Soviet Institutions
 Suffer from Grafters

MOSCOW, Jan. 25,-Definite steps to stamp out corruption and bribery, which has assumed alarming propor- tions in Soviet institutions and state trusts as well as on railroads throughout Russia, have been taken by the Council of Labor and Defense. Special commissions have been ap- pointed to handle the investigations and prosecutions.
 In Moscow recently some 400 railroad employees were arrested, and 133 of them were tried for the improper handling of railroad pas senger tickets. An appeal has been issued to all citizens inviting them to give information regarding brib- cry and grating. and assuring in- formers of secrecy and protection.

BOYLE TO LEAVE
 FOR CONFERENCE
 WITH SECRETARY
Called to Washington by Fall for Conference-Here
 Since October.

Under teiegraphic instructions from Secretary Fall. George L. Boyle, in- spector for the Interior Department, will leave here on the next south bound steamer enroute to Washington for a conference with the Secretary. A statement to this effect was made by him today.
 While he declined to comment on the matter, it is believed that the conference will be on the Alaskan situation and may involve future pol icies of the Interior Department In the Territory This is indicated by the nature of the work Mr. Boyle has been doing since coming to Alas ka last October This has carried him into Interior districts, over yir- tually all of the Alaska railroad dis tricts, through the major portion or Southeastern Alaska, to nearby Brit ish Columbia points.
 Although he has not completed the program set for himself. which in- cluded visits to every judicial diyi- sion, it is believed that the Secre- tary desires 10 discuss the situation with him, as far as he has been able to study it this far, before retiring from office on March 4th, next. As far as can be learned, MT. Boyle has not attempted to make any study of the various bureaus or get their viewpoints, but has met and talked with men engaged in virtually all lines of endeavor mining men, both operators and miners. eannery opera tors and independent fishermen, saw mill operators. timbermen and log gers, merchants, bankers, and oth- CTS. From these he, apparently. has attempted to get the views of resi- dent Alaskans as to department poli- cies and Alaskan problems in which the Department of Interior is inter- ested
 He will probably leave early next week for Seattle and then direct for Washington. He expects that he will return here in a short time to complete the work assigned to him by the secretary.

Pacific Mining News Editor Says District Is of Much
 Importance.

That the Portland Canal mining district is becoming of serious in terest to mining men is indicated in two articles covering the district which appeared in recent numbers of the Pacific Mining News, the Pa cific Coast supplement 10 the Engin- eering x Mining Journal-Press, writ ten by George J. Young, editor of the supplement- In summarizing his impressions of the district MT. Young said: Although I had only q week available in the Portland Canal re- zion and necessarily could see only a small fraction of the area, It seemed to me thet here Is a potential and going mining district of e5nsid erable importance"

 Look for Rich Ores
 Commenting on the present stage of development, Mr. Young said:
 "The low grade disseminated ores of the region have not been success fully worked, although attempts have been made to do so. Such ores will, however. be worked in the future where they occur in deposits of suf' ficient size 10 warrant working on ia large scale. Just at present min ing men are interested in finding high-grade ores A relatively large number of discoveries of minor quantities of these ores, here and i there, has resulted in exploration work directed toward tho immediate purpose of opening up. if possible larger ore shoots The primary ores are, for the most part. relatively lean and unattractive although they have possibilities of wet concentra. tion and differential Notation. This would require extensive preliminary development and the expenditure ol relatively large amounts of capital for minirg, milling and power equip ment. The success of the Premiel has been due to the discovery of hlgh-grade ores conceded to be Of secondary origin. Mining men are looking for similar occurrences not only in the near vicinity of the Pre- mier, but at many points farther distant"
 Detailed Study Required
 In summarizing his study of the district MT. Young said: "Although had only a week available in the Portland Canal region and neeessar- ily could see only a small fraction of the area, it seemed to be that here is a potential and going mining district of considerable importance Deeper development and detailed study of the mineral deposits are es- sential before the commercial i'm portance of the different districts can be estimated.

YOUR SHARE

How much money do you make7 If your famllys IN
come is 1886 a year for each member of the family, you are
getting exactly your share (using simple arithmetic IN deter
mining the share). For the income of all the American peo-
pie combined now is around 10 billion dollars a year, or $685.
for every man, woman and child.
So claim the economists after studying the official records
Of the. Treasury Department for the fiscal year ended June 80.
The figure of $685., of course, is obtained by averaging
the incomes of everybody, all the way from Ford to Rookie
Teller down to the person who hasn't any income at all.
On this basis, to be doing just average well, a family con-
sistinc of husband, wife and three children should have an
income of $3.50 a year.
Some economists, however, believe that 70 billion dollars
is too high an estimate of the national yearly income. Their
opinions vary, down as low as 40 billions. Which would pull
the average persons income to about 1854 a year.
How much are you worth? If your family wealth is
more than $4,000 for each member of the family, you have
more than your arithmetical share.
For the treasury figures indicate that the entire national
wealth is equivalent to $4,000 for every man, woman and child.
If any American has a fortune of a billion dollars, he has
as much as the arithmetical share of 100000 average Amerl-
cans. Z
Let that sink in.
Our national wealth is ~mortgaged to the extent of SIP
for each of us, figuring on the basis of the national debt and
not including the 10 billion dollars or so that we loaned to
foreign governments incident to the war. Even II this big
sum never were paid back, it is just about balanced by Amer1-
can investments aboard.
This, then, is the financial condition of Mr.. Average Amer
lean. He apparently has an income of $685. a year. He is
worth $1,000. He is in debt, through his national govern
ment, $112.
Congress should keep these humble figures pasted on its
desks, for repeated reference when careless handling mil
lions.

DESERVE WHAT IS COMING TO THEM

The blowing up of a still in a cellar at Carteret brings to mind
a remark made by an official Of that borough recently that practi
caly everybody there had a still in his cellar. II that is the case,
ism it pretty nearly time a thorough housekeeping took place and
the town was rid of this lawlessness? Carteret has developed into
one of the most important municipalities in Middlesex county in a
comparatively few years, but II it can never command the respect
its position warrants, neither will it attract the kind Of people that
form the substantial element in a community as long as 1T be RS
such a reputation.
Perhaps something can be accomplished by making an EXAMPLE
Of the couple in whose basement the still exploded setting fire to
the house, yesterday morning. There seems to be sufficient evil
dence in this instance to secure conviction. There ought to be no
sympathy for these people who by renting out a part Of their
house to others, deliberately put other peoples lives in jeopardy
and endanger other peoples property. They deserve no conddera-
ton whatever, and it is to be hoped that the authorities of Car
teret will push this case with the idea of not only melting out
well deserved punishment to those who have deliberately violated
the law, but for the sake Of the good name of the borough which
is at stake in this matter.
