WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE

The Republican National Con- vention adopted a plank in it's platform which will "resubmit" the 18th Amendment to the Con- vention to the several states.
 The Democratic National Con- yention has adopted a plank which will give the several states a referendum" on the question.
 A good Republican asked a good Democrat the other day just what was the difference be- tween the two blanks and got only hearty snort for his reply. 1t will be many a moon yet be- fore you will get your morning "snort" or "eye-opener." If you wait for either party to get it for you.
 The solution to the problem of prohibition is to elect Al Capone president of the United States. Those who do not obey his man. dates, he killed off. Under his administration, we fear, there would be many a funeral.

THE UNBEATABLE MAN

Commenting on hard times, a subscriber makes this observa tion:
 "We are all up against it Financially at the preseny time; no sale for any kind of fish, but even we are far better off than the millions of unem- ployed in the States. We can live on the products of the country by violating the numerous (bu- reaucratic) laws and prohibition. If they put US in jail for it they'll have to feed us, so why worry about it?"
 Herein is contained a sermon; even though it is so raw the hair still clings to it and blood is dripping.
 That sort of a man might brew a little hootchinoo, snipe 9 moose in summer or net a salm- On in a creek, but he will not pilfer his neighbor's cache, nor steal his wife.
 Some of the 1oafers who hang around the towns might take a tip from this homespun sermon. = Seward Gateway.

Protests have been filed with officials of Chile by representa- tives of the United States and foreign governments against the order of conf1scating all foreign currency deposits in Chilean banks and providing for repay ment in pesos. Pesos are now valued on foreign exchanges at only six cents. With their own currency at such low value, the Chileans are finding a way to bring up the values without is- suing fiat money.

 Senate bill 35O2 that earlier ir the session caused consider able anxiety and discussion in Southeastern Alaska has not been favorably reported by com r1ittee and is not likely to even pass the Senate. The bill pro- hibits foreign vessels from trans porting passengers between ports or places in the United States or it's possessions, embraced within the coastwise laws, either direct ly or by way of a foreign port, or TOT any part of such tranSpOrta- tion nor on a continuous voyage terminating at the port of de- parture or at any other port in the United States. It was feared that the passage of this bill would interfere with the trans portation of tourists from Seattle or Vancouver to Alaskan ports, altho the intent of the bill was to effect Atlantic coast traffic. Another bill introduced in the Senate which has not been re- ported out, would license the fish traps operated within the Territorial waters of Alaska by the Secretary of Commerce. Each license would apply to but one trap and would be for a period of five years.

 The Delegate has been in formed that the Department of Agriculture is now giving serious thought to the preparation of regulations for the open season on migratory birds for 1882. It is expected that soon after July 1st |the Secretary will announce the IccnclusionS reached. Assurance is given that the desires of Alas ka on this subject are being care fully considered, with the pro- bability that two different peri eds will be fixed for the shooting Of birds, to conform with the diff ferent time of flight in Northern and Southern Alaska. Senator Walcott's Special Committee on the Conservation of Wild Life Resources has recommended to the Secretary of Agriculture and to the Biological Survey that the Open season be either AS or 60 days, between Oct. 1, and Janu- ary 15, bag limit 15; the exact date for each State to be deter mined by the Biological Survey after consultation with the game officials of each state. Last year but 30 days shooting was allowed.

TURKEYS CHEAP
. FOR HOLIDAY

CHICAGO, Nov. / GN.S),
Turkeys are in for a killing" on
Thanksgiving Day. Low prices,
a plentiful supply, and unusually
high quality spell doom for the
birds as the feast day ap.
proacheS.
While it is almost impossible
to say just what prices will pre-.
vail around Thanksgiving, little
doubt remains that turkeys will
be about z cents a pound cheaper
than a year ago, according to
Charles e. McNeill, business
manager of the Chicago Poultry
Board.
Choice dressed gobblers here
will retail around 80 cents a
pound compared with 81 cents
last year, McNeill said.
Chickens and other poultry
will suffer the same "hatchet"
fate as turkeys. Prices, from
present indications, will be 3 to
4 cents lower than a year ago.
Live turkeys were listed at II
cents a pound in the wholesale
markets, or 3 cents lower than
last season.
The supply Of turkeys was re-
ported 13 per cent larger than
October, 1881, and was said to be
the largest ever.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1 uNS0.
Signs of revival which have in.
variably pointed to the end Of
previous depressions were found
in october, the New York Fed
eral Reserve Bank stated today
in it's monthly bulletin.
The most important indication
that the current slump was be.
ginning to follow the general pat.
tern found in the end of other
depressions was the accumulation
Of excess reserves by New York
banks.
From July 27 to October 26,
excess reserves of Federal Re
serve member banks increased
$244,000, 900, the greater part Of
the gain taking place in New
York. In this connection, the
bank pointed out thatt this fol-
lowed the same course found in
previous depreSsions.

