TOO MANY SUBSCRIPTIONS

Scarcely a day passes in this com-
 munity that a merchant or business
 man does not have showed before his
 nose a paper asking for donation
 or subscription for some purpose or
 other. In fact, it is getting to border on the scandalous, the business men
 in. this town are being pestered by those peddling advertising space on programs, which do the advertisers little good, or donating to this or that. Last week, for instance, there were four separate calls on the business men, four separate subscription pap CTS placed before them for signature. Now, the Times does not say that some of these subscription are not worthy and are not deserving of SUD- port. The point we wish to make is, that the thing is being overdone; that the business men here are be- ing imposed on by too frequent ap- peals for aid, for one cause or ano- ther. Some of these subscriptions and appeals for aid are for very laudable causes, no doubt, but the burdens should not alone be borne by the busi- ness men; they should be participated in by the entire community. If funds are needed for a given cause, let those taking the initiative in raising the funds, get up an entertainment of some kind, giving some value for it in return.
 Throughout the nation, in answer to a call of the president, an effort will be made to raise a hundred mill lion dollars this week for the Nation al Red Cross society. Those in charge of raising funds for this most laud- able purpose in this community, will, we understand, inaugurate new de- parture, in that they will endeavor to raise the funds by giving enter tainments during the week, due men, tion of which will be made in the Times. They will not, we understand, content themselves by going about with subscription papers among the business men, as has been the prac- tice heretofore, but they will seek to give something in return in the way of entertainment. In this way, the burden will not fall alone on the busi- ness men; it will be distributed thru out the community. - Anchorage Times.

THE COLONEL'S AMBITION

Col. Wilds P. Richardson, president of the board of Road Commissioners of Alaska, who is on his way from Washington to the territory, tells the Seattle people, in an interview in the local papers, that he proposes to make the Valdez Fairbanks road the most scenic route in the world" To this end, it will be necessary to ex- pend, on this road this season, the greater part of the $50O,0OO appro- priation, gained from reluctant con- gress, for road and trail building in Alaska. We really hate to disturb the Colonel's dream of monument to himself in the wilds of Alaska, as rep resented by an automobile road lead ing from coast town to the interior, but we are persuaded that the time has not arrived in this territory to build such comprehensive pleas ure boulevards, when there is such a crying need for roads and trails de- voted to the development of the re- sources of this vast, undeveloped country.
 We are frank to confess that it is our unqualified opinion that every nickel of this $5OO,O0O appropriation should be expended on road and trail building that is essential to the open ing of the agricultural and mining industries of Alaska. When our na- tion, as officially stated by those in high authority, must cultivate every acre of available agricultural ground in the country, to avoid a food short age, it occurs to us that it is gross lack of judgment, to say the least, for the president of the board of Alaska road commissioners. himself a sol dier of the United States Army, to even talk of building pleasure roads, when the same money, properly ap- piled, would open hundreds of acres of agricultural lanas in the Matan- uska, Susitna and other fertile val leks of the northland.
 Further. this big appropriation was obtained from congress, on the theory that the funds were needed to build feeders to the government railway project.
 What this territory most needs at this time is a permanent population. To encourage the settlement and de- velopment of thousands of acres of good agricultural lands in the fertile valleys of the territory, passable roads of ingress and egress are need ed above all else. We like to see pleas ure seekers come to Alaska. And in time we should like to see boulevard from the coast to the interior. But this boulevard is not pressing need; it may we'll be deferred until later date, or until roads and trails of more material and urgent need are supplied

abandoning the government railroad.
 The valdez-Fairbanks trail will be travelled long after the railroad is completed, for the reason that this is the natural outlet to the coast, and is several days nearer to Seattle. Let us hope that this reason has no bear ing upon the unjust criticism of our Coal-Dust Twins.
