Trust Should Be Restored

When the nation again returns to what passes for
normal, after the excitement of the campaign, it might
spend a little time repairing some of its shattered faiths
and Royalties.
In some ways the most expensive thing about the
last few years has been not the money that has gone
down the SINK, but the dismaying amount of bitter and
unceasing criticism of men and institutions in which
Americans had always previously placed confidence.
The campaign only brought this to a head. Some Of
1T grew out of the depression and some of it was a hang
over from the campaign of 1882. But wherever il came
from and however it was motivated. the net result can
not be anything but very bad for us.
For example; any great nation of today is bound to
look for a good part of its leadership to the men who
control its financial institutions. AS modern society is or
gained, il cannot do anything else. And how stands our
confidence in bankers, these days?
For years we have heard them denounced up. down
and crosswise as money changers" as men who need
watching. as people who blindly led us into a ditch and
made US wait there, helpless. until the government
hauled US out.
Perhaps then, our intelectuals are in better case.
Not at all Have not we heard brain trusters' excorciat-
ed as vain and erratic theoreticians, Enthusiastically be-
yond belief and so impractical and childlike that it ac-
tually has been a mark against the administration that it
took counsel with them? Where, oh where is our old re-
spect for college professors?
How, then, about political leaders? Surely hey 40
not share the unspeakable defects of bankers and pro-
fessors. Alas, they are still worse. We have been as
sured over and over again that the bureaucrat is the
worst of all public enemies; that politics is unworthy OF
our faith and that no political promise, no campaign
summons to a cause, deserves the slightest trut.
Well, may we fall back On our leaders of business
and industry? A hundred voices declare that they are
pitiless and crafty opponents of economic royalism,"
prepared to grind our faces in the dirt if we give them a
chance. For years the sky has fairly rung with denunci-
atoms of them
You could 60 on in this vein for half an hour. There
Is hardly a group or an institution, Of the sort to which
we ordinarily look for leadership, that has not been un-
der the most bitter attack for months and years.
If we believe half that we have been told. we can
only assume that we are lost souls and that there is no
hope for the republic.
With the campaign out of the way, we may be able
to get back to a sane viewpoint on these matters. 1t is
highly important that we do so.
If we don't, we are simply paving the way for some
INSCRIPTIONS, self-seeking demagog to come in and put
the letters on our wrists

Literally it means heating through
this diathermy form of treatment. The
apparatus used in administering is ex-
pensive. Not many rural physicians
nowadays can afford such high-priced
stuff, considering the almost impossib-
ility of carrying it to widely-scattered
bedside patients.
Nevertheless, it is, and has been for
some time, a growing popular method
of applying heat in the treatment of
localized inhammations. That it will
destroy germs by heat that are deeply
situated within the body, ! seriously

Department more c than is pub
lcly admitted is the question of how
to reconcile the announced intention of
Great Britain to place large orders for
military aircraft with American manu-
facturers, with the neutrality laws
passed by the last Congress Great
Britain is not yet at war, but is pre-
pairing to meet Germany in the air. OF
this there is no question on either side
of the Atlantic. Germany has been
building military planes on a mass
production basis. There are at least
two German aircraft factories each of
which is capable of producing more
planes annually than all American
airplane factories combined. But while
Germany is induStriously rearming on
a Ford basis, Great Britain in Its leis-
urely way. has been building planes
on a Rolls Royce basis.
Now the British air ministry and
the Cabinet have become alarmed at
their inferiority in the air. They have
lately placed an order for 700 bombing
planes to be built at the Canadian
plant of one of the American airplane
companies, and have intimated tina.
they are ready to buy several thous-
and planes from other American COM
panies. Two of the largest American
airplane factories are not just now too
busy to take on large orders for planes.
But these and most of the others have
been building military planes to Unit
ed States Government specifications.
The question arises whether 1t
would be a breach of the neutrality
laws to permit these companies to
build the same kind of planes for
Great Britain or to utilize any of the
devices which our army and navy
have taken part in developing, if they
build planes to British specifications.
II is understood here that several very
large orders for military planes have
been referred 10 the State Department
BY the manufacturers who want to ac-
cept them, but who want to be sure
that they are within their legal rights.
In the meantime, the British Gov
eminent and some of the British air.
plane manufacturers have purchased
licenses under American patents foi
numerous airplane parts and equip
ment. so that even if Britain's replan-
ing is carried out entirely on
British soil, there will be a large finan-
cial return to the American airplane
manufacturers who own these patents.
Also it is possible, in case the State
Department should hold that it would
be improper for American factories to
build bombing planes even for a nation
which is not at war, that more of these
factories will establish Canadian bran
ches.

