it was up to industry TO decide

Mr.. Roosevelt said preliminary re-

lived up to-but that in all indus
tries there were chiSelers. He de-
fined the survey as aiming to pro-
vide a basis for future discussions
of conditions such as child labor

time to provide an argument for
retention of the gains such as COL

Hopping Up the Town.
(Ketchika.i onronic,e. )


 A drinking party ended a few days ago in the death of one man. AS direct result enforcement officers have set out to try bringing about saner drinking.
 Surely conditions in Ketchikan have not been exemplary. There has been too much drunkenness. Respectable women have complained that they can not walk on downtown streets even in daytime without meeting too drunk to walk without hearing profane and abusive language from the lips of men drunk enough for jail Such condition should not last.
 A prominent official said the other day that he expected just such excesses have in Ket- chikan. The chaotic condition he said was inevit- able with repeal But he said that public opinion back up the officers in their efforts to correct the condition He said that when the respectable people themselves find the excesses too much for endurance, then and then only the officers do their duty.
 It is not a question of prohibition We all know that during the long years when liquor was illegal still had drunks our streets. The question is purely of excess. It is undoubtedly true that dealers have been so greedy that they will sell anything from beer to furniture polish to drunk who is willing to pay. Such dealers should be dealt with strictly. If the punishment is severe enough, the practice will cease. Furthermore, enforcement officers should be less lenient with the drunks themselves They should be kept off the streets and if all else fails they should be put in jail
 No question of freedom is involved. is free to do as he likes only insofar he does not molest his neighbors When downtown streets are crowded with persons too drunk to walk, when obscene and profane language echoes on our streets then surely the public is willing to back the officers in any campaign to mop up
 The offenders are relatively few. The majority of liquor and beer dealers in Kechikan are prudent. It is unfortunate that the practices of few should besnirch the reputations of the class, but that is all the reason for purge It is to the interests of the dealers themselves Similarly, half otio an o1r downtown streets to give impression that half the town is a night out. Just the same, the fact that offenders are in the minority does not excuse their actions.
 For the sake of the great body of respectable people in Ketchkan for the sake of community pride, and for the sake of visitors who otherwise will leave with a sorry impression of Ketchikan, we should expect a thorough hopping up, and the enforcement officers should expect the full backing of the community.

AVIATION SHOWS THE WAY.

The other day two passengers were picked up in an airplane at Ketchkan, flown to Juneau where they were transferred to the Fairbanks plane and from that city winged to Nome in some 24 hours, including an overnight stop at Fairbanks. Yesterday two men arrived in Juneau by air from Nome 2s hours commenting that it took them seventeen days to make the distance from Fair banks to Nome by river steamer but by plane they clipped it off in four hours.
 If mining and other industrial development in the Territory just keep abreast of aviation Alaska will have arrived, and Statehood will not be far distant.

A MOVE TO KILL THE TAX BILL.

The first definite action to kill the Presidents tax bill has made itself evident in the national capital in the action of the Senate Finance Com mittee That body has announced it proposes to lower the tax boom on small incomes, and its feeble reason is that it will raise few million more for the public treasury.
 Undoubtedly back of the idea is the scheme to kill the Roosevelt tax program, at least for this session, for it goes way beyond anything the Chief Executive has suggested and is almost in direct contrast with the House plan which itself an extension of the Roosevelt proposal The House idea to raise the tax rate on all incomes of s5OO00 and Now the Senate committee trots out the proposal to levy on incomes of single men getting which of course, is intended to the entire country to rise against the tax measure as it is bound to do
 No sensible person would consider seriously the placing of a direct tax on an income of $500 a year when it is a known fact that the person getting such income is paying taxes in several other different ways all are. Everybody pays a tax in form and to attempt to make a direct levy incomes low as $8OO which is a bare existence at best is little short of ridiculous if to maintain a semblance of what is known as the American standard of living Of course, the Senate group is only playing horse so far as the small income taxpayer is concerned but at the same time it is taking vicious jab at President Roose- welt and either trying to eliminate the measure tc collect taxes from those able to pay or attempting to make a political swap fer something else il wants

 The Constitution apparently being the c. o. P. war cry, it is possible that the ex- Presidents statement may that he is about to enter the arena again and perhaps MT Hoover would make good a candidate as the befuddled Re- publican Party can offer. But for real aptness Representative Knutson, Minnesota Republican offers good suggestion when he says: Hoover can render no greater service to the country than to announce he is not candidate

TUESDAY, AUGUST 1s, 1885


 Through the busiest hours of this day adverse aspects are dis cerned, ac riding to astrology. There may be sense of depression and foreboding that should be thrown off by wise men and wom- en.
 There is sign read as encourag- ing deceit and misrepresentation Secret machinations may be set sto work in thwarting business or gov ernmental policies.
 Under this sway men and wom- en may take opposing points of view with complete sincerity. Bit ter enmities may develop in the coming months and they will ex- tend to domestic circles, the seers predict.
 Women may be especially diffi- cult to deal with under this rule of the stars for they may persist in demanding political and com mercial positions that are desirable The planetary government favors girls who are industrious and who are willing to accept subordinate places in offices or shops, but at this time there is little promise of equality of pay
 Dissensions and dissatisfaction are forecast for workers; they will meet with many obstacles to am- bition in the autumn, although there will be employment for many persons.
 The evening of this day may bring news of conflicts of opinion among foreign nations. Rumania China and Japan are subject to threatening aspects.
 Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of a year of vex- tations that may be trivial, tempta- tion to speculate and inclination to indulge too much in pleasure.
 Children born on this day may be endowed with a keen sense of humor, vigorous bodies and in- tense natures. Many subjects of this sign are extremely intellectual.
 Lucy Stone, famous feminist and reformer, was born on this day 1913. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Martha J. R, N. Lamb, historian, 1929; Felix Adler, author and scholar, 1851 Jeremy Taylor, bishop and 5heologi- cal writer, 1867.
