captioned, ASTRONOMICAL FIG
URES." We mentioned that the
Treasury Department is collecting,
annually, about one billion, two
hundred million dollars in revenue
from the sale of alcoholic beverages.
Our figures were short a couple of
hundred millions. The actual Federal
revenue collected was S. ,423, SAG, 457
for the fiscal year ended June 80,
1913. And while you are now geared-
up to think in big figures. please let
me add up the grand total of public
revenues from the sale of alcoholic
beverages since Repeal ten billion.
six hundred and seven million, six
hundred and eighty-six thousand, one
hundred and eight dollars!
Aside from its role as Number One
Tax Collector for the Federal Gov
eminent, the Alcoholic Beverage In
dustry also collects revenue for terri
torial, state and local governments.
In 1912, it turned over to state and
local treasures 1904, $3.50, 267, the
highest yearly total since Repeal. This
was 1879 above the 1941 total. BY
mid 1913, the total state and local
revenues. alone, from alcoholic bever-
ages since Repeal, amounted to about
threeand three-quarter billiondollars.
The Distilled Spirits branch of the
Alcoholic Beverage Industry (distH-
lers of whiskey, gin, brandy, rum and
neutral spirits) is unique in this criti-
cal emergency period. 1t is unique
because, while the sale of its products
out of reserve stocks is providing
enormous tax revenues now, it is not
manufacturing a single drop of its pro-
ducts now. Whisky distiliing ceased
in November 1912. All the distilling
facilities of the industry are engaged
in making precious var alcohol, prin-
cipally used in the making of smoke
less powder and synthetic rubber. We
cannot think, of another American in
d.tstry so situated that it can do this
DOUBLE-BARRELED kind of job.
I think it is important that even
the most casual thinker should take
cognizance of this fact because,
whether he is a casual or a careful
thinker, he must realize that this
vast sum of money is urgently needed,
and must come from some source,
and he and 13O, OO0, 900 other Ameri-
cans must supply it in some manner.
We think if you are one of the 70 %
of American voters who voted for
Repeal, you will get some satisfaction
out of the fact that, not only did you
contribute to the restoration of the
rights of the individual and respect
for constitutional authority, but,
perhaps unknowingly, you contrib
uted to the re-birth of an industry
which is playing 80 important a part
in the economic life of a nation during
its most critical period.

Financial Record
Tho new budget contains an APP
preparation of $2,lS8,o0 for the
Alaska Office of Indian Affairs, the
first time the figure has exceeded
the 100000 mark and an increase
over the last of S250,0o0
In 1886, only $595,o0o was appro-
pristed for the year for the In
dian Offices Department of Educa-
tion and the figure for the present
year is Sl,40o,o0o. the greatest in
crease over period of years being
shown in this department.
Comparative figures for other de-
partments, according to the En-
pire's files, show that in 1886 only
s3l4.000 was appropriated for med
ical service to natives and that fl
CURE has now doubled to 1901, 700.
Similarly the reindeer appropria-
ton in 1896 was 5000 and that
figure is now $4,000.
New Hospitals
Under Hirst's administration four
new hospitals were built for the
natives, those at PIT. Barrow, Bethel,
Kanakanak and Tanana at cost
of about 100000.
Since he came here some 20 new
school buildings have been built
for natives, costing about 100000.
Some 200 more employees have
been added to the office in the
past eight years to administer to
the expanded services.
After the formation of the Credit
and Organization Division, thou
sands of dollars were loaned to ma
tives for education Outside, to build
a cannery, boats and cooperative
stores.
For the first time in many years
all of the cooperative stores owned
and operated by the natives are in
good shape financially and there
are 40 of them throughout Alaska.
The extension of the educational
system to natives is noted in the
increase of enrolment during the
past eight years from 1000 to the
present 1000.
Arts And Crafts
The Arts and Crafts Division de-
veloped from scratch under Hirst's
administration. Prior to 1886 much
of the curios sold in the Territory
were made in Japan and these imi-
tations which could be sold cheaper
than the genuine Alaskan articles
we're a threat to the industry from
which the natives of Alaska derived
much of their income.
The problem was licked before
the war started and according to
reliable estimates about 100000
worth Of these Alaskan items will
be sold during this year, all of the
money going to the natives who
produced the goods.
Many wires and letters from ma
tives all the way from st. Lawrence
Island to Metlakatla, according to
reports from Outside, flooded the
national headquarters Of the Indian
Office and the office of the Secre-
taf'y of the Interior, protesting the
transfer.
Statement
Hirst said that II have been very
happy in my work with the natives
Of Alaska during the past eight
years. The natives have given whole
hearted and intelligent cooperation
to me in administering to the af-
fairs of the office and I greatly
appreciate the cooperation of these
people in everything"
Hirst said that his successor, Fos-
ter, has made a good record as chief
of the Carson City district, that
Foster is an able administrator and
good man for the office
The change will be made shortly
after April l, he said.

Will federal employees vote for
Roosevelt?
Governor Bricker thinks so and
casts worried look towards Uncle
Sam, the largest single employer
in the nation. Out of these men
and women on the 100000 pay
roll of Uncle Sam, FIVE out of the
six have been added during the
Roosevelt Administration.
The presidential candidate
says, ut is a New Deal axiom that
every individual added to the Fed
eral payroll is equivalent to four
additional votes for the fourth term
aspirations of Mr.. Roosevelt"
II true, the Federal employee and
his family hold balance of power
in next months election. The num-
Der OF Federal employees in Michi-
gan has more than doubled, with
$500 as compared with 20,444 in
1910.
In Michigan, which has 10 cleo
toral votes, the number of govern
ment workers today is greater than
the 1910 majority in the Roosevelt
Willkie campaign. with some 52,137
workers as compared to a 6,926
1910 majority.
The distribution OF these new
federal employees does not entirely
help the Democrats. The official
Civil Service figures show conclus-
lively that the largest percentage
increases have been in the states
which are considered safe" for
Roosevelt, mainly in the South.
For example, the Florida payroll
has jumped FIVE times since 1910.
The largest numerical increase was
in California, which President
Roosevelt won by 100000 votes
in 1"40. New York was second,
Illinois third, and Brokers own
Ohio fourth.
The war, OF course, caused the
increases with II out of every IS
appointments made in the War
and Navy Departments. But during
the vast expansion program, both
departments were headed by Re-
publicans-Secretary Stimson in
the War Department and the late
Secretary Knox in the Navy De-
partment.
