WHO'S BETTER OFF?

A recent National City Bank Review report mas been forwarded to us by local concern to illustrate that the recent years prosperity have been enjoyed to a much greater extent by workers-and miners specialization by people who have invested then funds in providing jobs
 The comparison uses the 1880 living standard Of various groups as a norm of 100. It shows that by last year the economic of the coal miner had increased to lel-admost double-whe the purchasing and that of the wealthy stockholder to 31 per cent This does insinue that the improvement in the status of the miners is not desirable The plight of the tvpical miner in 1880 was not ideal by any means. But the comparison is interesting in it's illustration how predominantly the trend has been in favor oi the miner-and it's something to be borne in mind when the steady increase in the cost of coal in recent years is considered
 Incidentally the same statistical comparison shows some other interesting disproportions in the way the prosperity of the last decade has been shared Ac- cording to the National City Banks figures. the railway worker enjoys an economic status Of l22 as compared with 100 in 1880, whereas the railway executivess status has dropped from 100 to 78 The teachers status has increased only from 100 to 109 while sthe textile worker and the automobile worker have bettered their standing to l39 and l32, re- spectively.
 The typical pension is apprecably worse off having slumped from norm of 100 to a standing O 7r last year The only groups worse off than tht pensioners in standpoint of relative change, are the stockholders and bondhoders

Upon the natural resources of a nation rests that nations secury-and it's future This has been proved over and againfrom the earliest days of civii- zation down to the present Nations which did not preserve their soils their woods and their waters de- clined steadily wealth, importance and prosperity
 In comparatively recent years metal-another in- valuable natural resource-has into the picture. Primitive man knew little of metal and it's But todays civilization depends upon metals to fill hun ded thousand needs This great underground resource has become as important to living the original three-soi, water and forests.

 The issue disguised as part of States rights program, will be an important one this fall. Oil plugging for legislation which will allow to the Gulf States control of the coastal fields The States involved have shown, by past records, that they are willing to do what the oil desire. If the Federal Government abandons to the States the re- serve fields, the American people, to whom they actually belong can look forward to quick depletion of most valuable national asset. That will petroleum a-plenty-for while.

He made a fool out o1 himself in the Howard Hughes investigation, was bluffed out of his probe of Senator Thomas of Oklahoma when Thomas threatened to go after Ferguson and, finally, dropped the Tucker Auto investigation for req sons best known to himself, but after the COP national committee woman from Michigan was paid $l7,850. A honey, congenial per sonality, Ferguson won't stand up under fire. He has lost all chance of being Deweys Attorney General the job he so ardently coveted.
 Ed Johnson, Democrat, Colorado A tough veteran who knows his legislative onions, Johnson does good job for his State and his voting record usually represents the folks back home. He is a com petent public servant.
 James Murray, Democrat, Mon tana-Though a millionaire, Murray has spent all his years in the Senate battling for the underdog No Senator on either side of the aisle has a better record. On international issues and such do- mestic problems as health and 1 housing, he will support Dewey l far better than his COP colleague from Montana.
 Edward V. RObertscn, Re,publi- can, Wyoming-Manager of the Coe Ranch, owned by his brother in-law, the Senator has been the undying friend of the big sheep and cattle men, but voted against ! most measures for labor and the little fellow Born in England, he married the daughter of H.

ate. therefore, is second only to the election of President. With this in mind, here is the Merry Go-Round roll-call of U. s. Sen- ators up for election next month:
 Joseph Ball, Republican, Minne- sota-A mixed-up personality who gets tangled in his own emotions. A former editorial writer, Ball came to the Senate determined to do right, but when he swung to Roosevelt in 1944 he was so ostra- cized by his own Republicans that, to win back their favor, he swung to the reactionary extreme. Joe has now been on so many differ ent sides of so many different fences that he has lost his useful ness.
 Styles Bridges, Republican, New Hampshire-A tough, fortnight scrapper who has usually voted against his isolationist COP col leagues. He watches pennies, rais- es Cain over too much spending and frequently votes against the COP reactionaries. Bridges is ar asset to the Senate.
 "Curley" Brooks, Republican, H. inOis,-Brooks has been opposed tt almost all of Dewey's New Yorl record. A likeable personality with a charming wife, Brooks i. wholly controlled by the Chicago Tribune and is almost proud of it If reelected he will be in Dewey hair on many issues.
 Jchn Cooper, Republican, Ken. tucsy-Has made an excellent rec. ord during his brief term in tht Senate, has supported Democrat. on foreign policy. and will be ar asset if reelected

HOMES COST VETS RIGHT
 TO BALLOT

DENVER. R.-LR- More than 300 veterans and their families are bar red from voting in the l948 cleo tion.
 The reason: the land on which they live-part of Fort Logan-ee- longs to the Veterans Administra- ton.
 The Army post is one of the old est in the west Still posted on the old barracks walls when World War II started were signs instructing the soldiers not to shoot buffalo from the windows.
 It was used as an induction cen- ter during the war. Once the war ended, the War Department turned part of it over to the Veterans Ad- ministration.
 The VA gave use permit to the Federal Public Housing Authority to operate it. as a housing project. That's the gimmick which is keep ing the 331 veterans and their fam flies from registering to vote.
 Duke Dunbar, deputy state at torney general, says the VA, un- like the FPHA, does not have limited jurisdiction over the land. It has exclusive jurisdiction. That makes it the same as an Army reservation, so the residents can't vote under the Colorado law.
 Local officials of the VA say they can't transfer title to the land to the FILA. They say the FILA blocked preliminary moves in that direction.
 c. L. Harrison, attorney for Ara pahoe county, in which Fort Logan lies, says the county commissioners will abide by the attorney generals ruling
 Delegations from the American Le- zion, Veterans of Foreign Wars, and other groups have appealed to Gov. Lee Knous to do something about it.
 Candidates for political offic e have suggested that the state su- preme court be asked for decla- ratory provision enabling the vet erans to vote.

Overdue Step
Fairbanks News -Miner)


 step that is long overdue and one that should be taken before another election rolls around is the establishment sufficient additional polling places to take care of the city's voters with less strain
 In the days when Fairbanks produced only few hundred votes it would have been sheer waste to have more than place to cast them, but that condition has not prevailed since the war put this city the map.
 The climax reached Tuesday when over 1900 votes cast This figure noticeaby higher than any previous election had produced but was not out of line with the gains recorded at each succeeding election in recent years.
 Those l500-odd votes kept the election board at work nearly three times around the clock-34 hours. Only slightly less time put in by the same aboard in counting the more difficult primary election ballots last spring splitting those times in half would leave board members with long enough shifts.
 The difference should also be felt in the casting of votes reducing waiting time in line for ballots and booths and probably bringing the polling place closer for those who live in the west end of town.
 Division of the city into two precincts reached the discussion stage before this election and should be acted upon before the next one.
