THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE MONDAY NOV. 30, 1936 the announcement made by Relief Administrator Harry L. Hopkins. 3 Relief rolls are going down rapidly. Hopkins' | figures show a decrease of 28 percent from the peak relief load. This winter there will be one million less | ZLmericans on relief than last winter. That means real prosperity. More than anything | j €lse it just s the market boom and the confidence in | 1 sturning prosperity tvery man who goes back to work in private in- becomes a better customer than he wa$ on the And every customer with more buying an additional job somewhere for another Dmh Un.ska PENDER Ln aptre ERT W. - Faitar and Managzes the EMPIRE hed e PRINTING.

Once arted it didn’t stop until the New Deal brought into lay huge economic forces to oppose it. But now that it has turned, the nation will find that the return to prosperity is also self-accelerating. rom mow on, every six months’ period will find the Government spending less for relief than the six inonths precedi And every month will find the Government revenues inecreasing in proportion to in- creased husiness and income. That is how the national budget is headed back toward balaice. Not by bookkeeping, or juggling, or penny-pinching economies, but by putting the un- employed Back to work and restoring business profits. After all, nothing can balance the budget except he return of the unemployed to private industry. And hat’s where Roosevelt's New Deal is leading them. Hopkins reports that the upswing of employment is not confined to any section. Every State is bene- fiting by it, to a greater or less degree. By this time next year the relief rolls should stand at well under half the peak load if the prgsent trend continues. Those employment figures are the best measure (of the Roosevelt achievement, whether it is expressed in terms of economic ival or in terms of human op- portunity and security. Is the Emergency Over?

From the far north to Seattle, Alaska planes have streaked across the skies to carry hundreds of passengers who otherwise would have been unable to get anywhere. Here in the Southeast planes have played a stellar role and in the Interior they have been virtually the only means of portation The Fairbanks News-Miner points out The News-Miner says: Particularly outsranding in the public eye today is the way Alaska's slpendid fleet of some 60 fine modern commercial planes are meet- ing the demand for special as well as regular service under the emergency conditions pre- vailing in the Territory as a result of the mar- ine strike. Hundreds of passengers have been flown to and from various main centers and outlying points, express, freight and mails are given dispatch, and many a demand met which otherwise would have been unsupplied Save for the Alaska Raiiroad trains, in- terior Alaska traffic as well as coastal traffic would be at a standstill now. Especially to be appreciated now is the fast first class mail deliveries given from Ju- neau to Fairbanks fhrough the courtesy of the Pacific Ala: Airways.

His purpose would | be to rearrange the activities of the huge Federal | trans- | cstablishment on a “functional” basis, by consolidating | and transferring bureaus, by deleting useless or: owt- noded units, perhaps even by making changes in | ome of the regular Cabinet positions. For mm'o’ | than twenty years—in fact, since President Taft raised the question in & message to Congress in 1912—the {desirability of a real shake-up in Washington has been evident. The regular departments of the Government |are haphazardly planned for much of the work they are called upon to handle. On top of them, in recent vears, has been built a vast superstructure of new al- | phabetical agencies. A thorough-going reorganization of the entire machine would not only save money; it would provide more efficient management of essen- | | tial public services What specific cha can most profitably be | made, the President himself is probably not in a posi- | tion to say at present. But if he has thought much about the problem, he has doubtless recognized that | the starting point for the whole discussion lies in the answer to these questions: Is the emergency over? | Has a point been reached at which the Government |can safely begin to dispense with the extraordinary | powers given it by Congress in the dark days of the | depression? 1f the answer is yes, then many of the | new alphabetical agencies can promptly be eliminated; others can be combined with the regularly established | | departments; iack of coordination between the old- | line bureaus and the newcomers can be repaired; pro- jects which are essentially in the nature of stop-gaps jcan be canceled, and reorganization can proceed along | a broad front.: But if the answer is no, then any re- | pair work undertaken in 1937 must necessarily be lim- | |ited and piecemeal. | The whole question of reorganization cannot be ges uld go far t program of development T more than a ton of Thanks- wnd chickeps here from Skag- vening by the Wien Alaska Air- s another demonstration of the valuable se~vice of the airplane in times of unusual conditions in Alaska.

In a very fundamental way the President’s |answer to that question will determine not only the shape of any rebrganization plan for the new Congress, but the broad outlines of his whole second Admin- | istration.

B PETERSBURG TRAFFIC TO HAVE ‘STOP’ SIGNS The increased number of auto- mobiles in Petersburg, together with the new Main Street, has led the City Council to consider new traf- fic regulations. It was decided to make the hill streets “stop streets,” while Main Street and those paral- leling it are to be the through streets. Such regulations as parking zones near fire hydrants and speed limits jare to be incorporated in an ordi- {nan:e now b‘emg drafted.
