ANCHRAGE, Alaska, Aug 27.- Olaf Halverson, of Warren, Min nesota, finds Anchorage too civil ized; so he leaves next week for Bethel on the Kuskokwim to spend the winter teaching school there.
 Halverson came north Is months ago to survey the MatanuSka Val ley in connection with the colony.
 He says he wanted adventure and to learn the conditions of Alaska life. He did not find anything here different from the states.
 Soon her will airplane over Inter for Alaska to the remote settlement where he will winter among the Eskimos and a few whites.

 Sheely Is Giuen Praise
 roo much praise cannot be giv- en MT. Sheely and Don Irwin for the progress of the project. Also, MT Sheely's family has been a great help to him, being very pop ular among the colonists.
 One thing I noted among the colonists was their desire to pay off their indebtedness as soon as possi- ble, and the fact that they had great confidence in their prospects for so doing"
 This is MT. Kingsberry's second trip to Alaska, having been as far as Juneau thirteen years ago. Tt is wonderful country and the trip through the Inside passage the most beautiful in the world--I have made them all,D said MT. Kings berry. There should be many more tourists coming all the. time. One of the great drawbacks of the trip that I encountered among my friends in the Eastr-the long trip across the United States to reach Seattle-is now overcome by air travel. Air service from Alaska to Seattle would aid greatly"
 MT. Kingsberry was raised in &c., attle. When thirty years old he went East to take postgraduate work at Columbia University, and becoming interested in community welfare work there, remained in the East, where he, has been the past thirty years. atsf,R

Special Emissary of Hop kins Returns South
 with Good Reports

 John A. Kingsberry, special emis sary of WPA Chief Harry L. Hop kins, to the Matanuska Coloniza> ton Propect, passed through Ju- neau Tuesday on the steamer All aska, returning from his investi- gation of progress in the colony.
 While here MT Kingsberry called to pay his respects to Gov. John w Troy
 MT. Kingsberry spent seven days in the Matanuska Colony, and while there visited fifty-one homes of the settlers and Investigated the community activies He also con- tacted the older residents of the valley in order to get a complete idea of the project from every an gle.
 In remarking on his findings, Mir. Kingsberry declared the pro gress of the colony to be quite amazing up to this stage of it's de- velopment. Having some first hand knowledge as to the difficulties in getting the project under way he considered that the work com pleted so far as extraordinary. He found the colonists on the whole very loyal to Ross Sheely and the full staff of colony directors and with few exceptions they, by their own statements, were satisfied with the progress in clearing, build ing and organizing the community affairs, hopeful for the future and encouraged as to their own pros poets. Such criticism as he encoun- teerd was all of the constructive type. Only three of the fifty-one interviewed had any complaint
 Market Possibilities
 MT. Kingsberry's special purpose for MT. Hopkins was to investigate and determine market possibilities for the products of the colony, and it is in that that he found the pro- ject's greatest difficulty lay. Tn my mind, the greatest question mark in the colony's future is in the de- velopment of markets" he said. After an investigation of all fi- gures concerning the trade area along the line of the railroad, it. is my opinion that there is suf- ficient market for all of such pro- ducts as the colony will produce for sale. All depends on the proper organization of distribution facili- ties and sales promotion. I found l that the merchants of the sur- rounding areas imported such pro- ducts from the United States, be- cause heretofore they have been unable to rely on the local produc- CTS for them when they are need ed The colony's marketing or ganization must convince the mer- chants that in the colony lies a stable source of supply. In my op- inion, once a stable marketing ar rangement is arrived at-markets i for the colony's produce will be no ] longer a problem
 Mingle With C0jonists
 While among the colonists, MT. and Mrs. Kingsberry had dinners, suppers and teas with them, ate blueberries gathered from the sur rounding hills and salmon caught and prepared by them from the Knik River. T was much surprjs- ed at the plenty of everything that they enjoyed" he said Their dairying was late in getting start ed, but the dairyman is there now, installing equipment and getting the dairymen organized. It will not be long before that branch of the community is caught up with the rest.

within a single day, and after that
have used their best resources to
whisk the tremendous relief bil-the
last deficiency bill that this Con-
gress has to face-through to quick
passage. General debate was brief
indeed, and the reading of the bill
was also abbreviated. The final vote
will come Monday, just before the
Frazier-Lemke bill is brought up for
consideration.
But the word seems to have gone
out from some source that the Con-
gress should be fastened out of town
before the Conventions congregate,
and leaders apparently are pointing
their guns that way. AS stated last
week, it means discarding much legis-
lation that would have had good
chance in longer session, but in the
presidential year it has to be admit
ted that politics is the ruler.
While these political occurrences
have been taking shape the House
has given visual evidence that its
leaders have been aware of happen
ings. In one day, for instance, 1t
considered and passed three confer
ence reports on appropriation bills
that tOtalled well over a billion dol
lars. In the meantime the Senate
had made a record of some kind by
passing the Navy appropriation bill
through committee in one afternoon,
and then yesterday in shooting it
through the Senate without taking a
deep breath.
Those signs confirm the earlier
statements in this letter. The word
has evidently gone out, and leaders
But there Will be snarls to confuse
them. One possibility is the Frazier
Lemke bill that is due for its hear
ing Monday. The chance is of course
present that majority of the House
will under the rule deny it hearing
on discharge of the committee, but
most members agree that it has a
good chance of surviving the initial
conflict and having its House show
ing and going to the Senate.
Another is the relief bill, that prop
erly should be termed the last de-
ficiency bill. That has been partly
discussed earlier in the letter, and
further description of the debate on
the measure, its progress, and it's
provisions, will be deferred until next
weeks letter.
Other bills, previously referred to
in these letters. have been thrown in
to the discard, for this session at
least, and the sentiment is definitely
one for speedy evacuation of the Capt.
tai, at least by convention time.
Now that the Frazier-Lemke petit
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1936-05-14

