REGISTRATION IS NECESSARY.
The conduct of the community’s affairs is a busi
ness matter. Each person over the age of 21 years,
who has resided in Alaska for as much as one year
and the city of Juneau six months is a stockholder
in that business. The Mayor and members of the
City Council who are elected from year to year
compose the board of directors acting for the stock
holders in the management of their business enter
prise.
As in the afTV vite corporations and
companies c i ,! d n this public business
h ' ; • ce in the management,
• i thr ugh the board There
fore, in order to effectively exercise his right and
protect it, each citizen must have a part in the
naming of the members of the board. And regard
less of the value of property owned, each citizen
has as much to say as any other in this procedure.
Every one who can qualify has a vote. But it can
only be exercised by registration.
The registration books, which are in the office
of the City Clerk, will remain open until Saturday
evening. It is the duty of every qualified citizen
to register and, after that, to vote at the election
next Tuesday. Anyone who neglects that duty, if
he becomes dissatisfied during the coming year with
the manner in which the comumnity’s business is
being conducted has no just cause to air that com- j
plaint.
THE LAW ENFORCEMENT COMMISSION
Press despatches disclose that President Hoover
Is moving slowly and with caution in selecting the
members of the Law Enforcement Commission. This
is the attitude that would naturally be expected
from him since his training and experience as an
engineer would tend to lead him to pick persons in
whose judgment he had implicit confidence and give
them a free hand in their investigations.
It is apparent the President has laid out a tre
mendous task for the Commission. First suggested
as a body to study Prohibition and its enforcement,
it has now broadened into an inquiry into all law
enforcement including Customs' violations, narcotics,
Court procedure and other subjects pertaining to
general enforcement. It is not a work that can be
entered into superficially nor passed over with per
niiwiiiiiiiiiiimiimiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimiiiiiimiiimimii
! functory judgment. Many months, if in fact not
(years, will be necessary for a complete survey.
Primarily, of course, the country is interested
, mainly in the Prohibition end of the inquiry. Both
the Drys and the Antis desire a dispassionate sur
vey of conditions, and the Commission proposed by
President Hoover seems to be the most likely source
| of that. It should approach the situation with un
biased minds to get at the real facts and render its
findings impartially with recommendations that are
based on all the known factors in order that the
! problems can be met. While it should deal with the
i entire subject in a manner suitable to its serious
[ ness and without haste, neither should it delay its
findings too long. There is too much bitterness on
both Sides for the best interests of the nation and
1 as long as current conditions remain unchanged this
bitterness will intensify rather than become less
marked.
By all means let the Commission make a complete
survey while .it is at work. But let its first work
be directed toward the Prohibition issue and the
problems of its enforcement.
The current best sellers at Uiis season of the
year are the seed catalogues and, unlike the average
detective yarn of today, the purchaser can seldom
guess what the outcome will be.
The new Attorney General of the United States
rises to remark: “Now, we shall have Prohibition.”
And the observation of the Irishman that Pro
hibition is better than no liquor at all. still re
mains unchanged.
Election Day May Be Advanced.
(Ketchikan Chro'nicle.)
Legislators, sitting at Juneau, are considering a
proposal to ask Congress to advance the legislative
sessions to January and the biennial election a
month There seems no objection to either of these
oesals and many reasons why they should be
approved.
vs provided by law now the legislative session
d >es not come to an end until the first of May.
Then the members have' to travel many hundreds
of miles to thier homes with the result that many
are greatly delayed in their seasonable operations,
either in the fisheries or in mining. With the better
means of transportation in Alaska now, by air, train
and steamship, there is no reason why the members
could not meet five or six weeks earlier.
Advancement of election days is advisable be
cause there are many, particularly in the Northern
Divisions who are compelled to leave for the States
on business at the end of their season's work and
who, while among the heaviest taxpayers are not
permitted to exercise their right of franchise. It
even appears that it would be still better if Con
gress should set the time for the general election
in early September instead of October as suggested
in the Legislature.
Market for American Mining Timber.
(Engineering and Mining Journal.)
Northern Sonora is the largest consumer of Am
erican mining timbers of any Mexican region, ac
cording to a report of the United States Department
of Commerce. The National Mining Chamber has
estimated that the total consumption of timber and
lumber by the larger mining companies of Mexico
is 94,000,000 board feet annually, of which 29,000,
000 board feet is imported and the remainder native.
The same authority states that about 24,000,000
board feet of the imported material is consumed by
mining companies in Sonora and Lower California.
Of the remainder of the imports 17 per cent, is
consumed in Chihuahua and Coahuila, leaving 0.6
per cent, for the mines of the interior.
From 1923 to 1927, inclusive, imports of lumber
and timbers averaged slightly above 16,000,000 board
feet annually, of which 14,000,000 board feet was
sawn lumber, and the remainder round timbers. The
greater part of this is mine props, although much of
it is employed in concentrators where boards are
used for lauders. Considerable lumber is likewise
needed in connection with many subsidiary activi
ties of mining companies, notably in construction
of housing for their employees.

Are You Bewildered By All
the Merchants ’ Ballyhoo ?
On every side—exaggerated claims as
to quality, far fetched price comparisons,
sensational assertions. How often the
shopper is caught in a web of conflicting,
exaggerated statements made by mer
chants soliciting trade.
What are you to believe? Where can
you go for the truth?
This is the store whose reputation is
based on solid merit. Straightforward,
honest dealing with the public is our
motto.
We make no wild claims. We never
run “Sales Events.”
We don’t call ourselves the Seventh
Wonder of the World. But we do know
that we give the utmost in quality, serv
ice and value all the year round—without
wasting energy in tooting our own horn
into the ears of women already bewild
ered by the tooting coming from all di
rections.
Our success is explained by our sincere
. desire to serve the public as best we can.
We taboo sensationalism. Come here and
get the merchandise ydli want at the
price you want to pay. That’s our sim
ple, honest claim.
The unwritten legend over every store
should be: “He Who Enters Here Is Wel
come, Is Told the Truth, and Buying or
Not, Is Satisfied.”

"I'd like to get this item on a

said the gent to the city editor.
“Don’t see how I can get an ar

snapped the city editor.
"Heck!" retorted the other; "I

Another thing you don't hear

The reason they run street cars
