Bristol Bay Correspondent Sends In a Lively Letter

spIlHS or year, and many natlVeS and others will be hard run for food when this law is enforced. Alaska is the matching grounds for millions of water fowl and the residents are more entitled to them than the veal they sportsmen, who control vast areas in the States, and slaughter them in the winter merely for sport.
 Prohibited Killing Bear.
 There should also be a law prohi- biting hunters from coming to Alas ka and killing bear and other game for sport. In the first place, no game should be killed except where needed for food. In the second place, the game of Alaska should be pre- served for Alaskans, and not slaugh- tered by wealthy hunters, as is the case at present. This year there were a number of these hunters who came to Kodiak, False Pass and other places on the peninsula with their retinue of cooks, guides and valets to hunt bear, merely for pleas ure and no doubt they will live on caribou which are plentiful at these places.
 Prospectors At 1t.
 There were about twenty prospec- tors, most of them old timers at the game, searching for gold dust last winter on Wood River lakes, way up the Nushagak and Mulchatna rivers. None of them is said to have discov- cred anything except Ole Nelson who has good prospect on the Mulchat- na and has already gone back to get up to the head of the creek.
 Preserves Spawn Instead
 Dennis Vim, now head of the Blu reau of Fisheries for Alaska, came to the Nushagak river five years ago, and instead of setting nets and try ing" to count the salmon that go to the lakes, which never was of any benefit, at once put his men to work killing the salmon trout and water fowl that prey on the spawn of the salmon and his efforts are already showing results as evidenced by the good runs of salmon the past two years. This is step in the right direction, but the Government should go still further and use the revenue which is derived from tax ing the pack of the canneries, and install and run hatcheries, wherever they can be operated successfully in the different regions of the Alaska coast

Socialism by Indirection.

President Coolidge asked the federal and
state tax experts assembled in conference in
Washington to evolve more simplihed and
economically sound method OF raising reve-
nues. He argues there should be economy in
income Of revenue as well as outgo.
The overlapping of federal and state in
heritance taxes, he says, has resultd in sit
uation that amounts to virtual conhscaton-
wherein in many cases the total taxes levied
may exceed the total value of the estate.
the president reiterates the belief he ex-
pressed last year when he signed the revenue
act that the government withdraw from the
field OF taxation. He points out that in the
past the government has sought revenue from
estate taxation only in time of war emergen-
cy, and that it always has withdrawn when
the emergency ceased to exist.
Referring to the action Of congress in not
only continuing but actually increasing the
rate on this form of taxation, the president
saws: "If we are to adopt socialism it should
be presented to the people OF this country as
socialism, and not under the guise of law
to collect revenue The people are quite able
to determine for themselves the desirability
of particular public 'policy and do not ask
to have such policies forced upon them by
indirection."

Sapping the Small Towns.
From the Commerce News.

It is already that automobiles and good
roads are sapping the life blood OF the coun-
try towns. If it ever comes to pass that this
country is belted by hard surfaced roads the
average country town will find itself serious
ly handicapped Is there any remedy? II so,
what is it? We have one in mind that we
may suggest one OF these days.-Commerce
News.
Commenting on the above The Dawson
News says:
We do not, of course, know what our
Commerce contemporary has in mind. but
if it has a remedy for the situation to
which it calls attention it should let it be
known at once. 1t could have with equal
truth mentioned one other thing which is
badly hurting the smaller towns-the
cheap parcel post rates, which extend the
market of the great mail order houses OF
the big cities to every town and hamlet
in the country. Between the two the
merchants of the country towns have lost
very large part OF their trade, and many
of them are being forced out OF business.
In truth the merchant of the smaller or
so-called country town has fallen on hard
lines When his neighbors have cash to
spend they go or send elsewhere and
when they buy on credit they patronize
him.
Mr.. Nevin, of the Atlanta Georgian car
above in which he took the position that paw
ed roads will not damage the small towns.
We are not in agreement with Mr.. Nevin 5
position. The effect OF good roads, such as we
have, is already in evidence, as related to
the small towns. Even with poor soiled roads
trade that was hitherto given to the home
merchant is going to the trade centers. 1t is
an every day affair With the automobile and
fairly good soiled roads shoppers are going
to the large cities. They can drive so to 100
miles, do their shopping and get back home
the same day. If that is true with soiled roads
what may we expect when we get paved
highways And, what is the remedy we had
in mind? 1t is this: The home merchant must
carry what the people want if he expects to
hold their trade Not only must he carry
what they want, but he must let them know
he has it through the columns of the local
paper The local merchants may not believe
it, but when the merchants in the trade cen
ters carry what they want and when they
put the advertisements in the papers every
day in the week. if this is not met and offset
by a similar policy on the part OF the home
merchant the patronage he once enjoyed will
be absorbed by business men who carry COM
pete stocks and advertise them

The U. S. Senate.

