CAMPAIGN EXPENSES.
Presidential campaigns this year
are going to be run on a thrift
basis, in the opinion of several mem
bers of the senate committee which
has been investigating pre-conven
tion expenditures of the various
candidates who sought nomination
by one or the other of the major
parties.
Senators Kenyon (Rep.) of Iowa,
Reed (Dem.) of Missouri, and Spen
cer (Rep.) of Missouri all declare
that the campaigns this year will
be conducted with more care and
consideration for the financial end
than ever before.
The chairman of the senate in- j
vestigating committee, Mr. Kenyon,
said the pre-convention disclosures
made through the committee, and
the fact that it was instructed by
Congress also to investigate presi
dential campaigns, will make the
political managers careful of their
ependitures, and no disbursement
which might cause unfavorable com
ment, even from opponents, will be
made.
“I don’t mean to say that any
one is afraid of the committee,”
said Senator Kenyon, “but the poli
ticians realize that their expendi
tures are going to be scrutinized
carefully, and consequently they are
going to cut out many of the usual
items.”
Senator Reed said that economy
would be forced on the political di-j
rectors because they w'ould not have 1
so many large subscriptions as here
tofore. !
“Big business doesn’t like to be >
publicly mixed in politics, and many j
of the customary large subscriptions I
will be cut down,” he added.
Senator Spencer also expressed
belief that there would be consid
erable thrift in the campaigns, but
declared that it would never go so
far “as to eliminate the usual trum
pet blare.”
“There is no question, however,
that the campaigns this year are
going to be handled on a very care-1
ful financial basis,” he said.
COST REPORTS.
In its reply to the suit of twenty
two steel and iron companies filed
in the District of Columbia supreme
court to restrain the Federal Trade
commission from requiring monthly
cost reports, the commission de
clares it is proceeding under au
thority of Congress and that the
privacy of business may be invaded
if it is in the public interest. “The
right of privacy claimed by com
plainants is subject to the right of
Congress in promotion of the gen
eral welfare to secure information!
- to be afforded by examination of
books, accounts, etc., w;hen neces
sary for the reason that the com-1
plainants are engaged in a business i
which by reason of its nature andi
relation to the needs of society is!
charged with public interest and s.
subject to the right and power of |
Congress to obtain information with
relation to the whole of the indus- j
try,” says the commission. A com
plete summary of the commission’s
answer may be obtained upon re-j
quest.
OVERALLS “HYSTERIA.”
Clothing-trade interests may speak
scornfully of the spreading move
ment to adopt overalls for daily
wear as “hysterics,” but practical
business men know better, declares
the editor of the New York World.
If they really believed that it was
merely a passing phase of popular
emotionalism they would manifest
less anxiety over the sudden turn
of affairs. When leading depart
ment stores in Brooklyn, where the
campaign is barely launched, reduce
their prices, they offer plain proof
that they regard it as something
far more serious than a momentary
outbreak that will soon subside.
They not only admit that the pro- i
test against excessive prices for j
wearing apparel is justified, but they !
show that the sentiment behind it
can be made practically effective.
The high cost of clothing had
been everywhere discussed for a
long time, and nothing had come of |
it except still higher prices. It has ,
been an unpleasant awakening for!
many manufacturers that in com- !
munity after community thousands '■
of people should spontaneously or- i
ganize and agree that denim and ,
khaki and patched clothes should do !
service as the accepted garb. It is ;
a violent break with the conven- j
tions, not to be explained away as a i
frivolous whim or • craze for no- j
toriety.
The overalls drive is the expres-;
sion of a deep-seated resentment,
and the wise manufacturer and deal
er will recognize it as such.
LABOR INEFFICIENCY.
:
In efficiency of labor and increas
ed building costs are shown in a j
report of the county grand jury to j
Justice Kennedy of Cleveland, Ohio.
The tendency of mechanics, artisans j
and laborers of all trades to do less ;
than a full day’s work is referred >
to. It requires twice as long, with I
the same number of men, to erect j
a house today as it did in pre-war,
times; twice as many hours to do i
carpentry work as it did five years
ago; bricklayers lay less than half
the number of bricks; and paper
hangers, painters and plasterers all
do less than half the work in the
same time they did five years ago.
