MEMORIAL FOR NATIONAL PARK
 FOUNDER

Trbutei ranging from bronze tablet to a living forest and from a university fellowship fund to a new national park perpetuating his name are among the suggestions for memorial to the late Stephen T, Mather and recently submitted to the Mather Memorial Executive Committee at Wash ington Committees representing the AS States con- stitute the National Committee, evidence the nation wide interest in the movement The degree in which that interest is displayed is, in itself one of the finest possible tributes to MT. Mathers memory.
 Founder of the countrys great national park system, and for a period of 13 years head of the Governments National Park Service, MT Mather gave without stint of his ability his time and his own private funds to advance the cause that so dear to his heart. He inspired thousands with his own enthusiasm for the natural beauties of America, and played very large part in awaken ing in the people of the country deep interest in the great outdoors.
 The nations park system is a monument to him and his work But in the years to come, succeeding generations possibly will lose sight of his close connection with it's beginnings and successful ad ministraton during the first difficult years It is fitting and proper that form of memorial be dedicated to him so that it will ever keep alive the memory of his faithful service in pioneering the way in preserving many of the countrys greatest natural beauty spots from dissipation and waste.

GUARANTEE REMOVED FROM LABEL $
 OF FOOD PRODUCTS.

"Guaranteed under the food and drugs act June 30 1906" at time appeared on nearly all food products sold in the United States It no longer appears and housewives have asked Isn't the food and drugs act enforced any more?" Doesn't the Government protect us from adulterated and mis- branded foods now as it did years ago?"
 The answer is that the foods and drugs act is enforced more efficiently today than ever and the greatest protection possible under present condi- tions is being assured by the Food Drug and h. secticide Administration United States Department Of Agriculture.
 No longer is the statement, Guaranteed under the food and drugs act, June 30 1906" allowed on food products for the reason that many housewives believed the guarantee meant that Government in- spectors had examined every can or package con taining that legend and vouched for the purity of the food therein. Letters were received by the de- partrnent from persons who had found a soiled package of food bearing the guarantee Obviously it was impossible to examine all food sold The guarantee merely meant that the manufacturer guaranteed the product to be pure. The officials examined his shipments regularly, but could not pre- vent an occasional spoiled package from reaching the consumer and did not want the public to think that the Government was recommending or guaranteeing any food products sold.
 Feeling that the legend was deceptive, the regu- Iations for the enforcement of the food and drugs act were amended in 1914 to do away with the

The G. MN. r. Eierger.
(Railway and Marine News.)

The announcement late in February that the h.
 terstate Commerce Commission had approved the application of the Great Northern and Northern Pa cific to merge caused no great surprise For the commission in announcing it's own consolidation program in December had indicated its views of the alignment of railroads in the Pacific Northwest More details will have to be worked out before merger is possible The two Northern roads will have to divest themselves of the Burlington, all exceedingly profitable unit financially, and which affords them access into Chicago from St. Paul A Chicago entry declared to be absolate necessity and without it it be safely said there will be Inc merger. This entry might be obtained through contract for trackage rights by a lease of the Chicago-St Paul line of the Burlington In either case the I. c. C. would probably have to give their approval
 The new company is to be known asthe Great Northern Pacific Railway Company, would acquire the two transcontinental system by exchange of stock and also the S. P. & S. from Spokane to Portland. Running rights would have to be given The Milwaukee Road into Portland, concession agreed to by the Northern roads during the hear ings.
 According to one report the two Northern roads may not be able to dvest themselves of the Burl- ington ownership if the stockholders should agree to accept the I C. c. conditions The Burlng- ton stock is pledged together with all the resources of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, guarantee to the outstanding mortgages given by the
 lines. The trustee, under the mortgage must be satisfied, by the filing of other securities by tring part of the debt before the Burlington stock could be released. Even then dissatisfied bond holder might be able to court order that would prevent the unscrambling of the three lines and the reassembling of two of them.
 When the stockholders in the two Northern lines deposited their holdings with the special holding committee they signed power of attorney, which is declared to almost everything except the sale of the Burlington. Under it it is declared that the holding committee has no authority to proceed with merger that omits the Burlington and even tually it is believed the question of policy will have to be submitted to the stockholders Whether the packers of the merger would want to do this, is still another question

use of the guaranty on the package that house. wives would exercise all due caution in buying foods and not think that every package was Gov ernment inspected
 The purpose of the old guaranty legend had been to protect the dealer from liability to prosecution if he found selling foods or drugs which were in violation of the act. The goods could be seized, but the jobber manufacturer who guaranteed the product and not the dealer would be prose- cuted With the amending of the regulation the authorities still wanted to provide the dealer with immunity from prosecution, so the regulation was made that the dealer demand guaranty in writing from the manufacturer, wholesaler or job Der that the foods and drugs he buys are in com pliance with the law.

wRANGELL JOINS THE PROCESSION.

