ASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER ALASKA AN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. ICKES TALKS “BU Secretary Ickes, whose job as Administrator of the Public Works Relief temporarily, at least, over- shadows in immediate importance that of Secretary of Interior, has made it known in no unmistakable terms that so far as his power goes, the Govern- ment is going to get 100 cents worth for every dollar it expends on projects under his authority. The work will go to those “able to do the best job for the least money in an honest way,” he recently asserted in warning those looking for Gov- ernment contracts on the new public works not to throw away their money needlessly hiring persons to go to the National Capital to get in on the inside. After his brush with the cement makers of the country over supplies of that material for Boulder Dam, his sincerity ought to be well-estab- lished. He means exactly what he said. It is just as well he is on the job in Washing- ton and knows a good deal about such things. Accompanying each change in the National Admin- istration, that city is the mecca for thousands of “friends” of the new party in power. Many of these seek to turn that “friendship” into the source of a comfortable income. Some of them proceed along legitimate lines, but a great many are merely deluding gullible business men and rendering nothing that can be classed as service. On account of the great majority of President Roosevelt last November, and the diverse character of his support, the field is more largely over-run with these “professional representatives,” lobbyists, or what have you, than is ordinarily the case. Naturally many are seeking to commercialize what they term their influence. York World-Telegram in a syndicated column, de- scribes them as unworthy of respect, and said: The specific Republican attacks on the “New Deal” do not command much respect. If it costs a lot, what about the staggering cost of the depression to the United States since 1929? Republican relief measures were costly also. Consider the Reconstruction Finance Corporation under Republican dom- ionion. It futilely gave away billions to the big boys of the predatory stripe who had put us into the mess. And Republican fascism would certainly be far more bureau- cratic than the Roosevelt Administration will ever become. It is certainly tough for Republicans to have to sit by and see the country im- prove with a little dose of sense, decency, realism and justice. But it is richly deserved torture for them. The Republicans had their chance and failed miserably through stupid- ity and stupor. Had they capitalized on their oppor- tunities and put the country decidedly on the upward swing by the end of 1931—as they easily could have done—no power on earth could have stopped Mr. Hoover, and the Republican Party would have been safe- ly installed in power for a generation. Now they will be wise to make the best of it and get it through their heads that by mak- ing faces at Roosevelt they are only biting off their own noses. A Slight Cold. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) The slight cold which caused President Roose- velt to take a day off “by remaining in the White House to transact business” must have made many a man reflect on the vigor of our Chief Executive. There are few of us who could go through one day of a President’s routine without wishing for an ex- tended vacation. But not since T. R. have we had any occupant of the White House whose pace was so exhausting to those who would keep up with him. Yet, there was a time when the political whisper- ing campaign would have had us believe we were to have an invalid in office, if, indeed, “poor Frank Roosevelt ever survives the itinerary of speaking which he and his misguided advisers have forced upon him.” There were those whose memory went back to Oliver P. Morton, who was denied the Presidency because he was crippled. A great part of the drum-fire of the campaign was directed at the sturdy Vice-President because it was asserted, and even believed, Mr. Roosevelt would fall by the wayside. Tales, true enough, of the period when Mr. Wilson lay incapacitated for several weeks, were dressed up, and we were called upon to be alarmed. Looking back as it, the campaign of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, record-breaking though it was since the days of William Jennings.Bryan, seems but a warming up exercise. The zest with which the President sets the pace; his obvious enjoymen. of the whole day; the machine-gun-like stream of minor deeds; and the force which propels his heavier barrages and assaults are both a common- place and a source of new wonder to the pressmen of his entourage. Not in years has the job of keeping up with the President been such a test of alertness and hardihood. He is as enduring and frictionless as radium. Such an invalid have we in the White House. Up to the Employer. (St. Louis Post-Dispatch.) Secretary Ickes's blunt words will no doubt wound the sensitive feelings of some of these. They were timely, however, and the country will applaud him for his stand. His words are enough to show the country that President Roosevelt does not intend to be used by self-seekers, and that those who seek to do Government work or sell supplies and materials to it will be tested on merit alone. Secretary Ickes is responsible for the spending of some $3,300,000000. It will be spread out all over the country. It will be a gigantic task for him to keep the hands of the “influence” peddlers out of that purse. That he will succeed as well in all cases as in the dispute with the “cement trust” is the fervent hope of all Americans. TO STUDY COMMODITY MONEY. Two new experts have been added to the already notable list put to work in the nation's interests by President Roosevelt. These latest additions— Dr. James Harvey Rogers, of Yale University, and Prof. George Warren, of Cornell University—have been asked to study the possibilities of a managed currency. Both have announced they will serve without compensation. They form an excellent team for the purpose. Both are leaders in the economics of money, and both are level-headed men who recognize the social realities as well as the economic theories. They are much closer to the hard facts of business, if any- thing, than the majority of the other members of that famous organization of Ph.D.'s who have been enlisted by the President as special technical ad- visers. Dr. Rogers has been the leading student of the process of inflation for many years. His studies of German, and particularly of French, infla- tion in 1925 and 1927, respectively, have given him a vivid knowledge of the danger of paper money schemes. He has avoided academic reasoning and kept close to the facts of the New York money market. That the Administration has not taken a pair of mere enthusiasts for commodity money is per- fectly clear. Both Dr. Rogers and Prof. Warren have consistently supported the gold standard as the most workable monetary basis. Their new task is to canvass the whole problem of managed cur- rencies and seek to find out whether the facts today justify an attempt to set up a commodity dollar independent of gold. Their report is likely to have a great influence on the eventual action of the Government. ‘While grave objections have been voiced to a managed currency, it is pleasing to note that the new members of the President’s technical advisory staff delegated to study this vital question are realistic in their approach and conservative in their point of view. 'G. 0. P. ATTACKS ON NEW DEAL ARE “DUDS.” ‘The efforts of some of the Republican leaders to make political capital out of the President’s emergency program have not aroused much enthus- jasm anywhere in the country. Newspaper comment is largely adversely critical to them, and in some quarters the prime movers are being flayed as obstructionists- Dr, Harry Elmer Barnes, writing in the New There is a degree to which the interests of labor and of capital are identical. The employer can have no hope of profit unless labor is employed, as labor can have no hope of employment unless the employer has an ultimate expectation of profit. The initiative in such a revival as the United States has undertaken must be taken by the em- ployers. The people cannot put themselves back to work. They cannot restore the wage cuts they have taken during the depression. The test of the whole matter becomes one of faith in the cause itself. We can, if we will, restore American prosperity. We cannot do it if the people | who control industry and business are going to wait until they can make money before they put people to work and increase wages. If they wait for that time to come, they will not make money, there will be no prosperity and the country will slip back into that Slough of Despond from which we are now emerging. The warnings of the President and General John- son should not go unheeded. manders of the greatest of all peace-time armies in an offensive against rot and decay. Gold. (New York World-Telegram.) Once—and not very long ago—this nation seethed with booms. They ranged all the way from fantastic “additions” in small, stunted towns to such major oil booms as those at Goose Creek and Spindletop. People were willing to take a “flyer,” and burnt fingers, curing, hankered for yet one more chance at the easy coin. The depression not only killed off booms but put a damper on the prospecting spirit, so that the story of Copper Gulch comes like a drink of cool water to those who yet dream of sudden opulence. The story is of an old Negro prospector, with the symbolic name Hoard, who for forty-seven years has raked the rugged sides of the Rockies about Canon City, Col, for a bare living for his family. Not long ago, at the age of 61, he got up and set out for Westville hunting a grubstake to carry on again. When he turned aside for a short cut he got lost. He found himself in an unfamiliar valley, full of exhilarating Colorado springtime but of little else. As he trudged along his experienced eye was caught by surface formation which caused him to stop and dig the bonanza for which he had been looking all his life but never found. Fascinated, he worked three days on a short day's rations until, hunger- driven, he started home, where he arrived exhausted. But his gold samples assayed $80 a ton. Where this old Negro dug a boom town, Copper Guich, has sprung up, seething with native pros- pectors and the fabled tenderfeet from the East. Reading of this gives the feeling of adventurous sensations coming out of the reviving economic soil of the nation. “We're in for a five years' drunk!" yells Pussy- foot Johnson, as he throws up the Prohibition sponge.

