The results, announced by the Hyder Herald, were about in the same ratio of Dry, Moist as |zet his share of bank deposits without owing any s now, the movement might have been till more retarded, and the reader may at- tempt to picture what would have been the effects of trying by legislation to keep 75 per cent. of the population on the farms! The truth is that even today there are too many people on the farms for their own good or for a well-balanced economic situa- tion. If 25 per cent. or more of those were transferred to other industries, and the remainihg farms were all equipped with the machinery and methods used by the best 25 per cent, the market for farm products and the market for other products would both be better than they are today. In short, the industrial system is not in equilibrium, the supply of crude products | being in excess of the supply of finished products, with the result that the producers the former are too poorly paid to take their proper share of the latter. of Ford interests deny they are buying bank stocks anywhere.

Delegate Sutherland is not in sympathy with the views of those Alaskans who are objecting to the proposal to invest game wardens with author- ity to search and Seize without warrant. He has made his position clear in a letter to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce in which he says, in effect that amending the Alaska game law in the manner suggested, would not impose any greater restrictions upon Alaskans than those long ago adopted by many of the States for the protection of wild life. “Inspection of these State laws’ he argues, “war- rants one in assuming that a proper enforcement of our laws relating to furs and fur animals requires enactments similar to those of the several States, . The proposed law for Alaska does not go so far as any of the State laws quoted, but would, I believe, require a warrant for the search of any buildings such as are enumerated by the State ficer or employee empowered to enforce this act shall have authority without warrant to search any and Wet as the latest returns from the national| poll There was a total of 171 votes cast in the H\'(l(’r& straw vote. Twenty-seven voters favored strict en-| forcement; 58 were for modifications to permit the sale of light wines and beer; and 87 favored| the outright repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment.| Thus modificationists outnumbered those for en- forcement by two to one. Repealists were three to one stronger than the Drys, and had a majority of two over enforcement and modification com- bined. i Hyder is a typical Alaska mining town. Its sen- | timent, as reflected by the poll of the enterprising business man, is probably little if any different from that of any other Alaska community CATCH LAR(,ER.‘ NORWAY’S HERRI} The 1930 herring season of Norway, which was practically ended by the first part of April, was the most successful on record. The catch was larger than that of 1928 by 4038949 bushels. This despite the fact that several years ago alarmists predicted gloomily that the herring were badly depleted by the operations of reduction plants. An official in- vestigation made at that time denied that such was the case, and on its showing, the Government re- fused to impose any regulations on the use ol herring for that purpose. It is signficant that reduction plants this )ear handled over 50 per cent. of the total catch—5,- 500,419 bushels being utilized by them in producing herring oil and meal. Other methods of market- ing reported as follows: frozen herring, 2,726,492 bushels; tories, 218,163 bushels. INDUSTRIAL SYSTEM UNBALANCED. The day of the small village, like that of the Little Red Schoolhouse of yesteryear, is almost ended, is the conclusion drawn by many authorities from the census figures now being assembled. Taken as a whole, the small towns during the past ten) years have declined in population at a marked r:n.e and the cities have gained at their expense. Some of the sentimentally inclined have expressed regret that this should occur, while others have pointed out that it is the natural concomitant of the revo- luticnary industrial developments taking place for the past decade or more, The National City Bank, New York, in a well- considered letter, recently pointed out why farm and small town population has dwindled, and why its further recession, if properly directed into industrial channels, will be of benefit to the country. In part, the bank said: The over-production of the world today is in crude products. Apparently productive capacity is engaged too largely upon these and insufficiently upon the production of the finished goods ready for consumption. It cannot be said that the people have all the goods of the latter class they want. The development of installment buying is a con- vincing demonstration that many persons have wants unsatisfied, and is it not a matter of common knowledge that this is uniformly the case. Would there be any slack season in the house-building or home furnishing industries if every family could have what it wanted in these lines? It will be said, of course, that slack trade is due to inability on the part of would-be consun to buy, but since our wants by a combined system of of the purchasing power in their own powers of prod e latter should set the only ion upon consumption. In other never would be any unemplc the industries were in proper to each other and trade was f1 prope The d percentage of population on the farms and the growth of the other industries in the last one hundred years il- Justrates the economi aw of the dis bution of population to conform with in- dustrial prog As production sper worker on the fa s increased. the invention of machinery and otherwi he proportion of the whole pup\nlmn required on the farms was lessened i the prices of farm products tended to fall inducing the surplus workers to seek 0 and affording the labor for the expansion of other industries. The movement never has been rapid enough to maintain the indus- tries which it is now solemnly declared to be one of the duties of the Government to maintain.

The Maine, New York land California laws specifically exempt dwelling houses from search without warrant, which the pro- posed Alaska amendment does not do; the Wash- |ington, Oregon, Pennsylvania and West Virginia laws, according to the Delegate, extend the right of warrantless search to persons, but he is sure; Alaskans could not be searched under the proposed Alaska amendment. It is stated plainly enough, however, that their packs could be taken from them, ‘v\luch it virtually the same as searching their per- isons, and it might provc very difficult for Alaska trapper, under the terms of the pending| i measure, to convince a game warden that his cabin| in the woods is his dwelling and not a camp. | There are a great many Alaskans who will not| {agree with the Delegate in the stand he has taken, who believe the Territory already is overburdened |3® T t e an | |with restrictions and that any additions will tend |sold (i' help pay for a landscaping|ge rojec [to increase rather than lessen violations of the game P! laws. Game wardens do not need more authority | |than is already possessed by them; a more ef- |fective way to handle the situation would be to provide funds for the employment of an admnonal number of wardens.

The intention is clearly to win an election, not to curb power. That the latter, in some of its manifestations, ought to be curbed, is conceded Regulation, both by Federal and State Govern- |ments, ought to be tightened. The financial methods of some of the utility corporations ought to be sharply looked into. Decisions of Judges affecting valuation for rate-making purposes, and the per- centage of return to be allowed on legitimate in- vestment, ought to be clarified, possibly revised, in' some s perhaps reversed. All this necessary work is being undertaken advisedly by many cnmpetev‘l | |students and lawmakers and governmental executives ! lin various parts of the country. It ought to bc\ |pressed to conclusions more satisfactory than those | |already reached by Public Service Commissions and by the Courts. But nothing like that is in the mind| of Senator Wheeler and those who, like him, are |casting about for some phrase, some taking epithet. some misleading label by which they hope to win votes and office.
