A New Problem

Soil erosion by wind becomes a pointed problem
In all the Upper Missouri country in the light OF the
experience with dust storms of the spring season OF
1894
The toll from it in this section this season I'M
~doubtedly amounts to thousands of dollars. in loss of
iced and deprecated soil values, to say nothing of its
thoroughly disagreeable features and the other mater
mi losses which accompanied the several weird storms
this section has experienced in the past few weeks.
Wind erosion to a large extent is the result of
cultivation which leaves subsoil loose. Following long
periods Of dry weather it is particularly hard to con-
troll The phenomenon is most pronounced In the plant
ing season and ii is then that ii does its greatest
damage.
There are various methods for control Of wind
<rosion. Summer fallow is one. Preparation OF seed
beds is developing some interesting experiments, but
the simple fact is that it arises in its most severe
form from droufh conditions. Tree planting Is most
desirable as a phase of erosion control.
The state forestry department this year has made
ar1ifAsle thousands OF trees at merely the cost OF
transportation TO all those who plant planned shelter
belts. and properly attend hem. The trees were OF q
variety whose utility has been proved. Many have
f2ken advantage OF the offer. Many more should have.
Without question this is an unusual season., but
We shall always have a wind erosion problem in
spring months in this section. Science is studying the
problem and devising controls for 1t. Di will pay to

The Daily Alaska empire., 1934-10-20

The recent announcement that eighteen of the twenty Territorial school buildings under con- strueton this Spring and Summer are completed and ready for occupancy and that two more Will soon be completed, is a splendid example of Fed eral and Territorial cooperation and of the far sghtedness, careful planning and executive ability of Territorial Commissioner of Education Anthony E. Barnes.
 Tn the hay and uncertain days of PWA a year ago. when few knew what is was all about, Com missioner Karnes laid out comprehensive survey and plan for twenty-two Territorial school houses for which dire need existed. These plans were presented to Governor Troy who in turn ewhen he went to Washington to urge full consideration for Alaska needs, and seek Federal funds for projects from the various Federal agencies through Secretary of the Interior Ickes) presented the school plans to O L. Chapman Assistant PWA Administrator and urgently requested that PWA grant funds to aid in this necessary and worthy improvement.
 One hundred seventy-five thousand dollars Of PWA money granted The Territorial Legisla- ture during the 1883 session had granted $50,0O0
 With these funds Commissioner Karnes has built twenty new schools and has portion of the fund remaining, according to Architect Inspector in Charge, J. M. Speer.
 Further, according to MT. Speer, all contracts were let on bids sent out by MT. Karnes, and only bids of Alaska residents were accepted, in accord with the plan and labor was selected iron the communities in which the schools were built The speed with which the work was completed wa in great part due to the wholehearted cooperation of local residents and business men in lending al the aid they could in furnishing supplies and labor the architect advises.
 Mir Karnes' selection of Alaskan contractors and Alaskan workers undoubtedly did much tc create this goodwill and cooperation which made
 
 comfortable schools to attend this winter completed schedule
 From the original idea of seeking the PWA assistance, through the planning and the comple ton of the schools Commissioner Karnes has showr noteworthy perception diligence and executive abl ity and has given meritorious service to the Ter ritory.

Austria's S Drink Manufact- uring Places Escape,

VIENNA, Oct. 20.-One of the peculiarities of Austria's turbulent political situation is that nobody has bombed a brewery or dyna- mited distillery.
 Apparently all factions in the struggle for power have nothing but goodwill for the producers of the nations drinks.
 Nevertheless the consumption of alcoholic beverages in Austria has been falling off at an alarming rate-at least it . is alarming for those financially interested.
 Tn 1929 Austrians downed l6 gall Ions of grain alcohol per capita an nually. On the basis of incomplete data it is estimated the 1884 con- sumption will be no more than hall. as much.
 Equally alarming dor the brew crs) has been the collapse of the nations beer thirst from 2o.6 gall Ions for each man, woman and child, to nine gallons.

Capital-L bOr Truce.
(New York World Telegraph

There has been much unnecessary misunderstood ing by capital and labor of the Presidents proposal Tor an industrial truce. Certain employers jumped
 m with the interpretation that he meant that labor
 hereafter must take what it get without appeal
 Some labor leaders advanced equally fantastic inter oretations, implying that the President plans to
 impose compulsory arbitration and revoke the basic right to strike.
 It should be clear to both sides that the Presi-
 lent, if he desires, has no power to abolish the collective bargaining law As for the Presidents desires he has just put through long delayed reorganization of MIRA. He would not reorganize old
 agencies and create new agencies to enforce Section IA and within the week propose a truce of the type to abolish those labor law enforcement agencies.
 Far from throwing those agencies the Presi-
 dent has appealed to capital and labor make full
 use of them. He says, in effect, before you fight
 with lockouts, strikes and discrimination, give these governmental agencies chance to settle your dis putes fairly and peacefully
 This is a statesmanlike appeal. It is a just appeal The employer or union unwilling to submit disputes to impartial Government agencies estab- ished by law to enforce law deserves and probably will receive sympathy from the Government or the public.
 In the last resort both capital and labor have the inherent right when all else fails to resort to
 industrial welfare. But such industrial strife can Ibe justified until the legally constituted machinery for peaceful settlement has been used honestly and has failed. We do not believe that the NRA labor agencies and the National Labor Relations Board and subsidiary boards will fail to preserve industrial peace with justice unless capital or labor tries to wreck them.
 If these agencies wrecked the resulting indus trial strife will be suicidal for both capital and labor-which means for the entire nation

democracy The greatest skill involves the greatest valor of life; the valor of life means the joy of life "in widest commonafty spread; and this in turn makes for health. The report of the Public Health Service, quoted in the dispatch from Washington, intimates that while some occupations are especially hazardous to health, this is not the main reason for the large differences in death rates in different classes Diet, medical care and low income among the causes mentioned But the happiness which the attainment and exercise of skill give must be real factor in human health.
 The true vocation of in the universe is Ito exercise skill in one or another of it's innumerable varieties'-not merely to work but to work skillfully. This philosophy applies as well to leisure Millions deprived by machines of the opportunity to acquire skill in the field of their work may yet find it in the excellent performance of the houfs of leisure. The result will be physically as well as spiritually wholesome, no matter whether we call it work or play, ESQ long as skill is the keynote of it and excellence is achieved" Among the 'unskilled" of the ten States especially studied there are nearly twice as many deaths per thousand as Among the highly skilled or professional workers
 That agricultural workers have the best record would indicate that environment has something to do with health and longevity But as between persons of much the same environment in city industry, the advantage must be, in spirit and in health, with those who find the satsfactions of skill in the field created by abundant leisure. AS time goes on, it is predicted, the whole character of industrial civilization (the trades that flourish or decay the equality of the work done the conditions under which it is done, economic and other, and it's value as an educative force) will be determined more and more by the way in which the masses of citizens spend their leisure time-"by the pleasures that attract them, by the amuse- ments they demand, by the luxuries they consume" One of the Surest sources of health and general happiness will be the cultivation of skills, both in industry and leisure, but and more in leisure. The time to acquire skill is in youth Intellige d consistent direction from parents and teacht Il create desire for skillful proficiency, whi len gained in childhood will generally prev rough adult life
