Decline of the Village.
(Daily Olympian.l

(Daly OlymplanJ
 The present apparently is going to show a few things about the mysterious course our nation is taking.
 Nothing that the enumerators have turned up so far has been as interesting their disclosure that the small town of the Middle West seems to be heading for oblivion.
 Nearly 60 per cent of the small towns counted in Illinois and Indiana showed marked decline in population during the last 10 years. Some have been abandoned altogether and even those that have increased in size increasing less rapidly than the normal birth increase. In adjacent States the same tendency is noticed
 The small town evidently, is going the way of the one-horse shay. For generations it was perhaps the most purely American thing the continent. Now it is going. The census of 1940 undoubtedly, will show it's decline carried still further.
 A good many things to blame The auto mobile and the hard-surfaced highway probably head the list. They have freed the farmer of his de- pendence the crossroads store, the village doctor, the diminutive country bank and the small town professional man. Movies radios and daily papers probably have played a part too. The rural hamlet, in other words. has outlived much Of it's usefulness. People no longer need it as they once did
 This change indicates a shift in a basic part lof American life. These rural villages would not be dwinding unless some very profound change were coming over us. Our pouation seems to be getting centralized; yet, at the same time, it is altogether impossible just now to tell what the final result will be- Will all, eventually, be grouped into big ctiesP will the cities in their turn, begin to split up improvement in trans portaton continues so that suburban villages will lie scattered over 10O-mile radius? Either thing can happen; it will be years before what it is to be.
 Meanwhile let's not shed too many tears over the passing of the small town-if as the figures seem to indicate, it really is passing Life in the small town quite dyllic often suppose The small town had a way of breeding provincialism and narrowness It had no slums but it cramped many life quite effectively a crowded city tenement district. We may not be losing quite much think
 At any rate for better for worse changing. Modern life is setting high way and is wise enough to say where lit will lead We are in the midst of tremendous lre-a arrangement. The census figures can only give Jus glimpse at few of its major tendencies.

SELL ALASKA TO THE THE UNITED
 STATES.

Russia it is true did sell Alaska to the United States and it is part and parcel of country. In fact there are those like Stewart Edward Whte who argue that Alaska belongs to America at large rather than to Alaskans and, of course, there IS some justification for that contention To the extent that every citizen is a stockhoder in the United States he is also holder of Alaska securities That applies alike to those who continue to reside m the States and to the citizens who have moved to the Territory. There is one major distinction pe- tween the two classes of stockholders-resdent and nonresident The latter is undertaking to make profitable his holdings in the Territory and in so doing necessarily must enhance the stock of the latter class.
 Thus when the nonresident stockhoder moves to curb the the ground in his endeavors to make Alaska going concern, he acts to his own disadvantage. He fails to realize that when he de- nes others the opportunity of developing the country he is hurting his interests as much as that of any other stockholder Not being the ground himself to participate in development. there is no way in which he obtain even interest on his investment without considering any retirement of the capital expenditures, except to let those who here go ahead with the development To adopt a policy that would estop all development would be as if the stockholders of any industrial concern should board up its plant. keep it's plant personnel within the doors and still expect that enterprise to be self sustaining. The foly of It IS easily apparent
 Alaska needs first of all to resell itself to its nonresident stockholders Canada has been more successful in that line than has this Territory. Recently published statistics revealed that United States capitalists have invested more than sS3oo- 100000 in Canadian enterprises And that is because Canada has been able to interest United States capitalists in the great natural lying idle awaiting the coming of money and men to be de- veloped The Canadian viewpoint of these invest ments is put into words by E. w. Beatty, Pres- dent of the Canadian Pacific Railway, follows
 It is not penetration to which Can
 adians object, because 1t only helps to &C.,
 complsh that which they all desire to see
 accomplished, namely safe, sound and order
 ly development of its resources and expan-
 sion of its industries We cannot very well
 object if you share our opinion of Canaca's
 future, and as are ourselves contribut-
 ing to it in a larger from year
 to year we may. I think, properly regard
 ourselves as partners in very sound Can
 adian enterprise.
 That is the kind of attitude should like to see the United States adopt more generally toward Alaska If Americans, the nonresident members of the Alaska corporation, should to a realiza- tion that they partners in the business that the enterprise has all of the necessary clements ducing greater returns in the future than has been done in the past there would be less talk of bear, fish and other reservations and more of ways and of developing all of natural resources.

The President Should Veto the Tariff Bill.
Boston Transcript

In other way Senatorial tariff making of the last ten months be given that smashing rebuke it deserves except by veto of the bill if it is found to bear such earmarks have been put upon it lately. We do not refer to specific items but rather to method which have place in inteli gent and honest legislation. Blocs have succeeded one another and the unrestrained play of selfish ness and of petty politics exhibited has dscredted legitimate protection until the whole system has become endangered and be redeemed only by the heroic treatment of repudiaton of the con- spirators and their works by the White House, as they already have been condemned by the people. s With individualism mad Capitol Hill fled a hundred degrees by the misrepresentatves ton at its best President Hoover cannot afford to put the stamp of his approval upon the product
 The country is protectionist but it is reasonable. It seeks undue advantages from legislation and it depises the log-rolling methods by which ex- travagant duties have been voted into the bill or needed protection has been refused through the same tactics The country, in fact. not clam bring for tariff revision when the President called the special session. and it had the right to expect quick action upon limited number of items and early adjournment Public sentiment prepared to grant although with reluctance, most ot the advances the West desired but this rather for the reason that it wanted the tariff out of the way and other important legislation considered than that it believed changes in the rates were necessary Congress however undertook task 1t had not been called upon to perform and it did it's work so badly as to bring discredit upon both parties.

