious trouble it would be we'll to
analyze the trouble carefully before
rushing to conclusions. The impor-
lance Of the trouble may simply be
the united strength Of its subsidiaries
due to their number.
