REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY.

The conduct of the communitys affairs is bus- ness matter Each person over the age of 21 years, who has resided in Alaska for as much as one year and the city of Juneau six months is a stockholder in that business The Mayor and members of the City Council who elected from year to year compose the board of directors acting for the stock holders in the management of their business enter prise.
 As in the afTstrs of private corporations and companies each stockholdof in this public business hss the right Co have voice in the management, but t must be utteled through the board There fore in order to effectively exercise his right and protect it. each citizen must have part in the naming of the members of the board. And regard less of the value of property owned, each citizen has as much to say any other in this procedure. Every one who can qualify has vote. But it can only be exercised by registration.
 The registration books, which are in the office of the City Clerk, will remain open until Saturday evening It is the duty of every qualified citizen to register and after that to vote at the election next Tuesday. Anyone who negects that duty if he becomes dissatisfied during the coming year with the manner in which the comumnitys business is being conducted has no just cause to air that com- plaint

Ifunctory judgment. Many months if in fact not years will be necessary for & complete survey. Primarily, of course the country is interested mainly in the Prohibition end of the inquiry. Both the Drys and the Antis desire dispassionate sur vey of conditions and the Commission proposed by President Hoover seems to be the most likely source of that It should approach the situation with un- biased minds to get at the real facts and render its findings impartiay with recommendations that are based on all the known factors in order that the problems can be met While it should deal with the entire subject in a suitable to its serious ness and without haste neither should it delay it's findings too long. There is too much bitterness on both sides for the best interests of the nation and as long as current conditions remain unchanged this bitterness will intensity rather than become less marked
 By all means let the Commission make complete survey while it is at work But let it's first work be directed toward the Prohibition issue and the problems of it's enforcement

THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION

Press despatches disclose that President Hoover is moving slowly and with caution in selecting the members of the Law Enforcement Commission. This is the attitude that would naturally be expected from him since his training and experience as an engineer would tend to lead him to pick persons in whose judgment he had implicit confidence and give them free hand in their Investigations.
 It is apparent the President has laid out tre- mendous task for the Commission. First suggested body to study Prohibition and it's enforcement, it has now broadened into inquiry into all law enforcement including Customs violations narcotics, Court procedure and other subjects pertaining to general enforcement. It is not work that can be entered into superfcially passed with per-

Election Day May Be Advanced.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

Legislators sitting at Juneau are conIderlng proposal ask Congress to advance the legislative sessions to January and the biennial election a month There seems objection to either of these proposals and many reasons why they should be approved
 As provided by law now the Legislative session does not come to end until the first of May. Then the members have to travel many hundreds of miles to thier homes with the result that many greatly delayed in their seasonable operations, either in the fisheries in mining. With the better of transportation in Alaska by air, train and steamship, there is why the members could not meet five six weeks earlier
 Advancement of election days is advisable be- cause there many, particularly in the Northern Divisions who are compelled to leave for the States on business at the end of their seasons work and who, while among the heaviest taxpayers are not permitted to exercise their right of franchise It even appears that it would be still better if Con- gress should set the time for the general election in early September instead of October suggested in the Legislature.

Market for American Mining Timber.
Engineering and Mining JournaD


 Northern Sonora is the largest consumer of Am erican mining timbers of any Mexican region, ac- cording a report of the United States Department of Commerce. The National Mining Chamber has estimated that the total consumption of timber and lumber by the larger mining companies of Mexico is 94000000 board feet annually, of which 29000- 900 board feet is imported and the remainder native The same authority states that about 24000000 board feet of the imported material is consumed by mining companies in Sonora and Lower California. Of the remainder of the imports IT per cent. is consumed in Chihuahua and Coahuila leaving 06 per cent for the mines of the interior
 From 1923 to 1921 inclusive, imports of lumber and timbers averaged slightly above 16000000 board feet annually of which 14000000 board feet was sawn lumber and the remainder round tmbers The greater part of this is mine props although much of it is employed in concentrators where boards are used for lauders Considerable lumber is likewise needed in connection with many subsidiary activi- ties of mining companies notably in construction of housing for their employees.

Again we notice more suggestions
coming to light on the Farm Relief
question, this time from Prestonia
Mann Martin, the distinguished writ
er and publicist, who has outlined the
following suggestions for helping the
American farmer:
The main trouble with the farmers
IS the danger to which they are al
ways liable of oyer-production. The
nation needs each year only a GER
tain. volume of staple crops and can
not consume and will not pay for any
more. The market cannot be ex-
banded and new people be persuad-
ed to eat bread, for example, for
everybody eats bread now
The farmer has no means of know
ing what his share should be in the
job. of satisfying the nations needs.
He produces at random and more
farmers are in the business than are
needed. Farmers, like an army with
out a general, are suffering from a
lack of centralizing guidance. Loan
ing them money will not help this

tariff do it unless we enact tariff
exclusively in the farmers favor,
taxing everything that he grows and
letting everything else come in free

according to Mr.. Martins theory, and
assigned his due quota, according to
the size of his farm, of the nations
required staples. Mr. Hoover's Fed
eral Farm Board could do this and be
better employed than in revolving
three hundred millions of dollars in
farm loans" The Board should then
guarantee to the farmer a fixed,
staple price for his crop-the price
to be fixed by the cost of growing it
on the best lands under the best con-
ditions, thus crowding out the poor
farmer who is hopelessly struggling
on poor soil. The Board should fix
the price no more and no less, Martin
writes, and see that he gets it. Each
farmers quota should be widely pub
lished in agricultural and other pap
ers so that all his neighbors as we'll
as the millers etc, should know pre-
cisely what it was.
Farmers who should persist any
how in producing more than their !
quota could not sell their surplus in !
the domestic market but would have
to export it at a lower European
price, which would not, however, af-
feet the fixed and guaranteed price
at home. Thus the farmer would no |
longer be enslaved by Liverpool but |
would be re-instated as an American
Licensed and limiting is not a new
idea, Martin contends. Other trades |
are licensed and regulated in order |
to protect them and the public. Why
not the farmer? immigration is re-
stricted to certain quotas. Parking |

are limited by capacity"
The farmers operations, too, should I
be limited by the public's capacity to
consume his output That would pro-
tect him and protect the public. The |
farmer wastes himself in failing to
conform to this limit If he fails
because he does not know how to ac-
complish this, then he should be
shown how, and he should then be
guaranteed his proper reward and his
proper security for so doing.
Senator Capper has written Mr.
Martin that in his opinion, this plan /
would interfere too much with per-
sonal liberty and individual rights,
but as Martin sees the matter, the |
only right which the farmers would |
be deprived of by this plan would
be the right to ruin themselves per-
iodically.

have to offer for a solution of this
