FIRE PREVENTION WEEK

Suggestion few days ago that "an ounce of pre- Ivention worth pound of cure also applied to the prevention of fires in Nome, elicted comment from sev- eral sources.
 An interview with Chief of the Fire Department w. w. Laws revealed that there numerous places throughout the city where fire hazards exist in the way of defective stove pipes, ues etc. In many cases he said he has referred this type of hazard to the occupant of homes and other buildings, and in the majority of cases it has been rectifed However, he declared such inspection has by been entirely thorough but that the faults have resulted from merely cursory ob Servation.
 His belief coincidng with ours, leads to the sug- gestion that the city government undertake special Fire Prevention Week, with inspectors calling from house to house. to look over heating systems thereby bringing light if there be any, dangerous conditions which or later would result in fire alarm being turned in.
 We have had several practical lessons in the dam age which is caused by re and the danger adjacent property when blaze does break out Let's not wait until is no longer possible to stop re before dscov ering that fire hazards exist.
 Cold weather of necessity stoves to be turn ed up hgh and heat to be generated Under fore ed draft fires sometimes get going too strong and then is when defective pipes and ues most apt to burn through and the building catch fire.
 Now is the time to repair those pipes and ues be- fore the extreme cold weather sets n Bringing to light defective heating apparatus is not only great service to the of the property but is also furnishing n surance and assurance to tdjacent property
 It the duty of the city government to enforce fire ordinances and be the lookout for dangerous cond- tions at all times Regardless if only several hazards discovered and corrected the good derived and the saving of much money and property is we'll worth the expense.
 Why wait? Don't close the barn door after the horse has been stolen-that not fulfilling the duties incumbent persons appointed and elected to posi- tons in which they to work for the betterment of the city.
 The same argument also holds true of the individ- ual he knows that he has minor fire hazard in his building, why wait until the fire has broken out? His duty likewise, both fairness to himself and his neigh bors, is to correct it now.
 How about little action on this subject?

PHlLADELHPlA Oct. 27, -
 Summoning taxpayers to defeat President Roosevelt for reelection Republican nominee Landon told a Pennsylvania throng that "the little fellow must pay for the New Deal waste and extravagan ce, which violates the constitu- tion."
 Shouting to an audience of fiji teen thousand people, in the con vention hall here, which over flowed into the streets outside, Landon said Let Us then, here in Philadelphia where the crater of liberty was born. make a high resolve-let us take the oath that that bell which rang 16Q years ago, shall not have rung in vain."
 A burst of cheers and a waving of thousands of American flags swept the hall.
 Landon said We must decide if we want free popular govern ment, or government which concentrates on increasing the power of the chief executive.
 "EXtravagance of administra- tion is extravaganza with the peo ple's money. It is not the we'll to do who are going to pay the piper. They haven't that much money. The little fellow is the one who pays. When I take off, ce as President I shall put an end to the Use of relief funds for political purposes"

Fish Commissioner
 Bell Tells Salmon Fishing of Japanese
(By The Associated Press)

SEATTLE, Oct. 27, Fisheries Commissioner Frank Bell said to day tha t Japanese fishermen, working from sampans off of six big floating canneries, caught much salmon, outside the three mile limit, off Bristol Bay, during the past summer, and that their unregulated operations threaten the extinction of the Alaska and Canadian salmon fisheries.
 Canadian authorities recently made similar complaints to Bell.
 The first detailed account of the operations of Japanese cannery ships said the largest was up to l5,000 tons, and carried a crew of six hundred They took the salmon in the open sea, although, obstensibly they were fishing for crabs.
 The rich Bristol Bay fishing area is so large at the mouth, that under international law, it is not under United States jurisdiction beyond the three mile limit.
 Bell said "Nobody knows how much salmon fishing the Japan csc did, but they had an oppor- tunity of studying the channels down which the salmon run. Al so some of the mother ships kept a lookout on their masts, making it easy to determine the sections where the run was toward the coast.
 If Japanese fishing reaches the proportions it could, all regula- tions and restrictions which the United States has imposed would go for naught, although, under the present rigid control, the sal mon industry is described as ten million dollars business, and could continue indefinitely"
