ALASKA GETS NEW ALLY.

In Senator Arthur R. Robinson Republican of Indiana Alaska has gained new ally, friend where it needs friends-in Congress That is what his promise to Gov. Troy meant-hs assurance that he will gladly lend Delegate Dimond any assistance possible in obtaining the enactment of any com prehensive legislative program for Alaskan develop ment and settlement Although comparatively young man even now, the Indianan has served nine years in the upper branch of Congress and is nationally known. His present term does not expire until 1885 and during the next two years, the Senate will be called on to act on some measures of prime importance to Alaska where his aid will be of high value.
 Two of the measures likely to come before 1t are the measures, already introduced by Delegate Dimond, for transferring control of local fisheries game and fur resources from Federal to Territorial authority Senator Robinsons attention was directed to these by Gov. Troy who invited him to helE put them though the Senate. His response was immediate and sincere. Why not?," he asked You should control them here,' he added mmed- lately It was apparent that he recognized the Home Rule principle involved. His own knowledge of American history served to convince him instantly and without necessity for argument that here wert two bills that would partly accomplish what ht and everyone else realizes the crying needs O. Alaska-development and settlement. So why not do it?
 Senator Robinson's visit to Alaska is of import ance to it. He has with earnest desire tt know something of it, of it's people, of its problems and of the measures Alaskans have in mind fol their solution. Every question he asked of the Gov. ernor during their conference demonstrated that The results of his northern trip should be bene- fcia to Alaska and serviceable to the entire nation

JUSTICE FOR VETERANS.

That veterans incapacitated by bona fide connected disabilities have little to fear from the National Administration is emphasized by a statement from Washington that certain increases in compensation are to be awarded them in the near future, and that review will be made of all cuts ordered by the Veterans Bureau.
 This announcement should assure the veterans that justice will be done It is complete answer to that criticism that so loudly voiced in Con- gress during it's closing days and that almost led to an upset in the Administrations program to balance the budget It inevitable that the regu latons providing for decreases in compensation and disability allowances announced by the President originally should work some hardships certain veterans and their families New regulations issued are designed to relieve these hardships in the cases of veterans having service connected disabilities.
 The President has given his word that such cases will be looked after adequately and gener- ously That should be as much the veterans desire. They should not want the doors again thrown open to the lobby that budozed Congress for so many years and cost the taxpayers uncounted millions of dollars that should have beer charged against them

John F. Dore Making Great Mayor
 for Seattle.
Seattle Business Chronicle )


 In the first year of his term Chief Execu- tive of Seattle John F. Dore reaches an outstand- ing position among Mayors of American cities as measured by accomplishment for the public good in providing better municipal government at lower cost.
 When Mayor Dore took office the municipality's 1882 budget called for approximately $10000.000 raised by taxation during the past 12month he nas forced economies notwithstanding active opposition of the radical bloc in the City Council led by Pitts and Misener with it's unjustifiabe policy of ex- travagance) that have saved taxpayers about $3,- 500000 Mayor Dore expects to cut city expend- lures further and still deeply, that that 1894 budget will be fully 50 per cent less than 1882 These entrenchments have in nowise impaired eff ciency of government; in fact have really increased efficiency for those still the payroll were soon made to realize they must deliver competent service if they to retain their jobs.
 Mayor Dore truly says Seattle has better gov ernment, better police and fire protection better health service than ever before.
 Here is thought for every American, though in stating it Mayor Dore talking only to Seattle citizens Every dollar taken out of your pockets in taxes comes off your table, off your back out of your homes. cannot conceive why homeowner should cut down his expenditure for food, clothing pleasure or anything else that he needs or desires and permit extravagant government"

HOME FURNISHINGS
BETTERED BY PAINT
Out-of-Date Prices Can Be
Modernized.
BIZ Times Special


WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-The
appearance of home interiors can be
materially enhanced by remodeling
and repainting out-moded pieces of
furniture, according to officials of
the American paint and varnish in
dustries. Painted furniture in re-
cent years has been brought within
the reach of people of moderate
means, it is pointed out, and is
steadily increasing in popularity be-
cause of its combination of artistic
and practical assets.
determination of out-of-da
pieces often can be accomplished by
little carpentry work before the
furniture is refinished in paint,
lacquer, enamel, varnish or stain
OldfaShioned bedroom pieces lend
themselves particularly we'll to mod
ernization. Mid-Victorian beds may
have the high headboard cut down
to the height of the footboard, or
the headboard may be removed en-
tirely, and the footboard used as the
head. Iron and brass beds with
little knobs may also be improved
by removing the knobs and filling
the holes with putty before paint
ing.
Table, cabinet, chiffonier and 9TH
er chests of drawers are heater and
easier to keep clean if painted or
vanished on the inside.

