Scarcely Dictatorship.
(Cincinnati Lnquirer.)

In his analysis of the 'msdeal' of the Roose- welt Administration Representative James M BecK' of Pennsylvania draws some far-fetched concluSlons which would be very misleading if they were taken seriously Asserting that the divine right Of Kings has become the divine right of dctators, MT Beck expounded the theory that the Roosevelt Administration has established economic dictator ship Conceding that dctatorial powers have been exercised with moderation he contended that our condition is nevertheless of dictatorship
 In this it would seem that MT. Beck has fallen prey to a serious He has applied a label to the current Administration which implies something of the absolutism and tyranny characteristic of several European governments. He sleaves the lm- pression that have sunk to the level of those States in which democracy has been shelved com pletely for the arbitrary government of tyrant Even though he made no comparisons with specific dictatorshps abroad his of the term carries that connotation
 Nothing could be farther from the truth. In the police States of Europe, such Italy, Germany he made at Plymouth Vermont. The newspapers could not print such speech. And Republicans like MT Beck could not retain their seats in the Congress with the privilege of voting and speaking against the dictatorship"
 The Congress has transferred some of its pow ers to the Executive. The sphere of government in economic life is somewhat widened. These are tendencies that have been in operation for hun dred years. Their acceleration in the past year corresponds to unprecedented national economic emergency. Congress recover those powers when it wishes and the responsible personnel of the Administration can be recalled by the people in 1886 if they choose. To describe this condition as dictatorship is to present false picture

THE GERMAN ELECTION.

Next Sunday the German electorate will vote on ratification of the "Reichfuhrerschaft." This means Reich leadership and is the new job that Hitler created for himself by combination of the Presidency and the Chancellorship It is foregone conclusion Nnat the vote will be favorable. If it isn't all Germans and every foreign observer will be astounded. Hitler, himself, would be the most astonished of them all
 It isn't in the game for the outcome to be otherwise. AS dictator Hitler has used the most drastic methods to suppress opposition, eliminating in the "purging" of June 30, in which the extent of the blood shed is not now and probably never will be known The election is just another grand stand play of Der Fuhrer to impress the world with the fact that Germany is solidfied behind him, and

y as possible by the Seattle Fed eral Reserve Bank.
 This fund will be used for relief work, to employ men thrown out of work by the fire in clearing away of debris and other necessary activities in Nome. There will be no necessity of using it for direct relief, Gov. Troy said.
 He was advised today by A. L. Schafer, District Manager of the Red Cross, San Francisco, that the Red Cross will take care of all emergency needs of the fire sufferers on the basis of their needs, including food, clothing and medical attention" MT. Schafer said the Red Cross was not making an effort to ship supplies or build ing material. Please instruct us by wire if there is anything else we can do," he added.
 The Seward Red Cross offered to ship flour and certain articles of clothing it had on hand, if neces- sary or needed.
 A telegram to the Governor from Volney Richmond, Chairman of the Alaska Committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, said the Dellwood, with full cargo of food stuffs, clothing, furniture, building materials and supplies, is now load ing and will sail from Seattle Mon day or Tuesday and other vessels will leave if necessary to handle the cargoeS offered.

STRIKES LOOK GOOD
 NEAR VALDEZ CREEK

The early prediction of a Gov ernment geologists that the Val dez Creek area lis the Rand of Alaska is approaching rapid full fillment, according to an interview in the Anchorage Daily Times with Donald Mcdonald, who has been in charge of road engineering work in the Valdez area during the last season.
 'The recent gold quartz strikes in the Valdez Creek area are some- thing extraordinary" MT McDon- aid said.
 The new tunnel of the Denali group on Timberline Creek recently broke into gold quartz that looked especially promising, MT. Mcdonald added. Among the lucky placer miners on Valdez Creek, according to McDohald. are four Indians working a lease on some of the John Carlson ground They are said to have taken out $14,000 dur ing the last few weeks.
 Altogether fifty men are working placer and quartz properties in this area this season according to Me- Donald

