VAL DEE MAN IS
 NAMED MARSHAL. FOR THE THIRD
Chester J. Todd, Veteran Democrat, Appointed
 to Replace Sullivan

Chester J. Todd, pioneer of Val dez, and veteran Democratic lead 1T of the Third Division, was to- lay named as United States Mar shal for the Third Division, in a 'ecess appointment made by Presi- dent Roosevelt, according to an As sociated Press dispatch from Wash ington to The Empire.
 MT. Todd will succeed Marshal Harvey Sullivan who has held the office since 1921. The transfer, it is expected, will be made November 1.
 MT. Todd has resided at Valdez since the early days of that com munity. He has always taken an active part in politics and has served as Chairman of the Divis- ional Democratic Committee for the Third Dovision for the past . several years. He was endorsed for the marshalsh.p by the Divisional Committee last Spring and also re- ceived the endorsement of National Committeeman James J. Connors. and the Territorial Committee of which Gov. Troy is Chairman.
 Sometime ago it was reported that the Department of Justice had disapproved the recommenda- ton for MT. Todd's appointment on his advanced age. He is 65 years old. Apparently it has re- scinded it's action in this regard and submitted his name to the President.
 Both MT. Connors and Gov Troy, when informed of the appointment today, expressed their qualification and declared they were confident MT. Todd would make one of the best Marshals ever serving in the Third Division.

He will meet municipal leaders and others in the ports he visits enroute south and discuss with them unemployment relief and other local problems The Governor expects to remain in Seattle several days before pro ceeding east.
 He will be accompanied to Seat tle by his son-in-law, Robert w. Bender. President and General Manager of the Empire Printing Company. MT. Bender will be m Seattle several days looking after company business matters.

LegaIized SaIe of Alcohol
 May Mark Beginning of Real
 Temperance, Report Intimates

NEW YORK, oct. 25.-Tf1ere is made public today portion of the results, shortly to be published, of a study, sponsored by John D Rockefeller, Jr, of the problem of liquor control. The study was con- ducted by Raymond B. Fosdick and Albert L. Scott. The portion made public today, showing how legaliza- tion of the manufacture and sale of liquor may promote temperance and sobriety, follows:
 Law and education are twin pillars of the social order. Tn re- spect to most human problems the hope of the future lies in laws soundly conceived and well admin istered, and in an educational pro- cess rooted in self-discipline and self-control.
 What is needed in this country is a national ideal, a public will, a deep desire to eradicate the evils Of alcoholic excess.
 Efforts in Other Countries
 Tn a number of countries which we have investigated, this spirit of determination is at work. In Eng land, for example, in spite of the natural handicaps of license sys- tenn, there is a definite, conscious effort toward the attainment Of temperance. Similarly, throughout Scandinavia, substantial reduction in the consumption of spirits has been effected by health educa- tion, by the promotion of sports, and by the purposeful leadership of public spirited men.
 Tn Russia, a nationwide cam paign for temperance is now in progress. Indeed, with the Rus sians. the fight for temperance has been thrown into terms of a vast symbol. Vodka, an enemy of the people, is battling at their gates. Guards are stationed in every home, school and factory. Alcoholic clin- ics and psychiatric wards as well as posters and lecturers are the weapons employed.
 From White Russia to Siberia, from the Black Sea to the Baltic, the voice of temperance leadership is heard. It is spirit that is re- flected in the daily life of the peo- pie and finds expression in thou sand forms. As a consequence, in Russia, the forces of intemperance are in retreat.
 Tt may be said that conditions abroad are utterly different from those in the United States, and the point, of course, is true. But here are examples of what can be done by the power of a national determination to check and mini mize the evils of intemperance.
 Tt is this kind of ideal, this united front against a common danger, that could change age-old attitudes toward liquor and give temperance and sobriety a sure foothold in our Twentieth Century civilization.
 Factors in New Approach
 If any program of education is to be developed it seems to us that there are a few principles that require emphasis:

EXPERIMENT OF GOVERNMENT IS
 BEING WATCHED
Gold Control Effect Opin- ions Differ Among U.
 s. Scientists

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25. - Many financial observers agree that the temporary inflationary effect to re- suit from the gold control experi- ment of the Government beginning today, and on farm products and other raw materials having world market, may advance considerable if the policy is pursued vigorously.
 But behind all this. a few econ- omists agree while many others deny there will be any but the most transient inflationary consa- quences. The economists say the action will depend to consider- able extent on the dollar price to which gold is raised.