Low Price Paints Held
Really Most Expensive

The products described as bar
gain" paints often have a spreading
rate equal to about one-half that of
high-grade paint, DR.. Gardner
says, and therefore twice as much
paint might be required to finish a
job
Citing a hypothetical case, the re-
port shows that house which may
be painted for total cost of 500
with a good quality paint, would
cost S144 with low grade paint
The $50 job would last for perhaps
five years, with an annual cost of
$18 for paint protection, while the
other would probably have to be
done again at the end of a year,
averaging $144 a year for painting
upkeep.
Satisfactory performance of paint
or varnish under actual conditions
Of service depends on painstaking
care in every step of its manufac-
ture, the association report asserts.
Paint and varniSh manufacture is a
highly technical industry, based
upon elaborate formulate and
methods perfected by years of re-
search and experiment.
The investigation conducted at
the Washington laboratories has
demonstrated conclusively the eco
nomic fallacy of painting with cheap
materials, according to DR.. Gardner
The low cost product usually turns
out to be the most expensive.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.-Cheap
paints and varnishes are actually
the most expensive in the long
run, is the warning to home
owners sent out by the scientific
section of the American paint and
varnish industries in a recent report
based on laboratory tests.
Cost of upkeep painting on the
average home is increased greatly
by the use of inferior products, &C
cording to DR.. Henry A. Gardner,
director Of the paint industry's, bu-
reau of scientific research.
Low grade paints, it is pointed
out, often contain high percentages
of water and petroleum solvents, all
Of which evaporate rapidly and fail
to contribute to the durability of
the paint film. Such paints also
have very poor covering qualities
and color value, and, when exposed,
fade and break down quickly.

MAYTAG OFFERS
FINEST WASHER
Maker Displays Faith in
Trend to Higher
Quality.

In announcing a new and i'm
proved washer, the Maytag Com
pany of Newton, La, evidences firm
belief in the public swing back to
quality merchandise. For this new
washer is the finest washer the
Maytag company ever has built. 1t
is offered at no increase in price.
Fundamentally, this new washer
is the same as the aluminium washer
upon which the company built its
enviable reputation. The square
tub with its cone shaped bottom
and non-splaSh top, the hinged lid,
the Gyrafoam action, the roller
water remover, the adjustable legs
and other characteristic features
are still apparent.
The roller water remover, how
ever, has been improved by the adj
dition of two tension springs, giving
four point equalizing tension for the
self-adjusting Wringer.
The new mono-form base i'm
proves the appearance of the wash
er, forms sturdy brace for the
legs and facilitates replacing the
electric motor with gasoline multi
motor when desired.
The self adjusting legs are
equipped with large, easy rolling
rubber casters, one of which has a
brake lock
All electric powered Maytag
washers are now available with
pump for emptying the tub.

46 States to Eliminate
City Accident Hazards

the creation of other traffic facili-
ties, as we'll as allowing for grade
crossing elimination. Maintenance
of facilities built with these funds is
required Of the municipality.
ITO date, according to records of
the United States bureau of pub
lie roads, more than $50 projects
have been approved while more than
800 actually are under construction.
"The high percentage of funds
allocated to this work by the in
dustrial states should have decidedly
beneficial results in the facilitation
of traffic and the reduction Of acct
dents.
Thus, our cities are enabled to
strike at one of the basic causes of
motor vehicle accidents-that is, in
adequate facilities which include the
continuance of unnecessary hazards
or distractions to traffic.
Then too, the use OF these funds
for urban traffic facilities creates
employment where it is badly
needed.
Since under the terms of the
grants, no funds are required of the
municipality beyond a guarantee Of
maintenance, the responsibility for
failure to correct bad traffic con-
ditions is squarely up to each city"

REDUCE FARES DEC.
Lowest Will Be 2 Cents a Mile as
Compared to SO Now.

New low prices for travel on the
Illinois Central railroad have been
announced by L. A. Downs, preSi-
dent, to become effective Dec. l.
On all lines of the system the new
fares will be:
In coaches and chair cars, 2 cents
mile, both one-way and round
trip; in sleeping and parlor cars, 3
cents a mile one-way; 212 cents a
mile round trip for the longer re-
turn limits; 2 cents a mile round
trip for the shorter return limits.
In addition, the much discussed
Pullman surcharge will be elimi-
mated, resulting in a further reduc-
ton to travellers amounting to one
third in the prices of sleeping and
parlOr car accommodations.
The new fares are being published
for a period of six months. Their
extension thereafter will depend
upon the response of the public dur
the trial period.
Compared with the present basic
fare of SO cents a mile and allow
ing for the Pullman Surcharge, the
reductions are as much as one-haif
in some cases.