RITCHIE MAY SEEK FOURTH TERM.

Gov. Albert c. Ritchie, mentioned two years ago Democratic Presidential possibility in 1928, is being urged to run for fourth consecutive term as Chief Executive of Maryland, and has indicated that he is not averse to the proposal As he viewed the matter he why the fact he has occupied the office ten years should curtal his right to again be candidate Political observers gen. erally agree that this means he will run.
 And why shouldn't he? Opposition to it is largely based silly claim that he has occupied the gubernatorial chair long enough and it is time he stepped aside for someone else. There is no dis position to criticse the administration he has given Maryland, and displeasure with his policies gen. orally Simply a manifestation by some politicians for change And that is not ground for dis missal of a public servant of such high caber as Gov. Ritche has proven himself to be.

Seattle Inspector Compli- ments Fire Department
 on Its Efficiency

Praise for it's efficiency was be- slowed on the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department last night by K. IN. Withers, inspector for the Seattle branch of the Pacific Coast Ad- justment Bureau here in connec- ton with the recent Seward Street fire that wiped out the Malony Block
 Although it wasn't necessary for him to come to Juneau to become aware of the departments capa- .bility, what he had seen on Sew ard Street in the fire zone was convincing proof that the depart ment knew it's business and was a credit to the town, he said. MT. Withers was a guest of the Depart ment at it's regular meeting last night.
 Next Monday evening the Fire men will turn out to get the base ball grounds in readiness for the seasons opening games on May 10, it was decided last night. All Fire men are requested to be on hand at that time.
 Playground equipment formerly installed on the capital site, and removed when Xcavation was started there, will be put in by the Department on the vacant lot be- tween Third and Fourth streets, just opposite the Post Office, it was announced last night. B. M Behrends, owner of the property, has offered the Department free use of the lot for that purpose.

DON'T EXPECT TOO MUCH FROM YOUR

The greatest virtue of an antiseptic mouth wash is to leave a pleasant taste in the mouth say officials of the Food. Drug, and Insecticide Admin istration United States Department of Agriculture. following campaign during which more than 1000 supposed antseptc preparations found in import and interstate trade were tested by Government chemists and bacteriologists. Less than 100 bore labels to which no exception was taken by the department
 Two preparations actually contained living bac- tera and tests revealed that many others would not kill or prevent germ growth Of the effective antiseptics some found to claim unwarranted curative effect for such diseases influenza bron- chitis. stomach ulcers, dysentery tuberculosis and appendicitis.
 The campaign has been successful in that it has removed from most labels all unjustifed claims preparation not be called antiseptc unless it has germ inhibting ability Even preparations which are antiseptic not properly be labeled recalls
 To inform the buyer of the methods of un- scruplous manufacturers who still attempt to sell fake preparations through extravagant advertising or label claims. the Department of Agriculture has issued a booklet entitled Fake Antiseptcs and the Law" This publication tells the truth about antiseptic lotions. ointmens and powders as found by Government scentists.

GOO. There would be about 1000 miles of new road before the system would reach a point on the Richardson Highway, Grund Ter.
 Major Elliott was pleased to find in the Fairbanks district an excellent road condition and said he had been informed that the Richardson Highway was all So in excellent shape. Another year will see the completion of the last Is miles of road in Mo Kinley Park; to Mile 68. near Mount Eielson. The road is now usable to Mile 52

 Major Elliott stated that the unemployment situation in Alas ka was less acute than in the States.
 Referring to the Seward break water he said he was sorry to report that the bill just signed by the President does not carry the actual appropriation for the project but merely puts in or der for such an appropriation which he trusts will be in the near future. He sees no reason but what it will be finished in due time.
 He was glad to note the Low ell Creek Hume is functioning in good order and feels danger from 1lod waters has thus been elimi- hated.
 In ending Major Elliott ex- pressed very forcibly that his department was just as much interested in this area of Alaska IS any other agency

TESS FOR BORAH
AS DRY QUIZ HEAD
Ohio Senator's Suggestion
Features Prohibition En-
forcement Discussion.

Another development in the discus
sion over prohibition enforcement was
the suggestion advanced yesterday oy
Senator Tess, Republican, Of Ohio, that
Senator Borah, Republican, OF 1daho,
be made chairman of the joint congress
sional committee to be set up as soon as
Congress returns to study reorganlzatlon
of dry enforcement activities.
Senator Borah has taken leaolng
part in criticising present enforcement
conditions. The Senate just before the
Christmas recess acted on the resolu-
ton for the appointment OF the proposed
committee.
The proposed committee, already
sanctioned by the Senate, Is expected
to receive House approval shortly after
the recess ends, and Senator F'esS indi-
Gated 1t would be appointed with an
Injunction to make quick report, since
any reorganization plan it deViseS must
be authorized before appropriations are
made.
What is to be done about industrial
alcohol continued today to be regarded
as one of the gravest problems ahead
of the administration and OF Congress
in the reorganization situation. Senator
Borah has declared the administration
of the permit system aaS to industrial
alcohol was scandal" and he indi-
Gated today that the more he looked into
it the more serious he was convinced it
was. The law enforcement committee
also regards it as serious. Talk is heard
that the administration has new plan
of dealing with industrial alcohol, but
the details have not become known.
Dry Senators who are urging the re-
moval of Andrew w. Mellon as Secre-
tary of the Treasury have made it plain
they will insist on transfer of the con-
troll of industrial alcohol to the Depart
ment of Justice along with all the rest
Of the enforcement machinery.
