Rsmshaw, IS years old, shot his wife
and then killed himself
Walter Stusic, IL, drank poison
when his wife was forced to work in
a stamping factory at starvation

go hungry.

to die Of hunger.
A news dispatch from Detroit tells
of Mrs. Ellen Rae whose baby died
because she could not feed it. The
Detroit Daily says, They had been
subsisting on city welfare funds for

workers face the same fate because
they are "subsisting on city welfare
funds"

S: C. "RefOrmatOry"
for Negro Boys Death
Trap: Prison Is Worse

COLUMBIA, S. c., April IT.
State Investigators report that the
state prison of South Carolina is
death trap. They say the Columbus,
Ohio, prison, in which hundreds of
conviets were burned to death last
year, was "fire-proof" in comparison
with the South Carolina institution.
The Negro boys reformatory, near
Columbia, especially, does not have
any means of saving lives if fire
should break out and everybody in
it would probably be ashes in few
minutes after a fire started.

BOTTLES SET ADR|FT ID CHECK MOVEMENTS
 OF PAC|F|C HAL|BUT

Hundreds of little red bottles, each containing a message in En- glish, Russian and Japanese, will be bobbing up and down in the Pacific sea lanes this summer.
 The bottles are being cast overheard by scientists who are now enroute ot the Port of Sew ard and Westward on the motor vessel Dorothy, on a research cruise sponsored by the Interna- tional Fisheries Commission. The bottles are of a special de- sign and will drift with the ocean currents, dragging small metal anchor at the end of a six-foot wire. The anchors will cause the bottles to drift with the currents beneath the surface of the water and not be carried with the wind. Each bottle contains a card requesting the finder to mail it to the International Fisheries Commission in Seattle, telling where the bottle was found and the date. These data will enable the commission to determine the drift of young halibut and hail. but eggs.
 A small reward will be paid for the return of each bottle. Be- tween 1,200 and 1,500 bottles will be cast overheard from the Dor othy during her cruise.
 1 The vessel carries four scien- tists, Richard Van Cleve, who will be in charge; Laurence Town send, Zell Parkhurst, and Olaf Erickson. Capt. o. Servoid is the master. Three months will be spent on the voyage.

Commercial Club Endorses Territorial
 Industrial Agent 10 Stabilize Conditions

At the Wednesday evening meeting of the Chamber of Com merce, letter was read from Senator Charles Benjamin ad-
 vising that he was willing to re- present Petersburg at the con- vention to be held in Juneau soon of delegates to the Com merce convention. It was point ed out that Petersburg had been invited to join such a club two wears ago but no one present seemed to know whether or not he organization had been com pleted. MT. Henry Roden, of Tu- neau, volunteered the infornla- tion that he had been dcleoate 70 the convention from Ju1.eau 'wo years ago at which time the organization was coInpieret; with bylaws, constitution adopt ed and officers elected. At the last session of the legislatrra |. bill had been passed authorizing appropriation of $5 900 to be cX- pended in the Territory undc: the Governors control but the man chosen to carry the work had lost interest and the whole affair died for want of leader ship. The last convention Of the American Legion had made eff fort to revive this all-Alaska organization but Juneau refused to do anything about it inas- much as the organization had been completed Ketchikan had refused to join the organi- zation fearing that any stand taken by the all-Alaska organi- ration against the Jones Marine Act would have them tied up and unable to fight any change in the law.
 MT. Roden believed it possible that such an organization could be perfected and he advocated effort along that line. He suggest ed a general secretary, independ- ent of any Club, to carry on the work therefore suggested that

Hesse Asks 1-cent
 Tax on Gasoline

Senator Luther Hess of Fair banks has introduced in the Senate a bill whereby all mer- chandise would require a tax o2 cne-half of one per cent. The same measure proposes that tax of one cent a gallon shall be paid on gasoline and feul oil.
 The author estimates that an additional revenue of $25O,OOO would accrue to the Territory of which from one hundred to one hundred fifty thousand would be derived from sale of gasoline. crude oil and it's products.
 While the author does not ex- pect the measure to pass, he in troduced it to create discussion" from which may arise some mea- sure of taxation to raise the re- venue which has been lost through the poor business policy and methods of the canning in dustry and through the impro- per conservation methods ap- piled by the Bureau of Fisheries
 While the vendors of gas and Gil products will be required tO pay the tax and to make report twice each year to the Treasurer, it is an economic fact that in the end it is the consumer who carries the burden of taxation it be from merchandise, oils or whatnot.
 The promise of relief from burdensome taxation, the pro mise of fair legislation, the pro mise of full territorial govern ment" is certainly being lost sight of by those who made such : promises on the Democratic ticket at the last general cleo. ton. The Democratic party is in control of the House and Senate and the measures, introduced so far by representatives of that party, have been aimed at the hurt of the territory.

the Legislature create a Terri
 torial officer, paid by the LegiS- lature, appointed by the Govern or, to keep in close touch with all Clubs as @ Territorial Indus trial Agent. "This man." thought Roden, must be a man of vision "a bit of a dreamer, who might even indulge in a pipe dream once in while. There is one thing that he could do right now: The fishing season is about to com mence. The natives of the Terri 'ory gre restless their oppor- tunities to earn a living are very small. We in Juneau sent a letter to the canneries asking them to employ local labor They promis- ed to do so but you will see that their promise does not mean a great deal. Such an industrial a. rent could say to Petersburg Club and all other Clubs, Give me a list of all available labor this summer and the employers of Labor would be at least mor- ally bound to keep their promis- eS to him.
 'So far as the natives are con- cerned, We do not always give them the credit they are entitled to. Every dollar they make they spend here that is more than any of the rest of us can say. Anything we can do or that the Territory can do to find employ ment for them, should be done This agent could go to the P. A. r. and say How many dc you need? Here pick your list, and the employment would be equit- ably distributed. We have no bread lines, but we have had something mighty close to 1t: Many 3 merchant has extended credit with little assurance o; being repaid.

 He touched on the imports of foodstuffs and other commodities from the states and declared that five million tons of food stuffs were shipped in which could we'll be produced in the Territory, He suggested that an industrial agent along the rail- road taking care of the distri- button of local products would do well. .'The thing needs to be systematized."
 He touched On the complaints against bureaus" and declared he did not see where they were doing us any damage. I find them good fellows who will take their coats off and do what they can to help along. And that is the kind of man to have for ar industrial agent"
 A general discussion followed after which the Club accepted MT. Roden's offer to take up in Juneau the matter of the legis- lature passing a bill which would authorize appointment .of an industrial agent and defray the cost of the office. II opposed the offer of Senator Benjamin to represent it before the All-Alaska Chamber of Com merce and did not favor such an organization.

True to
 Form as Expected

Representative Boyle, Juneau, Democrat is author of a bill which would wipe out complete ly the primary system of election and replace it with the old con- 7ention which if passed would leave all party matters entirely i'll the hands of the political or ganizations and restore the sys- tenn whereby a select few play ing both ends to the middle, would nominate and elect lead CTS for both parties in Alaska.
 Representative Boyle, along with others of his party, ran cn 9 platform of full measure of self-gOvernment" for the people of Alaska. Senator Shattuck's S school reorganization" bill and Representative Boyle's "conven-
 ion" system of selecting candi- dates for political office take rom the electorate their only of self protection and ;re not in any sense of the word, introduced with any idea of al- lowing the people any choice in the selection of public office holders.
