The Houston, Tex, Informer and
the Pittsburgh Courier of last week
published in full the lengthy official
proclamation of Grand Chancellor
Robert B. Barcus announcing that
the Grand Jurisdiction of Ohio
would be unable to continue its af
filiation with the Supreme Lodge,
Knights of Pythias, N A., s. A,
E. A. and A., on account or the
heavy taxation entailed in the eff
fort to build a Pythian temple in
Chicago, H., which under no scheme
of reasoning would be self-support'
ing, and which is now S335,OOO IN
debt, with receivershlp threaten
ing.
Right on the heels of this comes
the announcement that Supreme
Chancellor S. w. Green has called a
meeting of the Grand Chancellors in
order to secure immediate funds to
prevent the Western Iron Construc-
ton Co. from making application
for a receivership for the building
Here is the copy of the letter:
Western Construction Co., Inc,
49O6 North Clark Street,
Chicago, Oct. S, 1929.
Mr.. S. ". Green,
507 Temple Bldg,
New Orleans, La.
Dear Sir:
Upon my return to the city to-
day / was much surprised to learn
that we have received to date only a
little over $17,000.00 of total past
l,,o &C eel 7OS m
We are being pushed and squeezed
by our banks, who cannot see why
proper plan of financing was not
done by you long ago in anticipation
of this crisis.
The sum and substance of all this
is: we want our money and want
it at once, as we do not see why
we should wait for the expiration
date of your proclamation calling
for this tax.
May we suggest that you call a
meeting at once of all the Grand
Chancellors, at which time they will
be advised that g receiYership for
the building will be instituted un-
less each and every Grand Lodge
comes to the immediate rescue of
the Supreme Lodge and pay our
money. Surely the Grand Chancel-
lors confronted with the ignomy and
financial loss of this project will find
a way to meet at once the just OBJ
legations of the Knights of Pythias
to us.
May / hear from you in frank
way upon my suggestion?
Yours very truly,
WESTERN IRON CONSTRUC-
TION co.

The threat to suspend the Grand
Lodge of North Carolina for its in
ability to pay the sum assessed
against it was carried out under date
of October 21, 1929. But this
brought about an anomalous condi-
ton of affairs, for the Commission
er of Insurance of North Carolina
took hand and directed the Grand
Lodge, Knights of Pythias, Inc, not
to send any money out of the State
to pay on this Pythian temple fund.
Should the Grand Lodge of North
Carolina disregard this instruction,
its license to do business in that
State would be revoked.

TURN IT OVER TO THE DEPARTMENT
 OF JUSTICE.

President Hoover's recommendation that Prohibit tion enforcement be turned over to the Department of Justice is sound There is where it ought to have been from the beginning. There would have been a lot less lawlesness in the enforcement if the De- partment of Justice with it's knowledge of the law, it's experience law enforcement and it's traditions had been in charge. There would not have been so much contempt the part of the average citizen for the law and it's enforcement because procedure would have been orderly and lawful, and Pro- hibition enforcement would have been on all fours with the enforcement of other laws.
 There is no more reason why there should be a special organization to enforce Prohibition than why there should be special organizations to enforce the laws against arson and robbery. It is contrbutory to disrespect for other laws when large force of men with millions at it's disposal is designated for the enforcement of a particular statute. It results in turning loose a lot of with guns and clubs whose position is that their task is the main ob- jective of the Government instead of just of the multudiness matters that occupy its attention
 Congress ought immediately to give the President the legislation necessary to carry into effect his pose to put Prohibition with the other laws where it belongs.

 Nature may never have intended it for special purpose but the average man finds a foot a mighty useful thing for rubbing the ashes, d. opped from cigar or cigarette. in the carpet so his wife won't mo- tice them.

 When wives quit pressing their husbands trousers for them, press sem- -while-you wait joints were op- ened up. and it seems strange they haven't opened up p.aces like that where a man can get his socks alarmed, too.
 It is getting so a woman now considers it as much of a disgrace to wear warm underwear in the winter as she used to think it was to go without certain unmention- ables in summer.

hibtion enforcement the principal objective of the Government He would have but affirmative Prohbitionists in public office of any kind in the Nation the States or minor political divisions in the Army or Navy. In short, everyone from the policeman on the beat the country constable, the buck private in the Army, the gob in the Navy, to the President of the United States, must be believer in Prohibition and conscentiousy regard it's enforcement as the matter of prime importance ln the Government
 Dr Wilson emphatcaly endorses the Michigan law which makes violation of the Volstead Act felony and which provides that after four convlc- tons for felonous law violation the penalty must be imprisonment for life Under this law several citi- zens of that State, one of them the mother of ten children have been sent to the State penitentary for life
 The Christian Herald, while not specific in its declarations backs up the position of the radical Methodist Board on both the relative importance of the Prohibition laws in the general scheme of things and in it's attitude toward the Michigan law which sends Volstead volators to the penitentary for life terms
 Of course it is no secret that all these demon stratons are gestures for the benefit of MT Hoover They are serving notice him. His Administration must carry the Prohibition laws in one hand and a gun in the other. There must be no mercy The 'pussyfooting of Coolidge must retire with him on the fourth of March Otherwise, woe unto Hoover!

