BAN ON RECESS
/ Of CONGRESS
IDLE THREAT ,

The novel spectacle of Congress
sitting sullenly in washington
throughout the torrid month of
June while the amateurs" gather
at Chicago to nominate the next
President was thrown upon the
national screen today by worried
leaders Of both parties.
Unless Congress steps on the
legislative accelerator and dis
poses Of the new billion dollar
tax bill, enactS the appropriation
bills, and provides some relief for
the millions Of unemployed, all
by June IL, then the leaders
solemnly aver that the country
is going to be treated to this
extraordinary sight.
A Big Task
It Is q big order to accom-
plish in the 10 legislative days
left between now and June II.
Few believe it can be accom-
plishd-and fewer still believe that
435 Representatives and 96 Sen
ators arc going to be kept a
thousand miles away from "the
shooting" at Chicago.
Despite the Solemnly voiced
threats Of the leaders on both
sides. The leaders may propose
but the membership disposes.
A majority of the members OF
both houses are delegates to their
respective conventions. Most Of
them occupy positions Of leader
ship in their respective delega-
tions.
The keynoters and the perma-
nent chair1nen, as well as the
chairmen of the principal conven-
tion committees, almost invariably
are drawn from Capitol Hill in
both Republican and Democratic
conventions.
No One Does
Does anyone believe they will
consent to be "kept in school"
while the non-professionals in the
two conventions tinker around
with candidates and platforms
at Chicago? No one does.
The threat was regarded as q
threat and little else.

Just Plain Impossible

Down in Ketchikan this win ter was formed new canning company which is operating a cannery at Scowl Arm. Every member of the corporation is or has been a resident of Alaska for over twenty years and one, at least, has been a resident uf Alaska for about 35 years.
 This company, when it came to operate it's plant, brought up a crew of whatEots from Seattle. Mind you, residents of Alaska, so-called business men, bringing in a complete crew of cannery labor from Seattle. One of the company is married to an Indian woman and has children by her one would at least suppose being welded to the country he would have sufficient interest in the people and country that he would insist that local labor be employed.
 This is one of the responses that the canning outfits have made and are making to the appeal of the Governor of Alas ks to employ local labor.

WHY ALL THIS TROUBLE

Here are some of the reasons for the present economic condi-
 characterization or depression or
 what have you:
 Tn Senate Document is pub
 lished the following: Coal oper- |ators reported profits as high as
 1856 per cent and nearly half of |the coal mines reported earnings equal to their capital stock. Gamers of fruit and vege- tables made as high as 2032 per cent. Meat packers made as |high as 4244 per cent. Woolen mills made TITO per cent and the furniture manufac- |turers made 3295 per cent.
 Clothing and dry goods stores made 9826 per cent.
 It has been shown in the de- lbates in Congress that 17,OOO new millionaires were made in the hectic days of 1916-17-f1g- ure that up seventeen thousand million dollars. That is more than was loaned the Allies dur ing and immediately following the World War.
 The bread lines grow longer while those who made their vast percentum are trying to hold up l to the bloated days of imitation.
 The Good Book was not far wrong when it said, "To him that hath shall be given and to
 him that hath not, even that which he hath shall be taken
 away"

A Clear Squeeze

Last year was a bad year for the canning industry. Most Of the operators declared it a night mare and they have not yet, nor will they soon get over their nightmare. But whose fault is 1t?
 The price of pinks and chums last winter was shot down to S5 and 65 cents per dozen. The small, independent oprators were forced to sell at that price and lower, in order to protect the banks in loans that had been made. Either liquidate at the forced low prices or go bank rupt.
 This spring, a group of can- ners including the large cor porations, organized a broker age company" The members of the corporation would sell direct through this selling agency, cer- tain rules laid down and all competition as between these corporations eliminated.
 Their next step was to force the prices back up the ladder so that now 1t is virtually impos- sible to purchase a job lot of pinks or chums under $1.10 and 85 cents a dozen. The little fel- lows have been kicked out of the game. The big fellows have con- trol of the production end M thanks to Henry O'Malley, Unit ed States Commissioner of Fish cries, and the brokerage" com pany.
 Alaska is left holding the pot. Resident business has not yet awakened to the fact that there are more nickels, dimes and quarters in circulation than dollars, five and ten pieces; that the resident labor Is the real producer of wealth and that only the crumbs fall from the tables of these companies which gorge themselves with the good things of Alaska. To awaken late is better than to die of starvation-but 1t entails a pro- cess of acquiring wisdom which in the end will not be fruitful for the territory.

There is a call of a combina- tion of clements to meet in Kan- sas on or about the 24th of this month. Out of this group will come the platform and candi- dates for third party. Just how far this party will get is hard to conjecture at this time. It is a lead pipe cinch that the party will not have sufficient strength to elect the next president. But if this third party aligns itself with one side or the other, it will mean a deal of difference = CT if it takes away considerable

June 14th was Flag Day. A day which should have the deepest meaning to every true Ameri- can. It was on the 14th of June in TIT that Congress resolved That the flag of the thirteen United States be thirteen stripes alternate red and white, that the Union be thirteen stars, white .in a blue field, representing a new constellation" This was the authority delegated to General Washington to design the flag and that same day, tradition has it, he visited Betsy Ross, with Robert Morris and George Ross, one of the signers of the De- claration of Independence and the uncle of Betsy Ross's de- ceased husband.
 The grand union" flag was designed by Washington him. self during 1776 at Boston and the new order displaced the Washington design. In homelv fashion was the flag designed and in a few moments did the nimble fingers ply over the pat terms to perfect that flag which has flown over the nation since designed.

The American Flag

Flags have flown for the vant- ty of kings and have been hated by millions of people because of the cruelties and injuSticcs which have come of such rule. Frejudices have dominated and racial animosities have ruled.
 But with the making of the Grand Old Rag" and with the
 Declaration of Independence, came a new era of promise that all men were born equal; that liberty and justice shall
 prevail.
 In these times of economic expressions; these days of the rule of greed, it would be well if the dominant class would take up their old text books and go back to the fundamental princi- ples set forth not only in the Declaration of Independence, but in the speeches of George Washington. Not only read them,
 but make an earnest and honest
 application of the principles set forth A real conscientious effort at so doing will make tn c Grand Old Rag" something that even the worst enemy of
 organized government will re-
 spect.

The national party conven- t1ons now hold the center of the stage The Republicans will stage their big circus first; then the Democrats will come along with another circus and a couple of sideshows to make it more inter esting.

Of Republican leanings, it will strengthen the possibilities of 2 Democratic candidates.
 In the meantime the two mai Or parties will have nominated their candidates-the platforms will have meant just about as much as past platforms. Busi- ness will get settled down to an- other yank at labor and every thing will be rosy again.
