go to the unemployed This is what happened in
New York State when Roosevelt was Governor.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT Relief is being interpreted
also to mean the devotion of great sums of public
money to projects having no other purpose than
enriching the Tammany contractors.
The Reconstruction Finance Corporation has
already turned over $3000,OO0,00O to bankers and
corporation heads who are HOOver's political
friends, and is expected to turn over billions more
to ROOsevelts political banker and corporation
friends whereas it is doubtful if as much as $1,000
out of the enormous sums turned over by the Fed
eral treasury to these muti-millionaires has ever
reached the pockets of unemployed workers
Is it not clear that the American working class
has to have its vital interests represented in these
questions?
THEN take the question of mortgage fore
closures This affects the interests of millions
of small home owners of the working class and
middle class in the cities, and many millions Of
American farmers, 10 per cent of whom have al
ready lost their farms in two years to the loan
sharks
Is it not clear that, when Roosevelt and the as
Governors meet in Washington, the farmers and
small Eome owners interests will be most yltally
at stake? The question of Farm Relief" is being
handled by the ruling class and its politicians not
in the way to enable the farmers to escape confs-
cation Of their farms by bankers, but in such way
as to enable the bankers and corporations to collect
the mortgages-the whole aim of this so-called
Farm Relief being to prevent the escape of the
farmers from the debt trap
When 10 per cent of the American farmers lost
their farms in the course of two years, this was
"all right" with the ruling class politicians; it was
only when the farmers revolted that Hoover and
Roosevelt decided something was wrong" and
proceeded to find measures for Farm Relief" by
turning over funds not to farmers but to bankers.
Is it not clear that the farmers and small
home owners have to be heard where mortgage
foreclosures are being considered?
THE question of better land use by afforestation
elimination of marginal agriculture land, flood
prevention will be construed to mean the restric
ton of the poorer farmers as to crowd them off
of their marginal agricultural land for the bene
fit of the wealthy landlords it will mean the favor
ing of big estate owners with forestry service, the
feeding of a horde Of politically connected con-
tractors and estate owners with flood prevention"
measures etc.
THE Reorganization and consolidation of local govern
ment to decrease tax costs" will be construed in
such way to weaken the influence of the working

DRESIDENT-ELECT Roosevelt the day
before yesterday issued call to all the
Governors of the AS States to come to
Washington for meeting in the White
House with the new president on Monday,
March 9Th
The new incoming president gives as
the subjects to be discussed by himself and
the As Governors the following:
(a) Conflicting taxation by Federal and State
governments;
OBJ Federal aid for unemployment relief;
(c) Mortgage foreclosures, especially farm
lands, and
Cd Better land use by afforestation elimination
of marginal agriculture land flood prevention, etc
(e) Reorganization and consolidation of local gov
eminent to decrease tax costs
IT is clear that the most vital interests of the great
laboring masses of city and country are to be
handled on the first business day of the new gov
eminent administration.
The AZ Governors most of whom will gather
in Washington have been, without single excep-
ton elected to governorships in the various states

campaigns that were financed by the bankers
manufacturers, merchants and rich land and mort
gage owners of their various states. president
elect Roosevelt himself belongs to the class of
wealthy aristocrats). These gentlemen, coming to-
gether in Washington to settle the most vital
questions of life and death for more than 100000
900 laboring and suffering people-will consider all
of these questions under pressure Of the class in
terests of the big bankers and trust heads whose
good Will and campaign contributions made pos
sibe the election of these gentlemen.
Class interests will be reflected in the five
questions enumerated by President-eect Roosevelt
in the following way:
IN the matter of taxation, behind the question Of
conflicts between Federal and State Governments
on this or that kind of taxation-is to be found
the REAL question to be settled at Washington
which is who shall pay the heaviest burden of
taxes Of course, the greatest pressure will be eX-
ercised nv the wealthy multi-millionaires who con-
troll all the capitalist political parties and who will
so jugge the taxation question as to put the least
possible burden upon themselves and the greatest
possible burden upon the already bankrupt masses
of workers, "drt" farmers and small business
people
m the question of Federal aid for unemploy-
ment relief the pressure of the strongest
powers OF finance in the world will be exercised to
bring about the heartess betrayal of the 16000000
starving, unemployed workers and the countless
millions of their dependents, to whom Roosevelt
has promised unemployment relief and insurance
In this, the only big industrial country in the
world where there is no social insurance system of

makeshifts OF social insurance under few State
Governments, struggle for Unemployment In