farms, including pasture and hay
 land, and not including the tide Hats upon which many of the COWS graze for the greater part of the summer About 250 acres are now used in raising hay for fodder, and more acres are put under cultiya- tion each year. This amount of farm land, of course, will not pro- duce sufficient feed for the cattle, which must be fed about 165 days in the year, and about 400 tons of hay and grain are shipped in each fall.
 These figures alone are suffi- cient to impress the size of what is probably the fastest growing in- dustry tributary to Juneau, but the equipment with which the milk is handled is no less interesting
 Latest Equipment
 Almost without exception, the dairies are equipped with the best of devices obtainable in the way of machinery. Electric lights, steam plants, sterilizing equipment, auto matic bottlers, mechanical bottle washers, drinking fountains for the COWS, new concrete -floored barns, r lre the rule instead of the ex- option. Few farm districts in the States could exceed the Glacier Highway dairies in an average of nodernity.
 So far, dairymen nave been bare y able to keep up with the de- nand for their product in its na- sural state, and no butter is made lere. Ice-cream is made at two of she places and at only one of them n commercial quantities. Such is Che rate at which the milk sells that this latter dairy is forced to import cream for ice-cream manu- facture from the States, his herd being unable to supply the demand. Improvements
 Not only is this the situation at
 the present time, but all the dair-
 es are planning improvements and additions to be put into effect eith- er in the near future or within the next year or so. New equipment s planned, new barns projected,
 additional COWS ordered, and more land is to be placed under culti- vation.
 While all this is going on, semi annual inspections of all the cows
 by the Territorial Veterinarian en- sures a healthful quality in the milk which has thus far rendered pasteurization unnecessary. Taking it by and large, the dairy industry of Juneau, it can be readily seen by the foregoing, is ! one of which any community can well be proud, and one which is
 worthy of more than the passing not ordinarily accorded it.

Juneau's Dairying Industry IsLmge One;Demand Causes Increase; Equipment Used Is
 Latest; Value to Community

In all the publicity given Ju- neau's major industries of mining fishing and numbering, the tenden- cy has been to more or less over look one which after analysis does not seem to be minor after all.
 While this section of Alaska could scarcely be termed agricul- tural, the more pastoral industry of dairying is one which is the more impressive as it's is more closely studied.
 In the face of the number of ounces of gold produced by the Alaska-Juneau mine, and the num- Der of pounds of fish sold in the Juneau market, people are not prone to think of the number of quarts of milk produced every year by the contented cows out Gla- cier Highway.
 1carly Delivery
 Nearly one million quarts, 981 100 to be more nearly exact, are deliv- cred to local residents every year by the six dairies serving Juneau Each day, about 2,140 quarts of milk are bottled and sent around delivery routes. And the amount is increasing by leaps and bounds according ot dairy owners. Moro cows are being shipped in, anc more of local raising are being useG every year.
 The demand for, and consump- ton by Juneau residents of this million quarts of milk, also indi- cates that local residents realize the scientifically proved food and health value of milk in the daily diet of both children and adults. Division of the number of quarts by the number of residents shows a per capita consumption of about one pint per day. It is said that nearly all of this is consumed as a beverage, as Juneau has no. yet outgrown the habit of using canned milk almost exclusively fer cooking and for coffee.
 Employment
 In the handling of this quan- tity of milk, Is persons are en- ployed the year around, exclusive of the owners and their families. The annual payroll amounts to ap- proximately $l7,500, including the wages paid to extra help during having time, and not counting the cost of board and lodging provid- ed to employees, which would in- crease that sum considerably if exact figures could be determined.
 The bovine population of Gasti- neau Channel mounts into impress siye numbers, and it would be safe to say that not one in ten residents of Juneau could guess off-hand within 50 or 100 of the correct number. At present there are 272 cows in the herds owned by the dairies, including bulls, calves, non- producing heifers and milch COWS. Of that number, about 190 are pro- ducing milk at any given time.
 A total area of 1,434 acres is included within the fences of the
