CITIES PLUNGING INTO SLOUGH
OF DEBT
Ciiies, like individuals, sometimes
stretch their credit to the breaking
point. Others simply get head over
heels in debt, apparently with little
thought of the morrow. Late last week
the mayor of Chicago “shocked and
astounded’’ 200 of the city’s leading
businessmen by frankly stating that
the municipal government might cease j
to function because of lack of money.,
Instead of the $1,000,000 generally re- 1
ported to have been in the city treas
ury when he took office, he said, a
careful investigation has revealed an !
actual deficit of $5,000,000. Only about j
ten days earlier a dispatch had been I
sent out from Marion, Ohio^ the home j
town of President Harding, that the
city was “broke” and lacked cash with
which to pay its employes. A few days j
later from Detroit came a statement j
that Henry Ford had lent the city j
$500,000 at 4 per cent interest—not
that Detroit was “strapped,” but that
it was borrowing in large sums not
withstanding that it is one of the larg
est and richest cities in the United
States. Throughout the country cities
are plunging deeper and deeper into
debt, seemingly without and thought
of the day of reckoning: and it is an
arresting circumstance that so great
a city as Chicago should be compelled
to call on its businessmen for assis
tance to save the municipality from
bankruptcy. When wise men get be
yond the financial depth they econo
mize. Cities should do the same.
Great Britain is evidently peeved
over Uncle Sam's orders regarding li
quor on foreign ships in American wa
ters, and has adopted retaliatory mea
sures calculated to make her ridicu
lous in the eyes of the world. She
has one recourse: if she doesn’t like
our laws she can keep her ships out
of our waters, which will leave more
trade for American vessels.
In one paragraph Juneau papers
claim that it is easier to do business
with the land office by mail; and in
the next they claim that one cannot
do business with the land office effi
ciently by mail.
Senator E. E. Chamberlin of Seward
has been appointed tax collector for
the Bristol Bay precinct, by Governor
Scott C. Bone. The Gateway was one
day too soon in its .criticisms of the
tax collector appointments.
PROPERTIES IMPROVED
Many property owners are fixing up
in readiness for the presidential par
ty. Among the latest are J. L. Graef,
whose store is being given a coat of
paint by A. Ericson, and Brown &
Hawkins Corporation, whose triple
store front is being painted by F. B.
Moore.
Capt. Boyd, army dental surgeon,
and assistant, arrived on one of‘the
last boats and left on today’s train
for Anchorage, where he will inspect
the molars of the boys at the bar
racks.
A bargain window at Brown and
Hawkins, Corp, full of shoes—you can
not afford to pass them by—Saturday
is the last day.
Having added to my service a Dry
Cleaning System please note the vast
difference in the appearance of your
garments after they have been Dry
Cleaned by Jordan’s Valet Service
Mrs. Anton Eide and daughter, left
today for Anchorage, to be gone until
Saturday.

THERE’S no doubt about it, paint will help
sell or rent any house. There’s something at
tractive about fresh paint, just as there is about a
new suit of clothes or a brand new car. The in
creased selling price, also, yields a profit on the
painting job.
Most householders keep their homes painted be
cause they take pride in their appearance, and a
well-painted house will always sell more readily.
Fuller’s Products—Pioneer White Lead, Concreta,
Fuller’s Pure Prepared Paint and Phoenix Pure
Paint, Silkenwhite Enamel, Fuller Cement Floor
Paint, Porch and Step Paint, "Fullerwear” and
"*i 5’for Floors” Varnish,etc.—have proved their
worth.
Whatever your painting need, W. P. Fuller & Co.
makes a paint for the purpose. Fuller products are
of consistently high quality. They are unexcelled
for ornamental and protective value. The Fuller
reputation—74 years old—is your guarantee. Write,
today, to our Service Department. Ask also for our
"Home Service” booklet—it is free. For large paint
ing jobs, a master painter should be employed.