ton is complete and operative, some
of the Administration leaders are
adopting new tactics. In the cloak
rooms and elsewhere there are fran
tic efforts on the part of some-who
disclaim they are speaking for the
heads of the organization-to have
signers of the petition agree to OPP
pose the bill on the floor. The rule
demands that majority vote to bring
it up, by discharging the Rules COM
mittee. This. say some of the Demo-
crat leaders, cannot be done. The
showdown will come Monday.
From Minnesota, Hon. c. F. Gaar-
enstroom has come down to help in
the ground work and strategy. He is
headquartering in the offices of Sena-
tor Benson, Rep. Lemke, and the writ
err. and will witness the climax of this
long and intensive fight for consider
alton of bill that has commanded
the major interest of the mid-western
States for many years.
The Townsend Plan-and capitals
are distinctly complimentary-con tin-
ues to have its day in court. With
revelations of what the chiefs are
receiving, and with the display of
promotion costs, together with other
similar data, it is said that even the
most ardent subscribers to the plan
have lost their enthusiasm, and are
giving heed to the cold and hard
figures that are coming forward.
Plan advocates try to picture them
selves as martyrs, and every one who
dares to criticize them as selfish or
selfcentured or ignorant persons. That
is their standard attack. But the
hearings, conducted with dignity and
reserve, will produce abundant ma
terial that will, public documents, be
at the disposal of any interested citi.
zens, free of charge, whether they
be for or against the Townsend Plan
on the basis of what they have
learned thus far.

SEN. COSTIGAN RETIRES
(The Progressively

(The Progressively
Word has been received that Sen.
Edward P. Costigan of Colorado, a
member of the Progressive group in
the United States senate, will not be
a candidate for reelection. Ill health
brought on by overwork will force
Sen. Costigan to retire from the ma
tional scene where he has given so
many years of meritoriOus public
/ service.
! Sen. Costigan, a Progressive Demo
crat, was elected to the U. S. senate in
1880 and has served one full term.
For more than a decade prior to his
elevation to the upper house of con-
gress he rendered invaluable service
as a member of the federal tariff COM
mission.
In his own state Sen. Costigan has
always been an eager fighter for the
cause of liberalism and led the Pro-
gressive ticket there in two bitter
elections in 1912 and 1914. Liberal
candidates who stood for principles in
the public interest could always count
on his support no matter how tough
the going.
And the going was often tough.
Colorado. dominated by big corpo-
ration and mining interests, had
not the political wisdom to appre-
ciate the efforts of it's liberals for
many years. When Sen. COstigan
won the Democratic nomination
and the election in 1880, it was a
smashing victory for a liberal
movement that had been moving
ahead against tremendous odds
for years.
Sen. Costigan's record in the U. s..
when the Colorado Progressive took
office. He has consistently stood for
progressive principles and in his six
years of service in the senate his rec
ord is an exemplary one in the de-
Tense and advancement of true liberal
ism.
Like other members of the senate
Progressive bloc, Sen. Costigan never
hesitated to put principle ahead of
party.
The loss of Sen. Costigan to future
sessions of congress and to the liberal
movement in this nation will be a
serious one indeed. As his liberal
colleagues in the senate have said, it
will be impossible to replace him.
His retirement brings to a close the
active public career of a good man
and a distinguished public service.

DEBT-INTEREST

Some good true words were spoken
on debts and interest at the national
capitol recently, and the speaker was
none other than Minnesota's senior
senator, Henrik Shipstead.
Much is said about the debts of
school districts, municipalities, states
and the nation-you can hear con-
ervatives talking about that right
along-and to be sure those obliga-
lions should not run too high, but pri-
vate debts are much bigger item.
AS nation we have got into the
habit of borrowing too much and the
main reason for that is the unequal
distribution of wealth. By borrowing
we are just staving off the evil day of
settlement. When we borrow we must
pay interest and that makes it only
worse. We must strive to have eco
nomic matters adjusted so that there
be less of public and private debts
and the constantly bearing down in
terest charges.
Here in part is what Senator Ship
stead said:
Il cannot believe that public ex-
penditures will restore purchasing
power. They will increase temporary
purchasing power, and l believe they
have done so; and the effect has been
beneficial. =.
I'VE cannot hope to balance the
budget in that way however. We can
not hope to balance the budget by in
creasing taxes. =.
I'VE have had a government deficit
for several years because of the def
cit in the pockets and the tills and
treasures of our citizens. If there
is no money in the pockets of the peo-
pie, no money flows to the federal
treasury. Raise taxes five tines,
still five times nothing is nothing. :. a.
There is not enough income pro-
duced in the United States to pay the
fixed charges of interest and taxes,
rents and leaseholds, and leave a de-
cent standard of living for the great
mass of the people. -.
Our federal debt is not the debt
that has emptied the treasures of our
private citizens and our corporations
who pay taxes to our federal treasury.
We have another debt to which no
debt in any country on the continent
of Europe can compare, and that is
our private, municipal, and corporate
debt. These debts with the in
terest charges, are hanging over the
economic life of the nation. freezing
our credit system so it cannot func-
ton. >.
Capital may object, but it is quite
likely that if capital is wise it will
take its share of the loss and reduce
interest rates or the time may
come when they may get nothing at
all.
1.-The expenditures of public funds.
can only be temporary palliative to
give us breathing spell, to give us
a chance to inaugurate policies that
will revive the commercial life of the
nation and enable a start to be made
toward redistribution of the nation
al income to the great mass of the
people, making it possible to liquidate
debts, pay interest, restore the credit
and banking systems, and revive the
economic life of the nation"
