building the plant - without troubling to inquire of McCarl regarding its legality. Now he Is holding off the entire deal. Behind the tragic-comedy lies @ fundamental question -- the fate of the Rockville settlers and of other subsistence communities.
 Are they going to be permitted to earn Q living, or be forced to continue as relief wards of the government?
 McCarl says the law as 1t now stands, in effect, puts them in the latter category. The New Dealers hotly reply that he Is splitting hairs.
 Probably the problem will not be decided until the coming ses- sion of congress. Campaign Preparedness
 When Franklin D. Roosevelt begins his reelection campaign next year he will be armed with the most extensive array of un- employment fact ever assembled in the U. S.
 Steps to obtain this impor- tant information were started quietly the other day when the president approved Q S12,000,O0O work -relief project bearing the ambiguous title, "Reemploy- ment Opportunities and Re. cent Changes in Industrial Technique"
 To make sure the data gets to him in plenty of time for cam paign use, rules covering work relief projects were set aside.
 Tho specific stipulation was laid down that complete report must be in the presidents hands by next spring, and the PWA was authorized to employ whatever expert service is found necessary. Under the general PWA rule only jobless labor can be employed on it's projects. Also, the survey is to be under the joint supervision of the PWA and the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
 Boon Doggling
 The decision to make the ua- employment study was reached at on inner circle council meet- ing where 1t was agreed that the big issue of the 1e36 campaign will be New Deal expenditures.
 One point the survey will lay special stress on is technological unemployment-e labor that has been displaced by ma chimes.
 There never has been Q thor ough check of this growing prob. lem.
 Rival Congress
 The National Association of Manufacturer - fiercely against the New Deal has stolen Q march on Major George Berry's industry--labor. congress" called to revive the NRA.
 The National Manufacturers association has sent out Q call to its cohorts to meet in New York four days before Berry's Decen- Der 9th rally in Washington.
 The strategy behind the asso- ciation's maneuver is obvious.
 FIRST, 1t will get chance to fire the opening shot in the NRA issue.
 SECOND, many of the indus trialists who will attend the NAM meeting will also participate in Berry's congress. Thus they will be able to solidjfy sentiment to oppose a resurrection of the Blue Eagle.
 The association's announce ment of its confab reads like @ call to arms against the New Deal.
 1t particularly stresses the danger" of new MIRA leglsla- ton, and warns that ''lOg-rOll- ing toward 2 new MIRA under . different guise is beginning in Washington"
 Merry-GO-R Round
 While attending Q dinner give en in his honor. Senator Borah, of Idaho was asked to comment on the European wanderings of his colleague, Senator James F. Pope. Replied Bcrah dryly: "Well, if he stops the war in Africa he would be entitled to a lot of credit"

A1AhS uAAy OWAAGAs
 well organized body the bankers association does not fancy hit- or-miss nominations for office being made from the floor. There is a nominating committee which selects the ticket and insures that no goats will get on it. This year however, Q goat was the selection of the nominating committee, e MT. Bennett also of the state of Utah. MT. Bennett was charged with being Q henchman of Mar riner S. Eccles, head of the Fed- eral Reserve, Q New. Dealer, and banker whose ideas on bank ing are considered not only un- orthodox but even heretical by many of his fellows. MT. Adams on the other hand is not only opposed to the national adminis- tration but in speech early in the convention proceedings kicked the spending" features of President Roosevelt's program all over the lot. The speech not only focused the spotlight on the speaker but propelled him into 0 contest for the second vice-presi- dency. As result and fin the interest of peace and harmony" MT. Bennett withdrew his name and MT. Adams was elected. Tho interesting point in connection with the election is not that e MT. Adams from Salt Lake City won but that 0 banker holding his convictions was. Whether his viewpoint is typical of bankers as a class is open to serious doubt. There is no doubt however, that he does represent Q banking bloc sufficiently large and powerful to upset 0 precedent of the asso- citation and to- force the with drawal of the nominating corn- nlittee's choice.

Selected Poem
INDIAN SUMMER.

(Marion Doyle in the New York Times Now apples smolder on the boughs,
 And in the sheltered places, Like little tethered puffs of smoke,
 Wild asters lift their faces; And exiled Summer forced to go,
 Looks back regretfully, Like Lots wife, on her flaming world, And pays the penalty: Tomorrow's dawn will find her there; Nor all our pleading shall suffice To free her from her punishment A monolith of ice.

Disease and Remedy

Second Vice President Adams characterized government "spend- ing" financed by the sale of se- curities to the banks as "a dis- ease" and like an coming financial doctor prescribed the remedy.
 "Clearly the seat of the disease ls found in the Federal Gov ernment. Since 1t cannot spend without using the bankable funds of the nation, it is up to us to declare an embargo. We must decline Go make fur. ther purchases. We must de- clare thnt we will not finance further spending by the gov- ernment until Q genuine, honest and sincere effort K made by the Federal Government to re- store . balanced budget. .. The bankers of America should resume negotiations only under . regime of rigid economy, . balanced budget, and . sane tax program, all of which means that the moneys of our depositors and stockholders will be turned to safe, sane, sound, and profitable use."
 .
 Blackmail
 It is impossible to conceive that all the bankers who listened to this truculcnt utterance of MT. Adams agreed with 1t. Many of them realize that the banking business has still to live down the malodoroug record of the past decade. They know that c certain type of banker is just now back in the ranks of re. putable society only on q rain check. These men, who through no fault of their own were vic- tins of the depression, resent be- ing shaken up ip the bag with c lot of scalawags whose actions have brought the whole banking structure into popular disrepute. They must deplore the blackmail which MT. Adams advocated in just 50 many words. The sig nihcant feature is that they were not able, influentially or numer- ically, to prevent the speakers election,