The New York Times appears to be out
of patience with the United States senate,
and derides it with ill-concealed contempt. 1t
points out that the senators, while writhng
under the lash of Mr. Dawes, has chosen for
president pro tempore Mr.. Moses, who often
has Aouted the senate to its face and ire
ouentlv and shamelessly tweaked the COM
posite senatorial beak 1t alludes to the SEN
ate as that majestic mausoleum," and affirms
that nothing is so serious, so solemn as the
senates conception OF itself. Worse than that
it characterizes the senators as masters OF
the palace OF palaver" and the senate as
cave OF the winds Indeed, the Tins is
somewhat shameless in its disrespect for SEN
atorial dignity By the senator's doubtless,
the Times will be regarded as insoent, to
say nothing OF being imperitnent. They will
be unable to understand its lack OF esteem for
one OF our sacred institutions.
1t is not beyond the truth to say that very
many people in the country share the view
OF the Times 1t should do the senate some
good to learn what the people think about it.
1t would greatly profit the senate il it could
see itself as it is seen by the country.
1t is apparently the desire of the senate
to be the whole thing in government, but
the country does not by any means regard it
as the whole thing, nor does it desire it to
become So What a government we would
have. il we had nothing but the senate! The
country shudders at even the contemplation
OF it,
The senate will get very little public SYM
pathy as it squirms under criticism, for the
public is quite likely to conclude that the SEN
ate has it coming.

Time to Wake Up.

Diversihcation of manufactures is just as
important to the town and city as is the di-
versihcation of crops to the farm. There can
be no real prosperity without both.
This section has begun to realize the neces-
sity of diversified agriculture, but is making
little, if any, progress along industrial lines.
If Dawson gets needed industries of any kind
it will be mere accident. Outside capital
is timid 1t never butts in" To secure indus
trial plants it will be necessary for Dawson
people to get busy on special inducements
to go after them.
That other towns and cities are going al
ter industries in earnest is made plain by de
velopments in various progressive towns
where inducements are offered.
1t is time for Dawson to wake up and act.
We cannot afford to sit idly by and dry up
on the stalk"

The Changing Consumer.
From the Fitzgerald Herald.

Trade figures show marked changes in the
habits of the American people. Here are a
few of them, mentioned by Theodore ii.
Price editor of Commerce and Finance:
We are buying less furniture, less meat,
fewer hats and shoes, more fruit, more sugar
and candy and more coffee and tea. All OF
these are significant as regards the consum-
ers' manner of life and all of them involve
big business changes
People are buying less furniture, apparent
", because they are living more in apart
ments that require less They are buying
less meat because they are being converted,
for health reasons, to a diet containing more
fruit and vegetables. They are buying fewer
hats and shoes because riding much in
automobiles they need them less-and need
their hat and shoe money to buy gasoline.
They are eating more sweet stuff and drink
ing more tea and coffee because these are
natural substitutes for alcohol.
Some of these changes are obviously good,
especially lighter diet and elimination OF
alcoholic drinks The diminished consump-
ton of hats and furniturs need hardly be
lamented except by the makers and dealers
in these commodities. But there ought to be
mJbre shoes worn out, giving the wearers a
more wholesome by-product of exercise than
they get behind steering wheels; and there
ought to be less sugar eaten, for the good
of the nations stomach and other internal

Nature answering the ardent wooing OF

the drab chrysais of its winter home will

Futurism in Cosmetics.

Mere man may wonder today, groaning in
his misery just what he could have done to
the beauty artists to deserve the punishment
they are about to heap upon him this season
by making his wife, his daughter his mother
in-aw and his grandmother appear as walk
ing advertisements Of dye factories. But
mere man, still groaning, still in misery, still
in ignorance OF the cause, gets no farther
than the realization that the next phase OF life
through which he must pass, helpless in his
agony, is one OF futurism in cosmetics. Red
der cheeks than ever, lips more carmine,
painted ears, nostrs and eyebrows are on
the way Mere man might as well take for
the tall. uncut timber and stay there until it
is over If he doesn't life for him will be one
perpetual nightmare for he will be sure to
get more gargoyes than successfully painted
lilies.
The French have not paid their debt to the
United States. 1t might have been better il
that obligation had been Cancelled in the be-

of those passing phases" but none ever
could explain why all humanity must witness
it, or why the so-called beauty artists should
be permitted to live after what they have
done It's tough life whether one weakens
or not; and there's one thing certain which
does not apply to motor cars-some OF the

Good for the South.

