is IT RIGHT LEGISLATING
PRICES?

''The McNary- Haugen or Agricul-
tural Export Bill, now before Con-
gress has been endorsed by National
or Local Farm Bureaus, Farmers I'm
ions, Livestock Association, Wheat
Growers, Clearing Houses, Cotton
Growers, Commercial Associations
and Bankers throughout the United
States, said Representative John w.
Summers, Chairman of the Farm
Export League who has issued the
following questions and answers re-
garding the measure:
What is the purpose of the McNary-
Haugen Export Corporation Bill?
To equalize the farmers dollar
with the other mans dollar.
How will it accomplish this purpose :?
By the establishment of an export
agency to handle wheat and other
major farm products if and when
necessary, under provisions which
will maintain legitimate prices.
Does this mean the Government is
going into the general farm market
ing business?
1t will operate through regular
channels, and deal only as necessary
to maintain proper prices.
Will it destroy cooperative market
ing?
1t will encourage cooperative mar
keting by assisting cooperative as
sociations in task which they. can
not accomplish without such aid.
What effect will it have on the mill
ers?
1t will relieve millers from the
danger of serious price AUCTIONS,
due to speculation Or other cause.
What will it do to present prices of
farm products?
1T will increase present prices of
wheat about 40 cents bushel, corn
and hog prices about 90 per cent,
cattle about 80 per cent. Cotton
at present prices would not be affect
ed but if prices should sag as in
1920 then the bill would concern
cotton similarly with other pro-
ducts.
Will it increase production?
Not more than profitable prices
for farm products secured by any
other means, and profitable prices
must be obtained unless American
Agriculture is to perish.
How does it affect business and
banker?
America is an agricultural nation.
The success of all depends on the
success of agriculture The Nc
Nary-Haugen Bill means success
for agriculture.
Is it fair to other industries?
Exactly. Under the bill farm prices
increase only as prices for other
products increase. 1t does for the
farmer only what other legislation
already is doing for other indus
tries.
The McNary- Haugen Bill is being
considered by Congress now. 1t is
the duty of everyone interested to
formulate his opinion on this pro-
posed legislation and write the Re-
representatives. and Senator'S from this
State at Washington, D. C. AT

MORE ADJUSTMENTS BY THE
 POWERS


 Four members of the Order of Pioneers of Wrangell who were em- ployed as stream watchmen last sea- son by the Bureau of Fisheries have been notified that their services will not be required this season.
 These men had the courage to join with other members of the Wrangell Pioneer Igloo in protesting against the fishery reservation sys- tenn and as consequence they lost their jobs. It was always thus and always will be as long as twenty two caliber, short slug individuals are permitted to supervise the AL askan fisheries.

the action of your warden in placing the "dead line" at Salmon Bay a distance of 1000 yards from the mouth of the creek as marked by low tide is UNLAWFUL.
 Your statement that it was so placed without thought of discrimi- nation against any fisherman may satisfy your conscience, but fisher men will see in your agents unlaw full act, continuation of your gen. eral discrimination against the little fishermen. As for the opinion of Senator Jones and Cong. Hadley and Com. O'Malley that the line should be still farther out, cannot find anywhere in the law of 1906 under which you operate anything that would indicate that prohibited dis tricts for fishing should be deter mined by the opinions of these getle- men.

DOES A HIGH SCHOOL EDUCA-
 TON PAY?

Much has been said about the value of education in character build ing, culture, health, and all that goes to make up we'll rounded life Aside from the idealistic trend, the value of education in dollars and cents is something we'll worth loqk- ing into.
 It is coming. more and more that a mans chances in life are poor in- deed without the formal training given in the public educational insti- tutions of the United States.
 MT. James M. Dodge, former pres ident of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, calculated the financial value of different grades of education by comparing the. earning capacities of common labor, shop apprentice trained men, trade school graduates and technical school graduates. He found the education of the common laborer worth $10,2O0, that of shop apprentice $15,8O0, that of trade school graduate $25,- GOO, and that of technical school graduate $43,OOO.
 Studies at Springfield, Mass, and Brooklyn brought out the facts that uneducated laborers earned on the average $500 a year and that high school graduates earned on an aver age $1,OOO per year.
 Computed on basis of forty working years the high school edu- cation added $2O,OOO to mans earn. ing power Since there were 2,16O school days involved, each day was worth $9O2.- Selected.

Dear Sir:
 Receipt is acknowledged of your letter of September IA, in regard to the blue fox regulation, more parti- cularly in regard to the seizure of blue fox skins against which you protested in previous correspondence with the Bureau. This matter was referred to the Solicitor of the De- partment and he rendered an opin-. ion under date of July 5. A copy of this opinion was forwarded to Chief Fur Warden Walker with in- structions to advise you. It seems possible that MT. Walker overlooked it.
 The sum and substance of the opinion of the Solicitor is as fol- lows:
 "Where the proof is clear and readily available that skins were ta- ken illegally, the Governments agents may seize them if in doing so no breach of the peace is conn mitted, and may dispose of them in any lawful manner, usually, l would say, by sale for the benefit of the Federal Treasury; that where the proof is not clear, seizure should not be made, but an information in the nature of a libel for seizure for condemnation and forfeiture should be filed; that where it is deemed not advisable for any reason to in- stitute criminal proceedings or file an information in the nature of libel, seizure should not be made; that where seizure has been made and it is deemed inadvisable to in stitute either criminal or civil action, the skins should be returned to the person from whom they were taken; and that where the skins have al- ready been seized, but the evidence of illegal taking is not clear, libel should be filed"
 Since our previous correspondence the fur law regulations have been completely revised. I am enclosing herewith for your information copy of the new fur regulations which be- came effective September 1, 1923.
 Very truly yours,
 w. c. HENDERSON,
 Acting Chief of Bureau.
