CRAMER ADVOCATES KEEPING
 UP APPEARANCE OF TOWN
By Al Cramer)

Wrangell has become the leading Metropolitan town in Southeastern Alaska so we were informed by peo- pie on both north and south bound boats Tuesday evening. People going south said that we were far ahead of other way ports.
 They said it sure was a pleasure to see how every business house in town had put on a fine display. They admired our street lights and big Christmas tree in the middle of the street, and the light plant at the head of the bay which is illum- mated in all festive co1ors.
 People coming from the south say one would think he was in Los An geles or San Jose where everyone is out enjoying the wonderful holiday displays as there the climate is so mild. We informed them that Wran- gell was the Garden City of South eastern Alaska.
 Now, fellow citizens, as the trav- cling public has taken notice, let us keep Up the good work. When spring comes let us keep our win dow displays up. Also a few potted plants in bloom will help to make a very attractive display.

ANCHORAGE CLAMPS LID
 ALL GAMBLING DEVICES

ANCHORAGE, Alaska The lid has been clamped on all lotteries, punch boards, card games and all gambling devices in this city.
 District attorney J. w. Kehoe and Marshal c. J. Todd issued the order, setting precedent. Oldtimers say it is the first time card games have ever been forbidden here.
 Deputy Marshal Joe Bell spent two days keeping up with orders to notify merchants and others to re- move gambling paraphernalia of all sorts from their establishments.
 The drive was started in response to flood of complaints that family money was going into gambling while larders at home went empty.

CONCERNING BIG ESTATES

Harry Payne Whitney, New York
banker Of Standard Oil affiliations,
sportsman and race horse lover, died
in October, 1880. He left an estate
whose net value was stated a few
days ago to be So, ,25O,Ooo. The fur
ther interesting fact was mentioned
that this estate had increased in value
$4,245,ooo since Whitney's death, or
a gain averaging more than 100000
a year straight through the heart Of
the depression.
The fact that dead millionaire's s
millions grow at such a pace is a pretty
complete answer to the claim that
great wealth is the reward Of great
personal qualities. Great wealth, nine
teen times out Of twenty, is the fruit
Of privilege; and the Whitney privil-
eges We're so potent that they went on

"Ship strike" says a newspaper
headline, ties up all ships of the
Dollar Lines" Without passing on
the virtues of the ship strike in other
directions, anyone who knows any
thing about the record Of the Dollar
family and its allied and associated
interests will chuckle at any of their
minor misfortunes.
For those who do not know or have
forgotten, here are some items culled
from Senator Hugo L. Blacks investi-
cation of air and ocean mail sub
sides:
On October 2, 1922, the Dollar in
terests organized company with a
cash capital of $500, and notes to the
amount of $499,500 given to pay for
the stock. One month later, this $500
company got contract to manage"
a government line, the Admiral Ori-
entail Mail Line; and kept this contract
for three years and five months.
During this period" says Senator
Blacks report, this $500 company
realized net profits from its operation
of government owned vessels on this
route the sum of $533, ,713.96. !. Dur
ing this period, the notes given for
capital stock were retired by dividends
from earnings"
R Stanley Dollar, head of the house,
for the 10 years from 1923 to 1882,
inclusive, drew salary of S71, ,948 a
year. He claimed and received com
mission from buying government
owned ships for his company of 1892
500 in 1924; and claimed and received
in 1925, 1891 ,250. Here is "swindle
sheet" which R. Stanley Dollar sub
mitted for one month expenses

French Farmers Strike
In Higher Price Fight

Paris, France. The French capi-
taPs supply Of fresh vegetables was
seriously affected when an agricul-
tural strike, called by tn militant
Peasants Front, became effective with
the threat that it would become gen
eral unless the farmers get an i'm
mediate hearing. Too great differ
ence between prices paid to farmers
by wholesalers and prices charged to
retailers was given as the chief com
plant, although the farmers also de-
manded stricter quota control of all
foreign fruits and vegetables.

WHAT NEXT?

Concrete houses cast as a single
block (monolithic), developed after
research by the Portland Cement As
sociation, are expected by the asso-
citation to increase the use of cement.
Forms are set up with electrical con
duit plumbing, air-conditioning and
heating pipes and ducts in place. A
wide range of finish is possible, and
the cost is reduced, hackers of this
method say. Incidentally, it tends to
take the jobs Of building trades work
men, fact apparently ignored by
the cement industry.

