BAN KS WILL
AID FINANCES
OF TERRITORY
Institutions in Alaska, Sc.
allie Respond 10 Treas
urer Roden S Plan

Bankers in Alaska and Seattle
"all want to be helpful" accord
ing to Territorial Treasurer Henry
Roden, and are making commit
ments to prove it.
To meet the financial crisis. Ro-
den had proposed that banks loan
money to individuals and firms
with Territorial warrants as collat-
eral security. The Territory has
deficit of about million dollars
in the general fund
After conferences in Anchorage
this week, Treasurer Roden reports
that the Union Bank Of Anchor
age, the Bank of Fairbanks and
the Bank OF Seward have unre-
servedly agreed to cash 100000
in bonds each.
Naturally, though said Roden,
I'VE cannot throw them all ON the
market at once"
The Bank of Alaska has also
promised to participate. So have
many others in the Territory, in
GLIDING the Miners and Merchants
Bank of Nome and the Miners and
Merchants Bank, Ketchikan.
THE B. M. Behrends Bank in
Juneau also promised to do it's
share in relieving the financial sit
uation," Roden said today.
THE National Banks" he con-
tinued, "are handicapped in max
ing loans of this kind. To date.
they have not been able to give
definite answers as to the extent
of participation. but all expressed
willingness.
"At present." said the treasurer,
1--WE are busy working out the me-
chanics of the plan. They are not
simple. Moreover, each bank nat
urally wants TO take care of its To-
cal customers, but this cannot be
controlled"
Within the next few days, Roden
expects helpful suggestions from
George E. Cleveland and j. F..
Mullen, presidents of the First Ma
tional and B. M. Behrends Banks,
respectively. The other bankers in
the Territory agreed that these
two should act in an advisory cap
acity for all of them.
Meantime, the Treasurer is in
close touch with Seattle banks,
which also have agreed to help out.
while we feel confident" said
Roden, that the banks can be
paid by the middle or end of jan
uary, they will have to carry the
warrants without interest The
Board of Administrator has prom
Used to request the next Legisla-
ture for payment of a reasonable
interest.
THE great trouble commented
the Treasurer, lis that many people
believe the Territory is bankrupt.
1T is not. We have at least a
million dollars, but We cannot touch
it. This is In earmarked funds
to my notion, bad financial plan.
It is an old-fashioned system
which has not been followed else
where in the United States for so
years"
Along with its request for the
Legislature to authorize payment of
interest to the banks, the Board
is expected to recommend change
in the Territory's financial struc-
ture to eliminate earmarked funds.
AS a case in point, Roden men,
toned that $31 SAT was collected up
to July is from the new tobacco
tax, yet not penny of it can be
used for current expenses, as it was
earmarked exclusively for schools.
Some earmarked funds are so
small, according to Roden. that the
bookkeeping on them costs more
than their totals.

DevaIuation Is
Aiding Norway's
Silver Industry

Historic Norwegian mines which
since 1923 have associated the city
of Kongsberg with fine silver, may
obtain a new lease on life thanks
to devaluation of the krone.
During recent years the State
owned mines have been operating
at a deficit and there have been
strong arguments for closing them
altogether. Silver prices, which
until recently have held at $50 Kr.
per kg. have now risen on the
New York market to 172 Kr. and
the increase may be sufficient to
change deficit to profit for one
of the oldest of Norway's in
dustries. A recent report from
Kongsberg notes further, that a
new silver deposit has been located
there.
