Thomas Jefferson Quoted
On Government Economy.

To the Editor of The Star:
So-called New Deal Democrats, who
indorse Harry Hopkins theory that I'VE
must spend in order to save" and regard
deficits as desirable, should give con-
sideration to the wise words of the
founder Of the Democratic party. on
this much discussed topic.
Thomas Jefferson said, IT am for a
government vigorously frugal and simple,
applying all the possible savings Of the
public revenue to the discharge Of the
national debt and not for multiplica-
ton of officers and salaries to make
partisans."

Americas "black auxiliaries" as Paul
Joseph Goebbels, No. 3 Nazi, dubbed
them when Jesse Owens and his fellow
countrymen were challenging Germany's
superior race theme. were heavily in the
spotlight of the Millrose Games at
Madison Square games last Saturday
night.
In the 6o-yard sprint event. the finals
brought at least five Negro finalists, Ben
Johnson, Carey, Ewell, Herbert Thomp-
son and Eulace Peacock. Four of them,
Thompson leading and Peacock, Ewell,
and Carey in 4 blanket finish, flashed
across the line in the fast time of 63
seconds.
Then, the long-legged Woodruff,
formerly Of Pittsburgh, now graduate
student at N. Y. u, set Millrose $50
record of 1873 seconds, the fastest time
ever made in the Garden. Jim Herbert
Of N. Y. U. kept up his all-winter win
ming in the 600-yard race, and came
home an easy victor in 1:11.4, scoring his
third Millrose record triumph by tenth
of second, and being only three-tenths
of second behind the world record held
by him.
In the presence of the two Firms,
Maxi and NurIni, John Borican, world
record holder for the 1,000-yard race,

not be right to compel them to be
governed by the votes of the natives and
non-G Government workers. A fair and
Just solution of the matter was arrived
at by providing that the Congress,
elected by the people of all the States,
should govern the city and be their legis-
lative assembly. One great advantage
of this system is that any resident Of
the District now has the right and
privilege of carrying his wants to any
member of Congress, no matter what
State he comes from or what party he
belongs to.
Then consider the caliber and ability
of the Commissioners selected, the two
civilians being appointed by the Presi-
dent with the advice and consent of the
Senate, from genuine legal residents of
the District. The President is free to
act on his own best judgment and has
every incentive to select the best ma
terial available. The engineer Com
missioner is a man thoroughly trained
and educated by the Government for
engineering work, and has supervision
over the construction of streets, bridges
and public works in general. The
record in the District Is that they have
been men of exceptional ability and have
made excellent officers. The present
chairman OF the Board Of Commits
sioners, Melvin G. Hazen, for example,
is an excellent civilian Commissioner.
OF course, all officers are human and
sometimes make errors. 1t is also true
that there is no Government, city or
State, that could not be improved upon.
But it seems certain that by electing a
board Of aldermen and mayor and
thus plunging the Government of this
city into the throes of partisan politics
and the corruption that has so fire.
quently followed such Government in
other cities would not improve matters.
We had better let well enough alone.

FUTURE DEVELOPMENT

The 1940 census now being taken
 indicates healthy growth of popu- lation Given the proper encour-
 agement both Territorially and na- tionally this growth should con- tinue. And growth of population means prosperity The events of last year and this year make it in- creasingly plain that Alaska's econ omy rests none too securely on it's
 two chief props, mining and fish cries. While everything should be done to enable these two major in- dustries to serve the Territory and it's peoples needs, a correspond ingly great effort should be made to develop other additional sources of income. The closing of mines, as in the case of Kennecott, and the limitation imposed on fisheries should be sufficient warning to us in Alaska, to bend every effort to broaden the Territory's economic base.
 RECREATIONAL INDUSTRY
 The best prospective field for de- velopment is the recrea tional. It has become today the chief support of a number of States in the Union and in others it is very substantial form of economic activity and source Of revenue. With European travel cut off a vastly increased number of persons will desire to visit AL aska. If airplane service from Se- attle is established, many people from the East, who have hitherto considered Alaska too distant from the standpoint of time consumed, will fly across the continent and to Alaska for their. vacations. It is true that the insufficiency of ship ping would appear to furnish ser ious handicap to the development of this industry which caters to fish

