A Republican Theory
CNew York Times)

CNew York Times)
 It is Republican doctrine, restated by Governor Landon in his acceptance speech, that the policies of the Roosevelt Administration have taken the American farmer of foreign markets" with dsas-
 rous consequences for American agriculture. The logic behind this accusation runs as follows the Ad ministraton has curailed the production of of our most important export crops; it has thereby couraged foreigners to increase their productions
 the result has been calamitous loss of business for American producers who might otherwise be selling their goods abroad.
 But when did American agriculture actually begin
 to suffer it's heavy losses in the foreign fedP Listen to a Republican Secretary of Agriculture MT Hyde reporting to Republican President MT. Hooverl in the autumn of 1882:
 Exports of the principal agricultural products from the United States in the fiscal year 1881 -32 declined in value 28 per from those of the pre- ceding year 50 per cent from those of 192930 and per cent from those of 1928-29 The decline dur ing 1S3l32 carried the value of the principal agricul tural exports down to about the level at the beginning of the century Great surpluses remained unsold But for price cuts, the surpluses would have been mountain high Reduced buying power abroad was not the only of the drop in our agricultural exports. Increased farm production in Europe and elsewhere had great deal to do with it.
 All this, be it noted was before MT. Roosevelt was elected before the letters AAA had been put together and before the first crop -curtament plan wac tried Why were American farm exports already declining drastically and why was European farm production already increasing rapidly? For highly important reason: Because American investors no longer lending abroad the vast of money which enabled foreigners to buy goods Once that process ceased the prohbitive American tariff system which the Re- publican party brides itself having established in this country effectively prevented foreigners from ob- ta1ning tthrough the sale of their products in our markets) sufficient dollar exchange with which to maintain purchases of farm products at their former pace Inevitably their purchases declined evitably their own production of farm products in- creased, frequently under the stimulation of Govern ment subsidies By the time AAA arrived upon the scene the whole process was far advanced that a large number of American farmers producing for a foreign market which was no longer in existence At this point began the experiment with artificial scarcity
 That the essence of the story of lost foreign marketsexcept for the fact that if to recover them we must lower tariffs in order to stim- late trade in both directionsa policy which the Re- publican party strenuousy opposes

TWO MILLION DOLLARS!

Virtually everyone unless they belong to the America Liberty League, will concede that $2000OOo is a lot of money Divided between the 30000 white residents in Alaska, for example, it averages around $7O apiece. Still not bad with the holidays in the offing
 But the point is that $2OO0O0O, in round figures represents the increase in bank deposits in the Ter ritory of Alaska during the year from June, 30 1885 to June 3O 1886, the fiscal year previous The compilation has been made by Territorial Treas Olson from the statements received from the eleven Territorial and four National banks of the Territory.
 It reflects rather clearly that business is the boom in the north Deposits do not grow unless people have money to put in the banks. It is not diff fcut to remember back about three years when bank deposits throughout the country dwndling away to nothing and financial institutions crashing about the land, dozens at crack the results of the Hoover debace spread the country. The only thing the bank statements in those days revealed how long would be before another financial house went the rocks.
 But the present report published in yesterdays Empire, gives different picture It gives encour- aging invigorang, inspiring picture It shows con- fdence and progress It reveals that the average per- in the Territory of Alaska is whole lot better off than he three four years ago. year ago.
 Let us look again at those banking figures as given by MT. Olson. For the period ending June 30 this Aggregate totals for all the banks in the Territory: Capital. $840,OOO; surplus and undivided profits, $92556 deposits, STATEHOOD The previous year: Capital $89000O; surplus and undivided pro- fits, $934OOO; deposits $1,S33O00. An increase of approximately $2000000 in deposits
 When notes the reports of the tremendous run of fish this in the various Alaska waters the huge pack in Bristol Bay of 1393O00 cases and canned salmon overflowing the docks at Cordova the revived mining activities the result of the n- creased price of gold, it is not difficult to imagine that better report will be revealed after June SO 1937
 The corner where Herbert Hoover and his follow CTS waited so long to keep anticipated date with prosperity has been eliminated the to better times in Alaska and throughout the nation. That old corner is on an abandoned side road All traffic is following the and straight road to progress and better conditions now, and Alaska as the bank reports reveal, it right up there in the vanguard

FRIDAY, AUGUST ', 1886.

