The Chamber of Commerce has sent a telegram to President Harding urg- ing the appointment of a western man who will work for the constructive development of Alaska, as Secretary of the Interior. At the same time the Chamber asked Tacoma, Portland, San Francisco and Los Angeles to join in the movement for the appoint ment of a western man. Wires to various Alaska commercial bodles brought replies asking the Chamber to take leadership in the effort to get a Secretary of the Interior who will work for the development of the Territory. The telegram to President Harding, among other things says: "It is our settled conviction, after con- sultation with the people of Alaska and a study of the entire question py our Alaska committee, that the Fed eral Government should commence the active development of Alaska now steps be taken to open up the Terrl- tory. that suitable roads and trails and other means of transportation De nroyided for general development ana as feeders to the Government railway and that at present mineral laws or the Territory be not disturbed"

Don't Kid Yourself.

1t is common to hear the express
sion, Il won't build now as cost of
construction is too high"
Incomes are as much higher in pro-
portion today as is cost of construc-
tion and the man who uses his head
and does not demand every newfangled
tontraption that an architect or con-
tractor. can propose for his house, can
build with his presentday income and
have larger margin left than would
have been possible in 1913.
Don't blame the present building
costs entirely on to lumber and labor.
ten your ideas of what you want have
expanded with your income and you
would not be satisfied today with the
1913 bungalow.
Taxes at 500, insurance at $50, re-
pairs and upkeep at 500 and per
cent interest on 5000 house
amounts to $3.50 year.
If you pay $50 month rent for
nine years you have S54OO worth of
rent receipts worth nothing. If you
put $50 month into home for nine
years, even if it was necessary to cut
out few theatre parties or clothes to
make up interest, etc, until the prop
erty was paid for, you would have an
asset worth probably more than s5400
at the end of nine years and your fam
lily would have roof over its head
which could not be taken away from
them for failure to pay months rent.
Don't kid yourself, you can own u
home as well today as you could ten
years ago if you want to. 1t is not
the cost of building that will prevent
you, it is the cost of satisfying your
inflated demands for luxuries and
modern extravagances that prevents
most people from building.

Heavy Hopper Infestation Indicated
By Conditions.

All indications point to the conclus-
ion that Colorado is in for grass
hopper year" in many sections of the
state. This is due to the fact that dur
ing last season a great many local,
small infestations were reported from
a large majority of our agricultural
regions. Last fall the long period of
open, warm weather gave ideal condi-
tions for maximum egg deposition.
Females were laying eggs for about
three months with little climatic in
reference. Also, parasites were less
numerous than usual.
1t is possible that Dame Nature may
yet spare us a heavy outbreak of
'hoppers. Spring weather conditions
may destroy many immature forms.
Then we can always hope for an early
enough rise of parasites to check a
serious infestation.
The most important thing the farm
er can do at this time is to watch for
the Matching 'hoppers. If all the in
festations are located early and action
taken before crops are attacked, the
problem is not serious one to handle.
The Entomology Department of the
College will welcome any information
regarding conditions and the oppor-
tunity of service to the farmers of the
state.-C. L. Corkins, Deputy State
Entomologist, Colorado Agricultural
College.

Ad Nauseam.

A Pennsylvania bishop, recently re
turned from trip to the Near East,
describes conditions as deplorable and
as demanding Americas aid. Not a
word about aid from Europe, particu-
larly Great Britain and France, the
very countries responsible for the con-
ditions. Americans are tired of see
ing wars caused by European intrigue

The Saar basin is under the techni-

WASHINGTON NOTES
Hold Your Nose.

The inside story OF the workings of
the Emergency Fleet Corporation, dur
ing the war, has never been told. Eff
torts by means Of u Congressional in
vestigation seemed likely to bring out
the iacts Two or three years ago, but
when the trial got too hot and seemed
likely " lead to some distinguished
higher ups, the proceedings were
abandoned short OF full disclosure. The
details of the means by which the
democratic administration managed
to spend SO much money and get such
small results are still mystery. But
the Morse trial bids fair to shed some
illuminating light on the whole dis
graceful undertaking. The attorney
for Morse recently blamed the troubles
OF his client largely upon Charles
Piez, then head OF the Fleet Corpora
tion, who, he says, refused to loan
his client S750,00O. Piez was evident
ly trying to protect the public treas
ury, as he should have done. Incident
ally, it may be remarked that Piez is
and was u Republican. Perhaps his
efforts to protect the public funds ex-
plain why he was at the head of the
corporation for SO short a time. At
any rate, man like Morse criticizing
Piez for refusing to loan S75O,OOO of
government funds will not hurt the
reputation of Piez in the least.

The fact that Great Britain may
have been handed mandate to some
of the territory included in the Ches-
ter concession cannot disturb the val

Another Achievement.

Recognition of Mexico is likely to
be added to the record of achievement
of the Harding administration. Def
mite steps in that direction have been
taken with the appointment of two
special American ENJOYS who will pro
ceed to Mexico City as the guests of
the Mexican government, and nego-
tiate with President 0bregon and his
representatives on future relations
with the United States. Adequate
guarantees of American property
rights are all that is needed to assure
recognition, and the problem is to Sc
cure those guarantees without offense
to the sensitive Latin-American mind.
The Atlanta Constitution wants to
know why Georgia is far behind other
states in support of schools, higher
education, good roads and public in
stitutions. Well, that is a big ques-
ton, but perhaps one explanation is
that no man will be listened to for Il
moment in Georgia public affairs un-
less he is Democrat.
