Political Post MOrtem.
(Ketchikan Chronicle.)

With the official returns for the First Judicial Division of Alaska complete, one views in retro spect the results and the causes therefor Some of those running on the Republican ticket for the Legislature may trace their defeat back to the visit to Southeastern Alaska of Frank Foster, at torney of Cordova who attempted to adorn and clothe himself with the mantle once worn by Boss Shackeford.
 MT Foster dreamed dreams and visions. He pictured himself to himself, and ts said, to others, as 1882 candidate for Delegate to Congress. To prepare himself amply in advance he sought to preach harmony" a word much used in the recent campaign The result of his work was that Gardner land Scott joined hands with those forces which they had defeated in the primaries resulting in jtheir annhilation at the hands of the voters.
 In the Third Division, Foster again for the Legislature and on the face of returns received to date is apparently defeated
 While the Legislature is in session next Spring he will be permitted to remain at home, not both cred by the of state to dwell upon his efforts he would have done much betetr had he remained in his own bailiwick, to mind his business in stead of attempting to tell the people of the First Division what they should do and how they should do it.
 And no doubt whenever MT. Scott thinks of harmony" the visions of the Rake vote will rise before his eyes ever reminder that along the line forgetful of the password harmony or that he given of the finest double ever presented to any person running any ticket
 in Alaska.
 Reports from all Divisions indicate that the Legislature in the next session will be made up generally of high class men who will give the Ter ritory constructive legislation

Mexico at Peace.
(NeW York Times. ]

(New York Times)
 While revolutions have overturned Governments in Argentine, Peru and Brazil there is unrest in Mexico My country" said ex-Presdent Portes Gil in New York has not been affected in any way" He was provisonaly in office from the time of the assassination of President Obregon until the inauguration of Ortiz Rubio. He is now on his way to Europe to study economic, trade and social con- ditons There have been stories that the present Government of Mexico is not functionng smoothly, and that political ambitions were beginning to stir again, which if true would be sinister. To reports of the kind Senor Portes Gil gives emphatic contradiction:
 The present regime in Mexico is a grad
 ual consolidation of the ideas of Carranza
 and Oregon The Government has the
 backing of public opinion, and it is carrying
 out the program of social reforms roadbuid
 ing public works, and the irrigation schemes
 proposed by former President Gales. Un-
 employment is negligible There is no sign
 of political disturbance
 Work and recration have done much to keep the people contented. The temperance movement takes the form of educating them in abstinence Tt is not Prohibition that we are aiming at," says the President. Sports are encouraged. Everywhere parks have been opened Cafes are not so crowded as they The consumption of liquor has ap- precably declined. "The new policy has been par tcularly effective among the working classes. Road building in Mexico is proceeding at such pace that with the opening of the sector between
 
 continuous lane of motor travel will be in motion from the United States border at Laredo Texas, and Nejapa in the State of Oaxaca. Nejapa is 200 miles southeast of the City of Mexico and well down toward the Isthmus of Tehuantepec MT. w. H. Furlong of the San Antonio Chamber of Com merce, who has made a survey of road construc- ton in Mexico, says:
 The crews detailed to the Valles-Jacala
 sector numbering thousands, are di-
 vided into two units, each being in charge
 of the pick of Mexican engineers These
 great forces equipped with every type of
 modern d-bulding machinery, push
 ing rapidly north and south
 Until the gap is closed he advises American motorists not to undertake journey to the City of Mexico He describes the engineers as mostly young men well educated efficient polite to strang CTS and proud of their commission" "Frendness of the people, even in the most isolated regions, was very marked" Mexico, recovered from the revolutionary fever and hard at work, is no longer hostile to strangers

