the command OF the Union army that was about

President Roosevelt has undertaken
some si7eable tasks, but it is question
able whether anything he has tackled
thus far is even In the same class
with the $4.8S0. .000, 900 spending job
he now is beginning.
The total Of the new work relief
appropriation is so great that most
ordinary people simply can't grasp its
magnitude.
To most American citizens, $1,000,-
600 Is hard to vizualize. Imagine
1850 stacks Of money, with 1000, 900
in each.
And in spite Of the qualifying
amendments, which congress put into
the act, the presidents latitude as to
the manner and ALLEGATION of the
spending remains extremely broad.
The ease with which "earmarked'
funds can be moved about from one
ledger column to another has been
demonstrated frequently.
The responsibility which rests on
Mr.. Roosevelt in this matter would
be positively staggering, even if it
involved only the obvious difficulties

New Frontier Is Reply to Relief
pr0hlom


BY contrast with the frantic jam of the
thousands who went to Alaska during the great
gold rush days, the present migration of some
few hundreds of people who are to be estab-
lished on farms in the Matanuska Valley looks
rather pallid.
But there is something intensely interesting
about it, nevertheless. It brings to goth CEN
tury ears last faint echo of the old home
stealing days, and it also hints that the great
territory of Alaska has future other than
that which relates to gold mines, fur-bearing
animals, and scenery.
In very small and limited way we seem
TO be regaining our frontier in this move.
In the old days the family that ran into bad
luck in a settled community could always
head for the frontier and make new start.
That is precisely what is being attempted in
this case.
The 2OO-odd farm families from Michigan,
Minnesota and Wisconsin who are going to set
tie in Alaska are now on relief. Their situation
is hopeless if they stay where they are. So,
with Uncle Sans help, they are going to the
northland to try again.
We think of Alaska as desolate polar out
post. AS matter of fact, it has vast stretches
Of fertile soil, many lakes and rivers and for
ests, and the section to which these families
are going gets less cold in winter than does
northern Michigan. The summer is short, but
much sunlight and plenty of moisture bring
abundant crops.
To be sure, it is no picnic that these 1885
pioneers are beginning. Going to new coun-
try is always hard. There will be isolation, a
sense of being infinitely removed from familiar
scenes and places, the necessity to work hard
for a small reward.
But all that is better than staying on relief,
hoping fruitlessly that something will happen
somehow to cancel old debts and put new light
Of hope in the sky.
Staying on relief for long time does some
thing to people. It removes that sense of self
reliant independence which is the Americans
most priceless traditional possession.
So it is wise thing that the government is
doing, in promoting the settlement of Alaska.
Not only does it begin to tap the great re-
sources Of that territory in new way; it also
enables at least few of our citizens to get
away from the numbing charity of public relief
and regain their old independence
BY itself it is good thing; as sample Of
q new way of meeting the relief problem it is
even better.

It is q disputed question how far poll
tics actually will enter into the de-
cisions made, but 1t Is perfectly as
sured that scores Of politicians will
do their oily best to get in on the
ground floor.
So far as the consequences are
concerned, Mr.. Roosevelt himself has
more to gain or lose than has any
claimant. Not only the success Of
his recovery program, but his own
political future may easily become in
volved.
Either q first.class failure or q first
