A Nation of Electric" In
VeStors,

Of the total population of the
United States, an average of more
than one in every fifty is direct
investor in the securities of cleo
trio light and power companies.
Besi'es this vast airy of more than
100000 people, there are I'M
countable millions of wage earn
ers whose hard-earned savings
deposited in banks are in turn
loaned to industry on security of
stocks and bonds. The electric
light and power industry alone
represents a total investment of
$4,000, 000,0 900, or more than $68
for each man, woman and child
in our country.
Electricity is coming to mean
more and more in the lives of the
American people every day. Soon
electric washing machines, clean
ers, irons, and countless other
devices will be in every home,
and with this enlarged opportu-
nifty for service, the electric light
and power industry will become
an even more vital factor than
ever before,

The "Charge Account" Habit
in Taxes.

The real tax problem of the
country is no longer in Washing

the country. Turn your eyes
homeward. Much remain to be
done there" admonishes Ogden
l.. Mills, Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury.
Taxpayers appear to have been
surprisingly complacent with re-
spect to state and local bond is
sues, taxes and expenditures. An
enormous debt-incurring, tax-in-

gram has been in progress thru
ought the nation. Bond issues
have been approved without be-
ing subjected to critical, business
like analysis to ascertain whether
or not they should be pared down.

CARRIE LOCALS.

Mr.. Walter G. Honaker shot
and instantly killed Miss Lille
Sutherland last Sunday about
3o'clock. The two had been liv
ing together for four or five
years, but had never married.
Miss Sutherland leaves one
child, a boy about two years old.
Honaker is the father of three
boys by his wife, but he and
his wife had not lived together
for several years.
Mr.. Honaker claims that the
shot was accidently and happen
ed while they were scuffling
over the gun. He did not try to
make any escape but surrender
ed Immediately to the authorities
and was placed in jail. The
amount of bond required was
$4,000 which he has failed so
far to execute.

the Atchison, Topeka and Santa
Fe Railway. 1t shows an increase
in freight revenue in 81 years,
from 1896 to 1926, of from $780,
100000 to $196,oOO,C0O, and an
increase in passenger revenue
from about $4,000, 900 to $44, 000,-
900. During the same period,
the miles of track operated in
creased from 6,445 to 1921.
These cold figures spell the
word development" They me a 1
new homes and increased popu-
lation in great areas which 30
years ago were almost unln-
h a bited. Follow the Santa
Fe railroad through California,
Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado,
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas,
and one can realize the work it
has done In changing desert and
wilderness into habitable country
with schools farms cities and good
roads. Such names on it's line as
Mojdve, Flagstaff, Santa Fee,
Amarillo, Silver City, Oklahoma
City and scores of others, bring
up pictures of the Old West as
recorded in story book and poem.
The annual gross earnings fig
ures Of the Santa Fe-for 1926
some $50 million dollars repre-
sent a very small fraction of the
wealth which has been produced
as the result of such railroads
opening up country for home
builders, which would have been
WORT less without modern trans
portation. Each home in the San
ia Fe territory meant men and
women with more than average
energy and ambition.
For so Gays in midsummer,
wheat loading averaged 1850
cars a day. Cotton and other
crops were hauled in enormous
quantaties. Oil shipments aver.
aged $50 cars a day for the last
six months of the year from the
Texas Panhandle district alone.
Fruit from California took thou
sands of cars, and manufactured
articles from other sections took
like numbers. Think what these
figures tell from the standpoint
of new homes built, new families
reared, farm lands developed and
industries built up.
The transcontinental railroads
made the United States what it is
today. The fact that freight rev.
enue so far outstrips passenger
revenue, is evidence of the indus
try of our people and the inter-
dependence of one section of our
county on other sections for the
daily supplies of necessities and
conveniencies which it would be
impossible to produce or transport
without the railroads.

STATES BENEFIT BY c. lSTRUCTlVE
INDUSTgItIL (. r...a..TISING

Industry is rendering service
70 states and nation which is not
generally appreciated for the
simple reason that the public does
not realize what industry is DO
ing. The modern American IN
dustry takes great pride in it's
product, the territory in which it
operates, and the service or com
modify it furnishes its customers.
It realizes that it's success de-
ponds primarily upon the growth
and prosperity of the territory in
which it operates.
An example of constructive in
dustrial publicity has been fur
nished by the Alabama Power
Company 1t has carried adver-
Using not only in the local papers
in the state in which it operates,
but in Eastern and Middle West
newspapers, in trade journals
and Magazines Of national circu-
lation The purpose OF this ad-
vertising is to secure new por'l-
lation and new business for the
South.
The Alabama Power ovmpany
maintains a new Industries Dl-
vision whic follows the magazine
and newspaper advertising, main
tains contact with prospective
Alabama industries, makes sur
veys for new plants and furnishes
specific data on request. Its en-
deavor is to attract industries
which can be assured of success
full operation in it's territory.
More industries naturally mean
the sale of more power; but more
industries and more population
also mean the sale of more land,
more groceries, more lumber and
more of every product sold in
Alabama. This is constructive,
COMMUNICATING advertising
and it is typical of adverting that
is being done by big industries in
different parts of the country.
1t is impossible to estimate the
great value of such publicity to
a state. But in the case of Ala
bama, it has been definitely shown
that in seven years the state s
pay-rolls have increased S75, 000,-
600 annually. Without construc-
tive Industrial advertising, it is
safe to say that no such growth
could be recorded.

