noted is directly due to the low price that prevailed during the year for copper ore, as well as other minerals produced in Al aska. It is not only directly that these low prices have ad. versely affected the value of min eral output, but their indirect affect in curtailing production is even more pronounced.
 While the bare figures in this report, taken by themselves, show l decrease in the mineral produc. ton of Alaska in 1927 from the former year. yet such figures should not be taken as marking a retrogression in the mining in dustry. Such is not the case according to the yearly investi- gations made by the Geological Survey throughout the Territory Many of the conditions that ex- plain the decreases are of them selves such as to indicate in creased production in the future In many districts the gathering together and consolidation of 8 large number of claims formerly operated separately, the careful study of economical methods ol mining the ground, the purchase of suitable machinery and equip ment and the undertaking oi large engineering feats, clearly forecast more productive work in the near future, and these arc the conditions which prevail ir many of the mining districts throughout the Territory.
 ''The number of persons arriv- ing in Alaska on regular passen- ger vessels during 1927 were 3D. 221. representing an increase of 1247 over 1926. The departures represent 32,769, or an excess Of 54S over arrivals. These fig ures might indicate loss in population were it not for the fact that a number of the can neries bring their employees into the Territory in their privately owned vessels, which persons are not counted in our figures, but who are later returned to the States by regular passenger yes sells and counted as paid passen- gers. Were it not for their cir cumstance we believe a gain in population would be shown"

 MAN RUSTLIN" AT
 COLISEUM SATURDAY

The unique story of a cowboy who turns reporter and breaks beats" instead of cows is told with a whirlwind of action and a rollicking sense of humor that is as rare as it is delightful in Mao Rustlin'," Bob Clusters most re- cent picture for F. B. O., which will be seen at the Coliseum Thea tre Saturday. The role of Buck Hayden not only gives this popu- lar young western star the best part he has ever. played, but it breaks away with delightful care free unconcern from the convei- tionaE type of western picture and forms the most refreshing produc- tion that any conipany has turned cut within recent memory. Buck not only reports well, but he sells advertising for the Desert City Bugle-largely to criminals who are in need of kind juries, to feud- embittered COW country barons in need of more relatives who are quick with a gun, etc. The note of burlesque which has been in jected into several typical western situations is gorgeous. Lovely Florence Lee takes the principal role, and other important characters who enact their parts are Jules Cowles, Sam Allen, James Kelly, Pat Beggs. Howard Fay and Skeeter Bill Robbins.

 The moment your back hurts or kidneys aren't acting right, or if bladder bothers you, begin drinking lots of good water and also get about four ounces of lad Salts from any good pharmacy; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for years to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to activity; also to neutralize the acids in the system so that they no longer irritate, thus often relieving blad- der disorders.
 { lad Salts can not injure any one; makes a delightful efferves- cent lithia-water drink which millions of men and women take now and then to help keep the kidneys and urinary organs clean, thus often avoiding serious kid ney disorders. adv.

They will know something about 1t. They may even
be able to quote I'll or parts Of it from memory.
The long platforms that have been in favor for gen
erations-full Of words, but short Of matter-are SO
tiresOme nobody reads them, comparatively speaking.
The man in the street never reads them. The average
voter has but the sketchiest idea Of q few important
planks, If he knows that much. II Is even suspected
that some Of the candidates never read the platforms
they use for getting into office, because they show q
profound ignorance OF what the platforms contain and
bIithely ignore them as soon as elected.
II brevity is the soul Of wit, then brevity can be
employed to put punch into politics-the right kind OF
punch. A platform that could be printed on one side
Of 9 postcard, and not in agate type, either, would be
widely distributed, and it would exert a ~salutary in
fluence on candidates, assuming that the platform con-
sists Of something more than q few empty platitudes.
The candidate who addressed the voters from the
stump would hesitate to make rash promises, for fear
that dozens or hundreds Of persons in his audience
might pull the party platform from thSir pockets, wave
it in his face and ask him how he got that way, OF
what he meant by going beyond the party's solemn
declaration Of principles. And after a candidate got
into office, il would be an easy matter to check up on
him and discover how far he falls short Of doing what
he promised to do, II the dear people would only give
him their suffrage.
Eventually. to make use Of a word much in vogue
for advertising purposes. we should reach the poiat
where party platforms could be written on q scrap OF
cardboard the size Of a postage stamp; and after tha-
on a grain Of corn, and then they would disappear alto
gether, to the great JOY Of candidates and voters alika

The World and All

Visitors TO New York who spend two weeks in the
city generally get over more ground than Is traversed

They travel long distances to and from work, and let

who have never been in Brooklyn borough.
Traffic space is becoming SO valuable in New York
that there is a determined sentiment crystallizing
against any sort Of private encroachment upon it. The
city committee on plan and survey recommends PROFIT
bition of all parking in the streets. This certainly
must come soon, at least in Manhattan borough.
one Of the first steps toward abolition Of private