COUNCILMAN WILSON
 RETURNS TO JUNEAU
 AFTER LONG VACATION

NIT. and Mrs. M II. Wilson re- turned home aboard the steamer Alaska after an auto tour and va cation in the States that covered over four months. Today both MT. and Mrs. Wilson stated that they were absolutely fit' and the lengthy trip was most enjoyable, but they were very glad to be home in Juneau and among their many friends.
 From Seattle the couple traveled by train to Chicago and from there to Auburn Indiana, where a sport model Auburn Sedan was received direct from the factory. From there an auto tour, that was to cover over 1000 miles before ending, was start ed
 Through the Great Lake States they toured north into Ontario and spent a few days in Toronto MT Wilson said that when in Toronto the weather was ideal, being pleas antly warm. From the Canadian city the Wilson's turned toward the south and enroute to Tennessee stopped over the Christmas holidays in New York city. Philadelphia was also visited before they reached the picturesque Shenandoah Val ley, where they thoroughly enjoyed the real southern weather for sev- eral days before continuing.
 Driving through the Southern states by way of Texas the Pacific coast was reached about six weeks ago. At San Diego friends were visited there and also at Long Beach.
 Homeward bound up the coast, Los Angeles, San Francisco and Portland were all visited for few days. Then from Seattle, not con- tent with the several thousand miles already covered, they took the steamer to Victoria and in the British Columbia Wonder City spent the last of what they both refer to as the vacation of life time.
 The Wilson's brought to Juneau with them the car that was used on the long tour. MT. Wilson is highly pleased with it's perform ance. At Auburn, Indiana, where the car is manufactured, the couple visited at length the mammoth plant and the town of Auburn thai is supported entirely by the huge factories.
 MT. Wilson said today that nc

FORD RAILWAY
CALLED JUNK
Line Virtually Taken From
Scrap Heap And Made
To Pay Profit
BY DAVID J. WILKIE
(ASSOciated Press CORRESPONDENT

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondent
DETROIT, July 18.-(P)-Whep
Henry Ford sold the Detroit, Toledo
and Ironton railroad he disposed Of
a property he had taken virtually
from the junk heap and converted
into a paying proposition.
For the 80 years before Ford &C
quired it in 1920, the road had
limped along from one receivership
to another.
The success that attended Ford'S
entry into the railroad field par
a1leled, in a smaller way, the in
dustrial epic he wrote in the crea-
ton Of his automobile business.
In the case of the automobile in
terests he started with $4,000 in
1903. Some twenty odd years later
he was reported to have refused
l 1000, 900 900 for his property.
With the railroad property Ford
started in 1920 with $4,000 900. Six
years later the interstate commerce
commission placed a tentative val
uation Of $11,826,300 on the proper
ty and Ford himself protested that
for rate-making purposes a fair
return" was $23,061,208.
Ford performed the seeing mir
acle Of making the dying railroad
pay him handsome profits by a
procedure that was contrary to all
economic logic. The profits came
not because Ford instituted econ
onies, but because he increased eX-
penditureS for maintenance Of way
and for equipment and also he be-
lived, because he paid railroad en-
ployes the same scale of wages he
had instituted in his factories.
The road, under Ford ownership,
was a thorn in the side of the rail-
roads Of the country generally;
first because of the Sc a day min
imun wage and, latterly, on ac-
count Of the identification Of a
large part Of the right of way,
which Ford instituted in defiance
Of the advice Of most railroad en-
gineers.
Purchase Of the D. T. & I. was
not merely a whim on the part Of
Henry Ford; it was a shrewd bust
ness deal. It was to cut the time
between raw material to cash in
the bank that Ford took it over.
When Ford purchased the road
its mileage was 468, the main line
extending from Detroit to Ironton,
Ohio. Spurs and additions during
the Ford operation brought the
mileage to 500.
Much Of the financial success Of
D. t. & I. under Ford ownership
was due to the fact that it got
business in exchange from other
roads to which Ford interests
awarded contracts for hauling their
freight after it once left the D. T.
& /.
