" AGABKA CIRCULALION GUA THAN THAT OF ANY O | vnn:yn ro Bfl LARGER SXIT, THE GRE / SPOON It is probably true that if enacted into law, the proposed new health and sanitation code for the Ter- ritory, now before the Legislature, can not bé en- forced to the letter in mang of the isolated outposts, due to cost of administration, but it certainly has some provisions which doubtless will meet with uni- versal approval. Particularly among these are 'the sections dealing with the handling of food and the sterilizing of utensils in which the public is served. It requires, for example, that glasses, cups, knives and forks, plates and the like must be thoroughly cleansed before being used and that the water in which they are washed be at a high enough tempera- ture to kill germs. Most reputable places do that now, but many of us have had experience with the greasy knife and the -poon so nicely coated that it would appear to be coated with oil. Again, the proposed law provides that persons engaged in the business of handling food take periodic examinations to prove theiy own sound health, and that they are not the victims of some communicable disease. Many other features are incorporated in the pro- posed legislation. All of them are aimed in the right direction, and‘ that toward cleanliness, general good health and well being of the people But if it would eliminate the grimy knife, fork and spoon and the unsterilized glass it would be a worthy piece of legislation. is BUILDING UP THE SPANISH WAR It is estimated by French officials that there aie 50,000 Italians and 10,000 Germans fighting for the Rebel cause in Spain and that on the Loyalist, or Spanish government side, there are some 35,000 war- riors of various nationalities, but mostly Frenchmen. In other words, there are fighting in Spain, according to the French estimate, some 95,000 soldiers who have nothing in common with the Spanish cause Small wonder that the eyes of the world continue to focus on the so-called Civil War in Spain. While it has slowed down to a walk so far as the two com- batting Spanish forces are concerned, it continues to be nourished by those “volunteers” from adjoining countries. Whether the European powers are using Spain as the checker board to test their own strength and to see which way the wind blows, as it were, remains to be definitely established, but there is ample evi- dence that if foreign soldiers were withdrawn from the ranks of the opposmg Spanish factions, the Civil ihelp.” | program, (tenant farmers to acquire land; T {War inSpain would be over one way or the other H A P P Y | e o TS e T | very shortly iR LA BIRTHDA Y| 20 YEARS AGO brink of another conrlagranon. i Biiples onk a‘t-ula ’I PR, """" : 3 tions and best wishes today, their| That low, but gradually increasing in volume, birthday anniversary, to the foll rumble you here is just the boys priming for the city | ing: MARCH 8, 1917 Sl Formal announcement by Presi- TR MARGE & dent Wilson that he would in- Fairbanks woman wants her husband declared | Stanley Nowicka struct Secretary of the Navy Dan- legally dead.

What type of engraving ‘and /torial Senate, the meetings of the President Roosevelt's message to Congress will|What sized cards should" Gne ‘use |House o REpISHn I p e be of special interest to many readers in the light of the present controversy over the Supreme Court. The message deals with one of this country’s larger eco- nomic problems: the evil of farm tenancy. As the President observes, we have reached a point at which two farmers in every five are tenants. This in itself' might not be alarming; but, unfortunately, most ten-| ants lease their land for a short period, usually only a single year, and receive no reimbursement for any | improvements they may make in either soil or build- | ings. What happens in these circumstances is what must inevitably happen: the land is skinned, while the tenant himself becomes a nomad. A system of this kind is thoroughly bad, both socially and economi- { cally, and the President is right in insisting that} something be done to stop it. In his message he de- | clares that “obviously action by the States alone and | 32 independently cannot cure the widespread evil.” He‘» therefore calls upon the Federal Government to take the lead, and ends his message with this statement: | “Most Americans believe that our form of government | does not prohibit action on behalf of those who need | { Fortunately there is no legal restraint which} would prohibit the giving of help to tenant farmers,! precisely in the form in which the President believes | that help should be given. He urges a four-point | to consist of long-term credit to enable | modest loans to help | them achieve greater success in their struggle for | security; retirement by public agencies of land un- | suited for purposes of farming; cooperation with State and local authorities to improve the general leasing system. Each of these four policies can be pursued with- out any fear of encountering some obstruction of the law or courts. In fact, the Federal Government is already pursuing actively the first three policies, and can undertake the fourth at any moment it is ready to do so. The Farm Credit Administration furnished long-term ¢redit which financed the purchase of more than 14,000 farms last year. It made many thousands of short-term loans for the assistance of small farmers. Its closely allied agency, the Rural Resettlement Ad- ministration, obtained options on 9,500,000 acres of poor farm land, specifically for the purpose of retir- ing it from cultivation. If it is now desirable to intensify any or all of ihese activities, Mr. Roosevelt and Congress have only to say the word. Their power to act in the matter unquestioned. The President’s message, in fact, comes as a reminder of.something whiech the more extreme partisans. of his' Supreme Court. proposal seem 1o | o have ignored entirely: namely, the fact that therel are large and fundamental economic problems—this is one of them—with which the Federal Government is fully equipped to deal, without any change in the Constitution or in the court which stands its guardian, as G.
