other vocation" just about includes the works.
 Anyway, if you are self-employed, you're guaranteed hundred dollar income each month for maximum of twelve months, depending upon length of service You go to work fer yourself Each month you add up your business expenses, then add up your gross income. If, above ex- penses, you haven't cleared hun dfed dollars for yourself, the govern mcnt will make up the difference. This holds, even if you didn't make a dime or if you lest money. You will get the huNdred-if you go as- ter {,
 Any U s. Employment Service of flee has a simple form to be filled cut whenever you find that you didn't net hundred in any one month It's V. A. Finance Form 1887 And the veterans representa- tive in the USES office will help you in making out the form So, fer these of us who go into business fer ourselves-any kind of legitimate business--I repeat: Don't overlook this bet
 Of course there can be complica- tions. A veteran who had bough, 8 small chicken farm on the uneasy payment plan, also acquired hun dred small chickens. After two months he had only ninety-one. He'd lest four to death, two to hawks, and thrC guess, to wanderlust
 At the USES office, he filled out his form It showed he had made only S75 during c,.e month. AS an expense, he entered the cost of the nine chickens That started an in ternal argument, and it wasn't long before all concerned were scarcely on glaring terms. Was it an ex- pense, or was it a normal expect cd less, or was it and so on? The argument hasn't exactly ended, al- though the USES has asked it's higher regional office for an off eial 'uling.
 Logic would seem to make it an expense. But, if there is material for an argument, say forget the argument and yes the veteran. 1 Ire question of what makes you eligible for this self-employed guar antee of .$l00 month will have to go over until next time

I just heard of veteran who got himself a fruit farm after he left the service. Oranges and lemons True, the buildings on the place were sort of sway-backed like an old farm horse, but the trees were enjoying good health and there were lot of them.
 Tie first month he mad the place he didn't make any money No fruit. Just some blossoms. The odor was out of this world but he couldn't sell the smell So my friend went to a United States Employment Ser vice office, filed out form which showed he hadn't made any money out of his venture during the pre- vious month and, in couple of weeks, be got $100 from the gov enment!,
 The next month, the same thing happened. Third month-pretty much the same. By this time, the petals of the blossoms had fluttered away like a lazy snow-flurry and small, new fruit dotted his trees. Three months had gone-and now a couple Of more filed by, Indian fash ion That was $500 the government had paid him.
 Then came a month when the fruit was ready He netted about $500 that month, then $500 the next month. And during the next two months he made more good money. Of course, the government didn't pay him anything during those four months, but the following month, his fruit having now been sold, he made no money; so back he went to the USES office, filed a form, and collected S100.
 And can hear you screaming How long has this been going on?, Well, it's been just since October lo44. Let me tell you about it, in ] case you don't know
 If you work for yourself, the GI Bill of Rights speaks of you as self employed for profit" So, brother if you're an eligible veteran, this is {, your chance to start that business of your own. You can work for yourself in any trade, business, pro- fession or other vocation.
 The law also says in an indepen- dent establishment" but remind me to find out what that means. It would seem that self-employment in any trade, business, profession oi

Poor Digestion? Gn .1 7
 Aeadachy? nu Sour or Upset? 0u Tired-ListIess? D0

Do you feel headachy and upset due to poorly digested food? To feel cheerful and happy again your food must be digested properly.
 Each day, Nature must produee about two pints of vital digestive juice to help digest your food. If Nature fails, your food may remain undieested-- leaving you headachy and irritable.
 Therefore, you must increase the flow of this digestive juice. Carter's Little Liver Pills increase this flow quickly often in as little as 80 minutes. And, you're on the road to feeling better.
 Don't depend on artificial aids to counteract indigestion-whe Carter's Little Liver Pills aid digestion after Ma tures own order. Take Carter's Little Liver Pills as directed. Get them at any drugstore. Only 25s.

Revenue Bond Bills Putin By Bartlett
Measure Would Give May.
 ors, Councils in Alaska New Authority
By MARY LEE COUNCIL tSecretary to E. L. Bartlett. Delegate to Congress from the Territory of Alaskal.