Cherry
T Where with our
roo Little Hatchet
we tell the truth
about many things, sometimes pro-
f0undly, sometimes fippantly,
sometimes recklessIy. ..

The chariots of the future are
rumbling toward US. 1887 is here and
it has year full of tricks up it's sleeve
and in its store houses.
Maybe some of the chariots will be
war chariots. Maybe some of them
will be calamities of peace time.
Here and there will be one loaded
with good luck and good cheer.
But you can bet your last bean it will
be year of action. 1t is just natur-
|ally bound to be an exciting year, full
to the brim of hell-for- leather doings.
It couldn't be a quiet year if it
wanted to.
The good old years seem to be gone
forever. Only maybe they only seem
good because we have forgotten the
tragedies they brought
The world we knew prior to 1914,
however, really HAS HAS gone and
nothing can ever make the world as
| 1t was III those days.
1914 began the crashing of guns.
In 1917 the United States marched
away to war.
And the world began to concentrate
its genius on building better death
traps-more and more guns and war
ships and gases and all the other
things that wipe people out Of exist
ence
| And now that the United States has
lcome back to a point of putting its
mind on how to make life better, the
rest of the world seems to be longing
to go crazy again.
1 And while we talk peace and try
to think peace, nobody believes us
| fully. There's doubt on every hand.
| In South America there has just
been so-called peace conference
American delegates have tried tc
make the show look as good as posi-.
bic, but really it wasn't much of a
success. Suspicion is what made il
so.
/ Of course if everybody else is de
termined to go into the suspecting
business, it will be difficult for US not
to do a little suspecting also.
| And, to be candid, we DO suspect
/ We suspect the ambitions of Hitler
and Mussolini. We suspect the integ.
rity of the soviets. We suspect Japan
And there you are. Everybody disbe
lieves everybody-or almost
We have shouted Happy New Year
and we shall not be surprised if there's
war somewhere tomorrow morning
1t all seems very crazy and it is.
If there is a balance wheel any
where it must come from labor Bu
labor is divided within its house
Busted balance wheels aren't mucf
good.
But, be all these things as they
may, labor in the United States Is
going forward and with a speed never
known before 1t can't help doing that
A year from now a great many thing:
will be different
Reactionaries stand with their
backs to the wall saying, Il won't,
but in the end they yield They al
ways have yielded in the end and
SO they will keep on doing
And when they have all done theil
yielding, then what is now liberal viii
become reactionary, quite probably.
Because there must always be those

heaping up the fortune after the per-
sonality had been entirely withdrawn.
There is another interesting side
to this story. The Harry Payne Whit
ney fortune had a net income of more
than 100000 year through the de-
preston. The Brookings Institution
reports that before the depression, in
the prosperous year Of 1929, nearly
100000 families in the United States
had gross incomes of less than $1,000
year each. The net income of those
100000 families was just about moth
ing at all. Add to these items the fur
ther fact that Harry Payne was by
no means the richest Of the Whitneys,
that one Of this family, Jayne Whit
ney, left net estate Of about $780,
100000, and you have a fair illustra-
tion Of the injustice of the present
distribution Of the national income.
Is the work Of the New Deal fin
ished? It's just begun.

Julius Boyd, of Pennsylvania, told
the American Historical Society the
marvellous work performed by WPA
workers in gathering archives of
Americas early history.
Workers in Arizona had to ride on
horseback thirty miles through the
Grand Canyon to survey the records
of the Supai Indian reservation. Off
the coast of Maine they went out in
boats in rough waters to the light
houses, and in a seaport town the
workers excavated in a dungeon-like
subcellar of a custom house, where
they had to get at the moldy records.
Almost 100000 linear feet of rec
ords have been listed" DR.. Boyd said,
enough to fill a single shelf stretch
ing all the way from Providence to
Washington and back"
The coal industry is commonly re-
puted to be sick industry. Perhaps
the following SEC report on the sal
airy list of the Consolidation Goa
Company may explain why: Robert

$35, 1000; Malcolm McAvity, vice pres
ident, $4,000; four officers not direc
