RICHARDSON HIGHWAY
 RESIDENTS PROTEST
 CRUELTY ID WORK DOCS

A protest against the brutal, wan tonly cruel treatment of the work dogs in the interior hinterland of Cordoya was received recently by the Cordova Times in letter sign- ed by we'll known trappers and prospectors residing in the section off the Richardson Highway.
 Tn asking that public or official action be taken to prevent the need less torturing of the animals, they write, in part, as follows.
 We all know that the dog is an important work animal in Alaska as we'll as being true friend to man. It is criminal the way some of the natives, in particular, treat their dogs, and something certain ly should be done about it. There are scores of dogs in this part of the country which are actually starving all summer, and are noth- ing but skin and bones at this time of the year.
 Tn this condition the natives hitch the dogs to their sleds and expect them to work for them. The poor creatures are willing enough but they just can't do 1t, then they beat them with chains or whatver they have in their hands, some times knocking an eye out or mutt lating them in other ways. You can hear the poor brutes bowling for miles.
 we think that If 3 dog Is worth having he Is worth taking care of. We have dogs ourselves and we cer- tainly think a great deal of them and they will pull two or three hun dred pounds anywhere we want to go.
 "Lf you ask a native why he doesn't feed his dog he will tell you he has no fish and no money to buy dog feed, but at the same time they have money to buy malt syrup and hops and sugar and make home brew"
 To cope with this situation and bring to justice those Alaskans, na- tive or white, who treat helpless animals with vicious, inhuman cruelty, 1t has been suggested that a government dog inspector make a trip through the area and inspect the dogs to see their condition. To do this work 1t IS probable that a deputy U. 8. marshal will be order ed to make the trip, but in what ever manner 1t is handled, the cruel torturing of these animals un- doubtedly will be brought under control and 8 closer watch kept over them in the future.

Our Prediction Has
Been Justified

Many weeks ago, in the
very beginning, we pre-
dicted in this column that
the purpose of the Admins
tration forces would be to
give Herbert Hoover the
credit for all the money
raised by private charity
and through the appropria-
tions Of governmental units
with which the President
has nothing to do.
We were assured that it
was a nonpartisan drive to
save women and children
from starving; and in New
York city Tammany cap
tains were put to work to
help raise the fund, and AL
Smith took a more promi-
nent part than any man in
New York. But our pre-
diction has been justified,
as we knew it would be.
Secretary Hurley, in a
bitter partisan speech, un-
necessarily offensive to
Democrats, has just had the
temerity we had almost
said "the guts"- credit
Herbert Hoover with the
money raised by private
charity and from the pockets
Of Democrats, and from the
treasury of the Democratic
municipalities like New
York.
IF women and children do
not starve this winter during
the Hoover panic, it will not
be because of anything the
President has done. We were
raising money through pri-
vate charity, and the Demo
cratic administration of New
York city was appropriating
money to prevent starvation
before the President was
ready to admit that there
was a serious crisis and while
he was reported to be COM
planning that the suffering OF
the people was exaggerated.
Senator Robinson has de-
nounced this cheap attempt
of Mr.. Hurley. It is promis-
ing to find that the Demo-
Gratis now know the. mean
ing of "co-operation" and
have served notice that their.

THE Ways and Means
l. COMMITTEE of the House
reported favorably on the
one-year moratorium, with
this amendment:
"It is hereby expressly de-
clared to be against the
policy of Congress that any
of the indebtedness of for
eign countries to the United
States should be in any man
ner cancelled or reduced,
and nothing in the joint reso-
luton shall be construed as
indicating a contrary policy
or implying that favorable
consideration will be given
at any time to a change IN
the policy hereby declared" d"
It is significant fact, of
which the American people
will not fail to take cogni-
zance, that the Democrats on
the committee voted to a man
for this amendment, and all
the Republicans, with one
exception, voted against this
declaration that the debts OF
IA nations must not be trans
ferred from the people who
got the money to the backs
of the taxpayers of the
United States.
This lineup of the Ad-
ministration forces on the
committee is significant and
suggestive of the pressure
from the White House to
save the plan of the interna-
tional bankers to make good
their private loans at the ex-
pense of the people Of the
United States.
Since the policy of the
Congress has been declared,
if the purpose of the Presi-
dent in asking for the revival
Of the war debts commission
is to pave the way for the
transfer of the European
burdens to the backs of
Americans, there is no point
to it's revival. For Congress
has spoken for the American
people.

Living up to a title is like

LISTEN, WORLD!
By Elsie Robinson

Not a new question. All the
generations have asked it, since
Need began. And nineteen cen
turies ago, One gave the an
swer to that question
They had been complaining,
too-saintly men though they
were. those deciples of Jesus.
Why was He so impulsive, so
impractical? Why didn't He
rebuke those who so plainly
needed rebuke? Those Samari-
tan beggars, for instance. Any
one could see they were a
bunch of lazy rogues, loafing
while honest men worked. And
yet He would have thrifty work
ers give charity to such. But
why? Why should any man en-
joy that which he had not
earned? ...,-
So hearing them muttering,
Jesus answered.
What Did He Mean?
What did they mean, said He,
with that simple but dangerous
smile, by speaking of that
which a man earned?" Did
they flatter themselves that
they, the provident and right
eous ones, had earned all they
enjoyed? Did not they know
that they profited by the work
of other men as, surely as the
beggar that lay by the road?
Did they not realize that they
often received blessings of which
they were not worthy and en-
joyed service which they had
not deserved?
"ONE SOWETH AND AN
OTHER REAPETH," said He.
II SENT YOU TO REAP THAT
WHEREON YE~ BESTOWED
NO LABOR: OTHER MEN
LA3ORED AND YE ARE EN-
TERED INTO THEIR LABOR"
Why should you help? Be-
cause you have received help.
Why should you give? Because
other men have given to you.
All that you have, all that
you are, is. the gift of countless
laborers, living and dead. Your
material possessions and con-
venienceS, your knowledge, your
philosophy, your standards Of
living were achieved, not by
your. efforts, but by the strug-
giles and sacrifices, the dreams
and prayers, the tears and
furieS of millions of men you
have not seen. You could not
possibly have done all this for
yourself and, no matter how
hard you may labor, you will
still be a beggar, you will still
die in debt.
And yet today you give a dol
lar to the worlds pitiful need
and call yourself generous!
