 You are to be congratulated on the splendid Bone Dry Law you have It is the most efficient law I have seen and I have directed enforcement work at almost literally the four corners of the United States. By it, as you know, nearly every federal official is eX-officio a prohibition enforce ment agent and if they would all take their oath of office seriously there would not be any need for prohibition agents in Alaska, but, as it is, it mustt be said to their credit that the great majority do recognize their re- sponsibility with more or less seri- ousness and are giving splendid CO., operation to Acting Director Means who in turn has produced more than double the liquor cases ever before secured in Alaska and in 90 per cent of the cases has secured convictions, so well has he prepared his cases. Its greatest weakness is the search and seizure feature which has been so construed by some of the courts that t is almost impossible to search private residence unless liquor is pur- chased there, and many bootleggers are just smooth enough to sell it else where. The law should be amended to follow the law of the state of Washington and other states whereby a search can be made on proper in- formation and belief backed by good circumstantial evidence. That law has not been abused elsewhere and it would not be so abused here. Of your court commissioners I have found two who do not take the obligation of their office seriously and assess ade quate fines and jail sentences
 "So far as I can observe the pro- hibition law is better enforced right now is most of Alaska than the laws against gambling or prostitution and yet no one would think of repeating those laws because of their infrac- tions.

HAZELTINE SPEAKS
 ON V0LSTEAD ACT
(Stroller's Weekly).


 F. A. Hazeltine, Divisional Chief of Prohibition Agents who has been in Alaska for the past six weeks or more was a guest of the Chamber of Com merce Of Juneau recently and made a talk which interested the listeners. Among other things MT. Hazeltine said:
 II am here to help raise the price of so-called good booze. Cheap moon shine and home brew are going to take care of themselves and those who drink it. Wl~ile the price of moonshine and home brew can't be expected to advance with better ad- Nancement, because the demand is getting less, those who want alleged bottled in bond and Scotch stuff seem to be willing to pay any price and the price is a fair evidence of the de- gree of enforcement. The price per bottle of such stuff in Alaska seems to range from S10 to SIS which is over three times what the real stuff used to sell for in saloon days. 1 submit that the price alone shows good degree of enforcement. And then look at the stuff they are paying such prices for. I doubt if there is bot tie of genuine bottled in bond Ameri-
 sr- oil ,NlI guarded in warehouses under govern ment control and the supply is gradu- ally getting less as it is supposed 70 be used only for medicinal purposes. It is singular how the same man who vii scan every five dollar bill ne gets when there is a report current that counterfeit five dollar bills are in cir culation but he will accept counterfeit liQuor on faith if the label or his boot legger says it is genuine. In the past six weeks in Alaska I have seen but one lot of so-called good liquor and that was taken from Lungren's shoe shop and two thirds of that was moon shine and synthetic liquor misbrand- ed though it was branded as genuine Scotch. It is a notorious fact that the Scotch distillers are sending out for smuggling purposes their new and raw whiskey because they have no object in keeping up the reputation of their brands in prohibition coun- tries where there is no trade to work up and it is so easy for the bootleg ger to cut a hole in the bottom of the bottle with an electric wire and extract half or all of the liquor and substitute moonshine or cut it with water The labels are all intact but not the contents. Then when l had charge of enforcement work in Flori da recently I discovered that the rum running boats often had big still on board and were manufacturing the imported liquor on the spot and label ling it with the we'll known Scotich brands. In Philadelphia I once cap tured a s3OO.O0O stock of redistilled

tion that they would take care of themselves and those who drink the stuff by calling attention to the poi ssonous nature of the stuff how the amateur distillers would distill ever poisonous fusel oil and aldehydes even under thebest conditions and how they used lead worms, wash boilers with sodered joints and never clean ed the Containers, how frequently dead rats and other vermin, dead hogs hens and other animals were found in the mash and stills located under ma nure piles and in filthy outhouses and that the home brew almost invarably made the consumers sick because it was not only green beer but more es- pecially because it was improperly brewed and the sediment in it would clog up the kidneys.
 In closing he said: Men who have the money to pay ten dollars or more for bottle of so-called good booze

INCOME TAX SECRECY
OPPOSED IN HOUSE

WASHINGTON, March THE
house has voted that its ways and
means committee and the senate fl
nance committee shall be permitted
to inspect the income tax returns of
individuals and corporations. Under
the present law, these records are
carefully guarded.
The proposal caused bitter opposi-
ton. It passed by vote Of 1853 to 100.
One of the leaders against the plan
was Congressman Mills of New York,
who favors the Mellon tax plan. He
charged advocates of income tax pub
licity with having political motives.
He was silenced when Congressman
Wingo replied:
"Browbeating won't get you any
where. would rather be charged
with political motives than with a per-
sonal interest"

