RINGING THE BELL
 IN PENNSYLVANIA

Politicians eager to gain in dependence (FOR themselves, FROM the voters), are trying to put an end to direct primary voting.
 Any questioning person, how ever, need only shift his glance to Pennsylvania to see the full merit of consulting the pubic on nominations.
 Lobbyist Joseph R. Grundy, appointee and protege of. the Pennsylvania Gang Gan organi- ration noted particularly for it's unique poll organization, which has returned oppositionless votes from Philadelphia precincts, al tho the law requires the placing of at least one opposition official on precinct poll cOmmittees), is defeated for senatorial nomina- tion by liberal Secretary of La bor James J. Davis.

Responsibility for the bureau cratic government which has come into being at Washington and for the superbundance of in spections and supervisory activi- ties that are the stock in trade of the bureaucracy must be rlaced on the. political proposi- tion that the public must be pro- tected. It is giving the politicians credit for too much imagina- tiOn to charge to them the in VentiOn of the one thousand and One ways of the bureaucracy to make new jobs for the reward of party loyalty.
 All for the protection of the citizenry congress and the state legislatures, in the course of a relatively few years, have pass ed laws and appropriated billions i'1 public monies for the inspec- ton of mines, ships, airships, meat and other foods, buildings, plumbing, factories, cellars, /" weights and measures, butter substitutes, diary herds and their products, homes, babies ard so on adinfnitum.

receive a benefit. But when a fiShtrap makes a dollar that is a dollar taken from Alaska's resources to bespent be- yond our borders. The fishtrap has no engines to be re-bored but it supplants at least eight or ten boats. It wears no boots or oilSkins. It consumes no bacon, no coffee no sugar, no coal but the needs of the crews of eight or ten fish boats together with their families makes buSi- ness for everyone. The trap con SumeS no gasoline, buys no Snus CT cigarettS. It's babies need no shoes or school supplies nor take in any picture shows but the families of fishermen use city light and occupy houses that pay taxes. And the best part of it all IS that people in general are be- ginning to realize these things. This year the fishermen have not made fortunes nor even a req 2Onable grub stake but they have been permitted to participate to a limited extent in the fishing md already the business men realize what a difference a few cents make, and what a differ 2nce it makes if they have a chance at the business that is legitimately their due,
 The policies of the Fisheries Bureau have slowly but surely 2hoked, stifled and starved the business man and effectually prevented the development of his territory. Never in history have men risen to better things except as a reaction to oppres- ion. Alaskans are beginning to see light.

 The dove of peace has deS- cended on w. L. Paul, First Divi- sion c. o. P. leader who has come out with the slogan: "Vote the Party Ticket Straight"
 In reporting these little incl dents of political nature, the Empire stated discussions were held at Juneau early this month. Participating in the political clinic were:
 James Wickersham, nominee tor delegate to Congress: Cash Cole, nominee for Auditor; w. G. Smith, nominee for Treasurer c. T. Gardner, Walter P. Scott, Grover c. Vim and w. L. Paul, all legislative candidates.

FOR ALL WHO BENEFIT

On another column of this iS- sue we reprint stories from the Ketchikan Chronicle with direct reference to prosperity of Ket- chikan business houses a result of the better earnings of the re- Sident fishermen.
 Throughout all of Alaska, ma chine shop men, merchants and other business men are realizing as never before that when the fisherman makes a dollar, the benefit is not to him and his family alone. That is an Alaskan dollar that stays in Alaska and the machinist, the merchant, the banker, the painter, the carpenter and even the printer

SOME REAL BUSINESS
Boat Work is Under Way in
 Local Machine Shops

Machine shops in Ketchikan report that they are keeping busy with boat and other work. Eotzl the Northern Machine Works and the Enterprise Ma chine Works executives declare that fall work was never more brisk
 Usually following the closing of the season for commercial salmon, business falls off and a slack season begins.
 However, this fall is proving the exception This is said to be accounted for, in one respect, hv the fact that trollers and sciners made money this year and are using some of the pro- fits to get their boats fixed up.
 The Enterprise reports the sale of several new engines, and more work. re-boring. engines than for several seasons past at this time Of the year
 When times are dull" re- marked one of the officials. fisherman get along With their engines as long as they will run, as they cannot afford e-boring or new engines. The average t1shermen's first consideration is his boat when he has money to make improvements. And the fishing fleet out of Ketchikan is right up-tO-date on every mod ern device which will assist the fisherman in his business"
 Much Money Being Spent By
 Natives
 Heavy orders being placed with
 local stores from fishing
 money
 With airplane rides, brilliant weddings where no expense is spared, and parties and dances, prosperity on the part of the na- tive population from the fish ing industry this summer is clearly reflected.
 An observer at the Dock street (Ketchikan) float this week ob- served two native boats tied up there. In less than an hour, he says, three local stores delivery machines drove UT and unloaded a miscellaneous assortment of beds, windows, groceries and other "plunder" which must have run into the hundreds of dollars.
 This, he said, is but one incl dent of the same process which is being repeated almost every day-Ketchikan Chronicle.

