everyone may have an equal chance.
OF course everybody IL not equal
naturally: some arc short. some ara
tall. some arc good looking and
some are not, but America says that
every child shall have an equal op-
portunity to make the best OF him
self. America il leading in this re-
spect although it 10 the youngest ma
ton. What il the real reason?
1.-THE history Of the world IL the
history Of people struggling and try
ing to get the right to live in peace
and happiness.
When the founders came to this
country. they figured they would set
up a place to govern themselves and
to think az they wished. When they
set up the government they knew
they would not succeed unless they
had the wisdom to do 50. They Inn
mediately built schools Ever since
then the child in this country has
had a chance to gain in wisdom In
public schools. We have expanded
but always education made tho pro-
gress equal to the expansion.
Public School Element OF Democracy
Democracy and public schools
are inseparable. Democracy would
be destroyed II there were no public
schools. What is the reason for ed
ucation? Why does the state support
the schools? No child is allowed to
escape without education. because
there is need for a group who will
be educated to care for our instttu-
tons during the coming generations.
DO you realize how big this sys-
tenn is in this city. There are $4,000
pupils in the public schools and $50
teachers at a cost Of $1.200.000 =
year. We spend 80 per cent OF the
taxpayers money for the support Of
the schools Are we spending too
much for our schools?
Bear this in mind. We spend half
Of what We have for automobiles
and movies, more than half for ci-
gars and cigarettes. 1t Is irksome to
pay taxes. but the money must be
spent.
you want good schools. you want
good teachers, you want good build
ings which will be well lighted and
heated so that the schools will be
fine, clean. wholesome and healthy
places for the children. You must
pay the price for these buildings and
you must pay the teachers or neigh
boring towns will pay them and you
will lose their services"

LOCAL MAN AND HIS
 BRCTHER UNITED BY
 BROADCAST STATION

How Archie Chauvin. now with the F. Alstrom News Stand on Front Street, and his brother, Hugh B. Chauyin of San Jose. California, received word of each other for the first time in eight years through station ROW in San Jose, was related recently .n the columns of newspaper in that city.
 While broadcasting it's birth day celebration program last night" the article read, Station ROW received the following tele- gram from Archie Chauvin, in Ju- neau: Hello, San Jose. Your program coming fine, clear as a bell. Within five minutes after the telegram had been read into the microphone, telephone call was received from Hugh Chauvin. local resident. to the effect that Archie Chauvin of Alaska was his brother from whom he had not heard in eight years.
 "The local man asked that his message be broadcast also. This was done, so if Archie Chauvin in Juneau continued to listen i,l last night after his own telegram was read, he received a reminder that he has not communicated with his brother Hugh for eight years"

VOTING NEGLECTED
 WHEN ISSUE LACKING

DETROIT, Jan. 31-Lack of l vital, controversial campaign is- sue has kept women from the polls, asserts Mrs. William R. All word, chairman of the American Citizenship committee of the Gel- eral Federation of Women's Clubs.
 "The education of women for the discreet use of their vote has progressed far since the passage of the Nineteenth amendment" ," said Mrs. Alvord in telling of the report she is preparing for the biennial convention of the fedora tion in Texas in May.
 But there is still a lot to 1o and it can best be done through women's clubs throughout the country. Women must realize that even when there is not clear cut line of demarkation between two candidates for an office, she should still study the situation and the candidates qualifications
 
 before she lets pass the chance to register her choice"
 Mrs. Alvord believes there is extensive missionary work to le done by the organized women of the country among the morgan ized. Club women, she says, have an opportunity of gathering valu- able information on the political situation and are taught the inn mense importance of wise use of their vote. These women should instill the same principl ss in the non-members, not for the purpose of obtaining their mem bership, but for the purpose of getting out the woman's vote.

ALASKA RADIO
 STATION NOW
 CHANGES WAVE

The Alaska Radio & Service Company's station. KGBU, at Ket. chikan, Alaska, has been assigned a new broadcasting frequency pr wave length of 750 kilocycles or 399.S meters. The change was ef. fective January 24, 1928. accord. ing to advices received by Mar tin Lynch.
 It is believed that the chang {, will eliminate the interference and hetrodyning that formerly oc- cured when the station was broadcasting at the old frequencv of 1910 kilocycles or 22S.9 meters. There are several Pacific Goa | stations which broadcast at the old wave length and many more close to that frequency. Thor are no stations close to 750 kilo- cycles which will likely interf er5 with Alaska reception.
 It is especially desired that lis. teners in Alaska report the qual ity of reception at the new wave length. Many different localities reported formerly that a greai deal of trouble was caused by in. reference from other stations al the old wave length, and it is de- sired by the owners of KGBU so receive reports as to how tn } change of wave length has as- fected the situation. Letters re- porting results should be address ed to kGBU, Ketchikan, Alaska
 It is also pointed out by the owners of the station that the broadcasting schedule is based on Pacific Standard Time, since Ket. ehikan operates on that basis in all matters.
 The daily schedule of the sta tion since January first has been as follows:
 Daily, except Sunday and We'd nesday II a. m to 1 D. m housewives and luncheon pro grams; 6 to 7:30 p. m, children S hour news, weather, markets, pipe organ and musical programs. Sunday only, II a. m., Christian Science church services: 10 D. m to 12 M., the Sourdoughs. Thurs days only, S:3O to 11:S0 D. m.

