Urges Mass Protest

I beg space to enter a word
on the current issue of the peo-
pie VS.. the P. U. C.'s granting
the Capital Transit Company
permission to increase the token
fare to it's present rate of six
for so cents.
Quoting Mr.. Elgen: IT believe
the argument was used in the
hearings that the larger sale
would decrease the number Of
transactions and, therefore,
speed up traffic.
eff any of the riders do not
buy the six tokens they pay 10
cents straight and the company
gets a greater return"
Mr.. William NICK. Clayton:
"There are many people right
here in town who can manage
to buy three tokens at time,
but who can't afford to fork
over so cents.
so the poor man will, in
effect, lose the privilege of buy.
ing tokens.
'It is just the class of people
we have been trying to protect.
"And we're going to keep on
trying to protect them"
Mr.. Clayton is right. The sale
of six instead of three tokens at
a time does not speed traffic up
enough to offset the damage
done to the poor.
Mr.. Clayton is doing his
part. Citizens organizations are
doing their part. But we, the
people. are going to do what?
Can we not enter a mass protest
of some sort? Here is one sug-

forgotten or revised by the can
didates to suit themselves.
Reports coming out Of the
House agriculture hearing have
indicated all are in perfect &C.
cord on a farm program. Fact
is, they cannot even decide
which came first-the chicken
or the egg.
Actually, considerable time has
been spent in the secret sessions
trying to decide whether the
selling price of corn determines
the price of livestock.
After a recent session Chair
man Marvin Jones said to his
colleague, Dick Kleberg:
Lets go down to see a Wild
West movie"
There, among exploding pistol
shots, they found peace.
THE Duke of Windsor knew
l. more than was given out
about plans for his reception
here.
Madame Secretary Perkins,
for instance, suddenly developed
a previous engagement in Salt
Lake City for the day of the
dukes proposed arrival here.
The dukes advisers were not in
formed whether she was going to
such far-fetched picturesque
city for a lecture or a grain of
salt.
This little move coupled with
Mrs. Roosevelt's less pointed
valid engagement in the Middle
West, and Interior Secretary
Ickes brazen discourtesy gave
more of an official flavor to
what has happened than was
apparent at the time.

"Why?" asked the over
whelmed ME-.
Because it is an inspiration

fool in this district" replied
the 30. "They know that if you
can get elected they may too,

did not say why.
Everything at the Chicago
meeting of the national commit
tee was to have been peaceful.
An inside count showed IS votes
for the Hoover midterm conven-
ton plan when the leaders left
here.
Then, all of a sudden, as the
committeeman were about to sit
down, out burst letters of unex-
pected disapproval from Leader
Landon and Vice Leader Knox.
This pulled the chairs from un-
der IS signed, sealed and al
most delivered votes, and upset
the well-laid plan.
If you think this came about
through an earthfault, you are
too young to be reading politics.
Some equally well laid subter-
ranean piping obviously was
done, and, from this end Of the
hole, it looks like the pipeline
extended from the Washington
office of Senator Borah to the
Kansas home Of ALI Landon.
From evidence which cannot
be disclosed, 1t appears a
Borah-Landon working coalition
got together for the first time in
history to undermine the Hoover
pre-arrangement. other con-
greSsional authorities who are
now being accredited with the
victory, apparently were not
even aware of what happened.
It is unlikely that this COM
bination will continue. The CO.
operation apparently was nego-
tiated for this deal only. But If
it should be renewed it might
easily dominate the Republican
party.
THESE Republicans in Con-
l. gress think they know more
about politics than Mr.. Hoover
or the committeeman who met
at Chicago. At least they ap-
pear to have been more success
full. They are still on the public
pay roll
They are not going around
shouting about IL, but the real
reason they are opposed to the
midterm convention and even a
statement of party principles is
a purely practical one.
The Republican candidate for
Congress in Oregon next year
may not want to run on exactly
the same platform as a candi-
date in New York City. If you
try to write a declaration Of
principles for both, it will be as

Platonic friendship used to be

but, nowadays, when you offer
to be "just a good little pal" a

The first thing a bride should
learn, is how to listen with an
expression of rapt interest, when
her husband begins telling her
what a remarkable man she
married. After that, the sailing
is always smooth.

Norwegian Book
 Been Published By Arthur Eide

A copy of Arthur Eide's new book, Among the Wife Traders" :" was received by the author in Juneau recently, and the first shipment from Norway is expect ed shortly.
 The book, printed in Norwegian at Osla and bound both in paper and in boards, describes the liv- ing conditions and tribal customs of the residents of the Diomede Islands. Eide, well known Jun eau resident, is also the author of book of Eskimo folk-tales whi- ch is now in use in Alaska Ter ritorial schools.
 The descriptive advance notices of the new book have been trans lated as follows:

 Tt is as school teacher that Eide tells of the life and habits of these little-known people, after years of gathering material all over Alaska with the able cooper ation of Koodlalook, who died at Nome after only nine years of loving work among her people.
 "The Norwegian edition, which is off the press, has been edited by the well-known author, Axel Kregh. Among the Wife Trad ers,' is a very interesting book telling of people living far away from civilization. With it's many original pictures, it is indeed a strange story. It is printed in Oslo, Norway"
