panics impossible, members of the American Bankers Association were uproariously denouncing it in this par ticuIar feature. They said it was "un- American" to force their reserves un- der public control They called it 80 cialism." They denounced it as con
 fscation." They threatened to test it as unconstitutional. Their fun@ damental rights" would be invaded
 Rights to what? To breed panic to spread panic. to bring upon them selves, as before, the shame of gen eral suspension of banking functions; to bring upon others the untold losses of widespread bankruptcies, to break down industry, and to send idleness. despair and misery stalking through the land
 The country has had many exhibi- tions of the spirit in privileged inter ests which would ruin if they cannot rule. It has never had a bolder or more impudent exhibition of the kind than this. The challenge is clear. Their right to make panics is set up against the Nations right to prevent panics. What is to be the answer of the country and it's Government?

ALASKA NEEDS BOTH RAIL AND
 WAGON ROADS.
Q O

IT PROBABLY would not be wise for
 the railroad and wagon road prop
 ositions in which the people of Al aska are mtercsted to be united in one measure. The railroad bill has been pretty thoroughly discussed. It has been reported lavorably by the committees of the two houses of Con errss. and it has the support of Cabi- net officers. It is going on the calen- dar in each house for consideration at once after the disposal of the cur reucy bill as an administration meas ure It should be given unhampered and unqualified right-of-way.
 However. work on the proposition to secure $1.Oooooo a year for wagon and automobile roads should proceed at once, and the work should be fol lowed consistently. The prospects are that the railroad bill will be out of the way before spring, and the high way project should have an organiza- tiou behind it ready to start it on it's way as soon as the railroads are as sured
 Railroads and wagon roads are both needed in Alaska Highways and trails ar- required to open up the country adjacent to the railroads and the waterways The country cannot be developed without them. From the standpoint of the railroad manage meut they will be required as feeders to provide tonnage for transportation. Work ou them should be pushed so that their construction will keep up With railroad building.
 Let us make no mistake. Alaska wants both railroads and wagon roads. and while We must not permit the desire for both to prevent our se- curing either. the ground should be prepared in such a way that the de- maud for 21o0oooo a year for good roads will not be a surprise when it is presented in formal manner.

THEIR RIGHT TO MAKE PANICs.

-O-O-
 ATO ONE appearing before the Sen ate committee on banking and
 currency has more strongly commended the main features of the pending currency bill than President Fand,rlip of the National City Bank Of New York, and the strongest of his concentrations is that under the proposed system "a repetition of the panic of 1907 would be impossible"
 We have had three great panics un- der the present national banking sys- tenn. which have caused a general sus- pension of cash payments and spread i1nk failures and business failures and ruin and devastation far and wide.
 They have been peculiar to this Ma ton and a scandal to this Nation in their great intensity. And the cause of this peculiar destructiveness has been the same in aIL cases. It is the practice allowed by the existing bank system or centerlng reserves in Wall street for use on call in great specu- latNe campaigns, and their withdraw al in fright when the bubble is about tJ burst and they are most needed to prevent a distrous collapse.
 It was so of the panic of 1873. It was so of the panic of 1893. It was so of the panic of 1907. It will be so again with things as they are.
 But it will not be so again with system which mobiIizes these reserves under public control for the public in terest- The pending bill provides such system, and no bill can assuredly provide such a system which does not compel the national banks to come in- to it.
 Yet while Mr. Vanderlip was testi- flying that the bill would make such