BASKET BALL
 SCHEDULES ARE
 NOW ARRANGED

The basketball committee organiz- ed for the purpose of arranging a basketball schedule among four teams known as the Alaskans, High School, Nome Athletic Club, and Polarites, met yesterday afternoon in the Nome Public School and dis cussed the various questions to come up at that time
 It was agreed to stage the4'first games Saturday, February 18th, in the gymnasium of the native school Another point decided was that there would be two games on each game-night.
 A schedule was arranged by talk ing four numbers representing the four teams and matching them against each other. After this was done, four numbers were placed in a hat and each representative of the teams drew number from that hat and his team was henceforth known as the number. In this way the fixing of the schedule was en- tirely left to chance and proves to be fair and unbiased manner in which to match the teams.
 The matter of practice nights for each team was left up to each team to arrange for certain nights during the week.
 The schedule follows: 1. Polarites vs Alaskans, Nome Athletic Club vs High School; 2. Alaskans vs N. A. C., Polarites vs High School; 3. Alas kans vs High School, Polarites vs| N. A. C.; 4. Polarites vs Alaskans, Nome Athletic Club -vs High School; 5. Alaskans vs N. A. C., Polarites vs High School 6. Alaskans vs High School, Polarites vs N. A. c.
 It was agreed that all funds clear of expenses should be turned over over to the Bering Sea Club, an or ganization devoted to the purpose of relieving certain types of destitution among the natives of all religious denominations or creed.

Want News Outside About Presidents Birthday Doings
 Staged At Nome

In answer to requests for stories regarding the staging of entertain ments in connection with the Presi- dents Birthday Ball to be given on January 30th, for the relief of in fantile paralysis sufferers, the fol lowing telegram was sent to the Associated Presss by the Nome Daily Nugget pertaining to the activity manifested in Nome for this pur- pose. Nome, Alaska, Jan. 28 Associated Press,
 Seattle, Washington.
 Nome is actively engaged in pre- pairing for the Presidents Birthday Celebration January 30th. Chair man Judge J. H S. Morrison of the U. S. District Court for the Second Division together with special committee is preparing to stage an amateur night in the Dream Theatre here in place of a dance. This change was necessary due to the fact that all public halls were burned in Nome in the September confagra- tion, and it is now impossible to give large dance any place in Nome
 Indications point that the activity this year will far surpass that of a year ago. The citizens are especial fly interested in this wonderful pur- pose. There is no known paralysis sufferers in this section but the peo- pie are alive to the possibilities should the disease gain a foothold It is believed that wholehearted support will be given the efforts for the relief of infantile paralysis stuff erers in other parts of the nation.

one of you, and to this lodge, brother.

whose individual energy and broad
conception of the principles of Ma
sonry were largely responsible for the
organization and success of the lodge"

year of the lodges existence and
records its growth under the several
masters. Copies of the history will be
presented every member, honorary and

added, may look back with profit, and
1 hope my humble efforts will serve
some purpose in this direction"
The history of the lodge, as set forth
in Mr.. Keene's book, begins with May
10, 1907, when Mr.. Noyes invited a
few representative MaSons to meet
in the Willard Hotel to consider "a
brand-new Masonic proposition" After
full discussion those attending
pledged themselves to attempt the or
ganization of new Blue Lodge on the
following policies and principles:
81. That the membership of the
new Blue Lodge be restricted to a
limited number, much smaller than
that of the larger lodges in the juris-
diction, so that in time its members
would have more complete acquaint-
ance with and more intimate knowl-
edge of each other.
Higher Fees Fixed.
"2. That membership in the Or
ganization should be made more dim
cult OF attainment and maintenance,
and therefore the more highly priced,
by an increase in the fees for initia-
ton and afhliation and the annual
dues, so that the means would be sup
piled for frequent social intercourse
among its members and members Of
the fraternity generally"
OF the II men who attended the
first organization meeting, only two
remain on the roll-Edwin c. Graham,
active, and Harry Standiford, hon.
orary.
The proposed lodge encountered
head winds from the start. A num-
ber of MaSons were outspoken in
opposition, while others seriously ques-
toned the advisability of launching
a lodge which might involve hazard
GUS departure from established prac-
tices.
However, on October Z the name
Temple" was unanimously chosen for
the proposed lodge, and five days later
application was made to the grand
master for a dispensation. which was
granted the same day. This conferred
only the limited powers of forming a
lodge and comforting degrees. It's
authority terminated with the next
stated communication of the Grand
Lodge, when a charter was to be
granted or denied.
Carlos Brown Mirick, who Is still on
the rolls, was the first candidate to
petition for the degrees. Just prior
to his initiation Mr. Noyes. who had
been chosen worshipful master, adj
dressed the lodge as follows:
1--WE are about to undertake a great
and mighty responsibility. For the
first time this lodge is to begin the
work of making Mason, commence
the task of adding one to our brother
hood. Let us approach this duty with
a great solemnity,sa deep sense Of re-
sponsibihty, and firm intention Of
fully performing all the duties of the
future that devolve upon US from this
act.
Cites Responsibility.
"In making this man Mason, let
us devote our lives anew to the great
truths of Masonry. AS he passes
through this first degree, let us pass
through it also. AS the clear truths
enter into his heart and mind, let
them spring into renewed life in ours,
and as he swears his solemn and sa-
cred vows, let us swear ours anew.
"I call upon you to remember that
In making this man Mason you are
taking upon yourselves . weighty and
