Fourteen years ago Judge James Winkersham, author of the Organic Act, speaking to a joint session of thr Alaska Legislature, at Juneau, Alaska, stated in almost the eXa2t language used by the Supreme Court ot the United States when handin5 ,Nn the recent decision on taxation ot the Fisheries of Alaska, namely: Th~ right to impose a prohibitory tex if they deemed it necessary to pres erve the fishing industry.
 This dual power vested in the Blu reuu of Fisheries on the one sida and the Territory of Alaska on the other side is conflicting and can be r4nedied but one way-contro! thrl S.r'ehOOd
 Alaska has 4,OO0 miles of salt wa ter frontage, and 30 900 miles of es tu&ries and tidelands which alone would sustain a State. This vast amount of tidelands under State con t1oi would solve the problem of the governed by the consent of the gov ernnd.
 What the people of Alaska want most of all are facts and figures.
 Ohio became State with popu- lat,on of 5000; Nevada with a pop l"lion of 42,OOO. The population Of Alaska, under the last census C92O) was 55,O36. This gives Alas k. approximately 10000 more DO pulation thcn Ohio, and 13,OOO more

toned to established architectural prec-
edent, but an accomplished fact in Eu-
rope. where architects have already
erected numerous homes which at first
appear merely bizarre.
Bedrooms placed under kitchen, din

step directly to the garden. Houses
with fiat roofs. Houses with walls of

Houses with folding partitions Of

tastic in conception that they call for
people of a new world, of race other
than human, of people whose occu-
pationS in nowise resemble our own.
Such were envisioned in a recent
architectural exhibition held at Stuff
CART, Germany, where architects from
"a countries built houses which repre-
sented what they believed to be the
logical development of the home. The
German correspondent of the Christian
Science Monitor, commenting upon the
works of the exhibitors, says:

lures of interiors were odd uses OF color
and the lack of privacy.
so far as the color added to the
cheerfulness of the rooms It was de-
cided asset, as, for instance, in the
children's room of one of the houses
where one wall was delicate light
blue, another a faint yellow and an
other pale green A black piano with

charming effect.
But when it comes TO a balcony with
one orange and one lemon wall, an
orange ceiling, blue pillars, red rails
and gray doors. or room having blue
walls, a red ceiling and black settee,
one begins to wonder how long ordi-
nary people could live there. The use
Of color even extends to gas and water
pipes.
THE lack of privacy felt In all the
houses exhibited is due to the absence
of walls separating the rooms and TO
the huge windows frequently employed
---veritable glass walls. Both result
from the reasoning adopted by certain
architects of the new school.
IF, owing to the progress of engi-
neering. walls are no longer needed as
support. why erect any and thus d.

glass industry is now capable of manu-

New York Building Managers Join

Tenants who make practice OF de-
frauding owners out of rent in New

difficulties, according to plans of menu
bers of the Building Managers and
Owners Association. william j. De-

committee Of the association, this week
outlined plans for drive against the
New York dead beats"
Arrangements have been completed"
said Demarest, whereby the association
is now in a position to protect members
against tenants who are dead beats.
The association has entered into con-
tracts with two of the largest mercan-
tile agencies In the city which are in
touch with the credit standing Of all
persons doing business with the princi-
pal stores and who have on file list OF
all persons against whom judgments
have been obtained or suits brought.
While the losses through delinquent
and fraudulent tenants have not as
sunled vast proportions, through the
care exercised in investigating the in
tegrity of all applicants for Office. loft
or apartment house space, they have
been a factor in increasing the cost of
maintenance and in reducing the an
nual income on property. The present
system should go long way toward
eliminating this waste"

POLES TO OBSERVE
BIRTHDAY NOV. Il
Became Independent Nation
Again Ten Years Ago After
Century'S Division.

While the United States is celebrating
Arnistice day November IL. Poland will
be observing its tenth birthday ami
versary. It was on the original Arnt-
stice day in 1918 that Poland, after
having been divided for more than a
century among Russia, Austria and
Germany, again became an independ-
ert nation.
I'm looking back on the past 10
years. says a bulletin from the Wash
ington headquarters of the National
Geographic Society, Americans must
feel considerable satisfaction in the part
their country has played in the life of
this resurrected nation. Most of the
S70,0O0,000 loan that has put Poland
on a firm financial footing came from
the United States.
Introduce American Methods.
American business methods have
captured the imagination and admira-
ton of the Poles, and scarcely work
on scientific management is published
in America today that is not translated
into Polish. Poland has industries that
were begun before the discovery of
America, but some of them are being
rejuvenated by American methods under
the guidance of American engineers.

affected by new methods are her salt
mines, which were adding to the SAVIOR
of Central European foods as early as
the tenth century. The first iron forge
began operations in 1888 and may be
looked upon as the beginning of the
iron founding industry. which now con-
tributes millions of dollars worth of
values each year to Polish manufacture.
An important lumber industry, based
on timber lands covering $4,000 acres,
was begun in the eighteRnth century.
A tree must be go years old before it
is cut. The entire forest area of the
country is more than 22,000,000 acres.

"One of Poland'S most interesting In
dustries is a plant for building railway
equipment that was started in Ma
poleonic times as a wagon factory The
textile industry keeps more than 3,000,-
600 spindleS busy, and there are numer-
Gus factories for the manufacture of
paper, chemicals and metal articles.
only Germany, which is Poland'S
nearest western neighbor, exports more
goods to the country than does the
United States. The latter furnishes
approximately 16 per cent of all Polish
imports. In size Poland. with 10000
square miles. is sixth among European
countries, being exceeded only by
Russia, France. Spain, Germany and
Sweden. 1t has a population of ap-
proximately 30,000,O00, total exceeded
only by Russia, Germany, France and
