with the open season deer in Southeast
Alaska beginning today it is timely to again urge
upon all hunters the necessity of exercising every
possible precauton in the field. Every year the
list of victims of overeager sportsmen in the Nation
is appalling. There is only one way in which to
reduce it, and that is for each individual who
goes into the hills and woods to withhold fire until
he is certain the object of his aim is the animal
he is hunting, and that no human being is in the
line of fire. This is of the major tests of real
craftsmanship. Sometimes it takes lot of self
control to refrain from shooting at moving object
in the brush when the hunter is convinced in his
mind that other person is Yet, that

There a few cardinal don'ts in the sports
mans lexicon. The first and most important one is
Don't be careless If it is observed all the rest

every hunting accident is carelessness Of kind.
Loaded guns have place in boats. There is ample
time to load them after the hunting grounds are
reached and they should be unloaded before re-
embarking Care in the handling of weapons and
in determining the target before firing will insure
safety without handicapping the hunter It's lot
better to be safe than to be sorry.

President Roosevelts faith in electrified AM

sites of the Northwest seems to be shared by
growing number of citizens. But there strong
interests pulling in the opposite direction Today
the United States Chamber of Commerce issued
middle of the road report on the domestic use
of electricity 1t states
Even with substantial reductions in equip
ment cost and energy cost it is doubtful
whether the economic status of the potential
electrified home" customers is such that
the growth of home identification can be
greatly accelerated unless forced by
artificial stimulus such as Government
subsidy.
One group opposing the Roosevelt program argues
that other forms of energy at lower cost will block
electrical development
Similar objections were made when Henry Ford
started production of low priced automobiles
offering of moderate means the advantage OF
a new and convenient form of transportation
The capital cost of operating expenses OF horse
and buggy somewhat less than even the lowest

The question today is whether private capital

Our season of large-scale entertainment is over.
With the arrival and departure of the Armys Martin
bombers, the program completed In about
three weeks Juneau has entertained 5000 officers
and men of the American Navy and Army and the
British Navy For a community that has less than
twice that number of residents. that represented a
real task.
To E. M Goddard Chairman of the Special
Entertainment Committee great deal Of credit for
the creditable manner in which it was performed
Is due. The members of his committee rendered
valuable aid of course but after all it was largely
the Chairman who called upon to act. The
municipal government the Chamber of Commerce,
Masons, Elks and other organizations co-operated
whole -heartedly And not less factor in round
ing out the success was the spirit in which the
entire community entered and responded to the stua-
ton. 1t was fine example Of teamwork and dem
onstrates again that Juneau can put over anything
it undertakes. The community has right to be
proud of its record this Summer.

THE NAIVE MIR. MCAIN.

With amusing naivety, H. c. Mccain one OF
four Republican candidates for the House of Rep
resentatives in this Division has been appealing for
Democratic support by declaring that they should
be willing to follow the example set by President
Roosevelt in supporting progressive Republicans.
Just where he got the idea is not altogether GER
tain. So far we know Mr. Roosevelt isn't sup
porting any candidate in the current Congressional
campaign. In California. out of difference to the
National organization the Democrats are not OPP
posing Senator Hiram johnson. That, certain
Is the extent of Democratic support to progressive
Republicans
In Wisconsin, where Senator LaFollette is run
ming on a progressive ticket the Democrats have
q candidate which the oganization is supporting.
The is true in New Mexico where Senator
Cutting another progressive Republican, is faced
with test at the polls, Democratic opposition is
assured. Generally these Senators supported the
New Deal in Congress and giving it support at
home
Certainly Mr. Mccain can claim no consideration
on these grounds. SO far from supporting the New
Deal in Alaska, he has lost no opportunity to
attack it. Witness his unjustifed criticism of the
United States Bureau of Fisheries, one of the
agencies that has honestly and earnestly endeavored
to promote the welfare of local residents. Com
missioner Bell the first to urge code for
the salmon canning industry to the end that wages
could be boosted and fish prices increased He ana
his aides have brought the fisheries closer home
than they ever have been before. Yet Mr.. Mccain
brands Mr.. Bells administration as the worst Alaska
ever had
1t is true he prefaced his appeal for Demo-
cratic support with the statement that he approved
OF anything in the New Deal that benefited the
people. He was careful, however, not to go into
particulars on this subject. Apparently his pro-
gressiveness consists of embracing any doctrine that
will win him votes, the main object being to get
elected without regard for the how why of it.

