BY LESLIE GOULD

The Farm Board Is down to its
last $40, 200, 900 or so, but your
Uncle Sam is going to take care
Of that.
The board is to be given an
other $1OO,OO0.o0O, which will
bring the total cash paid out tc
it by Congress to $4O0,000,O00.
'There Is too much disturb
ance In the world for the
board to be short Of money"
says Alexander Leg0e, chair
man Of the board.
The board is not going to cor
ner the wheat market Of thu
world, but 1t will continue "indef
initely," Mr.. Legge says, to buy
wheat in its campaign to prevent
q break in prices.
Fine for Farmer
The board now holds 100000.
900 bushels Of wheat, on which
it has a pretty substantial paper
loss at current prices. It has
turned the American wheat mar
ket into a purely local affair
May wheat Is selling in this
country around 81 cents q bUshel
while in Winnipeg May Is quoted
around 81 cents a buShel.
This is fine for the farmer
now, but whether it is worth 1t
at the price Of Americas world
wheat trade is something else
again. Russia, Canada and the
Argentine are all too glad to get
a slice Of the world wheat trade
that in the past has gone to the
American wheat farmer.
Obviously, the American Wheat
market cannot compete in foreign
fields with grain selling Is to IL
cents a bushel more in Chicago
This put the entire task Of cras'
ing the large American wheat sur
plus on the American consuming
public.
Coolidge Helps Out
The situation is being helped
some by the feeding OF wheat to
livestock. Patriotic Americans like
Calvin Coolidge are doing their
bit by eating wheat breakfast
food, but this is kind Of rough on
the makers Of other kinds Of
breakfast foods.
Apropos Of this farm relief, the
head Of one Of our larger rail
roads remarked to me:
Everything goes to the
farmer in this country"
He was kind Of down in the
mouth about his own industry,
which is crying for relief from
taxes and bus, inland waterway
and pipeline competition.
In contrast to the $500, ,0O0, 600
already expended by the Farm
Board, and the other 500, 900. 900
which, in all likelihood, soon will
be handed out, is the request Of
$50, ,000, 900 for the relief Of un-
employment.

Steel Perks Up

There is a bit better feeling in
the street about the steel in
dustry. Independents in the
YOUNGSTOWN area have increased
sheet production 10 per cent.
This is taken as an indication
that the recent price increases
are bringing in more business.
Continuation of the latter will
counter-balance depressing factors
such as lower production during
the holiday period ahead. Buy
ing of the leading steel stocks
has been better in the last two
days. In some quarters demand
for big steel is considered an
effort to steady the market. But
other good buying is taking place
in this issue. Bethlehem is also
giving evidence of steady absorp-
tion around the go level. No one
questions the safety Of United
States Steel'S dividend. AS for
Bethlehem, even a cut to 81
would give good return at cur
rent levels.

Walstein G. Smith is rather proud of the fact that he has been able to hold thes office of Treasurer of the Territory for the past seventeen vars. And he, possibly, has reason to be, for few men could have held on so long during both Democratic and Republican administrations. He has always been appointed by the Governor, a Federal official who was able to select a Trea- Surer for the Territory.
 Governors have told the Trea- surer how to run his office and where to place the funds of the

salary of $5,0O0 per annum, he certainly won't be delaying much longer before he packs his grip sack for California.
 But the next Treasurer will be man subject to the approval of all the people instead of one man. And it is fortunate that in the Republican primary there will be a truly representative man to vote for in the person of Frank l.. Knight. He is presi- dent of the First National Bank of Anchorage and all who know him realize that he is a man of sturdy character and of excep- tional ability.
 And the man who fills the of flee of Treasurer has even more important duties to perform. The law gives him membership on the Board of Territorial Road
 Commissioners as well as mem
 bership on the Board of Bank examiners. These offices will be
 of more than usual significance
 for they will no longer be domin- ated by the Governor and his ap- |pointees. Already the law makes the Auditor one of the members, 2nd when MT. Cole is supple

That great Democratic Organ, the Juneau Empire, begins to get quite uneasy every time an election rolls around, and yet when the votes are counted the uselessness of their anxiety soon becomes apparent. During the past ten years the Republi- cans in the First division us- ually have had no trouble in electing their Legislative ticket. In only three instances have they failed to elect all their Senators and Representatives, when during two elections three Democrats were elected as members of the House.
 The Republicans always mo- minate progressive men to sit Tn Legislative sessions, and the voters later usually ratify that selection. And these men have made efficient legislators, ex- ceeding in their measure of real public service the representation from other divisions. This year Messrs. Steel, Johnson, Paul Sommer and Vim have indi- cated that they will work to- gether for the best intersts of the division and the Territory, and there seems but little doubt of their nomination.

 Prof. W. K. Keller Qualities in Every Way For the Office of Commissioner of Education

Prof. w. K. Keller, of Juneau, is we'll equipped to perform the duties of Commissioner of Ed ucation, and it is rather unfor- tunate that he is not at present the ruling official of the Terri torial school system. Tn all pro bability he would now be holding that position, through appoint ment by the Territorial Board of Education, had it not been for the high but mistaken sense of duty to a former friend that induced him to decline to be candidate, when selection was made a year ago. As a result another was chosen for the office. and unfortunately, he has pro- ven rather a negative quantity. He may have been an improve ment on his predecessor but he has not proven himself of suf- f1ciently strong calibre, because of lack of experience and ex- ecutive ability, to institute and direct beneficial educational policies. As a consequence it is desirable that a change be made looking to the permanency of rhe incumbent. And in the candidacy of w. K. Keller the
