WHY NOT NTASILLA?

Tasilla, our little neighboring town just l2 miles across the val- ley, can give Fairbanks cards and spades when it comes to natural ad- vantages as the site for a propO sed airbase. Thy has it never been properly publicized as an excellent site? ~~~
 Do the authorities in Washington know that the Matanuska is the only fog-free valley on or near the coast of Alaska; that we have had only 5 hours of ground fog here during the past year; that 60 below is dangerous flying weather, and that our minimum here last winter was only minus 90?
 Thy have the base at Fairbanks which is sub ject to isol olation thru criDDling of transDortation arter- ies while Wasilla is right in the heart of what will be Alaska's largest agri cultural region within the next two years?
 Thy, in the event of war, Will it be necessary to cross range or cloud caDped mountains in order to meet the enemy before it can des- troy the railroad? Wasilla is only l2 miles from salt water transDorta. tion by small boat, yet safe from shelling by enemy warships because they wouldn't dare enter the inlet.
 Lake Lucille is large enough to permit the landing and taking off of all size air craft, and there is enouqh flat country there to build a hundred landing fields.
 The Little Susitna River could. l furnish a water supply and electric power. Construction material in the fo rms of TO ok for masonry and tim Der for rough work are handy.
 Constru ction of barges of shal- low draft and the building of a short DiDe-l line would solve the problem of a petrol leum reserve.
 Why use the extremely vulnerable Aleutian Islands? They would be duck-soup for an invader who might want to blow the Navy petro leum re- serve off the map. The Aleuts are a long ways from Fairbanks for the successful operation of interceDtor
 For all 'round advantage it ap- pears that the Matanuska Valley has it all over any other district in Alaska.

THE WHY OF DIR. TOWNSEND

THE significance of the House investigation of the
townsend plan lies not much in what Ponz
methods If any, are revealed the part of its or
ganizers. That is old stuff in America
For years, this country has been high pressured
by experts Statesmen for big and little business have
found scant trade resistance to anything, whether
phony stock or submerged subdivision lots or some
new gaoget. Equally easy has been the peddling of
IDEAS and prejudces, witness the success of the
Anti-Saloon League and the Ku-Klux Khan. Years
ago Barnum found sucker being born every min
ute in America.
Measured by the Hoover new era" standards
Mr. Clements, the first Townsend witness is 100
per cent American. He is perfect copybook hero,
successful, we-tailored super salesman who merely
used the evangelstic technique he learned in selling
California real estate to sell pension plan to the
old folks.
The significant thing is that he succeeded so we'll.
Flow did it come about that in two short years an
obscure, depression hit Long Beach realtor and
tired country doctor able to build, upon
scheme which every reputable economist rdicues,
nationwide organization embracing 1000 clubs with
members and sympathizers numbering some 12,000,-
600? To collect hundreds of thousands of dollars
from the poorest classes in the nation? To threaten
and punish congressman, Governors and even pres
idential candidates?
The lies in the tragic fact that their mar
ket" ripe The American masses had lived
through the fools paradise of prosperity They had
been encouraged to spend and borrow and gamble.
They had been told that social security was form
of foreign socialism, alien to rich dynamic
public. Suddenly the depression, sweeping
millions into economic abyss. And harder hit
than the rest were the aging and the old
The Townsend planners found these old folks and
their families desperately eager to be convinced The
prize offered was what every human desires next to
life itself-security with comfort.
Belatedly the government has reckoned with this
human verify. The Administrators rational
cal security program is functioning at last Under
it the Federal government offers to go fifty fifty
with the states in pensioning the needy aged past 65
1t is disappointing to learn that the states are
not living up to that bargain. The first reports Of
states that have qualified for Federal money under
the od-age assistance laws shows average pensions"
so low as to make jest of security.
Nebraskas average Federal and state funds COM
bined) is $454 a month, Mlssouris 1902, Delawares
$685. vermont's $1O.72 and Washingtons s2O57.
Such failure only feeds movements like the Town
send plan. Unless states and the nation cooperate
to make life in America more secure-secure in en-
ployment, in homes, in investments and in honor
able old age-such phenomena Huey Long, Father
Coughlin, Upton Sinclair and DR.. Townsend will
flourish, no matter how many Investigations
made.

