BEVERLY HILLS, June 25.
(SpeciaD-Well, Mr.. Hoover's
disarmament plan fell just like
all of 'em have. Nations that
have none, say it's fine but
the ones that are well armed
say it's terrible. I have been
to every one of those disarm-
ament conferences both here
and in Europe, and if there is
one thing that has been abso-
lutely proved that can't be done,
it's to get countries to agree
on what constitutes protection.
We can make some fine pro-
posals over here, for Mexico
and Canada are not so strong,
but you put lis over there in
the midst of that mess, and
brother, we would go out and
buy another gun too. We ought
to set by a day of thanksgiV-
ing, blessing the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans for their splendid
judgment in locating where they
did.

GOING BROKE

Rake cannery, operated by Libby, McNeill & Libby, has 120 men employed. Two of these men were employed from Ketchikan and two from Juneau. The company has put up 1,2o0 cases of king salmon or approximately 500,000 pounds, and Alaska's share in the employment is four men,
 The population of Rake is absolutely depend- ent upon the fisheries for their living The four general merchandise stores in Rake are entirely dependent upon the people of Rake for their trade. Said one of the merchants recently: Our people are going broke They have no money We are unable to make any money on our goods We are going broke with our customers. It is only matter of time when we will give all of our goods away on credit or we must just close our doors"
 The people of Rake are not any different from the several other native villages. These people usually spend their money in Ketchikan, Wran- gell, Petersburg, Juneau and Sitka. They will not have any money to spend this fall and winter And on top of that, those natives moving to the main line towns will become charges that the Red Cross end others will have to look after.

TRADING A HOME


 The Juneau business men have adopted resolution in which they ask for the application of ordinance governing peddlers in the capital city The business men do not want the competition which the several peddlers give them It takes trade away from them and it is hurting their business The argument is set forth that these nonresident peddlers do not pay taxes and there fore do not help maintain city government.
 There is not one single argument that the business men bring up in opposition to the peG- dlers that the fishermen have not raised against the salmon trap business. The business men of Juneau have argued that it is right and proper for the salmon trap to operate in Alaska so we take their argument and apply it to the peddler and point out that it is right and proper for any r1an to from house to house soliciting business. If the business are consistent, they will agree that contention is correct If they would be fair and not so selfish, viewing the problem fairly they will agree that the nonresident trap owner is unfair competition and steps should be taken to eliminate it.
 But so long as they refuse to recognize the unfairness of the trap system they cannot hope fer sympathy in their fight against the peddlers. And question is raised whether any city has the power to discriminate through taxation against the itinerant peddler
 Two-thirds of the Republican Appointees in Juneau entered the Democratic primaries to nom- nate Tony Dmond-to the victors belong the spells.
 Attorney General Rustgard's charges of con- spiracy to appoint him to $10,000 year salary did not sit we'll with the President so now Lester Gore of Ketchikan is Judge at Nome.

MILLS DENOUNCES
DEMOCRAT CRITICS
House Schemes 0bStruCted
Revival, He Replies to
Harrison Attack.
BY the Associated Press.

bS lHt hSSeClhNtu fTCbS.
Striking back at Democratic criticisms
of the administration, Secretary Mills
| last night charged business revival was
held up by the objectionable delay
in enactment Of needed tax legislation
and the fantastic economic proposals
emanating from the Democratic House
of Representatives"
! In a statement replying to Friday
nights radio address by Senator Pat
Harrison, Democrat of Mississippi. the
Treasury chief said these factors kept
! the business world and the country in
such a state of uncertainty and appre-
hension that instead of the business
| resumption upon which the Treasury
had counted, and which at one time
| seemed in sight, we witnessed further
/ decline in business
Forced New Revision.
! Accordingly. he said, it was necessary
| for the Treasury to revise its esti-
/ mates of the amount to be raised by
l taxation.
"I listened with interest to Senator
| Harrison's heralded answer to my BoS-
1 ton speech said Mills.
| The answer was no answer at all,
unless an attack on the Presidents poll
cies and on my position as to estimates
and economies may be said to consti-
| tute an answer to an analysis of the
Democratic record. Perhaps there is
! no answer.
1.-THE Senator accuses me Of having
! opposed economies in general. a re-
duction in appropriations for my de-
! partment, and more particularly cur
tailment Of building construction. The
exact opposite is true.
| at was the Senate that specifically
excluded the Treasury building pro-
| gram from any reduction. It was the
! Democratic House of Representatives,
| backed by the Democratic Senators,
/ that insisted on unbalancing the budget
by increasing the public works pro-
gram.
SCOTS at Claims
after listening to Senator Harrison
I repeat what I said in Boston-that II
! the American people have any sense OF
| humor left they will get good laugh
out of the Democratic promise OF econ
omy"
Turning to the tariff Mills said:
Certainly such Democratic leaders as
! Senator Pat Harrison with his long
/ staple cotton, Senator Barkley with his
coal, Senator Connally with his oil and
| Senator Walsh of Montana with his
| copper, when 1t comes to protecting the
products of their own States, see eye
to eye with former Senator Grundy Of
Pennsylvania.
"They at least are foreclosed by their
official acts from complaining about