The new Congress elected on No
vember 3 promises to be very much
more of a debating Congress than 1t,
last two predecessors. No longer i:
there an overwhelming majority in
the lower house which can override
the minority opposition without {
struggle. The outlook is for much
more serious consideration of new
legislation and for vigorous efforts tc
amend and modify some of the laws
which were enacted by the 73rd anc
74th Congress, which not only Repub-
leans but the more thoughtful AND
conservative Democrats agree need &c
be simplified and clarified if they are
to accomplish the purposes for which
they were enacted.
One of the laws enacted by the last
Congress which is certainly going to
come in for strong Attempts to clarity il
and make it more workable is the So
cial Security Act. There is little dis
agreement in principle with the pur-
poses of the Social Security Act, but
there is a very general feeling, among
Democrats and Republicans alike, thai
in its present form it is cumbersome,
b~urdensome and unduly complicated
in its methods Of administration. Even
its most ardent advocates are now pre-
dieting that unless it is modified it will
fall OF its own weight and that the
benefits in the shape of old age PEN
sions which it is intended to provide
will be lost unless drastic revisions are
made in the law.
There is also a strong feeling hat
it should be extended in its application
TO cover large groups of workers who
do not now come under its provisions.
In the present set-up neither farmers,
sailors. domestic servants. persons en-
ployed by charitable and other non-
profit making organizations nor those
employed by any Federal, state or mu-
nicipal government or their instrum-
entalities is subject to either the tax on
payrolls or the future benefits of the
Act. The Treasury Department has
ruled that all banks which are the
members of the Federal Deposit Insur-
ance Corporation are instrumentalities
of the government and that therefore
no bank employees come under the
benefits of the Social Security Act.
Washington observers look for a
prolonged and perhaps acrimonious
debate upon this measure very early
in the coming session which will begin
on January 10.

Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1936-11-05

There is only one fundamental conflict in this world
OF turmoil which need give anyone any real concern
That is the conflict between human liberties and dictar-
orship This is the conflict which is tearing the world
apart. 1t is less acute in America than it is anywhere else.
Throughout the world great masses of people are
surrenderlng their Liberties of action, speech and thought
to the tyranny of absoutist governments. In return for
what appears to be economic security, they consent to let
their governments do their thinking, direct the conduct
OF their daily lives, even prescribe their religious observ-
ances and interfere, in some nations, with their most in
Innate domestic relations. People who live under govern
ments so controlled from above tend to become less like
human beings and more like driven cattle. And the ex-
perlence in every instance has been that in return for
the liberties which they have sacrificed they have never
gained anything of value.
The greatest establishment in this respect has been
that of the Russian people, who submitted to the auto
cratic control of a handful of Communist leaders and
who find themselves today living in a condition of econ
omic misery far more degraded than anything under the
old Czarist rule.
There is only one thing worth for. That is the only
thing for which a free people have ever fought, individ-
ual human rights and liberties. 1t is to be hoped that the
time will come when the American people are again
compelled to take up arms in defense of the right of ev-
cry individual to live, act and think as he pleases so long
as he does not interfere with the right of others to do the
same.
We do not think that such a crisis in the affairs of
this country is imminent, or that it is even foreshadowed.
We base this belief upon our faith in the inherent COM
'0nrense of a nation Of free men and women, who have

GADGET


| took a trip to West Virginia the
other day and in the Pullman sleeper
in which | returned | came across a
new and interesting gadget. This is a
ventilating fan built into the side of
the car between the windows, with a
filter to keep the smoke and cinders
out and a nozzle which can be turned
in any direction, while the passenger,
either sitting up or lying down, can
regulate the speed of the fan and the
volume of fresh air at will.
This to my mind is a very long step
in the direction of making railway
travel more comfortable. | have long
believed that the real reason why peo-
pie have developed such a marked
preference for the automobile over
railroads is that you can control the
fresh air supply in your own car. l
never slept better than l did on the c
& Q from White Sulphur Springs to
New York with the aid of this new
gadget.

TRAVEL

| have done quite a bit Of railroad
travelling in the past few weeks and
have talked with a great many railroad
men. My observation, which the rail-
road people confirm, is that more peo-
pie are travelling now than at any time
in the past ten years. The sudden rush
of traffic to the railroads is due large
ly 10 the reduced fares which went into
effect on the first of June. People feel
that they are not paving an e%xorbiiant
price for transportation when they can
10 about the country for two cents
a mile.
Railroad men, moreover, tell mt that
the roads are earning more money be-
u of the increased traffic than they
would under the old old higher rates.
That is another proof Of the fallacy OF
the idea hat when things are sold
cheaply they must be sold ct a loss. We
ought, by this time, to have learned
that low prices to the consumer mean
a wider distribution, greater produc-
ton and better profits.

