ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION POLITICAL DAYS APPROACH. reventually, to solve. —_— j earthquakes, The near ending of July and the approach of the dog days of August signalize again the coming of political days. Party primaries and party conven- tions, at which the candidates who will oppose each other on the hustings next Fall will be selected, and campaign orators will invade the cities and hamlets to debate the New Deal, bureaucracy and other subjects that they assume will bring votes to them- selves and their cause. Thirteen States have primary elections in August, beginning with Tennessee on August 2, and con- tinuing with Kentucky August 4, Kansas, Missouri, Virginia and West Virginia three days later, Arkansas, Nebraska and Ohio on August 14, Wyom- ing August 21, Mississippi, California and South Carolina on August 28. Nevada holds hers on Sep- tember 4, between September 8 and 15, Maryland; Arizona, Colorado, Louisiana, Michigan, Vermont, New Hampshire and Washington on September 11;|Ocean show similarities to changes of temperature and on September 18, Wisconsin, Massachusetts and New York. The time for primaries is not fixed by law in Georgia. Idaho will have a State nominat- ing convention on August 28 and conventions are to be held on dates not fixed by law in Connecticut, Delaware, New Mexico, Rhode Island and Utah. Thirty-five States elect Senators next Fall, and the entire membership of the House of Represen- tatives comes up for election. Naturally as the summer wanes and fall days approach, there will be more and more of politics in the daily press. And since most men and women are nected with that subject, and ought.to be deeply interested in it, it is the mission of newspapers to| purvey to them all of the essential facts about the campaigns and the candidates. Alaska's own campaign, though slow in taking temperature, the sensible and intelligent thing to form, is nevertheless beginning to gather momentum. Party organizations are stirring themselves. Divi- slonal conventions have been held by the Democrats which drew out more than the usual number of delegates. The primary vote last April indicated that the Democratic vote would be much heavier this year than the Republican. More recent indica- tlons, such as attendance at political club meetings merely served to confirm the primary forecast. ‘The Democratic Par® in Alaska has come out squarely with a strong endorsement in its platform of the New Deal, the President’s program for recovery, and of approval of the program of Delegate Dimond and of the administration of Gov. Troy. The Republicans, though adopting a platform for the First Division, remained silent as to President Roosevelt’s program and that of Delegate Dimond. It attacked the Democratic Legislature of 1933 and some of the acts of the Territorial Democratic ad- ministration. These subjects undoubtedly will be developed by the candidates later. Democratic strategists will, of course, make use of the benefits accruing to Alaska under Mr. Roosevelt's dynamic leadership. ‘These have been so numerous and outstanding that the G. O. P. campaign directors cannot dispute them and their only recourse is to undertake to attempt to capitalize minor local questions. NOT GOVERNOR BUT RAIL EXECUTIVE. It has been called to our attention that John E. Ballaine, founder of Seward, Bull Mooser and Progressive whe is now reported to be a candidate for Republican nomination for Congress from the First Washington State District, was an aspirant last year when the Democrats went into power for the position as General Manager of the Alaska Rallroad instead of Governor of Alaska. Since the former job is the more remunerative of the two, Mr. Ballaine probably aimed for it. That his aim was faulty and failed of its mark probably is one of the chief reasons for his return to the G. O. P. fold. PLANNING AND THE CALENDAR. ‘The increasing demands of business concerns have Jed various governments to study more seriously the sundry plans for calendar reform. This tendency 48 accentuated by the difficulties caused by our present calendar in the statistical operation of business and public planning. It is not unlikely that when the calendar is changed, it will be as the The present calendar has one very great merit. That is the fact that it has been in use for some _centuries and is the basis for all existing records, save for those business firms that have adopted a 13-month calendar. But against this argument there are numerous objections. When the year is ‘divided into halves and quarters, these are not of q length. The months begin on different days, /nlmmnmlncmmbulotwamays The result is that statistical comparisons are extremely iy |that in the last analysis it all hihges upon the (varying degrees of solar radiation. IClayLon's long and ‘be a boon to the world in many respects, the con- | intimately con.lcxusxon to be drawn is that we will continue to 12-month ecalendar. The most generally discussed of these would provide four months of 31 days each and eight months of 30 days each. The four quarters and two semesters would be equal in number of days. Each quarter would begin on a Sunday and end on a Saturday, and every month end of, the year, outside the months. The manifest advantages of such a calendar even- tually may compel its adoption, but it is idle to expect rapid action in a matter which involves the approval of so many groups of people and which would require the altering of so many habits. A shortage is reported in the current hop harvest of the Pacific Coast States, growers of 99 ' per cent of the country’s yield. This would: happen | just as beer shows signs of getting cheaper. As fine as are the allurements of Alaska for summer tourists, the most potent argument is the heat waves that are sweeping the country from end to end. Von by von, as it were, Hitler seems to be re- | moving his opponents. Droughts. