ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. i THE NAIVE MR. M'CAIN. With amusing naivety, H. G. McCain, one of four Republican candidates for the House of Rep-| resentatives in this Division, has been appealing for | Democratic support by declaring that they should | be willing to follow the example set by President Roosevelt in supporting progressive Republicans. | Just where he got the idea is not altogether cer- | tain. So far as we know, Mr. Roosevelt isn’t sup- porting any candidate in the current Coongressional campaign. In California, out of deference to the National organization, the Democrats are not op- posing Senator Hiram Johnson. That, we are certain | I8 the extent of Democratic support to progressive Republicans. In Wisconsin, where Senator LaFollette is run- ning on a progressive ticket, the Democrats have a candidate which the oganization is supporv.ing,‘ The same is true in New Mexico where 'Senator Cutting, another progressive Republican, is faced | with a test at the polls, Democratic opposition is assured. Generally, these Senators supported the | New Deal in Congress and are giving it support at has launched a new and more scientific drive against bootlegging than -ever attempted before. It should have ‘the needed public support so widely lacking during Prohibition days. The division into districts, beginning with Chicago as a pattern or laboratory, and the effective attention to bottles and labels, (too weak a point before), may yet stir as much applause as the Federal drive against crime. The Federal prisons, with 5000 fewer poppulation, will be kept ready for the new influx. The Treasury wants tp get evaded taxes; legiti- mate business properly wants outlaw competition removed. Lower taxation undoubtedly would con- tribute a good deal toward. better results. The public wants lower prices. Repeal has its problems as well as Prohibition had. They seem, however, simpler and more s@seeptible of commonsense solution. Bishop Cannon recently” arrived from England with a flask of whiskey which, he explained, was for demonstration purposes. As a demonstrator he 1s one of the nation’s best. Our old friend Wilbur Gien Voliva is going to get even for defeat at the polls by causing the world to come tc an end sometime after 6 am., September 10. The Seattle Star is out with a prediction that Senator Borah will be the Republican nominee for President in 1936. And there goes the Senator's last chance for a goal he has had his eyes on for many, many years. AR e S AR Contagious Electricity. (New York World-Telegram.) President Roosevelt's faith in an electrified Am- erica, as re-emphasized in his speeches at dam sites of the Northwest, seems to be shared by a growing number of citizens. But there are strong interests pulling in the opposite direction. Today the United States Chamber of Commerce issued a middle of the road report on the domestic use of electricity. It states: Even with substantial reductions in equip- ment cost and energy cost it is doubtful whether the economic status of the potential “electrified home” customers is such that the growth of home electrification can be greatly eccelerated unless forced by some artificial stimulus such as a Government subsidy. One group opposing the Roosevelt”program argues that other forms of energy at lower cost will block electrical development. 4 Similar objections were made when Henry Ford started mass production of low priced automobiles, offering men of moderate means the advantage of a new and convenient form of transportation. home. | Certainly Mr| McCain can claim no consideration on these grounds. So far from supporting the New Deal in Alaska, he has lost no opportunity to attack it. Witness his unjustified criticism of the ' United States Bureau of Fisheries, one of the agencies that has honestly and earnestly endeavored to promote the welfare of local residents. Com- missioner Bell was the first to urge a code for the salmon canning industry to the end that wages could be boosted and fish prices increased. He and his aides ‘have brought. the fisheries. gloser home | than they ever have been before. Yet Mr. McCain brands Mr. Bell's administration as the worst Alaska ever had. It is true he prefaced -his appeal for Demo- cratic support with the statement that he approved of anything in the New Deal that benefitted the | people. He was careful, however, not to go into| particulars on this subject. Apparently his pro- | gressiveness consists of embracing any doctrine that will win him votes, the main object being to get elected without regard for the how or why of it. MAKE SURE IT'S DEER BEFORE SHOOTING. . With the open season on deer in Southeast“ Alaska beginning today, it is timely to again urge | upon all hunters the necessity of exercising every | possible precaution in the field. Every year the st of victims of over-eager sportsmen in the Nation is appalling. There is only one way in which to reduce it, and that is for each individual who goes into the hills and woods to withhold fire until he is certain the object of his aim is the animal he is hunting, and that no human being is in the | line of fire. This is one of the major tests of real sportsmanship. Sometimes it takes a lot of self oontrol to refrain from shooting at a moving object in the brush