NEED FOR LAND OFFICE IN JUNEAU

The large number of new homesites and home steads particularly the former which are being opened up in Southeast Alaska emphasizes more and more the need for the establishment of a land office in this Division and logically in Juneau where other Federal and Territorial business IS centered The only land office now is located at Anchorage All land business in the First Division must go 1lISt to the Anchorage office and thence retrack back through Southeast Alaska to Washington causing long delays and a vast amount of inconvenience.
 It is probable that more and at any rate as much business flows through the Anchorage land office from Southeast Alaska than from the rest of the Territory Particularly is this true in connection with homesites which are found in large numbers near every one of the towns of this Division There is ample business here to warrant the establishment of an office in Juneau to serve these communities where the bulk of the population is located.
 This is not suggested with the thought that the Anchorage office should be moved to Juneau. It should not be- The simple fact is that there should be an additional land office established here for the convenience of the people of Southeast Alaska The Anchorage office should remain where it is to serve the residents of the Westward and Interior.
 Next week two representatives of the General Land Office in Washington will be in Alaska. They are Joel E. Wolfson assistant to Commissioner Fred w Johnson and T. c. Havell, technical adviser Their itinerary calls for visit to Anchorage Fair banks and other points in the Interior well as Southeast Alaska on their return. We trust that these officials will give some consideration to adjust ing the land office business that all the Territory will be better served

Costs of Isolation
Cleveland Plain Dealer)


 From the beginning of formal economic study the world has heard good deal of the principle of comparative advantage which after all is only a technical name the simple fact that the division of labor increases production and raises living standards This principle is offered in support of the argument for free trade which holds that if the division of labor proceeds on an international scale and the people of each nation able to specialize in the production of goods they make cheaply and we'll and are then able to exchange their products freely all will receive for their effort than if some of the energies of each nation are employed dsadvantageously
 The text books are fully of mathematical flustra- tions of the gains that may be derived from the division of labor international scale. Adam Smiths argument in the Wealth of Nations for freedom from restraints importations is a simple statement of the principle of comparative advantage
 Taking cognizance of the fact that classical ar guments for greater freedom in trade have not in recent years affected favoraby the commercial policies of leading nations Francis Sayre, assistant secre tary of state, at the Midwest Institute of Inter- national Relations at Naperville, III, this week offered the evidence of the high cost of national self sufficency in a form which cannot fail to be con- vincng
 He pointed out that Germany is producing about 20 percent of her rubber synthetically at a cost of 4712 cents a pound against world price of 16 cents that synthetic gasoline, of which Germany is increas- ing her production sells for 60 cents gallon in Berlin as against an average price in the United States of 20 cents.
 This list can be greatly extended, but few illus trations sufficient to demonstrate that high syn thehc costs reducing the effectiveness of Ger manys production and are of course major factor in her unfortunate economic position.
 The Department of State with seventeen recpro- cal trade treaties in operation and pending, is leading the way in program of liberalism in commer cia relations which more and more of the nations will follow sooner or later unless by chance the world decided that by legerdemain of chemistry and government control it make two and two equal than four.

WIDENING STREETS FOR THE FUTURE

One of the best pieces of civic improvements and they seem to be sprouting up on every hand in Juneau this summer-is the job the ety has done at the entrance to town at Twelfth Street City crews have filled in and widened the road in front of the Juneau Dairies giving a better vision of the route for motorists coming and going, and when they have completed the evelng off of the at the north end it is going to prove real benefit for drivers of this community.
 Widening of the approach to the city is an ceent example and which Juneau do we'll to bear in mind it continues to STOW and the n- creasing traffic emphasizes the narrowness of our streets It isn't too early to plan now for acquiring additional fooage for street and sidewalk purposes many of streets old buildings torn down and ones rise during the coming years. Right now the Council has under consideration the pro- posal for widening and improving South Seward Street to Willoughby from Front Such improve ment would be a fine thing for Juneau but in con- siderng street widths it strikes that the Council would do well to plan for the future and it that it gets ample fooage on both sides of the street that 10, Is and 20 years from the thoroughfare

Can We Beat an Enemy With Red Tape?
Philadelphia Record)

Commander Charles E. Rosendahl, the nations foremost expert lighter-than-a craft and com manding officer at Lakehurst has been ordered to sea duty
 It is navy rule that matter how expert a may be a given specialized task, he must alternate two years of duty with two years of shore duty And a navy rule is rule which usually admits of no exceptions
 Last time the navy shifted Rosendahl to sea duty was in 1882 He had been in command of the Akron, was obviously the man best fitted to handle that great drigible But he was sent to sea anyway Five members of the House Naval Affairs Committee urged that RoSendahl remain the Akron suggested giving him promotion without the requirement. of sea duty. But the sWivel-char admirals fought that proposal and the majority of the House Committee tagged along.
 Rosendahl went to sea. And shortly afterward the Akron, "A lives and S5500000 also plunged into the Atlantic Ocean.
 The Nazis may do crazy things. But can't imagine even them sending Dr. Hugo Eckener their dirigble expert, to duty simply because of some ridiculous rule.
 Fortunately Uncle Sam today has no drigibles left to sink and by the time his one is finished Rosendahl may be back on land. Let's hope anyway. For while we have scant confidence in drigibles we have a lot in the ability of Commander Rosendahl
 All of which leads us to speculate on what our navy may be like if breaks.
 Will find that all our aviation experts are on ships, and the battleship experts at Lakehurst? Will submarine experts be running planes the gunnery experts operating radios, and the radio experts firing guns?
 We may, of course be sure of one thing The swve-chair admirals will be in their swivel chairs

 We cant escape the fact that the time will come when many of our downtown streets will have to be widened if traffic is to have easy flow Now IS the time to plan for that future condition by acquiring, every time opportunity shows itself additional space for spreading out our streets. It's a slow process that takes years but every growing town is faced with the problem at some time and Juneau is no exception.