ermen, hunters, health seekers, na- ture lovers, and people in pursuit of vacation activities generally. However, this obstacle for the time being is less serious than it appears since Alaska has hitherto gotten relatively little benefit out of the tourist who merely travels about on boat, is in our ports only a few hours, and perhaps rushes through one section of Alaska in a few days. What is desired is to have tourists spend considerable time in Alaska and what is needed to bring this about is an increase of accom- modations and the development of suitable recreational facilities with in Alaska The Federal Government

has made fine beginning with the construction of the hotel at the entrance of Mt. Mckinley National Park and purposes to build cabins and lodges at the end of the 90- mile highway near Wonder Lake The Forest Service is alive to the needs of the vacationists. Private enterprise has done excellently in the construction of hotel facilities in Juneau, Fairbanks, and nearing completion in Sitka. This is, how ever, but beginning. Simple ca bins and camps on shore of ocean, lake or stream of the type that al ready exist on Kenai River, along the Richardson Highway, and else where, do not require great invest ments and are within the means of local private enterprise. The money that such tourists spend will stay in Alaska Directly or indirectly everyone benefits.

MILLION DOLLAR
 SURVEY SHIP TO
 WORK IN ALASKA
Explorer Going Through Final Faces Before
 Heading North

Complete to the last detail and ready for the sea, the $1,250,000 U. s. Coast and Geodetic Survey ship Explorer was delivered to the Se- attle headquarters of the service this month.
 The Explorer replaces the famous old wooden vessel Explorer, veteran of many years service in Alaskan waters, and she will in turn take up her duty in Northern seas along the Alaska Peninsula and Aleutian Islands.
 The new steel vessel, built by the Lake Washington Shipyards, is re- garded as one of the finest of her type afloat combining latest devel- opments in shipbuilding as to hull and motive power and the best and most modern scientific instruments for the precision work which will be done on board She also is the largest ship in the service

 The muskrat catch increased from 291, ,140 in 1888 to AT ,442 in 1889. Red and cross fox shipments were up from 17,262 in 1888 to 23,644 in 1939. Shipments of mink pelts increased from 39,866 in 1888 to 42,893 in 1889.
 Another important gain was made in the Arctic white foxes which have been at low ebb for several years. The catch increased from 3519 in 1888 to 4,187 during the past year
The Daily Alaska empire., 1940-03-31

This amount is $48,073.94 less than the previous year, due to general decline in value of the various belts.
 The price of red fox dropped from S9.25 to $7.50 Mink declined from $11.5O to $975. Blue fox was off from S26.50 to $2300. There was a slight increase in the values of lynx, beaver, muskrat and marten pelts but not enough to offset the general slump which took place in the worlds fur market.

be found if many of the services to which Alaskans have become ac- customed, and are entitled to. and others which they may deem de- sirable. are to be carried on. Even this year there has been sharp diminution of the revenues anti cipated by the last Legislature. The suspension of the Copper River Rail- road and the loss of it's tax revenues to the Territory, the increased eX- emption from the percent gold tax from $10,000 to $20,000 adopted by the last Legislature, and diminu- tion in the revenues from fisheries from last year have already created financial stringency which will be increasingly felt before the end of this year Alaska also has many requirements which cannot be sat- .isfied unless the people of the Ter ritory themselves make up their minds that they want them. Con- greSS is in a mood of economy and it seems likely that the policy of retrenchment now begun will in crease rather than diminish. This is a problem which the next Leg islature, meeting in January, l941, will face. It is not a situation that presents any insuperable obstacle but requires merely intelligent study and appraisal, followed by appro- priate action.

In Shutout Victory

CLEVELAND, June IA Up -
Only five outs separated Johnny
Allen from a no-hit pitching trl-

that dream with a single over
shortstop Lou Boudreau's head, but
Allen turned in a rwo-hit, 8 to 0
shutout for Cleveland in the opener
of the four-game series with Phila-
delphia.
Allen, who has never returned
to consistent winning form after
an arm operation a year and a
half ago, was the master today for
his third 1910 victory against the
same number of setbacks. He
opened by walking Benny Mccoy
and then retired % batters in order.
Boudreau jumped high in an eff
fort to prevent Chapman's eighth
inning \single, but couldn't reach
the ball. A moment later, Pinch
Hitter Joe Gantenbein made the
Athletics second and last single.
. Chubby Dean was dubbed for
three hits and two runs in the

driving them in, and the Indians
finished Dean with a four-run out