The Savannah Press notes that report
recently issued by the federal government
shows that the value of the agricultural prod
ucts in the 10 southern states in 1924 was
$4,212,870, hundred per cent gain over 1922.
The estimated increase III wealth of these
same states since 1922 was $51 $4,000,
and that amount is almost double the wealth
OF those states in 1912.
The fact that we live in the south and that
the south is the section with the greatest de-
velopment at the present time is enough,
thinks our contemporary, ito give the
courage of our convictions to stay put"

What Has "Ruint" Georgia?
From the Wilkes County Forum.

How often have you heard the above from
the press of the state and the street corner
gossipers? g.
Does any one with fair degree OF intelli-
eence think that boil weevils, detiation, au-
tomobiles, frolicking and idleness have had no
hand in the running" process? Surely not.
What has busted so many banks, cotton lac
tors, warehouses, merchants and other indus
tries of the state? Surely politics cannot be
accused of being the main factor.
What has caused Georgia to jump her taxes
in a few years from nine million to sixteen
millions? What caused cotton to fall from 40
cents to 20 cents?
The state is said to have expended at least
one hundred and twenty-five millions OF dol :
lars for automobiles and gas during 1924 Pol
itics certainly could not have had much OF a
hand in this expenditure.
People hunt for an excuse to attach a
blame, and politics appear to be the nearest
rack to hang it on.

Our Country Still Best.
From the Manufacturer.

Big BIZ Haywood would rather come to
America and face prison than to stay in the
communistic Russia of his muddled dreams.
Emma Goldman, sick at heart over the fail
ure of the soviet oligarchy to give or even
dream peoples government, wants to come
home" to the land she said she despised.
Theodore Petroff, a vulgar swindler caught in
Wisconsin, pleads for life Imprisonment in
this country rather than deportation and
freedom in Russia.
Only the blind man will say that everything
is "all right" in our country. There are many
things that need fixing; things that need the
Golden Rule and the rule OF common sense
and the teachings of experience. But it is
still the best country. 1t be made still
better when more realize this in the same
sense that any sovereign realizes the respon-
sbility for the charge committed to his care.
More active participation in every public
move, an intelligent vote in every primary, a
realization that every broken law is a per-
sonal assault on the national life would great
ly improve social and political conditions in
country.

Giving a Fellow a Lift.
From the Ocilla Star.


Giving fellow a lift when he needs it is
a thing that any man with spark OF fellow
feeling desires to do. This is the Golden
Rule. Doing unto Others what you would
have them do for you if circumstances were
reversed is the very spirit OF Christianity.
And yet taking up pedestrian on the road
and giving him a ride is now very dan
gerous thing to do.
So many cases are coming UP where a
kindly disposed man takes into his automo-
bile some man who is walking, only to be
knocked in the head and robbed that of ne
cessity that practice must be stopped.
The most recent case is that OF Prof. w
c. Wright, of Eatonton, a Christian gentle
man who was going about over the county
of which he was county school superntend-
ent, when he was asked for a ride, and gen
tleman that he was took up some one who
killed hm and took his car. Three suspects
are now held in jail awaiting trial
Two other young men are charged with
the wanton murder of an old man who gave
them a ride i'll Taylor county They were
tried found guilty and sentenced to hang, but
were saved for the present by technicallty
Cases are constantly occurring OF robbery
under similar circumstances.
There are few more heinous crimes than
that of assaultng and robbng man who is
practicing the Golden Rule.
The courts should deal speedily and firmly
with all such cases. Maudlin sentimentality
should find no place in the minds OF the re-
sponsible officials There is ample law to dea
with such cases. and when such an migrate
is found to be guilty there should be no len
ency shown.

mild form OF influenza, has been observ-

The talk that an income tax would relieve
other tax burdens may be accepted as bosh.
The experience with taxes in Georgia is that
they grow every time new tax reform
law is adopted. The way TO reduce taxes in
Georgia is not to devise new methods OF tax
alton but to spend less.
