foreign countries And the finished products there from are permitted to enter the United States duty free. If that sort of condition is to be perpetuated and the Government were to accede to the Eastern demand that it lock up Alaska's forests from utili- zation until the market demands shall have out grown the ability of this foreign industry to supply in the Territory, as the Secretary very properly pointed out. The injustice of such proposition ought to be plain to any unbiased and disinteresed person
 Alaska has not asked for any tariff on foreign made newsprint It is interested merely in getting the Federal Government to permit the development of of it's greatest resources-the only one in which there is contained promise of the immediate upbuildng of a substantial permanent population. No effort has been will be made to seek the creation of artificial conditions beneficial to Ameri- can labor, capital and natural resources. The natural advantages possessed by the Terrtorys tim Der resources and related waterpower projects are sufficient, even under current economic conditions to offset handicaps inherent to the development of great new industry in pioneer land such this.
 The Governments duty in the premises is cer- tanly plain It cannot if it be guided by precedent and fairness do less than to make it easy for any responsible individual corporation to utilize these resources to the fullest extent possible without endangerng their permanence No other conclusion could be reached by the Secretary when the ques- ton was considered as he pointed out, from the standpoint of equity, not only of Alaska, but to the nation as an entity . in the light of do- mestc needs and broad national welfare"

SECRETARY HYDE's POSITION.

No utterance by any puolc official, certainly none by any of such ranking in tLe Government as the Secretary of Agriculture Arthur M Hyde, in recent years has been constituted to give pleasure and hope to Aaskans that of Secretary Hyde to the American Paper and Pulp Association in reply to its request that the Government call off negotiations pending for sale of national forest timber to pros pective pulp and paper makers. It gives pleasure Alaska because it voices effectively view almost identical with that held by the Territory It furnishes ground for hope that those negotiations will not be broken off for trivial reasons, or even for reasons of greater mpor which the prospective invest ors of large amounts oi capital have no control
 The letter vas made public recently by the Juneau Chamber of Commerce which was furnished copy by Secretary Hyde. Because it is an ex- presson of policy by member of President Hoovers official famly-the member who has full admin strative control Alaska great timber resources it is a pronouncement of importance of the first magnitude to this Territory In fact. under the circumstances, no mistake can be made in assuming that it represents the attitude not only of the Department of Agriculture, but that Of the Hoover administration well. It is clearly, concisely and frankly stated No misirterpretaton is possible. While the Eastern paper trust to which it was ad- dressed undoubtedly will disagree with its reasoning because its own viewpoint is essentially, and naturally so. international one-it cannot mis- understand the Administrations position in the matter fail to discern the therefor The Secretary has shown a grasp of the situation and recognition of the Federal Governments responsi- bilities in the matter which very heartening to all Alaskans
 In brief he pointed to the fact that almost 65 per cent. of the needs of the United States for newsprint paper is imported from foreign countries thus disposing of the contention that production of that commodity in Alaska will initiate against an already expanded American industry. It is true that American capital has very largely developed foreign fields for pulp and newsprint manufacture and dominates those fields. But that capital which ought to be flowing into favorable channels at home to utilize domestic resources and furnish employ ment to local labor, is doing those things for

ARKANSAS HAS
 SUPPLIES LAID UP FOR WINTER
Taught Lesson by Drought, Farmers Wives Pre-
 serve Food

| FAYETTEVILLE, Ark, Oct. D. Arkansas learned a lesson from the drought of 1880 and the hard ships of the winter which followed AS a result few in the state vii, worry this winter about where they are going to get the next meal. There are meals-thousands o1 them-put up in glass jars and tir cans and stored in cellars, smoke houses and pantries. For the canning fever" has been rampant in Arkansas this summer Everybody has tried to preserve food.
 A survey conducted by the state college of agriculture revealed that on August 1, 35,00O,OO0 quarts of fruit, vegetables and meat had been preserved on the states 242,0O0 farms. And the farm women em- phasized the fact that the season was still young.
 Many Jars, Cans Needed
 The demand for glass jars and jar tops has been greater than ever this year.
 A few scattered reports to the agricultural college are like this
 Little Rock firms ordered 125 car loads of jars.
 At Hope, Ark. one firm distrib- uted 770,000 jar tops and four car loads of jars: at Helena 225,0 ,00C jars were sold; and in Washington county two wholesale houses as late as August IS ordered 10 car loads of jars. There are 240 gross to the carload.
 One canning concern reported 1t had sold more canning equipment this year than for the last 10 years.
 This years abundant crop has had much to do with the food pres- ervation campaign.
 The average Arkansas garden grows from 10 to Is varieties of vegetables but 72 varieties were grown in one garden this year.
 There were 343 canning centeri in the state, where home demon stration agents showed the way and where all members of the family helped.
 Canning bees" were popular, and church societies, school teachers and even business mems organiza- tions sponsored them.
 Schools have canned supplies for use in their dining room this win ter.
 A Profit. Too sFe
 One woman, who put up 2,80O quarts sold her surplus to hotels and restaurants. Another woman made $62 from small garden after preserving all she needed for home use.
 Much bartering is going on, not only between neighbors, but be- tween farmers of Arkansas with those of Texas. Kansas and Okla homa.
 In addition to the canned fruits vegetables and meats, the state this year grew more than 100000 hush- els of Irish potatoes and 3,900,O0O bushels of sweet potatoes.
 There is a bumper crop of ap- ples, pumpkins, dried beans and

THERE ARE OTHER WAYS.

To prove that members of Congress are willing aid the country during the period of depression, Congressman Allen T. Treadway Republican, or Stockbrdge, Mass, advocates reduction of S2,O0o in the annual salaries of all members. This would scale them down from $10,000 to $8000 MT. Tread way who is a member of the Ways and Means Committee, said he will introduce resolution in December to carry out his plan.
 It would seem that more effective ways of aiding the country than cutting pay of members would present themselves to Congress After all, the sav ing thus effected would not provide any great relief to anyone nor lesson materially the deficit resulting from Governmental administration already in sight for next year. Ten thousand dollars is not an exhorbtant to pay for good journeyman Congressman but $80O0 is too much for one whose idea of relief is limited to reducing salaries It would be far better idea for members to make an honest effort to earn their present salary.