WASHINGTON, March B F A bill designed to give a greater measure of home rule to municipal corporations in Alaska was intro duced in the House this week by Delegate Bartlett. The bill, which also applies to public utility dis tricts, would make it possible for levonue ponds to be issued without the necessity for election.
 Until 1886 it was necessary to come to Congress for authority to issue any class of bonds in what ever amount. In that year, Delegate Dimond sponsored a bill which made it possible for Alaska to hold elections for issuance of general obligation bonds without congress sional approval provided the total bonded indebtedness of the city would not exceed 10 per cent of the assessed valuation of the real property. However, the requirement. that "a specified percentage of tax payers must approve revenue bonds continued to exist, notwithstand- ing the fact that such bonds do not constitute lien in any sense of the word on taxable property.
 If the measure now presented be- comes law, the mayors and councils of Alaska communities will act in effect as boards of directors in de- termining whether revenue bonds should be issued for public works of permanent character Elections for issuance of such bonds would no longer be required This is gen. eral practice throughout the States, and Delegate Bartlett expressed himself as being strongly in favor of extending similar right to the Territory.

HAINEs-ALAsKA HIGHWAY

Recently Delegate Bartlett con- ferred with Commissioner Thomas Macdonald of Public Roads Ad- ministration in an attempt to find a solution to the problem of dis posal of the road connecting Haines with the Alaska Highway.
 Engineers of various Government agencies have made cost estimates for the relocation and reconstruc- tion of that part of the highway lying within the boundaries of AL aska and have also made estimates for improvement and maintenance over a five-year period of the en- tire length of the road from Haines to Fairbanks. Conversations are now being held between several of the Government agencies and the State Department looking toward nego- tiations with Canada to arrive at a satisfactory agreement as to the future use of the highway which lies within Canadian territory.

TURNAGAIN ARM SURVEY

Delegate Bartlett has been in- formed that Public Roads Adminis- tration has sent to Alaska a bridge engineer to conduct a survey to determine the most practicable and feasible site for the crossing of Turnagain Arm.
 Delegate Bartlett has been as- sured that local labor will be en- ployed and exhaustive surveys will be made. The surveys follow pre- vious studies conducted last year by Public. Roads administration estimating costs of proposed routes. A very excellent study was also made in behalf of the Anchorage Chamber of Commerce by Victor c. Rivers, Anchorage engineer.
 The crossing of the Arm would make possible highway connection between Anchorage and Seward and other sections of Kenai Peninsula, , Delegate Bartlett stated, "and would encourage settlement in and make accessible the Peninsula, con- sldered by many people to be the best farming area in the Territory. l believe this is one of the more urgently-needed projects in Alaska ,

Removing Wartime Controls
New York Tines

The problem of when and how ito remove wartime
controls difficult it is important The research
committee Of the Committee for Economic Develop
ment published a report on this problem which en-
phasizes its Complicated nature and deserves the
thoughtful study of Congress and the existing Federal
control agencies.
The committee believes that the problem of re-
moving wartime controls can be most profitably
viewed as one divided into four periods: Cd that
preceding Victory Europe Day, Co that between
We Day and victory Japan, (3 that between
VI Day and perhaps six months thereafter, and
finally "a that after VI Day plus six months Some
controls the committee points out can be and should
be relaxed Immediately after We Day, some i'm
mediately after VI Day. and the rest over longer
period.
Several of the governing principles in the reaxa-
ton of wartime controls well stated The COM
mittee insists, for example, that all controls should
be subject to review by definite date, and that none
should be continued except by positive decision ana
action. What happened after the First World war
is cited warning, when certain wartime controls
were allowed to continue through naction simply
because they already there. This time, the CED
committee thinks the Director of Reconversion should
within six months after final victory review all
controls and remove all that not clearly necessary
beyond that date The committee urges also that our
national policy regarding the end of controls should
be clearly stated now, or at the earliest possible
moment SO that industry and labor will be able to
plan accordingly.
The recommendations OF Ine cOIiliIlttee are HoO
in all respects as clear might wish 1t cannot
make up its mind for example whether the greater
postwar danger will come from Initiation or de
flation" 1t lays down several guiding principles IN
SO vague a manner that some administrators could
use them to justify almost indefinite continuation
of controls At points it seems unduy concerned with
symptoms rather than with basic causes.
The report does recognize, however, that ar
brary continuation of all controls would retard the
attainment of a high level of production and en-
poyment" 1t recognizes Also regarding a policy OF
price floors agricultural products that such con-
trolls would protect existing Embellishments ellm-
nate the stimulus of consumption caused by low prices
and be detrimental to expansion and employment
But at some points the report to emphasize too
much the dangers of removing controls, while failing
to emphasize sufficiently the dangers OF artiflcaly
fixing prices or wages after the war so that they
might throttle economic activity either by discourage
ing consumption or by paralyzing production
Yet the CED report is public-splrlted study
which must make everyone who reads it aware OF the
complicated problems of the postwar period and
aware also of the need for formulating without delay
a definite and we'll considered program for dealing
with them.

