Mayor Of Chicago
Drafts Librarians
To Burn the Books

CHICAGO, Ot.c 24.-Mayor William
Hale Thompson's war against Great
Britain continued to hum on four def
mite fronts today. With Napolconic
vigor, Chicago's mayor stalked at the
head of his legions and aimed straight
for the lions jaws. Meanwhile moth
ing is being done to relieve a growing
tension of unemployment in Chicago,
which even Thompson's antics do not
hide.
Carl B. Roden, head of the Chicago
Public Library and president of the
American Library Association, an
nounced he would give Mayor Thomp-
son every assistance in his drive to
purge the library of unpatriotic texts.
Ungrateful to McAndrew.
The trial of William McAndrew,
suspended superintendent of schools,
who is accused of furthering pro-
British influences in the schools, will
be resumed today with Congressman
John J. German in the role of chief
prosecution witness. German was APP
pointed by Mayor Thompson to in
vestigate the suspected school history
books. McAndrew is as reactionary
as Thompson but belongs to another
business group.
viii Burn Books.
Mayor Thompson today instructed
Frederick Rex, municipal reference
librarian, to clear his files of all pro-
British texts.
A similar drive, under the personal
direction of U. J. "Sport" Hermann,
is in full blast at the main public
library and its branches. All of the
books he doesn't like Mayor Thomp-
son says, will be gathered together
and taken to the lakefront where they
will be burned with fitting ceremonies.
A bill for an injunction to restrain
Mayor William Hale Thompson, U. J.
Hermann, member of the library
board, Corporation Counsel Samuel
Ettelson and Librarian Carl Roden
from disposing Of books which may
be found in the Chicago public library
was filed in circuit court here this
afternoon. Edward j. Boham, who
represented himself as a taxpayer and
the father of three school children,
brought the action.

REVOLT OF SMALL
TOBACCO FARMERS
GROWING RAPIDLY
Big Protest Meeting. at
Winston Salem, N. c.

WINSTON SALEM, N. c. (FP) Oct.
24.-The farmers revolt against the
tobacco trust continues. Thirty-five
hundred growers assembled in the
Liberty Warehouse in Winston Salem
for showdown with the Big Five
Tobacco buyers who had been invited
to attend and explain why prices to
the farmers had been cut in half in
view Of the record profits the trust
made last year.
This is the second big mass protest
of the farmers in a week. These to-
bacco growers of the Piedmont are in
great distress and many of them will
be sold out for taxes in the coming
winter and driven to the wage earn
ers' life in the cities. Tobacco is the
money crop in this region. The sales
of Bright Leaf weed bring the credit
for the flour and groceries to carry
the farmers family through the
winter; they bring the shoes for his
school children and the fertilizers this
exhausting crop requires. In poverty
at best the farmers face disaster with
their tobacco selling for only half to
of the cost Of produc-
ton.
Trusts Boycott Meeting.
But not single representative of
the Big Five came to the meeting.
Leggitt Myers, the Imperial, and the
Export companies failed to answer;
American Tobacco Co. said the mat
ter had been referred to it's New York
headquarters; r. j. Reynolds & Co.,
makers of Camels and kings of Wins
ton Salem, promised vaguely to meet
a committee of the growers at a later
time. Gov. Mclean of North Carolina
turned down the invitation sent him.
Unfortunately no definite steps to-
wards organization of the farmers
took place though there was plenty
of denunciation of the tobacco trust.
U. S. Attorney F. A. Linney of Boone
who addressed the gathering talked
of prosecution under the Sherman
antitrust Law. Linney brought
laughter from the farmers when he
said that if he were selling spotted
pig to a market consisting of five
buyers and he found that each one
offered him exactly the same price
he would be justified in thinking
they were in an agreement against
his interests.
Raise Price a Little.
AS to the Sherman law remedy
some of the farmers remembered that
the tobacco trust had already been
dissolved by a supreme court decree,
and the units of the trust, the Big
Five, worked together like single
organization against the tobacco
farmer none the less.
The result of the last weeks agita-
ton, however, has been to raise
prices little. Weed averaging only
10 cents pound is now bringing II
cents-but this price is still below
last years and below the cost of pro-
duction.
Big Profits.
Net profits of R. J. Reynolds &
Co. last year totalled $26,000,000, in
addition to an $8,000,000 tax refund
from the U. S. government. Ameri-
can Tobacco profits exceeded $22,000,-
600 and Liggett & Myers had nearly
$18,000,000. The figures for the
other two companies are not avail
able.

