segment of legislators who keep
their eyes on the historical signif-
icance of passing events. This
group wants to have q leading part
in enactment Of the social security
legislation because, it must be said,
this is the greatest of all expert
ments undertaken at any time by.
the American government. From
lobby conversation it is perfectly
evident that there are many men
in the house and senate who would
be willing to retire to whatever
rewards their political service has
given them only to become known
as the father of the social security
legislation.
This condition has precipitated
several humorous circumstances.
Senator Wagner of New York
sponsored the legislation in the
senate and Representative Lewis
of Maryland proposed it in the
house. eSnator Wagner's commit
tee arranged to start hearings ON a
stated date in the senate and that
dade was announced rather sud-
denly. No sooner had the Wagner
committee hearings been announc-
ed than Representative Doughton
of North Carolina scheduled SINH
lar hearings before his ways and
means committee in the house. He
set the hearings one day ahead of
the senate and the rivalry between
the two for headline witnesses has
been, to say the least, a source of
many jokes.
Trouble Ahead
Some weeks ago I reported to
you that there were rumbliEgs of
difficulties ahead for the Presi-
dents gigantic works program, as
his new experiment in recovery eff
forts is described. He asked con-
CESS FOR lump SUM Of S4,S0O,-
100000 with which to revive the
heavy industries and other lines of
commercial endeavor that the
may absorb some Of those unem-
ployed now on relief rolls. It will
be remembered that in hls ANNUAL
message to congress he said with
emphasis that federal said to the
dos ..nte must stop. that the Civ
ing Of relief directly was a state
responsibility.
The first hitch encountered hy
the administration wheelhc -ses in
guiding tie public works bill thru
congress developed in the house
w len ths leaders, anxious to pass
the legislation as the White House
dictated, sought special rule
which limited debate to a couple
o. hours and made it almost i'm
possible for individual members to
amend the bill. Several scores of
Democrats and all of the Republi-
cans baked. For several days the
house leaders fought CALAMITY to
keep the stubborn opposition from
running away with things, but the
OBJECTIONS from the Democratic
ranks became so large that COM
promise had to be offered. 1t was
accepted and the Republican crit
les and Democratic opponents were
successfully squelched.

Proper Maintenance.
The vital Importance of proper
maintenance of vehicles has been
stressed repeatedly in connection with
The Star campaign. Strict inspection
and rigid maintenance standards have
been urged upon all operators of mo-
tor vehicles as voluntary measure
in the interests of safety, in the alb
sence Of compulsory inspection regula-
tions. A compulsory inspection act
now is pending in Congress and prob
ably will be called up for House ac-
ton early in the coming session.
1t has been pointed out by safety
engineers that motor vehicles brake
requirements in Washington do not
come up to the standards recommend
ed in the uniform traffic code of the
National Conference on Street and
Highway Safety. A local survey re-
vealed that in tests for heavy pneu-
matic-tired trucks, vehicles of this
type fell short of the standards for
passenger automobiles, although both
are allowed the same speed, except in
cases where gross weight exceeds
$4,000 pounds.
The National Conference on Street
and Highway Safety has approved

ments, believing, the new, high-pow-
cred motor vehicle should be subjected
to more rigid tests. Under the pro-
posal both passenger cars and pneu-
matic-tired trucks would be required
to be able to stop within 80 feet with
foot brakes and at distance Of S.

given at speed Of 20 miles per hour.
Present Regulations.
Under present District regulations
an automobile travelling at 20 miles
per hour must be able to stop within
40 feet with foot brakes and rs feet
with hand brakes. Light pneumatic
tired trucks, weighing 1K tons or
less. are required to meet the same
requirements For pneumatic-tired
trucks weighing more than IL tons
the brake tests are given at speeds
Of only is miles per hour, from which
speed the heavier trucks are required

tests are with trucks empty. Z.
Where the gross weight Of any truck
is more than $4,000 pounds the speed

There are approximately $4,000
trucks Of all types in washington, in
addition n approximately 172.000

is no reason to doubt that at least the same or a larger output can be maintained for some years to come. Thus extensive new develop ment in the vicinity of Ester Creek in the Fairbanks district should reach a productive stage shortly, and one of the largest operators on Seward Peninsula would doubt less have shown much larger pro- duction had the company been able to prepare sufficient ground in an earlier season for full-time opera tion in 1884. New equipment is be- ing placed on several of the placer properties, and plans are being formulated for larger and better mining operations throughout the Territory. Among plans of this sort may be mentioned explora- tions and developments that were in progress on Dan Creek, in the Copper River region; at Coal Creek and Walker Fork in the Circle and Fortymile districts, in the eastern part of the Yukon region; in the Hit Springs and Tolovana districts, in the central portion of the Yu- kon region; and in the Ruby, Idita- rod and Innoko districts, in the western part of the Yukon region On the whole the story of the years placer-mining operations in Alaska may be summed up as re- cording an encouraging increase in output and indicating pronounced revival of mining activities.
 Copper
 The value of the production of copper from Alaska has for many years. been an important item in the annual inventory of the min eral output of the Territory, amounting to the enormous total of more than 100000. With the recent decline in the price of cop per, however, it has no longer i been profitable to continue the operation of the large Alaska cop per mines, and they were closed down in 1883 and remained mop erative in 1884. This condition of [ course should not be interpreted as indicating that these deposits , have been exhausted and have per- manently ceased to represent inn portant reserves of copper. It simp- ly means that with copper selling at only little more than 8 cents a pound, the responsible mine managers felt that it was only the part of wise business management to cut off production. Although no Alaska ores valuable primarily for their copper content were mined l in 1884 small amounts of the metal were recovered as a byproduct in the course of treatment of ores

put from the other lode-gold dis tricts.
 The greatest increase in the val- ue of the lode production of these ether districts occurred in the Will low Greek and Fairbanks districts in each of which the value of the output was nearly double that in 1883. Increases were also noted from many of the scattered small CT gold lode mines in Alaska. In fact, there was a notable stimula- tion in lode prospecting through out the Territory, and at several places pre- imin ary development work that had been in progress for some time was rapidly ap- preaching such stage that the properties should soon commence actual production. Among mines of this sort may be mentioned that of the Bremner Gold Mining Com pany in the Copper River Region and several of the properties in the Prince William Sound region. AL together the outlook for material increase in the lode-gold output of the Territory in the near future seems excellent. es
 From Placers
 The placer production from Alas ka in 1884 showed a very great in- crease in value over that for the preceding year, owing to the in creased price of gold, but it was also somewhat greater in quantity. The Yukon region, including a doz- en CT more important mining dis tricts and scores of small camps throughout it's extent, continued to lead in the value of it's placer out put, which is estimated at about $7, 100000. Second in the list was Seward Peninsula, with nine prin- cipal districts, which had an esti- mated placer output worth nearly $1 100000. These were followed by the Kuskokwim, Cook Inlet-Susit- na, and Copper River regions named in the relative order of their estimated placer production, with small amounts from north- western Alaska, southeastern Alas ka, and southwestern Alaska.
 Of the gold won from placers about 75 percent was recovered by dredges, the remainder being re- covered by hydraulic methods, by the use of mechanical scrapers, or by the more primitive and simpler methods of ground sluicing and shoveling the gold-bearing gravel into sluice boxes by hand. Twen- ty-nine dredges, Is in the Yukon region, B in the Seward Peninsula, and in the Kuskokwim region, were active throughout the season. In spite of the large output of gold from the dredges in 1884 there
