asked what his advice to Boylc
 would be.
 , Rivers replied that he would ad- wise the Auditor to stop payment only in the case some person should protest it. He added, If the Legislature takes the initiative of passing" such an appropriation, T can't blame the Auditor if he hon. CTS it. Nor, he declared, would he feel called upon to take action himself. Tt would be 40 against two" was his position
 But, when Senator Cochran challenged Rivers, if he does not deem it his duty to protect the Territory from illegally paying out the funds, followed by a direct question from Walker, the At torney General answered. That he would back up the Auditor if the latter saw fit to object to voucher pdyillcle.
 Then, the Auditor can't pay with your approval, was Cochrans sum- mary. That's correct, was the At torney Generals last answer; leaving Petersburg's projects in shadow

Coffey. submitted letter from Bristol Bay resident, which related that bodies of two men buried at Libbyville have been en- croached upon by tides until the coffins are exposed, The writer maintained that, since the Terri tory buried them, it should re-bury them
 Senator Coffey confirmed state ments in the letter that the De- partment of Public Welfare and the Department of Health had both refused to take action because they had no specific funds appli- cable to the purpose. Coffey asked that the letter be redirected to the Governor along with a memoran- dunn from the Senate advising that the matter be taken care of from the Emergency Fund appropriation to the Goyernor's Office
 Senator Walker objected ana Senator Cochran expressed ser ious doubt" that the Department of Health or the Welfare Depart ment could not act if they wished.

start scratching names off your
list-but decide here and now to

Cigarettes and Prince Albert
Smoking Tobacco. These popular
brands are all dressed up in fes-

Camel comes in a handsome ten

flavorful Camel cigarettes. And
for the pipe smoker, tongue-friend-

Here's job for some patriotic Or

taken over by weekly newspaper
publishers since it's a fundamental
grassroots job of education. The
Presidents committee on civil
rights in its recent report declared
that, its surveys revealed only one
out of five Americans has reason
ably accurate knowledge of the Bill

JingIing Jeans
IN WASHINGTON


DingIing Jeans
WHEN the nations farm
w ers have sold all their
crops at the end of 1947 they
will be jingling something
more than 20 billions Of dollars
for their years work in their
collective jeans - record income.
The real nubbin of the situation,
however, is what will the farmer
have left to jingle once he gets all
his bills paid for the year, for the
test of any business or any income
is "What is the net profit?" and not
"What is the gross income?"
So wheat, bringing farmers
an average of S2.43 a bushel,
means no more in net profit this
year than did 81 wheat with
prices the farmer paid at a rela-
lively lower index.
The department Of agriculture's
bureau of agricultural economics
reports prices farmers received
reached an index of 1856 last month,
a rise of 10 per cent since last March
and % per cent higher than the post
World War I high of May, 1920. At
the same time prices paid by farm
ers, including interest and taxes,
established a new all-time high Of
237, also 10 per cent above a year
