Creating Jobs
New York Times)

New York Times)
 Among the falacieS that help to give California s s30-every- Thursday scheme it's appeal in certain quarters is the belief that jobs vacated by persons over 30 to make themselves eligible for the pension will provide equal number of jobs for younger persons now unemployed In the case of the Cali orna plan the idea statisticaly attractive In the 1930 census persons over 50 constituted q percent of the gainfully employed They also consti ,uted 2l percent of the unemployed in that year. Suppose approximately these percentages hold California. The pensions assuming they work as Xpected by their sponsors would take of fifth If the unemployed If the offer of pensions in addi ion, caused almost every over 50 to quit work to ct them, about many jobs would be vacated as here unemployed available to fill them
 It by no means follows, however, that all these acated jobs would be filled. They would be immediately filled in the of the self-employed- mall farmers, small storekeepers, etc.-for the mployed would not have the necessary capital to ake their place They would not be filled in the case f some older employees now retained partly for humanitarian reasons. They would not be directly filed in the case of those retired persons who had ome highly specialized skill or n unique ability in some line.
 But the chief reason why jobs equal in number those vacated would not be likely to be filled goes ieeper than any of these reasons. Many jobs would to exist because purchasing power would be destroyed It is clear in spite of the rhapsodcal logic # its sponsors, that purchasing power would be 'reated by the plan For those who paid the stamp axes on the warrants would lose much purchasing bower the pensioners would gain-and lose per ent in addition. This would be the result if the warrants really circulated and if every one continued work. But those who quit work to get the pension would cease to produce goods themselves Ultimately my kind of commodity is the purchasing power or other kinds Oranges, for example, come the market supply of oranges, but they also come on the market demand for moving picture admissions md automobiles. Automobiles not only come on the market supply of automobiles but as demand for arm products To reduce supply is to reduce demand y equivalent amount.
 The California pension plan would not reduce he total number of unemployed in California That unemployment will not be reduced unless its basic 'auses removed. If every other cause should be emoved. the pension plan would itself create unem- )loyment among those over 50 and through the loss )f their services would reduce the wealth produced md shared among the people of the state

 Miss Jorgenson
 Wednesday Eve

Complimenting Miss Gertrude Jorgenson, who is soon to become the bride of Joe Snow, Mrs. Min nie Hurley and Mrs. J. w. Leivers were co-hostesses with a linen show CT last evening at the Distin Ave- nue home of Mrs. Leivers.
 A clever centerpiece for the table was the four miniature dolls, one completely garbed in a Moose base ball suit, representing the groom to-be, another, gowned in the pro verbal wedding attire, represent ing Miss Jorgenson. The remaining two dolls were seated on tiny toad stools, each shooting an arrow at the prospective bridal pair. Tall lighted tapers offset the romantic scene.
 Two guessing games were played during the evening, with Mrs Will liam Norton winner of the first, The House That Joe and Ger trude Built" while Miss Ray Jor- genson guessed high for the second, The Romance of a Tree" The re- mainder of the evening was spent in sewing, with each guest embroi- dering her name on a block, which blocks will be used to complete a quilt.
 Guests present included Mrs. Joe A. Williams, Mrs William Norton, Mrs. Knute Hildre, Mrs Alfred Zen ger, Mrs. Fred Schmitz, Mrs. John Pegues, Mrs H. B.

THE NEED FOR SPEEDING UP
 DEFENSE

There probably is great deal of truth in the statement of Senator William H King of Utah that recent developments in Europe might make it neces- sary for the United States to spend hundreds of mil lions of dollars for military purposes. It not only might but it very likely will
 While it would appear that Senator King means to leave the impression that such expenditure would not be warranted unless conditions were what they abroad it not be overlooked that regard less of the recent emergency in Europe the very best way to maintain peace for America is to carry out program of adequate national defense.
 One of the best examples of it's inadequacy at the present time be found right here in Alaska Wtf coast line greater than that of continental United States, and an area onefifh the size of the States we have virtually defense True, steps are being taken to correct the condition
 But until great many millions of dollars whicf

