Nanuk Be Film Ship
 In North Country

Charter of the famous fur trading schooner Nanuk, veteran of thirty eight cruises to the polar seas, by Metro-GoldWin- Mayer, motion picture producers, for use in making a motion pie ture version of the novel "The Eskimo" in Alaska, is expected | to be closed in Seattle this week. Negotiations between tn e Swenson Fur Trading Company, owner of the Nanuk, and Frank Messenger, representing Metro Goldwyn-M Mayer, virtually had been successfully concluded re- gently.
 Peter Freuchens, Danish au.. thor, who wrote the book, "The Eskimo" was in Seattle recently in connection with the eXpedi- tion to the Arctic, where the story will be filmed.
 A motion picture company of twenty-seven persons, including johnny Weissmuller, famous swimmer, who was the star of "Tarzan, the Ape Man." will sail from Seattle in July or August in the Nanuk. The vessel is now in the plant of the Lake Union Dock & Machine Works. She will be outftted in Seattle for the cruise to the Arctic.
 Of all the Siberian fur trading vessels the Nanuk probably is the most famous. The vessel has been making cruises far to the westward in the Arctic a n q bringing back tales of adventure in the ice foes and of willy Rus sians bent of seizing the schoon- Ter, her valuable cargo of furs and her crew. The Nanuk often vas a mercy ship in the distant reaches of the Arctic, where she gave of her provisions to trap pers and traders maroOned Tn the great snow country.
 Marion Swenson, former Seat tie high school girl, made q cruise in the Nanuk to Siberia in 1929, and was taken off by airplane after the vessel had be- come hopelessly marooned i'll the Arctic ice. Miss SWenson was accompanied by her father, OlaS Swenson, president of the Sven son Fur Trading Company.

EDUCATING THE YOUTH

We built up in America a great system of education and we have provided that every child must receive it's share of schooling. We have been at work for more than a century building up this system, but in our building we have overlooked one vital factor. We have stressed too much the purely academic in our inStruc-
 tion, we have been prone to ac- cept education of the mind alone as the ideal. Today we are real- izing our mistake for we find
 that we are turning out 90 per cent of our youth equipped only for the so-called white collar oc- equations which can provide places for only 10 pc rcent of

SWARMS OF OFFICERS
From Seward Gateway

In re-reading that immortal document, the Declaration of Independence, which recites the grievances which impelled the American colonies to rise and throw off the British yoke, we were struck by a paragraph which appealed to us with a new significance. Referring to King George III, it declared:
 "He has erected a multitude of new offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out our sub- stance"
 It appears that "swarms of of- ficers" were distasteful to the sturdy forefathers. What would they say to the army of office holders who "harass our people and eat our substance" today?
 Every session of Congress and every session of tn estate legis- lature enacts laws creating new offices. Seldom is an office once established ever abolished, ex- cept to create a different and more expensive office or offices in it's place. Ofice-holders' sal aries are often raised, but never lowered.
 Some day, possibly, a majority of the voters will rebel, as die the early fathers, and by theil ballots, instead of bullets, call halt on those legislators who's chief aim appears to be the in crease of public payrolls.-

 Any state, on application to Uncle Sam, would be entitled to receive free of cost any federal fish cultural station or agricul- tural experiment station, under the proposed House economy bill. The gift would carry no obligation except that in the case of fish hatcheries the title would revert to the United States should the use of the property be changed or should the state attempt to sell it.

 ALSO IT'S POWER TO CREATE
 From The Seattle Star
 >"The power to tax" it's often said, lis the power to destroy"
 True; and it also is the power to CREATE. Don't forget that.
 Just taxation, placed on the shoulders able to bear it, is 3 creator of Wealth-and public confidence.
 It is more important to create confidence in the minds of fifty million run-of- of-the-mine Ameri- cans than it is to assure hun dred millionaires thatr thei hoardings are safe.
 You hear walls that the high taxation rates recently imposed by Congress on swollen fortunes are conf1scatory'. Wealthy men are calling representatives Com munistic.
 Of course, when you hit a wealthy man in his pocketbook, he yelps. He is just being made oo give back, to all the people, some of the money he took away from them.
 Nearly everyone, nowadays, believes things would be better If wealth were spread out more evenly. There is only one way to do this: Take it away from those who have too muhc and spread it around among those who have not enough.
 That may sound communist ic" or radical and anything you choose. But it is the way this nation is going about doing it-and that's that!

he. took a stroll over mountain trails,
however, and then spent a short time
at his desk in his cabin.
& A Marine G1rplane flew over the
camp this morning dropping load of
morning newspapers and that part OF
the White House mail that should
come to Mr.. Hoover's personal atten-
ton.
The President was informed the
bonus marchers he was instrumental in
eXpelling from Washington had been
offered a tract within a comparatively
few miles of the Capital, but he had nc
public comment to make upon this
move
During the week the Chief Executive
has had an opportunity to discuss SUBJ
jects to be included in his COMING

Of this address, which probably will set
the keynote of his campaign, already