BISHOP CRIMONT

Seldom is it the lot of to be able to pursue
SO steadfast a course along chosen path did the
Most Reverend Joseph Raphael Crimont, Roman
Catholic Bishop of Alaska whose passing Sunday left
another wide gap in the ranks of those to whom
Alaska owes much of both its present and its future
spirit kindled by Love of the Lord, Bishop
Crimonts and a heart humble and overlooking with
gratitude and friendship marked him through the
days when in travel-staned furs he trod the outand
trails bringing in himself light and in his faith
beacon to two generations of Alaskans-ever fondly
watching the Territory grow and develop from rugged
frontier wilderness toward the modern standards and
achievements of today
Bishop Crimonts triumphs physical limita-
lions that threatened to turn him from his chosen
path denote his unfaltering purpose. His path
to challenge the hardiest-but, in body he frail
in faith purpose and spirit he was a giant. At the
time his Father called him. the Oldest living American
Bishop he left behind him record of many years of
arduous service and hardships endured in mushing
th6usnds of miles over Aaska's SHOWS and threading
faith ana the teachings of Christian living into the
humbest homes of the land.
Bishop Crimont's qualities earned him recognition
that transcribed sectarian considerations Occasions
that marked the milestones of his were note
worthy for the cosmopolitan of the tributes
freely paid him and his work From all walks of life,
from all strata of society, from holders of all creeds

count nor did he ever forget them AS his Lord had
ordained the least of those with whom he came

PETTY NEEDING

I Personal pettiness has featured
smuch of our recent relationship
with Russia. The Russians, for in
stance, have never quite forgotten
fChief of Staff Marshall's press con-
ference when he predicted the fall
, of Moscow in six weeks. Gen. Mar
shall was only taking the word of
his Military Intelligence, and is not
anti-Russian But Red Army Cen
erals never forgot it.
Later, the War Department made
the mistake of yanking Gen. Philip
Faymonville, the only U. S. mill
tary man whom the Russians liked
and who spoke the language, out
of Moscow, and replacing him with
an anti-Russian friend Of Gen.
Marshall's, Gen. John r. Deane.
Russian officials considered es-
pecially significant the fact that
Gen. Faymonville, their friend. was
reduced in rank to Colonel.
Somewhat more serious has been
the petty needing of State De-
parfment officials. In the first

when some of our diplomats were
among those who ardently favored
the Cliveden-Set theory of build
ing up strong Germany against
Russia.
One up on the State Department
needlers, however, when it comes
to souring our relations with Russia
are certain Admirals and Generals
who look upon war with Russia as
foregone conclusion. Though we
have no territory that either
covets, though our borders are in
no way contiguous, and though our
peoples when they come in genuine
contact usually like each other,
some of the Brass Hats have al
ready proposed building 70 war
ships for an expected war against
Russia.

don't. And when the Soviets figure
that the other side is out to knife
them, they in turn can and do re-
sort to the most ruthless knitting
in return. In fact they are much
better at it than we are.
When the Russians want to
swing the knife. they don't leave
anything to guesswork. U. S Of
ficials who have negotiated with
the Russians on economic matters
in w Washington say that when
things strike a snag you can feel
it all along the line. Not only Is
the top negotiator difficult, but his
assistants start throwing monkey
wrenches, his clerks won't deliver
messages, and even his chauffelu
bangs the door in your face. They
all sabotage as team. On thf
other hand, when the negotiations
are going we'll, everybody on the
Russian front smilingly cooperates
There is nothing they won't do
from the chauffeur up.
Unfortunately, since the Yalta
Conference, a very big monkey
wrench has been thrown into
Americana Soviet relations. Appar-
emily word has gone down the line
all the way to the Russian COM
mander in Berlin, who won't admit
American newspapermen into the
ruined capital of Germany, tc