He looked lils3 a man who played outdoor games, and lived a healthy lite. “It's extraordinary how ' these places .ill up,” he sald. “Half of the plctures are utter rubbish, and yet people flock to see them.” “Don’t you like the plctures?” Georgle asked. He half shrugged his shoulders. “Not very much, but I came in be- cause I've got some time to walit for a friend.” Georgle laughed. “How funny! That's why [ came.” They looked at one another with interested eyes. “I've just come back from America,” Georgle volunteered. “Really? What's ft there?” “Oh, I suppose it's alright. I think the ship was the best part of it, go- Ing out and coming home.” “Do you live in London?” “No, in the country. Where do you live?” “I've got rooms in town.” “Sometimes I wish I had"” Georgie sighed, then she suddenly recollected that she was giving her confidence to a complete stranger and she pulled herself up to say deprecatingly, *I don't know why I'm telling you all this.” “All what?” ke asked fm amuse ment. “You haven't told me any- thing except that you live in the country.” He shifted his position a little, looking at her more squarely. “I'm a friendly sort of person,” he said, “and I don't see the slightest harm in talking to someone if you like the look of them, whether you've been introduced or not. It's such rubbish, all this convention- ality.” She nodded. “Yes, I think so too.” “My name's Asher,” this rather astounding young man went on. “Clifford Asher, and I'm in a sollct tor's office. Are you a business girl?” “Oh, no.” “I thought mot,” he sald. “Well, aren’t you going to tell me your name?” “Oh, yes, it you like. It's Georgle Bancroft, and I'm only just up in London for the afternoon to see a friend.” “I see. Well, I suppose there's no reason why we should not talk?” “Aren’t we talking?” Georgle asked. He laughed at that. “I suppose 80, but I mean there's no reason why we shouldn’t go on talking.” “No.” The lights wen down again and Georgle felt a little thankful. She had never met a man like this before, and he rather took her breath away even while she real- 1zed that his friendliness was just $he sort of thing that appealed to Mer, and that he had tackled her in Just the same manner in which she had first approached Nicholas Boyd. like out 'ELL, why not?” she asked her- selt. “There's no harm in it; we shall never see each other again.” But when the pictures were over (Clifford Asher asked her to have tea with him, | Georgle shook her head. “I'm going to have tea with my friend at six o'clock.” | “Well, can't you manage two teas?” he asked.