Coal mining is the life of Wash
ington county, and the miners form
the majority of the populations If
the U. M. w. of A. took the lead of
the campaign, the miners could get
their candidates elected on a labor
ticket by a good margin. They could
have union miner sheriff who would
halt instead of melting company VIC
lence in time of strike or lockout,
and appoint union miner deputy
sheriffs and have a union miner as
squire, as well.
In these sections where the class
lineup is so very simple and distinct,
the absurdity of workers putting in
to office men who are the direct
agents of their enemies becomes ex-
ceptionally obvious.

What Price Senate |,

The opening of the roth Congress
 also opened the fight in the battle to be waged over the price of seats
 in the United States Senate. The
 State of Illinois and the State oi Pennsylvania have sent Senatorial representatives to the United States
 Senate who are alleged to have raised the price of Senate seats without first referring the matter to the Senatorial Board of Trade or whatever group in the Senate handles the matter of price or en trance fees. We have grown so used to misuse of governmental functions that the matter of their being a group ill the U. s. Senate whose function it is to scrutinize schedules
 of prices of seats or entrance fees
 or other political commodity, need surprise no one But the Washing ton Post takes issue with this Sen
 atorial Board of Trade and in one of its December numbers has the following Gin part) to say relative thereto:
 *"they possess all constitu- ional qualifications and hold auth entic credentials certifying their election. Objection is made to hem because of alleged misuse O. money in their campaign"
 The movement to exclude these
 Senators is not based upon consti- tutional grounds"
 The denial of seat to person clecttd Senator is a denial os JAe right of the Senate to equal re- presentation in the Senate the Senate has no constitutional power to deny to States their equal i Representation in the Senate"
 The Republic cannot endure if
 States are robbed of their equal rights"
 There is no court to which a State can appeal for the protection Iof its tqual rights in the Senate This fact increases the danger that would attend denial of such rights No one knows what would follow the destruction of this funda- mental equality of the States. But lit is evident that the State thus wronged would be without friends ian-ong the other States It would not fight it's battles alone"
 'Senaors who vote to prevent
 Senator8-elect from being seated are violating their oath to support and defend the constitution of the Unit led States"
 Senator Jim Reed of Missouri is known to be very strong on the matter of political expediency and opportunity He may also be well informed on the matter of what is considered fair price for a seat ir the Senate. He may be we'll posted on market values. Missouri has a ] very large mule and hog marhot and annually sells products to the amount of millions. May be Jim could tell us what would be a fair price for an Opera ticket Anyway, when Jim gets through with adjust ing the Senate's schedule of prices for seats in that exclusive and some what high priced auditorium, we shall know something about what we will have to pay when our am- bition for Senate seat shall have been gratifed."
 If the concensus of Washington opinion is criterion and we should express in simple but time-honored of the street, the general view of the senatt's hectic effort to create schedule of prices for

STILL 15OO MILES FROM ALASKA

The Zellerback Paper Company and allied interests are going to build a paper mill at Hoquiam, Washing ton, that will cost-in construction $6,5O0,O0O. Water power will be taken from the Wynoochi River. The Aberdeen, Washington, mills of the same company, close to Hoquiam will need 1O0,0OO,OOO gallons of fresh water daily in plant operation.
 About the time the next Territor
 Legislature is in session, the H. oz. editor of the cannery blah-blah at Juneau, will be warning the mem bers that they might scare capital away"

We Advocate

Quite recently the Petersburg Chamber of Commerce brought up the proposition of dam extension so that there would be more water in case of fire. There was little, if any thing, said bearing on the towns need of water outside of the possible raveges of flame. It should be
 brought to mind, we think, that the city's cali for water is just as inn peritive as are the demands of the hydrant. Probably it was considered that if there was big head for the lines of hose, there would also be "a plenty for the general commercial and home requirements. Anyway. the water dam should be built up, rebuilt or fixed some way so that the several water shortages or the past summer and this winter wont
 occur again.
 We advocate new dam altogeth- CT, We advocate the construction of dam above-(farther up the Istream) )-the site of the present af- fair We think the location greatly superior both for dam construction and for water head.
 To build on top of the old dam means an outlay of money quite as large as it would call for in new dam building and at the end we'd have
 nothing better than piece of patcn
 work on an old foundation
 There have been so many misfits
 pulled off by the municipality that 1 it is time to snap into worthwhile
 effort.
 A short distance above the dam
 now in use there are suitable banks
 for dam construction The real dam.
 in fact, would be smaller as a unit than the present one. There is a low
 area of valley that would carry 10
 or more times the volume of water.
 The head would be higher, the town
 pressure greater. We advocate .
 brand new dam on proved engineer ing lines. Then we'd be through with
 this water worry for all time. If
 We do it at all, let's do it correctly.