j: s. LOAN BANK
LACKS CAPITAL

Congressional action to revamp
the new home loan system was
forecast today as the result Of the
failure to obtain sufficient capital
in the banks from private sub
ScriptionS within the 80 days set
aside for that purpose.
Nine million dollars from pri-
vate sources, such as building and
loan associations, insurance COM
panieS and others was necessary
to meet the capitalization require
ments in addition to the $125, ,00O,-
900 that the Treasury may put up.
Out Of 1000 building and loan
associations of the United States,
Is per cent of which were ineligi-
BILE to subscribe under their State
laws, 1000 made stock subscrip-
tionS. Just how much was sub
Scribed has not been disclosed, but
it was somewhat less than $9,000,-
900.
No announcement was antici-
pated until the required stock is
obtained. The IL regional banks
were described as still in the proc
eSS Of organization.
While home loan board officials
had indicated the banks would
open for business and would be
ready to accept loan applications

ments are met.

taken during the administration
of President Hoover, 1,500 De
troit Democrats were told by
Claude G. Bowers, noted journal.
list and New York Democratic
leader.
He accused the President of
devoting his entire attention to
relief of business rather than
toward relief Of the masses. He
said:
"Mr. Hoover killed the Wag-
ner bill for public cOnStruc-
ton to put the unemployed to
work and the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation laviShed
money on big business until
public indignation forced it to
recognize that suffering women
and children likewise had a

He characterized the President
as a dangerous man" who
should not be trusted with lead

Move to BaIk Riots
Rejecting an avenue of peace
full petition, Harrington an
nounced plans for the demonstra-
ton yesterday, asserting he would
rather rely upon "maSs strength
to bludgeon his way into Parlia-
ment and lay his case before
tile House of Common.
The arrest Of Harrington was
believed a desperate effort by
authorities to forestall another
bloody riot, such as those which
occurred in Hyde Park last week
and in Trafalgar Square on Sun
day.
Within an hour after Hanning-
ton was taken into custody, 400
marcherS were reported heading
toward the police station in an
attempt to invade the place and
rescue their leader.
The report caused authorities
to post heavy forces of reserves
near the station.
Crowds of unemployed gathered
on various corners near the sta
ton house, subjecting police to
cat-calls and abuse. In the Acton
district, .jobless men pelted spe-
cial traffic policemen with eggs
and shot off firecrackerS around
their heads, shouting "blackleg."
Hannington's headquarters were
thrown into a state of excitement
and turmoil. Sidney Elias, chair
man of the organization, assumed
direction and attempted to re-
store order. He said:
"We'l carry on with tOnight's
demonstration despite COmrade

lows, continued today.
After the State filed a reply to
Mrs. Judd's appeal petition in the

Judd, young and pretty, killed her
'etwo best friends" Mrs. Leroi and
Hedvig Samuelson, in Phoenix,
and shipped their mutilated bodies
in trunks to Los Angeles. She
was tried and convicted on the
Leroi Charge.

ECONOMY PLAN
BEING FORMED

Under legislation enacted in
the closing weeks of the past
Congress session the Bureau of
the Budget is now proceeding
with the complicated task of
recommending to the President
various regroupings, eliminationS
and consultations in the govern
ment service.
It was indicated these recon-
mendationS will be ready for the
President and Congress at the
beginning of the next session, al
though Col. j. Clawson Roop,
budget director, declines to say
what bureaus and departments
are to be affected. He will pre-
pare executive orders necessary
to carry out the regrouping and
consultations to be made in the
interest of economy and more
efficiency.
The act of Congress gives
the President virtually blanket
authority to make all the
economy changes. They become
effective on his order unless Con-
gress, within a period of 60 days
following his executive action,
specifically disapproves of the
program or a part thereof.

PARTIES SPENT
S10,000,000
IN 1928
Republicans and Democrats
Both Have Difficulty in
Filling War Chests

Cost of the presidential cam
paigns of the Republican and
Democratic national commit
tees will not exceed an aggre-
gate of So, 100000 as compared
to more than $1O,OOO,OOO spent
in the lavish battle of 1928,
reports on file with the Clerk
of the House today indicated.
The prediction financial state.
ments of the major parties, filed
under the Corrupt Practices Act,
bear out previous reports that
campaign fund solicitors were
having unusual difficulty.
Both committees have trimmed
their sails to meet their income,
and thus have entered the final
two weeks Of the battle of ballots
with some funds on hand.
$2,5OO,OOO to Date
While the amount expended by
national committees is only a
part of the millions which will
be paid out by State and local
committees, it is an indication
of the reduced cost of campaign
ing this year.
Reports of the Republican ma
tional committee, as of october
"a, and the Democratic commit
tee, as of October %, disclose an
outlay of $2,500,00O in the cam
paign. On approximately the
same dates in the 1928 campaign
the two committees had spent
over $6,OO0,00O.
On the basis of the present
rate of expenditures, it is esti-
mated that the two major parties
can complete the last two weeks
Of the campaign with a million
dollars between them.
Clubs Boost Total
During the battle of 1928, Re-
publican expeditures reached a
total Of $4,774,361 and Demo
cratic expenditures $3,547,543
five days before the election.
Several clubs and allied organi-
cations, boosting either the Roose-
velt- Garner or the Hoover Curtis
tickets, will enlarge the total ex-
penditureS in the national fight.
The outlay from this source,
however, is far less than in 1928,
when the anti-Smith clubs in
various parts of the country re-
ceived large sums of money.