He laughed. *You're a queer Iit- ¥ tle girl,” he told her. “Don’t yow come t7 London much?” “Hardly ever." “Why not?” She shook her head. “I don’t know; it just never occurs to me. I live in the country, and I don’t know anyone in London.” “You know me now.” “You!” She looked at him with grave eyes. “I don’t suppose I shall ever see you again,” she sald. i “It you don't, it will be your fault,” he answered. He ordered tea and cakes; lovely cakes with icing and chocolate. Georgle's eyes sparkled. “I mustn’t eat too much,” she sald, “Or I shan't want anything when I meet Nelly.” “Nelly! You're not meeting a pian then?” “0t course not.” “Why ‘ot course not'? Don’t you like men?” Georgle considered the question. “I hardly know any,” she admitted after a moment. “There's my uncle, and . .."” she broke off; it was not the time to speak of Nicholas Boyd. “I hardly know any,” she said again. “Then you're not like the modern girl,” he said. “I'm not modern,” Georgle an- swered. “I've never had the chance to be “You mean your people won't let you?" “I haven't any people except an uncle; at least, yes, I've got a mother and a step-father but they're in America, and I hardly ever see them.” “What a shame.” She looked at him. “Oh, I don’t know,” she sald, “I'm quite happy: at least 1 was, till—" she broke oft and he added for her “Till you went to America you were going to say. | know what you mean.

The man opposite looked at her steadily for a moment, then he said, “You're lonely, that's what's the matter, {s'nt {t?" “I don’t know.” “Yes, you do,” he assured her cheerily. “Look here, why not let me take 'ou out sometimes? Do you ke theatres? I'd like to take you if your people wouldn’t mind.” {“There’s only my uncle, and ! meedn’t tell him,” Georgle added guiltily. “Well then why not? I've got ear.

I'm never afrald ot anything, but, well, I don't know you.” “You never will, unless you let me see yon again.” He thrust a hand into his breast pocket. “I'l give sou my card. That ought to be some sort of a guarantee, and it you'll give me yours . ..” « “I haven't got one.” “Well, teli me your address, and I'll write it down.” Georgie told him.

Georg'e nodded. “And now I must really go,” she said regrettully, “I can’t kee Nelly waiting.” He called for the bill and they left the shop together, “You'il let me see you to wherever you're going,” he asked, but Georgie said no, she would go alone. She rather dreaded the look which she knew would come into Nelly's eyes if sho saw her with this man, and she did not teel equal to the task of a plausible explanation.
