Strait, halfway between Alaska and Siberia, lie two small islands, Big and Little Diomede, known to the Eskimo as Ingalit and Inn aklit. Little Diomede belongs to the United States, Big Diomede to Russia. Little Dioanede is one of the most GGGoGdGGGG Mgf of the most Godforsaken spots on the globe; water is at a premium as no wells or river is found on the island. Here the people live a very primitive life.
 ,"It is a hard struggle to civilize these semi-barbaric tribes with their ancient spirit of worship & powerful medicine men. In 1907 a school was built on Little Dio- mede Island, but only three tea chers alternated teaching there until 1913; then the Bureau of 1n- dian Education decided to close the school as they figured that to educate these people was wasted money and effort.
 "Only few white men have this island. One of these is Arthur Eide, who halls from the northern part of Norway. He came 10 the United States as a young man. In San Francisco, he

 She was educated at Harrisburg, Penn., then she became assistant teacher with Charles Hawkes. worth in her home village, Point Barrow. Here she also acted as interpreter for Hjalmar Stefans- son, the Arctic explorer. Then she was in San Francisco study ing to become a nurse-Eide was attracked to this charming girl from the north. They were both born in the Arctic under the Nor thern Lights, and the Midnight Sun-and they were both prepar- ing dor the same life work. They married, applied for a position as teachers in Alaska, were accept ed and ssnt to the Little Diomede Island.
 Here Arthur Eide and his Els kimo wife were received with open arms by the islanders, but when he introduced sanitation, the medicine man, Otoktak, de- cided that Eide was not a friend any longer but dangerous man and then when Eide began to dig in the ancient graveyard for historical evidence, the medicine man prophesied that evil day would ocme upon the people.
 Sure enough, the following fall furious storms came upon the is land and the people almost starv- ed to death.
 "Otoktak called the people to- gether at night, and Eide was con demned to death. Eide, who was at the meeting, decided to meet fire with fire and called the peo- pie together at the school house, Here he told the starving Eski- mos that the medicine man was only a humbug and that he was powerless to help them, and that the only salvation for them was to turn from him to the white need, they prayed with the re- markabla result that the storms died, plenty of game was secured.

THE BUDGET AND THE MASSES

Mr. Average Citizen is too inclined to think
that an unbalanced budget is no concern OF his.
Thinks he, what do l care if federal securities
drop? | don't own any, What matter does 1t make
to me if the stock market declines? | have no
stocks.
Federal financing does effect every man, woman
and child in America, whether they are investors
or not The effect may not be immediate or direct
but it is there nevertheless.
The unbalanced budget, the reckless, wanton
spending by the federal government of the taXpay-
ers' money has upset the recovery movement and
caused not only government securities and stocks
TO decline, but it has affected cotton, gram and
various other commodities which Mr.. Average Citi-
zen buys and sells.
1t has been the fashion to spend federal money
Everything moved along swimmingly as long as
each community was getting federal grant, peo-
ple were being put on government payrolls and
bureaus extended help to everybody that sought
it from the hungry individual to the big corpora
ton in financial distress.
Now the time has come to curtail expenditures
and the hating brings jolt for it reveals that the
deficit is growing to dangerous point Unless
expenditures are seriously curtaed, we seem head
cd for another slump which might be worse than
the one WIS spent billions to get ourselves out OIL

NEWSPAPERS OPINIONS
THE WRONG WAY TO BALANCE

Washington press reports tell of warnings" that
if congress does not carry out the presidents re-
trenchment program drive for heavier and more
widespread taxation will take it's pace-that the
administrators purpose to balance the budget in
1937-3S is unaterable.
Firmness for budget balance is good. But what
the country meaning its individual citizens striv-
ing to earn their bread and butter rather than to
get it as a federal handout, needs is budget
balance on lower level of governmental outgo.
Taxation.to employ men and women who should
be at work in private industry kills as much en-
poymens as it creates. The greater the proportion
of the nationaT income which is routed through
the governments hands the greater the number of
wage workers whom the government must either
provide with jobs or feed, clothe and shelter in
ideness.
Budget balance through heavier taxation offers
the single advantage that it stops dilution OF the
commercial money through stuffing government
obligations into the banking system. 1t averts the
danger from that species of price initiation 1t
holds no promise of actually reducing the public
burden of 'relief" for it offers private enterprise
no assistance in diminishing that burden by EN-,
ploying more men. .,., ,..5. .,,.. .a.,.

FARM TENANCY PROBLEM HAS BEEN
BALLYHOOED

After an extensive and careful investi-
cation, the National Association of Manu-
facturerS makes public a report on farm
tenancy in the nation. The report asserts
that real farm tenants are not more than
"a per cent. of all farmers of the country
and that if the number of farmers who are
renting land from relatives be subtracted
from the total it will be found that the
number of tenants is not more than 10 per
cent. of the country's farmers.
These figures vary greatly from the esti>
mates of the government and from other
estimates made from time to time; but they
are due serious consideration, and are
probably more accurate than estimates
purporting to show that fifty to sixty per
cent. of American farms are cultivated by
tenants.
This report shows that in two decades,
from 1880 to 1900, farm tenancy increased
to the extent of 100 per cent In 80 years
after the latter date the increase was only
40 per cent. and in the five year period
following 1880 the increase OF tenancy did
not keep pace with the increase in the
number of farms or with farm ownership.
This report is reassuring and encourage
ing. No intelligent student of agricultural
conditions believes the country is helped,
or that the interests of the rural popula-
ton are served, by increase of farm ten
ancy; and if it is practically certain that
the country's condition in this particular
has been greatly exaggerated, the circula-
ton of the facts and figures will be of vast
encouragement to the farm population and
all groups of citizens who believe in the
basic Importance and value of farm own
ership and the cultivation of the soil by
owners.
That the farm tenancy problem has been
over-rated as one of the country's major
problems in recent years is probably true.
There are in the country persons who have
a direct interest in making the problem
appear in the worst possible light. There
are many who have direct financial inter-
est in making this showing with view to
its effect on federal government spending.
1t is reasonably certain that proportions
of the farm tenancy problem have been
greatly exaggerated and it is certain, also,
that some, at least, of this transformation
has been spread knowingly with the pur-
pose of fooling the public and building up
great fear of the outcome of the tenant
problem. 1900

FLORIDA STEWS

Florida officials are faced with
the necessity of finding new
sources of taxes to offset the
$60,0O0,000 worth of property
taken off the tax rolls by the new
Florida constitutional provision
which cXemptS homes from taxa
ton uu to $4,000 Of their assessed
valuation.
There is no way of eliminating
taxes. There must be taxes Suffi-
cient to meet governmental obli-
cations. Taxes taken off one
place must be put on another.
Probably the residents Of Flori-
da will find they will not save a
dime by the $4,000 homestead cX-
emption. They will merely have
to pay that amount of taxes in
some other way-likely in a sales
tax.
There is no sense in trying to
dodge the tax problem. The thing
to do is to meet it SQuarely and
above all fairly. While nothing
can be done about the fact that
taxes must be paid, a great deal
can be done about the amount of
taxes that must be paid. The
amount can be cut down if the
people will keep a peeled eye on
public expenditures, and insist on
having public officials who Will
