The Real Reason for
Scrapping the Bill

The Herald Tribune gives us
the real explanation for this
playing politics with human
misery, when it says:
Zone obvious motive for scrap
ping the governors bill and
giving him less than he wants
in a measure bearing a Repub-
Iican label is the desire to deny
him the credit for the pro-
gram"
And it puts an issue of hui
manity, honor and self-respect
up to those of the partisan ma
jority who had Endorsed the
governors plan and have been
voted under the boss whip and

The petty partisans have run
amuck in Albany.
They are the same petty
partisans that have been max
ing a mess of the record of the
Republican party in New York
for 13 years.
Playing politics with human
misery, the petty partisan
leaders of, the majority in the
legislature have just reSorted
to the party caucus to bind
each and every Republican
legislator to a program of op-
position to the Roosevelt bills
on unemployment.
This majority would be a
minority but for the rotten
borough system of the State,
which makes it possible for the
minority to have the legislative
branch of the government, even
when the Democratic majority
reaches more than 100000. We
have no representative form Of
government IN New YORK.

Members Of Own Party
Are Against Leaders
But the leaders" in Albany,
who have whipped their party
followers into a policy of OBJ
struction against the Roosevelt
plan, do not represent the
more intelligent part of their
own party. So many of their
followers had a sense of de-
Cency and propriety that it was
necessary to resort to a party
caucus to bind these against
their judgment and their will.

of the greatly increased use of airplanes. The mail carriers and others were formerly among the chief purchasers of salmon as food for their deg teams, but this very much slower means of transportation has given way more and more to airplanes, which ill about two or three rours can cover a distance :e- quiring practically week by dog team.

Companies Charged
 For Impure Salmon

Criminal complaints, charging violations of the pure food and drug act in that they shipped "putrid and decomposed" salm- on from Alaska in 1880, were filed today in Federal Court by Cameron Sherwood, assistant United States attorney, against Henry J. Emard, operating as Fmard Packing Company, and lngolfer Iwessen, as the Iwessen Packing Company.
 The complaint charges that in the season of 1880, salmon pack cd and shipped by these com- panies were condemned; that the packers failed to appear at the hearings set by the Bureau of Pure FCod and Drugs to show cause why they should not be charged with criminal violation Of the Federal statutes.

PACK IS LARGER

An increase of 6 percent is rcted in the Alaskan salmon pac,z: thru Au~ust, as compared with tho same period last year, and the goi11 will be further augmented by fall fishing, &C., cor6;ng to Lewis Radcliffe, de- putty co l1missioner of the con- 1nerce departments bureau Of fisheries.
 A tc~+etive ectimate of the rack for the 1881 season to August 31 has been made by the burc" u'c Ce~+ tile office, in CO., operation with the Association of Pacific Ficheries. The total to that date was 5,335,4S1 cases, as against 4,G39,5c0 cases in 1930 to August 31 and 5,032,326 fer the entire season of 1880.
 It is of interest to note that the output of red salmon in 1881 is almost double that of the pre- ceding year and also shows q fair increase over the average for the five-year period.

CURTIS RUMORED AS GEAR
 OF OIL INDUSTRY SOON

Described by him as "pure nonsense," a new report that Vice President Curtis will retire soon to private life has been in~ jected into conjecture about his future plans.
 The Tulsa, Okla., World in- sists that the second ranking official of the government might resign to become czar of the American oil industry. In the face of his denial the newspaper persists in it's assertion that it's information is both 'direct and reliable"
 The Vice President will resign "before Christmas it said, if the American Petroleum Insti- tute approves the plan at it's an- nual meeting next month.
 To the above MT. Curtis has made emphatic denial.

Protest Yukon Fisheries
 Regulations


 the past week by the Delegate against the proposed regulation that would permit the taking of 50,000 king salmon in each sea- sen from waters outside the Yu- kon River Delta. As the Con- missioner of Fisheries has prac- tically decided to try out the experiment as proposed, the let, ter received from Alaska was re- ferred to Mr. O'Malley for an- swer, and among other things he wrote the protestant:
 "The objective in this matter is to give the comparatively few Eskimos who live in the Yukon Delta section some opportunity to add to their present very meagre sources of income. They are practically destitute and un- doubtedly would be helped by the contemplated commercial fishing activity. There has been some opposition to the pro- posed regulation but it seems to be based upon the misconcep- tion that salmon canneries will be established by outside inter ests in the Yukon River region. The only activity contemplated would be salting or mildcurirg operations which would be con- ducted by local residents of the lower Yukon region.
 "The Eskimo and Indian resi- dents of the Yukon region do rot favor king salmon as food for themselves or their dogs. They prefer the other species of salmon for this purpose. As 2 matter of fact, these natives make little effort to catch king salmon.
 Tt is of interest to note that the demand for dried salmon for dog feed during the winter months in various places along the Yukon has declined sharply in the last year or two heca11se

WINTER OLYMP|CS

Lake Placid and New York
State viii UnderWrite
Events of 1882.

II will cost half a million dollars to
provide. all the facilities needed for the
Winter sports of the Olympic games at
Lake Placid, in February, 1882.
Although the championship events
are more than year away there Is
great activity in the picturesque New
York town.
The sports events will be run over a
period of 10 days and 1t Is expected
5000 spectators will be on hand each
day, making a total of 10000 for the
entire program. An admission has not
been decided upon, but it would be
necessary to charge each spectator
around $40 a day to get back all the
money to be invested. But this is not
the plan. The money will be raised
regardless of the gate receipts. The
State and the resort town will share
the expense.
One stadium being erected will seat
1000 persons and provide standing
room for as many more. Stands on the
hillsides for the ski jumps and bob
sled races will seat 5000 persons.
It is estimated there will be 600 con-
testants and perhaps $50 officials. In
addition it is expected 5000 spectators
will be cared for in the resort hotels.
The championship program will get
under way February 4 with events
morning, afternoon and evening
Hockey games will be played each
evening
Many of the contestants will be on
hand from three to five weeks for pre-
Hminary training.
