POLITICS
 AT RANDOM
By BYRON PRICE (Chief of Bureau, The Associated Press, Washington

Campaign fund collectors are getting the cold shoulder so regu- larly these days that Senate in- vestigators are likely to find over size war chests few and far be- tween in '32. The Presidential boosters of Gov. William H. Mur- ray of Oklahoma are conducting a postcard campaign for recruits.
 Although they incline to Hoover, Connecticut Republicans expect to send their delegation to the con- vention unpledged. .. A good many drys are discussing among themselves whether it would be worth while to launch boom for William G. MacAdoo, and opinion remains divided.
 The folks back home in Texas have started a Garner-for- -PreSi- dent movement, but Speaker Jack knows his politics and won't take it seriously. The name of Owen D. Young, on so many tongues year ago, seldom is heard nowadays when the talk turns to presidential possibilities.
 Klan In Comeback Role
 Ku Klux Klansmen in Alabama are organizing for a political come back, but so far the results escape tho Yr,iprocpnpo Tho napn- crats of Massachusetts, the only big northern state to be bagged by Smith in '28 are disagreeing vocal ly on local issues and what to do in '32.
 Frank Hague, mentor of the New Jersey Democrats, has been hs,en- ing to overtures from the followers of Governor Ritchie, but has made no public commitment |. Minnesota Farmer Labor party leaders are making no plans to bring out a Presidential ticket and are split just now between Hoover and Roosevelt.
 Plenty Of Candidates
 In Missouri, one of the states failing to pass reapportionment law, around 100 candidates are pre- pairing to run at large for 13 seats in Congress. The inside in- formation just now points definitely to Walter Brown of Ohio, the Postmaster General, as chairman of the Republican National com mittee after the conventions.
 Republicans of the first New Hampshire, where a Congressman is to be elected January 5, have made Hoover the issue by pledging their candidate categorically to support the administration. .. . Nebraska Democrats probably will vote for Gov. Brother Charley Bryan for President and work for him for Vice President.

INFORMATION SOUGHT
 ABOUT MISSING MEN

InQuiries have been received at the Governors office concerning the following persons supposed to be in Alaska:
 Robert Morhamer-Middle e-aged; /; has been resident of Cordova for the past fifteen years, but dur ing this time he has travelled up and down the coast of Alaska a great deal The last news of him was that he intended going to Fairbanks to work in a placer mine about 85 miles out of Fairbanks It is believed th>t Morhamer has property in Juneau
 James M. Larson-Was born in New York in 1876. His father had been either longshoreman in and around San Francisco, or a fore man employed by some fishing con- ern in Alaskan waters. It is be- lieved that one Hartman, a step brother of James M Larson, has been employed in the fishing can neries of Alaska for many years.
 Charles Carlson Formerly a resident of Munising, Michigan. He has a finger missing on both hands; is about 60 years of age; is short or average height. May be around Hunter Creek, Alaska.
 Any one having any information about the above persons are asked to please communicate with the Governor office.

Northern Fare.
Seattle Times.)
An nuts!

Seasoned AlaSkanS offer reaSSuring word to Mrs. Edward M. Riddle of Philadelphia, who par took on dainty meal at the Olympic Hotel in the belief that on her trip through the Northern Ter ritory she would find luxures, Whatever fare she finds convenient to take sledge journeys she may rest assured of many comfortable days on board the steamship Admiral Evans in the Alaska towns and on the Government Railroad. The hard regimen of primitive travel by means begins when the steamship leaves Seattles waterfront The chances many that Mrs. Riddle will be having her morning grapefruit her luncheon salads and her paties until she leaves Alaskas comfortable hotels for the trails.
 Mrs. Riddle will discover what many Fasteners fail to understand until they have visited Alaska, that the climate has considerable diversity The coastal region, warmed by the Japanese Current has no violent fluctuations in weather. The ther- mometer seldom falls below in midWinter while the summers are mild and comfortable. The interior compares favoraby, clmatically with that of the North Central States. It is true that low tem- peratures recorded, and even the most enthus- iastic AlaSkanS do not describe it as banana belt; but it has it's compenSations. The iridescent days and opaleScent nights have attractions not found in the snowy praries of North Dakota or the pine woods of Minnesota and Wisconsin. It is likely that when Mrs. Riddle sets out on her trail journey she will find that the juicy veni son, the moose roasts and the reindeer steaks which creamed chicken and the oyster paties of the softer climes. Gastronomic luxury is largely matter of environment One imagines that the Philadelphia woman upon her return, will describe the Northern fare as the most appetizing in the world The
 ancients had a saying that hunger, which has it's foundation in vigorous heath is the best sauce

BEGIN WORK ON LOS ANGELES GREAT WATER SYSTEM.

