Retreat by Moscow.
(New York Herald Tribune.


 Coincident with the throwing off of regmenta- tion in these States, the U. S s. R. is undergoing the inevitable reaction against too great social rigidity As Washington reaXes its grasp upon the lives of private citizens so is Moscow admitting that the tovarischi are human beings entitled to some other thoughts emotions and pleasures besides those fed to them by propagandizing State A few years ago it would have been counter revolutionary to have suggested in Russia that Soviet children should be taught honor their fathers and mothers There actually premium placed upon dishonoring them, spying upon them, turning them in to the Ogpu. Now the State begins to withdraw from a highly untenabe position. It realizes that it no longer regard the family a stumbling block of the State but rather a its bulwark Love in the romantic sense was regarded bourgeois survival which to be frowned upon l if it could not be entirely stamped out Now the Soviets are actually putting Romeo and Juliet" to introduce to their people an example of true love"
 Old Bolsheviks may mutter in their boards at the turn of events but the all powerful State has collapsed before the demands of Soviet women for cosmetics Paris fashions and fabrics which do not carry in their warp and wool the representations of tractors and Red Army soldiers. The jazz band once taboo, is blaring within earshot of the tomb of Lenin and people dancing the fox trot who would have been prescribed if they had done it two years ago.
 i Some friends of the Communist experiment will see in this the evidence that the second fiveyear plan has succeeded so well that the workers are permitted thus early to enjoy it's mlennal fruits. ] Others will read into it the breakup of the State through failure of the fanatica religious zeal which has heretofore furnished the Soviet drive Whatever 4 it betokens for the future, it must that all the social planning in the world cannot change the nature of people

THE TAX BILL.

Reports are that it is climatically hot in Wash ington and it also appears that politically Congress is getting just a little bit than epid too as the long grind goes along with predictions now limiting of the session still being in November.
 The central battle of the moment seems to center around the Presidents tax bill, the newest scheme being an announced attempt to hook the Frazier Lemke farm financing bill and Patman bonus ure on the coat-tas of the tax program. The first proposes issuing three billion dollars in new money for the refinancng plan and the bonus supporters want to print another two billion of currency to pay the service certificates This naturally wins the support of the nfationsts but it doesn't fit in with the idea to get the tax measure out of the way and go home. And apparently there is con- siderable of the latter strength for already there is indication that a group of Democrats and Repub licans are trying to get their heads together for an early adjournment at any cost; that is at the cost of the tax bill In other words they propose letting it slide over until next session rather than have to make a compromise on the farm and bonus measures.
 Nearly every one would like to see Congress con- cude its deliberations as soon as possible for it doubtless would have stablizng effect. Imperative as the passage of the tax bill is to the Roosevelt program it is evident that even the Washington heat has not stifled the supporters of the bonus and the outcome may yet be long drown out affair The President however has very emphatically turned down the bonus and it is not very probably he will sanction starting the printing presses to pay it now. From here, it looks like the tax bill or nothing and nothing is not one of the words in Mir Roosevelts vocabulary

ALASKA A LA FICTION.

Some rare literary gems" being published in the States relative to Alaska and the Matanuska from the pens of writers equipped with astounding imaginations but little information, and that often incorrect. The Ketchikan Chronicle has recently uncovered of these remarkable efforts in a clipping from a Grand Rapids Mch4 paper sent by Janet Bouma, a friend in that city The article is credited to Pledge Brown and the Chronicle after explaining that Mir Brown hung his hat in the Chronicle office despite the Michigan editors note to that effect, comments follows:
 Now it may we'll be that MT. Brown has
 covered Alaska from Ketchikan to Nome to
 Point Barrow But quite positive
 that MT Pledge Brown not only has not
 worked for The Chronicle the past five
The Daily Alaska empire., 1935-07-23

