SUSPENSION OF ASSESSMENT WORK
The act of Congress suspending mine assessment
work for 1932 appears to offer some confusion for its ap
plication.
According to the measure, as passed by Congress, it
is not necessary to do assesment work accruing between
July 1, 1930 and June 30, 1932. Thus those who failed to
do their assessment work last summer to have it apply for
the year ending June 30, 1932, will not be compelled to do
it. They then have from July 1, 1932, to June 30, 1933, in
which to perform assessment work for 1932-33.
It was sought by many interests in the States to have
assessment work laid over for 1932 and 1933. Here the
argument intruded as to whether this suspension would
be a relief to the claim owner or a detriment to the labor
er seeking this means of revenue from holders of large
areas of mining ground. In the case of the small claim
owner the present rule is satisfactory. In the case of ab
sentee owners of large areas a longer extension would
work an equal hardship upon the laborer.
Sourdough Bill says: The two hombres I wish to
meet up with when Fm loaded for brownies are “They
Say” and “Whyn’t They.”
Three persons clearly got the worst of it last week.
A drunken Washington woman hailed a police car for a
taxi, a Michigan cracksman blew an empty safe, and a
New’ York baby had to undergo an appendicitis operation
before he was 40 minutes old.
Regardless of the evidence, w'e doubt that Judge Sea
bury will convince a majority of New Yorkers that Mayor
Jimmy Walker is crooked—or that they would get very
mad about it if he did. A mayoralty race between the
Judge and Jimmy next time would be interesting.

BETTER TIMES ARE COMING
Don’t be Discouraged!
Don't lose the will to win .... don’t join the pessimists who
see naught but disaster ahead—
During a previous depression, the government had to is
sue paper “Clearing House Certificates” as a substitute for
money. Conditions were just as bad, only we have forgotten.
Prosperity has always followed bad times—this is one of the
laws of business cycles.
Now is the time to substitute the word “Reconstruction” for
“depression.”
Don’t be discouraged. Lend a hand to reestablish confidence.
America will see this through and emerge victorious.
Better times are coming!

A fire at the Fairbanks city jail1
recently almost cost the life of pri- j
soner R. I. Whittby. The prisoner j
was saved only by the heroism on j
the part of firemen who made their
way on hands and knees through j
the thick smoke to save him. The j
prisoner was unconscious w h e n j
found by the firemen but he re
vived quickly when brought to the
open air.

The man who preys on other men’s wives

a single picture of straying from the “Nar

most of the slips of married women. Noth

With it there is a two-reel feature pic