Preliminary activities now are under way incl- dental to beginning work on the gigantic aqueduct from Boulder Canyon Dam on the Colorado River to Southern California, for which a $220,OO0,00o bond issue has just been voted Engineers are building roads, making surveys, etc, and they expect to start actual construction on the project within six months.
 The acqueduct will entail cost approximately half that of the Panama Canal. It will supplement Los Angees' present water supply which is now brought from the Owens River Valley 230 miles away, through aqueduct completed in 1913 at cost of $25 600.
 One of the greatest engineering featS of the kind undertaken in this country, the project will require from eight to ten years for completion Built of steel and concrete deserts and be- meath mountains, the huge waterway is to be sev- enteen feet in diameter along it's entire length of 252 miles It will deliver billion gallons of water daily.

NO TIME TO INCREASE TAXES.

Taxing money out of the channels of trade and industry and spending it for the purpose of re- ducing unemployment is long way around to the desired objective according to the opinion of officers of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. President Strawn believes that in the long run money paid in taxes will make employment and permanent jobs if it is left in private empoyment where it is.
 Most industries and business houses can use all the money they have Their money is already employed and giving employment to workingmen Many taxpayers have to slow down increase their loans and interest payments in order to get money with which to meet demands of tax col lectors. Taxes burdensome in times of depression than when prosperity rules the roost
 Only the greatest public necessity will justify increasing National, State municipal taxation at the present time. Wherever possible taxes ought to be reduced

had far different results with better fortune and in more prosperous times These great vessels were not fantastic or impossible in design. They needed modification, but
 their behavior in the air showed that they formed at least basic model from which successful ter-than-air craft might have been developed. It may be recalled that the huge structure of the R 100 now about to be broken into scarp, flew to Canada and back last year without serious misadventure and set up a record of 811A miles an hour. That looked like the open ing of a great chapter in quick trans Atlantic navigation. But it closed pre- maturey and may not be soon reopened

Alaska Railroad vs. Manila Railroad.
Seward GateWav)


 Revealing clearly how various branches of the Federal Government operate in conflict to the detriment of Alaska the Seattle Times recently published the following under the heading Twenty Ships to Transport Coal to Philippines: Huge Pac- fic Coast Order Placed by Government. Bids Are Submitted by Several Seattle Firms"
 Shipping on the Pacific will be stimu-
 lated by the delivery in Manila of 80000
 tons of bituminous coal, which the Govern
 ment is soon to purchase in this country
 Bids for furnishing the coal and trans
 porting it to the Philippines were submitted
 to representatives of the Government in
 New York by firms in Seattle San Fran
 cisco and other cities. The coal is for use
 by the Manila Railroad. It was estimated
 that nearly 20 ships would be required to
 transport the coal. The order one of the
 largest ever to have been placed for the
 Philippines by the Government, is expected
 to aid in taking up the slack in ship
 tonnage.
 mus It may be seen, when an opportunity presents itself to increase tonnage and revenue of the Gov ernments railroad in Alaska our great officials deliberately overlook that phase. Out of one side o1 uncle SamuelS face he voices loudly his sincere desire to help us poor Alaskans develop our re- sources but out of the other side of his big mouth IS emitted the well known raspberry" Aaskans are daily served
 It could not be expected that Alaska coal op- orators could have had the privilege of bidding on the entire order but they could have at least been granted the opportunity to have made a bid for a portion of the tonnage; say about 25 GOO tons Coal bunkers could be built within brief period, if necessary,
 Incidentally the Alaska Railroad revenue from this size contract, 25000 tons, from the mines to the Port of Seward, would have been at least $37,500. Yet in the face of these facts similar cases have arisen inumerable times in the past alleged statesmen rack their thick skulls endeavor- ing to discover methods to bring the Alaska Rail- road out of the red.

BRITAIN ABANDONs THE DIRIGIBLE

Great Britain has abandoned for the present at least the attempt to develop the drigible airship It has sold it's famous 100 and it will be used as scrap metal None will take it's place. The Manchester Guardian, commenting upon the matter, says:
 The Government has sold the arship 100 as scrap metal. Thus for a time at any rate ends the unhappy story of this country's experiments with airships-a story stamped on the memory of generations by the cal/mitous end of the R 10l. This at- tempt to develop the airship into prac ticable means of navigation might have
