TRAILERS. BUT NOT TERRITORIES

People who live in traiers still citizens and have the rgiht to vote well the man who lives in the mansion the hill, U. s. Circuit Court of Appeals has decided test case was brought before the Court by trailerite who had been denied the right to register
 This decision is just. People should not be denied the franchise because of the type of dwelling in which they reside
 But Aaskans know that many citizens of the United States being denied the right to vote because they live where they do They the people of Uncle Sams Territories.
 They pay exactly the same Federal taxes residents of the States They are governed by the same Federal laws. The responsibility upon them to serve the Nation in peace war, is exactly what it is upon all other citizens of the United States But they not allowed to vote for their President They are not allowed even to vote for their Governor They must be satisfied with electing a Delegate to Congress who has no vote in that body and the members of a Territorial Legislature whose powers most of the things that matter, very small indeed.
 Perhaps there is some logic in denying the full right franchise to residents of United States Ter ritores, but if there is it has never been pointed out to In the days of westward expansion of the nation when frontier condition prevailed, when the Territories peoped by and women who six months behind in their news from the States and who cared little what happened in Wash ington there might have heen some logic in the practice of denying Territories the vote Today Alas kans are fully well informed, by press and radio, as the people of the rest of the Nation. They are entitled to elect their officials.
 Some day we hope Alaska will be a State We hope the day is not too far away But in the mean time let's demand the right to vote right for which in other days shed precious blood

Bank of New York reports that 29l leading m u S tri a corporations earned l0.8 percent profits in the first nine months of 1940 as com pared to 78 percent last year. The firms represent half the industrial wealth of the country, and profited $819,053, GOO for the first min c months. For the whole of 1889 it was $575,581 ,000. The British Government plans to spend $40, 100000 in the US. next year build ing small freighters to offset heavy losses from Axis subs, bombs and mines. The post-election edi- ton of the Townsend Weekly, or gan of the czar of the old-age pen- sion movement, was strange con- trast to the preceding issues. Town send vigorously boosted the Willkie- McNary ticket during the cam paign, but his latest edition is devoid of politics. This is the sec ond national election in which he has been on the losing side.

Only a Start
Cleveland Plain Dealer)

Cleveland Plain Dealer)
 Americans should bear in mind that the draw ing of the seectve service numbers marks only the beginning, not the end of adequate national defense Some persons may be inclined to think the job is done and that this nation has nothing more to worry about As matter of fact the task has not actually been started.
 Not until next month will the first few called by the lottery report for service. The complete quota will not be filled until next June and it will be year from then before all these men can be said to be properly trained
 On top of that there is lag in material of all varieties Adequate and full complements of mechanized equipment will not be ready for months much of it may not be ready by the time this first army is dsbanded to form the nucleus of reserve force that will grow from year to year.
 These facts should be kept in mind by all Amer jeans. The lay citizen should remember that vrtu- ally everything remains to be done. There should be no false sense of security. What everyone hopes is that the start has not been made too late.

Ickes told the reporters that had no free press in America The newspaper support for President Roosevelt in three elections rdiculously below the popular vote.
 paper in the country issued special edition with front-page editorial in big type. The editorials unanimously warned President Roosevelt not to per- init MT Ickes departure from the Cabinet The editorials went to say that the country could bear up under nearly any imaginable handicap, such as a doubling of the national debt of unemployment or the threat of an armed invasion but the loss of MT Ickes at Washington would be a catastrophe.
 Next morning Secretary Ickes called in the re- porters and said he glad to new desire on the part of the American press to live up to it's duty and our citizen woke up with start.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 but do not compe"
WEDNESDAY. NOVEMBER 27

WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 27
 Adverse planetary aspects rule today. Caution should be the guide, for there are many sinister por- tents Labor comes under a plane tary direction conducive to serious internal trouble in the unions.
 Heart and Home: Until late in the evening influences that are disturbing to human relations are active There may be rebellion against authority in the home as well as in organizations. Quarreis may be easily started in the do- mestic circle Parents may have many anxieties Accidents will ia- crease under this configuration, it is forecast Divorces will be precipi- tated, even though there will be less tolerance regarding h e in among social arbiters.
 Business Affairs: Inventors will simplify machinery including en- zines for automobiles and airplanes. The trend toward elimination of what is unnecessary will inspire marvellous ideas that contribute to human comfort. New corporations will promote labor saving gadgetS large and small Women will bene- fit through household conveniences even mere helpful than the many now in general use
 National Issues: Public health will arouse great concern in the coming winter. The most extreme sanitary precautions will be en- forced in cities where danger of, epidemies will be serious. Despite American success in athletics, the physical defects discovered in exEi animation of young men called for national defense will awaken the public to derelictions in diet and exercise. The automobile will be blamed for lack of interest in walk ing, but the modern tendency to seek ease in all forms will be largely at fault. E International Affairs: American diplomacy will prove effective in settling serious differences with for eign powers. The access of impof- tance for the United States will be recognized by dictators who will hesitate to encroach upon the Western Hemisphere. Japan will be used as a cats-paw by Nazi and i Soviet leaders, who covet colonial possessions in the Pacific, in a gesture of grave possibilities.
 Persons whose birthdate it is should be careful in important mat ters in the coming year, for there may be litigation that is unfortu- nate. Fairly good luck is forecast.
 Children born on this day will be talented, thoughtful and ambitious. Many of these natives under the sign of the Archer are sensitive, easily discouraged and pessimistic

TORTOISE AND HARE

Senator Sherman Minton, mar rowly defeated Indiana New Dealer brought back to Washington campaign story that is getting laughs both from Republicans and Democrats This is "Shay's" tale:
 A Democratic worker and a far mer were driving to town when they passed a turtle stunning him. self along the roadside. Remarked the farmer, That turtle reminds me of those WPA people you Dem ocrats foisted on Us taxpayers"
 A mile down the highway a rab- bit suddenly leaped out and in a couple of soaring jumps was out of sight. Observed the Democrat That rabbit reminds me of YOU farmers heading for town to col lect your government crop benefit checks"

scrap to Japan will be extended to include iron and steel of all kinds.
 At present no variety of scrap (there are 78 different categories) can be exported to Japan. B t finished and. semi-finished steels are not embargoed and the Japa- nese have been quietly going into this market. The cost, of course, is higher, but Japan needs metal urgently and apparently is willing to pay.
 Certain steel companies would like to get this juicy business and secretly were elated when the all- inclusive scrap ban was imposed. They saw it forcing the Japs to buy processed steel at a much higher price-with big profit to the sellers.
 But the Defense Commission, closely scanning steel capacity for our own mounting defense needs, wants no production sent to Ja- pan. In fact, the Commission has plans for an early expansion of US. steel making capacity. So 1t has advised Roosevelt to bar steel exports, and it's a good bet that he will do so
 NOTE - Defense Commissioner Leon Henderson submitted a mem orandum urging a total scrap ban as early as last May.

 Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen the Merry Go- Round authors, picked the winning candidate in 42 States

 Hurja and Henning gave the election to Wlkie There was complete agreement on 24 States GIT for FDR seven for WW) while all pickers wrong on three States Gllinois New Hampshire and Wis consin) Only Pearson and Allen gave Pennsylvania to Roosevelt.
 The Fortune Poll is not included because it did not venture State-by- State predictions. This poll was closest in forecasting the popular vote, coming and Allen however were closest in predicting the electoral vote, giving Roosevelt 363or 23 better than the President guessed himself.
 Fine testimony this to the accuracy and careful analysis of the Merry Co., Round.
