citizens Of the get-rich-off-somebody-
else mania"
The Rhode Island Grange. its mem
bership including thousands Of rural
residents of the State. called at a
recent meeting for repeal Of the bet
ting law on the grounds that "pari-
mutuel betting at Narragansett Park,
Pawtucket, Is undermining the char
acter of the people Of this State. seri-
ously impairing the business Of the
State and encouraging the trend TO-
ward getting something for nothing"
Claim Business Suffers.
Charges that business in Providence,
except in the hotel, restaurant and
liquor lines, has been hit by race bet
ting have been made by members of
the City Council. business men and
by Prof. c. E. Ekstrom, Brown Uni
versity economist, after a special
study of retail trade figures since the
Rhode Island track opened.
At the Chamber Of Commerce, Of
f1cials pointed out first that the organ
ization has taken no definite stand on
the racing issue, but continue to voice
their conviction that the effect has
been injurious to most lines Of busi-
ness.
"Our members are hesitant about
making any public condemnation of
the existence Of q track here" one
trade organization official said. "bc-
cause they feel they might lose sup
port of some Of their track minded
customers. But they are almost unani-
nous in admitting privately that bill
payments are slower and many lines
have fallen of as a result of betting
opportunities so conveniently at hand"
Almost daily. the courts in the
neighborhood of the track are faced
with touts, pickpockets, confidence
men and others who have come in
with the horses" and who probably
succeed in their forms of lawlessness
more times than they are appre-
hended..
Police Check on Strangers.
Police in Providence have been
forced to make close check on stran-
gers arriving during race meetings
and periodic drives against sidewalk
bookies. In Pawtucket, where the
track actually Is located, confidence
and dim-flam games became 50 prev
alent that the chief Of police finally
issued a list Of 10 "don'ts" to citizens
in warning of the practices Of these
track followers.
Banks have issued orders against
their employees frequenting the track
while several large business enter
prises have issued similar edicts. In
some cases, dismissals have resulted.
At least one suicide resulting direct
ly from track losses has occurred dur
ing the last year when Fred Ceccarini.
46. of Boston, deliberately electrocuted
himself after he had lost $3.50 in a
single afternoon of betting.

NEW CODE URGED
FOR LOCAL FIRMS
Revision of D. C. Building
and Loan Laws Asked
by 0'Connor.

Controller Of the Currency J. r. T.
O'Connor today proposed to Congress
"a thoroughgoing revision Of the code
of building and loan associations" in
the District Of Columbia.
In his annual report, the controller
made this definite proposal without
further explanation, except to point
out he had made the same suggestion
to Congress last year.
1t was one of only two recommended
tions for new legislation. The other
proposed that the costs Of examining
credit unions be assessed against them.
In the midst Of a lengthy report on
the condition of the national bank
system generally, O'Connor's new sug-
gestions for legislation were unusually
brief.
I'm view Of the very satisfactory
condition of the banks Of the Nation
and the constructive legislation which
has been passed during the past few
years." he said, mo recommendations
are made for additional bank legisla-
ton of a general character.
with respect to financial institu-
tions within the District Of Columbia,
which are under the supervision OF
this Office, two recommendations to
the Seventy-fourth Congress are re-
newed, one for a thoroughgoing revision
revision Of the code for building and
loan associations, the other for assess
ing against each credit union the costs
Of examining it."
The controller made a factual report
on the building and loan associations
in the District, as Of June 30, 1886,
on credit unions in this city. and on
all banks and trust companies here.
The building and loan associations,
which numbered % at that time, had
grown steadily in total assets until
on June 80, 1886, he said, total assets
amounted to $112,6o2, 900, and ex-
ceeded by $11,125 900 the assets Of
these associations on June 80 year
before.
The loans, which aggregated $102,-
IT'S, 900, showed an increase in the
year of SIC, 1853 900. 1nstallment pay
ments on shares increased also from
500. TIC, 900 to 99.6s8.000.
Twenty-three Of the associations
operated on the permanent plan, four
on the serial plan and one on both
the permanent and serial plans. The
total membership was 1859, as
compared to 11S,117 members q year
ago, and of the total in the current
year the numbers borrowing and nom
borrowing were 2e,328 and 104,35l,
respectively.
The controller reported that 25
credit unions had been. recommended
by his Office for approval, and had
been licensed by the District Com
missioners since June %, 1882.

