ELECTRIC RAILWAYS

EoItor OF Electric Railway Journal
Electric railway operations during

gross revenue for the industry de-.

$1,000 100000. The decrease IN Rross
revenue corresponds closely with the
decrease IN the number Of passengers
carried, as the average fare eh0red

penses were considerably lower due
chiefly to increased efficiency and scEoe
curtallment OF service, Wages re-
NAMED practically unchanged. The
economies effected; however, were not
sufficient to maintain net revenue nj

AT the beginning of the year the IN
dustry was planning to spend about
$S75,OOO,O00 in 1880 for extensions,
petterments and maintenance. AZ the
year progressed, however, It was neceE-
sary to curtail these plans .somewhat
Latest reports indicate Expenditures

The curtailment of expenditures was
most noticeable in purchase Of new

the year was the formation OF the

Gold Standard and Prices.
(NeW York World.)

The steady recession in commodity prices has started discussion of the gold standard which sometimes has the familiar ring of the 1890s Gold now in the days of the free-sver agitation is growing relatively scarcer; it's production is not keep ing pace with the growth of the worlds commerce.
 If for this reason gold becomes dearer, a dollar will buy than formerly, and this means that prices have declined.
 This matter has attracted attention in Europe than in the United States, possibly because Europe in returing to the gold standard has felt the pinch of a readjustment of prices to a gold basis Within the past five years about thirty na- tions have gone back to the gold standard, and they have been engaging in a scramble for gold for reserves against their credit currency This struggle at times has been provocative of much ill feeling, especially between France and Great Britain
 There seems to be no prospect that gold pro- duction will be increased immediately to meet this extraordinary demand Experts have been studying the problem under the auspices of the League of Nations and at the present meeting in Geneva they have submitted a preliminary report stating that while production may be increased slightly in the next few years the outlook thereafter is for a de- cline which may become very pronounced after 1940 If this forecast is correct, decline of prices for many years to is in prospect, unless in the meantime methods are devised to economize in the use ot gold as currency
 It would be a mistake to attribute the entire decline in prices since the World War to the hancement of the value of gold Some of it is mere
 " an after effect of the war itself result of peace time plenty after wartime famine. Some of it is due to new technical processes which have brought down costs and at times stimulated overproduction. In brief. there are many reasons for the decline of prices all over the world but among them the diminishing output of gold must have place
 The price situation today is not unlike that which has followed other great wars The recession after the Napoeonic not checked until gold was discovered in California and after the Civil War it not checked until new gold was found in Alaska and South Africa. After these two wars prices continued to decline for approximately three decades. Will history repeat itself? Or will new sources of gold be discovered this time? Or will new developments in credit and banking reduce the monetary demand for gold to minimum? Pro- phecy in this case is futile.

AN OPPORTUNITY THAT MUST NOT
 BE OVERLOOKED.

The Worlds Fair to be held in Chicago in l933 will be staged on scale surpassng it is said any thing of it's kind in the history of the world. The great midwestern metropolis has been laying it's plans arranging it's finances and otherwise getting in readiness now for almost two years.
 To it will come visitors from all parts of the globe millions of them intent viewing what Chicago has to offer in the way of education and entertainment This will constitute of the finest media of advertising Alaska that will be available in generation It should not be overlooked, or regarded lightly.
 It is gratifying that the Federal Government, through the Department of Interior is at this early date making tentative plans for an Alaska exhibit The Territory should be represented by a comprehensive display that will give some concep-
 on of its vastness. the variety and extent Of its industry and it's resources particular attention being given those capable of sound economic develop ment It is right that the Federal Government should take the lead in this matter since it owns more than 98 per cent. of all the land area and most of the resources of the Territory Its financial outlay should not be niggardly, but adequate to furnish representative and comprehensive exhibit. Undoubtedly Gov. Parks, who will have charge of the plans will insist upon this
 But it should not be left entirely to the Ma tional authorities to do all the work Alaskans, through their Chambers of Commerce and other civic and service organizations, do much to assist and can, of course, be depended on to CO., operate with the Governments agents in every pos sible way The more than two years to elapse before the great exposition is not any too long for us to make the showing that ought to- and probably will be made.

FOOTBALL. PUZZLES CONGRESS.

