ONE OF OUR TROUBLES
-X
One of the factors which con
tributes to the problems of /
ka is the government dictation
by the Fifth Division Men who
live in Alaska during the smil
ing days of summer; men who
live amongst us for a few brief
months, arrive with the Seattle
complex and immediately enter
into territorial affairs. They
see things from their own ignor
ant angle and bend their efforts
to secure their own ends. When
they tire of the Territory, they
pack their suit cases and steam
er trunks leaving troubles and
complexities behind.
The recent legislature has
added to the problem now by
passage of the absentee voting
law. Under this law, the great
tribe which comes to Alaska in
ihe spring and leaves in the fall,
may cast their vote in Alaska
while they maintain residence
and vote in the states. Political
hybrids, neither Alaskans nor
Washingtonians, yet they pre
tend to be one or the other and
thus misrule the Territory.

THE BEST LEGISLATURE
-x——
Speaking of the recent Legis
lative membership, the Juneau
Empire declared it to be the best
that was ever elected to serve
the people. Quite a compliment
even if it was not intended for
i he men elected from the First
Division, with the exception of
three were sent their “by the
Indians and their friends.” Dur
ing the elections however, one
would be led to believe that the
“ignorant voters did not know
whom to elect.” Now the Em
uire comes and said that the
Republicans really picked out
and sent good men to Juneau.
Thank you, Mr. Troy, we in
tend to remind you of this com
pliment next year.

ON THE ROAD TO RUIN
.. If wages are cut, all industry j
will be hurt and the employers
will be hurt along with the
workers, A. C. Dorrance, presi
dent of the Campbell Soup Com
pany, a large labor employer
i 'Id the Camden, N. J., Cham
oer of Commerce.
He tore into employers who
are advocating wage reductions
as “short-sighted, blind to their
own interests.”
. “Wage, earners, consume. 69
per cent of all they produce and
are our best market. Every dol
lar taken from their wages is a
dollar less of consumptive capac
ity,” Dorrance said.
Ho predicted that next winter
we will have unemployment and
asserted “our job is not yet done
in taking care of those who want
to work but can find no work.”
We pass the above, taken from
LABOR, on to the good members
of the local and All-Alaska
Chambers of Commerce for their
serious consideration. .
For the past ten years the In
dians of the Territory have had
to cinch up on their belts and
to live on clams, “gumboots,”
and other native foods. They
have had their belts cinched up
even past the last notch. Now,
ihis same system which controls
the U. S. Bureau of Fisheries,
controls the markets and pro
duction. The white fishermen
and residents who have idled by
whilst the Indians fought their
battles will commence cinching
op on their belts. The business
men will begin to cinch up on
their belts. No dividends will be
declared by the Alaska business
men, but the SYSTEM will con
tinue to make their profits.

“DEADLY ATTACK ON THE
NATION” r , { ? '
The Washington Post, admit
tedly a conservative publication
in an editorial recently said:
“The American market is not
only supplied, but absorbed by
the workers of America. CON
SEQENTLY THE CAMPAIGN
STARTED BY NEW YORK
BANKERS TO DRIVE DOWN
WAGES IS A DEADLY ATTACK
UPON THE WELFARE OF THE
NATION.
“It is dastardly in its selfish
ness, and stupid in its short
sightedness. Because dividends
have been reduced, these bank
ers would kill the productive
system.
“Because the goose is not lav
ing as many golden eggs as us
ual, they would kill the goose. At
one stroke they would diminish
the consumption of products
that now sustains all industries,
by depriving the consumers of
their wages. A fine method of
returning dividends.”

Are You Suffering on Piles?
IF PILES DRIVE YOU MAD
About one person out of five suffers from some disease or
other of the large intestine. Many of them suffer acu;e
pain for years and are in misery because of piles and are
satisfied to secure occasional relief by using some remedy or
other. But these remedies do not help. For those who suf
fer from piles, time is too costly to waste experimenting
with untimely methods. A tried and proven method of cur
ing piles, fistula, itching piles, fissure, abscesses, abdominal
wounds and constipation is the use of
