Lieut.. and Mrs. Massie have returned to their home in Ken lucky where they are trying to hide from the spotlight of pub licity which has been centered upon them since the murder Of a half-caste Hawaiian, alleged to have been one of a group of men who attacked the woman. The towns people are showering them with gifts and commisera : tiOn for the trials and tribula- tions and publicity they endured.
 In Hawaii a representative in the legislature has proposed a measure to appropriate $5,0OO to the family of the alleged rapist to compensate them for his death at the hands of the American officer and two sea- men.

SMALL TOWNS DON'T DIE
 THEY COMMIT SUICIDE.

1 Towns do not die, they con-
 init suicide, said a newspaper recently. And it is true.
 If everybody who makes his money in this community would spend his money in this con- Immunity the home town would double in population in a few years and everybody in and around it would be prosperous. Why are filling stations out of proportion to every other line of business in number? Because people buy almost all of their gas and oil at home.
 It is really inexplainable, why people will persist in spending money out of town needlessly, when the results of this practice are so costly. We know of one individual in the city now out of ! a job. This particular individual 'arely spent a cent in Eaton Rapids, even when he could have saved money. Some two or three years ago this person was in formed that if his practice of i spending money out of the citv
 continued, he would work hin.-
 self out of a job entirely. And
 that is just what has happened.
 How can the business men, or
 any one else, hire employees if
 they have nothing for them to
 do, or any money to pay them?
 When you spend a dollar out side you take it right out of the
 pockets of some local citizen. And speaking of the penny
 wise and pound foolish" policy.
 this is it. Save a few cents by
 spending your money in some
 other city, and then in the
 course of time find your husband
 out of job because business
 conditions here will not war

 The fight is on in all smaller
 cities. This does not only apply i to Eaton Rapids. It is becoming

THE ORGY OF WASTE

President Hoover is opposed to the bond issue in the sum of five billion dollars which speci- fically is to be raised in bonds and to be expended in road and other construction for the e1n- p'oynent of labor. The President holds that the thing is wrong ill principle and that instead of the money being handled in this way it should be handled through the Reconstruction Finance Board. Outside of lending money to railroads which immediately paid their obligations to certain large banking interests, we do not know that the R. F. B. has done anything noteworthy that would justify it's existence.
 And anyhow, the R. F. B. has bad it's chance to bring back prosperity and seemed to have made a real successful failure in it's effort. Perhaps if the govern

APPLY THIS TO ALASKA

"Ours is a government of all people, created to protect and promote the common good, and when the claims of any group o1 class are inconsistent with the welfare of all, they must give way."-President Herbert Hoov- CT.
 The claims of the fish trap men are inconsistent with the welfare of all Alaskans. The re- gulations promulgated by the Commissioner of Fisheries are and have been distinctly to pro- mote the welfare of a certain class and group to the hurt of all the people of Alaska.
 The citizens of Alaska have 2 fundamental right to make a living from it's resources which right has been deliberately stol- en from them by the machina- tions of a federal bureau set up to protect the resources of the territory.
 The whole administration of the fisheries of Alaska is concen- trated in the hands of the large fishery corporations and their object and effort is to control it in such manner that they will make the most profit regardless of the welfare of the people of Alaska. The whole principle of fisheries administration in Alas ka is not consistent with the principle laid down by President Lincoln. Alaskans will appreciate more real action toward the pro- |tection of the common good. High flown and bombastic ora tory will not procure for Alas kans the ordinary necessities of life.

TEN DOLLARS A THOUSAND

The salmon canners will pay $l0 per thousand for pink salm : cn this coming season-if an l when they buy it from the fish ermen.
 Last summer the fishermen were unable to make a living wage with salmon selling at $40 a thousand.
 Last year the price of $40 a thousand included oil, gasoline and fuel for the boats. The price this year is $10 straight without gasoline, without lubri- eating oil; without fuel.
 The average catch last year IF Southeastern Alaska was 25,000 at $10 per thousand the earr- ing of the average crew will be $250-groSS. It costs the average fisherman $100 to outfit for the season-not including his family expense. With five men to the boat, the initial expense to outfit t would be $1,250-or 5000 more than the total earnings of the crew.

