The Chamber of Commerce is giving its endorse ment to the projects which special bond issue election will be held next Tuesday made this state ment
 Tt is extremely unlikely the city will again
 be offered grants by the Federal Government
 in any amount: that the Improvements are
 very much needed; that the City Government
 has definite obligation to take of the
 citys growing needs that such improvements
 very definitely stimulate its citizens to better
 and more permanent constructions that the
 proposed street surfacing will, by the Mayors
 estimate, save the city maintenance cost Of
 s7,5Oo per year while the interest on the whole
 new proposed bonded indebtedness will be but
 S56T6 per year; that the improvements uti-
 mately have to be made and at almost double
 the present cost that the proposed issue with
 the cty's present bonded indebtedness will
 be but S337 900 which is about 5l2 percent of
 its assessed valuation. safe portion according
 to a recent statement by Bradstreet and Dunn
 on the subject of municipal bonded ndebt-
 edness"
 The presentation is a sound one But there are two of the points which may well be further stressed The City Government has a definite obligation to take of the city's growing needs The City gov ernment means the people of Juneau primarily its taxpayers Juneau is growing by leaps and bounds. It has taken most of us about year to realize it. We have become definitely impressed with the fact by the amount of building in the city this summer. Few can deny now that Juneau is going ahead.
 The point is going to keep up with that natural growth? Are we going to to it that essaTy pubic improvements are made to foster and serve private enterprise?
 That is what the Chamber when it says "the City Government has a definite obligation to take of the citys growing needs The taxpayers of Juneau hardly afford not to keep abreast of private initiative and natural growth of the com munity
 % The other point the taxpaying voter should not overlook is that when all the bond approved next Tuesday the citys total bonded debt will be only S3379 900 little than half of the ten percent of it's assessed valuation against which it can legally issue bonds.
 The saving in maintenance alone will more than take of the interest the bonds and the amount of new property which will be added to the payroll will go long ways toward retiring the bonds
 Where you find better business proposition in view of the fact that the Federal Government is paying 45 percent of the entire cost?
 That 45 percent, it must be remembered is an outright grant The city is required to pay no part of it back to the government.

 As intelligent Americans realize most of the at predicaed upon ignorance and prejudice But since the name of Teachers College seems unfortunately to connote Red in the minds of some persons it is timely to hear what it's head Dean William F. Russell has to say about the best method of fight ing Communism
 The dean speaker at the recent convention of the New York Department of the American Legion He faced audience which, in majority. was probably hostle-if not to him at least to the Teachers College label with which it tagged him. But the dean apparently made ten-strke
 Dr. Russell is himself war veteran He was in Vladivostok in 1918. As he expresses 1t: When I talk about Communism I know what am saving I have had lot of experience with this menace. I know where it is most likely to appear and think know the best way to fight it."
 That best way" says Dean Russell, is not by Red scares and purges Teachers oaths and the firing of liberal and outspoken professors never stopped Communism and never will How shall we beat Com munsm? Here is the Russell prescription:
 Relieve poverty and distress Stand up for the rights of meeting and assembly and freedom of speech particularly when you do not agree Support the schools and foster in every way the study of history government and social life"
 Here is no new doctrine. But it's truth stems to the roots of democracy It be too often stated And particularly timely in these days of propaganda and counter propaganda. when Communism is 50 cften used as handy red herring to cover devious trails, is this warning of Dean Russell:
 You cannot fight an idea by banishing it. You cannot kill idea by shooting it."

oA OINDh v OEI 's A|CS
 According to astrology this should be a favorable sway for business and professional activities. It is more fortunate for merchants than for their employees.
 Under this configuration cam paigns of political candidates may become bitter. Evil reports may be widely prevalent and personal en- mites unusually stressed.
 Women are subject to depressing influences under this rule of the stars. There may be a consciousness of power that is not applied in prac- tical affairs.
 Girls should use this date for extending friendships with young men, but they may be unlucky in sentimental affairs. The wise will devote attention to serious ambi- tions along wage-earning lines.
 The evening hours may be dis appointing to hostesses old and young. The stars seem to presage lack of enthusiasm among guests.
 The seers predict again the vic- tory of General Franco in Spain, but there may be several months of continued conflict.
 In the United States the wisdom of recognizing a changing system of social and economic relations is emphasized by astrologerS. Labor is to experience obstacles in union campaigning, but there will be for tunate adjustments.
 Another of natures grave visita- tions may be expected this month in Japan when violent winds will cause damage Tn all parts of the world autumn will be marked by extraordinarily severe storms.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a year of fair finan- cial success, but personal relations with friends may be unfortunate Romance should be avoided
 Children born on this day prob ably will be extremely gifted. Sub jects of this sign of Virgo usually have artistic talents.
 Robert William Vonnoh, artist, was born on this day 1858 Others who have celebrated it as birth day include Benjamin Abbott, edu- cator, 1762; J. Peter Lesley, geolo- gist, 1819