Disappearing the industry, also, are

as they uncover specific instances of
poverty induced by playing the

Although the clergy frequently labor
under the stigma Of being reform
lists" in the popular conception Of
the black garbed figure of prohibition
days, church leaders of Rhode Island
are displaying courage and integrity
in a vigorous fight to oust the horse
racing industry from that part Of
New England.
Bishop Assails Gambling.
Among the keynoters is Right Rev.
James DeWof Perry, presiding bishop
Of the Episcopal Church In America
and a resident of Rhode Island.
I'VE have seen the citizenship of a
State victimized by organized gam
bling on a colossal SCALE" Bishop
Perry charges, land on official author
ity for profits taken from people
upon shameless pretexts.
THE sanction of it, invited and
secured by public vote, distorts and
finally corrupts the moral sense"
He IS joined by Canon Anthony r.
Parshley, president of the r. I.
Union Ministers Association, who
terms the racing industry "a cancer on
the body polite"
Citing an instance Of q stevedore
being called into court for beating his
wife, and making the explanation that
the wife lost his entire weeks wages
at Narragansett Park, Canon Parsh-
ley adds:
These things are enough to show
the extent OF the gambling hysteria
which has swept the State. 1t is part
of the business of the tracks to create
such hysteria.
Charges Gangsters on Hand.
Distortion of moral sense is accom-
plished by the incursion Of popula-
ton of most extraordinary persons,
touts, Illicit bookmakers and gangsters.
The presence Of the last group is evi-
denced by the consuming fright Of
many people who are literally scared
into speechlessness for fear Of their
lives If they tell what they know about
the fixing of races, doping Of horses,
bribing Of jockeys, ETC."
One more spokesman Of the church,
Rev. James v. Claypool, former presi-
dent of the State ministers organiza-
ton, declares:
Gambling at Narragansett Park Is
a vested interest. 1t is a monopoly
granted and ostensibly controlled by
the General Assembly. No one is sur
prised that special and selfish inter-
est in politics is maintained by those
who profit by the track. Their inter-
est is not sporting interest, but the
hard-boiled interest of an industry
with large financial investment which
bleeds the populace. builds no wealth
whatever and takes its profits out Of
the misery Of the weak, unfortunate

CAPITALIZING MAN POWER

How much is the average person worth to the com- munity?
 Not in what he contributes in point of community effort but in cold dollars and cens-what he contrib to business to taxes and toward the transforma tion of materials into something desired and nec essary to the standards of humanity.
 All economic laws teach us that an idle people is not only unproductve people, but drain upon those who have been more fortunate.
 Hence, to get down to rock bottom must have everyone employed in productive pursuit if to have progress.
 Just suppose busness-Whch is the greatest ben efcary of industry-cast about and made survey of its surrounding community ascertain who and who not gainfully employed, or at least earning his keep Then proceed to find the reason and, like any other business problem, take the step to that everyone sef-supportng. Once this survey is com peted it is then up to business to capitalize this ergy for its fullest value.
 To make money, it is necessary to gather where money is. Otherwise, in pioneer country, it is necessary to assemble the manpower and put it to creating that which a concentrated and popu- lous center needs
 Alaska faces of two alternatives: either bus- must take leadership and the responsib- ity of keeping manpower earning, business must languish for want of spending power. Mere national adjuncts like aviation bases and army posts will not bring more than tthe to the business It is the steady consistent production of dollars by every one which creates permanent prosperity.
 Just suppose business men took time out to make survey o1 opportunities TOT creaton or small industries such opening lode and placer mines, of which there are many only needing grubstake and little capi- tai for materials later?
 If Bill Blank is idle, yet is known to be worker when opportunity offers, why should he be taken in hand and set to useful activity? If he is dli- gent prospector put grubstake behind him. If he IS good te-maker, set him to cutting timber.
 It required hundreds of millions of dollars to pion- ger the automobile and aviation industry It did not come from one man or small group. It was accumu- lated from everybody by far-sighted leaders
 Many man is forced to mark time and unable to get into his stride for the want of little assistance at the start He is good investment for business because it is from the steady contribution of his dollars for the satisacons the business has to sell that business thrVes.-SeWard Gateway.

Xmas Greetings Salmon Industry
 Arrived Nome

Merry Christmas" advertise ment of the Canned Salmon h. dustry appears in today's issue of the Nome Daily Nugget.
 Due to the maritime strike on the Pacific Coast, which has so seriously affected Alaska, and which has caused the mail ser vice to be almost entirely disrupt ed, some mail taking a month and half to reach Nome, the ad cut was not received in Nome until late Saturday, Jan. 2nd.
 It is being inserted however, at this time, because it is devot- ed to wishing Alaskans every where the Merriest of Xmases, and congratulations for the part they took in putting over Alas ka's Number Industry during the past year.
 The Canned Salmon industry itself, is now feeling the serious effects of the strike, and Alask- ans are apprehensive of the de- trimental effect which this com mercial stoppage may cause on next years pack. However, at
 this time the Canned Salmon Industry wishes all of it's friends a Merry Xmas, in this part of Alaska, even if it is a couple of weeks late.

VOU ALASKA men and women
 have helped this year to pack one of the record salmon runs. You have played a vital part in uphold ing the high standard of quality in these millions of cases of salmon.
 The good job which Canned Salmon advertising has done this year would not have been possible without your cooperation. The quail ity of the pack had to be as good as the advertising told American housewives 1t was.
 The Industry thanks you. It looks forward to increasing pros perity in the Territory. Because US. housewives are buying more salmon.
 And the greater sales of Canned Salmon in the States will be re- hected by better times here :. larger incomes .. more money for Alaska families to spend. That should mean merrier Christmases for everybody in the Territory in the future.
