For several years, notab from about 1921 to stem of cooperati mining investigation and advisory service to small compnaies and indi- | viduals of small means as well as to prospectors was built up by the National Government and Alaska. Both the Federal Government and the Territory supplied funds for the work and the former furnish- ed trained personnel to carry on the work. Be-| ginning about 1929, or shortly thereafter, Federal interest in the system lagged, funds were pruned and last July Federal contributions ceased entirely} end the Federal employees given an indefinite furlough without pay. The Alaska-Territorial Chamber of Commerce seeks 10 have the system restored by the Federal Government through the Bureau of Mines under which it was originally initiated. Territorial funds were made available for continuing the work by the Legislature last Spring. The work that is being done now by B. D. Stewart, for several years Federal Mining Supervisor for Alaska, is financed almost entirely by it. Under Mr. Stewart, the system proved it was practicable, efficient and one that rendered services| of true value to the mining industry of the north| and to the Federal Government. With interest now in the possibilities of gold mining in Alaska at the highest point known for many years, probablyi higher than at any time except during the eras of bonanza placer camps such as Nome and Fairbanks, the need for such agency is greater than in more normal periods. It would be a clearing house for information about existing mines, discoveries, that would bear wise exploratory expenditures, and curb fake promotions that are sure to crop up to seriously impede development of bona fide prop- erties. It would aid the prospector in determining where to search for new deposits and how to determine the extent and value of anything he might discover. In these and other ways, it would aid in the greater development and settlement of Alaska. Both Nation and the Territory have a stake here. The former, owning most of the land and resources, must aid in bringing about development if Alaska is to become self-sustaining. The Terri- tory’s interest lies in bringing a larger measure of prosperity to its residents and in adding to the number of its residents. Development of the mining industry will accomplish both the ends desired. It is proper, therefore, that both Nation and Territory share the expense of the suggested agency of pro- motion and encouragement This is what the Alaska Territorial Chamber of Commerce has asked. The local Chamber’s support was properly forthcoming without delay and whole- heartedly. an PROCESSING TAX WOULD INJURE LUMBER INDUSTRY. The proposed processing tax of $240 per case on canned salmon, which threatens the very exist- ence of the salmon packing industry of the Terri- tory, would also play havoc with the lumber industry here. That industry was the first to line up under the NRA lumber code for the nation. Its units in Alaska comply with the code faithfully. They did this despite the fact that they have passed through three of serious business stagnation and financial stress. ROBERT W.

Adventurous Age Passing. (New York World-Telegram.) On December 7, in all probability, the Prohibi- tion Amendment will be junked, and with it will pass a great age of adventure. The frontier ha been conquered; the war was over; youth was searching for some new wilderness to trample when Prohibition came on the scene. Prohibition saved him from an uneventful man- hood. There was always so much for a study hero to do. There were new concoctions to try, cocktail parties that must be braved, home brew to bottle, speakeasies to be explored, safe methods of hiding gin to devise. Who will not look back December 7 with rather a melancholy eye on those tense moments when he took the first sip of a dear friend’s punch? Those mornings, that tried a heart of steel, when he slowly opened his eyes to see whether there were still a sun in the sky?

Valorous days! But in the last ew months this spirit of a adventure has been low. The flame has burned dim. Everything has been tried; every form of headache has been experienced; every sacrifice has been made. What now remains for an adventurous young man to do? Alas, there will always be other blund- ers of his elders to challenge him. The New Order. (The Topeka Capital.) The NRA is a start in reform of the capitalistic order. Its initial mistakes can be corrected by trial and error. ' It will discover better methods of regulation as it proceeds. Already it has abolished child labor. It has tackled the evil of sweating labor. It has made a beginning in its effort to outlaw cutthroat competition, while preserving com- petition within reason for protection of the consum- ing public. While suspending at least some of the provisions of anti-trust laws, its aims include the purpose of such laws, the prevention of monopoly. Their business is largely based upon the salmon canning industry. They 1 box shooks, logs and frames for traps, lumber for warehouses and cannery buildings. Without the cannery trade as a backlog, the large modern mills of Ketchikan and Juneau would be idle most of the year, and logging crews in the woods reduced in number to almost the vanishing point. That would mean more unemploy- ment, more want, and decreasing population. We cannot believe the Agricultural Adjustment Administration will knowingly take any step that is fraught with such tragedy for Alaska. It has pro- posed a tax which unquestionably it thought justi- fied and equitable under the conditions prevailing in the industry it is seeking to lift out of the doldrums. It is Alaska’s duty to state its own case forcibly and clearly, with proof that it is not exaggerating. We are confident if it does that, it need have no fear of the tax being levied. AN EFFECTIVE FORM OF RELIEF. The opening of the season for trapping beaver in Southeast Alaska, even on a limited scale, as announced by the Alaska Game Commission, is most timely. The action, it was revealed, was recom- mended by the Commission and approved by the Secretary of Agriculture as a further means of re- lieving local unemployment, Cognizant of conditions here, particularly during the winter months when industry is at its lowest peak, and realizing that All of these things pertain to normal industrial- ism, not particularly to emergency situations. There is no certainty that the NRA has facilitated busi- ness recovery, and in some ways it may have im- peded and slowed up a recovery that was coming through natural forces, but recovery merely to all the evils, abuses and suffering of the “old order” is not what the country hopes for. Economic plan- ning for the long term rather than for a critical occasion is desirable, probably even. necessary if capitalism is to be the ruling system. The American people do not desire to “get back,” but to get forward to something better. The NRA is chiefly significant as an effort in this direction. If the great stars of filmdom suffer serious cuts in their pay they will not be able to afford so many divorces, and may even have to worry along with second-rate publicity agents.—(Chicago News.) Rude the pay level of Federal intervention is expected to bring of some young movie stars down to the railroad Presidents—(New York Sun.) If it is our intention to recognize Russia, we had better do it before Japan makes it more difficult.—(Philadelphia Inquirer.) If there isn't enough liquor to go around when repeal comes, the available supply can be “cut” to suit the demand, it is announced. So we may even see some 3.2 whiskey.—(Boston Transcript.) men can at least earn their living if permitted to take the fur-bearers that are indigenous to the country, the Commission acted wisely in modifying the regulations issued almost 12 months ago which omitted the open season on beaver in this section of the Territory. 3 .