TORONTO, Oct. 25.-Canadian Liquor control systems range from most liberal to very strict with the provincial governments holding steady hand on the bottle necks
 Quebec is in the most liberal class, and at the other extreme comes Ontario. Other Provinces have systems patterned after those os the two large central provinces and ranging between in strictness.
 Quebec Sell "AlI Corners
 In Quebec the government sells hard liquor in it's own stores over the counter bottle at a time tc all corners, beer and light wine are sold in restaurants and hotels and taverns cater to the straigh beer drinkers Beer also is sold 1T grocery stores and delivered to tht householder door on order.
 The government commission sells Canadian, Scotch and Irish whisk- ies, all sorts of wines, liqueurs brandies and 80 on. It imports only Guinness and Bass ale, the others being Canadian brands.
 In 1921, the first year of opera ton, the commission made a profit of S2,860.000 Profits rose steadily until $9,0O0,000 was shown in the year ending May 1880. Decline ir the tourist trade as well as the economic slump cut profits to s. 100000 in the fiscal year 1932-33
 Charities Get Share of Profits
 Each year the first million in profits go to public charities, and the balance is adopted to roads and education.
 Ontario's system is at the other extreme, so far os drinking is con- cerned. It bans consumption of in toxicants of any form in any place other than a private residence or hotel room used as a residence.
 No liquor can be purchased with out permit good for one year and costing S2 for hard liquor and Sl for beer and wine. Each purchase is entered on the permit at the time and forms a record which is frequently used in police court cases of bootlegging and drunken driving.
 Permit Plan Profitable
 Purchases of either spirits or beer are virtually unlimited, but abuses, however, are watched clos ely. The commission sells in gov ernment stores almost every kind of alcoholic beverage
 The permit system act. which went into eject in June, 1927, brought profits of $10,OO0000 in 1881, $9.s6O.0O0 in 1892, and an estimated $5,250,oo0 for 1883.
 Of the nine Canadian provinces, only Prince Edward Island has prohibition, All others have some form of government sale.
 The Scott act, passed by the Do- minion. became law in Prince Ed ward Island in 1880 after plsbis- cites in three counties, and the entire province became dry. as it has been since with the exception

Producers Will Be Paid in R. F. C. Debentures
 Applies to Alaska

WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.- President ROosevelt's unpre- cedented plan for controlling the American value of gold, in expectation of raising the commodity prices, was put in operation today with an offer to purchase newly mined gold at S31.36 an ounce, 27 cents higher than the days open ing quotation on the world markets.
 The metal will be paid for in Reconstruction F in a n ce Corporation 90- d a y deben- lures which Jesse Jones, Chairman of the Reconstruc- tion Finance Corporation said could be easily converted into cash.
 Government per t S are working out a plan whereby the debentures can be dis counted at the rate which will bring holders the full pur- chase price for their gold.
 An Executive Order and regula- tions will be issued outlining the procedure by which mining com panies will transfer their gold 70 the Reconstruction Finante Cor poration.
 The London price today was the lowest for the dollar in q month, representing loss of 12 cents since yesterday.
 Purchase Plan
 The purchase plan TOT the yellow metal applies to only newly mined American gold, including that from the Territories.
 No amount to be bought has been set, it being explained the Govern ment will pay the price fixed for whatever amount of metal is of- fered.
 Roosevelt Pleased
 President Roosevelt is pleased with the public's reaction on his program but asserted so far as Wall Street is concerned he will keep his future moves and next steps to himself.
 DIRECT STIMULUS
 DENVER, Colorado, Oct. B. The new gold purchasing plan of the Government is viewed as a distinct stimulus to metal mining in the Rocky Mountain region. This is the view of R. E. McElveny, General Manager of the Western of the American Smelt- ing and Refining Company, and for all of the Guggen- helm holdings. He said the plan will do much to interest capital in mining and already conditions are better in silver, copper, lead and zinc than one wear ago