HOW THE LEGISLATURE WILL
 APPEAR IN JANUARY

With returns still very meager from the Second Division, it may be trfe early to give list of the Legislature which convenes in January, but on the face of fairly complete returns from the other Dvis- ions it is safe to state that the Senate and House with possibly two exceptions will be made up entirely of Democrats The exceptions may be LeRoy Sullivan Republican of Nome formerly associated With Judge James Wickersham here in law practice and Sam Taggart, Second Division COP House candidate Sullivan has slight lead over George Laiblin who represented the Second Division in the House here in the last Legislature and the outcome will be in doubt until other precincts of the Second have reported Taggart is ill tie with Wallace Porter Democrat for third place on the House ticket
 With tllese exceptions it appears to be clear Democratic sweep and the lineup for the various Divisions probably will look about like this:
 First Division In the Senate-Norman R, Walker of Ketchikan Democratic holdoyer, and Henry Roden of Juneau, who apparently has definitely defeated Howard D. Stabler of Juneau his Republican opponent
 In the House-J. P. Anderson and James V Davis of Juneau who have reelection; John McCor- mick of Juneau who led the legislative ticket, and A. P Walker of Craig who is apparently being re- turned to the Legislature after having been absent in the last session He served previously in 1855 All Democrats.
 Second Division
 In the Senate-O D. Cochran of Nome Demo- cratic hoGover, with LeRoy Sullivan, Republi- can, or George Laiblin Democrat. As previously stated, Sullivan is now in the lead.
 In the House-Howard Lyng and Garnet Martin, Democrats, apparently are sure of returning They served in the 1885 session Race for the other two House seats is between Taggart Republican Porter, Democrat and w. J Dowd Democrat. Third Division

r--mation Of a dude ranches di-
vision of MOntanans. Inc, was the
principal accomplishment of a
meeting Of Montana dude ranch
ers held at BOzeman, Manager w.
G. Ferguson Of the state chamber
reported.
This does not mean that the dude
ranchers OF Montana will Withdraw
from membership In the national as
ISOLATION, Mr. Ferguson explained, but
that. by building up a strong state or
ganization, they hope to strengthen
the national group and show the value
of cooperation.
About 30 Montana dude ranchers at
tended the meeting.
The primary purpose Of the session
was to formulate publicity program
that will advertise Montana every
where as a dude ranch state. This
program will include. Mr.. Ferguson
said. representation at travel shows
at Chicago, Detroit. Philadelphia and
Cleveland: the issuing of piece Of
general dude ranch publicity matter
to be used at these shows at the 1889
San Francisco exposition. and by con-
tact men travelling for the Pacific
Tourist association, and other advan
tageouS activities.
The general state fish and game
program was discussed, as we'll as other
matters Of interest to dude ranchers.
Besides Mr.. Ferguson. those in attend
ance from the Helena area were Mrs.
Ralph Allen of Augusta and Ed Bowers
of the 7-Up ranch at Lincoln.
"The average business man doesn't
realize the value of the dude ranch
business to Montana" Mr.. Ferguson
said. mo actual figures have been
publiciZed but conservative estimates
are that it brings 100000 annually
into the state. This income, however,
is only one end of the game. Between
so and so large ranches in Montana
have been sold in the past to eastern
dudes who, through mentioning at a
dude ranch. decided to invest their
money in Montana"
Mr.. Ferguson added that, contrary to
general impression, a dude ranch va
cation is about the cheapest and GER
tainly the most healthful and enjoy
able that one can take.
Dude ranch vacations today seem
to be in the same position that golf
was 20 years ago." he explained. Then
golf was popularity supposed to be a
rich mans game. Dude ranch vaca-
tions may have been in that category
years ago, but they are not now. They
are among the cheapest Of real out
ings"
Mr.. Ferguson said that the move
ment which eliminated at Bozeman
in organization of a dude ranches di- |
vision of MontananS had been under !
way for the last four years
