LESS SPENDING, NOT MORE TAXES,
 IS THE ANSWER.

We agree with Gov Parks that the way to achieve economy is to stop spending money. He is convinced that by careful trimming of the sails of the Terri toria governmental craft for the coming two years Alaska can administer all of the essential functions of government, including relief of unemployed and other destitute who ordinarily charges upon the Territory without the levying of any new taxes or boosting the existing rates of taxation.
 Gov Parks is in position to know if this can be done. His opportunities for acquiring Knowledge of what is essential and what be done without are unequalled. He does know, and Alaskans will do well to be guided in this instance by his advice.
 This is not the time to consider new sources of taxation. Nor is it for levying higher taxes upon industries already staggering under high taxes in addition to burdens having their roots in long continued depressed market conditions. The Gov ernor again proves his soundness economic issues by advocating fewer expenditures and opposing high CT leves, or adding other forms of taxation, such as a general sales tax special sales levies on selected commodities The proper way to economize is to stop spending, and there many avenues of expense heretofore travelled by the Territory that be closed at least for the present without caus ing any suffering to the general public.

Constantina J. Jacobson did not struggle. She produced a check and a fountain pen and wrote in silence. Meanwhile Mark had wrapped the sketches in a napkin and tied them with the string from one of the silvery balloons tetheIRd to the table.
 By the time the duchess had come round to see what was go- ing on, there was nothing to see. So Mark drew her instead, on the back of the menu.
 He drew her as he thought she would like to be drawn-a smile over a bare shoulder; excessive length of eyelashes, excessive trans psrency of skirt. But he was get ting exhausted He calculated that he could. only do another couple of impressions before the exhaus- ton became apparent in his work

PRICE SYSTEM UNDER MICROSCOPE

good many economists who began their study of the business depression by assuming it was a phenomenon of the credit system have to believe the uneven functioning of the price system is also at fault. Many others technicans and politicians have to a similar conclusion. In this light, considerable interest attaches to the nouncement of Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler that a commission of IT economists has been created to study the working of the price system.
 Seven of the commission at Columbia Uni- versity, four from other universities and six are economists not connected with any academic insti- tuition. The group is strictly of experts yet it comprises wide variety of viewpoints. It is also, small enough to deal informally with the problem. Its field of inquiry is enough to permit of an exhaustive search for the facts and the proper correctives
 It is safe assumption that such commission will not produce positive results for it is dealing with a nebuous problem and has only vague powers to recommend. But in the present demoralzed con- dtion of economic system, two distinct lines of approach necessary. The one looks to early and practical steps to mitigate hardship and revive business The other deals with basic embellishments and is primarily theoretical. In this latter and equally important field the committees study of the new price system should be useful.

Who Wouldn't?

(Ketchikan Chronicle)
 Who would not up for a tour of the Mount Mckinley National Park?" says the New York Times editorialy after reviewing Governor Parkss report insofar it deals with the tremend- ous Alaskan reservation, centered by the highest mountain the continent of North America. In spite of all the publicity it has had though, the Governors report shows that in the year 1881 only I'll persons to the park as tourists It is logical to expect that as time goes on the number of visitors will increase much beyond that figure, but that still in the future We still are faced with the unacceptable fact that Mount Mo- Knley Park, as wonderful place as it is, can be visited only by those who have ample time on their hands And unfortunately those of us with the most time our hands those of us who have the least money So it is in the States
 But Southeast Alaska in 1881 had ten times that number of visitors that Mckinley Park had that year. Even last year, tourists going through Ketchkan numbered in the thousands.
 All of which indicates that National Park in Southeast Alaska would have value AS it is there is no attractive place for tourist to halt his journey until he reaches Mount Mckinley. But if there were an attractive centralized stopping of place few days travel closer to the States then surely the task of building up Alaska's already m- portan tourist industry would be less difficult than it now is
 Not only that but we have ourself to consider. While many Alaskans are here planning to remain only few years, the truth is that this is their home and they probably are destined to remain here the rest of their days So in preparing for the tourists at the same time we should be making our own home attractive This should in no sense deprecate from the value and importance of Mount Mckinley National Park. Its wonders are so great that they cannot be successfully yrvaeds Governor points cut that fin addition to Mount Mckinley with its tower ling summit of 20,3OO feet, the Park contains Mount Russell, with elevation of 500 feet and Mount Foraker, 17000 feet.

 Mark found himself hated coated, and, finally, driven away in the same car that had brought him up from Kings Mallard.
 As the car drew up the door was opened and Armitage stood or the threshold.
 Mark was able to make a better show than he had in the De Capc lounge and in Armitage's face also there glimmered the faint sur prise. Mark noted it with rising spirits. He became extremely charming.
 I'm beginning to realize that l must have kept you and Poole out of your beds, Armitage. If I'd had any idea I wouldn't have left the house at all"
 We were Up anyway" Armitage assured him, leading the way into his own sitting room There was an informal comradely atmosphere i in this room, with it's litter of pa- pers and beer bottles, it's hunks of bread and cheese.
 1 And then from rather liking it, Mark passed in one horrible nerve jangle to despising and detesting it. He looked around him avid for ar opening to hit and spoil. 1t was Armitage who gave him one Before you go uu, Lodely, there , is a telegram for you," he said. He handed it over and turned to the fire. Before he looked at it, Mark knew that it was from Barbara-and that Armitage knew it also.