FRIDAY, AUGUST T, 1886.
 Benefic aspects rule strongly to- day, according to astrology. It is time to push all important mai ters, especially those related to fi- nance.
 It is an suspicious day for be- ginning important enterprises. Rap i'd development of plans is probably under this configuration.
 Merchants should profit today through large orders for leather goods, blankets and mems clothing. Shoemakers are to enjoy a big trade in the autumn.
 The stars encourage the massing of men in groups and seem to pre- sage extensive military training of both men and women but not in any way commented with the gov- ernment.
 Promotion of naval and army officers is forecast. Interest in preparedness is likely to increase while strong opposition develops among those who advocate peace at any price.
 Resorts of every sort are to enjoy great profit through this month when there will be extraordinary gayety among those who seek rest and recreation.
 Uranus afflicting the Sun is be- lieved to contribute to the insta- bility of foreign governments. A famous probate will close his note worthy career before late autumn.
 There is sinister sign affecting public speakers who should watch the words they utter on political stumps.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of 8 year of pros perity Friends will contribute much to enjoyment in coming months.
 Children born on this day prob ably will be popular and clever. Subjects of this sign have great adaptability and many develop ar tistic talents.
 Billie Burke, American actress, was born on this day 1886. Others who have celebrated it as a birth day include Joseph Rodman Drake, poet, 1795; Charles Warren Stod- dard, poet. 1843; Powell Clayton, one-time ambassador to Mexico, 1883.

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE NATIONAL
 DEBT PICTURE

There number of interesting features about increased national debt which the critics of the Roosevelt administration fail to say anything about For example so sklful and successful has the Roosevelt regime been in refunding the principal at record low interest rates that actually the total interest burden for the last fiscal year has been less than for any year between 1920 and 1927 in spite of the increased amount of outstanding principal.
 Assistant Attorney General John Dickinson, re- gently speaking the subject makes this enlghten- ing statement:
 The annual interest charge for the fiscal year ending June 3o 1886 was $7420O0OOO No critic of the President has mentioned the fact that during that fiscal year result of the general increase of bus
The Daily Alaska empire., 1936-08-06

ness activity the ordinary federal taxes resulted in an increase $75000O0OO in ordinary government rs- ceipts than enough to defray the entire inter est charge on our present national debt.
 "A second interesting fact never referred to of course by the Presidents critics, is that the increase of approximately $120OOOoOOOo in national debt since March 1933 has been accompanied by practically no increase at all in the debts of states and loca ties The entire increase the total public debt rep resens only onethird of the increase in the value of the stocks and bonds listed the New York Stock Exchange during the period leaving wholly out of account the vastly greater restoration of values in all other sorts of property business man who by borrowing certain could thereby triple his capi tai would consider that he has made a splendid bargain.
 "A third fact alluded to by Roosevelt critics is that very considerable proportion of the increase in federal indebtedness, which has been incurred for the purpose of making loans to business, to home owners to farmers is recoverable The record of re- already made only be surprising to those who pretend lack of confidence in the integrity of Americans" ."t sH

Newspaper Ads
 Most Valuable
 in Dress Sales
Research Study Is Made Concerning Best Known
 Advertising

BOSTON, Aug. 6. - Newspaper advertising is found more import ant than anything else in leading women to choose the store at which to buy their dresses, says a re- search study made public here.
 In Boston, the study found, 43 per cent of the women bought their dresses at the store the advertising of which they liked best To att tract patronage, says the report, it is more important for store to have the best-liked advertising than it is to have a reputation for the best style, best quality or the low est prices.
 The study was made by Charles c. Stech, New York research spe- cialist and adviser or better selling More than 5000 women were inter viewed in Boston in the survey. Six leading Boston department stores were used as basis for com parison The advertising of each Boston newspaper was studied.
 For selling of women's dresses" the report states, advertising is 16 per cent more important than low price; 27 per cent more inn portant than style, and "A per cent more important than quality.
 The figures change in case of misses dresses. There advertising is 21 per cnt less important than low price. But it is 21 per cent more important than style and 35 per cent more important than quality"
