IN THE LAND OF THE FREE
-x
Ever since we can remember,
wre have been taught that this is
“the land of the free and the
home of the brave.” And oft
times we are rudely awakened
jfrom that dream of freedom and
right by the actions of those who
dispense justice—mostly they
dispense with it.
In Greensburg, Pa., were ar
rested two men for failure to pay
school taxes and they had to stay
in the jail because the court was
too busy to hear their case. The
taxes amounted to* $5.25 for 1931
and both declared themselves
unable to pay the bill.
We remember what a horrible
thing it was, according to Ameri
can history, that British citizens
were jailed for failure to pay
their debts. Some where we are
told that this is unconstitution
al in the United States. But what
does the Constitution mean to
some of our judges who dispense
with justice?

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN—
-x
j Do you remember when the
fishermen went out by the fifth
of June to fish for pink salmon
and
Do you remember when the
fishermen ofttimes had as much
as 150,000 pink salmon caught
before the first of August and
Do you remember that the
'prices those days were not any
less nor any more than the
prices of today but
Can you figure why it is that
fishermen today cannot even pay
for their gas and oil while before
the O’Malley administration
they made from $300 to $1,800
at one-half cent per fish—which
is half of what is being paid to
day?
i If you can’t figure, it is no
wonder that you are going broke,
i What Can You Do About It
j Write to every congressman in
Washington, write your friends
'in the different states asking
them to write their congressmen
to protest the continued mal
administration of Alaska’s fish
eries. Elect men who will pledge
themselves honestly to put taxes
on the traps that will virtual]y
'confiscate every one of them;
Don’t continue to let the poor
Indians of the country fight for
your own economic existence.

A business man walked into
[the office of an attorney and see

THE IMPORTANCE OF THE
SAWN SHOOK INDUSTRY
-X
Robert L. Ferral, box factory
manager of the McCloud River
Lumber Co., McCloud, California,
presided at the June meeting of
the Pacific Coast Division of the
National Association of Wooden
Box Manufacturers at San Fran
cisco, California. He was elected
president of the association. In
his opening address he said.
“The importance of associa
tion work i nthe sawn box shook
field to the lumber industry
cannot be overestimated. Many
of us in the past felt that the box
plant was but a small factor in
the lumber industry, something
of a convenience, in fact, but
tolerated because it absorbed a
certain amount of material for
which there was no other outlet.
“During the past 35 years I
have been manufacturing boxes
and naturally observed the mar
ket trend of box shook and other
lumber products. What I want
to impress upon you is the fact
that during this time I have no
ticed recurring periods of keen
demand for uppers, shop and
boards, naturally at prices which
proved attractive, to be followed
by a period of building stagna
tion. In contrast, the demand for
box shook has kept a relatively
even keel.
“While at frequent intervals
we find housing more or less ade
quate, affording a poor market
for building material, there is a
constant and ever increasing de
mand for foodstuff and boxes
for their transportation.
“It is true that for lack of
concerted effort we have allowed
one of our most important shook
outlets—cannery cases—t o be
appropriated manufacturers of
substitute containers. We did not
feel this loss so keenly for the
reason that the use o fboxes and
crates for shipment of fruits and
vegetables increased in propor
tion to our loss in cannery case
i footage. The fruit and vegetable
j shook business is our last stand,
and it is today threatened to
'such a serious extent that the
very existence of our industry
i sat stake.
“Only united action, from
which is purged all individual
selfish motives, can save us.
Thank God, lumbermen are by
tradition, fighters, and I believe
in this emergency we will stand
jas one man to protect the in
dustry of which we are so proud
and upon which depends the
llvlihood of thousands of work
men.
“Few, even of the larger oper
ators, have realized in receni
years the important position the
box industry occupies as a con
sumer of lumber. Of the total
cut of lumber in the United
i States approximately 33 per
cent is used in the manufacture
of crates and boxes. In the Paci
fic Greater West 50 per cent oi
the pine is converted into con
tainers, thus indicating the im
portance of the box industry.”

PUBLIC OWNERSHIP PAYS
-x
The good, old Associated Press,
which up to date has never dis
played any Bolshevistis tenden
cies, is authority for the follow- j
ing: j
The tax rate for all municipal
ipurposes in Iola, Kansas, this;
year will be seven and a half
mills, and next year, the auth
orities say, they do not expect to
levy any tax for city purposes.
The explanation, according to
itlie A. P., is that Iola has owned
its utilities—gas, water a n d
electricity— for more than SO
years, and although the rates
are low, the city’s profits are so
large they are sufficient to run
(the city and gradually pay off its
indebtedness.
According to the same author
ity, two other Kansas cities.
Chanute and Colby, are tax free
thanks to the fact that their
utility profits are going into the
public treasury instead of into
the strongbox of some Wail
Street-controlled holding com
pany.

Col. Edward R. Bradley, whose
horses will be shipped from Arl

AMERICAN BANK DEPOSITS
TOTAL $50,000,000,OoO
Statistics on 20,275 state and
national banks indicate a
healthy condition of the nation’s
financial institutions, R. N. Sims,
secretary and treasurer of the
National Association of Super
visors of State Banks, said in re
leasing a comprehensive survey
of banking in the United States.
Based on reports as of Decem
ber 31, 1931, the latest available
total resources were listed as
563,130,550.964.10; deposits as
$50,214,192,615.59. Of the banks,
13,902 are state banks and 6,373
national banks.

CITY POWER
-x
Here is more news to make our
best minds” ponder, muse and
fret. Ponca City, Okla., according
to the Associated Press, takes no
taxes from its citizens because it
makes enough profit from public
!y owned water and light plants
to pay all city expenses, and this
in spite of the fact that rates
charged for water and light have
been reduced twice in the last
two years.
Stillwater, another Oklahoma
city, is Tax Free, thanks to pub
lic ownership. In the state of
Kansas, Chanute, Colby, Aug
usta and Beloit are four tax-free
Cities.
