 Ward-and that they will en- Geavor to handle all local grown vegetables, head lettuce, beets, caulifiower, carrots, cabbages spinach, cucumbers, turnips etc, the Brown & Hawkins Corpora tion is setting an example which should be followed by every gen. eral merchant in Alaska and especially in the railroad zone.
 In support of this effort to keep dollars at home and at the same time encourage self-reli- ance in the Territory, every citi- zen should make a solemn re-
 solve to demand local products wherever possible of supply

couraged His hungry disciples to take wheat from another mans field.
 The New Outlook may be right in it's contention. However, it is difficult to follow the doctrine that the world owes every man a living. The world owes no man any more than he puts into 1t. whether it be labor or capital, he receives interest only on his investment. The world does owe it to man to permit the free exercise of his labor at a fair return. If he is willing to sell his labor he should not be hind cred by the selfish interests which demand only large divi- dends at the expense of labor. As soon as the world recognizes the right to sell labor and permits the free exercise of it, that soon will the economic situation right itself.

Protecting Homes

Recently Mayor Hague of Jersey City served notice that while the present economic de- pression exists, no homes in that city will be sold for taxes, and no municipal employee will be dismissed or reduced in salary.
 Said Mayor Hague: Jersey City will not take the homes away from it's people. If the American people can declare a moratorium on money owed us by Europe, we can afford to de- fer the sale of property for de- linquent taxes owed the city oy our neighbors who have not the means to pay. And this is nc time to dismiss public em- ployees or reduce their salaries.

In the past elections the mis- ruling political, faction has con- demned the Indians for partici- pating in elections. Condemning them as unfit on account of illiteracy. Every effort has been made to break the solidarity of their forces. Their leaders have been called demagogues and declared to have enriched them selves at the expense of the or ganization. There has been a steady and persistent effort to discredit the leadership through distrust. In some sections they have succeeded in a. small mea- sure.
 In the past. election these Indians voted the Democratic ticket in the West Coast of Prince of Wales Island and Ketchikan and in some of the larger precincts. The Juneau leaders of the opposition which condemned. these illiterate votes were glad to receive them and they have not condemned their into the Democratic ranks.

The Ideal Citizen

An ideal citizen is the one who sees clearly and ever something good in the city and never loses the opportunity to spread that good news abroad that others might derive the benefits there fl om, whose unselfishness prompts him to want others to share opportunities, health and pleasure which his home city offers.
 Loyalty is the first requisite for the ideal citizen. The love for the place and his neighbors which dismisses the thought of self interest or policy and re- solves itself into the knowledge of duty when he does all in hi: power to make the city a bette: place in which to live.
 There are three distinct at titudes which a citizen may as Sume toward the place in which he lives, which furnishes hin
 food, shelter and association fol
 himself and family, to boost, tt
 remain quiet or to knock. The
 booster is that ideal citizen wht
 lis never forgetful when an,
 movement is launched whicl
 might tend to the advancement
 of the interest of the city. Whil'
 ethers see darkly, to him goo;

citizen is satisfied to let the neighbor do the work and con tent to lull the city asleep and let it rest. The. knocker is the man who is without a country. There is no room for him any where, his presence dampens the enthusiasm of every man or group of men who unfortunate ly come in contact with hirr. Having no faith in his own ability to go forward, he na- turally lacks faith in his homo city to do so.
 You have the chance to belong to either of the three classes. If you are a booster, your neighbor knows it and will boost you. If lyou are aligned with the quiet class, you will not be regarded one way or the other, for the man who, selects to steer the middle of the stream, gets nc support from either side. If, un-

Repeal As We'll As Enact

There are a number of ordin- ances on the City's books that should be brought up before the Council for consideration and then wiped off the books. There is no sense in passing laws and ordinances and then forgetting them. Legislatures are prone to pass laws and then forget to wipe off those that nave become obsolete and the same is true of cities. In one state it is a crime to sneeze on Sunday; in another a woman may not walk a tight rope except in a church on Sunday; in one state sheets on hotelroom beds must be nine feet in length by six in width. The laws are not observed but they are allowed to remain on the books cluttering them up.
 Several years ago an ordin- ance was passed making it a nisdemeanor for any one to ex- pectorate on the streets. It did not stop the splitting on the streets nor was anyone arrested for violation of the ordinance

cure loans for their operations The consuming public can ab- sorb only so much fish at high CT prices. The greater mass o1 consumers are unable to pu-- chase halibut or salmon at 25- 30 and up to 50 cents pound They can purchase meats at cents a pound and naturally they turn to the lower priced commodities.
 The. outlook for the resident fisherman this year is certainly nothing to be optimistic over It is no better for the halibut fisherman or the seiner.
 Already the fishermen arg talking of living on the beaches putting up small gardens, fish, clans and meats. Following the law of self preservation they will have to follow such a pro- gram.

