no cannery may be operated in
more than one place or location
during that year.
The purpose of which law is
to shut out any or all small
salmon cannery operators and TO
conserve" salmon by prevent
ing a floating cannery from
moving from one section to an
other whereby they may obtain
at small cost salmon for can
ming. There is no inhibition a.
gainst the packing of salmon
several hundred miles to a STA
tionary plant which is in effect
the same as moving floating
Cannery from one section to an
other. In the past Gamers in
Ketchikan district have gone
several hundred miles to Lynn
Canal and obtained fish for
canning; they went out Prince
cf Wales District and did tho
same. But under the new law
it would be illegal and wrong 20
move floating cannery in
stead of moving the salmon.
The logic of the Bureau Of
Fisheries is something we cannot
iathom. According to the recon-
r1endations of Mr.. O'Malley it IS
proper to transport in boats Or
scows, salmon from one district
to another. Under the same law,
It will be illegal to move a float
ing cannery from one district to
another to permit them to do in
small way what the larger
corporations do right along with
she permission of the depart
c1ent. Perhaps We are just dumb
and can't understand the logic
of the new law. At least, we have

hers of labor organizations, ARE
entirely reasonable. CONGRESS
SHOULD GIVE THEM IMME-
date AND SYMPATHETIC
CONSIDERATION.
BY Philippine as we'll as
American students of this prob
lem the conclusion was reached
long ago that the dumping of
Filipino laborers on the Pacific
Coast was a menace both to the
people of the Philippines and 10
the people of the United States
and ought to be stopped.
F'ilipinos need in their own
islands all the labor that they
have. Their economic develop
n'ent depends upon keeping
their own people at home ana
training them to work in and
for the Philippines.
The Philippine people will
not be prepared for any more
autonomy than they now have
until they get much further
along the road toward economic
independence. Their progress
toward this goal depends in
large part upon developing an
adequate supply of more or less
skilled native labor.
Certainly the United States
has all the labor in this country
that it requires~ In fact, it has
far more at the moment thar it
can find work for.
CONSEQUENTLY, THERE IS
NO NEED HERE FOR THE FILL
Emo LABORERS THAT ARE
C('MING IN, THEY CAN NOT
BE ASSIMILATED. THEIR
PRESENCE HERE is DETEI-
MENTAL TO THEM AND TO
us. NO MORE SHOULD BE AD-
MITTED, AND THOSE THAT
ARE SHOULD BE ENCOURAGE
ED TO RETURN.

JUMBO was the childrens idol, and when
~ the news of his unfortunate death reached
the city there were many sad hearts and mois-
tened eyes. Indeed, not only was he loved by
the children of Washington and elsewhere
where he was exhibited, but even more so by
the children of London thousands of whom
had enjoyed pleasant ride upon his back. He
had been forcibly taken from his mate Alice,
and from the Royal Geological Gardens in
Regents Park. by Mr. Barnum for exhibition
purposes.
Barnum had many good points, but where
the making of money was involved as with
SO many others, he did not always stop to
consider the heartaches and the grief he might
be causing one set of people in order to please
or "humbug" another set. And so it was when
he, early in 1882, sent the following telegram
to Mr.. Bartlett, superintendent of the London
Geological Garden:
What is the lowest price you will take for
your large African elephant?" :,
Nor did the council having Jurisdiction in the
matter think much of the little ones, but after
hurriedly discussing the matter, and after ig
noring every protest it replied: 1.-TWO thousand
pounds, to be paid for as he stands" An agree
ment was Immediately entered into, and soon
Mr Barnuns agents arrived in London to
home for % years. But this not SO easy
as they thought it would be.
strong box IL feet high, IA feet long and
feet wide was made. That it was substan-
tial may be judged from the fact that with its
bolts bars and other strengthening apparatus
it weighed upward of four tons. But the
animal did not leave his home without resist
ance and it was with difficulty that he was
finally landed aboard the steamer bound for
this country.
A T first they tried to drive him in the box,
but he was not to be caught in this way,
and when they finally got his front feet in
the inclosure he lay down fiat and stretched
out, refusing to go any farther. "The more
they led him backwards and forwards" an
English account tells us, "the more determined
grew his resolution not to lend himself to any
such immoral proceedings as he perceived were
contemplated. Tired out at length the at
tendants proposed to lead him back to his
accustomed stall, and to this he cheerfully
assented. AS the Persian Monarch, in which
he was to sail, started on Sunday morning
there was no time to be lost, SO another method
had to be tried At daybreak he was taken
out Of the gardens the plan being to march
him down to the Millwan Docks, where, it was
hoped, being tired with his walk he would

