CONVENTION NEWS.
_
Telegraph companies operating
from San Francisco are prepared to
handle virtually an unlimited amount
cf press reports on the Democratic
national convention now in session
in that city.
One company alone—the Western
Union Telegraph company—-has
made improvements in its plant at a
cost of S500.000 that will take care
of one million words daily in addi
tion to its regular business. The
Postal Telegraph Cable company has
also increased its facilities and news
agencies and associations are ready
to move quickly an augmented
“load” they will carry over wires
leased from telephone companies.
Under the multiplex automatic
system, that permits four messages
to be carried each way—eight alto
gether—on one wire, the Western
Union is prepared to take cai’e of
250,000 words of press matter for
evening papers and 750,000 for
morning papers each day. No ad
ditional wires were put in, only
"channels” for extra sets of auto
matic instruments being added. The
multiplex system is almost twice as
fast as the Morse, in which the
message is ticked off by hand, and
the company now handles 65 per
cent of its business by the new
method.
The company has installed 1”
miles of pneumatic tubes to carry
messages directly into its main op
erating room, where an intricate
system of belt conveyors makes t
possible to get each message sen*,
within one minute.
With its new improvements, the
Western Union plant is the most
modern in the world, and the third
largest in the United States.
A BILLION DOLLARS FOR CANDY
On the basis of tax receipts, trea
sury officials estimate that the Am
erican people will spend one billion
dollars for candy this year, “yet
they complain of sugar shortage,'
says Secretary Houston.
The reason, of course, is perfect
ly simple, points out the New York
World. Sugar for household use i:
a necessity, and to be obliged to pay
30 cents a pound for it is a crim«
for which somebody ought to go tc
jail. Government should intervene
to protect the helpless consumer
Yet sugar transformed into candy
and multiplied in price is a luxury
for which $1.25 a pound is not toe
much to pay as tribute to the grea'
American god of self-indulgence.
A billion dollars, even under in
flated modern standards of expendi
ture, is a colossal sum of money
It is $250,000,000 more than it cos
by taxation to run the extravagan
Government of the United States ii
the year before the war. Tim<
was, and very recently, when ar
appropriation of a billion dollars by
Congress was a public scandal. Ye
the American people approriates thi;
vast amount to satisfy the craving:
of its sweet tooth. *
That is its privilege and pleasure
of course, but it should not whin*
over a condition due to its glut
tony. It- cannot eat its sugar ir
the form of candy and have it toe
for the table unless it is willing to
exercise a little restraint on its ap
petite.
AMONG ALASKA NEEDS.
If Alaska will ever forge ahead
to the standard of prosperity to [
which her great resources warrant, I
those within the Territory must take
a liberal view toward Outside capi-1
tal invested in the Territory, de-I
dares the Seattle Alaska Dispatch, i
There has been a protest from the \
North for some years that the legis- J
lative powers at Washington ami '
bureaus have done nothing to un- !
lock the great resources of the Ter- 1
ritory. On the other hand, there
is a growing complaint on the part
of Outside investors in the Terri
|
torv that Alaskans do not deal lib
• i
erally with these investors.
There will be little gained for '
Alaska if Congress unlocks her great !
resources if capital cannot be se-1
cured to make them producing.
What the substantial business in- ;
terests of Alaska should do is to I
create a taxation board in Alaska, !
composed of substantial business
men, who can hold meetings and
arrive at some fair basis to adjust
taxation for the Territory. There
is complaint that these matters have
not been fairly administered. Every
Alaskan coming to the States seek
ing monev has encountered com
I
plaint on the part of investors re
garding unjust taxation or discrim
ination. Not only must the in
vestors be dealt fairly with by Alas
kans, but their interests should be
protected against federal burdens.

LOS ANGELES PLAN.
A plan to enlist 12,000 American
Legion members in Los Angeles in
a campaign to reduce the high cost
of living, under the direction of
the city markets bureau, was re
cently announced by Mayor Mere
dith P. Snyder.
The mayor said he proposed to
close the city’s chain of markets to
, the sale of produce which has gone
through the hands of middlemen.
Farmers in surrounding territory,
under the proposed system, would
be invited to send their produce
direct to the markets, and aid fur
nished them to do so by the city, if
’ necessary.
> “The success of this plan would
.depend upon there being an imme
diate sale of the products,” the
! mayor continued. “To that end we
.intend to lay our plans before the
S two local posts of the Legion and
;ask the members to help secure cus
tomers. The membership of the
posts probably represents families
totaling 60,000 individuals, and if
; these patronize the markets under
1 the new system it will be more than
1 sufficient to start things off. The
1 j result. I am confident, will be that
the farmers will get much better
prices and the consumers will get
better food at less cost than they
1 do now.”
