Eyes West!

CDaily Journal of Commerce, Seattle)
 Many observing whose judgment has proved sound believe that there will be influx of hun dreds of thousands of homeseekers from the Middle West into the Pacific Northwest in the next 1ew wears They feel that opportunity is now afforded ito attract large numbers from the drought to this section Some say that more than million people will to the Northwest in the ensuing three years seeking new homes-people who have tired of periodic crop failures sweterlng summers land long months of freezing winters. There seems ground for belief that the eyes of Ia szeable army of Midwest farmers turned Ito the West It is difficult to transplant popula- tions. There innumerabe problems. But the optimism and drive of the pioneers owed it's exist ence largely to the open West The West has always been Americas "ace n the hole.' The far horizon toward the setting sun has ever appealed to the more venturesome of this country One reason why the depression hit the country so hard was that the impression in the East and Middle West has been that the Far West had nothing more to offer the homeseeker
 It may be that the President senses the possl- blity of getting worthy farmers off the unproductve and farmed -out lands of the. East and onto the more fertile lands of the West Otherwise he might not have become enthusiastic over the Columbia Basin project and other great reclamation enter prises which have been so bitterly fought by East erners.
 The West does offer people who have suffered so seriously in drought areas hope-new homes, a. new start The job Of building America has not ended. It has simply passed through one phase. There is still abundant opportunity here in the West and great trek of people, resembling sin some respects the coming of the early pioneers, may result.
 i The virgin land of the Columbia Basin. once water is available, produce enough food for a far-szed nation.
 T There are great possibilities before Those who see too much Western power, too much Vest ern farm land much optimism as to the future may be badly understanding their mark The future may reveal that the most optimistic here in the West today had little conception of the development that was to come-a development following the most damag-
 ing Midwest drought in history.

NO REGISTRATION NEEDED.

Cn5e again the old query arises-"Can one other wise qualified vote if he she has not registered!
 The answer is, of course yes" Alaska mas no rcgctrat!cn law for Territorial elections, either primary CT general. Any citizen above the age of 21. who has resided in the Territory for one year last preceding the election and 30 days in the precinct who can meet the literacy requirements is entitled to vote in next Tuesdays election.
 Every qualified resident ought to vote. There has been an apparent apathy over this campaign which does not indicate a representative vote rms is due largely to the fact that there is no contest over the office of Delegate to Congress. However we have to elect Treasurer, four Representatives and one Senator from each Division Every effort should be made tc get out large vote as possible Regardless of how you vote, you owe It to the Territory as well to yourselves to cast your ballots next Tuesday.

"Profiteering." :"
(NeW York Times.l

(New York Tfmes)
 Food prices are rising and will doubtless con- tnue to follow the commodity markets if the latter again advance But up to the present the consumers counsel of the AAA finds justification for the charge of "profiteering" From mid-April (when of the effects of the drought first antici pated) to the end of July Government figures show that the cost of months supply of fourteen foods for an average family increased from $l775 to Sl826 The spread between these figures is re- garded greater than the rise in farm prices the payment of higher wages and the processing taxes would justify There is yet little evidence of gouging" the part of pocessors distributors and the present survey depores exaggerated reports of food shortages and predictions of wildly soaring prices. Such reports, it suggests, merely tend to create buyers panic and thereby to play into the hands of would-be profieers.
 The AAA promises to keep the consumer posted concerning future changes in retail food prices and their relation to prices actually received by the farmer This information will be given out regularly through the press and radio Officials of the AAA believe that it's publication will help to hold retail costs approximately in line with prices of raw materials In addition, the Government has power
 to reduce tariffs on competing foreign food stuffs by much 50 per cent, and this authority might be used to advantage in in the event that widespread "profteering" should actually de- velop
 It has also been suggested that the Government
 invoke drastic licensing powers against distributors charging unnecessary high prices" But this is a policy of doubtful wisdom Any attempt to enforce licensing provisions in the of individual sellers in thousands of food markets each essentially local in character would certain to involve the Government in complications compared with which enforcement of the Eighteenth Amendment would seem simplicity itself.

CAUTIOUSLY CRITICAL.

Currently there has been noted an effort to create prejudice against Senator Shattucks can tidacy for reelection by termng him the Chamber of Commerce candidate" and upholdng Henry Roden, Independent candidate, as the common man. candidate. That is most il-conceved. Mir Roden we are confident would be the first to signify his disapproval of effort to stir up class feeling where the exists for none.
 True, MT. Shattuck has been active member of the Juneau Chamber of Commerce for many years serving it's President number of occasions No charge was ever made that he did not make an excellent executive officer MT. Roden, too. holds membership in the organization. He has been and now is, a member of it's Legisla- five Committee of the most important com rnittecs of the Chamber He has served in that capacity zealously and effectively He is just as much a Chamber of Commerce man as Senator sbattuck. It is something that both can take a pride in

Highway Department Asks
Maintenance Men to Report
All Accidents

A system BY which it Is hoped to OBJ
tain a record Of every automobile ac-
cident occurring on North Dakota's
highways has been instituted by w. J.
Flanagan. head Of the maintenance
division Of the state highway depart
ment, as part Of q safety program.
Flanagan has instructed the states
$50 road maintenance men to report
to him accidents in their districts.
During the last month reports Of &C
cidents ranging from automobile
deaths to m nov mishaps have been re-
ccived.
Attorney General p. o. Satire is
cooperating in the program and has
called on states attorneys to prosecute
careless drivers. He has offered the
assistanc, Of his department.
The reports OF accidents, also made
to local officials, are being studied
with q view to determining whether
needless road hazards are responsible
for mishaps. Flanagan said that
where 1t appears dangerous spots in
the roads contribute to accidents,
steps will be taken to eliminate them.
Warnings are being issued daily Of
poor road conditions and close check
Is being kept on traffic hazards.
Tentative plans also call for . pro-
gram Of education, probably by use
Of posters urging greater caution on
the part Of motorists.
The alarming increase In automobile
fatalities has spurred on the safety
work by which. 1t Is aimed to reduce
this toll. In 1888, automobile deaths
numbered 12l. the highest Of any year
In the history Of the state.

DEbACLE

TROUBLE IN FRANCE
Refusal Of Republic to Trim Fl.
nanciaI Sails Seen as
Source of Unrest

Copyright. 1884. by The Associated
PresS.)
New York, Feb. 8.-(F)-The unrest
in France has its roots, in the opin-
ion of financial authorities familiar
with French conditions, in the re-
fusal Of that republic to capitulate
with the depression.
Desperate efforts to maintain the
economic structure of the boom days
have kept the cost OF living nigh and
tax burdens remain crushing. IN
comes have dwindled.
The flareup is regarded primarily
as another manifestation Of the d.
lemma Of continued high outgo with
persistently shrinking income. French
business and financial statistics have
seemed until recently to indicate that
the worldwide spell of hard Times
was dealing lightly with France, but
students OF international finance say
the statistics have failed to reveal the
whole story.
At the London economic confer
ence last summer. members Of Amer
lean and other delegations were as
tonished to hear Frenchmen assert
informally that any severe shock to
French economic stability would bring
Fascist and radical movements In
France threatening extreme violence.
One Frenchman was then heard
privately to expostulate, do you
think If we had 100000 or more un-
employed workmen in France on q
bare subsistence dole as in England,
that they would sit quietly about on
park benches as they do here? OF
course not. They would be rioting."
The drop in the tourist business
has been particularly severe, since
pounds sterling and dollars buy from
IS to 40 per cent less In France.
