would undoubtedly staudardize 10
a certain size most canneries. but it
IS my personal conviction that can
neries could be operated efficiently
and produce a quality product. rely
ing solely on seine caught salmon.
An objection now put forth for
an all seine production IS that the
fishermen might go on a strike al a
crucial period in the fishing season.
But il there were ne traps, the price
could easily be adjusted before the
canning season began and firmly
believe from personal experience
thai the fishermen's integrity is
such that the contract would not be
broken.
As it now stands, operators Who
catch a greater portion OF their fish
in traps can boost the price Of the
seine-eaught fish which they buy.
This tends to bring the price to a
level with which the so-ealled
"hand-captured" salmon cannery
cannot compete, Tor the trap caught
salmon cannery can easily balance
the cost OF its raw material pur-
chased from a few seiners with his
very loW-cost trap caught fish. II
there were no traps. this couldn't be
done, and the amount paid for the
fish purchased from the seiners
would represent a lair and equitable
price. Furthermore, the many sein-
ers would increase their catches, ana
the money used in the industry to
purchase raw salmon would be
spread out over a large group of res
idents Of the Territory.
In closing. I should like 10 re
iterate, that I firmly believe that
the abolition of traps viii improve
the lot OF the majority Of people
living in the Territory, and yet il
will n no way increase the cost Of
the final product TO the ultimate
consumer in the United States.

THE. WESTWARD MARCH
OF CIVILIZATION

There probably isn't an individual liv-
ing who at some time hasn't speculated
longingly on the changes to be seen if
person might live with unimpaired
faculties for two, three or five hundred
years. Some of the worlds best novels
have been woven about a similar theme
Until science makes far greater
strides or Mother Nature changes her
habits, the speculations must remain
idle ones. Meanwhile, however, it is not
amiss to consider that the children and
grandchildren of people now living will
see those changes, and take part in them
For those of us who live in the western
part of the United States the thought
has particular Importance
Ask almost anyone today where the
cultural, business and population CEN
ter of the United States is, and you will
be told 1t is on the eastern seaboard
1here might be some argument about
the cultural center-there is none about
the business and population center.
Will the children of today, or their
children, find that American life GEN.
ters in the east? 1t is not likely.
Between 1880 and 1888, recently COM
piled figures show, more than one mil
lion people were added to California's
population. AT this rate the population
of California alone will crowd the ten
million mark by 1850.
Business cannot help recognizing such
a trend. Culture has been far ahead of
it,
Perhaps at some distant date Los An
geles or San Francisco will equal or ex-
ceed New York in size and Importance.
Why not? Ever since the Pilgrims first
landed ON American shores the move
has been to the westward There has
never been a recession in the wave of
new citizens peopling the west And
even now, instead of retarding as the
years go by, the flow of new residents
to the west is increasing. New lands are
forever coming under cultivation. New
businesses are springing up.
Just last week the Southern Pacific
company, a gigantic firm, moved head
quarters from New York to San Fran
cisco. Others may follow suit.
The east faces Europe across the At
lantic, yes. But the west faces Asia
across the Pacific-and whatever else
you think of turmoil in the Orient, you
must admit that growth expansion and
improvement in every walk of life are
inevitable there, far more than in Eur
ope.
We cannot know in detail what things
will be like five centuries hence, butwe
can be sure of one thing. The western
part of the United States will be a CO.

Willis Thornton's Editorial on:
'BaIkanization Reversed by the States

its 1887 port-of ENTRY act when II
found that Texas, considering the
Oklahoma act unfriendly, was
about to enact one in retaliation.
OF course that is the way AZ
works. There is no end to these
determinations, once started. Both
states are wise--and free-in put
ing aside the barriers. ..
New Mexico repealed several such
laws including a five day license
fee imposed on out-ofstate sales
men. Florida kicked out high
inspection fee on imported eggs
Connecticut rejected bill which
would-think of it-have limited
the size of gasoline tanks on trucks
passing through the state, in an
effort to make truckers buy gaso-
line in Connecticut. California,
Connecticut, Florida Oregon. and
New Jersey turned down proposed
determinations against wines and
beers from outside the state.
California actually refused to reg
taliate against several states which
still discriminate against California
wines. Ohio turned down a bill
which would have forbidden pubMc
institutions to buy any coal mined
outside the state.
So it went, through score of
states and legislative sessions. The
good work of the Council of State
Governments in calling attention
to this peril, and in enlisting the
cooperation Of state governments
in the move to end it, cannot be
exaggerated:
But the greatest tribute should
go to those hundreds of state le-
gislators who placed the national
welfare ahead of the little pres
sure groups within their states.
which demanded the barriers. Thos@
legislators ought to be given fun
credit for true patriotism in halting
a movement which can only ham

