THE "B Minor Suite" is one of four
Bach compositions, written as
groups of short pieces based on popu-
lar dance rhythms of the early eight
eenth century These charming works
of which the B Minor is the best
known, are now considered important
music, because they are part of the
relatively small amount of music writ
ten for orchestra by the great master
They are also important because listen
ers, who have regarded Bach as dull
and uninteresting, find in his suites a
revelation. There is no more jolly
music written than the jig and the
other dances included in the "B Minor
Suite" The solo part in this suite
will be taken today by Harold Bennett,

terrible The very idea of taxing people like the Bacons the Lorimers and Newkirks, anyway
 So in her very best drawing room manner, Mrs. Newkirk calls on her wealthy friends thus: Let every conscientious objector to the AAA program and it's un-American, and apparently unconsti- tutional measures, plant potato patch. Let every potato patch bear sign in large letters to pro- claim the protest far and wide"
 Mrs Bacon responds by assuring Mrs. Newkirk she will plant potatoes on her front lawn in Washington so that Secretary of Agriculture Henry Wallace will be sure and see them"
 Mrs Lorimer chimes in with: T and my friends in Philadelphia going to give over our grounds to planting the protest potatoes"
 Of course, it will cost money to hire men to dig up the fine lawns and shrubbery surrounding their palatial places and more money to put them back in shape when the ladies cool off, but of course, the wealthy socialites who just can't afford it, would rather do that than contribute few cents in taxes to their Government as the result of a law which has benefited hundreds of thousands in the great American farming belt.
 Those oldsters who can harken back to 1916 will recall how the Republican Nominee Hughes loaded a special train with the MT. and Mrs. Ciotrocks of that time and rolled about the country telling the poor dumb people how to vote and they did for Wilson, the Democrat.
 So the Potato Protest Planters" their dollar sign pennant flying, carry on much to the amuse- ment of the entire country, and we suspect, especially convulsing to Secretary Wallace, who must drive right by Mrs. Bacon's potato blooming lawn

A Practical Program.
Cincinnati EnquirerD

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 The Committee for Economic Recovery, which includes 25 of the nations leading industrasts mas given to President Roosevelt comprehensive long range program for residential building. It involves the building of at least 750,0O0 homes year for the next 10 years the houses to cost rom Szooo to S6 OOO The scheme is designed to provide adequate housing for the 93 per cent of the population whose family incomes under $3,000 year, and par ticuarly for the vast group with incomes between $1 GOO and $2000
 The committees plan calls for the creation Of home building industry which it says does not exist It would have the Government take the leadership in fostering the industry and also in establishing the means of financing these homes so that buyers would need pay only five ten per cent in cash at the outset The program also requires elimina- tion of every nonessental item and provision Of credit at not more than Az per cent interest in cuding all charges
 The assumption of the committee is that private enterprise would provide the credit and do the build ing for all families with incomes of $1 900 more while the Government would undertake the entire provision of housing for families with incomes less than $1 O0O since private enterprise cannot build for such small income groups.
 The committees full report is extremely inter estng especially the comparison of British house. building with our own After allowing for the diff ference of total population, 1t is found that the United States is building only six per cent of the number of homes the British building. Our home building industry is perhaps the least eff cient of all our major industries, the committee emphasizes.
 There can be no doubt that this committee has found the place at which the greatest attack on depression ought to be focused After six years of stagnation in house building too many people in the richest country of the world-are living in habitations that unfit for human use. A yigor- ous attack on this problem and the planning oi such program as this committee enviSions would do more to restore employment than any other single idea which might be developed This committees work is constructive. Instead of complaining about public policies it is proposing a sound and adequate program for genuine recovery

CHRISTMAS BUSINESS ROOMS.

Christmas business is up 10 per cent over Decem- Der last year and 20 per cent 1883 survey of merchants throughout the country reveals accord ing to dispatches, and it is estimated by the dry goods association that volume of business during the Christmas month will reach the four billion dollar mark
 Here in Juneau and throughout Alaska reports indicate the same healthy economic situation. One local merchant said he had noticed steady increase in Christmas business over the last several years, and spirit of optimism premeates throughout. While there was a slow start evident here, it has accelerated notcably the last several days and with four shopping days remaining, coupled with the exploitation work being carried by the merchants, there is ample reason to believe that the Territory will show the same sort of substantial gains that are in evidence throughout the nation.
 The interpretation is clear Money is again in circulation and the people are rapidly achieving normal purchasing power result of the gen. eral recovery programs which have been in effect the last three years The great Middle West farm area, which was in virtually bankrupt condition during 193o and '31 as result of the 1929 crash and the failure of those in power at the time to apply remedial measures, has been rehabitated through the Agricultural Adjustment Act Industrial centers where the people suffered so ptifuly during the stagnation which covered manufacturing plants like shroud again revived and long idle plants humming, with orders constantly mounting and business moving farther and, farther up the scale People have money to spend
 Alaskans enjoying the profits of successful season in the mines, the fisheries and the woods. The gold cleanup, with the yellow metal at $35 an ounce, the best in years and the miners have money in their pockets. Locally, between 800 and 300 men receiving payehecks from Juneau's biggest industry, the Alaska Juneau gold mine. Merchants profiting thereby and the Christmas volume of trade steadily mounts upward
 No vail of despondency and fear in that report of Christmas business being up 10 per cent over a year ago. Indeed not. Rather. it reflects plainly the spirit of optimism and good cheer that abounds throughout the land; the true material Christmas spirit returning sound economic policy.

2G YEARS AGO
DECEMBER 19, 1915
From The Empire

Capt. Jim Plunkett's gasboat, the Lue, sailed back into Gastineau Channel during the afternoon, minus its owner, who is believed to have been murdered oy Edward Krause.
 The launch was handled by Dep uty United States Marshal Walter Kildahl and o. N. Mcdonald of Pe- tersburg. It is anchored at it's old berth near the Union Dock, from whence it departed early in Novem- Der on what was probably Krause's last cruise.
 The Lue left Petersburg Saturday night at 10:15 and after battling with heavy wind and sea across Taku Inlet reached Juneau at 2:30 o'clock.
 1 It will be remembered that the Plunkett letter to the local customs house, supposedly forged by Krause was mailed from Wrangell. T h e theory now advanced is that Krause, after writing the letter, gave it to some of his friends in Petersburg who were going to Wrangell to mail for him.
