From all indications, the De : mocratic party is smitten with bOilS.
 The Republican wheel horses. according to some, are going to be made cart horses.
 "Hee Haw!" For want of . better campaign slogan, the De mocratS go back to the clement ary sounds produced by friend jAckass.
 If the Brotherhood, so and eo," I would file. Well, h c Brotherhood so and so-ed and some of 'em did not file and in some cases, too darned many filed.
 The political warhorses are off at an even start-'tWon't be even long, What? You probably heard us the first time!
 
 The political boil of the De- mocratic party now wants to tester the territory in the form 0f an auditor. Just imagine!
 The Seward Gateway and Tie Alaskan are agreed on one thing-the factional fight a. 2ainSt Auditor Cole is all wet. hUtaboy Jensen, rip 'em in front and we'll try the tOmahawk from behind to trim 'em down to the democratic size.
 Petersburg is pro-ziegler for Delegate at this time-oh yes, Dmond has a few friends darned few.
 Delegate Wickersham needs only one vote to nominate him. imagine such a fact after several campaigns where he had t. and then had to make a third fight to get his salary from Con- gress. Friends Troy and Connors have lost their punch.

diately put on the seiners ard are obliged to bring smaller amounts than they are capable of bringing while the fish traps alone are permitted to fish with out limit.
 It is evident that if there are 70 independent smaller com-- panies there is no chance what ever for an independent seiner Gone who is not bound by agree ment to fish for one company) to make any money.
 Tn other words, the company seiner, who may owe money to a concern, or who has merely voluntarily agreed to fish for any one company, is now help less. He is limited, when there is enough coming from the traps, or he may be stopped altogether from fishing; he cannot sell to other companies, nor will the company even undertake to try to sell the fish to other cannerie3 for the fishermen.
 This amendment would not only kill the f1oaters but it will snuff out the independent sein- CTS who, even under the present law had a very indifferent mar ket for their salmon.
 It is a matter of common knowledge that the salmon run comes at different dates and the open seasons have been re | gulated somewhat to conform to those dates as is possible, though those dates do not aI- ways coincide every year, a close approximation being ar- rived at by checking up on the runs of previous years.
 These smaller outfits having TO traps strung along the coast. nor any mobile fleet of seiners and large tenders, have in the Irast been obliged to follow t14e unpredictable run of salmon and l. it cannot be known in advance that a run of salmon will be Il Icy Straits, West Coast, or any other place, since each and all Of these places have their off years. With all of the years of Study the canners, the fisher men, and the Bureau of Fish cries have put in, these periodi- cal runs and lean years by sec tlons are far from being predic- table and they all must be alert to see where and what dates the salmon will strike the shore.
 Under these, conditions it be- comes plain that any such a. nendment as that proposed by t h e distinguished gentlemen of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisheries will in af- feet confscate all but those companies having several or many canneries etc.
 As to reports being necessary for the information of the De- |partment of Commerce, that Department now has only to say the word and these can Ireries, or any other business has no choice but to comply.
 That provision in the White Fish Law on 509o escapemant has done almost too effectively. There are dozens Of stream Watchmen who are constantly on the watch to see that a Suf- lfcient escapement is effective. Sec, 2. second paragraph of the same Act is objectable, be cause it would surely discrimi ' nate against the American Fish . ermen unless the American has an agreement, perhaps by treaty, | to have similar closed seasons a. the same dates, with the Ca radian Government. Otherwise We shall have the unique posi- tiOn of looking on while Cana dian boats fish our shores out side the three mile limit while such a law would compel us to sit helpless.
 Sincerely,
 Frank G. Johnson.

 weather Attempt

Members of the Washburn party of mountain climbers, who passed through this city from the States last June on their way to Mount Tairweather with the intention O. scaling the peak, are expected to return kere tomorrow ,enroute to their homes. Their original pur" pose was to conquer the pinnacle which towers 15,30o feet high. by the northwest ridge, but they fail ed in ti.is effort. They concen- trated on an attempt to ascend Mount Crillon, which is not far distant from Mount Fairweather, and which reaches to a height Of about l2,0o0 feet.
 Attack Mount Crihon
 Shortly after the middle of Aug ust, after weeks of exploration, the members of the party discovered what they thought would prove to be a feasible route to the sum- init of Mount Crillon They moved their camp from Cenotaph Island, in Lituya Bay, to the shore of Crillon Lake, and from there un-3 oertook the ascent.
 The result of their attempt to, reach he top of Mount Crillon has not been learned here.
 The Washburn party was taken from Juneau to Lituya Bay last June by the seaplane Chichagof. The m oartaineers have sent word te this city for the airship, and II is expected to leave here for them tomorrow. They plan to return to the States on an early steam ship.

RE-AFFIRMING ALASKANS' RIGHTS.

The statement of Aaska's against locking up Admiralty Island a sanctuary for brown bear, which adopted recently by the Chamber Of Commerce sets up facts sufficient to kill that project for all time if the is settled upon it's subject-too conservative if there is any room at all for criticism.
 It properly assures the Senate Committee on Conservation of Wild Life Resources that Alaskans subscribe to the principle of protecting the wild life of the Territory, particularly the brown and grizzly bears Local people than anyone else have a realization of their value to Alaska And they are in the best position to properly evaluate their importance it's relation to the other natural resources of the Territory and their place in Alaska development. They have large place, and no informed person would undertake to deny it to them
 Already great of the Territory have been set aside from use by the public to protect the bears and other forms of wild fe-areas larger than some of the Eastern States that support large industrial populations. All of the evdence-as con- trasted to the propaganda spread abroad to ncita the fears of the uninformed and easily alarmed conservationists supports the Chambers position that present protective adequate to insure the perpetuation of the species involved in the controversy Even Stewart Edward White has at least occasion admitted that to be factually true. This evidence is fully covered by the Chambers statement than has yet been done by any authority It should be sufficient to block this latest move that is sponsored by Lawyer Sportsman Holzworth.