WHY NOT PRACTICE CONSERVATION

It is perhaps timely to recall once more the agitation of the past year emanating from Eastern conservationsts anent Alaskan indifference Despite the unusually large measure of protection gwen pig game in the Territory, Alaskans have been assaled in many quarters and on occasion by individuals usually regarded reliable for removing all pro- lection from some species
 Alaskans too, have a protest to enter ii the name of game conservation. It is a fairly well established fact that there more brown bears killed by nonresident big game hunters than are slaughtered by Alaskans People of this Territory do not hunt them idly as a sporting pastime. Of course there are a few Alaskans who do SO, but their number are so small that their aggregate kill has app ble effect upon the bear popu- lation. Hunting for the nonresident is made easy by the present low hunting license feeony $50 for all species of big game. Fortified with such a li- cense, a nonresident big game hunter of American nationality is permitted to kill two brown bear, three deer two caribou two mountain sheep two noun tain goats and one The license fee probably is sufficiently high for sportsmen the type of hunter who is discriminating in his killing taking just the kind he desires and not destroying wrecklessly to the limit of his permit just because he legally do it. At the same time it is cheap enough to permit the killer to get in his deadly work un- hampered. To check this sort of individual, the Commission might impose trophy tax in addition to the hunting license, making it sufficiently high to deter the killer It would not be costly to the genuine sportsman who probably would be glad to pay it in order to obtain the extra protection it would insure.
 A second for protest is held by Alaska. That lies in the waste of meat entaled by trophy hunting. To a large degree nonresidents come here to get trophies to take back home It is exceptional for one of them to be conc cnt with a single head Many of them kill al he law allows if the oppor- tunity offers. That resulUo in many tons of moose caribou, sheep and goat meat being left in the hills to rot utter waste food for wolves coyotes and birds ol prey It is not unlikely that more meat is so thrown away each year than is consumed in the same period of time by all Alaskans com bined. Whethcr or not the waste is criminal, there is argumeu about t being wanton.
 Alaskan hunters do not countenance one of their kind engaging Ill such practices. Any local sportsman guilty of killing game and leaving it in the hills becomes anathema. If he hunts he does it alone.
 Conservation advocates residing in the States who lose chance to preach their doctrine to Us of the North, should look into this matter. But should not wait for them to correct it. The Alaska Game Commission has the authority ano might with all propriety act in the premises to make wanton waste criminal It is done in the fisheries why not in game?

The Advertisers.

No time in the history of the country has it had greater need for this agency than the present. The stimulation of the consumers of the nation now is imperative.

DOMINION GOVERNMENT AIDS CANADIAN INDUSTRIES.

The Dominion Governments Department of Trade and Commerce is seeking in practical way to assist Canadian interests in meeting the trade slump caused by the current depression. One form of aid consists of a series of advertisements being pub lished all Canada addressed to retail merchants and through them to the consumers at large.
 These urge the retailers to stock only Canadian grown produce and foods of other kinds Canadian manufactured articles or if foreign food products are necessary then in Canadian packages The merchant is asked to give the preference in every instance to home produced goods foreign made products.
 One paragraph of the Departments advertise ment will show the type of arguments it is using to drive home the fact that buy-at-home is the wsest policy:
 Let suppose that all your customers
 began buyus toreign-made foods and that
 you, with thought of the consequences
 ceased stocking Canadian made foods in
 order to cater to the changed demand. And
 let us further suppose that your competi-
 tor across the street began doing the
 thing at the same time for the reason,
 and that the movement spread to other
 towns and cities til it became general right
 across Canada wouldn't the food factories
 of this country have to close up? And
 with their closing, wouldn't farming in-
 dustries suffer a severe blow? And with
 our farmers in the dodrums wouldn't it be
 only short time before your customers
 began to buy less, and to go in debt with
 you for what little they did buy?
 This argument applies very forcefully to con- munites as well as nations. Suppose every house. holder purchased everything he needed from out of town from the mail order firm How long woulc it be before every store in the community would have
The Daily Alaska empire., 1930-11-28

to close it's doors? That would result in loss of employment in loss of revenue upon which the city is solely dependent for its schools streets, sewers, lights and other public necessities. In the end there would be municipality, nothing except q collection of buildings housing families and +ndi- viduas with no community interest and no civic responsibility pride.
