sEAONE AND A NEW CABLE

Aoain Col. Seaone head of the Washing ion Military Cable and Telegraph, System, is in Washinpton. urging Congress to appropll- o+o ono and one half million dollars tor the 7av;no of a new cable to Alaska. Twice Col. Seaone has made this attempt unsuccessfully' bnt annarentlv not knowing the word sur rondor he is back at the door of Congress once more. :. ;.
 Tn coolyino concentrations often-times 1t IS the custom to exaggerate conditions Ill oroer to impress Congress with the necessity ol 'no finds desired. This has been the habit so long that many Congressmen now look assignee at every one appearing before them and dls- count from 50 to 100 per cent, every thlng tllaI is said. Heretofore, when Col. Seaone tellS them that the cable is liable to go to pieces some day and never start operation agaln, they conclude that he too is exaggeratlng.
 Considering the frequency of the breaks dur inp the last year no one in Alaska who IS Ia miliar with conditions is amazed at Co., Sea ones statement It can be readily seen that It is getting worse all the time and that It will be but matter of comparatively few months until it will be beyond repair.
 Conoress, it is said has hestitated over thus request for an appropriation on the grounds of 'Eeconmy," that that is the watchword of the administration Admit that to be true and desirable, yet it should be impressed upon them that the cable appropriation would be economy in the long run, for it costs much money to bring the cabreship Burnside north every few weeks to make repairs, and to have the cable interrupted for long spells, to the detriment of business generally
 It is certainly to be hoped that Congress will heed the appeals of Col Seaone, and grant him the funds desired-Ketchikan Chronicle.

TAKES CRACK AT VALDEZ

One meaning of sufferance is to endure a wrong for long time without complaint.
 An economic wrong is just as much wrong as any other kind. Alaska and different parts of Alaska have for years been enduring, sui ferng permitting many things to go along for long periods of time that it would seem to any reasonable person, should be rectified, corrected, and cured as soon as the matter was brought to the attention of the people or persons who have the right and authority to make the change.
 For instance take the district court situa- tion in the third division: Valdez was made the headquarters for the court at the time the division was made, which created third and fourth divisions out of the old Third Division away back in 1909. At that time Valdez was the proper place for the judicial headquarters; 1t was the largest and the most accessible community in the third division
 But changes have occurred since that date. notably the construction of two railway sys- tems, or the completion of same, the Copper River and Northwestern from Cordova to kennecott, and the government railway from Seward to Fairbanks
 These railways have completely changed the routes and modes of travel in the Third divis- ion. Valdez has gone back from the most inn portant place in the division to a town of fourth rate importance. But the court head quarters remain in the same old place, not

FRELINGHUYSEN'S FIGURES

Excepting $2,000000,000 for expenses growing out of the war, such as interest in the national debt, payment on the sinking fund and $600,000000 for the care of our needy veterans of the conflict, and an in crease of $150,000,000 in the cost of running the Post Office, due to the natural increase of business, the cost of Government has been brought down to approximately what 1t was before we entered the war in 1917," declared Senator Frelnghuysen ina recent address at Atlantic City, New Jersey. The Senator dis closed a memorandum from Secretary Mellon which shows that the estimates for the fiscal year of 1923 are $3700,O 100000 or $1,8O0.00O GOO less than the expenditures of 1921. This is a reduction of almost one-third and it speaks volumes for the achievement of the Republican party in Tightening the burdens of the tax payers.
 Tn addition to this Senator Frelinghuysen cited the fact that the number of persons em- ploved in Washington has been reduced by the Republicans from 10000 to 730O0, while throughout the entire nation 32O,278 persons were dropped from the Government payroll8 Taking $1 ,000 as the average annual salary of "a government employee, this would mean a saving to the taxpayers of $320,O0OOOO on this item alone, or almost $3 per capita.
 The revenue law enacted by the Republicans reduced the tax bill of the country by $818 IOOOOOO, and while it is not perfect and will undoubtedly be vastly improved in the next year or so, it reihoved many burdens and uni Isances
 SThe reserve of the Federal Reserve Banks has increased from a little more than 40 per cent to over v per cent" says Senator Ere Ilinghuysen, ''and rediscount rates in the fnan- cial centers have fallen from per cent to Az per cent. Interest rates generally are declining and the banking system of the country IS III a nosition to meet the legitimate needs of agn- culture and industry.'
 The Republicans have been in full control for less than a year and a half It IS submit ted that the record so far made IS remark able one. and that it will be improved within the life of the present Administration admits of no doubt whatever These figures speak I1onder than all the blatancy of the opposition, and it is nonsensical to talk of changing from an Administration which is pulling the coun- trv out of the hole to an Administration, the leaders of which put the country In the hole and will do so again at the first opportunity not purposely, but because of an utter mab'- itv to handle governmental affairs in an ef- | ficient manner.

