er, Once Helped Save
Guards Life

RICHMOND, Va, November %
(CNS)- George Crawford, now held
for murder after being brought back
from Massachusetts, while a convict
il a State road camp in 1923, helped
save the life of a State guard when
the latter was attacked with a knife
by another convict. Governor Byrd
shortended Crawford's term by a
year for the act.
Crawford is reported to have had a
bad record the first of his two terms
and for part of his second term. He
escaped twice and lost 20 per cent Of
his good conduct time on another oc-
casion for refusing to go to work.

was convicted here in 1921 for re-
ceiving and concealing stolen goods,

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. November

zenry OF Pennsylvania through their
Organizations determined to de-

to have Negro children admitted to

Governor Pinchot will fail under the

The Governor is told that the re-

YOU OWE $1,000

You, the average citizen, are in
debt $4,000. So is your wife. So are
each Of your children and all other
relatives. So is everyone else in the
country.
A part of this debt you know
about. You contracted it as a per-
sonal obligation. It's entirely your
responsibility. But another-and lar
ger part was contracted for you.
The chances are that you don't even
realize you W it-no one is dunning
you for payment, and you aren't so
much as paying the interest directly.
This latter is the public debt,
which composes a substantial pro-
tion OF a total national debt in
excess Of $780, 900 900. It's been
growing at an accelerated rate dur
ing and since the war. You've per-
mitted it to grow. You and your fell
low citizens weren't sufficiently in
terested in government to work for
policies standing for economy and
efficiency. Or you voted for measures
that increased the debt because it
was easy to do, and didn't seem to
affect you financially at all.
AS a result we are paying one Of
the highest tax rates in history. Mil
lions of u dollars go yearly to
meet the interest on debt we per-
alitted government to contract for
US. Billions will be required to re-
tire the public bonds we gave our
debtors in exchange for their mon
ey. And every business, every in
Do your part, as a voter and tax
payer, to reduce the national debt,
by opposing projects which would
ncrease it.

Individual thrift and foresight is a
nations greatest asset.
Those who buy life insurance are,
knowingly or unknowingly, acting On
that theory. They r using part of
the wherewithal earned by their
minds and muscle and aptitudes to
ate estates, to prepare for the fu-
ture, to educate their children, to as
sure an independent old age to do
the thousand and one things life in
anc offers. And they are doing
it without doles or governmental
bounties or legislative c~ompulsion.
Mr.. Hull spoke Of this in its rela-
ticn to the various theories that are
advanced proposing government in
rance against unemployment, sick
ness, want, childbirth, burial and SO
on. In effect they would destroy all
that life insurance as we know it
now, has come to be. They would i'm
peril the savings of those who have
been really thrifty and foresighted
They would put a burden on compel
ence and care, and give a premium
to waste and responsibility.
1t is one thing, as Mr.. Hull says,
to seek to better the lives and hopes
of a people, and another to so re-
gulate their affairs that all self-re-
lance, all independence, is squeezed
out of them.

A GOOD RESOLUTION FOR 1873

a UOCD llON FOK 1884
It's a little early yet for New
Years resolutions, but here's enc
worth eonsidering-"I1l do my part
to reduce fire waste ia 1884"
II a hundred million Americans
did resolve that, and didn't drop it
along about the second week Of jan
uary with the resolution concerning
smoking, the nation would have a
splendid start toward winning a diff
ficult and ancient fight. We have
long been the most prodigal of peo-
pie when it m to fire. We've
sacrificed thousands of lives and
millions of dollars to it-precisely as
tbs peoples of the pre-christian era
sacrificed their victims to the god Of
flame. In those days the reason was
superstition - in ours it is a com
bination Of ignorance and laziness.
And n is as reprehensible as the
other.
Fires mean high tax rates. They
mean terror and misery and disaster.
They mean qualification and despair.
They've ruined whole communities.
Their total economic waste can't be
expressed accurately in figures-the
direct loss comes to between four
hundred and five hundred million a
year, and the indirect waste is sew
eral times as great.

