Without doubt it will await the
action of the Senate on the Italian

disposition on both sides to regard the
issue in the Senate as having a direct
bearing on the tack to be taken by
the forthcoming French negotiations.

Should the Senate ratify the Ital-

the approval of the Italian haria-

here will be clearer for considerations
of he French obligation than should
the Senate dISaVoW the action Of the
American Debt Commission and again
throw open the whole question OF the
Italian settlement.
1t is no secret that for some time
there has been anxiety on the pari
of American officials as to the prob
able outcome of the Senate vote. At
one time this amounted to real ap-
prehension, but a change in the stu
alton on the hill seems to he re-
f1ected in the more optimistic Senti-
ment evident recently az the other
end of Pennsylvania avenue.
While it was said at the Treasury
today that Ambassador Bt renger had
not made any recent new uNertures
to this Government. there was the
added intlmation that officials did not
desire to discuss further the poSSibii-
ties for the immediate future. This
led to considerable speculation as to
just how much the American commits
sioners know ALREADY as to the at

possibilities of early resumption of the

AN APPEAL TO REASON

Tn the political campaign for 1926 the entire burden of the argument of the opposition IS that the "whites must vote for Tom Marquam and certain others against Dan Sutherland and the regular Republican ticket because the Natives ot Alaska prefer Sutherland"
 Is there single other reason advanced?
 Not single word about the policies which they stand for. Not hint to what measure they will vote for. They have no platform.
 We have reprinted a few of the most rabid appeals to prejudice because we believe that these appeals should get much publicity as possible. It will make votes for Dan Sutherland and the regular Republican ticket, The reason able citizens of Alaska cannot be starnpeded by appeal to their passions
 The "Independent Tom Marquams Platform"
 If Tom Marquam and his gang should win majority of the legislature, they will repeal our primary laws, Is that your wish? They want return to the "convention system," to the days when proxies were bought and sold like butter and eggs. If charges are not true, Johnny Walker" Troy and His "Me Too" Morrissey will deny it. But they are true.
 The Regular Republicans
 These men, Will Steel for Senator, Paul. Ferguson, Benjamin and Worth for the House in the first Division, elected by the Repub- icans in open and fair contest and without the need of Indian votes."
 Their Platform
 So far as can interpret them, they stand for a and conservative administration of their trust, without regard to race or color, but
The Alaska fisherman., 1926-07-15

Taxation
 They believe that those who exercise a monoply should pay tax commensurate with their privileges. They believe the burden ot taxation should not be placed upon the bona hde resident of Alaska who at present is barely making both ends meet.
 They believe therefore that the present system of taxation sponsored by Representa- tive Ross of Fairbanks should not be changed unless it should be to tax the fish traps accord ing to the catch instead of by flat rate as at present.
 Home Rule
 They believe that the present powers ot Alaskans to rule themselves should be exercised to the fullest extent and that the policy or turning over the internal affairs of Alaska to federal officers is wrong.
 Primary Election Laws
 They believe that the Convention System of nominating candidates for public office has been demonstrated to be corrupt and in Alaska where distances great that the proxy system is inevitable, it necessarily results Tn the "bargain and sale" system which so clearly demonstrated at the last convention held under that system at Cordova.
 Fish Hatcherie,
 They opposed to fish hatcheries in principle. But they believe that until 1t has been proven that such system can bring back commercial fish, it is a waste of the public's money for this Territory to continue the bus mess.
 The experiment of hatching fish in Alaska has been of proven failure for over thirty years Since the Bureau of Fisheries will tinue the two federal hatcheries in Alaska, it is wasteful duplication for Alaska to tax its business for this purpose.
 Fox Farming
 The regular Republicans believe that fox farming should be encouraged. To this end, they

DODGE BROTHERS MAKE
new NOVEMBER RECORD

Retail deliveries of new passenger
cars and trucks by Dodge Brothers
dealers in the United States and Can
ada during the first three weeks point
to a November record far ahead of
that established during the same
month last year. Retail sales during
the period from November 1 to No
vember 20, the official report from
the factory at Detroit shows, are 24.8
per cent above the figures for the
same period in 1925 and 81 per cent
ahead of those for the same three
weeks of 1924.
Popular approval of the recently
announced improvements is clearly
indicated by the increases in retail
deliveries recorded in many of the
larger cities of the country. In the
New York City territory, for exam
pie, 1929 per cent more cars were de-
livered during the first three weeks
of November this year than during
the corresponding weeks of 1925. The
corresponding gain in Detroit and its
suburbs was 1929 per cent and in
Minneapolis 1868.

TRUTH IS STRANGER THAN FICTION

We believe the majority of mankind intend
to be Greatly want to be) truthful, but there
is something in all of us that somehow urges
us to exaggerate.
We start to tell a story of something that
happened; the size of the fish we caught how
hot or cold it was, the sunset we viewed, or
the storm we passed through, and before we
know it we have piled it on so thick that our
listeners smlingly shrug their sholders and
discount our story at least so percent.
Anything and everything along publicity
lines today seems to be startlingly affected
with this refrigeration complex" and we be-
lieve the time is now ripe for somebody to
make tremendous big advertising hit by tell
ing in simple language just what their product
is, what it will do, what they guarantee it will
do, and having done this, refrain from "paint-
ing the lily or indulging in any illogical exag-
gerations.
+. L. Barnum painted an elephant white and
got away with it, but in our judgment, red ink
and loud talk in advertising have lost their
potency.