Important Step for Northland Highway
Fairbanks News-Miner)

Announcement Thursday by Premier Mackenzie King of Canada that he will appoint a Canadian commission to cooperate with the American com mission in respect to the proposed International High gay to link up Alaska, Yukon British Columbia and he States will be hailed by all friends of the great project And this means thousands of Canadians and Americans
 Some doubt had existed as to the attitude of the Canadian government in the matter. The fact that he chief executive of the Dominion is willing to meet the Americans grounds means long step forward
 Premier T. D. Pattullo of British Columbia long has been ardent supporter of the highway project That he will continue to lend his best efforts is beyond doubt
 The recent good will expressions by the President of the United States and the Premier of Canada at the opening of the St. Lawrence bridge and similar utterances by other eminent leaders of the Dominion and the States doubtless created much more friendly attitude among all on both sides of the line and helped the way to appointment of the Canadian highway commission
 Mutual advantages as to development of territory national defense and building up of a great future tourist traffic to result from the opening of highway to serve this vast Northland Congratulations to the premier of the great nelghboring Dominion on his progressive step

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2, 1888
 Contending planetary influences are active today, according to as- trology. In the morning hours it is wiser to plan than to act.
 Changed opinions regarding in- dustrial conflicts are presaged with a rising tide of sympathy for busi- ness heads who suffer losses through labor difficulties.
 While workers organizations are to gain in strength they will bene- fit most through compromises and closer relations with employers, it it forecast.
 Accidents may be more general than usual while this configurat tion prevails.
 The evening is most suspicious for women and their social enter prises Girls will find dances and informal parties encouraging to TO- nance.
 There should be success in public entertainments tonight, Theaters, concerts and even political meetings are well directed by the stars.
 The day is favorable for the aims of those interested in improving agriculture Science will contribute amazing aids to overcoming ob stacles in soil or temperature.
 Persons whose birthday it is have the augury of year of difficult problems in business and domestic relations. Jealousies may cause trouble
 Children born on this day prob ably will be intense in their emo- tions and firm in their decisions. Subjects of this sign are courageous and adventurous.
 James Whitcomb Riley, American poet, was born on this day 1853. Others who have celebrated it as a birthday include Frederick Hale, statesman, 1874; Joseph Eugene Ransdell, one time U. s. Senator, 1858.

ENFORCING THE NEIGHBOUR LAW

Word comes from Washington that administration offices for the "Fair Labor Standards Act com monly known as the wage and hour law in the Ter ritory will be established at Juneau, but when they will be opened is still probematical. At the same time Administrator Elmer F Andrews announced that he probably will be unable to get all his enforce ment machinery into action by October "A when the law goes into effect and therefore actual enforcement may be delayed several months
 However it should be kept in mind that because machinery of administration is not set up by October 24 it will not necessarily invalidae the law The effective date of the Act is specifically fixed in the law 120 days after its passage and approval, and it was signed by the President on June 25 making it effective October 24
 The Administrator may not have sufficient time or funds to get his administrative setup ready this month but that does not invadate the act of Con gress Only Congress change the law and Con- gress isn't in session. Thus Administrator Andrews statement that the will not be enforced for several months merely that he will not be prepared to press for enforcement The law will be effective just the same and months afterward enforcement officer can come around and make inquiry why those effected did not abide by it. Incidentally the penalt for violation of any provision of the action is fine of not more than S1oOO0 or than six months in jail both.
 In view of the impression which prevails in some sources, due to the reference which is made to it the 40-hour week" law that 40 hours is the maximum work week provided in the act from the outset, it may well be reiterated that starting with it's effective date this month the law provides for 44-hour maxi mum week during the first year. Starting October 24 1889 that maximum is reduced to 42 hours and in October, 940 is when the 40hour provision actu- ally applies giving two full years to industry to get down to the 40-hour week.
 Of course Congress may change the act at any time but actually the law it becomes effective on October 24 is 44hour week statute for the next 12 months At the time. there is nothing to keep industry from adopting the 40-hour week from the start many planning doing