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) There seems to be no probiem or task too large, complex or difficult for science to tackle and hope, Natural phenomena, such as tidal waves, typhoons, cyclones and, in fact, any catastrophe which may afflict humanity. serve only to spur on the men of science to seek the cause, in order that future damage may be lessened or, perhaps, prevnted. Droughts are a case in point. H. H. Clayton, of the Smithsonian Institution, after more than fotry- two years of observation and study, asserts that the coming of droughts soon may be.predicted, partly at least, through watching the movements of “cen- ters of action” of weather. Mr. Clayton believes that there are a dozen such scattered over the earth's surface, and that they are among the controlling factors in the world’s weather. These centers of action are, in turn, Mr. Clayton states, controlled by the changing heat of the sun. Says he: “There is something in common in the weather in widely separated parts of the earth. Changes of weather in Central North America show a similarity to changes in Central South America. |Changes in atmospheric pressure in the Indian on the coast of Chile. Annual pressure means in San Diego vary in the same way as in Buenos Aires, and pressures in Ceylon vary inversely as those in Santiago, Chile.” « He further suggests that these common features are occasioned by changes in the intensity of the circulation of the earth’s atmosphere, but admits In light of this fact, though the resuts of Mr. intensive study may prove to !suffer from periodic droughts until we may be able to control the sun’s temperamental fits of varied radiation. Since there are no immediate prospects of our ability to compel old “Sol” to maintain a stable do is to be prepared for eventualities. This could be done by constructing reservoirs at vantage points for storage purposes in times of plenty. Capital’s Chance. (New York World-Telegram.)

PEARL and BILL administrator, James A. Moffett, the Government will launch its newest offensive against the de- pression. This attack differs from the great emergency spending projects of the New Deal. It calls for action less from Washington than from every ham- let, town and city of the nation. The ammunition for this drive is not a rain of public money, but of private money. The combatants are not Government employees, but home owners, contractors, bankers, building and loan companies, material men. The objective is to take the sector still in the enemy’s hands, the heavy industries. The method is to loose the billions of private credit now frozen and put it to work renovating and rebuilding homes, making our cities more comfortable, decently rehousing our families. Normally we spend $11,000,000,000 a year in construction. Now we're spending only $3 000,000 and we're five years behind in normal building. The Government's role under the new housing | &——. act is that of a big insurance firm. Renovation loans of $2,000 or less are to be Government-guar- anteed up to 20 per cent, and new home mortgages are to be Governmen-insured up to 80 per cent of the property's appraised value. In insuring mort- gages and making the mortgage market once more attractive to capital the Government is doing an- other great service—standardizing mortgages, with low interest rates and amortization features. This is a reform that has been needed for years. The big task, however, is private capital's. If this new movement is to succeed private initiative and confidence must be shown. Banks and other loaning services must accept on a wholesale scale Gastineau Cafe Gastineau Hotel | E MISSY SHOP | Specializing in | HOSIERY, LINGERIE, | HOUSE DRESSES | and accessories at moderate | " prices | these insured and standardized mortgage invest- ments. Material men must follow the lead of the lumber dealers, reduce the prices of cement, steel and other building materials, and seek 'to make up |/ their profits from increased volume. Railroads must reduce their rates. Wage disputes must be, min- imized, step made much easier by recent u:non of the union carpenters, bricklayers and electricians’ in making peace with sixteen other building trade crafts. And all the beneficiaries must join in “sell- ing” the rehousing adventure to the public. Partisan critics have been charging the Govern- ment with unduly invading private capital's baili- wick. Here is private capital's chance to do its bit for its self. It takes all kinds of people to make a world, including men who want to marry a Siamese twin. —(Ohio State Journal.)

Telegraphic dispatches from St. Petersburg said the rapidly devel- oping crisis between Austria-Hun- gary and Servia, precipitated by a Serbian, had become so serious that orders were issued looking to |the immediate mobilization of the Russian army. ..It was announced ' to diplomatic' representatives of the var.ous powers at St. Petersburg, that Russia. would go to war rather than allow the downfall of Servia. All powers had been notified by Austria-Hungary of its peremptory demand upon Servia to punish the assassin of Archduke Frinz Ferdi- nand and his wife as well as those who conspired with the assassin. Austrian and Hungarian officers of reserves living abroad had been notified to join their regiments immediately. ian minister at Belgrade had been notified to leave the Servian capi- tal by 6 o'clock in the evening, un- less notified before that time that Servia would comply with Aus- tria's demands.
