THE ALASKA RAILROAD

The Department of the Interior has made available some statistical figures pertaining to the Alaska Railroad that are interesting and Illuminating, and decidedly en- couraging. While this railroad now represents total expenditure by the Government of $69, 500,OOO, it is notable that it's operating deficit has just been reduced to the lowest point in six years. Expenses drop ped in 1881 to $1,927,784 from $2,- 41S,549 in 1890 and represented decline in the operating deficit of $647,37O. The operating deficit of the railroad in 1880 was $1,237120 compared with $58S,750 in 1881. It is expected that further reduc- tions shall have been made by the

CHOICE OF WORDS

Recent press dispatches report that the attorney for Rudy Vallee and his wife has stated that "the couple are experiencing matrimoni- al differences, but their differ ences have not reached the point where they plan divorce" He also said that they almost despair of success as both have a wide diver gence of temperaments.
 What a pity some of us in Wran- gell have not an attorney to state our case. In our small town way if Rudy and his wife lived here and Rudy made his living as a fisher man or whatever he could get to do, Wrangell would simply say they were having a Heck of a row when they disagreed violently; but what could you expect of a couple when both were high tempered, selfish and determined to have his own way, and neither one would give in to the other? It means the same thing but it sounds better the way the at torney tells 1t.

25,0OO,000 TREES PLANTED
 ON U. S. FARMS IN 1881

More than 1OO,000,O00 trees, of which 25,51O,O52 were for planting on farms, were distributed by. State forestry departments for forest planting last year, reports of the Forest Service, United States De- partment of Agriculture, show. Thirty-eight States and two Terri tories cooperated with Federal agencies in furnishing trees for farm planting. Paintings of all classes gained nearly 30 per cent over 1880, when the total distribu- tion was 79,319,O 900 trees.
 Pennsylvania led in farm forest planting with 6,028,835 trees, fol- lowed by New York with 4,S00,000, Puerto Rico with 1,253,S00 and Michigan with 1,23S,000. Nebraska, Wisconsin, Tennessee and Indiana each set out more than three-quar- ters of million trees. Pines and spruces were leading varieties planted on farms More than 2,500,- 900 trees were sent out for farms of the South. chiefly slash, loblolly, longleaf and shortleaf pines, with some pitch pine, white, Scotch and Austrian pines and cypress, locust, walnut, tulip and other hardwoods. Federal agencies cooperate with States in producing trees for farms, trees usually being distributed at cost.

attempt to get action on certain projects from one or another politi- cal parties; it maintains a lobby at W asnington which works through ooUn parties. The National Manu- lecturers association is another such powerful group; it contributes money to both major political par ties. Professional men seek legisla- ton affecting them, not in active politics, but through their own medical association, bar association, dental, pharmaceutical, and other groups. Labor has it's federations; there is no labor party. And so forth.
 This is no criticism of lobbying. Like everything else, ther are good lobbies and bad Hobbies. It is logi- cal in view of the fact that half of our states are one-party states. No Republican expects to be elected to office in Mississippi, just as no Democrat is hopeful of election in Maine. But the significant thing is that there are growing up, outside of the machinery of government, and outside the political party or ganizations, a powerful set of alli- ances and federations representing special interest. These groups are present at all the senatorial and congressional hearings. They or ganize protests against impending legislative measures, or favorable demonstrations for others. To all intents and purposes, they are talk ing an active part in government, without nay control by the govern- ment.
 If we are to have government by groups, which may or may not be good thing, all groups should be registered and take a definite, if semi-official part in the govern ment. But if we are not to have group government, if we are to cleave to the old theory of absolute democracy, with political parties representing various national in terests, let us get back to that principle, and reduce government to it's simplest terms, with unor- ganized, as we'll as organizedS groups having an equal voice in the conduct of government.

AMERICAN SLANG GAINING
 HEADWAY IN SCOTLAND

MONTREAL-Yan slang is making headway in Scotland de- spite the severe disapproyal of it's use by the more serious minded population, according to Gilbert H. King, Scottish exchange student from McGill University, who has just returned to Canada to engage in teaching work. The spreading of the use of slang terms among the young people of Scotland, he said, is one of the effects of the American talkies.

GOVERNMENT BY GROUPS

There is a danger, in recent de- velopments, that this nation is drawing away from real democracy, in it's drawing away from participa- tion in party politics. The number of groups that have arisen to carry out definite legislative programs outside the political parties is su- prising.
 A large portion of the nation S businessmen are enrolled, through subsidiary organizations, in the United States chamber of commerce, one of the most powerful groups in the country. The chamber does not

end of the current fiscal year. All though the expenditures on the AL aska Railroad by the Federal Gov ernment may seem large and the deficits at the end of the year un- fortunate, nevertheless, the outlay represents a bold investment by the Government which will be enhanc- ed many times in the future The construction of hundreds of miles of railroad in Alaska where people did not dwell has been pioneer enterprise of great magnitude.
 Without transportation facilities, the Territory could not be develop ed. At present there are 47O miles of railroad on the main line, open ing up a rich hinterland. Sine 1923 when the tracklaying was complet- ed, much addition work has been done to place the roadbed and structures in condition for economi- cal operation. For this purpose ap- propriations have been made by Congress each year. Many miles of of track have been ballasted, steel bridges or earthen fills have been substituted for miles of wooden bridges and trestles.
 The saving in maintenance ex- penses, and a substantial increase in earnings hve reduced the opera ting loss from $1,813,000 in the fiscal year 1924 to $5S9,750 in 1881 The total cost to the Govern ment, amounting to $69,500,000, includes construction of telegraph and telephone lines, wharves, hos pitals, townsites. and dwellings, for employees, and the operating ex- penses in excess of revenue. The railroad serves as gateway to the interior of Alaska and since it's completion and improvement, is one of the greatest advertising and establishment of productive en- terprises in the regions rich in min eral wealth.