HURLEY HAS VIEWS UPON
 U. s. MARINE
Writes Coolidge Giving Suggestions for New
 Merchant Marine

CHICAGO. Jan. s1. = Forceful leaders of business. railroading and shipping, can with the aid of Congress, build modern vessels and establish an American mer- chant marine in harmony with the views e the President. Ed ward Hurley, wartime President of the Shipping Board told the President in letter made pub lie here.
 The letter gave numerous sug- gestions which Hurley said would aid in overcoming obstacles con fronting American shipping and ship operations and also gave several remedies to exhilirate commerce. both coastwise and oceanic trade.
 For eight years, Hurley said. the Government owned ships were operated at loss and this is only to be remedied by private operation and investment of pri- vate capital. The freight rate is too low to provide a fair return because of unscientific methods used in classifying commodities.

CLAIMS PLOT
TO Get BURKE
Senate Indian Affairs Probe
Frame-Up Says Thomas.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Charles
H. Burke, commissioner of Indian
affairs, will be given an opportunity
to testify before the senate investi-
eating committee, members decided
today. Burke's administration has
been criticised before the committe.
Senator Thomas (Dem0 Of Okla
homa, committee member, charges
the whole purpose of the senate in
quiry is "to get" Burke.
Senator Pine (Rep0 of Oklahoma,
another committee member, denies
the inquiry is directed at Burke. He
says it is being conducted for the
purpose of cleaning up conditions
in the Indian bureau.
Pine and Burke have been at odds
for more than a year over selection
of a new superintendent for the
agency of the five civilized tribes in
Oklahoma
Pine wants James Hepburn of his
state named, while Burke favors a
department employee. An acting SUI
perintendent has been serving for
more than year.
Burke has complained to Senator
Thomas against the manner in
which his bureau is being ignored
during senate inquiry. He says he
is not notified when hearings are
being held so that he can prepare
answers to the testimony submitted,
according to Thomas.

BIZ United Press
TOPEKA, Kan, Dec. 22.-Kansas,
legally dry more than forty years,
faced a sweeping liquor investiga-
ton today ordered by Clyde M
Reed, Governor-elect. Reed asserted
legislative liquor parties have be-
come public menace in the capital
of the nations second state to adopt
prohibition.
William A. Smith, attorney-gen-
eral of the state, and William G.
Rigby mayor of Topeka. have
promised to see that the forthcom-
ing session of the legislature is dry
as a bone"
Reed called Smith, Rigby and
Glenn Logan, county attorney-elect,
into conference and aired his
charges concerning the free flow of
liquor during sessions Of the legis-
lature last year.
"These booze parties have grown
until they have become a public
menace" Reed said. THE parties,
given by lobbyists with intention to
influence legislation, are a matter OF
common knowledge and growing ap-
prehension on the part of good
citizenship.
Violation of the prohibition laws
is fragrant during sessions of the
legislature. After I take Office Jan.
IA, am going to attempt to enforce
the dry laws, especially in regard to
booze patrieS staged by legislators. Z"

Renew ACTION
TO GUST BOOTH
General 'AutoCratiC,' Is
Charge; EvangeIine Sails.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 22-Command-
er Evangeline Booth was on the
liner Olympic today, bound for Eu-
rope to attempt to settle what was
described as the most serious crisis
in the history of the Salvation
Army"
When she returns to the United
States, in which she is chief execu-
tive of the army, her brother, Gen.
BramWell Booth, no longer may be
international head of the Salvation
Army. Commander Booth may oc-
cupy that place herself, although
she has not put herself forward for
the Office.
There is a serious controversy in
the army because of the alleged
autocratic manner in which General
Booth has administered the organ
ization'S affairs. The general, who
is Y, has been in i'll health for
two years.
Under the present constitution,
General Booth is the absolute ruler
of the organization until he dies and
can place the name of his success
sor in sealed envelope to be
opened only after he is dead.
A move was started some time
ago to persuade General Booth to
consent to a change in the constitu-
ton to soften his autocratic pow
ers, but the generals serious illness
halted the campaign in May.
A high council has been called in
London for Jan. 8 to decide wheth-
err General Booth shall be ousted.
