SCRIP just as good
Any money is good money
which everybody is willing to &C
cept as such. Practically the whole
nation has gone on a scrip basis,
and until we try to spend some of
it outside of the United States it
is just as good as gold.
The only thing that makes gold
the best money is that it is the
one substance which everybody in
the world accepts at the same
value. But when everybody in
Hopfrog Corners accepts the local
scrip at its face value, the scrip is
just as good money as gold money.
Neither scrip nor gold is wealth;
both are merely yardsticks with
which to measure wealth.

NO EASY JOB
The first plank in Dictator T

The first plank in Dictator HI
ler's programme for Germany is
compulsory labor. Inasmuch as
millions of Germans are out Of en-
ployment and can't get work, this
idea of forcing everyone to work
sounds ironical.
But, apparently, Herr Hitler's
compulsory labor refers to work
on the farms. He will form labor
armies, presumably under military
discipline, to raise food for the
people and stimulate agriculture.
This may be feasible, but it
might easily lead to the virtual en-
slavement of workers. 1t depend.

PRESIDENTS 81 or 81:
Franklin D. Roosevelt is either
the thirty-frst or the thirty-'e-
cond President of the United
States, according to which way you
count. l notice that Publishers

last week as the thirty-frst Presi-

1t is perfectly true that he is
the thirty-hrst person to hold that
office, but one of his predecessors
Mr.. Cleveland, was elected two
different times with a four-year
interval between his two terms.
So if you count the number of
Presidential administrations Mr..
Roosevelt is the thirty-second. Not
that it makes much difference.
CHINA being united
l dined the other day in New
York with a gentleman who has
been engaged in business in China
for several years. He gave n, a
new picture of the condition of
the Chinese people. +
China today is actually prosper
Gus. Its industries are booming
and, except in some of the remote
districts, there is something like
real prosperity, judged by Chinese
standards.
The most interesting thing my
friend said, however, was that the
Chinese people are more nearly I'M
flied today as a nation than they
have ever been. The japanese ag-
erosion in Manchuria has stimu-
lated Chinese patriotism. My
friend expressed the opinion that
China would make a very effective
resistance to Japan; that it might
take years, but eventually China
including Manchuria, will be con-
trolled by the Chinese.
PERKINS in New York
Frances Perkins, the first woman
member of the Cabinet, is in pri-
vate life Mrs. Paul Wilson. Her
husband is a statistician. They
have a daughter, Susanna, who is
now about sixteen years old.
So sharp a line does Miss Perkins
draw between her public life and
her private life that it was not I'M
til her name was announced as Sec
rotary of Labor that most of the
newspaper men in Albany, where
she was head Of the New York
Labor Bureau, even knew she was
married.
Since the laws of New York do
not require a married woman to
take her husbands name unless she
feels like it, she is still legally
Frances Perkins, although in the
District of Columbia she may have
to sign the Federal payroll as Mrs.
Paul Wilson.

FRIDAY, MARCH II, 1888
MAKE THE BANKS SAFE

1t takes a long time for a demo-
cracy like ours to get into action.
Once it does get into action, how
ever, it sometimes moves pretty
fast. 1t took the people Of the
United States a long time to make
up their minds that the wal which
began in Europe in 1914 was our
war. But after we had reached
that decision, no nation in the
world ever moved as unitedly and
as speedily in carrying out its pur-
pose.
1t has taken the people of the
United States and their leaders a
long time to come to the realiza-
ton of the fact that the banking
and financial structure of the ma
ton should be completely over
hauled and ~reorganized. A great
many people have been saying that
for years, but in a Government
like ours it requires the general
agreement Of practically all of the
people to bring about any import
ant and radical change in any
part of our government system.
We think that general agree
ment has now been reached in re-
gard to the banking situation. We.
think the new Congress and the
new Administration have the peo-'
pie of the United States solidly be-
hind them in their purpose to put
into effect such changes in the
banking and fiscal laws of the ma
ton as will not only straighten
out the present difficulties, but
prevent their recurrence in the
future.
We do not think that the. time
has come for the Federal Govern
ment to go into the commercial
banking business, but we do think.
there is a good deal of merit in the
idea that all banks should be under.
Federal supervision and control. 1t
may take a Constitutional amend
ment to take the states out of the
banking business, and we are.
doubtful whether such a proposal
could be adopted. But it certainly
should be possible to give the ma
tional banks such advantages and
such a high degree of safety that
they would be preferred by all
depositors to banks not so well
supervised and protected.
The function of a bank is to
furnish. short term credit for pro-
ductive business purposes. Practi-
cally all of the banking troubles of
today are due to the banks depar-
ture from that sound elementary
principle. They have lent money
on real estate, or on securities bas-
ed on real estate, or on securities
of other kinds at highly inflated
valuations, with the result that
the money of their depositors has
been frozen in loans which cannot
be collected; and above and be-
yond that there have been reckless
and dishonest practices on the part
of bank officials, which have tend
ed to discredit the whole banking
system.
If the new Administration can
speedily enact measures which will
restore confidence in the banks
and eliminate from control all men
who have not a high sense of trus-
teeship, that will do more to in
spire confidence than anything
else that could be done.

