The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1930-10-15

Chairman WlCkerSnam, Oh y. ;" SO"
sion, In a message to a group OF prison OFFICIALS meeVne
.t louisville Kentucky. suggests serious consideration OF
using the lash as q means of Kidding America OF a GER
tain type Of criminal.
He further describes the modern g~angster and racketeer
as q fairly brainy person with plenty OF courage 10 brave
the perils of the law as they now exist.
The exact benefits to be derived from the use OF the
lash as a deterrent to q life of crime are not outllnd IN
detail, but most citizens who are not too tender oy nature
might be willing to try the experiment..
For one thing, there is a certain sort OF mental prloe
which goes into the makeup of the modern criminal.
Pride in his ability to do a lob" well, whether tnat
lob be robbery or assassination. The modern racketeer
thrives on deceit and trickery. When men are put
ION the spot" in the various gang wars it usually is by
persons whom they know and whom they believe are
friendly to them-untl they realize that they have been
duped, too late to save their lives.
The modern gangster shoots his victims IN the PACK
or from ambush. Most of these murders are the work
of towards who place their own ease above the lives OF
their fellow men.
It is indisputable that men of this type fear pain and
physical discomfort more than they fear incarceration
in a iail or penitentiary. After suffering the misery and
the humiliation which would come from a single expert
ence under the knout, they might seriously consider
the value of personal reform.
To most of us, it would be a sickening thing to see a
human being writhe beneath a cat-o-nine-tails. But
it is also q sickening thing to the public-spirited citizen
to view the callousness Of the present day criminal
element.
The lash might cut through that callousness more
quickly than the forms Of punishment we now have.
There are arguments against the idea, of course. But
Mr.. Wickersham should have, by this time, a pretty fair
grasp of the criminal situation in America. His sug-
gestions as to a cure should bear some weight. When
he and his cohorts finish their survey their recommended
lions will be ~pondered over by the nations lawmakers.
It is strong medicine which Mr.. wickersham sug-
gests and 1t may not be the proper medicine. but there
will be few who will contend that the present criminal
situation does not demand a strong and definite remedy.

Greatly improved air transporta- ton facilities will be offered to the the. people2of Juneau and other South eastern Alaska communities soon, ac-- cording to Major G G. Frame, dlv1- sion manager of the Alaska ashlng- ton Airways. A direct Seattle-Ju- neau service, opeating twice a week, at least one plane stationed at Juneau throoughoout the year, training school, planes at Ketchikan and Wrmgel, and nationwide publicity for Alaska, are some of the things planned by the company.

Transportation.


 The report of the general manager of the A4aska I.al4roau dlscioses that there was a decrease in the revenues derived from transportation of freight and passengers. The revenues from the rlver DoaUCs that are oper- ated Tn conjunction with the ralioad increased aDout per cent. he rev. enue aerIved from al sources, lnclud- ing incorporating income, was Sl,- zoy, ,o34.u,, ana the totai deficit, all expenses except charges to capital account, was $950,711.i4.

 Lumbering.
 The natioonaI forests of Alaska embrace an area of approximately 2l ,OOO, ,OUU acres and contain the greater part of the commercial tim- Der in the Territory. These forests are administered by the united States Forest Service, Department of Agrl- culture, and thelr value to Alaska and the Nation may b e appreciated when it is understood that they com prise 13 per cent of the total forest reserves of the United States and contain about 85,000, 100000 board feet of timber. Investigations by the Forest Service indicate that the for sests will yield 1,000,000,O00 board feet each year in perpetuity and that the present yearly cut is 56,O0O,O 
 or 5.6 per cent of what can be taken without danger of depicting the supply.
 Much of the timber, especially in the Tongass Forest, is valuable chief ly for the manufacture of pulp and paper. Large areas have been award ed under contracts to paper-manu- facturingcompanles and the preliml- nary plans for construction of the, necessary plants have been com pleted. |: is known. that, there are more than 550,000 horsepower as, yet undeveloFed in the regions tributary to the forests. The utilization of thls power and the timber resources will place the manufacturing of pulp and paper in the list of Alaska's major lnStituIlonS.-

nine sealsklns were taken from the enaar year 1928. This IS an .Ic. 0aae of 6,l57, or 24.2 per cent, over the catch fo 1927. During the year 28,- 929 skins were sod at pubic aucClon and at private sales authorized by the Secretary of Commerce for total of So96,3o3.4O. In 1927 20,315 skins were sold for gross price of S.1o,1o1. inc revenue derived from the Prlbi- lof Is ands is augmented by the trap- are fed with the by-products of the sealing industry. During the trap ping season 1923-29 5 A blue and 9 white fox skins were taken and pre- pared for market. October l5, 1929, PTS blues and 15 whIses, taken fir om the previous season, were sold at pub- lie auction for $21, ,29O.
 Mining.
 In 1928 the total value of all min eral productts is reported to be S14,- 128,OO0. This is S176,OO0 under 1927 valuation. The decline is due wholly to the decrease in the quantity and value of copper that that was mined. Although the total mineral produc- ton is less than for 1927, it. Is sig niticant that the gold production in- creased very materially. The mining lndustr yhas been stimulated during the past year by new developments and by assis stance given prospectors; hence it is almost. certain that the production from the mines will show an increase rext year.
 For mary years the rloduction cf gold froom placer mines exceeded that of the lodes, but in recent years there has been gradual change in the situation ,and last year the pro- duction from the lodes exceeded that derived from the placers. The total gold production froom all sources in 192S5is5 estimated to be $6,775,00O, as compared with S5,927,000 in 1927.
 Copper-bearing rocks are distrib- uted throughout the Territory, but commentators bodies are mined in only two Localities ,Kennecott, in the Copper river district, and on La touche island. The production from these mines shows sharp decline. In 1927 the value of the copper was es- timaede to be S7,25O,OOO, while in 1928 it decreased to S6,1OO,OOO. There has been steady decline in the pro- ductio1 of cooper each year since 1923, aud further decrease is ineyit- able unless new ore bodies are dis covered.
 Approximately 75 per cent of the silver produced i'll the Territory IS re- covered from the copper oes, hcnce the decline II. cope prodU.tioE Is ar- companic1 by a decrease in the out put If silver. lie value of rne silver recovered is estimated to be $27 ,OO0, as compared with S356.OOO in 1927.
 An incease is note din the produc- tion of lead, marble, limestone, tin, and platinum. During the year a new industry was initiated on Dall island, situated about 50 miles west of Ket- chikan. The Pacific Coast Cement Company openeed quarry for the production of limestone to supply cement plant located near Seattle. This quarry has capacity of. several thousand tons per day and no doubt will continue in operations for many years. Alaska contains large quanti- ties of suitable limestone and large iy increased productioon may be ex- pected.
 The coal mines III the Territory produced 125.289 tons, valued at $624,0O0. This is 20 per cent greater

 The municipal election setback has disturbed Labor party leaders. Polling took place in more than 800 cities and boroughs in England and Wales and the Labor Party lost heavily, particularly in indus trial cities and towns
 At Liverpool, Leeds and Hull, for instance, the previous Labor ma jorities were turned into minorities. In about 100 large English and Welsh towns, Labor gained 27 seats but lost 92, whereas last years election gave them a net gain of 100 seats in the municipal coun- cils
 The Conservatives on the other hand gained 79 seats, lost ten this year almost reversing last years figures when they gained only II municipal council seats and lost 61.
