so-called rugged individualiSm,"

family when he is without a job and
provides a pension for him at re-

1t is amazing to me that men,
who through the positions they &C.
cupy and the opportunities they
have to be leaders in all things,
have determined to tear down the
only barrier that stands between
them and the destruction of their
profit system. We hear the captains
of big business warning us Of Fas-
cism, Communism, SovietiSn and
what not. But isn't it a fact that
through their determined fight
against shorter hours and refusal
to pay a wage that will meet the
necessary expenses of a decent liv-
ing they are displaying q selfish
ness against the very people that
have made their success possible
and against a government that has
always scrupulously protected their
interests? Hasn't such selfshness
laid the very foundation for Com
munism, the thing they fear?
This coming election will be the
most important since the Civil War.

Roosevelt and social security in all

to dictate the policies of our gov
ernment-the people in general or

WINTER THOUGHT

BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY

BY JOSEPHINE DUKE MOTLEY
In spring, in summer, and in
autumn. too,
God beauties the world for you.
But winters as bleak as an old ash
can
Perhaps He left that up to man.
So laugh, and glorify your face
with smiles
And tune your heart to tender
WileS.
Hang Christmas wreath up high
on your door,
And radiate good will galore.
Don't chill and freeze like a brown
hunk of sod,
But beadtify the world for God.

NNE of the sad features of the
~ meeting was that Peter
Beszkiewicz, who was once one of the
best township trustees in the state,
had just lost-by death-a son whom
he had named for Gov. Paul
V. McNutt. Peter is now connected
with the gasoline tax collection, a
charming person and an earnest

government employs him. He rep
resents some of the finest Polish

Middle West. The meeting did not
seem the same without Peter.

1t seems to me that our best citi-
zens do not take enough interest in
such things as jails. I once knew
minister in Indiana whose congre-
cation leaders repudiated him be-
cause he went to the Jail and talked
to the prisoners, trying to help them
as much as he could. The church
people complained that he was
publicity seeker and so he had to
find a job elsewhere. He did. He
went about as high as a man can in
his particular sect.

CHART NO. , is based on private
~ employment figures Of the La
Dor Department and tells an entirely
different story.
1t shows gains for November as
during October In fact. depart
ment economists expect to be able to
announce a total employment in
crease for the year OF around
100000.
But the total of the army of job
less is practically unchanged from
the figure in 1882.
Thus. while approXimately 1000
900 workers have returned to private
employment. no dent has been made
on the great mass of jobless. Gov
eminent experts explain this SEEM
ing paradox as follows:
l. The increase in the population.
2. archaeological developments in
production which are wiping out
tens Of thousands of jobs.
How to gear the speeding wheels
of business to the slower wheels of
employment is a problem about
which much will be heard at the
coming session of Congress.
A work-week restricted by law
the demand of organized labor-will
be among the foremost solutions
offered. In 1888 such a proposal, in
the form of 3O-hour week. came
within an ace of being enacted.
Passed overwhelmingly by the
Senate, and headed for similar &C
ton in the House, the measure was
sidetracked by the Administration
with its substitute plan of the now
defunct NRA.

T MADE it my business to visit the
~ meeting of township and coun-
ty officers at their convention here,
to listen to some Of their troubles.
My mind is not made up about
changes in the government struc-
ture, but I do want to say a word
for the township trustee. He is
closer to the people in need than
any other person and his case work.
ers are more likely to be under
standing and sympathetic than pro-
1essionals. There is something very
intimate about the operations of the
township trustee and his assistants
and before the system is destroyed
much thought should be given.
The capacity Of Indiana people
for conventions is incredible. This
one, of county and township officers,
made the hotels seethe. I am having
my spies make a check to discover
whether or not indianapolis has
bigger and better conventions than
any other city.
Six charming young ladies, all
tipping at once, we're required to
register the convention of officers.
Before one could penetrate to the
rooms where the solemn business
was being transacted one had to
have a special badge and pass a
series of deputy sheriffs and state
policemen.

I'VE wife Of the American Ambas-
sador to Brazil, has won fame in
Rio de Janeiro as the snake
woman"
Reason is that Mrs. Gibson rented
a country estate in the mountains
just above the capital, but found it
infested with snakes-many of them
poisonous.
Protecting herself with high boots,
and armed with a revolver, she
started killing them. On one oC-
casion she even staged snake
killing party, at which her guests
were invited to join in the hunt.
The total killed was set at 100
though some Of Mrs Gibsons
friends claim this is a snake story.

ENLARGED with enforcing the
" shipping laws of the United
States, the Bureau of Navigation
and Steamboat Inspection operates
a patrol fleet which itself would
hardly pass inspection
A good insight into the seaworthi-
ness of its vessels can be gathered
from the following:
The eX-presidential yacht Sc
quota was given up by Mr.. Roose-
welt because she was built of wood
and therefore considered a fire
hazard
However, with one exception, she
is the best Of the bureaus fleet.
Out of six vessels in the patrol
fleet, all but one are built Of wood
and powered by gasoline-making
them additionally inflammable.
The Sequoia had Diesel engine
and was only 10 years OLD. Some
other of the bureaus ships date
back IS years. Probably they could
not withstand a severe squat even
on the sheltered waters of the Po-
tomac.

Of the 113 men, not one was ever in the north before, it was stated Under the EZRA the men were assembled from labor camps scattered over the country, and Dr. Ostrom said not one state had been overlooked, and all are skilled workmen.
 The transient camp workers are paid at the rate of around $35 a month, but will be allowed but Y- a week while in the Matanuska, the remainder of the money being ! paid them when they return to the States in six months. The plan being that paid to them in the lump sum in the fall it will be sufficient to give them a fresh start in life.

approximately $8,000 a month, he said, virtually all of which it is planned to spend in the Territory.
 In explaining how the colonists are brought, Irwin said that the States from which the settlers come pay the cost of transportation and provide initial clothing. The set tiers pay their cost of transporta- tion for household goods, it being charged against the $3000 that will be loaned each family for 8 period of 30 years.
 Credit Plan
 Some small amount of cash will be given the settlers, he said, but mostly it will be handled on a credit basis. For their goods and supplies they will be allowed about $50 a month at the project com missary. These living expenses will be charged against their accounts, all of which will be handle through the ARRC, the corpora tion here in Juneau.
 While the project is a com munity affair in a sense it is also an individual enterprise, MT. Erwin stated. Each loan will be made direct to the individual farmer, $3,000 at three per cent interest, nothing of which will have to be paid the first five years. At the end of that time it is expected the colonists will be in shape to start paying back on their loans. Each colonist is under contract with the Government for five years. Deeds to the farmers will be held in escrow by the ARRC until the loans are paid off as in any private business, and the colonist will be given individual title when he has made his payment. At the outset tractors, trucks and certain other equipment will be handled as community property by the ARRC and the farmers will be all lowed to borrow them for their use.
 Help Those Already There
 People already living in the val ley are to be given the same priv ileges as the imported colonists Irwin explained That is, loans will be made them to carry on their farming operations. There are some IT people in the valley now some 25 per cent of whom are farmers. Loans for feed and seed will be made on a one-year basis and machinery, etc, on five-year basis.
