Because a relatively few may hold radical views, it does not follow that the unemployed, a whole are not law abiding, and willing and anxious to work if given a chance. mischievious to thousands of good men to suggest that so long as there is a relief system, there may be more or less indifference about going to work at all, even if it is available.

So far as Alaska is concerned at least, salary reduction could easily be carried a lot too far. Government salaries are not too high in Alaska. The cut already made has been rather hard on some of the employees. Living costs have not decreased in Alaska as extensively as they have in the States. Then employses who have a definite income, which they have believed to be permanent, have contracted to purchase homes and other things and have made investments in such a way.that theéir anticipated incomes are pledged to meet coming obligations. The near.y ten per cent. already made may be justified on the basis of decreased living costs and need for retrenchment, but there ought to be no further cutting, for some- time at least. Let us hope for an early recovery i from the depression and the coming of a time ¢ ] when the late salaries might be restored. 4 Certainly Alaska's best interests would not be prefer to call it.
