FOREST ROADS

The Federal Highway Act of 1940 which passed the House some time ago has been reported to the Senate by the Senate Committee on Post Of fices and Post Roads and, as so re- ported, retains in the bill a figure fixed by the House of S500,000 per year for the fiscal years 1941 and 1922 for the construction of forest highways in Alaska. Delegate Di- mond filed with the Chairman of the Senate Committee, Hon. Ken meth Mcclellan, a statement urging that the amount be not reduced and pointing out the need for greatly in creased funds for the construction of highways, roads and trails in the Alaska National Forest areas.
 Following is a list of expendi- lures in Alaska for forest highways for the fiscal years 1894 to 1940, in elusive, the 194O figures being an estimate:

 There are but a very few persons who will be effected by the floor stocks tax on distilled spirits in the State of Washington, being practi- cally limited to Che State Liquor Board and Bonded Warehouses.
 While tavern operators who dis pense beer and wine only at retail will not be effected by these taxes, they will, however be subject to a ten percent increase in the special tax stamp required by the Federal government for these dealers. Per sons selling only beer. or other fer mented malt liquors shall be re- quired to pay S22.00 for this stamp; those selling both beer and wine shall pay s2750 instead of the pre- vious old rates of s2O.00 and $25.0O respectively

 The agenies affected include the Social Security Board. Department of Justice, Childrens Bureau Office of Indian Affairs and the Depart ment of Public Welfare. It is hoped that by arranging a meeting at which the whole welfare program can be studied by the policy making officials concerned that a fully CO ordinated and developed total plan program an be effected more easily than in Alaska where the necessity of referring every step taken in such program development to Wash ington makes progress very slow.

 Politics in the last few years has taken some queer slants and the 194O picture reveals them glaringly. Four years ago Frank Knox. who is now Mr. Rooseyelt's Secretary of Navy. was the COP Vice Presiden tial candidate, teaming with Ali Lan- don of Kansas. As We recall it, it was AIr. Knox who had the slogan Run the Rascals Out" printed in the masthead of his Chicago Daily News during that campaign. About the same time. Mr. Willkie, who is now leading the Republicans. was going up the byWays and down the highways singing the praises Of the liberal New Deala and President Roosevelt. That, of course, was be- fore the New Deals cheap power program stepped on the toes Of Mr Willkie's Commonwealth and South ern. And, too. before MT. Knox ac- cepted failure of effort to run the rascals out. It reviyes the famed old Joe Cannon political philosophy which was If you cant beat 'em, join 'em,"

Now that the Republicans have held their big show in Philadelphia and named their standard bearers for the summer and fall campaign. political eyes are focused on Chica- ge where the Democrats go into a similar huddle on July 15 to see what kind of a rabbit they can pull out Of the hat. The GOPers gave them a goal to shoot at by naming a couple Of outstanding men as their presidential and vice presi- dential nominees. While Wendell L. Willkie, the Republican presidential nominee, was virtually unknown to the rank and file of the voters of the country until a few weeks ago. the boom which brought him up from nowhere to head the COP ticket in dieates that the man has color and popular appeal. Whether he has sufficent vote-getting ability to off set the fact that he is a corporation attorney who, until his nomination, headed one of the biggest private utility concerns in the nation Commonwealth and Southern---re- mains to be seen, but, certainly, his record for private business success is outstanding.
 His running mate, Senator Charles L. McNary of Oregon, is an old liner. McNary comes right from the grass roots of Oregon's famed Willamette Valley. He's been a Re- publican power for years whereas. in contrast, Willkie until a short four years ago was in the Demo- cratic camp.
 So when the Democrats meet in Chicago on the 18th they know what they're up against. It may prove to be a decided advantage, for now while they do the usual pointing with pride they can view with alarm with definite pointed effect. It's much easier when you know what you're shooting at than to be aiming in the general diree- tion of something. That's the posit- ion the donkey riders find them selves in now. They know their job, II 1ACs C4pECl lu COulluuC III OlllG6y is to outpoint Messers. WilIkie and McNary at the fall election. Very different from 1896. the Democrats have a mans size job cut out for them this time, although if the famous Roosevelt luck holds for them as it has for the last eight years, the odds will be more than even in their favor.

 The Alaska delegation to the chi cago convention will be a draft Roosevelt-for-th -third-term delegation. There are one or two Of the dele gates who are opposed to the third term idea on principle but they are all bound to go along as instructed by their convention. There are many other delegations from the States in the same position giving the fndi- cation that President Roosevelt will be definitely in charge of the con- Vention from the point of voting strength. With the international situation what it is, it's better than. an even bet that If Mir. Roosevelt agreed ito take a third term, the delegates in Chicago would sweep him into nomination on the first ballot. They might do it anyway

DANIEL XII: 1910?


When troubled. in mind, Floyd
Hill, something of a patriarch in
the Long Fork section, goes to the
Scriptures for comfort. He reads
the eventual downfall of Hitler in
the book of Daniel, and refers us
to one part in particular which
we give below.
Daniels version foretold the
rise end fall of an ancient king,
but its high lights dovetail re-
markedly with the doings of
Adolf Hitler. The King James
version reads as follows:
And after the league made
with him he shall work deceitful-
ly and shall become strong
with small people And he
shall stir up his power and his
courage against the king of the
south with great army; and the
king of the south shall be stirred
up to battle but he shall not
stand; for they shall forecast de-
vices against him. Yea, they that
feed of the portion of his meat
shall destroy him .
Then shall he return into his
land At the time appointed he
shall return, and come toward the
south; but it shall not be as the
former for the ships of Chittim
shall come against him: therefore
he shall be grieved, and return.
and have indignation against the
holy covenant And such as do
wickedly against the covenant
shall he corrupt by batteries
And the king shall do accord
ing to his will; and he shall ex-
alt himself, and magnify himself
above every god Neither shall
he regard the God of his fathers,
nor the desire of women But
in his estate shall he honor the
God of forces
And at the time Of the end
shall the king of the south push
at him; and the king of the north
shall come against him like a
whirlwind,' with chariots, and
with horsemen, and with many
ships; and he shall enter into the
countries and many countries
shall be overthrown: but these
shall escape out of his hand
But tidings out of the east and
out of the north shall trouble
him; therefore he shall go forth
with great fury to destroy, and
utterly to make away many.
yet he shall come to his end, and
none shall help him.