At last Wrangell is to have schoolhouse, One that will give to the younger generation of the community opportunities and facilities for study that were not possible in the old building which, long ago was condemned by school experts as unfit for educational plant On previous occasion, the voters of the town rejected the pro- posal to bond the town to provide funds for a new building. They felt that the citys finances were not in condition to permit taking the added burden this would entail.
 Since that time, two three years ago. the citys financial troubles have largely been solved Also, the conviction that Wrangell has been losing desirable residents owing to the lack of suitable school facilities and that it has not been giving proper consideration to all of its youth has been forced home large number of it's citizens The result that the vote this year was overwhem- ingly for the issuance of the bonds. The city can now go ahead and float the issue in any amount up to S5O.000 for new school building It has 30 years in which to redeem them Surely it will find no trouble in marketing the securities or redeeming them they fall due
 Wrangell thus joins the procession of Alaska towns that have recently provided new educational facilities. In this category Juneau Ketchikan, Petersburg, Anchorage. Cordova, Seward and Stka Each of them have school plants that compare faVoraby with those of any town in the States of like size and they may well be proud of them

This Generous Nation.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

The United States is the most generous nation on the face of the globe American phlantrophy is distinguished by reason of it's colossal volume which excites the wonder admiration and envy of the world
 In the year 1929 this philantrophy established records of giving by those who esteemed them selves to be in reality stewards of great wealth In this year, according to the national estimate of reliable statistcans the United States gave $2 000,000000 in bequests, increase over previous years of $1200O0,000.
 These than regal gifts went chiefly for religious educational and humanitarian purposes to churches, hospitals charities, institutions, orials foundations
 Religious bequests lead, with the second largest sum going to education and those for personal and organized charity, health foreign relief the fine arts, play and recreation and miscellaneous re- form organizations following in notable proportion.
 Among the most noticeable and appealing gifts of the year. significant to phianthrophy in its best interpretation, Senator James Couzens trust fund of $10O00000 to promote the health and welfare of children and the Maurice and Laura Fak $10000oO0 foundation for educational religious, charitable and philanthropic purposes
 These vast gifts, has been well said, appear to indicate tendency to provide for the present generation rather than for makings provision for perpetuty.
 It is such land, such people such ind- vduals with the of divinity in their souls that is raduced and maligned by those social revo- lutionaries who see in Russia, for example the workings of "a great ideal" and who constantly urge change of the principles of government and society which have brought America to the peak of prestige and power the country enjoys today.
 This is land of labor and business, but its great souls find time and opportunity to send the sun rays of happiness comfort, uplift education and gentle practical charity into the lives of mill lions

WOODCOCK SEEKS
ADDITIONAL FUNDS
Asks Budget Bureau for
100000 to Increase
Staff by 500.

W. W. Woodcock, director Of prohi-
bition, asked the Budget Bureau yes
terday for an increase in the funds for
the Prohibition Bureau from $4,000, 600
TO $ll 10000 to permit the addition OF
500 agents to his staff of LAS.
The increased appropriation, which
Congress would have to approve, would
boost the total cost of the dry enforce
ment agencies, including the Coast
Guard and Industrial Alcohol Bureau
above the $4,000, 600 limit now allowed.
The new agents, according to Mr..
Woodcock, would be placed at strategic
points over the country. He does not
plan, however, to appoint women agents.
There are no women in the enforcement
personnel now. he declared, and there
will be none as long as he Is the pro-
hibition director. Like his immediate
predecessors, Col. Woodcock is con-
WINGED that women are Of little value
and q source of trouble TO q force de-
signed primarily with big commercial
violators.
Aside from adding 500 agents 10 the
force, Director Woodeock plans TO use a
portion of the increased funds to i'm
prove the efficiency of his new prohibi-
ton school which requires a. instructors,
experienced In prohibition enforcement
work, and TO create q new force Of
special permit reviewers to check on the
Treasury Departments issuance Of alco-
hol permits.
Director Woodeock has just returned
to Washington from an inspection trip
through Ohio and Michigan. He re-
ported excellent cooperation" In that
territory between Federal and Stats en-
forcement agencies, and declared him
self well satisfied with conditions in
these states,
He emphasized, however, that he was
not certain Just how effective the pro-
hibition work was in this territory, since
he had confined his survey to the per-
sonnet and organization.
Col. Woodeock found on his desk a
report showing q slight decline in the
numbers of arrests in August. COM
pared with the July total, and q small
Increase in diminished cases. Arrests for
August totaled 5,7S9, compared with
July's total Of 6,54e. Convictions last
month by juries were IL. while fines
totaled $l43,45l, and sentences repre-
sented SIS, Ass days.
