WAR POWER DRAFT

First of the American Legion's national legislative program is de- mand that the Administration pass war power draft bill that will equalize wages in and out of the armed forces during war, and em- power the government to seize money and other property as well as men.
 There is an old saying that war impoverishes the poor and enriches the rich.
 Exempting labor in essential war industries from military service anG then paying exorbitant wages as if normal economic forces were at work i sthe height of injustice.
 To take fighting mans arm and only borrow fireside mans money 10 lCoS Chdi JuSI.--COllleI ;. We have often wondered why the injustices, in the above lines, hadn't been brought up before There were men ''drafted' into the Spruce Divi- sion at $S to $1O a day. They were young fellows and would have made capable soldiers. Boys of the same towns went into the Army at $3O per month. And the Spruce Division was one only, of many such one sided "war essentials J When dollars are drafted with the men then wars will be considered twice before shot is fired.

WHERE'S YOUR UNION CARD?

We have recently gone over some of the material in the Survey of Bureau Statistics and we give a paragraph on the benefits of 60 different unions, or organizations oG labor.
 The survey shows that so inter- natinaI unions paid benefits last year to death, sickness, disability, old age and other objects amount ing to almost $1O,OOO,OOO. Pay ments of insurance of various kinds amounted to more than $12,O0O,0OO. Of record is the fact that these unions, since insurance and benefits become part of union affairs, have paid out more than $3O,OOO,OOO.

He is a Catholic and no Catholic has ever been nomi mated for the presidency, but a majority just now aren't taking his religion seriously. However, dor mant things sometimes come to flames quickly. There may come an immense flare-up when least ex- pected nor wanted, in Al Smith 5 running. There is something wild
 uncanny and of spicy adventure in

 worse. The man is thoroughly capable for the job and has a pleas ing personality, but right down to brass tacks we don't think he'll win out even if nominated. However, to run against him the Republicans should select some one other than the would be oil baron of Russia

EDITORIAL FINDINGS

No thing has mighty power un- til it stands clearly revealed" Old Caesar of Rome made this wisa crack number of moons ago, and it goes today as strongly as yes terday, It is a good passage for the pee-pee and the subsidizers and the pawnshop to chew over and digest.
The Alaskan., 1928-01-20
SUBSCRIPTION RATES.

| present no amount of covering up will cure it, nor long delay the fact that it exists. The trouble is that the pee-pee is one of the cover-up kind and is here for the purpose of aiding and abetting those who de- sire things hushed and to call any who disagrees with the blacklist of the powers that be all sorts of nasty names. This gets neither the pee-pee nor it's subsidizers anywhere. They have made no attempt to clear a murky atmosphere. In truth they have made it worse. They derive certain benefit from this condition l-providing it is not too greatly talked about-and want it to con- | tinue. It means a certain amount ! of political power and some fnan- cial returns.
 The pee-pee goes back to Liberty Loan times and the drives for the same here in town. We don't know of city, town village nor hamlet, from Maine to the Gulf of l California, from Florida to the smallest igloo settlement along the Polar Sea that didn't go several times over the top in subscriptions. | We have a record of these bond pur- chases here in the office. We know of one settlement, all Germans by birth, education and war propa- ganda, who purchased so heavily of all of the offers of Liberty Bonds that the demand exceeded the sup ply. There was an element of safe ty in this move; also, there was a bit of diplomancy. Liberty Bonds prove some things. They do not prove every thing. The quantity bought is one thing; who bought ] them, another.
 To those who answered the call to .arms-all honor to them. We did not refer to them and the pee-pee knows tiff it knows anything which we doubt. But there were some who didn't, weren't there? And they flung back their papers to avoid the draft, didn't they? The number who did this is known. and was known long before THE AL ASKAN came on the field
 Such statements hurt" you re- mark. Aye, this should have been thought of before Don't go after us for something already known from hades to the golden steps. By making it uncomfortable for this class of people, we'll make it easier for a better class.
 In not one single line of the pee pee's harangue and vomit is there the tiniest attempt at a reply to the article it is supposed to be mulling over It is a dirty broadside with no particular aim and with very foul ammunition.
 Just how good an American is the pee-pee, anyway? We should judge it ig but luke warm at best. Why has it adopted the name of Scandi- navian sea rovers for it's printery and it's delicatessen? True enough the vikings were interesting and adventurous folk. The history of their doings is pleasant reading, but insofar as names go it no more fits here than does the story Of Palo Alto in the high schools of Norway.
 Should pee-pee want to learn something anent the city's reputa- tion let it do mite of investiga- tion eff 1t isn't too late now) as to why the Navy airplanes so gross ly gave Petersburg the cold shake when they came in here summer or so ago.

countrywide meeting has been called
here for Saturday night by A w.

to irrigation, and it is the inten-
ton of the meeting to give such
farmers an opportunity to withdraw
their lands from the district, and TO
admit others WHO are DESTROYS Of
having their lands included, Mr..
Harding states.
Mr.. Harding owns a large acre
age in Hidalgo county on the Mes
tenas tract, which he is DESTROYS or
having included in the district, and
many farmers in Willacy county are

ter the new district. Mr.. Harding
states no other subject will be per-
mitted to come up for discussion.
