UTILIZING RESOURCES

"Why should ship in all our own timber for the uses Of the Alaska Railroad if we have available timber here? Why should Alaska coal and produce be shipped North from Seattle when have plenty to ship South?"
 General Manager Otto F. Ohlson of the Alaska Rail- road voiced his appreciation of two problems that have been facing for years and of which he has just had chance to gain knowledge.
 AS he talked, he pounded the desk of the Seward Gateway until it almost gave way "m for utilization of Alaska resources he said "usng all the money that can get to spend for Aaskans Alaskan enterprises
 Tn the matter of the timber from which believe
 ln the matter of coal have found that we have as good coal as IS needed anywhere and whole lot of it bet r than is marketed but find that the method of min- Ing and transportation to market is all that could be desired because is crumbed up too much in shoot ing out of the veins and further crumbled in trans oe,4y u ain to ship and off again That is mat ter that must be looked into in the hope that solution can be reached"
 Mr. Ohlson said that his earnest idea was coopera- 0n from Alaskans in several important things possible Of achievement if everybody got behind to keep up the progress wagon moving.
 We give you two guesses where that funny crack originated made in Montana the other day by Indian to Al Smith We have thus far failed to any suffering Indians in Alaska and that alleged cannery monopoly is old that it rather smells.

With country offerings of domestic
corn virtually zero, smallness of world
shipments of corn gave emphasis to
trade reports indicating European
scarcity of feed, with demand now
turning to oats as well as to corn.
Argentine corn was talked of as prac-
tically exhausted, and the new Argen-
tine crop unavailable for some time
yet. Under such circumstances bulls
in the corn market here swept every
thing before them today, and forced
into execution many standing orders
which previous sellers had given to
buy at various set limits to put stop
to losses.
Wheat and rye together with oats
and barley accompanied the upward
swing of corn. Wheat was influenced
too by falling off in wheat shipments
from Austria, $4,000 bushels for the
week, against 2,296,O0O bushels the
week before.
Foreign buying of lard gave inde-
pendent strength to the provision mar

Unjustified Comment.
Boston News Bureau.)

Our National Government has frequently been criticized for too great an interference "llh business. In the actions of the Federal Trade Board, the United States Shipping Board, the Interstate Commerce Commission and the Federal Reserve Board, almost every capitastic interest in the United States has at one time another felt the drag of Government control on private economic problems
 Now Secretary of Agriculture Jardine is credited with statement concerning price or wheat The following is sent from Chicago:
 Hold your wheat" the advice
 of Secretary Jardine in statement di-
 rected to farmers who have been hard
 hit in recent years "There is no sound
 economic for depressed wheat
 prices" adding that when wheat is
 poured upon the market immediately
 after a harvest, the natural effect is
 to depress prices, but that this year not
 only domestic but world markets indicate
 that better prices will come if those
 farmers who equipped to do so do
 not rush their wheat to market
 Such statement, if substantiated, is totally uncalled for and utterly unjustifed. MT. Jardine should remember that, when he speaks, his words are the words of the Secretary of Agriculture. The duties of the Department of Agriculture are to assemble and disseminate facts and figures, not to give out opinions to the proper price for particular commodities. It's function is to report, not to predict.
 It might have been thought that the Depart ment of Agriculture would take to heart the year ago, when it issued price forecast on cctton,-a prediction which caused sharp de- cline in the cotton markets
 Fortunately the wheat market took the state ment a purely political move, and showed no tendency to act on the Secretary's opinion. But attempt to mix politics with their official func- tions

many would have accepted either stetson or Shepard.
 It during this experience in the Legis- Iature that MT. Roosevelt came to admire and respect the ability, eonseientiousness and pro- gressive spirit of Alfred E. Smith, Democratic Speaker of the House, and Senator Robert F. Wagner Democratic leader of the Senate Before the end of the session, MT. Roosevelt found him self working often with the Tammany mem bers than otherwise. And, he saw Tammany accepting progressive and forward-ooking leader ship. he, nearly all the other New York inde- pendent and progressive spirits, found it easy to march in step with Tammanyites He supported Al Smith for Governor in 1918 and for Presi- dent in 1920, 1924 and 1928. For years there has been little conflict between New Yorks Civic Union leaders and Tammany--the New Tammany," the New York World and New York Times bitter foes of the Tammany of Croker.

Why Should Stamps Be Flimsy?
(New York Times. )

Without raising question of partisan politics, the charge may be echoed that the quality of paper used for postage stamps has deteriorated in the last few years. Whatever the cause our postage stamps today are flimsy that it is difficult to remove one from a sheet of stamps without tearing it the face.
 The fault cannot lie altogether with the paper makers, it is still possible to obtain thin paper of tough quality. Certainly the Government gains nothing by selling stamps which frequently torn in two in the pro- cess of detaching them.
 Presumably the explanation will be made officially that the quality of the stamps, like the quality of the Winters of long ago. is un- changed. It will be said that just as we re- member only the years of heavy snow and great blizzards, we remember only those stamps which did not pull apart before being glued
 If, however, it should turn out that the quality of paper has been eheapened in the in terest Of economy, we only suggest that each Of the Presidential candidates be pledged to see to 1t, immediately upon accession to the White House, that the quality of paper-and gue-of the stamps be at once improved SD that letter writers will not be forced to waste time and energy attaching torn portions of stamps to envelopes.

 MT.