Sneaking of Trees

How many know that the perslm'
mon tree is very valuable? Its fruit
has been held in such low estimation
that perhaps we do not properly val
lie the tree. It's wood product is par
ticularly fitted for some uses SUCH as
shoe lasts, golf-club heads and smut
Ties for textile mills because OF lts
nronerties of hardness, toughness and
f;neness of texture and smoothness
with wear. combination that few
other woods besides the dog wood
nossess. Persimmon wood has been
in high demand for number OF years
and commands a higher price than
most other native woods of the Unit
cd States. At one time Turkish box
wood was the only wood used for
shuttles. After 1880 when roller
skating became a craze, such large
use of this wood set the manufacture
ers looking for substitute woods
Then it was that dogwood and per-
simmon came into favor so that ~
percent of all the dogwood and 81
percent of all the persimmon WOOD
produced goes into shuttle blocks.

ON
\ THINGS
Christmas Trees
Mz By M

This is the season when forestry
experts and all people interested in
the preservation of the woods, get
concerned over the vandalism practic-
ed by otherwise we'll meaning folks
who go out and ruthlessly uproot and
carry away for selfish use, young
holly trees or shapely trees by the
roadsides, justifying themselves in
their own consciences that it is q
necessary part of Christmas. There
is a wise and satisfactory way to get
the large supply of Christmas trees
that afford such delightful feature
of Christmas. But some little knowl-
edge and care should be exercised in
the place and choice of trees that are
to be taken. The woods do not suf-
fer when proper thinning is done
and the rules of forestry are not vio-
lated by such advised methods. There
are trees enough for everybody right
on except for thoughtless. selfish,
ways of appropriating them. The
holly however, bids fair to become
extinct at the present rate of de-
struction. Several southern states
are already denuded of a once COM
mon shrub, and Georgia had better
"look to her holly" if a like condl-
ton does not befall her soon.

GOOD FELLOWSHIP

One thing that helps make good feeling in a
town, is for people to form the habit of speak
ing pleasantly to their neighbors. Some folks
will go downtown year after year and see GER
tain people whose faces they recognize, but
they never speak to such ones. That makes a
town feel cold and aloof.
If these distant hammered persons were ask
ed why they did not speak to someone with
whose face they were perfectly familiar, they
would remark that they had never been intro
duced. In Fitzgerald that should not be neces-
sary., The fact that two people are citizens
here should indicate that they have things in
common and mutual interests that they will
like to talk about together. Good fellowship
does wonders in building up a town.

I have not done my full duty nor contributed
my full share?
Have merely been staying in Fitzgerald
or have I been living here. Have been mere
" resident of Fitzgerald, or have been one
of it's citizens?
Have as a business man in the community
been Icing back and letting the other business
men in the town do all the advertising ana
not doing any advertising to stimulate business,
but relied upon my neighbors to do it all and
reap the benefits of their efforts to bring the
trade to the city?
Why should not realize what the other
fellow has been doing, and resolve to do my
share of the boosting for the community this
new year?
Here is the community test, real test OF
citizenship. How many of us can make
satisfactory passing grade?

Darnrosch Should Know

No higher authority on music sub
iects can be found in this country
probably than Walter Damrosch Sc
long symphony orchestra director
of worldwide fame. He takes issue
with the assertions of an English mu-
steal composer and an English pub
Usher that radio is killing music in
Great Britain. Mr.. Damrosch said
in refuting this idea II am 5000
miles away from England but I know
several things about England and
about music" Briefly there were the
points given: can impoverished no
bility has been forced to withdraw
it's former support of music, a les
SEEMING during twenty years induced
by strike and labor troubles and a
flattened pocketbook, not by the in
vention of radio which is so recent.
Art must be subsidized, symphony or
chestras must always be underwritten
for they are losing ventures as bust
ioes c:.::tc-nricc, and will be for a
number of years until music takes its
proper place in the world. There
is moneyed class in England now
but these are the newly rich people
who have not yet begun patronage OF
the arts as they will later when cul-
ture comes with association. This
financial aspect it is, rather than ra-
dio which makes music in England at
the present time to have apparently
lost it's hold. Damrosch expects ra-
dio to bring about a renaissance OF
music not only in England but in the
world for the majority of people
must hear music more to appreciate
it, and radio will tend to cultivate
this love.

FITZGERALD SHOULD CELEBRATE

The announcement coming from Washing
ton of the approval for the change in owner
ship of the A. B. & A. to the Atlantic Coast
Line should be cause of rejoicing for the
people along the line, especially for Fitzgerald
and Ben Hill county. While no definite an
nouncement by the new owners has been
made it may be stated with some assurance
that Fitzgerald will be largely benefited by
the change The increase of railroad busl-
ness both freight and passenger, which the
new road will have to carry due to its connec-
ton with the A c. L. will necessitate larger
personnel in the transportation department,
and of cource much larger force at the local
shops, if only to care for the normal increase
in repair and replacement which are sure to
result.
Another feature, which is Of more direct
benefit to the hundreds of employees Of the re-
ceiver, is the certainty that with the change in
ownership and the discharge of the receiver
ship, the standard wage scale in effect on the
lines of the Atlantic Coast Line will become
operative on the line of the A. B. & A., which
has been paying the lowest scale of wages OF
any road of similar size and Importance. No
announcement has yet been made as to the
date when the change of owners will take
place, but it is expected to take effect at a
very early date 1927 holds out great posi-
bilities for Fitzgerald.