RAILROAD INVESTIGATION

Dispatches from Seward dated September 9th state that the special Senate Committee ap- pointed early in July pursuant to 2 resolution sponsored by Senat- or Howell of Nebraska, with ex- traordinary powers to inveSti- gate the operation, economic situation and prospects of the Alaska railroad, and to make re- commendations designed to put that project on a paying f1nan- cial basis, has completed it's in vestigations in the Territory and boarded the destroyers, Was muth and Perry, for Seattle.
 The committee is composed of Senators Howell of Nebraska, Thomas of Idaho, and Kendrick of Wyoming, all westerners and from states which were them selves territories within com paratively recent times.
 The two weeks which the com nittee has spent in the railroad belt hove been consumed in hearings at Seward, Anchorage, Fair5: nks and other points ev- en as far inland as Candle to determine the extent of the na- tural resources and the possib- ilities of development.

WHAT CONSTANT HAMMER
 ING WILL DO

Bureaus of the departments of interior, agriculture and commerce in Alaska, in the fu- ture will use Alaska products, particularly lumber and other timber products, wherever they are available and suitable. This is policy just promulgated by the Alaska commission of the departments named, and each commissioner has advised the agencies concerned of it's adop- tion.
 The commission composed of Governor Parks. Interior De- |rartment, Regional Forester, c. HI. Flory, Department of Agri- culture; and United States Fish cries Agent Dennis Vim, De- partment of Commerce, has pre- pared instructions for several bureaus to follow
 Tn part these said: ..
 Hereafter in preparing speci- f1cations for structures to be built and in drafting bills of ma terial to be purchased, consider atiOn should be given to the available and suitability of material produced in Alaska for the intended use. Wherever it Is found that an Alaska product will be satisfactory for a pro posed item, the specifications should be so drawn as to permit of it's use and the dealers in the Alaska material should be given an opportunity to bid in com petition with dealers in Douglas fir and other wood from the states, as in the great majority of cases such outside products are also suitable for the purpose. Where there is ample opportuni- ty to obtain competition among dealers in Alaska products the federal agency making the pur- chase shall decide whether or not it might be to the advan- tage of the government to send proposal blanks to dealers in outside products as well.
 When proposals for supply ing material permit of the alter native of furnishing either Alas ka or outside products, the list of dealers to whom proposal blanks are sent should in the territory who handle such out side timber products, and who may be able to bid on the order.

tions may be, is at this time a matter for conjecture.
 The Alaska Railroad extend ing from Seward to Fairbanks a
 distance of 543 miles, was built
 oy the United States Govern 'nent at an original cost of fifty six million dollars, and although
 it taps a region of limitleSs re- sources in agricultural and min eral wealth, including millions of tons of coal of good quality,
 the road has operated contin-
 uously in the red, the operation balance sheet showing a cumu- lative deficit of several million dollars, though the annual defii- cit has been less in recent years
 than formerly.
 The project $ one of the greatest experiments in public
 ownership and the act of Con-
 gres providing fer the building of the railway carried a provi- sion which makes it possible at
 any time such action shall be
 deemed advisable to turn the project over to private interests. No effort has been spared to dis
 credit the road discredit Alaska
 and discredit the whole idea of government ownership of public
 utilities, this attitude on the part of certain private interests constituting perhaps the great est obstruction in the way of

IN MEMoRIAM

Mr.. Arthur J. Cain departed this life
August IS, 1880. aged so years.
The great monster death in his grave
image has torn from my bosom my
dearly beloved father; leaving behind a
bleeding heart rent with grief.
His cheerful disposition wreathed
with golden sunshine, has been sup
planted by the sable curtains of heart
rending gloom.
No more shall meet him in this land
of trials and tribulations; yet l find
consolation in knowing he was a fol-
lower of Christ. He was a good man
and as a reward has taken the wings
of an angel and scared to realms
above, where pain, care or sorrow and
earthly trials are forever unknown;
where anguish can never overtake him,
where peace and virtue will never for
sake, where the spirit will bloom and
bear fruit in the Vinyard on high.
His daily walks of life have been a
beacon light, which illumnates the
path to the celestial paradise of the
home of the King of Kings, and the
house of the Lord of Lords. Where the
golden harps are ringing in the house
of many mansions; where the angels
are singing the welcome harvest home
on the throne of God; where the spirit
of the righteous is rewarded with a
golden crown, and where peace and
joy will remain supreme for evermOre.
A spot is vacant in my heart which
can never heal
Oh dear Father:
The dear one I loved so well has been
taken from me with Jesus Christ to
dwell, but the love for him who sleeps
beneath shall never fade away,
Signed: His daughter, Margaret and
wife Virginia.