FLIGHT j..


The fast passenger-carrying fights
of the giant new Clipper planes
across the Pacific have just been made.
The newspaper men who went along
on these aerial voyages of adventure
report that for comfort and the thrills
of following the trail of the early ex-
plorers along the islands of the Pacific
nothing in their experience has ever
reached this.
Three newspaper reporters who set
out to break the existing records for
travelling around the world have TX
ceeded expectations and have demon
strated that there are several routes
available to everybody by which any
one can completely circumnavigate the
globe in less than three weeks. The
flying speed of these big new multi
passenger planes is still considerably
under what would be necessary to fly
around the world in one day. Some
day we shall see planes and alrships
capable of a speed of 500 miles an
hour, which at the latitude of Quebec.

the world, completing the journey in
"a hours.
This is not an idle dream. 1t is a
possibility which will be realized as
soon as evidence accumulates a suf-
fcient demand for such a service to
make it commercially profitable.

 M1s Cole said the Republicans were strongly organized in the places he visited and that he felt confident that Alaska would go Republican in the coming elections.
 He said every place he visited was busy with much new construc- tion going on and practically every body employed, and confidently go- ing ahead for the future.
 He had high praise for the progress of the Matanuska Colony development but criticized the Ad- ministration for not starting it with Alaskans

BANKER ENJOYS MISSING BOAT
 FROM JUNEAU
Seattle Executive Will Go Fishing While Strand
 ed,' Capital City

Bankers coming to Alaska these days have little to concern then except visiting relatives and goint fishing, judging from the care-fret attitude of c. A. Anderson, Assis- tant Manager of the Bank of Cali fornia of Seattle, who. missed the west-bound Alaska this morning and says he can easily enjoy week in Juneau anyhow.
 The Bank of California has all ways been one of the leaders ir financing Alaska's salmon indus try, and there was a time back in the days of the depression when the bank might have considered it. self in the fishing business, ac- :ording to MT. Anderson.
 But in these days of prosperity and record fish packs he said laughing, All the banker has to do when he meets cannery official is to congratulate him on the years business"
 The national salmon advertising campaign started early this year has built up such a demand for AL aska fish that there is no possibility 1f a problem of being overstocked. according to the visiting banker. The results to date clearly indi- cate that whatever the size of the pack, the distributors will be able to handle it by merely regulating their amount of advertising

 MT Gore visited Matanuska and found it a thriving colony. He said the biggest problem was dis tribution of the farmers products.
 There are some good farmers up there" he commented, "and also some that are just the opposite Personally, I think there has been a waste of money, but I believe if the Government will leave the farmers alone and not burden then, with excessive charges they will be able to make it."
 MT. Gore said he was not pre- pared to comment on program for further agriculture development for Alaska.
 The former Juneau man said he was an advocate of home rule, par ticularly Territorial control of fish fur and game.
 Asked if he still represented the faction of the Republican party with which he was associated at the Douglas convention, the candidate declared he was a candidate of the entire Republican organization and recognized A. E. Rasmussen as Ma tional Committeeman. He declared there was no split in the Republi- can ranks in the Territory, as re- suit of the Douglas convention, and that he as a candidate accepted the verdict of the Cleveland convention to which the Douglas convention sent two sets of Delegates.

All Alaska Labor Employ ed in Remodeling for
 New Quarters

Immediately after conferlng With the doctors and reaching agreement with them as to their wishes in remodeling the second floor of the Goldstein Building for the Clinic, Charles Goldstein retained a firm of local architects, the H. B. Floss Company, to prepare plans and specification, let contracts and sup .ervise construction.
 Work on the plans were rushed, and within three weeks everything was ready to award contracts. Low bidder on the general contract was the J. B. Warrack Co.,, of Juneau, which firm began construction inn mediately. One of the principal re- quirements of the new plans was the drilling in the solid masonry of the second and third floors of the building for windows. Also-it was stipulated by MT. Goldstein that all local labor be used through Oub bllC uSOlOii Ol bllC PAOJNSb.
 Sub contractors were Alaska FL ectric Light and Power Company all electric wiring; Electric Service Shop electrical fixtures; Harris Machine Shop-plumbing and heat ing; Fred Wendt-painting; Gar land Boggan-hardware floors. The extra heavy grade linoleum used on both floors was ordered and laid by Feusi and Jensen, Douglas dealers, under the skilled direction Of Nick Rokovich.
 Office desks, filing cabinets and large new safe were furnished by J. B. Burford and Company All desks and files are of the sky scraper' type, manufactured by Shaw Walker.