they are competent or honest. Tn truth. someway, we often think # dishonesty when these large money deals are in evidence. When a
 Senator Elect has paid out many times more than his salary for his entire term of office, for seat, + is quite evident that he is to make up for it in some other way.

lighted at night; by fastening sufi- cient gear on the piling or trap logs to notify others who may come that way that the location is actual ly held and that the owner is going to some means to prove it.
 We don't know whether jumpers are irresponsible parties" or not, but we do know that Alaska can neries, with their immense invesL- ments" have so lorded over affairs that they have arrived at that condi- tion of mind where any piece of ground they spit on is considered theirs. They have the best fishing rune hogged anyway, and if they de- sire to hold the locations let them do something besides absolute aban- donment after a salmon season is closed. Also, if they do care to be thought anything of, pull their pill ing and move their trap logs out of harms way at once they have given up q location.
 The average trap is a dun hui. sance from fall until spring and if the owners desire peace and pro- lection" let them do something tc earn it.
 Insofar as trap revenue is concern ed we think the individual owner of trap pays as much into the territor- lal treasury for 8 trap as a cannery does for it's trap. We don't catch the Sentinel's point in it's lamenta- tion of lost revenue should can nery location drift by non-attention to an individual trapper' possession, except perhaps kow tow to it's liege lord and master, the Hon. J. G Grant, former mayor of Wrangell. trap operator and general boss of the political pewees of the ancient city at the mouth of the Stikine.
The Alaskan., 1927-12-30
As to Trap Sites

The Wrangell Sentinell is calling Dan Sutherland's attenion to what the Sentinel thinks is a bad state of affairs. These are in regard to Juneau Courts decision that trap sitec are open to be jumped during the winter season if the trap owners do not make some showing as to ownership beyond the tacking of a license number on the trap or near at hand.
 We'll, so long as a fish trap is legal appliance, we don't care to see the trap owner put to an inconven- fence to hold his site or location, but since a license itself binds the hold CT thereof to no one particular sec. tion of water covered beach, it stands the trapper in hand to do something else than merely claim ownership through a certain number or pile or two out in the water.
 Down to brass tacks, what has the average trap owner done to protect his site or hold his ground once the salmon season is over? In most cas- es, absolutely nothing. He pulls ir his gear and departs and in depart ing leaves a serious menace to navi. gation in the shape of driven or an chored obstacles Seemingly. he doesn't care a continental whoop, and he goes back in the spring to do over again what has been done for years. In a number of instances, already, certain traps have been de- clared illegal, or fishing in prohibit ed territory. There those traps stand so black at night boatman can't see them; lightless, menacing and destructive.
 If the trap owner has an idea that his trap location is worth anything, let him prove it by keeping the thing

DOESN'T GO MUCH ON TRAPS

Speaking of the recent knockout of 30 per cent of the Alaska traps by the Bureau of Fisheries, the Ev- erett News has this to say "The proposed action of the Federal auth critics should be a subject of serious thought to the Washington Sta e Fisheries Board. Traps in Pug t Sound account for great preponder ance of the salmon taken in these waters annually
 And the Everett Herald comes to bat with this: 'It is clearly esfab. lished that the Federal Department in charge of commercial fishing ;n Alaska looks upon fish traps as bar ticularly destr l"live gear. That fact has already bear established in b.i- tish Columbia where there are no fish traps excepting a scant few in the Fraser River country, while the American traps clutter up he wat ITS

 We would invite the Bureau of Fisheries to tell us just what bene- fit will be derived by said regula- tion. The seiner in this Division does not think of beginning seining oper- ations untl after the 5th of July be- cause BEFORE THAT DATE THERE ARE NO SALMON TO CATCH.
 THE ALASKAN has refrained from commenting on the fisheries re- gulatiOns because only general re- views of proposed regulations have been given the press We believe the regulations as will be and the regu- lations as announced to be two diff ferent birds-one being a shypolk and 'tOther a buzzard Too many conferences" and invitations for suggestions from the Fish Barons and no consideration for the ideas of those who toll with the seines.

The fire on the motor boat re- gently, and the burning of the Iver- son building, should prove to the City Dads that there are winter handicaps in hre fighting to be over come and that call for serious atten- tion right now. Where the fires were, few days back, it was most dittichlt matter to move the fire fight
 ing apparatus to where it was need d. This was on account of the snow
 ice and drifts on the streets. There were willing hands enough. There was spirit enough, but it was physi- cally impossible to pull carts and equipment to the scene of action with the speed that is necessary ir such cases. We cant very well keeI the snow from falling. We can't stoI the ice from forming We cam keep drifts from banking up either