SPECIAL ELECTION Monday, Feb. l3,
is the special primary election for the
nomination of our representative in Con-

Capt Harry Babbidge of Dark Harbor,
who has with Mrs. Babbidge been occupy

fire. The house was occupied a the time
of the fire by Herbert f. Patterson and
family. Capt Babbidge has begun repairs
on the buildings and will later reside
there.
Mondays snow storm was not very
severe and only few inches fell. The
greater part of it seemed to lodge on the
many large shade trees that border our
city streets. The hedges and shrubs of all
kinds had Just enough snow to make them
beautiful and not in any way iniure their
branches. 1t is to be regretted that some
of our summer residents could not see
their homes, especially the old Colonial
houses, which looked like pictures of
fairy land There was little clear sun
shine Tuesday but " ednesday was clear
and bright with brisk breeze that stirred
the snow on the trees, etc. in many Sec
tions only adding to the scenic effects.
Belfast was in the lead in recognizing
that women could do most effective work
as members of the Board of Overseers of
the Poor and appointed Mrs. Cecil Clay
on our city board. Mrs. Clay has done
most commendabe work, not only in To-
eating the need but also in relieving it..
In this connection the following clipping
from the Kennebec journal is of interest,":
Secretary James F. Bagley of the
State board of charities and corrections
has addressed letter to all town and
city clerks urging that all boards of over
seers of the poor be composed of both
men and women. Part of the letter Is as
follows: The reasons for these recon- :
mendations are that the problems with
which the boards have to deal are family
ones involving nen, women and children,
and, therefore, the viewpoint OF both
men and women is essential to correc
solution of these problems. Continuity
of policy and special interest in social
welfare are also essential. Now that
women are eligible for membership or
boards of overseers, there seems to be nc
longer any good reason for the creation
of special boards of mothers aids"

McSWAIN'S BILL DOESN'T
OVERLOOK SMALL FARMER
lie Provides for Tenants In His Mea-
sure. Low Rate Of Interest,

lie Provides for Tenants In His Mea-
sure. Low Rate Of Interest,
Washington, Dec. 49, Congressman
~. J. McSwain is pressing his rural
credits bill vigorously. He spent near
ly all day Thursday with the banking
and currency committee Of the Senate,
and himself testified before the COM
mittee today in support Of his bill.
Congressman McSwaip explains that
the administration measure offered in
the name of help to the farmers is
really indirectly for the benefit Of the
large investors who are thereby Of
fered safe security at good rate of
interest, and can help no farmers ex-
cept large farmers who can already
receive accommodation from existing
banks. Congressman McSwain pro
poses by his bill, to provide financial
assistance at a rate Of interest not eX-
ceeding six per cent. per annum for
small farmers, even tenants, for the
purpose Of producing their crops and
marketing the same in an orderly
manner. And eventually, under his
system the rate OF interest would be
reduced, after several vars, to about
four per cent per annum. The bill is
very strict in prohibiting any indirect
device by way of fees or accommoda-
tion charges, or other ruse, for the
purpose of collecting greater rate OF
interest than six per cent. BY his
system the local bank would make two
per cent on the transaction and the
government would make four per cent
net because the government now has
the gold in the vaults which brings no
interest whatever. 1t is proposed to
use five hundred million dollars Of
tion Of such Federal reserve notes to
finance the farmers in producing crops
and live stock, and in addition to the
gold the reserve notes would have
back of them the notes Of the farm
ers secured by their crops and stock
and the endorsement OF the local
bank. The congressman argues that
there can be no better money in the
world than that which is backed by
both gold and commodities.
Congressman McSwain says that he
proposes to push his plan vigorously
when the House banking and currency
begins its hearings on rural
credits legislation, and since the con-
gressman has mailed large number
Of his bills to reputable farmers, bank
ers and f1nanciers in South Carolina,
he expressed the hope that they may
freely write him suggestions and criti-
cisms in order that the very best re-
suits may come out Of the discussion
