MIR. CLAPP TAKES THE
 STAND

The National Electric Light Association held it's annual gathering at Atlantic City, re- gently.
 It is the chief propaganda agency of the power interests, and it's efforts to corrupt schools end colleges, muzzle the news papers, deceive the Women's clubs, and cover the land with 3 web of fakery to protect the swollen profits of an OVerfat industry have been proved again and again before the Federal Trade Commission.
 Paul s. Clapp. managing di- rector of the association, said that the average American fam 1 fly had used 459 kiloWatt hours of current during the past year and paid an average of $30.1C for the same.
 This works out at a little more than 6.5 cents per k.w.h. for do mestic use. Probably MT. ClapE lis crowding the figures. The av craze during the previous yea. was "A cents per k.W.h., anC one doubts such rapid reduc tions.
 l But take it as it stands, as ; measure of what private enter prise" gets out of the American householder.
 On the same day that t1i statement was made, LABOR re ceived a copy of the annual re port of the Ontario Hydro -Elec tric Commission, the publi ownership organization whic. dominates the field in that grea
 Canadian province.

before returning home. The individual fisher man with his family does more to keep MT. Businessman going than do the cannerieS. From cosmetics to silk stockings, the fishermen spend their money for their requirements twelve months in the year. The migra- tory cannery hand comes in as do the migratory trapmen, buy a
 cartoon of cigarettes, a couple
 pair of socks and a clean collar
 and then go to Seattle to spend the balance of their earnings tc build up Seattle
 MT. Businessman, are you helping your customers to get g better earning power? or are you lulling yourself and business to sleep with the idea that some day a millennium will come Wher 1 the canners and trap men vii ipour wealth into your stores?

JUST JIM-DANDY

"* All will agree that the practical termination of can nery expansion and the abolish ment of fishing in streams and near their mouths have had a salutatory effect" Johnny Troy, the Scientific Fisherman of Juneau.
 The vaporings of ignoramuses such as Johnny Walker governs the fisheries of Alaska and only to the hurt of residents who are trying to make their homes in the Territory
 The real benefit accruing from Henry O'Malley edicts, is the depriving of residents of their earning powers. When this pope of Alaska's fisheries decrees that Saginaw Bay shall be closed commercial fishing from certain designated points last year and drives out a Petersburg Packing Company trap and all resident seiners, then opens up the same area a mile further in this year to permit another corporation to put in it's trap, we challenge the honesty of O'Malley's mo- tive.
 Certainly it is not conserva- tion of salmon for he rescindS the conservation idea when he permits the trap this year. Oh yes, Henry is honest in his con trol of the fisheries-hOneSt, w say in kicking out Alakans an( honest in handing a resource belonging to the people.
 He is certainly working for ; sense of security" from tn competition of seines when h issues his papal bull forbiddin seining operations on one sid of certain channels on the Wes Coast of Prince of Wales Island while he permits the traps t operate unrestricted on tn other side of the same channe Oh yes, Henry is honest in hi administration of Alaska's fish eries-for the canning trust.

THERE ARE NONE 2?

we believe that there is none in Alaska who would have the situation back where it was be- fore Commissioner O'Malley took charge of things, and there are few, indeed, who do not be- lieve MT. O'Malley is the right man in the right place. ."-Vam- pire.
 Now, now Johnny, if you got out of your narrow Juneau rut and travelled among men who really know something about the fisheries, you would never say "Crisco" Henry was the right man in the right place. Even the vote in the past several elections show what MT. Aver age Alaskan thinks of "Crisco' O'Malley.
 ! There are some who ever challenge his honesty of purpose in his regulation of the fisher ies and there are some who ev- en talk of gummy money and its power to influence impecuniou, officials.

LOGICAL MAIL CENTER

Juneau Chamber of Commerce is making great effort through the postal department to have Juneau as center of mail distri- button for the Chatham Straits section It has the Sitka- -Skag- way service and the Chicagof and Frederick Sound service at this time.
 The logical mail center for Chatham Straits mail distribu- tion is Petersburg. It is closest and is not handicapped by the Taku winds which hold up even 1he large passenger steamers. A regular mail service out of Pe- tersburg to Chatham Straits Of fees will mean a more regular and dependable service to the points to be served. As service to that section is the keynote of the mail contracts, considera- tiOn should be given at this time to the claims of Petersburg.
 Petersburg has been the feed- CT town of Juneau and Ketchi- kan long enough. It is time that it stepped out and got some of these contracts for itself and let Ketchikan and Juneau rustic a bit for themselves from their own areas.

that in the same municipalities served by Hydro" 86.8 per cent of the current used for domcs- tic purposes costs the consim- cr 1.9 cents per k.w.h., or less; .12.1 per cent costs from 2 cents 10 3.9 cents; per cent costs from { cents to G.9 cents; and onIy one-tenth of 1 per cent costs z cents CT more per k.w.h.
 So according to Mr. Clapp's own showing, nine -tenths of the domestic consumers of Ontario get their current at less than one third the average rate in the United States, and only about one Ontario customer in l i 900 pays more than the Am erlcan average
 It is fair to say that the av- craze for domestic use in on-
 tario is less than 2 cents per k. lw.h, Therefore Canadians pay 1S9.18 for the 459 kiloWatt hours for which Americans pay $30.1O. l Multiply that by the total humber of families and you will
 zee why the Trust can afford to spend millions to educate" vic l tims.
 The difference on the two lsides of the Canadian boundary lis the difference between eX- !ploitation and service. ;; Efficiency of private enter prise puts money in the pock- )Iets of the Trust; the efficiency
 of public ownership leaves mon } ley in the pockets of the consum- CT.