While the wages have gone up 200
percent in some instances, labor
cost has risen 400 percent, indicat
ing that employes are getting double
pay for one-half the work as com
pared with the pre-war period. The
report declares a man is short
sighted who believes that he can
produce wealth by idling. Cost of
dwellings will depreciate and rent
als will be lower when men who
build homes will do a full day’s
work ungrudgingly, with pride in
the quality and quantity of their
output, the report says.
NO WONDER.
An exchange tells us that “Carlos,
Felix Diaz, former Mexican minis
ter to Bolivia, was found at the
point of death from a bullet wound
in his hotel.”

WILL TAKE CASE
The famous Tupella-Chicagoff
company mine suit will be appealed
to the United States supreme court
if the Chicagoff company attorneys
can secure a writ of review, which
is disputed by the attorneys for Tu
pella. The amount involved is ♦he
largest in the history of Alaska
mine litigation, and the judgment
entered by the appelate court in
favor of Tupella, if the contention
of the plaintiff is true, will amount
to more than one million dollars,
if the value of the claims and the
ore extracted is considered.
The appellate court decision gives
Tupella the entire interest in ihe
“Rising Sun” claim, which is in the
Chicagoff mine group, and a one
half interest in the “Over-the-Hill"
claim.
This claim is said to be the one
from which the Chicagoff company
mined and milled over one million
dollars in bullion. It is further
claimed during the suit company
experts admitted extraction of valu
able ore from this claim. There
fore, the Tupella attorneys will im
mediately ask for an accounting
and judgment for one-half of the
value of the ore extracted.
Facts of the Case.
Action to recover his alleged in
terest in certain claims held on
Chicagoff island by the Chicagoff
Mining company was first started
by John Tupella through his attor
neys,, Judge John R. Winn and
John Cobb, iri May 1919. An am
ended complaint filed by counsel
on June 16, 1919, alleges owner
ship by Mr. Tupella of an undi
vided one-half interest in the "Over
the-Hill,” the "Rising Sun,” the
“Pacific,” and the “Golden West”
lode claims, situated at or near
Klag bay.
Conspiracy Alleged.
The plaintiff alleged ownership
of interest as being one of the
original locators and under a grub
stake agreement between himself,
William Hanlon, Charles Peterson
and H. B. Bauer. Later Bauer ac
quired Peterson’s interest. In 1912.
Tupella and Hanlon advertised
Bauer out of the claim for failure
to bear his portion of the annual
assessment work required, these two
men then acquiring an undivided
one-half interest each. In 1913 the
Chieagoff Mining company, defend
ant in the case, purchased the in
terest of Hanlon, and in 1915 ac
quired Bauer’s interest in the same
manner.
The complainant alleges conspira
cy to defraud him of his rights
while he was in the Momingside
sanitarium for the insane. He was
sent to Morningside in 1914 and re
leased in 1917. During that period

a guardian appointed by the pro
bate court at Sitka sold his inter
ests in the “Over-the-Hill” claim
to the defendant company for $1,
000. Alleging lack of competent
authority for such action, the plain
tiff sought to have the sale set
aside and asked for judgment and
accounting for the ore taken by
the Chicagotf Mining company from
the “Over-the-Hill” claim, which,
according to the testimony given
in the proceedings in the local court,
amounted to $066,000.
Hard-Fought Case.
Following the usual legal prelim
inaries covering several months, the
case came to trail before Judge Rob
ert W. Jennings on November 20,
1919. The case was hard fought,
H. L. Faulkner of Juneau being
aided for the defense by Judge O.
G. Ellis of Tacoma. Following con
clusion of the hearings, Judge Jen
nings took the case under advise
ment, rendering his decision for the
defendant, dismissing the complaint
on February 17, 1920. Appeal was
immediately taken by counsel for
the plaintiff, resulting the reversal
of the lower court.
