POLITICS

FOLll lCS
Politics is warming up in Columbus
County with lot of hats already
getting battered around in the ring.
1t appears that about all the vacant
offices are going to have candidates
competing against one another and
some appear to be lining up for a
real slam-bang battle.
1t has always been our belief that
public offices should be sought after
by several persons during every cleo
ton. The voting public needs to have
cholce when 1t casts vote. 1t needs
to have choice between individuals
and the one that is best qualified.
with the best character, energy,
ability and desire should get the ma
Jority vote.
You hear lot of talk of political
machines. There should be no such
thing. Presumably machine is a
group OF people who control the votes
Oh many other people, people who
Will vote for candidate because
some one told him to. We presume
these people follow a machine like
horses after pony, like sheep herded
along by dog. Folks who cast their
ballots only because they are coerced
or are told to vote for some specific
individual, shouldn't even be allowed
to vote. Real democracy results only
when the individual studies the candi-
dates and then sincerely casts his bal.
lot Tor the one whom he believes can
I'LL the post the best. All other types
OF voting defeats the principles of
democratic government.

G. GARLAND SAYS:
Who Can Have A
Retirement Plan Through
Life Insurance?

L. Anyone who can a small amount Of
their current earnings each month or year.
2. Many people have the idea that Retirement
Plan is only designed for the man with a
large income.
3 You may be surprised to know how much
$500 week savings would give you at re-
tirement age, in addition to your Social
Security. (Male, age 3d. earning $4,000 per
week, would get approximately $11500 per
month at age SIS, including Social Security
L. How many people have you known to reach
retirement age with certain amount of cash
and were afraid TO spend it because they were
afraid they would outlive the amount of
money that they had?
5. Retirement Plan guarantees a specified
monthly income beginning at age SO to 70 for
life in an income you not outlive

GEORGE WASHINGTON

The thing most often said Of George Washington
when his birthday is observed, is that he warned his
countrymen against letting their government involve
them in foreign entangl enents
Judging from the record of national eXper-
sience his countrymen have been more inclined to
talk about his advice than to take it.
Within the present century have been in two
great wars consequence Of getting mixed up in the
the affairs Of either countries.
From what we have read and learned about
George Washington we don't think he would have
kept native Americans from every state Of the Union
begging year after year for the full rights Of citizen
ship through statehood as has been the case Of Alaska
For many years there was a large and noisy ele-
ment in America that said George Washington had
been dead long time and that his ideas had been
dead just as long
the things he advised against make his ideas look
better and better all the time
This being the time for annual observance
of his birthday could spend it very proftably by
reflection upon how wise he was rather than upon
how long he has been dead
George Washington could not have talked with
better sense about the problems have today if he
were living today.
He said that if Americans mixed into the
troubles of other nations they would have those
troubles their hands-and if that does not
describe the fix in right now will have
to wait until better description along than
anybody living is capable of making ssE
George Washington was right, and America would
be better off today and free of the fear of
if our people had given something substantial
than lip service to the honor in which his is held

Hearings on Water
Freight Rates
Increase Near End

SEATTLE Up - A Fe eral
Maritime Board hearing on water
borne freight rates to and from
Alaska neared an end today but
decision on requested Is per
cent increase may be weeks away.
Board Examiner, Arnold Roth,
who has been hearing testimony
since Feb. IL, will give opposing
sides an opportunity to file briefs
before he makes an initial de-
cision.
Alaska Steamship Co., Coast
wise Line and Alaska Freight
Lines, which were granted an
emergency 712 per cent rate in
crease effective Jan. 80, have pre-
sented procession of witnesses
and exhibits in support Of the
request for Is per cent.
The Territory Of Alaska, sew
eral government agencies and
shipping interests sought to show
the Is per cent was not war
ranted
The General Services Admins
tration, which does much bust
ness in Alaska, was represented
as generally opposed to the re-
quested increase.
Much testimony and cross ex-
animation centered on prospects
for future freight tonnage to the
territory. Long discussions ensued
over Interpretation Of statistics.
An Alaska Steam attorney con-
tended at the opening of the
hearing last week that even a Is
per cent increase actually was in
sufficient to provide fair re-
turn on capital outlay

Alaska. But they still feel, from
personal experience, that nothing
can take the place of zone car
rier service" from the states to
Nome.
Delegate Bob Bartlett, in a mes
sage to the president Of the NWA
Chamber of Commerce said that
he would carry Nome's message
to the CAB and see what help
could be given in this important
issue.
Ed Swofford said this morning
that his company was "sentimen-
tai about the Alaska routes, hav-
ing pioneered air transportation
in this area"
He said as much as PAA dis
liked asking to discontinue the
Nome flight they felt it was
necessary since they have been
off subsidy since October, 1856.
He explained that it is necessary
to have a load factor of SIS per
cent to break even and last year
the load factor to Nome averaged
only 35.5 per cent.
He also said if PAA's request
for suspension is not granted his
company will of necessity ask
for a federal subsidy to maintain
the route
Swofford concluded: "Our
plans with Wien Airlines should
give just as good service as you
have been getting, and it will be
more frequent too"
