DAYTON IS WISE
Dayton, Ohio, is going to be
! run in a business-like manner
whether or not there is any
one in Dayton who knows how
to conduct a city’s business.
A new charter has been adopt
ed by Dayton and it provides
i for a city manager and that
, manager may be a man from
! San Francisco, New York or
j Germany. Dayton does not
] care where he comes from
j just so long as he is a compet
| tent man to manage the city
; and run it on a paying basis.
It would be a mighty good
' idea for Ketchikan to follow in
j Dayton's foot steps.

ALASKA RAILWAY
BILL REPORTED
Rep. Wickersham's bill auth
orizing the construction and
operation of a government
! railroad in Alaska hag been re
I ported by a subcommittee on
j territories. The president is
authorized to name the road
! and the other properties to be
acquired under the act; to em
j ploy such officers and agencies
j as he sees fit to carry out the
j act: to pick out a route or
i routes for the road and pur- j
I chase or condune right of way
| terminal grounds, etc; topur
j chase equipment for construc
tion and operation; to fix rates
\ of transportation subject to re
1 vision of the interstate com
merce commission; to lease,
the road after completion. The
interstate commerce commis
sion is given the same power
and authority over the road as
over other roads.
The secretary of the Treas
ury i< authorized to borrow
$35,000,000 on 3 per cent 10
to 30 year bonds to be sold at
par. and $1,000,000 is appro
priated to be returned when
the bonds are sold, ta carry
out the act.
A redemption fund is created
into which is to be paid a cer
tain proportion of all moneys
derived from the sale of pub
lic land in Alaska or the coal
or mineral contained therein
or the timber thereon, and in
to which is to be paid the net
income from the operation of
the railroad. This fut* is to
be used to pay the unrest on
the bonds and to redeeir 'hem.
Those placed in charge of
the road are required to make
an annual report to the presi
dent.
The act is carefully drawn
and seems throughly adapted
to accomplish the end intended
What we want is to have it
passed and put into effect.

crazy. You may bring people
to your store, but if they come
| there never more, where is
stable as a church; and if
jyou’er on a crooked perch
you’d best come off it. The
! baker advertises bread; lie
I prints his screams in blue and
I red, ami green and crimson;
j you buy a loaf and find it
I stale; “it is the worst I e’er
you wail, “have sot my glims
on.” And will you to that
baker tread to buy some more
denatured bread, for next days
dinner? Not on your whiskers!
You will say. “I'll try some
other joint today, as 1‘ a sin
ner!” Old Bilks, the baker
man, should sec that every
loaf is up in G, a perfect pro
duct or customers will fiercely
wail: “He should be ridden
on a rail, or in the wet duck
ed.” And if his bread is on
the blink he shouldn’t sound,
through printer’s ink, his
glad kyoodle: but if his bread
is smooth as grease, that ink
will bring him joy and peace

Results obtained under the
! operation of the British Work
. men’s Compensation and Em
ployers’ Liability Acts during
1912 are of much interest to
operators in this country. The
! general terms of these laws
j are too well known to need
j repetition. During the past
year 421,106 cases of injury
and 3,599 death cases were
i compensated; the statistics
i covering 7,500,000 employes
•engaged in 136, 279 indus
tries. Two-thirds of the em
ployes are factory workers,
and the average annual charge
for compensation there am
ounted to only $1.23 per per
son employed* Di the mines
the charge was $5.35, the aver
; age for all industries being
$2.10. A most gratifying
feature of the law is the small
number of claims taken into
the courts, only 3,858 having
been settled judicially, and of
these, 76 per cent were award
ed in favor of the workman.
