ECONOMY THE NEED OF THE HOUR

In Alaska probably more than in any other sec ton of the United States the great need of the times is economy in public expenditures. The cost of Territorial government here is almost wholly borne by industries that either hard pressed by business conditions in development stage The situation is such that the burden of taxation is bearing down heavily upon them. It would be unfortunate indeed if the fisheries industry that already is operating at loss were required to pay larger taxes Even more unfortunate would be i'm position of greater taxation the mines that are straining in their efforts to create surplus that would permit further development and add to employment and population in the Territory. To thrust increased burden these industries would not be the sort of invitation that ought to be ex- tended to induce further investments. Notice should be served to all who contemplate investment n Alaska that the people of the North stand ready to give all the encouragement possible to capital for development The best sore of guaranty in this respect would be to treat with more than fair ness the capital already invested here
 It may be unfortunate that the burden Of taxa tion is not more widely distributed. If it were there would be more people directly interested in economical government However, the indirect interest of all the people is vitay concerned Alaska must progress materially it cannot advance spirit ually socially or otherwise. atse
 The need therefore is to hold down public ex- penditures to the least possible amount. It is not a time to inaugurate governmental activities

that might drain the treasury Rather it is q time to dispense with everything that is not of com polling importance.
 Economy is the tendency of the times through out the country, but it is not important in other sections of the Nation it is in Alaska. In the other States and Territories all property owners taxpayers and the accumulated wealth is large. It is different here. The property owned by the people is not extensive and property tax would not produce a great sum unless it were con- fiscaory. However, if the people do not learn to do without many things they would like to have, if they continue to demand extension of government activities the revenue laws must be changed so that all the people must contribute their share of the cost of government

.SEAPLANE SITKA
 REACHES HERE
 FROM SEATTLE.
Aircraft Goes Back to Ret. chikan While Peters,
 burg Remains

With stops at Alert Bay, Frazier Beach and Ketchikan, the Alaska Washington Airways' seaplane Sit ka, Pilot Gene Meyring and Me chanic Briand Harland, arrived in Juneau last evening from Seattle. Her passengers on her flight north were Mrs. Meyring, wife of the pilot, who made the trip from Se- attle to Ketchikan, and A. B. Hayes, representative of the Air ways, who completed the through journey.
 The Sitka, with Pilot Meyring and Mechanic Frank J. Wadman this morning flew from Juneau tc Ketchikan. Her passengers were Larry Parks, representative of the Airways, and Miss Florence Law renee
 The Sitka left Seattle at 3:15 yesterday morning. Her stop at Alert Bay had been scheduled, but her landing at Frazier Beach was unexpected. She alighted there because of a thick snow storm which obscured visibility. Her detention was brief, however, the furry lasting only Is minutes. She reached here at 6:45.
 MT. Parks will remain at Ket- chikan as representative of the Airways until it sends a third plane north. On the arrival of the third plane, one of the three craft will be sent to Seward to be based this summer, and MT. Parks will be stationed there.
 MT Hayes will make his head quarters in Juneau. The seaplane Petersburg is in the local hangar. It's crew consists of Pilot Robert Ellis and Mechanic Briand liar land.

The Burden of Gold.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

(Cinclnnati EnqulrerO
 The country now has the greatest stock of monetary gold in the history of any nation in the world-$4 635 100000 It has, in the last year alone, increased $280000000.
 The United States has the Midas touch This vast wealth is still pilng up in the vaults of Am ercan banks and in the National Treasury. What will what be done with it? Statesmen econ omists and financial experts becoming alarmed at the steady flow of the golden flood to these shores It not responsible for the economic troubles of 1929. For now this many months after that strange calamity, the gold is greater than ever, though deflation was accomplished in that period.
 This colossal mass of accumulated wealth is of no value to anyone. It properly is said that half of it would be ample basis for both metallic and paper money in this country. In value it is now greater than the entire value of the nations currency. We do not need it. Other nations do need it. The trouble is that no one has yet de- vised means by which can get it to them. It is here, and it doesn't matter how it to get here For the good of ourselves and the world it must be properly distributed elsewhere. But how? It would increase the buying powers Of other countries, make them good and better customers of the United States if it could be diverted to them
 The United States possesses more than 42 per cent of the worlds entire stock of monetary gold Together France and America hold the mass of earth's wealth represented in the yellow metal which has been mans desire and necessity since governments have existed. But idle gold is curse On desert island, without food water it is as valueless and useless the sands of the seas. It will neither clothe nor feed human beings of itself Under present conditions it is practically as valueless to millions of men and and children as so much mud
 Here is perhaps the most momentous problem of the present day for financial minds and the welfare of the world is involved in its proper solution.

 He plants a tree-and takes care of it after it has been planted; he makes a home out of house by planting shrubs and vines and flowers about it.

