THE PARAMOUNT ISSUE
In the midst of all the political jockeying which is in
separable from a presidential campaign, the paramount
issue which interests the “Outside” people and Alaskans
is unemployment. When millions who are begging for a
chance to work are denied an honorable means of earn
ing a livilihood, all other problems seem insignificant.
The efforts of politicians to place the blame for pre
sent conditions on this party or that, or on this official
or that, are manifestly insincere and futile. No political
party, no official or group of officials of the government,
can be held responsible for the unhappy economic plight
of this nation and of the world.
The best brains of America and other nations have
long been devoted in an earnest effort to find a solution
to the world’s economic problem, but without success.
Here and there a remedial action has given a small mea
sure of relief. But, broadly speaking, the problem is still
far from solution.
It might be well, therefore, for the mass of our cit
izenship to discount the claims and counter claims of pol
itians during the forthcoming campaign and demand a
facing of these pressing problems on the basis of reality
rather than theory.
Whenever either of our political parties can give any
convincing evidence of real accomplishment in the direc
tion of restoring prosperity, that party should have the
support and applause of the general pubic. But until such
a showing of concrete results can be made, the average
citizen is justified in considering all the partisan bally
hoo as just so much political bunk.
If prosperity is restored, it must be through the co
operation of all parties and all the people. This is not a
partisan question.

head the special cast in portrayal of the
difficult parts seen and heard in the
great play
“The Ruling Voice”
in eight reels
This is a powerful play showing the inner workings
of the “ring” of master-minds of big racketeering—
men who would have been managers of big corpora
tions, gone bad.
A very clever play with an unusually strong drama
showing that every “lead man” has some weak spot.
NOT A GANG STORY
But the business of big racketeering, with a mystery
throughout that will hold you.
With it we will show you four one-reelers—A News,
A Looney Tune, A Comedy and a Singing Reel.
