Forest Work

BY a Times Reader.
In view of the fact that the young
men are firing Of the forest work,
why not give the old men trial?
There has been nothing said or done
about making jobs for them. 1t
seems as though they are for
gotten lot and no one cares how
they get by, if at all.
I am an old man and can't get
a look in on work. I did three years
in the regular army and believe I
could stand six months siege of
camp life better than some of the
young ones. The pay is not SO big,
but to have a dollar on two in my
pocket would feel big to me.
1t seems there are so many SAL
aried jobs connected with the NRA
that the man without a job or a dol
lar is forgotten. Must he be the
first to go down and the last to get
up? Plenty of spending will put the
depression on the run, but no man
can spend a dollar until he has it..
Why begin at the business end of
this? Put the men to work and the
business will take care of itself. I
hope the forest board reads this.

Why don't they get down to the

Instead of throwing and dump
ing the profits of industry into the
stock market or building half rented
skyscrapers filled with delinquent
tenants, why not pour the profits
back to the good workers and pro-
ducers and from then on only into
productive enterprises.
The word "overproduction" should
be considered obsolete anyway and
only mentioned in the. past tense.

Rev. F. S. Wicks, on his article in
your issue of Oct. 2 in connection
with the liquor industry.
I feel that he is perfectly correct
in his idea to keep the question out
Of the crooked political setup of
the Anti-Saloon League. 1t also
should be kept out of the hands of
the narrow minded grafters called
the Prohibition party, which is as
we all know from experience the
breeding farm for bootleggers and
gangSters.
Above all keep the liquor traffic
free from political control of any
kind. The liquor industry, is what
one might say new industry, just
starting up, it is starting clean and
as an industry has the thought in
mind of remaining clean, and does
not and will not favor any given
faction.
The idea of the elimination of
profit, however, will carry it into

ILLINOIS SALE
TAX HELD VOID
Supreme Court Decision
DepriveS State of
Big Revenue.

By United Press
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, May 1.-THE
Illinois court declared the recently
enacted 3 per cent sales tax uncon-
stitutional Wednesday and deprived
the state administration of $780,
100000 anticipated income.
The court ruled unanimously that
the sales tax was class legislation,
and lacked uniformity in its appli-
cation.
The Democratic administration
enacted the sales tax law in hopes
Of raising sufficient revenue by it
to finance unemployment relief, and
possibly to ease the burden of other
taxes.
Governor Henry Horner, whose
administration passed the bill, re-
fused to comment until after care

ing which was written by the entire
court rather than by any one JUS

MODERN JIG-sAW TRAGEDY

The golden sun was slowly setting
Ger the hilltops far away,
Filling all the land with beauty
At close of a winter day.
But within one humble dwelling
With its fireside warm and bright,
Came this oft repeated murmur:
This jig-saw must be done tonight.
Ger a table bent two figures,
Man and wife with visage pale;
He with thoughtful brow so worried,
She with form so thin and frail.
Both were thinking, planning,
scheming,
To make small pieces fit in right,
Ever saying in soft whispers:
This jig-saw must be done tonight.
On the street the children rambled,
Shoes and clothes all worn and tore
And the house was in disorder,
Everything strewn around the floor
But jig-saw bright and snowy
Was on the table in plain sight,
While the couple ever murmured:
This jig-saw must be done tonight.
Off to bed alone, unaided,
The children finally wend their
way,
Grimy hands and dirty faces
And their clothes in sad array.
And the old clock on the mantle
Ticks the time with all its might,
While this couple murmured family:
This jig-saw must be done tonight.
Twelve o'clock the moon looks calmly
Down upon this sleeping pair;
Clothing scattered everywhere.
Yet with heads dropped on the table,
Meath the light still burning bright
In their sleep we hear them mutter:
This jig-saw must be done tonight.

confused and wandered about until
exhausted when he lay down at the
foot of a tree.
Mr.. Noble was born at Carriboo,
Novia Scotia. and went west to Brit
ish Columbia when a young man.
Here he was Joined in 1895 by his
young cousin, John Grant, of Pic

SONNY'S SONG

(Contributed)
My father is a thrifty kind,
No time he finds for sport;
He works and toils-a daily grind
His household to support.
My mother with a faithful hand
Is fathers helping mate
We see her wash and cook and mend
On duty early; late.
How often on my fathers knee
My dreams were sweet and grand,
As in a mirror l could see
a4yself giant man.
How oft l leaned on mothers breast
The winter evening long.
While she exalted Jesus Christ
In sweetest voice of song.
She told me of his wondrous love
Who children did embrace,
Who told them: In my home above
For you I'll prepare place.
God bless my father, mother deari
Good things on them bestow.
Help me to be their stay and cheer

WHITE GOLD
By RICHARD SURATT

Prospecting for white gold, the
fossil ivory tusks of the hairy mann
moth, is still a lucrative calling in
parts of Alaska and Siberia. 1t is
estimated that select tusks from
more than 10000 mammoths have
reached the ivory markets of the
world since the Russian conquest of
Siberia, and the Eskimo hunters and
he white miners of Alaska have
added many more.
Well preserved tusks of the man.
moth, because of their finer texture
and peculiar "old ivory pallor, are
more valuable than elephant ivory.
They are less liable to fracture
while being carved into fine filigree
work by Chinese and Eskimo artists.
The perpetually frozen soil of the
Arctic coast is the favorite hunting
ground, particularly near the
mouths of rivers where floods and
landslides expose these prehistoric
monsters, sometimes with the hairy
hide still intact. Incredible as it
may seem, white miners, as we'll as
Eskimo hunters, have been known
to cook and eat this meat which ma
ture had so carefully preserved in
her refrigerator for thousands of
years.

A movement is on foot to have
the National Editorial Association
visit Alaska during the season of
1884. Here is an enterprise worthy
the support of every organization
and individual concerned with the
welfare of Alaska-whether located
within or without the Territory.
Residents of the Territory i'm par

to come here and see first hand
what Uncle Sam has in his attic"
Alaska is too little known to
America. A woeful nisapprehension
exists in the minds of the majority
of Americans as to the conditions
in this region. The men best quail
fled to bring home the facts to the
mass of Americans are members of
the Fourth Estate. AS writer's of
long training and experience in
purveying reliable news or reviews
on such a trip to gather first hand
information and to distribute it in
fields where they as writer's are
known and where what they have
to say will be accepted.
Once the writers are here and
view the charms and the emporium
titles of the region, and see what
wonderland and what vast asset
Uncle Sam has here, they cannot
but become enthusiastic boosters
for the Land of the Midnight Sun.
Now that Alaska is about to have
a chief executive chosen from the
ranks of the Fourth Estate, one
widely known outside of Alaska as
well as at home, not only an off
cial but a fraternal welcome can be
accorded members of the editorial
clan.
Nothing could be more fitting
than that the governor be the first
to join in inviting and welcoming
this notable body. Other members
of the fourth estate and citizens,
chambers of commerce and all other
bodies will do well to now set about
to see that the members of the Ma
tional Editorial Association receive
the most cordial invitation to visit
Alaska and that if and when they
