NEW YORK. October 31.-Ths New

Losses of $50,00o,000 were attributed

a few years ago switched the interest
from the Chicago grain market to Wall

amassed a fortune of S100,000,000
The seven Fisher brothers of Detroit

In the bear camp no one could be

WALTER FISHER

One thing about Fisher is this he doesn't bother himself about leadership. He leaves that to Joe Murray.
 But why call himself "inde- pendent?"
 He has certain type of cour- age tho which explains why he introduced the eight four bill. Was it a fight for bettering the conditions of labor? Not at all. He was merely trying to take re- venge on the Fairbanks ExplO- ration Company for some fan cied wrong. After the House de- feated this bill, Fisher again left the worries of leadership to Joe Murray.
 Fisher is one of those who are responsible for the small appro- priation for the Fairbanks Col- lege. If he and those like him continue to be elected from the Fourth Division, Alaska may sec it's "Farthest North College" a thing of memory books.

Senator Arthur Frame Discusses
 Legislation

was intended to place the ad- ministration of the affairs of the territory in the hands of officials ansWerable to the people. Dur ing the last political campaign, one of the blanks of the Demo- cratic Party in the Territory de- clared for full home rule, and control of the furs and game, fisheries, etc. The attitude of members of Congress upon this subject was very closely express ed in the debate on Senate Bill 4257 which was a bill to author ize certain payments by the Treasurer of Alaska which had been held void by a decision of the District Court of the First Division. Several members of Congress vigorously opposed the passage of this bill upon the ground t.1at it would prove an attempt to turn the Territory back to the United States and the facts brought out indicated that the people were disposed to give over to Federal Officials the powers they had received from Congress. With what grace can the people of Alaska ask control over the game, fisheries, etc., when they do not have enough pride or enoug.I confidence in themselves to select the trustees of their own Agricultural College or to manage the affairs of their Pioneers HOme?"

THE CHINAMAN

Rev. Sam G. Davis, of Kasaan, tells t,,so story of an old China man who had two wives, a young one and an old one. While the older one went away, the young one got the old Chinaman to pull out all his gray hair. But when the older wife returned, she said,, "What have you been doing? Now pull out all your black hair" And so the Chinaman had no lair.
 And thus it WI, be so long as the people are divided.-The ALASKAN.
The Alaska fisherman., 1929-06-15

the principles of home rule and the ultimate control of the af- fairs of the Territory were again getting into the hands of the people. And he didn't shed any tears over that fact. If he re- turns as a member two years hence, Joe Mcdonald can be re- lied upon to do effective work for tlIe Territory.

 Charges of Undue Influence"
 There has been some critl- cism regarding the action Of the Board of Education in refusing to re-elect MT. Henderson as Com missioner of Education. W-l2n it was learned that some other person might be chosen in his place, some of his friends made a personal appeal to various members of the Board. I WAS PROMISED THE POSITION OF DISTRICT ATT O R N FEY T NOME, IF I WOULD VOTE FOR HIM. The law creating the position says the commissioner shall be chosen on merit; but what considerations of merit can enter into his selection, if it is assumed that the members of the board of education are so venal and corrupt tat their votes can be bought for the promise of a political job
 The Board of Control Bill
 Senate Bill No. 35, which pro- vided for the reorganization Of the executive powers of the ter ritory was very similar to a bill which passed the House in 1927 regarding the same matter. Con- siderable gain was made in the bill as it ultimately passed for the Territorial Banking Board and the Territorial Board of Road Commissioners will now be composed of three members, two of whom will be elected by t.la people and will be directly ansWerable to the people for their conduct. The usual ex- pressed objection to the bill is that it would tend to create a political machine, which would be obnoxious to the public good. This is the argument of those who profit by maintaining the machine which at present con- trols the political affairs of t!se Territory.

industries.
Special pispateh 70 Tn. Star.

special Dlepaten 70 Ine 6ters
NEW YORK. July 1-waT Street
Is watching the commodity price situa-.
ton In more than one direction these
days. Interest centers In wheat, oils,
copper and sugar. Perhaps sugar takes
first place now, largely because Of the
political factors involved.
Although there has been o slight
rally In the last week or 80, raw sugar
has recently been selling at the lowest
in q quarter Of q century, and sugar
futures at the lowest in the history Of
the Sugar Exchange. Prices are below
the cost Of production, and normally
recovery would be indicated, for it is
an economic axiom that no commodity
for any considerable length Of time. 1t
Is the tariff situation, however, that
brings In . factor incalculable in effect
1t may be that the proposed sliding
sugar duty will solve the problem, but
meanwhile the Cuban producers are
facing extreme difficulties. The market
price Of their securities is sufficient
proof OF that statement. Cuban Cane
debentures 8s, for instance, selling
around go. yield over IS per cent on q
straight income basis and q fantastic
amount to maturity six months hence.
Eastern Cuban Sugar TVS, subsidiary
company Of Cuba Cane, sell on basis
to yield more than IL per cent Maniti
Sugar 71as. the obligation of one of
the stronger companies, sell to yield
8.75 per cent. Cuban American IS sell
to yield approximately per cent. None
OF these Cuban companies Is paying
any dividends on its stocks, common or
preferred.
The other price situation Of unusual
interest Is that in copper. At the 18
cent rate now prevailing, handsome
profits are assumed to the producers.
Even some reduction in the rate for
the metal would still leave the COM
panies with attractive net income.
There has been, however, so long Pc
riod of quiet In the market that It is
not at all certain which way the price
will turn. There has been no hint
Of concern In the market for the stocks
but any new forward movement must
await the clearing up Of this uncer-
tainty.

impression on Wall Street, because
there are indications elsewhere that
the long period of extreme money
rates is ending. Time loans have drop
ped down to 71a per cent, compared
with better than per cent during the
Spring credit disturbance.
The only, new aspect Of this situation
Is the heavy loss of gold by the Bank
of England To this country and to Ger
many, which has reduced its reserve
ratio quite sharply and encouraged the.
belief that it may be necessary for this
institution to erect another barrier
against drafts on its gold supply in
the form of higher rediscount rate
This need not necessarily affect the
Federal Reserve rate, which seems to
be more in line, for a reduction than for
further advance.
Business Shows Vitality.
Obviously there could not have been
such recovery as has occurred in,
stocks since the May decline had the
visible currents of trade been flowing
slowly. Not the least remarkable of the
many influences bearing on security
prices Is the vitality of business. There
Is O continuation Of the enormous pur-
chasing power and great expansive
movements in spite of the discourage
mentS that nave occurred IN the past
few months. It looks now as though
the June quarters would show industri-
al results nearly as satisfactory as in
the March quarter. and that. in spite
of the setback from the decline in
prices of farm products, there would
be earnings during the Summer months
comparing favorably with those Of a
year ago.
Until there is more evidence Of trade
recession. and with it lower earnings
and smaller dividends, it does not ap-
pear likely that people who have funds
to invest, and who are protecting their
speculative securities with abnormal
margins, are likely to be forced into
giving up these securities, even though
their earning power is much less than
they might realize on savings bank
deposit on the low rate allowed In
many sections on checking accounts.