REGULATE TRANSPORTATION

In a recent address concerning the
need for adequate and equitable re-
gulation Of all forms of transporta-
ton, Carl r. Gray, President Of the
Union Pacific System, said: "The
position of the RAILROADS is not in it
self alarming. So far as the depres-
sion period is concerned, the rail
carriers face the same conditions as
othe. enterprises a greatly lessen
ed business. In the necessity that
thar maintain e certain fixed service,
hex a. have 4 definite disability not
experienced by business which is not
vested with a public interest. On the
other hand they possess unique ele-
ments of advantage in that there
has been proven to be a stage below
which traffic cannot be depressed.
The nation be fed, clothed, and kept
warm, and in the supply of these
vital needs the railroads provide the
initial service. The problems of
h "a. ca. e which are distinctly
associated with the depression are
not in any important respect peculiar
to them alone. AS they have shared
with business the results of the de-
preston, they cannot be denied q
participation in the benefits which
will result from an increasing tide Of
busireSs."
We are Witnessing great expert
ments by government, whereby IN

the enemy of stability, is hoped to
be eliminated. Certainly So vital an

RECOVERY PROGRAM NEEDS
THE UTILITIES

In an article in Electric Light anC
Power for September, Harper Leecl
brings a fresh and interesting vie z
point to bear on the present relation
between the government and the
utility industry. He points out not
only that the utilities face an import
ant financing problem, but that ii
the financing problem is a great one
to the utilities, it is still greater 50
far as government and are
concerned.
Mr.. Leech states unequivocally
that stagnation of the utility indus
try would mean the absolute collapse
of the whole industrial recovery pro-
gram. In suppot of that statistics
are his best witness. In normal times
IN recent years. utility output has in
ceased by about ten per cent annual
ly. As new uses for power develop
and there is stimulated employment
OF electricity for such purposes as
refrigerating, heating, cooking and
electricity on the farm, the best
opinion is that normal growth in the
future must be much in excess of
that ten per cent.
That ten per cent, however, makes
a very substantial total. In 1926 it
cost $500, O00,0 900 to provide it. In
1880 it cost $3.50 900 and in 1881,
$500, 100000. Sums of money such as
these can only be obtained from in
vestors- individuals who have faith
in the future and the earning cap
acity Of a particular power company.
Anything that discourages utility in
vestmen-anything that makes it J
difficult or impossible for companies
to finance expansion and improve !
ment-strikes a blow at recovery and
employment.
Again, as Mr.. Leech says, it is j
power that is going to put men back J
work. Men work with machines, \
md more and more of the machines :
are electrically driven. We aren't ]
going to return to OK teams or spin ]
ming wheels. The private utility in !
iustry is in a position to supply the =
amounts Of new power that will !;
De needed. 1t encompasses the whole =
COUNTRY, and is amazingly sensitive to Z
ocal conditions. =
What we are doing now is to dis =
and hamper the utilities, q
through taxation and unfair govern q

-~erstandable at a time when all the v
esources of the nation should be q

DEER WILL BE
 GIVEN RELIEF
 IN THIS AREA
Animals Affected Only in Restricted Area Where
 Forage Will Be Cut

Relief will be carried to famine harried deer herds in a narrow belt extending from Juneau west erly across Admiralty Island, out through Northern Chichagof Island bordering Icy Strait, it was made known today by E. M Goddard, Acting executive officer of the AL aska Game Commission.
 A survey is now in progress in the west coast of Admiralty Island and relief parties will be sent out from here without delay. Baranof Island, Wrangell Narrows, Ket- chikan and lower west coast dis tricts report normal conditions with no rescue work needed, MT. Goddard said.
 Snow conditions. said reports re- ceived by the Commission are ab- normal only from Juneau, north and west. South of that line s ss.-e deer are said to be in ever aeI- ter condition that norma; a1G up until few days ago, Admiralty Island sections were not conSid- cred in bad shape. The affected area is limited in extent and it is believed the animals can be saved by cutting forage. This will be undertaken by the Commission.
 The patrol boat Seal, with Game Warden Frank Dufresne aboard, is now in Chatham Strait and MT. Dufresne is surveying the adjacent areas. It will arrive here some time tomorrow and as soon as arrangements can be made it will leave with men to cut forage in the affected districts.
 Douglas Island deer are also re- ported to be in extremely desper- ate straits. Relief will be given hem at once.
