ANCIENT ROME AND U. s. A.

In answer to speech made recently by D. E. Skinner vice-presdent and general manager of the Alaska Steamship Company concerning the necessity of raising freight in Southeast Alaska, Nell F. Moore Territorial Auditor lkens the present economic situation of the nation to the years preceding the fall of the Roman Empire
 Skinner in his talk pointed out the circumstances which make freight rate to Southeast Alaska unavoidable: Termination of the Interim Plan, by which steamship companies had chartered vessels rom the government at s100 per year. In 1948 when the plan ceased other companies turned their vessels back to the government-or suspended operations to Alaska entirely The Alaska Steamship Company kept it's ships but the cost jumped rom sl 0O per year to $100O00 year per ship; costly strike tied up shipping for three months ln l94o' cargo-handng costs have risen and freigher crew costs have increased approximately 76 per cent since 1947
 Skinner pointed out the cost of living index na- tionally which has jumped from 159 in 1947 to l83 today He cited the costs of the Territorial govern ment which has gone up 95 per cent since l94G ln- creased and climbing costs of every business, which any merchant wage earner professional man VIII readily admit.

Lizards in the Pipe

Furthermore" I argued. l con- fess a little desperately, look at New York City and all the trouble they had about water. We're not the only ones who have problems. Or take Los Angeles, Mayor BoWron out there is always making my daughter quit watering her lawn.
 Furthermore, say I, T would like to quote an issue of noted column-The Washington Merry go-round which recently said, A calamity worse than the atom bomb is being studied by scientists the increasing shortage of water in the United States
 You and Rita will just have to get ready for the ultimate future" 7" I concluded, and the fact that our pump broke down is just good prac- tice for the days that lie ahead
 However, it didn't do any good By this time I had a strong sus- picion where the argument was heading There has long been a difference of opinion inside the Pearson family about the relative merits of water from a spring and water from a well. Miss Hayworth as far as I could see, was not really perturbed about her bath. I imag- inc there were a good many days travelling through Africa with Prince Ali Khan that she never got a bath at all, and I gathered this was not the grounds for their impending divorce. So I had sort of an inkling of what was coming.
 Don't you think" said Mrs. P, changing to her most dulcet tones, that what we really need is a well all our oWn-a well that we don't have to share with your AT thirsty cows and the farm families After all. a well would be so much better than spring, with all those lizards always crawling into the pipe. I think you should call up well-digger and get started to- morrow. After all, you're always building some silo or other that doesn't do any good except stick up in the air and spoil the scen- cry"
 But how is Jackson Leighter go- ing to reduce if he doesn't help me fill the silo?" say l, referring tc my well-padded radio agent. who with Mrs. Leighter, has been tray

couldn't shave in the morning, and my COWS would get lower score than Carroll Morgan's.
 Maybe Rita could do without a bath" I suggested hopefully. I'll bet when she was kid back in Brooklyn she even argued Wltn her mother that she didn't want to bathe at all"
 "Yes, but what about your cows| reminded Mrs. P.
 Well, that's different l admit ted.
 And we can't flush the toilets. v
 But we can use the Byrd house, argued, referring to the Chic Sales job up near the dairy barn Anyway, your and my ancestors and even Rita's, never had any toilets to flush. Why should we be so snobbish?"

