Oh well, maybe the folks had better all come up to the Territory and let Knox and Bumh take over down below. LET'S FOLLOW UP THE ROBERTSON SUGGESTION The suggestion of R. E. Robertson to the Juneau Chamber of Commerce that something be done to interest mining capital in Alaska is a timely one, jand a matter which should be followed up with dis- patch. If, as Mr. Robertson points out, high taxes and other things are driving the mining industry out of the States to other lands, we should try to catch | them the rebound, for the simple reason that Alaska has something concrete to offer. It's no medicine show ballyhoo man’s talk to say Alaska has undeveloped mineral wealth. Every one | up here knows it, but that isn’t enough. The men with capital who will come up here and develop it have to {be sold; they want facts and proof. That is the major purpose back of the Territorial Department of Mines, but so far it has been handi- | capped with lack of funds, as only a small amount | was set aside for its use when it was created by the last Legislature. No more money will be made avail- on able until the next Legislature. | A golden opportunity presents itself for the Chamber to take action at this time and put forth {every effort to try and swing some of that mining | capital to the north (Alaska’s mineral resources in the Chamber can do a major service to the Ipeople and itself.

That attack by Mr. Bryan prevented Mr. Clark from becoming the Democratic nominee, and the rest is history. (Emporia Gazette) A curious phenomenon of the last two years is this: as the rich get richer, they have hated Roosevelt more bitterly. In 1933, when he was proposing really basic economic changes, hardly a voice was raised in opposition. Now that profits are jumping ahead and industrial activity is almost at the 1929 levels, the righ are hollering their heads off against Roosevelt. The probable explanation: in 1933 the old order had gone so ccmpletely to smash that the prosperous classes had notiiing to lose but their chains. were willing to submit to any alteration. Now that profits are restored arsl they again have something to lose, they are bitter against all hint of change.

SATURDAY, MAY 16, 1936 Adverse planetary aspects appear | to rule today, according to astrol- ogy. It is a time to enjoy outdoor recreations, although accidents may be numerous under this sway. The employment may seem dis- couraging i the United States where machines will eliminate many hands as industry speeds up. Reactionary influences, which now will be strong in all lines of activity, will tend to place men in positions sought by women. While | liberal ideas will be prevalent there will be a strong tendency to return to old and tried policies. This is not an auspicious date for beginning important projects, but u stimulates plans for future ven- tures. Heads of big business now will cooperate closely and thus will arouse new antagonisms, the seers forecast. The configuration favors the successful and prosperous today. It s most auspicious for receiving for- ign official visitors and seems to carry propitious omeéns regarding war debts. Women should devote themselves to social and domestic pursuits at this time. The stars smile upon those who depend upon male mem- bers of their families for support. Quarrels or misunderstandings may be numerous among young folks un- der this rule of the stars which stimulates love affairs and at the same time spurs ambition. College students may be peculiarly sensi- tive to disturbing vibrations. Among the nation’s money-chan- gers this should be a lucky day. |In the financial world events are forecast.
