 Thanksgiving Day
 Proclamation AAA

In compliance with long es- tablished American custom and in commemoration of the circumstances that 1885 has witnessed practical recovery from a severe depression which has prevailed for six distressing d years, causing un- countable disasters and un- told hardships, I, John w. Troy, Governor of Alaska, by authority vested in me by the Territorial statutes, hereby proclaim Thursday, Novem- Der 28, as a day of Thanks giving to be observed as a holiday to be devoted to Thanksgiving to the Advise Creator for His wise and com passionate guidance through the years and His many bless ings to our people.
 We are entering a period of recovery and prosperity. The circumstances present a spec ial reason for Thanksgiving to the Supreme Authority, and for enjoyment.
 l urge the people to assem- ble on the day set forth at their usual places of worship and around home altars and

 Without the lamp there is no question but that the Es- kimo would be extinct. And yet, strange as it may seem, it was, in my opinion, not in- vented by them. It was ap- parently borrowed from a more advanced tribe in anoth CT land, during some of the migrations of the great Stone Age-Dr. Daniel s. Neuman, Anthropologist.

ages. Not the least of the latter is the $250,000 Bureau of Public Highway road sys- tenn connecting with Seward, and the great Chugach Ma tional Forest, a magnificent reserve where such great air plane base should be estab- liShed.
 Also, here in Seward, is the North Pacific ocean terminus of the Alaska Steamship Co.,, the coast terminal of the Alas ka Railroad, and the base headquarters plant of the Standard Oil Company. All these within 50 miles of the Moose Pass-Hope district !
 The Gateway challenges any section of the Territory to Surpass the magnificent area described as an ideal and practical location for the pro jected Alaska Army Airfield base.

AN UNSURPASSED
 LOCATION
Steward GateWay)

For months Anchorage, Fairbanks and the Alaska delegate have been swapping yarns and beseeching the war department to locate the pro- jected Army airfeld base near one of those towns.
 It's time for Seward to stick in it's oar
 It was pointed out months ago by this paper that the War Department, with it's highly trained technical staff, was well qualified to select and decide on an advan- tageous site.
 A few days ago the War De partment announced it was considering several locations for proposed flying fields and that the Army hopes to estab- fish a base in Alaska suffic- iently near to the coast that planes would be immediately available in cases of emerg- ency.
 So it is appropriate at this time for The Gateway to re spectfully call the Army's at-

hearthstones and give thanks that our great nation and be- loved Territory have escaped from the tolls of distressed business and industrial con- ditions and the consequent burdens that have borne down so heavily in the inn mediate past.
 l urge that people foregath CT in their homes and other available places with relativ- es and friends to feast and make merry, for the occasion is one for jubilation.
 In witness whereof l have hereunto set my name and the accustomed seal of the Territory of Alaska to be af- fixed this 21st day of Novem- Der, 1885.

 There is a very interesting legend of an old man who, al- though very rich, was much disliked by the villagers. For yeas he had chiseled on a lar ge piece of jade making it in- to a lamp. When it was com pleted he called the villagers together and bragged greatly about his new wealth.
 To demonstrate the great beauty of his lamp he filled it with seal oil and lighted it for the delectation and envy of his guests. When his guests had departed the rich man left his lamp burning and re- tired to his fur couch. But, while he slept, evil spirits from icebergs and hummocks who hated the Eskimo, enter ed the igloo, overloaded the jade and set fire to the house. The cabin and it's miserly owner were burned to a cin- der. Since that time, accord

PAYRoLLs DESTROYED BY TAX POLLS

The moment tax becomes excessive it limits
the activities and opportunities of every business
and individual 1t strikes a blow at purchasing
power and private employment 1t is barrier to
investment and industrial development
The perfect government would be government
which cost nothing--whic hdid not need to levy
taxes at ALL That Utopian ideal is unobtanable.
But we should confne government expense to the
cost of governing. We should make governmental
operations efficient and non-wasteful. We should
keep government out of business projects and con-
fine it to governmental functions outlined in the
constitution. When government goes into business
it not only spends tremendous sums of tax money
but inhicts great damage on the individuals and
industries with which it completes, while taxing
them to maintain that competition as well as to
keep government going.
The foregoing principles apply to all units OF
government federal state and local. Political pow
er stems directly from the people. If the people
demand economy and retrenhment they will get it
if they permit government extravaganza and
sanction government competition in the business
field they will have one to blame but themselves
for high toxes and lost opportunities for individual
enterprise.
The great need of the hour is for employment,
investment, industrial expansion Exorbitant taxa
ton is their bitter enemy drastic cut in the cost
of all government would be the greatest contribu-
ton to recovery for the simple reason that billions
now taken by the tax-gatherers would be spent by
individuals and industries for thousand purposes
which would create jobs, purchasing power and
new taxable wealth.-Forest City Courier.

WHAT ARE WE WORKING FOR?

What, after all, do the American people expect
or desire of Recovery? What are we thinking
about, primarily? What are we demanding of our
political and economic leaders?
Of course we want return of prosperity. We
want work for the unemployed. We want security
for the worker, for the aged and infirm. We want
some reasonable assurance that such catastrophe
shall not occur again. These are good things, and
we have right to work for them, to demand that
our leaders shall seek solution for our economic
problems.
But is this all we want? -.
Have we truly learned anything of the depres-
sion? Do we covet beauty rather than luxury? Do
we seek higher, better informed intelligence
Are our ideals any higher and purer than hereto
fore? Has adversely chastened our manhood and
womanhood, strengthened moral will?
A thoughtful liberal, who for years has been IN
protest against economic exploitation of the masses
and has at times leaned rather strongly toward the
red, or at least the deep pink, propaganda of So
ciasm remarked the other day that he was becom
ing convinced that the we'll being of society Is al
bottom thing of the spirit; that programs ano
policies are less important than the character ri
men and women.
He has learned his lesson. The solution OF hu
man problems depends in the last analysis or
whether we are bigger steader, wiser, deeper
hearted than before.-Minneapois, Mimi, journal

MOST OF PREDICTED
ADVANCES In FOOD
PRICES ARE OVER

Continued from page one)
ests complained that the average
family's food bill this year will be
$172 higher than in 1888, and
that buying power had not in
creased sufficiently to bear the
toll. A special department of COM
merce study showed that retail
food prices have risen more than
a third since President Roosevelt
took office.
Egg prices led the advance and
last month were 80 per cent high
r than in February, 1888. Meats
rose Al 1-2 per cent in the two
years.
To some extent, Bean said, con-
sumner complaints are justified. He
pointed out that whereas food
prices were 20 per cent below
those of 1880. purchasing power
was about 80 per cent less. So the
cost of food is 10 per cent more
than is quite fair to the wage
Garner.
As a result of mounting prices,
about one-fourth of the nations
retail expenses last year was for
food.
At least one comforting factor
about the situation, Bean said, is
that by paying higher prices for
food consumers are insuring them
selves against still higher prices in
the future. Increased income to
farmers stimulates production and
assures larger supplies hence
forth. The money which is paid i'll
higher retail prices goes back TO
the farmer and keeps him in pro-
duction, Bean pointed out.
Just how much the AAA is re-
sponsible for the food price boom
and how much the drought, Bean
has not estimated. He said he
would, however.
The drought, being the chief
agent of the record crop and live
stock reduction, was the chief
price booster. The contribution
made by the AAA programs was
comparatively small. For the in
creased prices of beef and hay,
the AAA is blameless. It is about
half responsible for current high
hog prices, it was estimated.
