John D. Morgan and Larry Lan,
both residing at Cordova, have de
vised a plan that they believe would
effectually relieve all future suf
fering caused by unemployment
and destitution from old age, if it
could be made effective. Tills plan
has been submitted t-o Delegate
Wickersham, who in turn lias re
ferred it to Walter S. Gifford,
chairman of the President’s or
ganization for unemployment re
lief. The plan provides that all
wage earners of both sex be com
pelled through the proper chan
nels of legislation to contribute a
small portion of their monthly
wages to a fund to be known as the
"Free Giver’s Fund." It is con
templated that contributions would
be made as follows: Those earn
ing from $50 to $100 per month
to pay 25 cents; from $100 to $150
to pay 50 cents; from $150 to $200,
75 cents; from $200 to $300, $1.00;
from $300 to $400, $1.50; from $400
to $500, $2.00; all over $500 to pay
| $2.50 per month. The professional
and business people of the country

amount of business done each
month, no class of business or po
litical office holder to be exempt

Commissioner of Fisheries Henry
O’Malley states to the Delegate
that he has made it plain to all
interested persons that the fish
traps which were temporarily
closed in Alaska in the season of
1931 must either be closed perma
nently in 1932 or operated by their
owners. The only exception is the
case of traps between Luck f*oint
and Cape Chacon. He further
states that if any of the companies
desire to close any traps temporar
ily in the season of 1932, other than
those which were temporarily closed
in 1931, favorable action would
probably be taken thereon. The
War Department has advised that
it plans to continue the policy of
refraining from requesting the sur
render of any permit for an Alas
kan fish trap thus temporarily
closed in 1981.

An official of Alaska has written

Farm Loan Act, so as to allow
farmers of the Territory to secure
short time loans at small interest
cost.

done by the company of which
Bartley Howard is president.

The Alaska Territorial Chamber
of Commerce has taken a referen- j
dum among its chamber members
on the proposition of the govern-1
ment selling the Signal Corps sys
tem, and the only chamber favor
ing sale was that of Seward. The
chambers were unanimous on the
desire to secure 50 per cent of the
annual revenue derived by the
government from the operation of
the seal fisheries of the Pribilof
Islands. Another referendum on
which the chambers were unani
mous is the desire for adequate
legislation by Congress to author
ize the U. S. Army and Navy to
establish adequate aviation stations
and landing fields in Alaska, and to
maintain one or more squadrons of
airships at all times in the Terri
tory so as to be ready to respond
to call when needed. The result of

Pure food, pure milk, pure water—
in all the things you eat or drink,
you want absolute purity.
Purity counts
in cigarettes, too
Making cigarettes as pure as they can be
made is our business. And it’s your bus
iness, too — because you smoke them.
All the materials that go into the making of
Chesterfield cigarettes are tested again and
again by expert research chemists to see that they
are absolutely clean and pure. Just like the things
you eat or drink.
The tobacco is pure. The right kind—mild,
sweet and ripe! Handled throughout by the
most modern machinery.
The paper is pure. Clean. White. The best
cigarette paper that money can buy.
There is cleanliness in every step of Chester
field’s manufacture. Old-fashioned methods
have been discarded, and Chesterfields are
made and packed in modern sanitary factories
where even the air is washed, and changed every
four-and-one-half minutes.
Every day more men and women are chang
ing to Chesterfield. And changing for good!
Four big reasons clinch the choice: Milder—