ID whispered about town that political wire-pulling
makes it impossible to dislodge these worst of all space
hogs from their laces Of business in the public high
ways.
Great, vide express highways along all the river
fronts are contemplated By the survey committee.
Also, underground walks, with entrances and exits in
side business buildings, are strongly recommended.
There are many Of these pedestrian ~walkways under
streets and buildings in the Grand Central area now,
and they help to relieve traffic congestion on the sur
face.
The committee agrees with the general public IN
insisting that all elevated railways should be removed
as soon a. possible. The l. roads have few friends.
They are u%nsishtly. noisy, and odoriferous. But they
carry millions of passengers, and they cannot be aboi-

TEXAS DAILY PRESS LEAGUE
Foreign Advertising Representatives


The. movement inaugurated ny the League OF leAas
Municipalities to secure passage by the next legisla-
ture Of a measure allocatinr to the towns ana cities
Of the state is to 20 per cent Of the automobile license
fees paid, is arousing considerable comment.
Under the present law practically every dollar de-
rived from automobile license fees Is utilized for con-
struction or maintenance Of state highways in rural
sections, though the majoS part of the fund is derived
from licenses paid BY automobile owners residing in
the towns and cities. Proponents Of the measure as
sert that the present law is unfair; that while the
towns and cities are interested in the construction and
maintenance Of state highways, they are fully justified
in demanding at least a small part Of the license fee
fund for street construction and repair work.
In the event the gasoline tax proposed by Highway
Commissioner Sterling is adopted BY the legislature,
there could be no objection on the part Of rural resi-
dents to an equal distribution Of the license fee moneys
between the towns and rural sections. State highways
and main feeder roads will receive the major benefits
from the gasoline tax proposed by Mr.. Sterling, and the
tax would provide ample funds to meet the highway
construction requirements Of the state as the basis for
the issuance of state bonds. An equal division Of the
license money would eliminate much of the objection
which has arisen in some Of the larger cities to the
proposed gasoline tax.
Under the present law the property owners Of a
city carry the entire burden Of street Improvement
and a large share OF the burden Of highway ~eonstrue-
ton and maintenance. There Is no decided objection
to this, as the taxpayers of the towns and cities real
ize that the value Of their property and the business Of
their respective towns depends to a great extent upon
the highway systems. However, in many Of the larger
larger cities there will be considerable protest if the
additional burden Of a gasoline tax is applied without
the state making provisions to aid in financing street
improvement by turning part Of the license fee moneys
over to the towns for this purpose.
The Sterling gasoline tax plan is expected to re-
ceive almost unanimous endorsement when brought
before the legislature. Practically every commercial
and civic Organization in the state has endorsed il as
the logical method TO place the burden OF financing
highway improvements where il -belongs-upon the
motor vehicle. The proposed tax will receive the en-
dorsement Of practically every city in the state, but in
fairness to the taxpayers Of the cities, the legislature
should make some provision whereby part Of the bur
den Of street improvement could be relieved by a more
equitable distribution Of the license fee moneys.

Troops on the Border

The Women's international League for Peace and
Freedom has inaugurated a movement to demilitarize
the southern border Of the United States. and blanks.
which were not accepted, were submitted to the ma
tional conventions Of both major parties calling upon
the president and secretary Of state TO take stems 10
immediately remove all border troops. The league
holds the view that standardization Of the border
would result in more amicable relations between the
United States and Mexico.
One fact the League as overlooked, and that is that
the border military posts, or those near the southern
border, are the best places in the United States IN
which troops can be stationed. Military establish
ments along the Northern border proved very expen-
sive TO maintain, the result Of the rigorous climate.
and II was economy as much as friendship that dictated
the action Of the American government in negotiating
and ratifyirg the Rush-Bagot convention whereby the
United States and Canada agreed to demilitarize the
border.
Fort Brown at Brownsville holds the record rs one
Of the most healthful military posts in the United
States, the record surprising that Of Fort Sam Hous-
ton. The Southern military posts have proved ideal
training ground for troops Of all arms. and no part Of
the United States offers better facilities in this re-
spect.
The suggestion of the League that the border ne
demilitarized in order to promote more amicable reIa.
lions between the United States and Mexico is amusing
10 border residents on both sides Of the Rio Grande.
IL unfriendly relations exist between the American
ana Mexican people II is confined 10 the interiors Of
the respective countries. On the border, notwithstand-
ing what the League is pleased to refer to as "a mill
tary threat" It would be impossible to cement more
amieabie relations or better cooperation between the
peoples Of two nations. The amiabIe relations are not
confined to the civilian population. Between Mexican
and American military officers there is a close bond
q friendship and this friendship Is a potent factor in
building up a better understanding and more friendly
relations between the two governments
There Is no military threat on either side Of the
hlo Grande. On the American side the military posts
are separated by wide distances; on the Mexican side
practically every town and hamlet has its small gar
rison which 10 a great extent exercises poIice oowers
within its territory. Instead Of creating a menace 70
friendly relations, the American and Mexican military
forces on the border are prorioting international
friendship to a degree little understood except b. those
who reside in the border country.