Brave Women Furnish
Inspiration to World

Extraordinary devotion and hardl-
hood was shown by two women on
opposite sides Of the earth.
At Mountainair. n. NJ, the gray
haired mother of n son sought for
murder rode with the posse in pur-
suing him. Long hours she rode
a-horseback with the posse. But the
horse which carried her carried not
the same armed vengeance which
rode beside her She pleaded that
there be no gunplay. She said: Il
can make him surrender / want him
to surrender peaceably. ! win make
every effort TO locate him. And so
she rode.
In Tripolitania, Italian North At
rica, n camel caravan. sent in rescue
by an aviator. brought a young
widow TO Bengazi who had fallen
exhausted in the scorehing sands of
the Libyan desert after carrying her
vlper-bitten husband on her shoul-
ders forty miles For two days she
remained without food or water by
the body and was in state of ex-
haustiOn when the rescuers reached
her.
out of the infinite grist of human
happenings for the day the heroic
stamina and devotion of these two
women lifted them for the moment
into the notice of fellow mortals
across the world. Inarticulate in
their obscure lives, they suddenly
spoke to the world. Possibly no
echo comes back to them. They may
live on knowing nothing at all of
the inspiration which the brief
chronicles of their grim courage
may have brought to more people
than they have seen in the whole
expanse of their lives.-Philadelphia

Finish" Not for
Finest of Woods
Oil or Varnish Treatment
Needed Only to Bring
Out Beauty.

The Dame Unfinished Furniture"
is given tc articles requiring stain,
paint, and varnish, or oil to complete
their finish. White wood, or some
other inexpensive variety, is used for
the wood itself. Furniture of fine
wood has its own style of finishing.
1t does not come under this cata-
loguing of unfinished furniture. The
reason for this is that the fine wood
is sufficiently attractive as it is, for
it to be used, if so desired, without
any finish at all, although this is un-
wise. This is assuming that the ar
ticles are we'll made. They are good
looking even in this state, without
the addition of extraneous agents
named.
The furniture called Unfinished"
Is easily recognized as unfinished by
the very appearance of the wood
which, at glance, can be seen to re-
quire something more done to it, to
make it suitable to go with house
hold furnishings in homes. Pieces
can serve utility purposes, but not
decorative ones until they are fin
ished.
Furniture of handsome woods is
treated with oil or varnish as finish
ing coats to bring out the beauty of
the graining, and to preserve the
wood itself. The oil and varnish
penetrate the wood fibers and in
finiteslmal crevices, darkening the
latter and thus accenting the beauty
of the curves and lines character
istic of whatever wood is thus
treated
Woods of lesser beauty of grain
ing, those which have fiat surface
tones, lack the handsome character
of finely grained woods, and there
fore, by this absence, call for deco
ration. Such woods are generally
painted. The coating of two or three
applications of paint helps to make
them impervious to dents to which
the softer woods are liable, and
which mar the looks The hard
paint surface, therefore, supplies
needed protection as well as orna-
ment to woods which fail to have
inherent beauty of color and grain
ing.
To makers of fine furniture, and
to those who know woods, there is
something akin to irritation caused
by the idea OF painting handsome
woods. There is displayed an igno-
rance of material which Is exasper-
ating. This does not mean that
painted furniture is not good. But
it is type distinct in itself. in which
the paint lends beauty to a lesser
framework.
1t is mistake, however, when
home decorators think to add smart
ness to fine old wood by coating it
with paint. The fine wood should be
scraped of its old finish and restored
to beaut by a new treatment of the
wood to bring back the original
graining and color. The wood is
given its own type of preservation
with oil treatment, and a dull or
bright finish with varnish of the cor
rect sort. Dull finish is preferable
for handsome wood.

Former Local Man Makes
 Important Gold Discovery

Louis McCallum, former To- cal man, is reported to be one of a quartet of prospectors who have made a gold quartz discovery in the Chisana dist rict which bids fair to develop into one of the greatest quartz finds so far made in Alaska, ac- cording to Alaska exchanges.
 The locators are McCallum, Earl Hirst, Joseph McNeill and Bob Reeve. They have located a group of 45 claims, covering seven veins of gold quartz ranging in width from three to six feet, which have been traced for a distance of three and one-half miles. The claims are located on Gold Hill, at the head of Eldorado Creek and are believed by old-timers to be the source of approximately a million dollars worth of plac- CT gold taken from Eldorado Creek in earlier years.

ORVILLE HOGUEWOOD
 REPORTED MISSING

Lost while hunting on Duke Island, near Ketchikan, last Saturday, Orlive Hoguewood, Ketchikan fisherman and for mery Hyder resident, had not been located up to Monday morning and was feared to have met with some mishap, according to the Monday issue of the Ketchikan Chronicle, the last received this week.
 Hoguewod and his father, I. N. Hoguewood, had been trolling near East Island and were returning to Ketchikan when they decided to stop at Duke Island and hunt deer.
 They went into the woods at Morse Cove Saturday after noon, but Orlive did not re- turn to the boat that night. After waiting until Sunday af- ternoon, Hoguewod senior, fearing that his son. was either lost or had met with some mis- hap, contacted the coast and geodetic survey steamer Ex- plorer, which was operating in the vicinity of the island, and radioed to Ketchikan asking for assistance. A searching party left for the island Mon- day. J. s. Pitcher, also a for mer local man, was one of the searchers.
 Orlive is 3Tyears old and is reported to be competent woodsman, so it is believed that only mishap could be re- sponsible for his failure to re- turn to the boat. --#
 Duke island is uninhabited. Within recent years several parties have been lost on the island, which is fairly large and except for one large peak, Mt. Lazro, is very flat.
