 We've farmed and ranched all our lives" said Tatro in Governor Troy's office this morning where he and Mrs. Tatro paid their re- spects. Tt got so we couldn't make what we felt was. a good living down there so we decided we would take the honyemoon trip we had planned for so long, and pick up stakes"
 Both MT. and Mrs. Tatro. 67 and 66 years old respectively, were en- unused over Alaska.
 I've never enjoyed myself so much in all my life!" said Mrs. Tatro. T know we'll like it up here-it's so beautiful the country here"
 ] When told that turnips and ruta- bagas and cabbages and other gar- den truck growed to such prodig- ious size in Alaska, MT. Tatro fair l ly danced with anticipation.
 "Say!" he confided. "I'll bet you it will be fine out there!"
 The Tatros plan to look over ground near Valdez and then go to Homer. Their enthusiasm was a fascinating thing to see.
 Stay for while?' said MT Tatro We've got all our things with us and we're going to stay for good!'

Dollar Devaluation

It is now almost four years since the dollar was devalued. And today the effect of that epoch-making shift of monetary policy is lost in the Welter ot national and international factors thet bear on the relation between the things bought and the money paid for them. Few economists have been hardy enough to attempt to pick out the exact ettectS of dollar devaluatlon.
 Yet four years ago the nation gaSpeo at the daring of the step. The more conservative shuddered at what they felt sure was a gate opening directly on ln- Hation that would destroy us all. They may yet be right. No one knows. But certainly no sign of it has appeared yet, and right now the United States IS III period of deflation and falling prices.
 Even the most radically-minded among financial authorities took firm grip on the handles and prepared for some kind of fast sleigh-ride when the price of gold was artificially advanced so that the 1OO- cent dollar became a 59-cent dollar III relation to the price of gold. And when the Supreme Court upheld the course, 1t was Justice McReynolds who cried out at the shame and humiliation" of it, and lamented that "the Constitution, as we have known it, is gone"
 Something is gone, all right, but nobody seems to know quite what 1t is. Prices did rise, steadily, until last fall, when they began to slip and have been slipping ever since. How much of that price imitation was due to dollar devaluation, and how much to lavish spending by the federal government, the soldiers bonus, farm-aid payments, and the like, no one can meas ure, and few are hardy enough to try
 The effect of devaluation on the pocket book of the average man is even harder to measure. He still goes to the store with paper dollars, and buys with them about what he did before. The fact that they are theoretically worth less gold has not up to now made any appreciable differ ence to him.
 It is quite likely, however, that there has been definite effect on foreign trade. Devaluation placed the American dollar in workable relationship with foreign moneys; and export of U. s. steel, farm machinery, cotton and automobiles have steadily increased to the point where they were a worthwhile cushion to the recession.
 Gold continues to pile up in the federal vaults under the standing offer to pur- chase at an artificially-high fixed price. Many economists believe this is danger, and that the rest of the world may sud- denly give up gold as monetary meas ure, leaving us with most of the worlds supply and nothing to use it for but to fill teeth. But that, too, is mere crystal gazing.
 Dollar devaluation and it's history thus far prove nothing at all except that we once took what we thought was daring step, and that it's results four years later were neither the heaven promised by it's advocates nor the hell forecast by it's opponents

Are You Raising a Soldier?

The figures asked for national defense are so high that we don't dare mention them. But President Franklin D. Roose- welt believes that we have waited long long enough now for nations of the world to settle their differences and in view of the unsettled international status we must act quickly and promptly. So Congress is asked to enact vast pro- gram which would make an armed for treSS of this nation from coast to coast, from north to south. Ample protection would be afforded the community bur- jed deep in the heart of the nation, as well as the coastal towns.
 Perhaps this is one means of Stinlu- lating business. If so, we sincerely trust it won't be at the price of human lives. We don't think from the tenor of the Presidents message to Congress that he was contemplating war. But he was very evidently proposing that we begin to show teeth to the nations that surround us and those that are engaged in slash ing each other to pieces. This IS probably good business. If Uncle Sam can stand the cost of providing an adequate national defense, and if our legislators can decide just what an adequate national defense should be, well let's go to it.
 Well, the boys in Congress will toss the recommendations and the general idea around in great style. ThereIl be the usual army and navy Hobbies in evi- dence, seeking a bigger navy, bigger army. The President himself can make or break this business. He knows his way around and with an election in the offing he has all the chance in the world to use his influence. If it's to keep us out of foreign entanglements he'll find public opinion with him no matter how high his national defense bill runs.

most hated ogre, a big business monopoly"
 But during the period that he was counsel, MIRA codes were bred like mosquitoes on hot day, and he gave no opinions regarding them, never lifted a finger to stop the "step-by-step" drift to- ward monopoly.
 About this time, Clarence Dar- row, Richberg's old friend and champion in Chicago, came to Washington, shook his head sadly and asked: What's happened to our DOn?"
 Richberg's answer probably was best given - though he did not realize tito Mrs. Felix Frank furter, whose husband first rec commended Richberg to Roosevelt.
 Eve been fighting big busi- ess all my life," Don told her during the early NRA days, land isn't it fine that they're so nice to mel"
 That remark is the key to one of Richberg's most surprising characteriStics-naivete and guln- bility. He will trust anyone who uses the right friendly ap- preach. And the "diabolical logic of events" was chiefly the blan- dishmentS which big business poured over his soul.
 White House Hearth
 Today Donald Richberg is one of the outstanding warmers of the White House hearth. He &C., complishes this partly through :! is considerable charm, partly through his facility for speech writing, but largely through the fiction that he was a martyr to the cause.
 The President, who has a soft spot, has listened to this and feels sorry for Richberg.
 But if Don was martyr it was only to his own gullibility. And his martyrdom has led to a law firm where he is now paid hand somely to advocate the measures which he once advocated for nothing in the MIRA.

We'll, it took a good many years to get it, but when we did finally get it, it was worth waiting for. And what are you talking about? Nothing else but the Con- necticut Building which will be erected at the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield this year. Some people may recall that the 1887 Legislature put it's ok. on building for this state and set up an appropriation of $35000 for the purpose. There was catch in the appro- priation, though. It had to be matched by public subscription of $25,000. This subscription was so easily raised that when the men in charge of it checked up they found that they had not $25,00O, but $35,0OO. Who said depression? Now Connecticut will get a $70,OOO exposition building at the fair grounds. And we sincerely trust that it will be credit to the state. We have long urged the need of representation of this sort at the exposition. We are glad to see it coming even at this late date.
