GREAT LAKES SHIPPERS
EXPECT HEAVY TRAFFIC
•CLKV BLAND, 0„ April 13.—Cteve
land vessel men are predicting a big
season in Great Lakes freight traffic
this year. Business for several sea
sons has boon spotty, but ore, coal
and grain operators are regaining
confidence as the approach of navi
gation opens.
Coal for the north-west will be in
demand, since the docks in the upper
lakes will not have their usual ac
cumulation. Two million tons of coal
wore on tho docks In the northwest
when navigation opened last year.
Very lititile, If any, will be left this
year.
Movement of Iron ore predicted foi
the present season is about 55,000,000
tons, compared writh 12,500,000 tons
last season. Iron ore is being con
sumed rather rapidly at the fur
naces, and stocks on the docss will
be lower than ait tho opening of navi
gation last year.
A number of vessels already are
loading coni at Lake Brie ports for
the northwest, and will depart as
soon a.s Lho ice goes out.
Grain shipments depend on crop
and market conditions. If they hold
up to the figures of the 'last two sea
sons, the (total movement of bulk
freight on tho Groait Lakes tor the
1923 season is expected to l>o more
(than 10(1,000,000 tons, compared with
S9,454,848 tons .in 1922 and 68,033,575
tons in 1921.
Tho record oro ‘movement was in
1916, .when 65,000,000 tons were
brought down. The lowest movement
In recent years was in 1921, when
only 22,000,000 tons wore moved.

LIBERALIZATION
OF CORPORATION
LAWS PROPOSED
Daly Introduced New Busi
ness Corporation Law—
Loan Rate Bill Fought.
Two Dina, one designed to facilitate
I organization of .Incorporations ,:i tie
; Territory, anil file second to incre.i e
j slightly the revenues from filing lees
' of corporations, were Introduced in
II he Houso today l*y Representative
Daly. The first. No. is for an
1 act to revise the genef.il law of busi
ness corporations in the Territory,
and tlie second, No. 37, prescribe i
|fees and anAuil tax to l,e paid by
j both demestlc Wild foreign i-orpora
J tion-s.
Two or three changes from t'l
present law are proponed in tile first
of these measures, according to Mr.
Laly. One, and probably, the most
.mportaiM, provides for the is.v.i 11c
of stock having no nominal or par
w.itie; another provides lop one direr
ter only to he a re ident Alaskan,
i».slcad of a majority of the board
ot directors as is now required; a
i«iird permits annual meetings to be
held without the Territory; the bill
uiso explicitly sets forth that th
judgment of the board of directors a
to the value of properly for which
stock is Issued or exchanged . i ui
be questioned except for fraud. This
.Ail, added Mr. Daly, is bo.- -J >,
corporation laws of Delawn,, and
New Jersey and follows partly those
ol New York and is designed to
encourage capital to enter th :■ T r
i Kory and operate under Territorial
laws, it applies only to companies
whose entire business, or the greater
part thereof, is confine I to the Terri
tory, other incorporations being pre
vented under the limitations of the
Organic Act.
The second bill provides a base
filing fee of $15 for corporations
having $ capital 3toek issue of $200.
000 or less and 5 cents per thousand
for each additional $1,000 authorize I
capital stock issue in excess of
$200,000. It is estimated, said Mr.
Duly, that this will annually increase
the revenue of the Territory from
that source by $5,000. Tile present
filing fee of a flat rate of $15 re
gardless of the (amount of capital
stock issued.

t.'allahan’s bill to tax railroads in
the Territory $100 per mile was un
favorably reported by the Ways and
Mia ns t’ommitteo this morning, two
members. Decker and Wilson, not
concurring in the recommendation
that it do pass, it will com© up n

ARE MEN LAZIER THAN WOMEN?
Or only less conservative ? It is a fact that
man's work, which lies outside the home, has
been simplified and made easier by the adoption
cf a thousand devices, but woman’s work, which
is mostly in the home, continues very often to
be back-breaking', nerve-wrecking, expensive
drudgery. Mr. Gocdfellcw why not modernize
your heme and make it easier for the wife. One
of the biggest tasks that the housewife has to
perfoim is the weekly washing- and the house
cleaning. This work can be lightened fully
80 per cent by the use of an electric washing
machine and vacuum cleaner. Come in and let
us demonstrate these labor savers.