HOOvER-LANDON SCHISM

CENATOR BORAFFS refusal to enter CALIFORNIA;
~ Republican primary in May has simplified that
states mudded politics. but has not cured situa-
ton there that is giving the national G. Q. P
agement headache
Republicanism in the Golden State is split wide
apart by of Hoover-Landon schism daily
growing wider.
The ex-President considers that he has been be-
trayed by entrance of a Landon ticket in the pri-
mary, and he is not backward in telling Republican
leaders about it, Recently it is sad he stated his
to New York Republicans. Here is his story
Everything all set for uninstructed dele
cation to the Cleveland convention. Mr.. Hoover
was backed in this plan by State Chairman Earl
Warren, Chester Rowell. Mark Requa and other
well-known Republicans. But suddenly his former
friend Gov. Merriam came out for Mr. Landon
Publisher Hearst engineered Landon ticket, and
now instead of one there will be two Republican
tickets
Until Mr. Borah decided he didn't have time
to go to California and hence would not enter
there to have been also a Borah ticket The
had been selected, and campaign man
ayers retained for both northern and southern
California
In his New York talks Mr. Hoover is said to have
asserted that Mr.. Landon is backed chiefly by
Hearst. He also talks about Mr. Landons oil back
ground.
The ex-President is, in short, sore clear through

.SOCIETY'S LATEST WRINKLE

A YOUNGSTOWN o., dispatch informs us that
wide adhesive tape is supplanting grdes in the
favor of well-dressed women The tape according to
eyewitnesses, permits wrinkles to mar the sur
face of the Suggest dress Its only difficulty is re-
moval. Either gal must grit her teeth and rip, or
resort to gasoline.
This strikes us as barbaric turn-somehow the
vision OF a debutante Cor ex-debutante) with
sweat pouring off her brow endeavoring to skin out
OF adhesive, or young matron marching down the
divorce road reeking of gasoline, makes us CULVER
SO we suggest a merger of Standard Oil and
Elizabeth Arden. They should be able to concoct
fragrant, effective remover for not more than IS
vial.
And If the Little Man yeps at this, let him re-
member that like abor-saving devices it's an indi-
cation OF progress. For civilization can't move on
hidebound by adhesive tape

been reduced under the Economy Act passed the pre-
vous year.
Ffty-three of the 10 vetoes were on so-called
private" bills such damage claims against the
government and alteration of military records to
qualify veterans for Federal benefits The Presi-
dents close scrutiny of this sort of bill set new
executive precedent Mr. Roosevelt pointed out in
number of that the bills gave special iavorB
established presidents for other similar claims.
The largest of the private claim bills to meet
presidential disapprova called for payment of $780,
900 to the International Manufacturers Sales Co. of
America, Inc. which allegedly suffered the loss
through currency exchange in Russia in 1918 when
the United States government was assisting in for
eign trade negotiations.
The bill entered into the recent controversy be-
tween the Rev. Charles E. Coughlin and Rep O'Con-
ID, N. y. the former describing it as "steal"
and crediting OConnor with engineering its passage.
THE presidential ak also has fallen this session
appropriation of $50,000000 for seed
loans, bill creating system of examination and
cerifcation of government shorthand reporters and
a measure to refund custom duties on logs imported
from Canada.
In previous sessions the President has vetoed
measures to spend 100000 for an investigation of
shellfsh pests to extend honors to Gen. Casimr
Pulaski Polish hero of the Revolutionary War; to
make the government liable for fowage rights in
Mississippi River flood control, to permit use of
bronze tablet on grave in Arlington Cemetery in
contradiction of the cemeterys rules and to permit
veteran benefits to Coast Guard coal HEAVIER who
used profane and insubordinating language.
President Cleveland, with 344 vetoes during his
two terms killed than twice as many bills
as had been vetoed by all of his predecessors Ceve-
land was deuged with bills arising out of the
Arrears of Pensions Act of 1879 through which vet
Grams invented wide variety of excuses to put
themselves on the pension lists.
President Grant vetoed 43 bills and Theodore
Roosevelt 41. In recent history the record is
Taft, 30; Wilson, 3d. Harding, S. Coolidge 20, and
Hoover, 81.
Taft was overriden once, Wilson five times Cool
idge four times and Hoover twice Harding escaped
with perfect score.
Wilson was overridden on the Volstead Act
Hardings veto of the bonus was sustained but the
bill became law over veto by Coolidge The SO per
cent bonus loan feature adopted over a veto
by Hoover.