when everything shows the need
for encouraging and expanding
them. -r

What a pleasure it is to be able
to write something in praise of
state legislature They deserve the
highest praise for having this year
reversed a highly dangerous trend
and definitely turned back a tide
which might well have engulfed
the United States and drowned one
OF the worlds last great free trade
areas.
The Council of State Governments
was host in April to a Chicago
conference on Interstate Trade
Barriers to point to the danger in
this legislative trend. The cam
paign has apparently borne fruit.
For the council is now able to re-
port that at least five states have
removed from their statute books
such determinations and barriers
and that a score of states have each
refused to enact from one to SIX
such proposals.
Outstanding was repeal by IN
diana of port-of -entry provisions o..
its liquor law. Missouri also got rid
of such an act. Oklahoma repealed

WHO IS THIS CHAP?

WPA Ordered Out. - Headline. And
just who is this fellow who possesses the
power to order" folks on the federal
payroll to quit? That he rates above the
President is evidenced by the alacrity
with which the "order" was obeyed and
which sent high government officials to
Chicago for conference to see what
can be done about it. Shades of Andrew
Jackson. Think of it. Open confession
of governmental incompetence! Some
one has usurped authority to tell folks
on relief to quit work and finds prompt
obedience
The boss should be uncovered and
brought into the open so the public can
get good look at him. After all, citizen
or alien, he might be the chap the country
needs in its confused business. It's quite
clear that he has more power than the
combined federal forces in charge of
relief.

WASHINGTON you like to
woiyy over the unaaccountable
vagaries of the stork, you should
drop in at the Department OF
Agriculture some time and have a
chat with DR.: Conrad Taeuber, ex-
pert of the Bureau OF Agricultural
Economics.
Dr.. Teauber has been keeping
tabs on the Stork for some years
now, and he finds that the bird
has been doing some odd things
to the vital statistics of the United
States.
For instance: The 627 counties
where the population is increasing
the fastest happen also to be the
627 counties which are the most
generally poverty stricken and
down at the heel the white
collar class would soon vanish en-
tirely if it didn't keep getting re-
cruits; its reproductive rate is the
lowest of any class in the popula-
ton all of Americas large
cities would SPEEDILY decline if
they didn't keep getting "immi-
grants" from the farm.
The bureau has figured out
complicated way of measuring po-
pulation growth rates. 1t has
found that if in any city, there
are as many as 440 children under
years of age per 1000 women
between the ages af 20 and A, the
city is just holding its own. If
it has fewer than that 440-per-
1000 total, its population is declin-
ing. If it has more, its population
is increasing.
Bearing that in mind, consider
these figures on American popula-
ton trends.
For urban areas in general, the
figures is 1884; for rural areas, 686.
For cities of more than 10000 in
habitants it is 342; for cities under
the 10000 mark it is 464. For
farms, it is 1852; for native born
whites in the country, as a whole,
it is SOB
A number of the richest and
most populous states are under
the 44O mark. These include New
York, Pennsylvania, New jersey
California, Oregon. Washington,
and all of the New England states
In five cities of better than
100000 population-Albany, Rich
mond, Seattle, Oakland, and San
FranciEco-the dtath rate went
above the birth rate in 1886;
the same was true of $50 towns of
less than 10000 population and of
LOG cities in the 10,000-l00, 900 po-
pulation group.
Yet the population of the coun-