ess of the neople and sefishness plus incompetence of those elected to conduct governmental affairs"
 He cites the history of the Roman Empire, as told bv Max w Ball. president of Abasand Oils, Ltd, ln l9n:
 During the early days of the Roman Empire, the Roman citizen enjoyed economic political rights sm- | liar to o,,r beginnings he free to follow his own bent to earn his own living in any manner he saw fit and had a vote and voice in affairs ot tbe state Hard times came prices went up. To re- eve distress in the cities the government bought wbeat and sold it to the poor below market price. Many abandoned their farms and moved to the cites This enlarged the pressure groups who were demand ing lower and lower prices, until at East the price was removed . and sizeabe and increasing popu- lation lived the dole.
 This period continued about 400 years. inc ascending scale of relief threw business askew Those who lived on farms found themselves helplessly and hopeessly in debt. Buying power shrank there was
 surplus of goods and surplus of merchants To meet these evils laws and more passed, including the protoyes of almost all of the curative leglsa- ton with which we subject to now. There was credit aid, resettement projects, pubnc "orKs proJ- ects crop manufacturing restrictions prlce ana wage laws restrictions types and amounts of busi- ness person could do. Currency was deprecated to one fifth its value The government went more ana more into competition with it's citizens Pressure AiSSS0Se'iS " mass the famous 'Diocletan Law which fixed maxi mum selling price practically every article known to commerce. including labor and services Penalty for breaking the law was death to both buyer anl seller The result? No business personal initiative food riots plage and finally, surrender to the bar harlan who it was hoped would institute improve ments Thus died liberty which could not survive both freedom of enterprise and government mterfer ence through controls"
 Moore pointed out the foregoing as a parallel Inf o,r economy today, and added that if people do not hold on to their economic liberty they will lose their civil liberty. He cites the vicious circle of oovernment- imposed controls, and then government subsidies to aid industries of the spot these said controls forced them
 Moore ends his letter by asking the opinion in the states as to the right of the Federal government to impose taxes on the people of the Territory.
 "It was not the government that made this coun- trv worth living in," Moore writes, but the un- restricted personal initiative of the people At pres ent the Government is inclined to hold back the natural increase of and for higher standard of living through planned economy Man has tired repeatedly to improve his condition by substitution of edict for effort statute law for economic law All such efforts have failed"

No Bath For Rita

However, I could see the minute I got out of my car and greeted Mrs. P. that all was not well. Mrs. P. had that steely glint in her eye which I had not seen for a long, long time-in fact, not since the hogs got loose and made mince- meat out of her deck tennis court.
 "The water" said Mrs. P, lis off. Just how is Rita going to take a bath?"
 Have you called Leon Lowery?" I asked. referring to our neighbor who can fix anything from ny grandson's nursing bottle to the twine-knotter on a New Holland pickup haybailer.
 Leon is busy and won't come, replied the little woman.
 I'm sure if you told him that Rita Hayworth needed a bath he'd come in a minute" I suggested.
 Tt isn't only bath" reminded Mrs. F., who had been faced with the drought all day. How do we wash the dishes? And what do we drink?"
 Well, we could try gin" But the crack didn't go over at all big.
 Maybe your COWS would like gin, too? shot back Mrs. P, aim- ing at a weak spot. If you're not worried about baths for Rita and the Jackson Leighters and all the dirty dishes. at least I know you'll worry about your cows"
 This, I confess, made me think twice. Because when cows get nc water to drink, they give less milk and when they give less milk my score goes down, and I have beer aiming for milk score that woulc beat Carroll Morgan's, who taunts me with his high score every time we meet.
 Finally. got Leon Lowery on the telephone. He had ordered an ex- tra part for the pump month ago, but Jake Snyder Of Farmer. Supply had forgotten to order it So the pump couldn't get fixed that night, Rita couldn't get a bath the dishes couldn't get washed,

 However, I saw it was no use. Rita Hayworth is a charming gal and a swell sport. She didn't mind the water shortage at all.
 But she has done me great dis favor. Thanks to her, have been euchred into drilling a well.

difficult problem staring me stark in the face.
 Up until that point, things appar- ently had gone well. The farm hands had taken the presence ot visiting royalty and Hollywood glamor in their stride. The dairy mans children did not even ask Miss Hayworth for an autograph, nor did our conscientious colored helper, Harry Clipper. a plate-pass- ing deacon at the Seneca Baptist Church, ask for contribution. Mo- body was thrown by the horses, Harry Truman did not break down the fence as he usually does on the slightest excuse; while the dog wood, the tulips, and the iris put on a glamor show rivaling any thing in Hollywood

Newsprint Shortage May Force
Suspension Of Some Of Israel's
200 Publications

JERUSALEM, (JTA) - The
newsprint shortage in Israel is so
acute that the government does
not believe that it will be possible
to continue the publication of all
of the 200-odd publications, in
Guiding all of the II daily news
papers, Yaacov Geri, Minister of
rade and Industry, declared in
the Parliament.
In response to a query about
the newsprint situation, the Min
lister asserted the problem is two
fold: a severe worldwide short
age Of newsprint; and, 1srael's
foreign currency shortage which
forbids the allotment of addition
al sums for the purchase of news
print abroad.
