PURCHASING POWER OF A DOLLAR

To meet present conditions there is a general
readjustment all around. Wages are lower but
living costs are also lower. 1t is interesting to
compare the amount a dollar will buy today
with what it bought a few years ago. One of
our exchanges has arranged the comparison in
graphic form, showing a grocery list of today
would buy in 1920:
In 1929-$28.5O bought only 100 pounds
of sugar.
In 1932-$2S.50 buys 100 pounds of sugar,
plus these items:
100 pounds of Pinto beans.
SO pounds Of flour.
20 pounds of corn meal.
II pounds of lard.
10 pounds honey ham.
$ pounds finest coffee.
2 pounds confectioners sugar.
l pound baking powder.
IS pounds pure honey.
l pound of pure apple jelly.
4 pound jar pure strawberry preserves.
; pounds of cocoa.
1 quart salad dressing. .
1 jar of relish.
; pints Wesson oil.
; tall cans condensed milk.
l gallon fancy sour pickles.
l quart fancy sweet pickles.
packages macaroni.
packages Jello.
l pound fancy assorted cakes.
packages oaJo.
3 packages grits.
E packages baking soda.
6 cakes laundry soap.
& cakes toilet soap.
2 pound package prunes.
2 cans asparagus.
2 cans pears.
; cans early June peas.
2 cans peaches.
2 cans pineapple.
10 cans pork and beans.
; cans hominy.
; cans lima beans.
2 cans fancy green peas.
; cans fancy sugar corn.
This is a lengthy grocery list and it can be
more than matched in dry goods and ready
to-wear shops. The prices of essentials have
perhaps not kept pace with declining incomes,
but they are certainly a third off. In this rapid
decline of prices, merchants have taken severe
losses, but they have met conditions with great
common sense and discriminating buyers can
live at least one-third cheaper today than they
could at any time within the last ten years.

Local Fisherman
 Victim of Water

The body of Nels Johansen was found Wednesday morning on the beach below the Trading Union where it was left on the beach by the tide. Johansen had left Charley Mann's poolrooms about three o'clock that morn ing to return to the halibut schooner Mitkof which was on the Trading Union gridironS for minor overhauling. His body was found about five o'clock.
 It is presumed that Johansen met with an accident while go- ing aboard the Mitkof and un- able to swim was soon drowned. He had been playing a friendly hand of cards just before re- turning to the boat so that his friends are nable to account for whatever mishap that occurred that led to his death.
 He is survived by his brothers Capt. Sverre Johansen, Erling Johansen and sister Mrs. Huns peth of Juneau and two grown children in Tacoma. Deceased was about fifty years of age and engaged in fishing out of Petersburg and had many friends whose sympathy now go out to the relatives who mourn his demise.
 MT. Johanson was 50 years 9 months of age. He was born in Sorreisen, Norway and came to the United States thirty years ago wherein he has resided since.
 The report of the coroner who investigated the death is that it was due to accidental drowning.

Governor Pinchot has tele- graphed State Senator J E. Ben nett of Portland, Ore, that he would not permit his name to be used in the Oregon Repub- lican presidential preferential primary election. Bennett last week telegraphed the governor for permission to use his name.
 The governor declined to com ment on the candidacy of 8 number of his friends for cleo tion as district delegates or al- ternates to the Republican na- tional convention. He said he had nothing to say on the state ments of some of these candi- dates that he would be a can- didate for the party presidential nomination.

Again Ask Dept.
 Change Schedule

The Commercial Club held it's regular Wednesday evening din ner-meeting at the Grand Cafe. The matter of cable hours was again brought up and discussed and it was urged that the De- partment restore the old hours during the fishing season. This was urged for the reason that telegraphic connections under the old hours would permit of rapid transactions which under the new system is delayed some what. It was pointed out that the community needs every dol- far possible and that the i'm mediate contacts with southern buyers would permit of sale b. cally. The long wait under the present system it was said tends to hamper completion of deals so that the fishermen are in clined to run on south rather than delay until opening hours in the morning.
 There was a large attendance of the membership and consi- derable interest shown in the topics discussed.
 The Club endorsed the cand.- dacy of Worrell Wilson as off, cial of the United States Cham Der of Commerce.
 The Club at Ketchikan advised that it was in receipt of the communication from the local organization relative to the con- Servation of herring. A bill is pending in Congress relative to the industry with the purpose of protecting the herring from being wantonly wasted and de- stroyed. The Ketchikan Club had forwarded the communica- tion to the Juneau organization With the request that the sepa- rate organizations undertake 2 referendum on the matter. This is with the view to securing a united action from the Alaska organization relative to the bill.

Alaska Railroad
 Endangered

In a letter to the Seward Chamber of Commerce in an- sWer to one about the proposed erection of coal bunkers, SenaC- or R. B. Howell, Nebraska, said each additional call made upon the United States Treasury for support of the Alaska Railroad "endangers it's existence"
 Senator Howell is chairman Of a special Senate committee which investigated the railroad last summer. Eight thousand tons of coal have been guaran- teed annually for the bunker, but Senator Howell said the guarantee should be 10000 tons" The senator further stat ed that "all unnecessary con- struction for the railroad should be avoided"
 Influential voices at Wash ing1ton are suggesting the Alas ka Railroad be abandoned or at least the Seward Anchorage sec ton, as there is no hope of the road becoming self-sustaining,' the senator asserted in his let ter. But, he said, the committee is unanimous in the desire to save the railroad.

U. s. RETALIATION IS
 ASKED AGAINST FRANCE

Indication that the French government intends to continue the quota system on imports brought advocation of "trade war" of retaliation against France from American business men.
 The American chamber of commerce in Paris presented 3 resolution to Ambassador Wal ter E. Edge asking that President Hoover authorize retaliation a. gainst France because of alleged discrimination against American goods. The ambassador promis- cd to transmit it to the state department, thru which it will reach the president.