at sight of the advancing locomotive took in
the full significance of his perilous position,
AMI throwing up his trunk, sounded long
shrill note of warning to the baby elephant
which was accompanying him, and then set
off at brisk trot down the track ahead of the
Swiftly-moving train. In vain the engineer
whistled for brakes and tried to check the prog
ress of his train the grade was steep and the
heavy cars pushed the locomotive forward. The
baby elephant was struck by the cow catcher
of the locomotive and tossed to one side with
a broken leg, after which the rocking engine
bore down upon old Jumbo. Seeming to realize
that escape was impossible, the big beast came
to q standstill an instant before the locomotive
reached him, and braced himself for the COL
lision. 1t was like the coming together of two
freight trains The locomotive was thrown
upon the embankment and six cars de-
rallied. Jumbo alone held the track, but the
luckless giant had received injuries from which
he died few moments later"
HE Star, in editorially commenting upon the
death of Jumbo, took the opportunity to
point out moral in doing SO. and said:
Jumbo is dead. The friend of youth, the
admired of all, the boast and wonder of the
age is no more, and what remains to us is
to bear our loss with resignation and to extract
from the sad event its moral lessons.
Jumbo met his untimely and tragic death
by getting in the way of train OF cars. He
was walking along the track with his keeper
when freight train ran into him and crushed
him to death.
The moral of this distressing accident is OBJ
vioiS Jumbo is dead because innocently, no
doubt he antagonized the course of events, he
opposed the spirit of the age and obstructed
the progress of mankind Other big beasts
have tried the same experiment with in
variably the same result, and the conclusion
may now be accepted as fully established that
ir collisions of this sort the course of events,
spirit of the age or progress of mankind will
always win. If any one could have succeeded
Jumbo could and Jumbo is dead.
1T is very desirable that the politicians and
all others who cope with mankind in the mess
should study the anecdote Of Jumbo and the
freight train. No matter how great and strong
politicians may be, if they either by accident
or design oppose themselves to the course of
events it is certain that there will be tragedy
in which they, and not the course Of events,
will be the chief sufferers
Just now this tendency of the times seems
to be toward reformed civil service, a friendly
forgetfulness of war issues, the abandonment of
a semi -barbarous metal currency and an In
creased respect for labor and temperance.
Politicians of both parties should be careful
not to get caught and crushed by the peoples

rally point is approximately
around the "a level, as against

In other words, for the first
time in a long period it is the
rail group which has been furn-
ishing the leadership on the
advance. If favorable news is
forthcoming from today's confer
ence of rail executives and labor
leaders, then it is altogether pos
sible the rail group will be able

Bond Trend Satisfactory
The present rallying period in
the market, backed as it is by
an improving bond market, ap-
pears in the eyes of usually well
informed observers the most
genuine seen in some time.
In fact, the consistency Of the
bond markets behavior since De-
cember II is considered the out
standing constructive factor in
the whole financial situation.

NEW FINANCING.
LOW IN 1881

The total of new stock and
bond financing in the United
States during 1881 shows a drop
Of $5,639, ,688, 900 from the peak of
1929-representing a decline of
approximately so per cent-ac-
cording to the monthly review of
Lawrence Stern and Company, in
veStment bankers of Chicago and
New York.
Final compilation of 1881 Sc
curity offerings, the review states,
shows a total of $3,763, 3,373, 900
against $9,4O3,061, 900 in 1920.
The greater part Of the decline.
1t is shown, was in stock issues,
where the drop between 1929 and
1881 was more than go per cent.
While the decline in bond
issues was less striking-owing to
a fairly substantial bond total
during the first six months of
1931-the last three months of
the year showed a minimum vol
ume of bond financing.
Particularly drastic declines
were registered in foreign bonds,
where the 1881 total was less
than one-sixth of that in the
previous year, and in real estate
bonds, where the 1891 total showed
a decline of 80 per cent from
1880.

The stock market now has con-
vincingly broken through resist
ance levels on the upside. It
forged ahead on a volume of
turnover SO per cent larger than
that Of the previous day. a de.
finite indication that speculative

entitled to recover at least SO
per cent of the ground lost in
