tives of capitalists sWarmed over the country looking for opportun- ities to start new industries and were ready with their money to go ahead. Then the cry went up from thousand thrOatS that they came to steal the country from the poor man. and the de- mand was made that the gov ernment step in and stop the theft. The magazif4cs and news papers were full of demands that the government conserve the re- sources of Alaska so individuals or corporations could not get them. The government, as was proper in democracy, acceded to the demand. The public lands with their natural wealth were withdrawn from individual appro- priation and put into reserves. This ended the growth of Alas ka. At that time retrogression set in.
 Who are responsible for this situation? Not the government. The government is only the obedi- ent agent of the public

 '"The responsibility for our stag nation and retrogression rests up on the shoulders of those who in famed public sentiment against private ownership and individual industry The people of Alaska are not alone responsible, but we are responsible for supporting this system of conservation by sending men to represent us at the Capital who joined in this hue and cry against capital and this demand that the Territory i be protected against the investor We are paying dearly for al- lowing ourselves to be bunked by demagogues.

RUSTGARD, ATTACKING CAPT. TAIL EATERS, DECLARES
 INVESTORS NEEDED
(Juneau Empire)

DenOunclng the opposition as demagogic capital baiters of the type that successfully stopped de- velopment of Alaska's rich re- sources in the last two decades, John Rustgard, candidate for the Republican nomination for Del egate, opened his campaign in a speech at Petersburg in which he asserted that Alaska must invite capital to come to the country to start things moving"
 If we want the natural re- sources developed we have to bless and not curse the men who are willing to come here with their money to start the industries and furnish the jobless with jobs" he told his audience.
 Attacks Opposition
 With MT. Rustgard were 2. T. Gardner and Walter P. Scott, can didates respectively for Republl- can nominations for the Senate and House in the Territorial Leg islature. The opposition, he charg- ed that is consistently attacking the Federal bureaus, is solely res ponsible for the bureau system which they created by anti-capl- talistic propaganda and attacks on foreign capital coming to the Territory to develop it's raw re- sources.
 Easing his address on the rec ognized need for industrial devel- opment, he asked the question How can this be accomplishment" and declared
 Our opponents, judging by their actions, seem to think that the proper way is to villify men ot means and create enmity towards all those who seek to start the wheels of industry moving. There is not a great industry but IS the object of their attacks.
 You who are old timers re- member how our troubles started Those of us who came here 3O or more years ago believed then that in a few years the Territory would have a million inhabitants We saw the vast natural reSourc- es we saw the metals, the 1or- ests the coal, the oil, the flsn' and we said to ourselves all these things humanity needs and wants and soon there will be large cl- ties and busy communities all oV- CT this land supplying the human needs; and we all had a vislon oi sharing in the general prosper itv But what happened? we >have gone backwards and not for- wards The industries did not come except the cannerles ano even they have had a struggle Scores of them have gone bank rupt and been dismantled or sole at bankruptcy sales.

WHAT? NO POLICEMAN?