A Just Complaint.

A Just Complaint.
Urging more uniform legisla-
tive regulation of fire insurance,
Ludlum, Vice-President of the
Home Fire Insurance Company,
says:
Perhaps it is desirable that
insurance companies are required
to make statements annually to
each one of the states, revealing
details of operation, underwrit-
ing and investment income, ex-
penses and losses paid and in
Cured, profit (if any, with a
minuteness of itemized particu-
larity such as probably no other
business or occupation is called
upon to render or reveal. Ger
tainly there can be no trade
secrets in fire insurance. Per-
haps also, but not surely, it is ex-
pedient and in behalf of the pub
lie interest that supervision OF
the fire insurance business by the
states should extend so far be-
vond the policy of other countries
in this respect.
"These presumptions may be
admitted. however, without i'm
pairing the force Of the assertion
that the variety and diversity of
valued-policy. anti-coinsurance,
anti-compact a nd at i-this-that-
and-the-other laws, statutes for
bidding agreements or rates, and
others Frequently in the same
state, strange as it may SEEM
practically forcing all insurers
into a single bureau or association
committed to rigidly uniform con-
duct and operation, do constitute
obtrusions of state control which
hinder rather than promote the
rendering of the fullest service.
"The desirabilitv of more near
ly desirable uniform legislative
regulation of the fire insurance
business has been repeatedly as
serted by state officials, whose
observation and experience have
led them to perceive and remark
thereupon."
Besides being regulated to
death, fire insuran S
taxed for everything under the
sun. A very small portion of
state taxes paid by these compa-
MES goes for the purpose of main
tanning fire insurance depart
ments. 1t almost seems that ev-
cry time the state needs money
for any purpose, a new tax is lev
led against fire insurance prem
ums.

NORTHERN NOTES

------------ 4st@ Frank Love, oldtimer of the north and a resident of Anchorage since the early days of the city, is patient at the Government hospital.
 Stanley Chernaef who mined on Peters Creek last summer, is back in that district and will trap there dur ing the coming winter if he can find room to place his traps among the many already there.
 Miss Ultima Kirk arrived in Juneau last week from her home in Oregon Her marriage to Earl L. Hunter IT,, will be solemnized at MT. Hunters home. Miss Kirk was a visitor in Juneau for several weeks during the summer of 1926.
 Miss Yvonne Larner and Thomas Larmore were married in Fairbanks lastt week. Mrs. Larmore arrived here Tuesday from San Francisco. MT. Larmore has lived in Fairbanks for a number of years. He returned to Alaska this summer after spending several months in the States.
 Paul J. Rickert will head the Fair banks Commercial club for the ensu- ing year. George Preston was elected viee-president. The executive com mittee will be composed of Messre. Rickart, Preston, A. J. Nordale, George Hutchinson and Charles L. Thompson.
 Ghatanika will henceforth have resident deputy marshal, James Hagen having been transferred to the creek town from Nenana. Permission has been granted by the Department Of Justice to United States Marshal Lynn Smith to increase his force by another officer and he has appointed H. I. Miller as deputy marshal for Nenana.
 The Fairbanks station has again been made radio net control station for Interior Alaska. It was found that Fairbanks is better suited geographi- cally as radio distribution point than Seward, where the control station has been since early last summer. In the future all messages will be sent from Seattle to Seward by cable, from Sew ard to Fairbanks by land wire, and from Fairbanks by radio.
 Arthur c. Thompson, pioneer attor- ney of Anchorage, will direct the act ivities of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce during the ensuing year, having been elected president at the annual meeting of the organization

Most Montanans will recall that Jay
Cooke n his banking house failed as
a direct result Of their financial support

failure did not come through any dis
honesty on his part, or because his ideas
were impracticable.
Mr.. Minnigerode explains it in this
way: The Franco-Prussian war had

But Mr.. Cooke would not give in, he
would not abandon the road, he would
not desert this national enterprise, Mr..

Other financial houses began to fail, and
finally Jay Cooke was dragged into the
maelstrom. He was a failure after hav-

proper title of 1.-THE Napoleon of Finance"
His connection with the financing of
the Civil war is a romance in itself. Mr..
Minnigerode tells it interestingly and