years but that he hasn't even worked a single day for The Chronicle
 Here are some samples of what MT. Brown has to say about our country and the people who live in it: There is no farm ing in Alaska, never has been, nor ever will be. It is a matter of record that Gov ernment experimental stations, operating under the direction of the Department of Agriculture, have been attempting to grow foodstuffs and raise cattle in different sec tions of Alaska for the last 35 years without success. First of all there is no top soil, anywhere in Alaska, so important to farming. The largest Irish potatoes in the world have been grown in Alaska. But they are soggy and fit only for fodder. Straw berries so large that three will fill a pint box also have been grown in the Territory. M They are tasteless and stringy"
 With leanings to the poetic, Mir Brown remarks on the bitter cold of the far north country the incessant rains of the long winter months along the coast line. The terrible monotony of sitting tight in cabin through days and nights of rainfall and snow. These pioneers who stay in Alaska this winter will experience all this. They will learn that it is unsafe to ven- ture abroad after nightfal unarned, because of the huge wolf packs Made desperate by the lack of food, these packs invade even the larger towns along the coast'
 But the people of Ketchikan and Juneau cannot know the hardships under which they live unless they read on Medical service in Alaska has always been inadequate. In Juneau, the capital, city of 1000 popula- ton, there are but three physicians and in Ketchikan, the second largest town with a population of 6,C00 there are but two doc tors. And these men well over 50 years of age.'
 We might all flex our muscles and take pride in the tribute MT. Brown paid us when he said that "the men are hard, tough and ready to give battle at moments notice to man, beast or the elements" One can hardly blame the Chronicle for d ming MT. Brown

CHICAGO, February 8-Although
she is very proud of her quintuplets,
Mrs. Elzire Dionne of Callander,
Ontario. wants it remembered that
she is also the mother of five other
youngsters-and they are doing just
fine, thank you!
She doesn't want those first five to
become forgotten children"
OF course, ultra-scientific care of
the quintuplets has been, she recog-
nizes, necessary, and she is thankful
for it, but nevertheless, she feels that
she. even though a plain farmers
wife with old-fashioned ideas, has
done a commendable job in raising
children.
Lost First Born.
Only 26 years old, she has given
birth to IL children, and of that
number, 10 including the quintuplets
are living. She lost one of her first
born, Aurial, from pneumonia when
he was but an infant
But none of the remaining first
five has had a disease common to
children. No, not even the measles.
Of those first five, she said proudly
through an interpreter:
They are fine, healthy, normal,
well behaved children"
There is today remarkable con-
traSt in the way the first five and the
famous "quintS" are being reared.
The ''quints" have been put through
a carefully worked out routine, while
the first five, like Topsy in Uncle
Toms Cabin" lust crowd up"
Get Natural Sunshine.
While the 'quints" have the benefit
of artificial sun lamps, Ernest, now 8
years old and big help around the
house, together with his sister Rose,
7, and Thereze. 6; Daniel, 3. and baby
Pauline, 2, get whatever sun tanning
they can from natural sunshine
Mrs Dionne has always been
strong believer in outdoor life for
grown-ups and children.
The 'quints" have dainty little gar
ments, each carefully laundered and
sterilized The other five know what
hand -me-doWnS" are.

UTILITIES REPORT
HELD MISLEADING
Associated Gas & Electric
Co. Statement Hits Trade
Commission.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 8.-The As
sociated Gas g. Electric, Co. in a
statement issued last night replied
to the report of the Federal Trade
Commission on utilities.
In its 254th release on the SUBJ
ject of public utilities the Federal
Trade Commission has attempted to
saddle alleged manipulations of mar
ketS on certain utility groups it
stated.
In its characteristic manner the
commission again presents certain
data with respect to the Associated
Gas & Electric Co. in such a manner
as to convey an entirely erroneous
impression to the reader.
Purchases Explained.
"The method of presentation de-
liberately miSleads the reader into
believing that the company expended
large sums of its money in pur-
chases of its own securities for its
own account.
This is entirely contrary to the
fact as is shown by the commissions
own report Their statement about
the market operations of the ASso-
ciated Gas &, Electric Co. entirely
ignores facts contained in their own
report, which shows that the Sc
curity purchases referred to in this
statement were simply to fulfill Or
ders received from security dealers.
Acts Held Proper.
"The truth is that the Associated
Gas & Electric Securities Co., a wholly
owned subsidiary of Associated Gas
& Electric Co. merely acted as an
intermediary in the purchases of
Associated Gas Electric Co. Sc
curities by thousands of dealers
throughout the country who were
engaged in the distribution of the
company's securities.
"The transactions referred to were
entirely proper and appropriate in
all respects. They represented pur-
chaSeS to fill actual orders arising
from real demand for the COM
pany's securities"
Chief executives of 10 outstanding
public utility holding companies, in
joint statement, advocated the reg
ulation, but not destruction of their
type of organization. The statement
was issued following introduction in
Congress of bill proposing TO regu-
late utility holding companies.
