that the annual open season in the
North Prince of Wales Island Dis

Recovery Act to Make
Big Change Business

Charles r. Rose, of the field de-
partment OF the [. S. Chamber OF
Commerce at Washington, D. c.,
arrived in Wrangell yesterday. He
is making a trip through the Ter
ritory visiting the principal cities
from Ketchikan to Fairbanks for
the purpose of discussing with
business men the National Indus
trial Recovery Act which becomes
law this week.
The new law permits the set
ting aside of the antitrust pro-
visions of the Sherman Act for a
period of two years to allow bust
ness men to get together in trade
associations and other organized
groups for the purpose of determin-
ing, first, nahum hours of labor,
minimum wages, prices, and elm
mating unfair trade practises ami
estructive competition.
These rules of fair competitio
aid down by business men them
elves will be submitted to a fed
raj administrator. When approved
y him they become law in that
particular industry. Violations will
be subjected to severe penalties.
Mr. Rose is calling to the atten-
ton of the business men the i'm
, portance of becoming fully inform
ed. 1t is the most revolutionary
Legislation enacted in recent years,
he belives, and now, not only per-
mits but forces business men to do
the things they have wanted to do
for years but which the Sherman
Act prevented.
When asked to suggest how
Wrangell business men should pro-
coed in order that they might par
ticipate in these benefits, Mr.. Rose
said that to those whose business is
subject to the influence of trade
associations, such as the salmon
Gamers, retail dry goods men, retail
grocers, etc., should at once get
in touch with their respective trade
| associations.
The Wrangell Chamber of Com
merce, he said, should be a clear
ing house of information for its
members. This Is the greatest OPP
portunity for service, he declared,
that Chambers of Commerce have
ever known.
In the event that business men
are unable to get together in any
/ trade group or section of the coun-
try, the federal administrator will
formulate the plans for the group.
Mr.. Rose will be in Wrangell
until the arrival of the Alaska. He
is accompanied by Mrs. Rose, who
IS making her first trip to the
Territory.

Costly Local Government

Impartial Investigations Needed-Then ACTION
Reduction of the staggering of local county govern
men ought to be Of the chief oecves of the American
people throughout the coming year.
Nearly every community carrying the immense burden of
ouworn forms of administration with their of
sary officials and their of duplicated functions
No private business in times of prosperity coud sur
vve with such costly complicated and inefficient organization
The only reason that local and county
been able to survive has been the ignorance or indifference
taxpayers regarding them
But with the diminished income and Increased taxas m 20
cent years the taxpayer awakening to the fact that the
largest part of his dollar support these utterly
qusted and largely useless set-ups
There are signs that he demands change.
AS first step in that change it is essential most places
conduct THOROUGH INVESTIGATION of unnecessary
offices and officeholders
Such investigation however be conducted hv M
itical hacks to be effective
It must be conducted by IMPARTIAL EXPERTS
In making their surveys they must be independent of po
cal influence control.
Without such independence, better no survey
And after impartial survey made is value
less unless ACTED ON
We cite example the Wckersham prohibition survey
which definitely showed that the members believed the
eenth Amendment unworkable.
But what did Mr. Hoover do about it?
You tell
AS far reform prohibition evil during his admins
traton concerned the Wckersham investigation
plished nothing
A scientific study of useless offices is necessary
Such surveys should be expedited.
Until they made local governments cannot be
lied on modern lines.
But in those communities the complete investigation
will be wasted IF IT REMAINS ON PAPER.
Results alone will count.
The people report their local governments but
they don't want to be blow in the air like the report
Of Wckersham commission.

Three-Minute Journeys
BY Temple Manning

A fine Roman aqueduct runs
through this part.
Aries is perhaps the pride Of
the provence, not only because
of the city itself, but because
of the beauty of it's women.
The Arlesienne is really lovely,
for once all the raves of art
lists and poets and other con-
noisSeurs of feminine beauty
are justified.
Aries, once an imperial city.
is rich with Roman remains,
including the Arena, the Theater,
the Forum, the Court of Law,
the palace of Constantine and
the Obelisk. Typical Of the
middle ages are several fine
churches and lovely old palaces.
In the Palais of Laval is the
Arletan museum, compre-
hensive survey of Aries. Close
to the city are the gigantic
ruins of the Abbey of Mont
majour, the Arch and the
MauSoleum of Saint Remy.
Going east Of Aries towards
the coast we come to Martigues,
the Venice of Provence, guard
ing the entrance from the sea
and gazing proudly towards
Marseilles, the premier port Of
France.
There is much to see and to
do at MarseilleS. One strolls in
the shady alleys of the Prado,
one gazes out at the panorama
of Marseilles and the Medi-
terranean from the terrace Of
Notre Dame de la Carde, which
stands high on the hill of the
same name. Far out at sea,
sailors sight the church and
know that they will soon be
home. Out of the city there
are lots of excursions. includ-
ing Les Calanques. the fjords
of France, the ancient forest
Of Sainte Baume. one Of the
oldest pilgrimages in Europe.