Smoked and salted fish, canned salmon and various jams, especially strawberry and currant, are imported from California when the berries may be grown in abundance in the railroad zone. Local canners are preparing clans which likewise are sent to Seattle and returned TO Alaska for sale.
 Approximately $850,00O worth of products are shipped to the railroad zone which could be produced within it. This $850,- 900 would give each person in the area a fairly yearly income of $1,00O.

Inconsistent Politicians

J. Peratrovich stepped forward and accepted the support of the
 Democrats. They had promised support to him, if not directly IStill sufficiently to warrant en- trance in their ranks as a lcandidate.
 The election showed their insincerity. George Grigsby de- clared "All factions of the De- niccrats are united in support irg this man." The support oe the Empire was said to have been thrown that way. Still Peratroyich was thrown off the ticket and J. w. Kehoe elected Some 500 Indian votes went in support of Peratrovich all of which did not go to Kehoe. Tn other words if the 500 votes did not swing that way Peratrovich would have stood only 900 to Kehoe's 1400 votes.
 This fact is pointed out to the people of the West Coast that they might think upon the vagaries of the Democratic leaders Of Juneau who make promises they have no intention Of keeping.

There is a spirit of pessimism running though Alaska. Every where one turns the question is asked What are we going to do to earn money this summer and what will we do next winter?" The question is being asked by laboring men, by fishermen, by businessmen. All are beginning to realize that they are in the same boat.
 Why worry now about the fu- ture? The time to have met the situation was during the past ten years when the situation could have been so met that the people of Alaska would not now be wondering what they will do to get sufficient to purchase food and clothing.
 For a number of years this publication has urged the abol- ishment of fish traps and the employment of fishermen in stead. While every person we have talked with agrees that we are correct in our demand, only a very few have the courage to stand up and say that our con- tentiOn is correct.

The gillnetters of Columbia River have abandoned all plans for a strike for better prices They made every effort to ob- tain g cents per pound for king salmon and they have agreed te sell their catches to the can ners on the open market. Ir other words they will sell to the canners who finance their sum- raer's operations.
 While no prices were quoted it is believed that the best grades of salmon will bring cents per pound.
 King salmon may be purchas- ed in the butcher shops today at 10 cents per pound. What the prices on the trolling grounds will be has not been announced However those who follow the commercial end of the business believe that large reds vii. bring not more than 5 cents A pound and whites, 1 cent a pound if and when they are bought. But it will go lower!
 With the price of meat, eggs and chicken at a low maximum it is futile to attempt to, hold, the price to inflated values. To attempt to force up prices by a concerted strike would be a wasted effort.

operators to employ local labor are the ones who will suffer most ultimately. The resident population has been drawing up on it's belts until the naval battle is on with the backbone. The business men are just now coming to the same point of starvation. Their investment is now being jeopardized and their loss in the end will be greater than the f1shermen's.
 If the territory would get back on a sound economic basis in the shortest possible time, it should abolish the fish traps and em- ploy only fishermen to put up the salmon packs. Canada with a salmon pack equal to only one third of the Alaska pack still employs 5000 fishermen or more than three times the number employed in Alaska. According to which figures, Alaska should employ 27,000 fishermen. The earnings of these fishermen dis tributed among all the fishing towns of Alaska would put money into circulation which would wipe out the stagnant condition and the long faces of depressed spirits would be turn ed into happy smiles.

MEXICO CITY, May 14.-Rafael
Iturriga, former secretary of the in
terror and navy in Cube, testified on
a witness stand here last night that
President Gerardo Machado of Cuba
sent gunmen to Mexico to slay Julio
Antonia Mella in 1929.
The testimony caused a sensation
in the Second District Court where
Jose Lopez Valinas is on trial for the
Staying.
Iturriaga, who once served in Presi-
dent Machado's cabinet, said he had
definite knowledge that Machado
ordered Mella's murder because Mella
a Communistic university student ex-
lied from Cuba, had taken up his resi-
dence in Mexico and was writing criti-
cism against Machado for the Cuban
press.
Mella was shot down from behind in
was Cuban political angle to the
murder, but it was not until Valinas
wife became angry with him last Fall
and denounced him as the actual
slayer that the police made any real
headway in the investigation.
Iturriaga said Machado, at one cabi-
net meeting, became so enraged at an
article in which Mella called Machado
"a donkey with claws" thai he dis
missed his cabinet after saying: Il
will silence that tongue even though
he go to Russia"