The Trend of Savings.
New York Herald Tribune

The combined semi-annual report of the country's
mutual savings banks, showing their position as of
July reveals increase in total deposits of $685.
100000 compared with January l, and increase
! of 900 in the number OF accounts The number
OF accounts 13686000, is the largest in the history
of savings banking in the United States.
The fact that relief rolls have shown little re-
Election of the rise in employment and pay rolls in
recent months has been regarded in some quarters
evidence that savings had been seriously depleted
Only one of the several figures in the report of
tn savings banks, however, lends any substantial
support to this theory. That is the figure the
size of the average account, which has dropped to
$710 from SITS six months ago and from peak of
$753 on July 81, 1881.
Normally savings-bank deposits show a rather
steady increase from year to year, partly refecting
the natural growth of the country and the increasing
popularity of this type of institution partly reflect
ing the automatic expansion resulting from the fact
that depositors allow their dividends to accumulate
There have been but two breaks in the upward
trend in recent years One of these in the latter
half OF 1929, when many savings-bank depostors
were seized with the speculative fever and withdrew
their funds to buy stocks on margin The other
came during the worst of the depression. Through
out 1890 and 1881 deposits continued 10 expand,
and actually reached their alltime peak in January
1882, when they touched $l0030000 900. From that
point they declined to January l, 1884, when
they made their depression low of 1884 100000
1t is hazardous to draw too sweeping general
zatons from these savings figures particularly
in view of the banking difficulties of 1892 and
1888. Undoubtedly loss of confidence in all types
of banks during that period caused many people
Ito forgo interest and dividends to hoard their
cash; by the same token the return of confidence
in the banks has undoubtedly accumulated the rise
in both deposits and accounts in recent months.
One thing seems clear, however: That is that while
depression cut heavily into wages and salaries this
is more than offset far volume of savings is
concerned by the natural tendency at such times
for people, impressed by the need for assuring their
economic security, to put away larger share than
normally of what they earn

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

What do you expect when you read an editorial7
The Spokesman is interested in knowing just
what it's readers want, and whether they
pleased or displeased with what is said.
The attitude seems to have grown of late years
that an editorial is dogmatic expression Of the
EDITORS views, and as such form a definite policy
from which there is no wavering Such is not the
case, however, An editorial, it seems to us, is
merely timely opinion, presented that the reader
may form his own opinions and to nstill the spirit
Of open mindedness
To say that there are two sides to question:
and that person cannot be on the fence, is to
underestimate the diversity of mems attitudes
There not two sides, there are hundreds, and
an opinion which is expressed in print, though
it may appear final is subject to the change of
daily conditions.
We know that you do not agree with all that
is said in these editorial columns If what we say
does not conform to your idea, why not tell us
what your opinions are and how and why they
differ? Write letter to the paper. Space permit
ting, we shall be glad to publish it. If our opinions
cause people to think, know that your opn-

CALL FOR GROWERS CODE

A movement which will perhaps revoutionize
the marketing of fruit in this state, and perhaps
in all of the west, is getting good start here in
the Priest Rapids valley. To A. L. Brockway, and
those working with him, goes much of the credit
for this undertaking, the formation Of growers
code for the marketing of fruit
Surely the formation of growers code is
most logical and practical step in the program to
better the conditions of farmers of the nation.
Data already uncovered by this committee has
disclosed that during the past year-a year in
which the grower should have received a sub
stantial price for his fruit, most of the returns
went to the who handled the fruit after it
left the growers hands, leaving the producer at
the short end of the deal
Codes have been formed for the dairy and other
industries of the state. If code for the fruit
growing industry is formed under the laws passed
by the last session of the legislature, it will
that the grower will be assured of fair return
for his labors.

EDITORIAL OPINIONS
CALL FOR GROWERS CODE

The Priest Rapids fruit growers, in
letter to the Daily World, call for
a growers code, that will set a basic
price per pound or per ton for the
fruit as it leaves the growers hands.
They recognize the value of setting
minimum price on apples, but want
this price based upon what will re-
turn the grower his cost of production,
at least.
They cite the case of one lot of APP
Piles that sold for an average OF $1.23
per box loaded on cars, from which
the grower only received 80 cents a
box for the work of growing, irrigat-
ing, spraying, thinning, picking and
hauling the fruit, also interest on in
vestment, water costs, taxes, etc.
They propose that the growers of
the Pacific Northwest take over the
task of making and enforcing a mar
keting agreement. This is a large order,
but in tine last analysis, it is the
growers industry and should be man
aged and controlled by the growers.
The state laws authorize the direc-
tor of agriculture to control and Ii
cense the marketing of farm products
and under these laws, the dairy indus
try is now operating on rational
marketing basis. The Priest Rapids
growers pertinently ask, why not the
fruit industry? World.

A WORTHWHILE TRIP

We can think of no better way for any resident
of this valley to spend next Sunday than to go
to Priest Rapids and inspect the improvements
now being made there. This is an opportunity
that will perhaps never again be available as the
water will be turned back into the canal in
short time, and great part of the work will then
be covered up
The new equipment will increase the power
revenue of the Priest Rapids plant by consid-
cradle margin, and the deepening of the canal
will make possible the operation of the plant dur
ing periods of lower water than has been possible
in the past This will mean much to the land
owners of the local project and they should take
this opportunity to look over the work and be-
come better acquainted with the properties of the
district