SATURDAY, JULY 23, 1888
 Advtse planetary aspects appear to dominate today, according to as trology. It is date for rest and re- creation, but accidents may be more numerous than usual.
 Although the stars appear to presage good luck for those who exercise power over human deS- tiny, evil portents affect industry. The signs indicate smoldering diff faculties for labor.
 Agriculturists will present per- plexities to state and government officials. Mother Nature will upset many scientific systems affecting crops
 Women are subject to an ill omen that touches romantic love. Broken engagements as well as divorces may be expected under this rule of the stars
 Fairs and expositions will appeal strongly in coming months. There will be general desire for partici patton in whatever draws together large numbers of persons.
 By the sign encouraging crowds it is to be expected that interest in military and naval maneuvers will draw young men into the service of their country.
 This is not lucky rule for wo- men. Many will seek public office, but few will be chosen at the au- tumn elections. The seers prophecy success through clubs and other organizations that exclude men.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of year of fair suc- cess, but many annoyances are in- dicated Vanity may retard pro- gress in business or professional channels.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be talented in unusual lines. Subjects of this sign of Leo have many friends, but they are usually targets of envy.

STATE

Tonight at II o'clock the doors of the Warner Bros. State theater will swing open to thousands of New Years Eve theatergoers who have been eagerly awaiting this theater's annual New Years Eve midnight show celebration.
 As the first part of this gala cele- bration the management will pre- sent Warner Bros. great aviation epic of the last war "The Dawn Patrol" starring Errol Flynn with an all-male cast composed of Basil Rathbone, Donald Niven, Donald Crisp, Melville Cooper and many other veterans of the screen.
 This stirring tale of heroism and tragedy will give holiday audiences 8 thrill they will remember for months to come.
 Specifically, it is the story of one squadron of the British Royal Fly ing Corps during several fateful months of 1915 - the story of an endless stream of gallant but un- trained youngsters who reported blithely to squadron headquarters and then sallied forth unfiinchingly to almost certain doom; and it is the story of the soul-searing torture suffered by the few older and ade- quately trained members of the squadron as they were forced to wit ness and even abet this awful Sacri- flee of the flower of Britain's youth
 While Flynn is the star, this pie t,lre is by no means a one-man show as is indicated by the names associated with him in the giant cast. Basil Rathbone is no novice when it comes to adventureSome roles as it was he as Sir Guy ot Gisbourne who turned in such a stellar performance in Robin Hood". The growing popularity oi Niven has placed him in great de- mand at Hollywood studios, and the fact that he has played in several pictures with a wartime locale makes him the perfect third for this trio who harrasS the enemy at every turn with their devil-may-care fy- ing.
 And for your further enjoyment the management presents the Jit- terbug swing session Swing, Sis ter, Swing" with Ken Murray Johnny Downs, Kathryn Kane and Ted Weems and his famous orches- tra playing the featured roles.
 Make a date to attend the new show opening Wednesday at the State. Bing Crosby and Akin Tamiroff in Paris Honeymoon" will be the headliner while the second hit will be Little Tough Guys in So- ciety" starring the Little Tough Guy," Mischa Aure, Mary Roland and Charlie Ruggles.

Morning and Afternoon Sessions Necessary Due

cluding interest on bonds which accrued in the present year, $266,- 000), and Jan. l, 1889, bond ma turtles of $60,000, to a total of $567,O17, will be paid immediately after the first of the year out of the surplus resource sinking fund. The sinking fund, starting with a cash balance of possibly $75 1000. Jan. 1, will be utilized for enlarged func- tions, with $823,OO0 in funds in- volved, and is expected to have about a $100,000 surplus at the end of 1899, which can be used for bond interest and retirementS to the ad- vantage of the tax rate.
 3. Although about a 39-mill tax rate was indicated, and certain fac- tionS originally advocated the high rate for political material, the board of finance by its use of the sinking funds and general economy program the retaining of the salary cuts for at least the the first part of 1889, established a 35-mill rate, four mills over the previous years. Based on analysis of the city's general f1nan- cial outlook, so far as it could be determined, Grihenhagen & Asso- ciates and the board of finance ex- pect that the 1940 rate can be re- duced at least one mill by following the schedules set up for the current year.
 Bond Payments
 In connection the budget of 1889 the finance board and Griffenhagen 6 Associates have maintained that the unusually heavy bond payments, more than one million dollars, due next year, are the principal reasons for the tax rate increase. Numerous economies are provided in the bud- get, so far as expenditures of var ious city boards are concerned and the finance commissioners have made early pronouncement that all requests for sums in addition to those provided by the budget will be subjected to study throughout the year.
 The city's financial position today is far better than the most optim- istic persons could anticipate Sev- eral months ago and one reason for this is the tax collection program which was inaugurated by the f. nance boards order to Tax Collector William A. Ennis. The tax collector finds today that collections are about SIS, ,000 behind the amount re- ceived last year at this time, but the rate, in terms of conditions and other cities. is comparatively high.