CHICAGO, July 30.-In an on
slaught on "demagogic appeals, array
ing class against class" Senator L. j
Dickinson, keynoter of the G.. o. P
convention, opened the Midwest cam
paign today for the reelection of Hoo
yer and Curtis.
The Iowa Senator, in a radio ad-
dress, made the Democratic presiden-
tial nominee, Gov. Franklin Roosevelt
target of his attack.
THE Democratic platform" Senator
Dickinson said, "holds out the prom
ise of a saving of not less than 25
per cent in the cost of Federal Gov
Gov. Roosevelt'S administration, since
1929, the cost of State government has
increased a grand total of approx
mately 100000, ,000."
Attacks Glass Appeals.
The Democratic campaign. the
Iowan said, relies upon demagogic ap-
pealS to fan the flames of discomfort
that always spring up in times OF
economic distress. Such appeals are
not going to satisfy the American peo-
pie in this campaign. Arraying class
against class never has, never can win
a war on depression. we can only
win this war by standing together as
a whole people, each group and each
section relying upon the whole hearted
cooperation and assistance of every
other"
The Republican party, Senator Dick
inson admonished, was the first to ad-
vocate the extension of cooperative
agriculture "now proposed in the
Democratic platform
Cites Seaway Treaty.
Roosevelt's stand upon the st. Law
renee seaway treaty was raped at
length by the @. o. P. keynoter. The
Democratic platform, Senator Dickin-
son declared, failed to mention the wa
terway, while New York State has
always opposed the seaway, favoring
instead its State Barge Canal via the
Hudson River" -
On agricultural aid, Senator Dickln-
son said the Republican party in the
past three years had allotted hait a

II is well to have firmly in mind,
during the season of Midsummer elec-
ton forecasts, certain basic aspects of
the present campaign.
This is no ordinary campaign year.
The country Is passing through one
of the severest trials in its history.
The voters are restless under the strain
of their individual and collective wor-
ries; large sections appear almost on
the, verge of political hysteria.
The bonus march on Washington and
the sudden back-lash of opinion on
prohibition are but two of many mani
festationS of the volatile state OF pub
lie sentiment.
Who can foretell, In such q situa-
ton, what will happen three months
ticians, when they are not speaking for
publication, prefer to talk of hopes
rather than actual assurances. BY late
october they may know.
Since 1880.
No clear picture of the possibilities
can even be approXimated without put
ting political buncombe aside and ex-
amining the fundamental facts.
The latest available index to voter
opinion on a national scale was pro-
vided by the congressional elections of
1880. In that year the Nation ar
rived at what to all intents and pur-
poses was a tie Almost an equal num-
ber of Democrats and Republicans were
elected.
WHAT has happened since 1890?
Economically, the depression has con-
tinued, so that in spite of some signs
of upturn millions still are out of work
dispirited, reflective Politically, the
Democrats have assumed a measure of
responsibility by their control of the
last House, which now is asked to
share with the Republican administra-
tion the accommodating resentments OF
the discontented.
This would seem to leave matters in
a most undeterminable state. Various

theories can be applied, leading to vari-
Gus deductions; but how reliable are
theories in such a time?
Two Iniangibles.
Two vastly important factors, in par
ticular, still are among the unknown
quantities. One is the continuing
course of the depression. The other is
the campaigning ability OF Gov. Roose-
velt.
No one knows today whether good
times will be definitely in sight by No
vember. bringing a revival Of Repub-
lican chances. Late July saw quick
ening of activity in some quarters. Car
loadings increased. Live stock and
security prices went up. Wheat long
recognized as a basic commodity, re-
sponded much more slowly.
No one knows what Gov. Roosevelt
will do and say once his campaign
really beginS-what policies he will
adort, whether he can thoroughly unite
his party, how he will impress the
voters. So far as personalities are con-
cerned, he is the enigma of the cam
paign; what President Hoover will dc
is pretty well known in advance.
To put it differently: The Republicans
have counted all along on business
upturn and Democratic blundering and
disunion to offset the losses Of a de-
pression-tossed Republican administra-
ton, and it still remains to be seen
whether either or both of these things
will come to pass.