THE MUKLUK TRAIL
(Continued from Page D

But if anything appears definite at this time, it is that the five-day week, six-hour day bill will not pass, or if it. does it will be so greatly altered as to he almost unrecognizable in it's present form. So great is the isk, however, of making any kind of a prediction that it is altogether within the realms of possibility that by the time this is, read this is read the measure will have been. enacted into .aW.
 The talk around the Capitol for the last several days has been that the bill is going to be shelved. It is sug- gested that as substitute legislation will be offered whereby trade associa- tions would regulate their own indus tries, with the Federal Government keeping close watch over the whole situation. It is problematical whether anything of that character will be of fered during the special session..
 Recent developments have indicate ed a desire not to press the fiye-day week bill. Hearings, lrst scheduled to last a. full three weeks, were sud denly cut short and ended. Friday after witnesses had been head over period of eight days.
 Alfred Sloan, Jr.,. president of Gen-. eral Motors Corporation, was the last of the important witnesses. He voiced opposition to. the Legislation. in it's present form.
 Secretary of. Labor Pekins was a strong. supporter and urged that a minimum wage provision be- added. The American Federation of Labor. could not go along. with her on that.
 As passed by. the Senate the bill provided that foreign importations would. not have to- be produced by labor conforming to the five-day week and six-hour day. Representative William Connery, IT,, of Massachu- setts introduced the House bill and it would make necessary compliance with. the measure by foreign nations ship ping their goods to the United States.

USUAL COUNTIES TO BE
 PAID BY TERRITORY

The Territory of Alaska will con- tinue the same bounties for the kill ing of wolves, coyotes. eagles, hair seals ard predatory destroyers of salmon for the next two years as. it did the last two years, according to q statement recently made to the An chorage Times by Senator Robert s. Bragaw.. The Senator says:
 -- "Some hunters and trappers have

beer. given the false impression that there will be no bounties paid for the next two yeas. But the Legisia- tsrre which has just closed made pro- vision for paying the same bounty per capita on the destroyers of game as was paid the last two years.
 "The Territory voted this session the following sums for paying boun- ties: For wolves and coyotes, $25.- 900; for eagles, $7,500; for hair seal, $25 900; for destroyers of salmon, $15,000.

because of his illness. H edid, how ever, file written statement urging that Alaska be exempted from the bill on the ground that it's application there would be nothing short of ruin ous. Every major industry in the Territory, he pointed out,. would have to curtail opeations.. perhaps almost i, to the vanishing point. Those depend ent upon the fisheries and gold min ing for their livelihood, comprising by far the majority of 4Alaskans gain fully employed, would have their in- comes drastically curtailed or per- haps even cut off altogether. The re- suit would be that the Territoy would be depopulated. Isolated mining camps where there oftentimes is no surplus of labor would have to let the precious water flow past them un- used if they were to comply strictly with the provisions of the law. The Delegate pointed out that. if. foreign products were imported without labor restrictions similar to those in the United States,. Alaska coal mines, al- ready handicapped by Bitish Colum- bia in competition, might stand in danger of losing the local markets which they have now. He also noted what the effect of all this would be on the Territorial treasury.
 Charles H. Flory, Alaska commits sioner for the Department of Agri- culture, started homeward last Fri- day.

 Seven Alaskan projects are includ- ed in the rivers and harbors bill in- troduced in the House last week. It is recommended that Congress appropriate $1O2,OOO for the impove- ment of Petersburg harbor, subject to contribution of $8,000 being made by local interests. Suitable ap- breaches. with depth of "A feet would be- provided to the. existing wharves; small boat basin II feet deep between the Trading Union wharf and Citizens wharf to line substantially followin gthe present mean lower low water line; and a short channel 40 feet wide and 8 feet to the south. side of the Forestry. Ser vice float. Annual maintenance is estimated by the Chief of Army En- gineers at.$1 ,20Q.4
 Contingent upon, assurance. from local interests that:a contract has heen entered into for the. construc- tion of cold storage plant, the bill calls for the expenditure of, $77, ,000 to provide channel 22 feet deep, and 200 feet wide .at- Kodiak. Five hun dred dollars would be required for maintenance annually.
 Six hundred dollars would be, set aside annually to clear snags hazard ous to navigation on the Stikine river.
 A recommendation is made that $5 ,0OO be set aside for clearing the channel at the head of the Egegik river.
 Congress is asked to appropriate for Wrangell Narrows $142,000, with $2,O00 fo maintenance the first year and. $500 annually for five. years thereafter, to provide for a channel "A feet deep at mean lower low. water and 275 feet wide at Shnal No. l, the easing of curves at Shoals a Nos. E. l6, and 12,, the removal of a rock pinnacle opposite Anchor Point, and five small rock pinnacles in the tow ing channel.
 The bill provides $77 7,0O0.. for dig ging a channel 6 feet deep and 60 feet wide at Dry Pass..
 Finally, an appropriation of -$58 y000 is asked for further improvement at Wrangell harbor..- A -dredged basin about 400 feet by 600 feet would be provided at the south end of the. har- bor, with depth of 10 feet below mean lower. low. water.
