BOOKS :. The New Deal
People are not buying so many
books, these days; but good books
are selling more than they did.
There was a period of several years
in which any book would sell if it
were only nasty enough, and a
great number of prurient-minded
would-be authors, who never had
mastered ever the rudiments of
writing, broke into print with vol
umes which irresponsible publish
|ers put u and which seemed to
find a ready market.
That sort of literature is fad
ing from the scene. In its place
are serious discussions Of important
and vital questions, which people
who are eager to know what all the
economic troubles are about, are
rushing to buy.
To my desk come many books.
In the past ten days l have received
not less than six books discussing
the New Deal from different angles
all of them worth reading, al
though l don't agree with all of
the authors.

money out for "modernization" of
homes at the att of hundreds of
millions, and if the reports which
reach Jim Motifs headquarters are
to be relied on, some time next

run to a billion dollars or more of

increase in employment in the
building trades.

Richberg was for years counsel for
the railroad brotherhoods. He does
not believe strongly in government
dictation to business, but he doesn't
think business can organize effec-

Government lends a hand. Clay

Non-partisan

Another Wallace - Professor
Schuyler C. Wallace, who holds the
chair of Public Law at Columbia
University-has written a book
which gives to the average reader
a clearer and more understandable
picture of the New Deal than any
single volume l have seen. Pro-
Ifessor Wallace, while sympathetic,
seems to have preserved a nom
partisan, impartial point of view.
To the facts about the various
phases of the efforts of the Ad-
Iministration he adds his own COM
ments and interpretations, which
would resitate to indirse as a whole
but which are plainly and fairly
stated.
For the average reader this is
perhaps the most generally useful
book of the lot on my disk.

"in," not to put in any more
bids and wreck the parade.
Another printing concern, a
Minneapolis company, several
years ago followed suit and put
in a bid. That concern received
part Of the work on a big, pri-
vate printing contract obtained
by one of those on the ''in, -
not to put in any more bids on
State work.
These instances hint of collu-
sion and graft, but even in the
palmy days there was no re-
fusal to permit printers to bid
on the work. 1t remained for
the Farmer-Labor party to put
that system into effect, much as
the scheme of letting paving
contracts which was described
by the supreme court as an
open invitation to graft and
fraud.
Laymen who are not versed
in the printing business will be
interested in knowing that our
State printing contract is let
at a bid price for setting limo
type, which is far below the &C.
tual cost of setting the type.
The catch is in the fact that
many jobs, such as the Legisla-
tive reports, are printed and re-
printed time and again, the
State paying the full linotype
setting price for each time the
job is printed. By this method,
although the original charge is
less than cost, the ultimate re-
turn is several times more than
the amount an honest printer
could ever hope to get for the
work. And it is out of this
eleverly handled excess cost that
payments have been made by the
syndicate that has been enjoy
ing the spoils, to other printers
to keep them from spelling the
parade with their respectable
bids.
Why Spielman should be
kept on the job after the expo
sure OF last week, is a mystery
to all onlookers. Members of
the Big Three-E. j. Pearlove.
Carl R. Erickson, and I. G.
Strout-at once passed the
buck to Spielman for the at
tempt to suppress bidding. They
declare they arranged specif-
cations and then turned the mat
ter over to the State printer to
receive bids and report on the
bids obtained. If their stories
are true, they should have no
hesitancy in demanding the
resignation of Spielman. If they
are IN hole, where they dare
not start anything, the deal is
a closed incident.

Dancing Continues Until Early Morning Hours at

Marked by a gala atmosphere and a jolly crowd, the American Legion Armistice Day ball held on Saturday night at the Elks hall was one of the most enjoyable and successful parties. given in Juneau this fall. The good sized hall was taxed to capacity by whirling cou- ples who danced to excellent music provided by Earl Blinzer's five piece orchestra.
 Dancing began at 10 o'clock when the crowd started to gather and within an hour or two the hall was packed, many who preferred watching the fun to dancing, occu- pying the balcony. That the party was enjoyed was evidenced that the hall was still crowded when dancing stopped at nearly 2 o'clock

TALLApOOsA ID SEARCH MESSING PARTY
Will Be Absent from Ju- neau for Three or
 Four Days

At midnight last night the Unit ed States Coast Guard cutter Tal- lapoosa, Capt. Fletcher w. Brown, commander, left its Juneau base for Admiralty Island to look for party of hunters who left here a week ago and have been overdue since last Thursday.
 The party, which included J. E. Click, of the United States Bureau of Indian Affairs office staff, left here last weekend on the gasboat of Stanley Sutton, resident of the Indian Village and are now four days past due as they expected to return to town last Thursday.
 After searching for the hunters the Tallapoosa will proceed to Sit ka to lend aid to a gasboat re- ported to be in distress having lost it's propeller. The cutter will prob ably be absent from Juneau for three or four days.
