Parachuting a 1000 pound die sel engine from an airplane above an Alaskan mine, is one of the latest achievements of aviation in assisting the prospector in pio- neer country, to say nothing of dropping dynamite, carbide. can ned goods lumber. drill steel meat, oil, and in short every thing but eggs into the heart of the frozen North, according to Clarence William Poy, mining engineer, of Valdez, Alaska, says recent issue of the Valdez Min CT. MT. Poy presented a paper on the use of aIrplanes in Alaska inning before members of the American Institute of Mining & Metallurgical Engineers meeting for their l44th annual conVen- tion in New York recently. and predicted that ai.plane5 will be inst umental in ''repioneering Al aska mining in double quick time.
 Thrilling experiences ia getting supplies and materials to isolated mines frozen in and inaccessible except by air, were Geeouatej by Mr Poy, who attributes tie sue cessfu operation of many such properties to the intrepid pilots of the North and the ingenious uses to which the airplane has been put.
 Many mining properties like ours were high in the mountains" MT. Poy said, and since sky hooks were out of the question, we considered the airplane. At the Big Four Gold Mines in this last year we have overcome our transportation handicaps by the use of airplanes. IL has been found most satisfactory for all around freighting and most of our supplies are delivered in win ter on ski-equipped planes by pilots experienced in flying re- gardless of altitude or snow glare These conditions are extremely tricky and may easily prove ia tai to a pilot who, experienced though he may be, is not versed in this phase of flying
 During the past year more than sixty tons of mining mach inery and supplies were trans ported to the mining properties by airplanes without any damage or loss. according to MT. Poy. The transportation of eighteen tons of freight to the mine would have taken at least one season or about four months of good weather, at a cost of seven times more than that of airplane frei- ghtipg. The eighteen tons were transported by plane in 1 week.
 The diesel engine which was parachuted from plane was dis sembled in four main pieces, were tied around each piece and a Russell parachute

LOCALIZED GAMBLING AND BUSINESS
Does Iegalized gambling help business?

Does legalized gambling help business? o..
The question, in all probability, will be debatet
in the next General Assembly of North Carolina
as il has been at two more recent sessions OF
the Legislature, in each of which efforts were made
to Iegalize parmutuel betting in the state 1t was
localized in two or three counties.
Undoubtedly efforts will be made in the General
Assembly of 1887 to egalize it in additional coun-
ties if not in the state as whole. 49,
Before the lawmakers decide on any pari-mutuel
betting bill they should obtain all possible nfor-

Writing in the magazine American Business and
dealing exclusively with the economic and business
nhases of the issue, Howard Mcclellan gives evil

what he says is of particular interest to North
Carolina business men,
The American Business magazine writer tells
how wave of embezzlement, unpaid rents delin-
ouent payments and crime has followed the open
ing of racing plants in the states where parl-mu-
tuel betting has been legalized.
In the city of Providence, he says, department
stores reported SO per cent drop in sales, while
one used car dealer reported weekly loss OF SZ,-

paid. .... .... =, -.
In one city a bus company asked racing plant
authorities to keep their drivers out of the plant
because the drivers not only were betting collected
fares but were so worried over losses it was unsafe
to permit them to drive buses $685..
In Springfield, Mass, authorities found children
going without lunches because they had bet their
lunch money in bootleg betting places.
In New Hampshire, according to Mcclellan, four
tax collectors dipped into public funds to obtain
money for betting, and a clergyman who had OPP
posed legalized gambling saw his own son prose
cuted for embezzng his employers funds lost at
betting. 49,. 49,.

PET PROJECTS ADD UP TOLL OF
TAXPAYER
CBy BRUCE CATION

The well-intentioned citizens OF rock-
ribbed Maine are furnishing the best can
did camera shot of the American system
that we have seen in long time.
It was up in Maine, you will remember
that the government launched the Passa-
maouoddy project-a gigantic engineering
endeavor to harness the Bay of Fundy S
tides for production of unlimited power.
Millions already have been spent on Pas
samaouoddy. and a model city has been
erected to house the engineers and thou
sands of workmen.
Here was to be created the first power
plant of its kind in the world; that is, II
funds continued to pour in for its compile
ton. But they haven't, and that is where
Maine comes in.
Hardly had Congress refused to appro-
pirate beyond July for the vast project,
when Maine voters set up a tremendous
howl that echoed down the coast to Wash
ington. At the same time delegations were
dispatched to the nations capital to obtain
additional funds. '..
The heat, for that matter, still is being
applied to Congress and the president.
And when enough pressure has been ex-
erted, Maine voters quite likely will turn
homeward with promise in their pockets
of more millions for Passamaquoddy.
But that, to the country, is rot the really
important thing. The significant fact is
that other states are tarred by the same
brush. Northern Florida right, now would
be content, for instance, with no less than
completion of its embryo canal, and the
west wants more and more reclamation
projects. ......- ......- ... 2,
Now the question for John Public is just
this; How. can the costs of government be
reduced when local inteTe sts perpetually
and inexorably apply pressure for this par
ticular community project or that bit OF
sectional spois? .... ,
For every 9ne of such projects, cut from
budgets of state legislatures and Congress
there are several delegations on hand to
force the issue; and invariably the visitors
are armed with stacks of petitions, signed
by no less an important person than Mr.
Average Taxpayer himself ..,. -
Cut out any other proiect you like
these good citizens may ar }ue, "but ours
is vital to the continued prosperity of thu
community" H.. ..
And so the innocent community interes
becomes a special sort of vested. interest
posing a new drain on the national pocket
book ..
And after a while, Mr.. Voter wakes up t
learn that the services of government mus
be paid for. He finds that his: communit!,
can't have its costly improvements AM
lower taxes, too. But until he does lear
this, he win go on paving and paying, an'
he has little cause for complaint.

THE OLD CREED OF. JEFFERSON
YET RINGS TRUE

There could be no finer creed than that offered
by man who enjoyed the unique distinction of
being the leader of his party in the senate as well
as the house, and when it was in the majority in
both cases, too. Said the late Oscar Underwood of
Alabama in his book, Drifting Sands of Party
Politics." published in 1925
"The men and women of America who desire
the preservation of their individual rights under
the Constitution of their country and are opposed
to the establishment of system of paternalism in
the United States must above all else and at all
times stand steadfast to the first principles of gov
eminent, and see to it that their representatives
in Congress do not sacrifice principle under any
circumstances, matter how alluring the bait may
be.
eve should divorce the federal government
from any intimate association in the domestic af-
fairs of the people; confne its active function to
the national endeavor contemplated in the begin
ming; so far as possible abolish the. numerous
boards, commissions and bureaus that are now ex-
ercising powers of government
| 1--WE should confne the power to exercise legs-
lative discretion to the congress of the United
States and maintain the power to execute the laws
| in the hands of the president, where power and
responsibility may be united in one person; allow
only the courts of the land to pass Judgment that
affects the rights and liberties of the citizen. In
other words, we should abolish the discretons that
4 are now vested in bureaucratic government and
restore in its entire integrity the government of
law we inherited from our fathers"
Could there be better platform for an indepen-
dent Democratic movement in 1896? Oscar Under
wood was condemning the. Capitalization trend un-
der the Republican party but were he alive today
he would be condemning the same trend under the
New Deal party. -. - - '."
