mary topics of banking and ralroading.
 The refutations are addressed to three Sen ators who have been very volube on such topics, ,--Brookheart, Shpstead and Capper.
 Brookheart, ,-who currently announces in tent to "get after" stock dividends on the ground that they are "melons, ,'-has been talking much about Wall Street domination Of the Federal reserve system and about de- prival of credit to the Northwest. But bank CTS from his own state pertinently point out that the share of reserve system credit, ac- cordne to assets, that would be apportionable
 10 454 member banks in Iowa was $37 ,5O0,O0O; las matter of fact, they got $9O000,000. Brook heart probably never bothered to read about the shifting of Federal reserve rediscounts within the system.
 Shipstead said freight rates more than ab- sorbed all the value of sheep sent to market But President Feton of Chicago Great West ern proves by the cold figures that rates amount to only from two and one-half per cent to ten and one-half per cent of the mar ket value Shipstead said the trainoad is ten times what is was 20 years ago, despite Ca great labor cost reduction per ton.'' Fe1ton points out the train1oad increase is twice. not ten times, as much; and that labor cost per ton has not fallen but has risen-from 4.15 to 9.02 mills per mile, and so on.
 Senator Capper. depending on an ''expert' witness before the Commerce Commission, re peated the assertion that extra maintenance above previous year spent by Atchson was about $11 ,000,000 President Storey points out that after necessary readjustments under Commerce Commission bookkeeping require mcnt and allowance for strike expense the real figure was $1 5OO,OOO-whch itself was needed to get facilities in shape to handle greatly increased business.
 What President Storey says the Senator should do applies to many of these imaginative atlsticlans-'rely V on more accurate statistics if he expects his arguments to have weight '

EUROPEAN LOGIC

As curious specimens of logic, some of the arguments advanced for the purpose of in voiving the United States in purely European affairs ought to have a place in comic ttreatisc on metaphysics. The French spokes- men argue - You American saved us from destruction by Germany; now 1t is your duty to guard us for all future time. On the same line of reasoning if one man saves another from drowning, it becomes his duty to serve as a protector and supporter of the unfortu- nate all the rest of his life. Recently the intcynationalists have tried to induce the United States to say just how much repara- tions Germany should pay. If they succeeded
 in this, their step in propaganda would be the advancement of the theory that since the United States set the amount of the reDara- tions it is the duty of the United States to sec that it is paid.
 British newspapers have recently explained the rapid increase in the value of the British pound sterling by saying that Britain's Gin visible eXports' more than counterbalanco her imports of commodities, and her merchant marine income is cited as one important item in this invisible source of national income Undoubtedly the explanation is sound. The United States is contributing very largely to that portion of British income by failing t. maintain an adequate merchant marine under the American flag.

FRIDAY, FEBRUARY ?, 1923
SEASON OF BUSINESS PROPERTY

Selecting as gauge the period of normalcy following immediately after the maj oper- atnnG in the construction of the Alaska Rail road. when employment of labor was at It's peak and conditions more or less ab- normal, the coming spring and summer bids fair to be set down as the beginning of an era of prosperity unapproaoched heretofore. These assumptions are based upon the sub stantal permanent enterprises that are mak- ing their appearance with the opening of the summer season. Among these are: The open ing of the Moose Creek coal fields; the oper- ation of the Evan Jones coal mine; the en- trance of additional capital into Willow Creek, including the recent purchase of bond on the Mablc group by the Kcnnecott Copper Corporation, and the Fern Gold Mining Com pany, which starts it's mill in the spring; the deor-leva tunnels being run by the Gold Bullion Company and the Kelly Mines Com ranv, the inauguration of development by the Home Builders Company and number of other promising prospects.
 Added to this roseate outlook for develop ,nont in this immediate district is the an nouncement of the acquisition of big copper holdings in the Kantsha district by the Cue genheims. This latter deal carries with # immense possibilities, in that it presages the forthcoming of a smelter or reduction works somewhere along the Alaska Railroad. While this is speculative. it assumes an clement of vcritv in it's necessity for the development of base ore deposits.
 With this additional caDtal coming into the railroad belt comes the promise that all labor will be employed and that with each step of development will come greater dem"pd for commerce and labor. creating a rcvo1vin@ situation altogether acceDtablo
 Colonel Mears announces fear of the rail road being swamped with tourist traffic. which again adds to the optimistic outlook for a prosperous season.
 Cropping area around Anchorage will be double that of last season, and with this growth of home production larger volumes of capital will be kept at home. Taken all in all. the outlook is very roseate.-Anchorago Times.

FIGURES CAN'T LIEF"

The old adage about the converse to the non ivi'" nature of figures @ets often exemplified t1ose days. All sorts of apostles of economic ss well as political nheaval have developed an almost passionate fondness for statistics of sort They start with premises of theory that are far from orthodox; these thev but tress with "statistics' even queerer still. It seems so profound and authoritative. Labor union "experts' set the fashion; now the new brand of western statesmen follow it. Much of their gospel is economic; a statistical ac- compartment sets off the tune.
 But they will persist in straying from the key of accuracy. They intone startling state ments of what they assert to be alarming fact. No matter at all if readily available data quite contradict the inference It is so easy either to ignore criticism or to shift ground little But can such distortion of fact permanently avail if the critics will but keep pounding away at exposure?
 Two or three such exposures, all in the western part of the country where free-handed figuring seems in fashion, have occurred in the past few days. They pertain to the custo

A prominent college professor wants Ca suspension of all tariffs the world over for five years," He has the unanimous approval of the cheap labor of Europe and Asia which would like to market it's products in the United States whether the American workman has 9 job or not. Why doesn't the professor get out and run for Congress upon program of throwing down the bars for the admission of the products of cheap labor from every where in the world? He would find that the same voters who believe in keeping out cheap labor also believe in restricting the mporta- ton of products of cheap labor.

In the midst of talk of forcing railroads to merge into systems in order to promote econ omy and efficiency of operation, two import ant mergers are under way through the in itiative of owners of the roads, This is the proper method It is not at all likely that any Government tribunal, ignorant of the practical problems of railroading, could make an arbitrary merger that would be as satis factory and successful as a merger worked out by railroad owners and managers who best understand the natural channels of trade and can work out the best schemes for the handling of freight with the least loss of time and the smallest cost of operation.

WINTER

WINTER
 The shoulders of the hills are bent
 By heavy packs of drifted snow; The glaciers that the frost has sent,
 Have silvered mirror lakes aglow. It is the time for winter sports,
 For skates and sleds and slender
 skis,
 For brave assaults on frozen ports
 And for the bathroom pipes to
 freeze.