With football again attracting nationwide atten- ton the athletic break between the Military Acad- emy at West Point and the Naval Academy at An napolis is revived a subject of discussion. The game between the service schools always the most colorful of grdiron contests even if only oc- casionally important factor in determining col legate championship honors It was an event un- rivalled in many respects among feats of physical prowess The annual struggle witnessed by the President, his Cabinet officers and host of lesser personages in official life; by leaders in the social world and by foremost figures in the realm of great wealth.
 Too often the competing teams were far from evenly matched. Except infrequently the Army held the advantage in weight and strength. There's the rub The Navy does not fancy sacrificing itself to make holiday.
 The cause of the disparity is basic. It is due to the age entrance limitations of the two schools. Eighteen and 22 years the minimum and maxi mum for West Point and these bring to it sea- soned football warriors from other institutions of higher learning Sixteen and 20 the restrictions at Annapolis and these in almost all preclude admission there of star players from State and private universities.
 The Military Academy persists in it's refusal to adopt the three-y eligibility rule. The Army eleven is the only of any distinction that en- lists members with than three years of college experience. All efforts to lnduee west Polnt to accede to the three-year regulation to persuade Annapolis to ignore the disadvantage imposed by it's service rival have proved futile.
 The dispute may result in a Congressional in quiry Of course disagreement over football may not itself be of sufficient importance to command the consideration of national lawmakers, but the difference in the age entrance limitations of the two academies is worthy of the best thought of the august statesmen.
 Aside from a few courses, both schools pursue similar currculums and the studies of each require exceptional diligence if not exceptional talent. IT such institutions, according to many eminent educa tors the older military cadets more capable o inbibing the higher learning than the younger naval midshipmen.
 The naval limitations were fixed when the prac- tice was common to begin training at an early agt boys who aspred to sea careers either on war el merchant ships The original reasons for the rult may no longer obtain, but other considerations now favor the old tradition The younger the age of th' Annapolis graduate the better chance he has o attaining by the process of seniority advancement the highest rank or of the highest ranks be- fore enforced retirement. Promotion in the Navy is said to be slower than in the Army. Accordingly the naval service opposes raising age entrance re- ouiremcnts at Annapolis while the military service

 Judge MackntoshS recently declared determna- ton to get to the intimate nsides of the Pro- hibtion law and make report thereon is hailed quite cheerily by Time; but when that magazine attempts to tell who Judge Macintosh is it gets him badly confused with the late Judge Wallace MacCamant of Oregon Times yarn takes Judge Macintosh off the supreme bench of this State and sends him a delegate to the Republican National Convention of 192O has him bring about the nomination of Calvin Coolidge for Vice-Presi- dent; has him later nominated by President Coolidge for place on the Federal circuit bench only to be defeated by the machinations of Senator Hiram Johnson; and somehow gets him back on the State supreme bench in time to be taken therefrom to serve on the Law Enforcement Commission All of the political part of this yarn of course, pertains to Judge MacCamant; and Judge Mackin- tosh as everyone should know had resigned from the State bench months before President Hoover called him to the service he is giving Ex- cept for the incidental tribute it pays to Judge Mackntoshs robust character the article in Time 1 is almost wholly and quite unaccountably in error

JUDAS VS. JESUS
CASE YET SUBJECT
OF CONTROVERSY

Absolute disbelief in the theory
that Judas Iscariot did not betray
Christ for 80 pieces of silver but
tried by strategy to have Jesus
crowned King of the Jews, as ex-
pressed by H. E. Won Kalinowski,
German authority on the Bible.
was voiced by heads of the Nor
mon church here today.
"The theory expressed by Won
Kalinowski is an old German idea,
first taught, to my knowledge, SO
years ago." DR.. James E. Talmage
apostle and historian of the church
said.
"Judas may have had in mind
placing Jesus as King of the Jews,
but If so it was a secondary thot
as he might have been seeking an
office under the leadership OF
Christ. When Jesus was bathed
with oil by Mary, sister of Laza.
reth and Martha, Judas complained
of the waste and asked why they
did not sell the oil and put the
proceeds in the bag that was in
his keeping"
Joseph Anderson, secretary IL
President Heber J. Grant, agreed
with DR.. Talmage, and said that
although it was possible that Juda.
has done as Won Kalinoswki sug
gested, it was not probable because
Judas had been seeking gold dur.
ing his entire time in office as an
Apostle.

BORAH ASKS REDS
TOAD In SEARCH
FOR LOST BRDMEN

Washington, Dec. PA direct
request to the Soviet government
for aid in rescuing Ben Eielson, the
American aviator, lost for SIX
weeks on the ice off the coast of
Siberia, has been made by Chair
man Borah of the senate foreign
relations committee.
The request was made yesterday
in a cablegram to M. Litvinoff, act
ing secretary OF foreign affairs, at
the request of Mrs. Mabel Walker
Willebrandt, former assistant at
toney general in charge of prohi-
bition enforcement and now coun-
sci for the aviation corporation
which employed Eielson and his
mechanic, Carl Borland.
Senator Borah said today his
cablegram was sent independently
of the action taken yesterday by
Secretary Wilbur who appealed to
the Soviet government for aid in
the rescue work.
