APPEAL FOR GOLD STAR
 MOTHERS

Effort was made by national organizations to have the last Senate give consideration to a bill providing that the govern ment shall defray the expenses of a pilgrimage to France of all mothers whose sons died in the war and are now lying in the cemeteries of Europe. The pill grimage would be under the di- 'rection and supervision of the War Department and the Ameri- can Red Cross.
 This bill was passed unanimous ly by the House of Representa- tives but did not get as rapid a consideration in the Senate.

i CHAIN STORES ANNOUNCE
 g Per Cent GAIN IN JANUARY

Sales reported for January by 31 chain store organizations in- creased by 25.5 per cent over sales by the same chains in Jan- uary of last year, this rate re- presenting a considerable ad- vance over the average gains registered in the final months of last year.
 Combined sales by the 31 chain systems in January were $121,- 439,083, against $96,756,846 in the corresponding month of 1928 the actual increase amounting to $24,682,237.
 Much of the increase is due to the normal gain in trade and to the upswing of business which gathered headWay early last ,year and continued thru Janu- ary. A larger part of the gain however, is attributable to the expansion of the reporting chain systems themselves. Many mer- gers of smaller systemst with the larger companies were con- summated in 1928, with substan- tial increases in the number of sales outlets maintained by the
 reporting companies.
 In addition, virtually all hcain
 organizations opened new stores.
 There were indications last year that sales per store were making small progress in the chain store
 field, by far the greater part of
 the increasing sales being due to new outlets.
 The greatest individual in-
 dividual increase recorded ir
 January was that of the Kroge1 Grocery and Baking Company with sales of $24,694,795, against !S16,O15,718 in January, 1928.

HOME STILL IS HIS CASTLE

Be it in Alaska or any where else in the United States a citi- zen's constitutional right to de- fend his home against unlawful intrusion was upheld recently in scathing terms by Municipal Judge Louis Russil of Los An geles who may be considered a trif1e old fashioned in some quarters.
 Judge Russil dismissed a fel- ony assault charge against Chas Dunscomb when this opinion was made by the court.
 A detective and another of1c- CT tried to force their way into Dunscomb's home without g search warrant to look for li- quor. Dunscomb, who testified that he knows his rights anc intends having them, disarmet the detective after struggle and chased both policemen of his property. He was later cap tured in his home by an over whelming number of police ane taken to the court where the charge of felonious assault f1lec against him was dismissed.

But what I started to say; as an uninterested spectator, is that | we have just laid down an issue of a weekly magazine that says the United States Secretary of Labor Davis, says, that 86 per cent of the people are poor. Now he means poor, not maybe. Now if this is true, and we have read where several United States Sen ators have said recently about the same thing, then we have it, that 14 per cent of our beloved people have all the wealth.
 Of course, it is not for us to say, being a diSinterested class, if we think it right or wrong for the A per cent to have all the wealth, the 86 per cent produce. But there is quite a ballahOoing around, that the 14 per cent do not create any wealth. We workers, and farmers, wonder how they can be expected to when they are so alarmed busy storing away what the 86 per cent produces. These same fel- lows claim that if the 14 per cent did not play golf so much
 and banquet so much, they

 duction, because they say, all the

REDUCING TAXES

''The legislature that meets in Juneau next month ought to re- duce taxes. ."-Juneau Vampire.
 This is a safe generalization that pleases the ear of the tired business man" But suppose the Legislature does not decrease the appropriations? or even in creases them. How can the le- gislature then reduce taxes?
 Those who clamor for "reduc- ed taxes" should oppose unne- cessary appropriations. For ex- ample, the resolution of the Cor dova Chamber of Commerce ask ing for the establishment of fish hatcheries at an expense of over a hundred thousand dol lars. Increase of Pioneers pen sions asked by Anchorage Cham Der of Commerce will add anoth- CT $50, ,00O; the Fairbanks" Col lege usually means another S1OO. 900; and don't forget the third leg of our government, Road En- gineer, $4,000; and the tail, pension for Stroller Whites family as assistant curator of the Alaska Museum.
 We are not necessarily opposed to all of this, but we think the Juneau Vampire should be hon. est enough to tell the legislature what appropriations should be reduced so that the tax rate could be reduced.

THIS IN THE UNITED STATES

It is stated that 'sracketeer- ing" in Chicago cost that city in the neighborhood of $136, 100000 a year.
 A few years ago Italy was heartily condemned by the Unit ed States because of the a.ctivi- ties of the Mafia in Italy and in the United States. Mafla as com pared to 'racketeering" is mere child's play.
 The Italian government: took the Maf1a situation in hand and Smothered it's activities rThe State governments seem power less, and the central government seems indifferent to the situa- tion. The difference being in manner of punishment. Italy lined a few up against the wall and shot them and forced oth- CTS to swallow a quart of castor oil. They certainly got it out of them. In the United States the government-the people-are afraid to even give the castor oil.

 Dear EditOr.-

Dear Editor
 May I have a little space in your valuable paper, by which ] may plead with the wise? Our inability to understand all that ts being said about this phe- nomenal wave of prosperity that has been sweeping over this country of ours. If one would talk at time, it seems to me it would be much more easy for us that have to spell out the words to understand. We read columns any and everywhere President Coolidge elaborately told of his qualified prosperity. Such as this gets us all fused up;-we become proud we are Americans,-and all that kind of sensations.

GIVE IT A THOUGHT

A business man does not for a single moment snap any old Tom, Dick or Harry and give him carte blanch, authority to run the business and issue checks on bank account or decide on defln- ite policies that woud vitally ef- feet the business. Yet the bus mess men of the average Alas ka community does just that thing in selecting councilmen to handle the affairs of the city.
 All of which is brought forth by the recent caucus when a handful of business men and others picked several men for the important business of look ing after the finances and other vital matters efecting the com munity for the immediate flu ture.
 Never before in the history of this town were the problems more vital or serious. Never was it more important that men with interest solely for the good of the communitl be elected; nev- CT before, in our years of resi- dence here were the problems more complex and serious; nev- CT suhc indifference shown by the citizens of the town.
 It is high time every citizen awakened to his duty and the gravity of the situation and de eide on a definite constructive policy that will take the com munity out of financial dol drums and make it a deSireable one to live in. If we are wrong, we invite correction. If right we urge your support in making conditions right
