interested in the sale of mining shares and publishes no in
formation relative to local min ing development that is not be
lieved to be in full accord with fact.
Pride And Martyrdom
Consider the turkey fatten
ing for Thanksgiving’s dinner.
How he swells and puffs him
self and struts in impressive
dignity—inflated with pride in
his breadth and depth of chest
and large hip measurements.
At least we suppose those
things must be the cause of
that seemingly inordinate
pride which appears to ooze
from every feather. And the
tragedy of it is that those very
things constitute his death
warrant. The gifts of which he
is so proud doom him to the
oven.
Some may see in the gobbler’s
vanity a striking illustration of
the proverbial pride which
goeth before a fall. Hut, re
member, gentle reader, that
last good turkey dinner, and
admit to yourself that a well
fattened turkey has something
to be proud of. Nor is his fall,
enroute to the table, to be set
down as in anyway a penalty
of pride. In his fall he serves
mankind passing well and in
his death he becomes a true
benefactor of the hungry.
His pride in life is not unbe
coming and in his death he is
a martyr to a glorious cause.

The Mounting Cost
Of Government j
In 1913 the annual cost of
government was $3,000,000. In
1928, it had increased to $12,
600,000, a gain of more than
300 per cent in fifteen years.
During the same period the
gain in population was 24 per
cent and the gain in national
income was only 160 per cent,
according to a recent state
ment by Orvil W. Adams,
vice-president of the Utah
State National Bank, of Salt
Lake. „
“Not only has future income
been heavily mortgaged,” Mr.
Adama said, “but the process
is continuing and current in
come is already taxed to the
breaking point.
‘‘The total public debt of the
country is $28,000,000,000, or
$285 per person, as compared
with $50 in 1913.
‘‘These staggering statistics,”
he added, “should challenge
the best thought of this nation.
Only intelligent, organized ac
tion in expenditure control
will save the financial integ
rity of this country.”
Mr.” Adams pointed out that
this huge juggernaut of pub
ic expenditure has grown
largely through the apathy
and lack of cohesion on the
taxpayers and declared that if
any leformation is to be made
it will not come from those
who are beneficiaries of the
irgy of extravagance but must
oe brought about by the tax
payers themselves through
;tate organizations pledged to
secure efficiency and economy
n public expenditures.
“Such an organization in
■ach state,” he said, ‘‘must be
prepared to face the sternest
jppostion and resistance from
hose who profit under the
present regime of extrava
gance. Taxpayers must not de
ude themselves into the belief
or hope that relief will be
forthcoming until they, as tax
payers, not only demand it,
but point out definite and prac
tical ways of effecting savings
and improving administration.
“This all leads to the con
clusion that chambers of com
merce and state taxpayers as
sociations, with units establish
ed in the political divisions of
the state, working intelligently
purposely *and courageously to
a common end, represent the
only hope the American peo
ple has of salvation from com
plete property confiscation.
The taxpayers’ fate rests clear
ly with themselves,'*

Just for Fun
The way to play hookey from
a correspondence school is to
send them an empty envelop.
Saddest Event of the Month
The health enthusiast who
wrote an article on fresh milk
and an editor condensed it.
“No, I wouldn’t marry a
widower,” said Janette, “I
prefer to tame my husband
myself."
“Your told my husband that
his word at home was law.”
“Oh, yes? Well, itls one of
those laws that’s never enforc
ed.”
The man who got mad last
week at what the paper said
about him, should give thanks
for what the paper knew about
him and didn’t say this week.
“Where did you get that
bum cigar you wished on me?’’
“That was a two-for-a-quart
| er cigar.”
“Who got the twenty-cent
| one?”
i _
I Judge: “What happened af
ter the prisoner gave you the
first blow?”
Witness: “He gave me a third
i one.”
“You mean a second one?”
“No, I gave the second one.” j
A sales-manager was asked
by a so-called salesman, whom
he had fired, for a recommen
dation. He thought it over and
ithen wrote as follows:
“The bearer of this letter is
leaving me after one month’s
work. I am perfectly satisfied.”
j The restaurant manage!
! came into the jewelry store, a
i sad expression on his face. “1
want three dozen more pieces
| of silverware,” he ordered.
“Some of the people I feed
I seem to regard our spoons and
j forks as a sort of medicine to
be taken after meals.”
_
During an intense love scene
| in the movies, when the hero
\ was doing his stuff, wifie
j nudged hubby and said:
“Why is it that you never
make love to me like that?”
“Say,” he replied, “do you
know the salary he gets for
doing that?”

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO
From the Hyder Alaska Miner
November 16, 1921
John W. Frame, one of the j
best known newspapermen in1
the Territory has been appoint- j
ed United States Commissioner1
for the Hyder district and will!
take over the office on Dec- j
ember 1st. John T. Reed, the j
retiring1 commissioner, whose J
registration was accepted last |
week, expects to go to Califor
nia for a while and will then
take up practice of law in Ket
chikan. Mr. Reed assumed of
fice here on the first of April,
1920.
Misses Irene and Helen Hall
left this week for Seattle, |
where they will remain until
after Christmas.
Joe Grashio has moved his
Malamute Cigar Store to the
corner of First and Main sts.

Frank into partnership.
Mr. and Mrs. W. R. Tooth
have moved into their new
home in the big hotel building
(Ocean View) which was re
cently moved from Stewart to
j Hyder, B. C.
A good way to obtain funds
for fencing the open places
along the streets and walks
would be to assess each mem-'
ber of the-High Dive club a
dollar. The amount thus col
lected would be sufficient to
fence the whole town.