and what he says in private are en-
tirely at variance, as those who have
had the privilege of sitting in at his
private seances with the buccaneers
among men industrially prominent
can testify.
There is no question about the fact
that the American Motion Picture
Corporation will eventually oppose
the S-hour day, child labor legisla-
ton, restriction of immigration and
other forward-lool1ing movements of
organized labor just as they will op-
pose the organization of unions. The
owners of Southern textile mills on
the board of the corporation have
no delusions about that, nor have
many of those who have been ap-
preached about assOciating them
selves whit the organization. But
that propaganda is not being disemi-
mated at present; that would be too
obvious for group of men accust-
omed to propaganda methods.
Anti-Union Films to Come Later
The corporation is now trying to
establish a reputation in the trade
for bonafide motion picture features,
because theater owners know that
propaganda pictures sound their own
death knell when they are too bla-
family done and are weary of new
concerns in the field. But even this
is proving an expensive venture. In
ternational Labor News Service is in
formed that none of the distributing
branches is making money.
No anti-union pictures have yet
been shown by Barr's outfit. His
agents have been peddling pictures
of the Community Picture Corpora
tion and the International Church
Film company, two groups with fine
sounding names, which have been
bought up by Barr But an organiza-
tion that is prepared to lose a million
dollars year is worth watching.

FIGHTING CHILD LABOR

Mississippi people think they can
afford $4,000 for protection OF stock
from disease but begrudge $500 for
protecting children from depriva-
ton of school facilities. This speaks
for itself: no need to inquire which
is better cared for.
This is one of the facts which
lend timeliness to the remark of Mrs.
Maud Wood Park. president of the
League of Women Voters, which
was: "If we want to free this gen.
Grafton and the next one from the
stigma of child labor, we must act
now. We must not drift along"
She added:
Il do not believe that the feeling
we all have that the Constitution
must not be carelessly or lightly
added to will ever be lost, but when
we have tried all other ways. when
Congress with the best will in the
world cannot do anything to stop the
industrial slavery of children. a
slavery which has increased terribly

declared contrary to the Constitu-
ton. believe we all feel that in ask

There are others than those who
seek the great st. Lawrence water
way from the Great Lakes to the
ocean who wish to use the waters of
those lakes. Congress is now con-
sidcring n bill which would give au-

thousand cubic feet of water per
second. Indeed 1t appears this is
already being done, although the
permit is for less than 5000 feet

Hair Often Ruined
By Careless WASHING

Soap should be used very care
fully. if you want to keep your hair
looking its best. Many soaps and pre-
pared shampoos contain too much
free alkali. This dries the scalp,
makes the hair brittle. and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoantlt Oil shampoo.
which is pure and greaseless. and is
better than anything else you can
use.
Two or three teaspoonsfuls is
sufficient to cleanse the hair and
scalp thoroughly Simply moisten
the hair with water and rub 1t in. It
makes an abundance of rich. creamy
lather. which rinses out easily, re-
moving every particle of dust, dirt,
dandruff and excess oil. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and it
leaves the scalp soft, and the hair
fine and silky. bright. lustrous, fuzzy,
wayy. and easy to manage.
You can get Mulsified cocoanut oil
shampoo at any drug store: it is in
expensive. and :. few ounces will
supply every member of the family
for months.-Ady.

Who Eoots the Bills

(Monticello Times, Mimi
We've recently heard a few Month
cello citizens who do not own autos
complaining about the enormous
sums of money spent on highway
construction and contending that car
owners are the only ones who bene-
fit. In a measure that is true, but
they are apt to overlook who pays
for the roads. 1t is really the car
owners who must maintain them.
The federal government, for in
stance, reports that it has paid out
s264,7S2,216 on account of Federal
Aid highways, forest road construc-
ton and expense of administration.
But this is not 81 tax on the non
car owner because the government
has collected s5S9,012,0H in taxes
on autos, tires and accessories. This
leaves more than s300,000,000 of au-
tomobile money to be turned into the
treasury to meet other expenses of
the government. In many states Ii
cense fees. gasoline taxes and other
charges-to say nothing of the pro-
perty tax-usually take care of the
road building programs and some
times leave n surplus.
If the non-car owner feels that
better roads aid the auto-owners
and do not help him he should re-
member that the better the roads
the easier 1t is for producers to get
their wares to market. And the
easier it is to market them the lower
thu prices to everyone-car owner
or noncar owner. In fact. there is
no one in the community whom good
roads do not benefit, and the better
the roads the greater the benefit.

MEAT FROM GERMAN NUT

The reports outlining the findings
of the committee of experts of
which General Dawes is a member
are reassuring and refreshing.
There is the suggestion of short
and snappy" about them in place of
long dissertations and illusionary
economics.
The report is said to show that
Gcrmany's railroad system has been
made the best in the world, that
she has improved her ports, her
manufacturing establishments, her
capacity for production, built up
her merchant marine, and SO in
creased the property which should
be subject to taxation. Germany has
no war debt that having been wiped
out by the war, unless she chooses
to assume it, as she might If she
thought thereby she could evade
her foreign creditors.
The experts found evidence of
two billion dollars Mt least deposited
in foreign countries. 1t appears
that at one time this was around
five billions. If Germany will tax
herself as much as does France
she can pay and she is in shape to
do this. with proper attention and
help, such as n moratorium. stab
ilized currency. a loan and economic
unity and effort.
1t looks as though the good sense
of these experts has at last found
the way If Germany will but find
the willard if she won't there's
nothing. ahead of her save trouble.