REAL AMERICANISM
New York World Telegram,

New York World Telegram)
TOLERANCE and free speech are keynotes of a
pamphlet on "Americanisn" just adopted as a
source-book for speeches to schools by the Ameri-
canism Committee of New York County posts of the
American Legion
The Legion, we believe has seldom stood upon
frlner ground
The Legion says that, believing in freedom of
speech for Others we'll as for ourselves we must
not attempt to abuse silence them Our own
history teaches that great and good changes mark
ing advances in civilization have frequently re-
suited from ideas which, because they were new and
different, were rejected by the intolerant"
When the Legion talks in that fashion, stemming
back directly to the Declaration of Independence it
is living up to its most patriotic avowals

the other utilities. One is the false
impression that the telephone is a
semi luxury, to be considered on a
take it or leave it, proposition.
Too, the shrewd propaganda about
widespread distribution of stock, in
Guiding the old gag about the wild
ows and orphans depending on divi-
dends, has allayed criticism of rates
while it has in reality placed con-
troll in the hands of small clique
able to grab off huge and unwar
ranted salaries and commissions
Local executives with good COLLEGE
regulations and prominence in civic
affairs have also done their share
in softening criticism-and have
been advanced accordingly. And the
usual run of public service commits
sions have stool in abject awe of
the highly technical nature of this
giant utility.
Undoubtedly the Bell system as
a whole renders high type of
service. Criticism rests mainly in
the high rates for this service.
Happily the personnel of the in
vestigating commission seems COM
posed Of courageous, intelligent and
aggressive men. And chances seem
fart or more reasonable rates and
better regulation of super organi-
cation that has heretofore so sue
cessfully defed regulation and criti-
cism because of its bignesS and
Shrewdness.

THE n. A. M. AND LOGIC

THE National Association of Manufacturers re-
- plies to President Roosevelts REINFORCEMENT
plea by boasting that the manufacturing industry
has provided jobs for 80 per cent of all those newly
employed in private industry. Two million addi-
tional workers would bring manufacturing employ
ment up to the 1929 maximum
1T is thus obvious" the NJ A. M argues chat
manufacturing not provide work for the 9ooo,-
900 or more jobess"
At the same time the N. A. M. demands "curtai-
ment of government extravaganza
Their logic is difficult to follow If the manufac-
turers have done their utmost to re-empoy the job
less they should recognize that the governmen has
no alternative but to take care of those not re-
employed until manufacturing and other industries
relieve the situation And the government can
hardly do that without indulging in what the N A.
M. calls extravaganza"

PRESIDENTIAL vETOES

power to throttle acts of Congress more frequently
than any other President except Grover Cleveland,
ofhcal records show.
Since the start of the present session in jar

in his entire four years.
These ranged from the s2,2Ooo0oOOO bonus down
to bill to refund $50 to- resident of Pella Ia who
brought two brokers' tax stamps and discovered he
wasn't required TO use them

TODAY'S SCIENCE
by DAVID DIETZ-

THE region around the North Sea
Il has the worlds best climate for
human health and activity, accord
ing to DR.. Ellsworth Huntington
research associate in geography at
Yale University.
He gives the next best rating to
the northeastern United States, par
ticularly that part on the coast, to
the Pacific Coast around Puget
Sound and in a very narrow coastal
strip southwark, and to New Zea-
land.
THE best condition to- man,
Dr. Huntington says, SIS summer
weather with an average day and
night temperature of about 81 de-
grees, which means up to 10 or more
by day. This is the best tempera-
ture for physical health. Although
We are unconscious of it, the BIRTH
rate shows that reproduction takes
place more rapidly at this tempera-
ture than at any other.
Among people who live as we do
mental activity is greatest when the
outdoor temperature averages much
lower. Even though we work in
doors, the outdoor temperature af-
fects us SO that we work best in
weather averaging about SO degrees
that is, when there are mild frostS
at night"
DR.. Huntington believes that eli
mate plays major role in the his
tory of mankind. "Other things be-
ing equal" he says, each living
thing does best in its own optimun1
climate, where there is a combina-
ton of conditions which is just right
for it. Even the germs of feverS
follow this rule
