Editors Note The fol- lowing bill was recently in troduced in Congress by Delegate Dimond, and re- fleets several years of un- tiring work on the part of many of those interested in the reindeer controversy of this section, which at war; ious times has resulted in investigations and other disputes regarding the ques ton.
 With the setup as pro- vided in this bill, it appears that at last a definite step has been taken to end this controversial issue between
 white and native owners,
 and as to how the industry should be administered.

A letter from Leslie Ner land, chairman of the com mittee on sports, of the Fairbanks Ice Carnival, re- ceived yesterday by Art Harris in response to a sug gestion imparted to Mana ger Vic Ross of the North ern Air Transport. inquir- ing into the possibilities of a Nome basketball team fly ing to Fairbanks to play games during the Ice Car nival there March 6, 2, and 8, included some very in- teresting facts.
 Mir. Nerland advised it was possible for a Nome team to obtain March 6 and 2 in the evenings for two basketball games, possibly with the Elks and the Uni versity of Alaska, 85 per- cent of the gate receipts to go to Nome. He also stated that in the past the maxi mum gate was $150 for each night.
 The letter was referred by MT. Harris to President G. R. Jackson of the N. w. Alaska Chamber of Com merce, and other business interests in Nome.
 After due consideration today, various ones, includ- ing the president of the chamber stated that due to the short time remaining it would be impossible to develop a championship aggregation to make the flight to Fairbanks, with any degree of ability with which to combat the Fair banks teams.

claim that the bill is not inflationary.
He complains that the membership OF the
House has been misled and that not a
hundred members know what it provides.
But most of them must understand that
an issue of six billion dollars worth OF
Government bonds for refinancing farm
mortgages would because Of the lack OF
demand for any such bonds, call into
force the bills provision for printing up
to $1,000, 100000 in money to be issued
in exchange for the Farm Credit Ad-
ministration bonds, and that this issue
of currency would be purely inflationary.
All of the traditional dangers of print
ing press imitation would be invited
through enactment of the bill. If the
value of the dollar were not disastrouSly
reduced, with resultant evil effects upon
all those dependent on fixed wages or
salary for income, the enactment of such
legislation, offering deceptively easy
way out of the burden of debt, would
surely pave the way for other reforms"
by heavier doses of the same medicine.
These dangers should be apparent to
those who vote on the bill. The vote
should be on the merits of the legisla-
tion, not on political expediency. A vote
on the merits of the bill would mean
its defeat.

may be said Of the current flood Of
fiction is that it will be something to
rejoice about if it only will flow straight
along to oblivion.
The present period, it seems. is an era
of cultural disintegration. Notable
achievement is so rare as to be almost
non-existent. To illustrate the point,
let echo answer the challenge: Where
are the books of 1886 justly deserving to
stand with those Of, say, 1916? Two
decades ago it was common to speak of
literary renaissance. People were
reading: "The Spoon River Anthology"
"The Purple Land" You Know Me, AL"
"Casuals of the Sea-" "Mr. Britling Sees
1t Through" Americas Coming-of
Age" Seventeen" Rivers to the Sea"
Good Friday" Windy McPherson's
Son" and THE Man Against the Sky"
Such excellent craftsmen as Edgar Lee
Masters, w. H. Hudson, Ring Lardner,
William McFee, H. G. Wells, Van Wyck
Brooks, Booth Harrington, Sara Teas
dale, John Masefield, Sherwood Ander-
son and Edwin Arlington Robinson were
busy with theoretically inexhaustible
pens. But the hope has faded. Latterly
new trend has been discernible. The
whole planet is rife with propaganda,
and propaganda rarely is art.

Successors?

Within the span of single week four
great literary personalities have finished
their work In the world and launched
out into the infinite from which no
traveller returns. They were A. E. Hous-
man, poet; Oswald Spengler, philoso-
pher; Beatrice Harraden and Mary
Johnston, novelists. To their respective
genius the age to which they belong
owes four widely famous books-"A
Shropshire Lad" THE Decline of the
West" Ships That Pass in the Night"
and ITO Have and to Hold"
But, of course, it must be conceded
that none of this accidental quartet of
authors died young. Rather, the con-
trary was true; each probably had earned
the right to rest. Yet many who care
about letters must wonder If earth is
not poorer because of their retirement
from the scene. The question Is natural:
Where are their successors?
Certainly, numbers of earnest and
ambitious novices are available to oc.
cupy the places from which they have
departed. Indeed, there is clamorous
multitude of youthful writers militantly
demanding recognition. The difficulty
lies in the fact that the shoes they aspire
to fill are too large for them. Be the
explanation what it may, there simply
is no melodist competent to sing as
Housman did, the limitations of Spengler
are weak as water, and the best that

1t Should Be Defeated.

For about two years the Democratic
leadership in the House was able to
keep the Frazier-Lemke farm mortgage
refnancing bill safely tucked away in
a pigeon hole. Now they are faced with
the task of defeating it in the open.
There are circumstances which make
this unusually difficult. In the first
place, the bill is the embodiment of an
inlationists dream come true and there
are still plenty of inflationists in both
branches of Congress. In the second
place, the bill poses as farm aid meas
ure, although Representative Jones of
Texas, chairman of the Committee on
Agriculture, says it would directly affect
only fifteen per cent of the Nations
farmers And finally, the vote is to be
taken in campaign year and vote
for the bill is apt to be vote for the
record cast in the knowledge that If the
bill should pass the Senate-highly i'm
probable-the President will veto it.
A defeat for the bill in the House,
therefore, would be good medicine, re-
eardless of what protection against its
dangerous principles lies in the Senate
or with the President A defeat for the
bill would represent triumph for the
House leadership. 1t would mean
wholesome turn in the direction OF sound
common sense by House that has been
too prone to fiirt with other queer nos
trums dished up by the depression. 1t
would successfully dampen the ardor Of
others who have been enthusiastically
bent on starting the printing presses to
smother the country and hopes for sub
stantial recovery under deluge of cheap
money.
