I'VE HOLD THESE TRUTHS

A man was arrested in Seattle
 and given 90 days for the theft
 of fifty cents. Another man stole
 an automobile worth several hun
 tired dollars and he was given a
 suspended sentence.
 A Indian goes up the street in-
 ebriated by poisons which he
 buys and drinks He is prompt ly arrested and is given from
 ten days to six months.

 An Indian girl goes on a bend with some white men. SlIc is picked up and sent to jail for Ter own good; a white girl goes along the road, gets drunk and is sent home-for her own good
 When a man steals a million dollars he becomes a martyr for his crime or he buys his .:n- nocence.' The poor devil who pil- fers four bits to get himself a square," goes on the rockpile for ninety days.

Senator c. c. Dill of Washing ton has announced himself as being in complete accord with the plan of Democratic leaders of his state favoring an early convention and instructing the state delegation, bound by unit rule, to vote for Franklin D. Roosevelt.
 Dill's stand coupled with that of State Chairman George g. Star and National Committee man Scott BulIitt, means that the state of Washington will lead the Democrat parade for Roose welt in the Pacific Coast slope states.

AS SEEN BY J. R. JUSTICE IN
 THE SEATTLE STAR

Many have stayed awake nights wondering what we would do for building material few years hence. The timber being cut and quarries were being worked out. Someone has found that the hardest stone can be made from corncobs.
 The corncobs will also take the place of hard rubber and that leaves another worry be- hind. But there is still some thing left to turn hair gray. In tune, the price of corncob pipes will be out of sight.

 you are a pitiful hanger-on to the bedrabbled skirts of a pseu-
 do-respectability, echoing par
 rot-like ideas of the plutocrat. and condemning the honest
 workman who cannot conceal his poverty. It is by the aid of such as you that the plutocracy retains it's power to despoil the people. It makes of you cats paw to rake the chestnuts out Of the coals, and despises you, as a matter of course. When tha working people are able to fair
 ly live, they are conservative. patriotic and constitute the strength of the state, but when, toll as you may, save as you can, while the wealth created by their labor goes to the enrich ment of others, they become dis satisfied and dangerous. If the ruling class divide and subdue them, they degenerate into spir- itlesS lazzaroni; but if the peo- pie triumph in the struggle, then woe to those who have reaped where they have not sown and gathered where they have not streWn. ."-Brann The Iconoclast.

insofar as tangible results are concerned. Official report of the Canadian Fisheries Bureau recommended discrimination of their hatcheries because honest investigation disclosed the fact that they were an economic waste. If the Federal Bureau of Fisheries wants to waste it's appropriations on hatcheries, that is its business; if it is Ter ritorial appropriations Ketchi- kan wants, they should ask fer something that is not a waste Of good money.

A letter to the local school board from Commissioner ol Education w. K. Keller, reads as follows:
 T am returning herewith your triplicate copy of budget of pro- posed expenditures for the school year 1931-32. I have ap- proved the same to the amount Of s29,1OO.
 Under a ruling of the Terri - torial Board of Education adopt cd May 4, we will not be able to refund on the following items:
 Text books, library books, gen. eral school room equipment; equipment for laboratories, man ual training and domestic sci ence, gymnasium and play ground equipment; freight, eX- press and parcel post insofar as this applies to books and new equipment; rent of basketball hall.
 We will be unable to refund on this last item due to the pro- vision that schools within incor- pOrated cities and school dis tricts must furnish their own plants"

HE TELLS NO MISTAKES WHO
 SAYS NOTHING

Coolin Calvidge says: Presi- cent Hoover in his Indianapolis speech, declared that the tariff las saved this country from dis. aster.
 This will be good news to the 5,0O0,O00 men out of work, who foolishly considered that their little troubles constituted a major disaster.
 It will also cause rejoicing among the thousands of small business men, who will be glad to learn that, although they have been forced into bankrupt cy, the tariff has saved them from any real financial calam- ity.
 I am sure we should all be very grateful to this wonderful tariff which has protected Us against unemployment, busi-- less depression, economic col lapse and high taxes.
 Prosperity is here to stay.

ly personal and assume the posi- jtlon that he is solely responsible for the policy instead of placing the blame upon the Territorial
 Board of Education which, sec ing the condition of the Terri torial Treasury and being inn portuned by the Governor to curtail every item of expense
 possible, have done so.
 The real blame for this situa- tion goes right back to the con- trolling faction in the last legis- lature which passed the appro- priations bill without passing the revenue bill. Rather than be damned by the vested inter ests for passing a revenue bill in every way equitable to all the interests, they hemmed and hawed around until they got the Governors approval on the ap- bill then return ed to their several homes and t,;ed to point to the fine records they had made.
 Their appropriations exceed ed two million dollars for the bi- i annium which far exceeds the 1 revenue. Unless ex- penditures are curtailed, there will not even be enough to take care of prior governmental &C.,. ;ivies.

HATCHERY BUNK

Former Senator J. R. Heck man recently went into rhapso- dies over the fact that a few sockeye salmon were spawning in the shadow of the hatchery in Ketchikan Creek. He places the minor results to the fact that several years ago a hatch cry was in operation there and the salmon now spawning there is the direct result of the labors and money expended by the Ter ritory.
 But "J. R." or Bob" to his many friends, has a short mem ory. While he was before the Fisheries Committee in the le- gislature, he declared point blank that he would not give as business proposition, eleven dollars for all the hatcheries in Alaska. He was talking then as business man. Perhaps he goes into rhapsodical ecstacies over the So-called results, be- cause the people of Ketchikan want further appropriations to operate their hatchery.
 Not one hatchery in Alaska orl Canada has proven satisfactoryI

POLITICAL PROGNOSTICATIN

turally, the farmers of the North west are blaming the admins tratiOn for conditions. Natural ly, the President has lost pOpu- iarity. There was gigantic protest vote last year, when more new senators and repre- sentatives were elected than ev- CT before, and it will be even larger next year, because cOndi- tions undeniably are worse"
 Asked the direct question whether "any Republican can carry the West next year.? the Senator replied
 Out in the Middle West and Northwest, the nomination of a real progressive would make 8 difference in the result next year."
 He expressed the opinion that Governor Pinchot of Pennsyl- vania would be a popular candi- date.
 Senator Brookhart who also travelled extensively through the West since adjournment of Congress, visiting Michigan, H. linois, Iowa, the Dakotas and other states, found many indica- tions of impending revolt.
 Declared Senator Brookhart.
 "In my opinion, any progress i've Republican can carry. the West next year, but no other kind can."

George R. Holmes, politica writer for the Times of Seattle declares that "a political revolt Of far-reaching proportions is fomenting out where the West begins, and if the Republican Party proceeds with the renomi- nation of President Hoover nexi year, it is going to find the go- ing extremely rough.
 This warning prediction was sounded in Washington today by two Republican PrOgressives ot the Senate-Senator Frazier Ci North Dakota and Senator BrOokhart of IoWa-Who have just returned to the capital from several months of contracting with home folks"
 With millions of unemployed facing the Spector of a hard win ter, with wheat selling at 90 cents a bushel and other farm commodities at the lowest ebb in many years, the times, they asserted, call for new leadership. And the party that supplies that is going to be successful between the Alleghenies and the Rockies in the next campaign.
 ''There is certainly going to be an ample vote of protest against tie Republican Party next year if conditions continue as they are," said Senator Frazier. "Na-
