"TRADING AT HOME'

A1askans know tr at the position of this papec ;s this: ALASKA FOR ALASKANS. By this we mean that Alaskans should trade at home, But it also means that our resources should be exploited by residents in preference to non-residents whenever possible for example in catching salmon.
 The great exponent of trading at home" is Edward G. Morriss2y of the Ketchikan Chron- icle He goes far in this that he will not accept an advertisement from solicitor.
 "Practice what you preach"
 The Honorable TGr. Morrissey has just re- turned "from Seatt1e' sporting new tailor made suit, new shoes, socks, tie, shirt, collar, hat. coat and for al! know new union suit which he did no- "buy at home" from "rnerchants who pay the taxes" When you get down to brass ta;,s people will buy where they get the best service either as to price

WHO PAYS THE TAXES

The Ketchikan Chronicle says that the mer- chants of Ketchikan pay the taxes ot that city and for that reason Edward G. Morrissey says we should buy everything at home Patron ize the home merchants, Is the cry
 There are many reasons why the home mer- chant will have his customers, but the claim that he pays the taxes of the town is not one ot these Only the most ignorant person, or cheap so- phist (deceiver) would make such statement and trv to make others believe that this Is true
 It is the ULTIMATE CONSUMER who pays the tax. .u+,.o
 He may not get any credit for it, but neverthe less he paws it. We talking with J. K: Hecknoan the other day about taxes when he said Nv taxes this year amount to aoout q|'ooooo And vet it is MT. Heckmans customers Who pay the tax bill not MT. Hickman. Every DuslneS' man adds his tax bill to his costs exactly as ne does his rent and other items ot expense ana +hus he passes it on to MT. Ultimate Oonsu111e
 As for trading at home as against senolng ~ mail order houses, we have little to say w. 1a1;ave that it is good business to encourage competition and can only conceoe Po!n' ,,hen an industry is really an infant ana Stl luS o1;,o +o become established.

 HERRING WASTE
 While the Bureau of Fisheries and the Dis trict Attorney of the First Division of Alaska wondering if the use of herring for fertilizer is wanton waste and contrary to law, the State of of California has acted
 The District Court of Monterey Conty Cali fornia has issued order October IA, 1o25) forbdding the operation for three months of the reduction plant of the Monterey Fish products company. The decision the result of on action brought by the State Fish and Game Commission who charged that the defendants had used some 400 tons of sardnes for other purposes than for human consumption. The same district court has issued an order per. manently prohibiting the company from so operating.
 The Grand Jury last April said that condi- tions in Ketchikan "all right" and Ketchi~ kan clean, decent town.
 The Grand Jury last October said that condi- tions about Ketchkan bad, liquor abound ing and 48 sports living in the decent sections of the town.
 The district attorney of the First Division is quoted as saying that while conditions may b. bad now, they better than they were last April.
 This is funny world. "Where are we at."
 We are told that N. R. Walker asked the K>tchikan Commercial Club the other day why it was that there is generally an unfriendly S rit in the neighborinq districts against Ketchi F~n. This is question that is well worth serious attention.
 The answer is very simple and plain to most pcople. A mere half dozen today control bv force, by bullying and otherwise, the bus- ness of Ketchikan and run it for their own r~oft. Nobody loves a bully
 Even a so-called independent like Alfred Howe, manager of the Tongass Trading Co.,, w',en asked why he wrote the letter asking for a greatly increased tax shipments of fish thru Prince Rupert when he knew it was against the interests of the halibut fishermen, rc oiled, "I had to do it. They made me do it. If did not do it they would have o~"racised me-"

NE w VA VI LENGTHS
GIVEN TO 3 STATIONS

KDKA, while KDKA now operates
on the wave length formerly used by
.WSAI and WMH.
In other words, geographical loca-
ton was responsible for the change.
Under the present arrangement.
which is on an experimental basis, a
station in the East can be placed
much closer to 326 meters with Gin
cinnau stations-on it than would be
the case with Pittsburgh operating
ON it, because of the distance. The
same thing applies to 800 meters;
the radis bureau desires to assign d
wave length close to it to Western
station. Less separation is required
with Pittsburgh on 300 than would
be the case with Cincinnati there.
The purpose OF the realIocation
plan which is gradually being put
into effect is to reduce the separa
ton between stations as much as
possible in order to create new cham
nais for stations which are expected
to require licenses during the next
month or two. AT present the
separation amounts to ten kilocycses.
BY shifting the stations about the
radio bureau hopes to reduce this to
nine, eight or even seven lxilocycIes
All OF the shifts which are being
made are on a purely experimental
basis. If new channels are created
by them without increased interfer-
ence they may become permanent.

MORE MONEY is
ASKED FOR RADIO
INSPECTION WORK
Number Of Employees Is to
Small to Handle
Work.

WASHINGTON Jan. 8. = The
budget bureau, at the request Of
President Coolidge, is considering the
advisabiIiSy Of recommending an adj
ditional appropriation for the radio
inspection service. Hearings have
already been held by the budget
bureau on the matter, and there is
every indication that a favorable re-
port win be made to the President
within a very short time.
If the budget bureau recommends
that more money be appropriated
for the radio service, the recon-
mendatfon probably will be sent to
Congress by the President, where it
is likely to receive favorable con-
sideration.
Additional money for the radio
bureau, it is believed, viii result in
decreased interference. It win en-
able the radio bureau to double its
field force and give 1t a chance to
investigate the thousands of com
plants OF interference which are re-
cdved monthly.

1t is rather hard to understand
why Minnesota newspaper para
graphers and propogandists of the
Minnesota highway commission
should care to give publicity to their
sour grapes attitude towards the
Hudson interstate bridge. Minnesota
had many, many years after automo-
billing came into popular favor in
which to "do something about it,"
but it remained for a set of fore
sighted Hudson people to take the
chance, then deemed by several as
foolhardy, and Hudson now richly
deserves the reward. Minnesota al
lowed motorists to endure the old
nightmareish ferry (alleged) service,
or the choice of even worse around
by Saltwater; the Gophers left the
arteria highways to the Twin Cities
in terrible shape wherever they led
from this section of Wisconsin,; Min
ncsota ignored Wisconsin highway
traffic in every way, forcing action
on this side of the line to make the
Twin Cities accessible to Badger
motorists, and now, enjoying the
fruits of Wisconsin enterprise, Min
nesota pretends to begrudge a re-
ward to those whose enterprise is so
richly beneiting the Twin Cities. At
ter neglecting every opportunity to
assist this traffic all these years the
Gophers will have hard time trying
tc convince anyone of their concern
over the toll prices charged inter-
state motorists now. Many a time
we've heard Gopher as well as
Badger motorists declare they'd
gladly pay far more than they were
then paying if there was decent
way of crossing the ST. Croix, and
now that they have it the old timers,
especially, appreciate it. It's only
too plain that the wall rs an attempt
to divert traffic to some point where
Minnesota may reap in the toll pen
