owners to increase in like proportion.
This was not done. Hence, the de-
preston and eight million starving
jObless men and women.
The world owes no man a living,
but it does owe him the opportunity
to make living. When that oppOr-
tunity is denied through the schem-
ing, manipulation, greed and avarice
of others, and the government looks
on uncOncerned about the welfare and
security of its millions, while a few
bask lightly in affluent luxury, the
petted beneticiaries of an unjust social
order and the masses find all other
avenues of redress and economic Sc
curity closed to them, they have the
moral and social right to expect their
government to build up machinery for
their protection.
Industrial leaders and the bankers
who control them have failed mis-
erably to recognize their social OBJ
legations. They have taken all and
given little. When in trouble them
selves they rush wildly to Washing
ton for relief, and they usually get
it. When the workers ask Wash
ington to help them when they and
their families are in distress and are
hungered their plea is denied, for it
is wrong to hand out doles to the
hon of
is debated in congress, all the cum
ming known by crafty politicians is
used to defeat it. In the meantime,
women and children SILVER from the
cold and suffer from hunger.
When industry refuses to recognize
its responsibility to provide opportuni-
ty for the workers to labor and earn
money to provide for food, clothing
and shelter for themselves and de-
pendents, there is nothing left for the
workers to do but to demand of gov
eminent, their government, if you
please, the protection which industry
refuses them. This may come either
through social insurance or direct
gifts. Hungry families will not split
fine hair as to the method of relief,
as is done in congress, so long as
their hunger is appeased.
X
AS | conclude, this thought comes
to me: Congress is composed very
largely of lawyers, most of whom in
private life serve the corporations
that have ignored their obligations
to the workers. They have very little,
if any, social vision. They know not
the way to economic security. They
look backward for precedent and not
forward with the daring of frontiers
men. Their training to meet the So
cial problems of the day is all against
them. To them the people can look
with little hope. Isn't it time to send
to congress sOcial-minded men and
women who do their thinking in terms
of social progress and security for
the masses?

Mile Laos County Times: Presi-
dent Hoover asked the veterans of
the World War to not demand the
immediate payment of the balance of
their adjusted compensation because
it would cripple the finances of the
country" After the American Legion
went on record at Detroit last fall
opposing immediate payment, Presi-
dent Hoover turns around and hands
a two billion dole to the big interests
with the idea that they would start
business activity and put the money
in circulation. This money would have
done more good and been put into
direct circulation if it had been paid
to the veterans. Besides it is their
money which they earned by service
to this country and they are entitled
to it.

TheO. Christensen in the Dawson
Sentinel: Land is cheaper today than

but secure and developed. That from

never have had. and probably never
will have again.

John Wanamaker, the famous mer-
chant: A newspaper whose columns
overflow with advertisements of bust
ness men has more influence in at
traction to building up town than
any other agency. People go where
there is business. Capital and labor
go where there is an enterprising
community. No power on earth is so
strong to build up a town as a paper
we'll patronized and its power should
be appreciated. The man who over
looks his home town newspaper is
injuring his town and townsmen.

The Mile Laos County Times: With
FRANKLIN d. Roosevelt as its presi-
Dental candidate the Democratic
party could win a sweeping victory
next fall. An attempt to force any
other candidate on the country by
Democratic leaders will result in an
other Hoover victory. =. 1t is this
way: The big financiers who loaned
money to European countries during
the World war cannot stand it to have
their money buried in an unknown
grave along with our boys who stayed
over there. :. Farmers report that
hens have quit cackling. They claim
the hens can find nothing to brag
about in the present price of their
product.

The Mile Lacs County Times: The
Times does not give any free pub
licity to radio brOadcasts. The radio
companies charge for their broadcast
ing, and if they want publicity in the
Times it must be paid for. The Times
is flooded with requests for free ad-
vertising of various kinds and if we
handled it we would soon be in bank
ruptcy court. So free advertising
stunts get no further than the waste
basket in the Times office. The
ancient issue of the st. Lawrence
waterway is showing signs of waking
up for the coming presidential cam
paign. 1t performed valiant duty in
the last campaign when Republicans
claimed that if Hoover was elected
president the waterway would be built
inside of four years. "A gov
eminent which will not protect those
who protect it is flying a flag which
is a dirty rag, communicating the air
in which it flies" declared Senator
BOrah i'm answering the objections of
Republican leaders to a federal ap-
preparation for unemployment relief.
And that is about the size of it. OF
what use is a government that will
not take care of its people?

The Long Prairie Leader: The rail
road unions have consented TO a ten
per cent cut in wages for period of
one year. The cut is effective at
once. 1t is part of the nationwide
effort to get the railroads back on
their financial feet. Too great expense
of operation that ate up earnings is
said to be responsible for the plight
of the roads. For a time the roads
sought to get around the difficulty
by boosting rates. However, this de-
feated its own purpose. The people
turned to other forms of transporta-
ton and the higher rates instead of
bringing more revenue, actually re-
duced revenues. The roads must re-
duce expenses but the reductions
should not come out of the wages of
the men alone. There should be some
40 and 80 per cent cuts in the $4,000
and 100000 salaries.

 The discontinuance of the Geo. logical Surveys investigations and mapping in Alaska would serious ly retard the development of its mineral resources" said MT. Whit tier.e These are highly valuable to companies and individuals, and form the basis for most of the prospecting and explorations made by them in mineralizeo areas in the Territory
 Mining, particularly gold min ing, is at this time attracting more attention from investors than any other industry. A number of large r,,;,,;,,o oor,Ho,;ae 1onoIion oc well as American, have in the past few months turned their atten- ton to the Territory, and one of their first steps was to inquire for reports by the Geological Sur yey upon districts in which they were interested.

 Withdrawal has been caused by the expense in maintaining mem bership in the League which runs to about s6s,0oo a year.
