ANOTHER FULL BALL WEEK TO
 OPEN TONIGHT
Douglas and Elks' Mines to Tangle Both This Eve
 ming and Tuesday

AS long as the sun continues to shine there's nightly baseball game on tap for Gastineau Channel fans, until the five games still un- played from earlier in the season are caught up, League President William A. Holzheimer has an- nounced.
 According to the schedule, the first half of the split season is to be wound up with the playing of the Elks-M Moose tussle listed for Fri day of this week, but, even with two extra games sandwiched in this week, one tonight and one Thurs day evening, there will be three first half games left over to be caught up during the second phase of the season. With a hairline separating the two leading teams of the league, the Moose and Douglas. it is likely that those run over games will decide the first half winner. with the Elks now ap- bearing definitely out of the open ing half picture.
 Game Tonight
 Set for this evening, beginning at 6:30 o'clock at Firemen's Park, is a seven-inning makeup contest be- tween the Douglas and Elks teams If the Elks can improve a little on the performance they turned in against the Moose Sunday, just forget to pull their punches in the clinches, they will be mighty high hurdle for the Islanders to- night; and, if the Purples do not trip up the Douglas squad this eve ming, they get another opportunity tomorrow night, when a regularly scheduled meeting of the two hines is set.

in any proposal to divert game and
fish funds from the direct jurisdiction
of the department of conservation, I
feel that it is my duty to call your at
tention to this proposal so that ap-
propriate action may be taken.
"The division of game and fish has
been self-supporting, deriving no sup
port from the general revenue fund of
the state. In 1927 bill was enacted
giving the department of conservation
jurisdiction over game and fish rev.
enues, subject to the approval of the
state budget commissioner.
"SportSmen have consistently waged
fight to bring this manner of handling
game and fish finances. The passage
of this bill in its present form would
mean reversion to conditions which
existed prior to 1927"
The provision diverting game and
fish funds is found in Section Z, SUBJ
division B of Senate File 1876, which
states that "all income to the depart
ment of conservation or to any division
thereof, from fines, forfeitureS, licenses
fees, leases and sales or other income

committee held that this doub-
ling would bring in an adj
ditional $2,500,000. No one
has ever considered saving a
dollar or two by curtailing ex-

Some 1900 catalogues of mail
order houses were received
here last week and the books
certainly caused a stampede
for money orders. The mail
order concerns believe in
letting people know what they
have for sale and for how
much. Many of these sales
could be made by local mer-
chants at prices to compare
with catalogue prices if the
merchant would use legitimate
newspaper advertising and in
form the patrons of this fact.
The handsome, high-priced
book of the "cat" house does
the trick. A 25c ad will not
appeal to a patron looking to
buy a car or a house.

Long Range Program,

And, OF course, the most far
reaching and the most inclusive
problem of all is that of unemploy-
ment and the lack of economic
balance of which unemployment is
at once the result and the Symp-
tom. The immediate question of
adequate relief for the needy un-
employed who are capable of per
forming useful work. / shall dis
cusS with the Congress during the
coming months. The broader task
of preventing unemployment is a
matter of long-range evolutionary
policy. To that we must continue
to give our best thought and effort.
We cannot assume that immediate
industrial and commercial activity
which mitigates present preSSures
juStifieS the national government
at this time in placing the unem-
ployment problem in a filing cabi-
net of finished business.
Fluctuations in employment are
tied to all other waSteful fluctua-
tions in our mechanism of produc-
tion and distribution. One of these
wastes is speculation. In securi-
ties or commodities, the larger the
volume of speculation. the wider
become the upward and downward
swings and the more certain the
result that in the long run there
will be more losses than gains in
the underlying wealth of the COM
munity.
And, as is now we'll known to
all of us, the same net loss to so
ciety comes from reckless over
production and monOpoiStic under
production of natural and manu-
factured commodities.
Overproduction, underproduc-
ton and speculation are three
evil sisters who distill the troubles
Of unSound initiation and disas-
trouS deflation. 1t is to the in
tereSt of the nation to have Gov
ernment help private enterprises
to gain sound general price levels
and to protect those levels from
wide perilous fluctuations. We
know now that if early in 1881
Government had taken the steps
which we're taken two and three
years later, the depression would
never have reached the depths
of the beginning Of 1888.