Dollar Sizes.
New York Times.)

MT. Coolidge diagnoses bad case of national sweled head when he curtly reports i've have found that not big thought were" It is now easy enough to see in how many ways we failed to show ourselves really big We let suc- cess go to heads We gave free rein to the gambling instinct and the acquisitive instinct. We believed ourselves the complete masters of fate whereas only riding the waves of circum- stance We boasted that had entered upon a New Era, and with glow of satisfaction which sug- gested that had invented it. We acclaimed about the miracle of Mass Production. To it up, failed in the traits of self-criticism and self control by which the grown is distinguish ed from the child We were not really big. We were only, as it now turns out 50 Big
 In one instance of actual concrete bigness we went sadly wrong We developed wrong ideas about the size of dollars. We rejoiced that there were many dollars around than formerly, but omitted to note that they smaller dollars. In measuring the growth of our national wealth since the years before the war we often failed to re- member that the dollar in 1928-29 did not what it meant in 1912 We grew and fond of assessing our national wealth. This was partly due to the influence of the war, which fam iarzed the entire world with the ideas of national wealth and national income as the background for taxes and separations and war debts We need not read 100 per cent accuracy into the estimates of national wealth issued at intervals by the Census Bureau or by private experts They were a proper enough basis for comparisons. These we proceeded to make, and when we learned that national wealth in dollars 186 billions in 1912 and 362 billions in 1929 the indicated increase seemed to justify the adjective unprecedented" We seldom stopped to think that 1929 wealth if stated in 1912 dollars would show a considerable shrinkage We might then have discovered that the rate of our increase in wealth during this period while not able indeed scarcely unprecedented, and might even be found to have been surpassed in the first decade of the present century
 In more or less definite form the belief that we living in age of unprecedented billions spread among the people It entered into the fancy of that New Era wherein our wel-being to go on multiplying at previously unheard-of speed Ts- day the people are being educated to the necessity of getting with fewer dollars, but also learn ing that todays dollars are bigger than three years ago. Had people weighed their dollars as well as counted them in the years before 1929, they might not have gone in for riding too high" MT. Coolidge puts it.

Keens Elm Guessing

Borah is not a man to make nasty commitments nor storm through a campaign burning his bridges behind him. Almost more than any other major figure in politics, today, he insists on com- plete freedom of action.
 The maxim of mo entangling alliances" preached so assiduously by him as rule of national con- duct, is no less tenet of his own political code.
 As far back as the Taft-Bryan campaign of 1908, when he was a newcomer in the national scene, he was making and then breaking en- agreements to speak for the Repub- lican ticket.
 In 1912 he surprised nearly everyone by refusing to go along with the Roosevelt Bull Moose ticket. Ever since he has seemed

DOLLAR SIZES AGAIN LARGER.

The New York Times in a recent editorial which is reprinted in an adjoining column points out that although the national wealth in 1929 was about twice, in dollars, what it in 1912 it wasn't actually twice as large. We had more dollars a nation, but the 1929 dollar had shrunk materially in size That is, the 1912 dollar applied to the purchase of either necessities of life or for luxrries went good deal farther in 1912 than in 1929, Prices scared as wages and income ascended to new lofty heights. Of course its reasoning sound
 By the same process of logic the 1882 dollars of the nation much less in number than the 1929 dollars larger in size It doesn't require nearly so many of them to buy more of any commodity to be had, any security, even the most intrinscaly sound, and labor, as it did to buy the things in 1929. And that is the main reason why buying now is wiser than buying in 1929 Our dollars approaching right now the size of 1912, and we have more of them than we had then

splendid success since to date more than 90O000o trees have been planted and the campaign is con- tinuing
 support from everyone. For decades the nations trees cut down to meet it's industrial needs without great deal of thought being taken about replacement to meet the demands of future genera tions In recent years this attitude has given way to viewpoint and the country has been steadily forging ahead with reforestation.
 Thus the Washington Bicentennial tree planting not only provides worthwhile memorials to First President but it serves to arouse Americans to the need of increasing their tree supply, and in prac- tical way demonstrates how it be done.

What will Borah do?n

What will Borah do?"
 For more than 20 years, with multiple variations to fit the oc- casion, this question has had a place all it's own in national poli- tical speculation It is so in 1882.
 No one expects the senior Sena- tor from Idaho to help President Hoover along toward nomination. Few belive he will himself be an avowed candidate. And it is hard to visualize him remaining silen5 altogether.
 The truth is that when you have disposed of these more or less ob- vious negative aspects of the case, even the Senator himself probably could not answer now what his course will be.
 He would like very much to be President. If he saw a real chance to defeat Hoover for the nomina- ton, he probably would run. The conviction grows that, as matters stand. he will do nothing to stop any movement in his behalf, and little to promote it.
 In other words, if his friends see fit to enter his name in those pri- mary states where the written con- sent of the candidate is not re- quired by law, it is believed likely. he will keep as quiet as possible, and let public opinion take it's course.