WG Hay Ut WGah All uAAN AA0~~ o- see thru the glasses of a mlSogyn- 4st but we never did quite get this naval disarmament proposition straight, that is, straight enough for it to mean much to us except \ lot of blah. We clapped and stamped our feet along with the rest of the country over that Hard Ing conference but our heart wasn't really in it and we got our fingers crossed under the table when we thought of all those millions going onto the junk pile and wondering whether Great Britain and Japan were scrapping their ships too, and whether we'd ever build any more and if not why?
 Same feeling now. Its just an empty gesture; nobody's heart IS m it. France is irretrievably com mitted to a strong armed footing She must have a gigantic army she thinks, and won't give up the sub- marines. Italy has growing pains lnder the dynamic and ambitious MusSolini and Great Britain will never give over her fond delusion 1f domination of the waves. Japan $ not ostensibly War-like but you can rest assured she is not over looking any bets when it comes to preparedness. All these countries have too much war history behind them to treat this peace dove, olive 5ranch stuff with any degree of seriousness. Sounds nice and would oe lovely when they agree but inn ndiately they lay the keel for another battleship.
 AS for us, we seem to be the prize altruists of the world and at he same time the prize saps. We 10 around waving the olive branch at the other nations while we are all muddled up at home. We wouldn't think of aboliShing the police fources of our cities but we would take our naval policemen from the seas. We gracefully agree 10 scrap a lot of ships and then ap oropriate a lot of money to build some more Where's the sense in hat?
 Why not be sensible about this thing and settle down to one policy and stay with t. We should nc more think of dropping our guard If our commerce and our coasts -han our homes. Tn the late war 9ur lack of preparedness cost us many lives and 526,000,O0OO 900. We should have a navy the equal ot any in the world and keep it there; anything else is applesauce.
 The Alaskan" the name re- gently given to the Seattle-Chi- cagO train by the Northern Paci- fic Railway Company, should re- bound in considerable fine pub icity for the Territory and The Gateway wishes at this time to extend sincere thanks to the IN F." for doing their bit, in this manner, in assisting the great and difficult task of putting Al aska on the publicity map.
 Now if General Manager Ohl- son, of the Alaska Railroad, vii bring down to Lake Kenai one o1 the smaller river boats from the Interior, everybody will be happy A boat, say, capable of carrying 50 or 100 people.
 It is about that time of the year now when due thought ane consideration should be given a! to when and where you are goine on your vacation. Again we wisf to call the attention of the pub lie to the magnificent highway be- ginning at Valdez and ending or the bank of the mighty Yukon.

ASKOV SCHOOL NOTES
Esther Henriksen)

1t has been decided that the Askov
high school will again unearth and
polish up their forensic abilities so
that they may be prepared to meet
their first opponents for the county
debating championship sometime in
February. TryOuts will be held in
the high school assembly in the near
future and judges will be chosen to
decide which three of the contestants
will constitute the AskOv team. The
question for the debate is: Resolved
that the petit jury system should be
abolished" and no doubt some fiery
oratory will be heard on the subject.
Miss Petersen will act as debate
coach.
How to get rich quick" was the
question which we expected to have
answered Friday afternoon when we
heard that V. S. Petersen, of the Askov
bank, was to speak to us. 1t turned
out that the information we received
was of a more prosaic nature, but
none the less valuable. Mr. Petersen
explained the construction and man
ner of opening the vault and safe, the
system of Foreign Exchange very
briefly, the inspection of banks and
the system used in depositing money
and in loaning it.

OUAMBA STATE BANK

In keeping with the progressive
policy maintained for several years,
the stockholders of the Quamba State
Bank at their annual meeting on jan
uary s voted to increase the Capital
Stock to $15,0O0.OO. Previously the

ings until it has reached this sub
stantial amount. The stockholders
received their usual dividends and
were pleased to note that dividends
have been paid every year since 1920.
The bank enjoyed a nice increase in
business during the past year and de-
pesits are now S276,000.00.
The following were reelected Di-

4 LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
(By S. w. Straus)

The trend of the times is toward
shorter working hours. More and
more leisure time is being allowed
all types of toilers.
In the days of our grandfathers
there was only a limited amount of
time available to most people for rec
reatiOn. The hours of toll were
long. Conditions of the present, how
ever, represent a decided improvement
because, as a general rule, people are
making use of their spare time to good
advantage.
In the midst of this changing order
it should not be forgotten that there
can be neither progress nor happiness
without work. Our spare time should
be made use of to make ourselves the
more capable of doing the work we
have mapped out for our lives. Other
wise we shall be going backwards.
The great MussOlini recently said,
81, myself, work hard" while to our
own Thomas Edison was credited the
observation that genius is 10 per cent
inspiration and 80 per cent perspira-
ton"
There is no real pleasure greater
than that which comes from success
full accomplishment. No matter in
what line of activity we may find our
selves, we should realize that per-
forming our daily tasks to the best
of our ability brings far greater con-
tentment of mind than could possibly
come from idleness.
There is no true happiness in an
idle life. Waste Of time is a form of
that is as destructive
of rightful pleasure as waste of money
or waste of health.
Work alone brings happiness, be-
cause work is creative and upbuild-
ing.
All the instincts of the human race
which has been responsible for hu-
progress have found their
real fulfillment in work.
Happiness through Industrious en-
ployment is one of the fundamentals
that can be continually counted on.
1t is a splendid type of true, construc-
tive thrift.
