RaIlyin' Round the Ruins
Philadelphia Record)

It's too bad the U. S. A. is so completely "ruint, they might have had nicer party for the Republ cans at Capehart Farms Ind, the other day.
 If times hadn't been so hard, mebbe MT. Cape hart New York businessman who's been ruined by Roosevelt" might have had more than $3OOOO to throw his party with.
 That's why an aura of sadness hung over the affair
 This is not the first time the Republican party has been called upon to the country cried John D. Hamilton
 And there was applause, between mouthfuls, from tons of corn on the cob, 10000 steamed clans and several hundred bushels of tomatoes.
 If America hadn't been "runt' gosh, the boys might have had caviar
 DO you realize that without thrift are without hope?" shouted John D. M a little later
 The boys clapped their hands knowing what a sacrifice it for MT Capehart to come across with the $3OO00 for the rally
 Let's put America back to work" roared John D. M
 And the so cooks in the back tent dug in for second helpngs.
 We seem to be living in madhouse," insisted John D M
 Whereupon folks looked around the main Capehart tent and 25 little Capehart tents, while yodelers yodeed Indian chief sang songs, some body played the bazooka, somebody else strummed the guitar German band footed lustiy and 100- piece orchestra played sweet music to keep all the Republicans from forgetting they were 'rlint"
 Mebbe if the whole country wasn't "ruint" the boys could have had troupe of hula dancers
 Confound that guy, Roosevelt!

JUNEAU VOTES AGAIN NEXT
 TUESDAY

With the general election Of the way, taxpayers of Juneau will be called upon to return to the polls next Tuesday September 20 and give their verdict on the proposed bond issues for the city to finance public Improvements.
 The voters who will be those whose names appear on the tax roll will be asked to pass upon five propo- sitions
 s. The first is regarding and paving Wioughby Ave nue and around Twelfth Street to meet with the Cal ~houn Avenue paving To pay for the citys share of this work it is proposed to issue bonds in the amount of $65 800 the balance of the of the improvement or 45 percent comes through direct grant from the Public Works Administration.
 The second item is S5OOO for concrete sidewalks along willoughby, on South Seward and in other parts of the city. similar PWA arrangement IS available this improvement
 For No 3 proposition, the voters will find the proposal to issue bonds the amount of $19200 for sewers for which PWA funds also available aD The fourth proposal is an item of S300O for ob- tainng rght-of-way This particularly applies to ~ Willoughby Avenue as well as South Seward Street but may be used for obtaining rightof-way for street improvements anywhere in the city.
 The fifth proposition, and perhaps the most inn porant of the group asks bond issue of $484oO to .oonstruct terminal facilities at the small boat harbor. Request has been made for PWA assistance on this undertaking, but approval has been given as yet. PWA money is available for the first four propositions total of S170000 having been approved by the Public Works Administration for Juneau i'm provements the basis that the city put up 55 percent of the cost.
 M What the response will be to the request for PWA assistance the boat harbor facilities remains to be seen but regardless of whether not it is approved Juneau stands in the position of having to ahead with the terminal facilities which includes building floats streets to the harbor putting in lighting vsments, providing fire protection and It is on such agreement that the War Department finally @decded to go ahead with spending $232000 to build the harbor work which will start next month. Important the small boat harbor is, bringing y@yast amount of business to the city the other 4propositions include needed improvements in Juneau 1t is probable that the city will get such op

 The improvements the kind which will have be made at time as Juneau continues to grow. They needed In future years they would ,ost a great deal more and the city probably would to pay the full cost.