was no. until he went into real es-
tate that he found himself.
His first big sale was made
when he was 34-for million
dollars.
At 81 he sold the Third Ave-
rue Ell for twenty-siX million
dollars.
Most OF his success has been
cue TO the throughness with which
he prepares himself before the
sale. I asked for an example. He
told me this incident:
He was asked to auction piece
OF property on Union Square, New
York. between Fourth avenue and
Broadway. He made an appraisal
of the property and decided that
with good luck, he could sell it at
auction for about 100000. He real
lied he would have to make tre-
mendous efforts to get it up to that
TheI. trouble developed. Rivals
started a campaign against this
property. They advertised that busi-
ness in New York was moving up
town and intimated that only a
fool would sink money in property
so poorly located. The argument
appeared convincing. New York had
swept on past Union Square.
Mr.. Day didn't agree. He had
been in business for thirty years
and knew a thing or two. But he
had to convince the possible buyers
who could understand in few
words. Some way that would be
convincing.
After studying it for some time
he decided to do it with figures
Two subway lines ran close to the
property, so he sent his men to
the subway with counting machines
to find how many people go on
and off at these two locations. Next
he sent them to the subway sta
tions in Times Sqnare, which is
generally regarded as the throb-
bing heart of New York. Then he
counted the people who got on and
off the subway stations at Times
Square during the business hours.
He counted the people who passed
a given point in Union Square;
and he proved that more people
frequented Union Square than
Times Square.
When the time came to auction
off the property he gave the GER
titled figures. The real estate men
blinked. The proof was simple; 1t
was convincing. No one could dis
pute it.
He sold the property for 81 400
600. half a million more than he
had hoped for.
One of the secrets of his success
is knowledge of his subject. Prep
aration! Preparation Preparation

try as whole continues to IN
crease. In fact, the birth rate went
up slightly in 1887 and 1888, and
the death rate went down. But
the births are taking place pre-
dominantly on the farms, and not
in the cities; prodominantly among
the poor and not among the we'll
off.
The farm population rose by
100000 last year. and now stands
at slightly better than 32000,000.
This is entirely due to the birth
rate; the ''back to- the farm"
movement ceased seven years ago,
and ever since the worst depres-
sion year, 1882, more people have
moved from farm to city each year
than from city to farm.
Eugenically. the fact that the
poorest counties have the high
est birth rate doesn't worry Dr.
Teauber much; the human stock
in those areas is plenty good
enough. The trouble, as he sees
is, is that it is precisely in those
areas where most children are
being born that the outlook for
children tends to be worst
Schools are few and poor eco

BAD TACTICS,
MR. FARMER
(OrOuilIe Mercuru.R .ReQister)

Apricot growers, in common with those
who produce other of our staple fruit
crops, are faced with ruinously low prices
offered by the Gamer for this years crop.
As result of this situation in one of the
apricot-growing districts farmers have
taken the law into their own hands and
are attempting by force and intimidation
to prevent the delivery of fruit to the
canneries by those growers who have de-
cided to accept the price offered.
When San Francisco labor union at
tempted to prevent delivery of farm pro-
duce to city markets by growers and
truckers who did not conform to union
demands, the farmers protested vigor
ously and had the support of large
majority of the people who demand that
the highways be kept open to all lawful
uses regardless of labor disputes
Now some of the farmers are attempt
ing to use the same tactics when matters
are not going to suit them and are using
unlawful means to accomplish their own
ends. Regardless of what the provoca-
ton may be and regardless of our SYM
pathy for the apricot growers in their
distress, the issue is the same and all
right thinking people will condemn this
outbreak of lawlessness just as they did
when a labor union was the offender
No group or faction has the right to in
terfere with the lawful use of our high
ways and were it tolerated in one in
stance, law and order would soon be in
the discard. The rights and liberties of
us all depend on the impartial enforce
ment of the law and democracy has no
graver menace than unrebuked lawless-
ness ON the part of her citizens.
And let the farmers themselves consi-
der how they are weakening their own
position by using the tactics they have
condemned. Next time unscrupulous la
Dor leaders will have a freer hand.

If RELIEF STRIKERS
GET BY WITH IT

Congressman can do favor for most
Americans by ignoring the demand for
relief clients who have quit their jobs in
protest against a new law requiring them
to work longer hours. These so-called
relief strikes represent form of vicious
racketeering which, if successful, makes
the average mans pocketbook its first
victim.
If, by some political subterfuge, con-
gress is forced to consider the demands
of the relief clients who are not content
with obtaining enough to live on from
the federal government, but want as much
as another man earns by honest private
labor, then it will be time for the people
themselves to intervene.
They can do so easily - by merely
writing or telegraphing their senators
and congressman: "Stand firm against
amendment of new relief act. Relief is
for those who need it, not for chiseers
who make career out of it"
