At the present time, the govern
ment is planning a war against mo-
nopoly. Yet. as everyone knows, for
more than five years the govern
ment has definitely encouraged mo-
nopoly in various fields-and has
sometimes forced IL on the country
through legislation. Through the de-
struction OF farm crops and the
passage Of laws outlawing certain
low-cost retailing methods, 1t has,
to all intents and purposes, placed
an elevator under the price struc-
tnre. We are reaping the fruits OF
that policy today-and Its name is
depression.

Historic Old Customs House
 Is to Be Rebuilt
Famous Wrangell Structure Built 68 Years Ago to Be
 Altered by Treasury

Extensive alterations in the hiS- toric old Customs House at Wrangell is to be made and call for bids will be made shortly, it was announced today at the Customs headquarters nere. Several thousand dollars will be expended in undermining ana making more room in the structure.
 The old Customs House at Wran- gell dates back to 1867-l370 when the fort was established there. There were eight buildings in the original Army setup, erected at a cost of S26, GOO Later the buildings were sold by an Army officer named William King Lear for $500 but the deal did not go through because it was held that the officer acted without authority. The building which the Customs service uses was acquired in 1877 by the Treasury De- partment and has been in con- tinued use by the Customs since 1880. It is a log structure, boarded inside and out ,27 by 32 feet and in- cludes office and living quarters for the Deputy Collector at the port
 The new plans call for changing almost entirely the whole interior of the building both up and down stairs.
