How Far Will It Go?
(Kansas City Star.)

The setting up of elaborate machinery for ad- ministration of the vast work-relief program and the spending of nearly 5 billion dollars raises the question as to the precedent this type of govern ment activity will afford and, more important, how far it is to be carried in the future Even for the imaginative mind it is not easy to conceive the scope of this undertaking. Both in magnitude and in principle 1t exceeds anything heretofore sumed as a government enterprise It will enter new fields and it will entail possibly and varied alignments of public and private initiative.
 In the attention given to this program as means of relief and employment, it's significance in relation to the ambitious national planning ideals of the Administration has been but little noticed But a glance at the functions of the works allot- ment board of twenty-two members now appointed to aid the President in the selection and carrying out of projects is enough to suggest the broad under takings and the departures that are in pros pect
 Here are to be launched not merely projects of the kind that have become familiar through opera tion of the CWA PWA and other deal agencies but broad plans of rural settlement, meaning the probable shifting of millions of people from one region or one occupation to another; the provision of housing and other aids to subsistence that go with such an effort; low-cost urban housing that may involve the expenditure of hundreds of millions of dollars; rural electrification; added reclamation projects; soil protection and the related trans formation of farming methods forestation on O greatly widened scale with millions of acres of land being taken over by the Government; ventures into industry of hundreds of kinds all under Government supervision; educational public recreation and still other experiments Federally directed and all in the of relief and employment
 In reality, the works-relef program is the init ia Towering of an ideal that the Administration has cherished for some time It began to take visible form with the naming of national resources board more than year ago, then proceeded with comprehensive survey of the whole country and with a recommended reorderng and reconstruction of the country along basic lines that ultimately would cost eight to ten times the 5 billion dollars involved in the program being started
 How far such enterprise will go whether it be stopped it has been fully begun, how many additional billions it will cost what it will do to the private initiative of the country and how increasingly expansive are to become the activities of government, all tremendous ques- tions for the Americfan people to think about

A WORTHY PURPOSE.

There are many organizations for boys in the States nearly all Of which are prompted by worthy purpose but here in Alaska where population is limited and facilities meager the situation is re- versed and the main virtually only strictly boys group is the Boy Scouts. Through concerted effort of civic leaders and those parents and public spirited citizens who have the interests of boys and their future at heart the Scout movement has been developed and is battling vaantly to keep going.
 In Juneau the activity has been revived this spring and already plans being made for the summer encampment Two troops being formed and the ranks bolstered by members A new Scout Executive, Wayne Young, has been chosen to take general charge but there is still need for other leaders to help.
 There few laudable human under takings than the Boy Scout movement Founded on sound principles it has carried along through the years, gaining momentum. Its fundamental purpose of helping to equip young boys for better citizenship has given it to progress and the

STILL KEEPS THE FAITH.

Considerable speculation has been made during this session of Congress as to the strength and popularity of President Roosevelt and some have ndi cated there a certain waning of his popularity as compared with two years ago. It hardly seems possible that any human being carrying out such an extensive program has the President could help from making certain political enemies and he probably has Opposition movements are expected to capitalize that angle and it cannot be over looked that there is political campaign in the offng for next year which has no small bearing
 But the fact that Roosevelt still has heavy indoresrnent is reflected from time to time, and particularly is it significant when it comes from sources honestly opposed to him. who hope and work for his downfall but admit in private conversation that he is the strongest political figure in American life today.
 Hugh Wade, Alaska MIRA chieftan, brings an interesting angle from Iowa where he visited on his recent trip from the national capital He ran across an old boyhood friend, now Republican leader in the corn State of Iowa The Juneau man, having heard much about the grum5ling of farmers against the Agricultural Act braced his friend on the subject. The Iowans reply was: If the elec- tion was tomorrow Roosevelt would carry Iowa with larger majority than he did two years ago"
 There is than political significance attached to these reports that rickle in from time to time as to the position of President Roosevelt There IS the direct evidence of the unniseakabe faith of the American people. Net cnly unhounded faith in the nan himself magnetic figure, but faith in a program and policy which points the way to better times for every individual Politics. while always potent, has become secondary in the minds of the millions in this country during the bleak years Many have looked not only for recovery but have been battling for actual survival They convinced of the incery and honest effort of Roosevelt to help them, bis country and himself.
 The greatest single thing that the President has done is restore faith and hope in the hearts of individuals, and it is from this undying foundation that the constant reports of his strength emanate There is political pickering skirmishes over this and that and wild speuting of the third party cannonaders but it is still plainly evident that the American people Of whatever party or creed are still convinced and rightly of outstand- ing thing Roosevelt has kept the faith

Earth Wrinkles Make Weather.
(Kansas City Star.)

We do lot of talking about the weather. Prob ably more words piled up about that subject in the course of year than about any other. Yet, so the savants say, weather is not natural That is to say it is not a normal condition the earths surface.
 It seems that back of all history except that written in rock formations, for at least nine etenths of the earths existence there such thing as weather" understand it. There no variations of temperature storms; every day was the same, and if there had been the face of the earth he could have drawn up almanac forecasting weather 10000 years in advance.
 That's what the rocks show One may take it or leave it. There is recent book, written py E. E. Free and Travis Hoke for the layman which is calculated to upset all of his theories about weather. Probably it disturbs the weather sharks at Washington also; but bound up in department red tape, there isn't much they do about it.
 One learns from this compilation that until the earth cooled sufficiently to wrinkle it's surface the whole year was just fine spring day The wrinkles, the hills and valleys the and deserts with the assistance of the and the polar regions, create the weather The wrinkles compare somewhat with the scratches a billiard ball, but they are suf- ficent to movements of the air and those movements weather. There you have it. Simple, isn't it?

.Jobless Unite

BEAVER FALLS, Pa, Feb. o.
Preparations are under way here to
unite the workers on relief jobs with
those on home relief, to force in
creases of SO per cent in cash re-
lief and wages on relief jobs, it was
learned yesterday from the Unem-
ployment Council.
These preparations are the result
of meeting held here recently at
which an official of the Relief Works
Division and representa- tives of the
Council spoke. The $50 workers
who attended unanimously endorsed
the demands for so per cent in
creases in relief raised by the I'm
employment Council. Among other
demands endorsed were the ending
of discrimination and for free med
ical attention for the unemployed.
The workers declared their will
ingness to not only endorse these
demands, but to put up fight to
see that they are granted.

Millionaire lord Of the aluminium
empire, ex-SeeTetary of the Treas
ury, conniving through trickery and

government and the people is now
unrolling at Pittsburgh where he is
being sued for back taxes.
He is charged with defrauding
the government of 100000 in
taxes on his huge income.
In 1881 while Hoover and he were
ballyhooing that prosperity was
around the corner, he was selling
stocks short" for large profits.
Mellon was also making fictitious
sales in order to avoid paying in
come taxes. Through chalking up
fictitious losses he was able to get
away with 100000.

away with, and to make large re-

did his job very well.
