THE HORNSPOILERS
(FrOm Fairbanks NeWs)

Time has demonstrated times in- numberable that there is no sense in talking to a government official, in the effort to show him the error of his ways, for when one of that genus homo gets his necked bowed in any crazy direction he is bound to go and drag the government payroll after him into the quagmire of failure.
 Many crimes have been committed in the name of Alaska" and when many years ago it was moved to re- pent and try and "do something for Alaska government railroad "to open up the rich Fairbanks district" got the necessary votes and money without much effort. Being a govern ment enterprise of course they turned the building over to government off, cials, and after all these years, to this very moment, the result has been year after year a succession of knocks to Fairbanks and drawbacks to the development of this district, and so it will probably be until the end, when the government officials have to let go their sinecures and the railroad has to stand on it's own merits and demerits. From the very start Fair banks and the resources of this sec tion, which seem to be about all the resources there are at this end of the line, have been lost sight of, or handicapped by the railroad builders.
 Before railroad was ever dreamed of, Fairbanks had a river which was open during the season of navigation at least as far up as Cinema, and from Cinema we had a railroad which could bring out freight to us when the boats could come no nearer. This the government officials have killed and this year this hardpressed dis trict will be further hardpressed by the extra trouble and delay and ex- pense we will have in getting our freight here. Commissioner Mears, the "Poo-Bah" of the railroad admin istration, was telegraphed to and told what it meant in harm to the produc- ing district to take our Cinema road away from us and he came to town and was told the same thing in meet ing, face to face, and he only answer ed: 70, you will always get your freight; you will have the railroad from Nenana!" We have the railroad from Nenana, but the boats cant get near enough to it to deliver freight to it and the freight and passengers arriving at Nenana on the boat yes terday, will get here as best they can, God knows when, and the added cost will hurt
 The railroad commission came and found us prosperous and with depend able transportation. They have work ed in every way to reduce our pros perity and have succeeded quite some and they have taken away from us that dependable transportation and given us in lieu thereof no transpor- tation-in making shoes" for their construction cars they have spoiled the Horn of Plenty" which was to feed the road and without which promise and possibility the builders would never have been given a chance to build. When next Commissioner Mears arrives in town with his trusty camera swung across his shoulders he will probably take a picture of our grasslined streets and send it to his paternal government, entitling it:

Those words murnur like the ocean. They

Get Used to Yourself
By EDMUND VANCE COOh

VANCE
Now this is the first of human laws:
Get used TO YOURSELF
And why?
Because
You must live with yourself for long, long spell,
Drunken or sober, sick well.
You are wed TO yourself for better or worse
For bane blessing for boon curse
And no decree desire shall give
You a separate state in which to live.
Aye, tho you discover your bonds of clay
And blow yourself from your brain away,
You still carcass, still soul,
But you still are yourself in part whole.
Sinner saint (and I'd venture an oath
You will find that yourself is little of both),
Get used to yourself and as sinner saint,
Learn TO live with yourself and without complaint

Out of the World

Seven miles above the earth's surface.
Farther from mankind than any other human being ever

daring, has been done by aviators.
Far above the blue sky into the darkness OF the higher
sy constant backness this intrepid sky explorer scared
He found air so thin he could have lived had he not
brought his earthly store with him; cold his very eye
balls were Frozen with winds blowing eernaly in unheard-
Of gales He back to tell asonshed world what
exists up there high beyond the clouds beyond what
man pictures sky. beyond what man calls his world
Countless numbers of human beings have pondered on
trip of the world They have wondered what would hap
pen to them how they would feel what sights they would
see But only billion had the courage to go and see
for himself what there is beyond That man knows better
than any other how feels TO live out Of the world And
BY the same token stands first in the list of those who
must believe this comfortable little old world after all
For no person who has been out of the world exactly

Some day human will reach the farthest away spot

Good Tax Advice

Don't tax earnings" advises Herbert Hoover.
Nv taxing earnings he points out production is penazed
What, then, should be taxed?
Hoovers reply follows:
sTax nherances unearned incomes and uneaned incre-
ment~"
II is according Hoover unsound economic practice
70 tax a man because he works-produces
Can you find any flaw in that?
Assuredy you will not diminish production by not
taxing it.
Nor win you reduce production by taxing unearned
incomes.
And increased production is what gives to each
person. more food, clothing, automobiles and
more homes.
