Moreover, the larger portion of the sale price of each package of 20 cigaretes or six cents goes ldirectly to the Government even before the cigar- |ettes leave the factory. This payment to the Fed- eral Treasury is divided up to help pay the many expenses of operating the government at Washing- jton.

When Roy Chapman Andrews, returning from! the fifth Central Asiatic Expedition of the American ! Museum of Natural History, declares that, if the| researches are stopped by disturbed political condi- tions, “it will be a scientific tragedy,” he has in mind discovery of Pliocene man, probably in the| Gobi Desert. During the Summer he brought to light in Pliocene strata the fossil of a shovel- tusked mastodon. Forty miles from the spot, in a bog estimated to be a million years old, lay the re- mains of forty fossils of the enormous beasts. Twenty-five of them had been full-grown bull mas- limited too largely for comfort. | The salmon canneries furnish most of the Terri- | tory's finances for governmental purposes.

The packers have already had notice from Commissioner O'Malley that the Government will close Bristol Bay to all fishing in 1933. Hun- dreds of thousands of dollars normally flowing ‘nto the treasury from that source will be shut off. It is true that the treasury on January 1, last had $550,000 in cash on hand, but this balance was less than that of a year previous. Expenditures were in excess of our revenues last year and have been for several years. It is plain that the times demand the utmost caution from our lawmakers and public officers in appropriations and expenditures. Only the strictest economy will make it possibl for the Territory to function in the next two bien- niums without a raise in taxes and that is not only not justified but it would be most unwise in view of existing industrial and economic conditions. U. S. KEEPS A WEATHER EYE ON THF CARIBBEAN. When Uncle Sam “takes a look at the weather” each morning his long-range weather eye surveys all lands touching the Caribbean Sea from Bar- bados, outpost of the West Indies, to the Isthmus of Panama and to the southward from Miami to Buenos Aires. He speaks of the weather with equal authority to the transcontinental air pilot, the sea captain, and the land lubber of storm-swept regions. | Weather information comes to Uncle Sam at San Juan, PR., mostly by an exchange of weather re- | ports gathered at 600 stations. Thirty-six Govern-i ments of the West Indies, Mexico, Central America, and the South American States from Colombia to Dutch Guiana cooperate in this exchange. Dr. O. L. Fassig, recently appointed Chief of the Climat- ological Division of the United States Weather Bu- reau, spent 12 years developing this West Indian system. He saw the weather service there expand | from a group of 60 stations in 1919 to a network of 600 stations in 1930.

His “talkie” which was shown on Monday in this country is in the same vein.

Pacifist sentiment, war- like preparation, is the common stock in trade of | politicians of every nation. We must not blame Mussolini unduly for following a fashion which others have set.

Increased use of ad- vertising space to sell more cigarettes during 1931 will not only keep hundreds of thousands now engaged in the industry at work but will mean employment for many who may now be temporarily out of a job. After the Government receives its six cents in taxes from the ordinary fifteen-cent package of cigarettes the remainder is split by the retailer, wholesaler, manufacturer, farmer and the literally hundreds of thousands of workers who con- tribute to the manufacture, distribution and sale of the increasingly popular short smoke. During 1930 cigarette production in the United States increased more than half a billion. The increasing popularity of the cigarette is attributed by authorities to the removal of harmful irritants by the toasting process including the use of ultra violet rays.