BUT WE WILL EAT"

Said a fisherman, we will not be able to earn any money this summer, but we will eat anyhow" Conditions have come to a pretty pass in this rich country of ours when men look ahead to a seasons work "just to eat" With such an outlook ahead, it is no wonder that the business men are growing pessi mistic. But whose fault is it? The fishermen who have insiS- tently, consistently and consis- tently pointed out the damable drscriminations of Henry O'Mal- icy in his administration of the 1sheries-or is it the fault or the toe-kissers, the sychophants, the beneficiaries of the Bureau or Fisheries and MT. O'Malley?
 The Alaskans will and when they make preparations to get food making no noise or fuss about it, then must the ruling class beware.

1LL-ADvIsED ECONOMY

Attempting to eliminate from the army supply bill an item of $354, 4,310 allotment for Alaskan roads and trails, Representative McDuff1e said that Alaska's bud get estimate this year amounts to more than $4,OOO,OO0. "I doubt if the amount of income from Alaska to the federal treasury amounts to anything like that, :" he observed, sagely.
 It would be interesting to learn how much revenue the fed eral treasury expects from the creeks improved" with funds from the rivers and harbors pork barrel.
 Since 1889 Alaska's creeks have produced $4OO,OOO,O00 in gold n er mountains nave y1elQeu $225, 100000 in copper; more than $175,OOO 900 has been re- ceived for her furs and more than $9OO, 100000 for fish taken from her waters. She has pur- chased more than $800,000,000 worth of merchandise from the States.
 Wealth to the extent of almost two thousand million dollars has been contributed by Alaska to the people of the United States. If the federal treasury did not get it's share, it's officials have been guilty of an unusual over

HERE AND THERE

Senator George w. Norris O. Nebraska pointed out in the Se- nate recently that farmer in his state with his family worked 16O acres and earned $143, net, last year.
 Last summer the average fish = ermen in Southeastern Alaska did not earn S100 and lived on it during the past several months.
 This winter, one family in Petersburg lived on straight salt salmon given them by local fish ermen. If you think that straight salt salmon, without other ne- cessities is a good diet, just try living on it for a couple of weeks.
 The average Alaskan is just as bad off as the laboring class of the states but they are able to cover. up their want and destitu,' tion. Another few months and they will be unable to cover their reeds and as they become more destitute the merchants and business men will have greater problems to meet than just polt- tically fighting and opposing the fishermen who only ask for a chance to earn a living.

BUNKUM ECONOMY

The road appropriations for the Territory were cut by Con- gress from $65O,OOO to slightly ever $350,0OO for the next year. Mr. McDuffle, the good repre- sentative from Alabama made effort to have that appropriation cut out altogether in the inter est of economy" It was a waste of good tax money to invest ir road development in Alaska where the population was sparse and only 28,OOO out of the 6O,OO0 was of the white race.
 Did you hear the Representa- tive from Alabama protest the waste of tax money in the sub- sidizing of the Roosevelt Morgan line between Baltimore and Hamburg? No! The United Stat es is paying that little" com pany $6 per mile or $24,462 for every trip between Baltimore and Hamburg or $1,272,O14 for the year to carry a few pounds of mail between the two ports. The company has a ten-year postoffice contract at thosc C figures or in that time it will cost the government $12,272,014 to pack the small amount Of mail between Baltimore and Hamburg. Already this year the government has paid to the Roosevelt Morgan line over $300,OO0 on their contract-a far greater expenditure with less possibility of return on invest ment than the $650, ,000 asked for Alaska roads.
 When MT. McDuffie talks about wasting money on roads in Alaska he and other congress :. men should not be taken serious ly for there are other wastes and Subsidies" far worse than any ever thrown Alaska's way.

 The depression and unemploy- ment with attendant suffering and misery, with thousands dy- ing throughout the land through sickness directly attributable to lack of sufficient food and nour- |ishment, is a good thing for American children. Because their diversity keeps parents in closer contact with their chil- dren and can see the little ones die by slow degree. They can see physical development retarded, mental development halted and moral development destroyed. It is a good thing, according to the Secretary of the Interior, that there is depression and unem- |ployment-f1ne for the children land the parents especially will enjoy it.