when the hunter is convinced in his own mind that no other person is near. Yet, that has been the source of more than one hunting fatality. There are a few cardinal don'ts in the sports- man'’s lexicon. The first and most important one is: “Dont’ be careless.” If it is observed all the rest can be ignored. For after all, at the bottom of every hunting accident is carelessness of some kind.l Loaded guns have no place in boats. There is ample * time to load them after the hunting grounds are reached, and they should be unloaded before re- embarking. Care in the handling of weapons and in determining the target before firing will insure safety without handicapping the hunter. It's a lot better to be safe than to be sorry. TOWN ACQUITS ITSELF WITH CREDIT. Our season of large-scale entertainment is over. With the arrival and departure of the Army's Martin bombers, the program was completed. In about three weeks, Juneau has entertained 3,000 officers and men of the American Navy and Army and the British Navy. For a community that has less than twice that number of residents, that represented a real task. To E. M. Goddard, Chairman of the Special Entertainment Committee, a great deal of credit for the creditable manner in which it was performed 15 due. The members of his committee rendered valuable aid, of course, but after all it was largely the Chairman who was called upon to act. The municipal government, the Chamber of Commerce, Masons, Elks and other organizations co-operated whole-heartedly. And .not less as a factor in round- ing out the success Was the spirit in which the entire community entered and responded to the situa- tion. It was a fine example of teamwork, and dem- onstrates again that Juneau can put over anything The capital cost of operating expenses of horse and buggy were somewhat less than even the lowest priced gasoline carriages. But America in 1933 had 23,720,000 registered automobiles. As the President and many of the world’s leading engineers see in electricity the basis for a new sort of civilization, Ford saw the possibility of revolutionizing trans- portation with a car to fit millions of pocketbooks. Doing it proved profitable. Mass electrification of American homes the way. end filth.” ‘The question today is whether private capital will sacrifice high unit profits for smaller profits on a great volume of appliances and electricity, or whether President Roosevelt’s “yardstick” projects will be expanded to cover the nation. Low rates and low-priced equipment have lifted domestic consumption of electricity in Tupelo, Miss., 83 per cent in a few months. The Tennessee Valley Authority formula by which this was done is not copyrighted. But it is contagious. is on It may hasten “leisure, freedom and an to drudgery, congestion, noise, smoke and The Trend of Savings. (New York Herald Tribune.) ‘The combined semi-annual report of the country’s mutual savings banks, showing their position as of July 1, reveals an increase in total deposits of $126,- 000,000 as compared with January 1, and an increase of 273,000 in the number of accounts. The number of accounts, 13,686,000, is the largest in the history of savings banking in the United States. The fact that relief rolls have shown little re- flection of the rise in employment and pay rolls in recent months has been regarded in some quarters as evidence that, savings had been seriously depleted, Only one of the several figures in the report of th savings banks, however, lends any substantial support to this theory. That is the figure on the size of the average account, which has dropped to $710 from $715 six months ago and from a peak of 4753 on July 31, 1931, ¢ Normally savings-bank deposits show a rather steady increase from year to year, partly reflecting the natural growth of the country and the increasing popularity of this type of institution, partly reflect- ing the automatic expansion resulting from the fact that depositors allow their dividends to accumulate. There have been but two breaks in the upward trend in recent years. One of these was in the latter half of 1929, when many savings-bank depositors were seized with the speculative fever and withdrew |their funds to buy stocks on margin. The other came during the worst of the depression. Through- out 1930. and 1931 deposits continued o expand, and actually reached their all-time peak in January, 1932, when they touched $10,030,000,000. From that point on they declined to January 1, 1934, when they made their depression low of $9,594,000,000. It is hazardous to draw too sweeping general- izations from these, savings-bank figures, particularly in view of the hanking difficulties. of 1932 and 1933. Undoubtedly loss of confidence in 4all typés. of banks during that period caused many people to forgo interest and dividends and to hoard their cash; by the same token, the return of confidence: in the banks has ¥ndoubtedly accentuated the rise in both deposits and accounts in recent months. One thing seems cléar, however: That is that while depression cut heavily into wages and salaries, this is more than offset, 50 far as volume of savings is concerned, by the natural tendency at such times for people, impressed by the need for assuring their economic security, to put away a larger share than normally of what they earn.