Many very pHeasanE things are spoiled for us by associating them with something unpleasant.
 This accounts for so many of our queer phebiaa-obsessions against certain things that we picked up in childhood.
 4 simple illustration is the asso- ciation of orange juice with cas- tor oii--a great many children re- fuse this pleasant and necessary beverage because the smell of it creates an actual and not an im- aginary nausea every time it is set before them. They taste the oil every time they smell orange juice and the state constabuiary could not make them drink it.
 It goes on logically to other things. Escort a child to have his picture taken. If the time before there has been a scene and we have scolded and stormed because he just wouldn't sit up, or because he wouldn't hold an A B. c. book, as being beneath his dignity--chil- dren have their pride-he will just naturally hate the mention of a studio.
 Associate study at home with nagging and noise, with every body else having a good time, and an entire atmosphere alien to all mental effort and a child will learn to think of a book as an enemy to

When the lecturer started to talk on weight he made this pre- liminary statement: Are you sure you are overweight? Are you thinking about reducing because your friend wears a Is and you need a 20? Perhaps you are so built that you look better in a 20. The size of ones bones has much to do with one's appearance. A large boned person who tries to get her weight down to that of her slim neighbor will look a gaurt scarecrow. Be sure you are really overweight before you consider re- ducing. Have you plenty of energy, do you get through the days work without getting tired? A girl who habitually undereats will get fa- tigued long before the day is over. She does not eat enough to carry her through.
 If you go in for reducing talk to a doctor first. Have him approve. Then set yourself goal of one Or two pounds week. More than that is apt to leave you 1istless and wrinkled looking.
 If you bulge in the wrong places, say the abdomen, it may be that exercise to strengthen the fiabby muscles is what you need rather than reducing. Consider that care fully before you start on a reduc- ing campaign.
 And then set table of calories. Take your list of essential foods in a days diet. And stick to it-day in and day out.
 Some one has said that a roll spread generously with butter adds 200 calories to the diet and 200 calories extra over and above what you need may add as much as IS pounds a year. Better consider a piece of unbuttered Melba toast in place of roll and butter.

An egg sandwich has about 120 calories more than boiled egg. A baked apple has 200 calories less than a piece of apple pie. And a glass of plain milk rates 200 call ories less than a glass of chocolate milk.
 And as I said before," went on the doctor, "200 calories in excess taken daily means IS pounds over weight in a year.

arms were about his bride. Her head rested on his shoulder. They had passed the suburbs now and were flying through wooded ra- vines. The foliage, touched by the first frost of October, had begun to show gorgeous tones of gold and scarlet.
 What time is it, Mark?"
 Nearly six. I'll have the porter bring a menu. You'd rather eat here than go into the dining car, wouldn't you?"
 She nodded. Instead of summon- ing the porter, however, both pre- ferred to prolong that perfect in- terval. The shadows on the coun- tryside grew longer.
 Why at that moment of all times should memories she had relent- lessly put behind suddenly reap pear to plague Norma? She turned away from Mark. What was he saying? She heard the words dim ly:

He will learn to accept 1t as a natural thing, particularly if the family puts forth an ef- fort to be interested in the sub ject he is studying.
 Of course, this association Of ideas extends to food. Too many of our dinner tables revert into inquisition rooms and sco1ding par lors. Not only that, but family fights are carried to the table. Per- haps the meal itself is chaotic affair slapped down in a hurry and served in a way that would turn any appetite. A simple meal quietly and happily eaten with everybody calm in body and soul is worth ten feasts served in tlr- nnoil. Strange as it ma seem, un- pleasantness affects the stomach nerves first of all. Worry, rage, fatigue, too much excitement are responsible not only for indiges- ton, but for distaste for certain foods.
 A new food to be served for the first time to child will generally go over big if accompanied by some cheerful letter of introduc- tion, but forcing. scolding, threat ening will only act as the castor oil does to the orange juice.
 Children will do things, accept duties and generally try to do their part if we older people adopt an attitude of expecting it without jumping to the conclusion that there is going to be trouble.

 Travers was not satisfied. He put a hand on her arm, studied her face searchingly.
 "Tell me why you don't want to go to Blue Springs he said.
 T do want to go, Mark! I guess well, all the time I was here alone I was thinking we'd have to find some place to live that doesn't cost too much. You--you aren't going back to your fathers office, are you? thought we'd have to save our money until you'd found another job"
 "so that's it." Marks laugh was a shout. But we're not poor. darling. We've got money-lots of it! Here! Take a look at this wad again. There's $1,445 in that fistful of filthy lucre. Enough for a fair sort of honeymoon, don't you think? That's the kind of a man your new husband is, Madam. Walks out without a single penny in his pockets and comes back with $1,445"
 He had not answered the ques- ton about returning to his fathers employ but Norma did not notice this. Her eyes were dazzled by that tremendous roll of bank bills.
 "Oh, Mark, it's such a lot! You wouldn't spend all that just on a trip!"
 ''Would I? Lady Mark Travers' wives always get the best. Look do you want to know how l got it?"
 She nodded, round eyed.
 Mark grinned again. "Sold the car! Might have got more out of it but this had to be cash. That's why was gone longer than I ex- pected to be-"
 You sold your roadster?"
 Mark nodded. Quickest way I could think of to get car fare and a little extra. We could have driv- en to Blue Springs but how'd we pay this hotel bill? Eureka-enter Mark Travers, the financier! Now tell me, don't you think you've married a bright boy?"

Here was proof of the love that meant more to her than anything else in life.
 They began to make nasty pre- parations for the trip. Ten minutes of the two hours which Mark had allowed them were gone. The lit- tie brown overnight bag which Norma had brought with her the evening before-all the luggage they possessed-stood waiting. Mark held the polo coat and the girl flung her arms into it.

 It was to become 8 habit of Marks during the next few weeks to make that inquiry. As habitual- ly and with emphasis the girl was to answer as she did then:
