AUABKA CIRCULATION G THAN THAT OF ANY O BE LARGER BLICATION. MONEY FOR THE RIGHT PURPOS ES There probably will be a few lifted eyebrows and | some broad hints that the Territorial Legislature has| | forgotten the word economy as Alaskans look over the total figure for the Territory’s appropriations for the next two years, an amount at the before final action, of approximately three dollars. But closer analysis will reveal little cause for alarm or criticism. As most of us concede, it so much the amount of money that may be spent purposes for which it is to be used that really counts. It will be noted that the largest single item goes for education, for education in our public schools, both rural and city, the very foundation of our national advancement. Few, indeed, there are who do not is not want to see their children get the best advantages| possible for learning. There was some effort to elim- inate the fund for transportation of pupils living some | distance from school. But, on final analy who is there to stand up gnd say that the child, living beyond a walkable distance from school whose par- ents are not in circumstances to provide transpor- tation, should be denied the right of an education? A sizeable sum is ear-marked for the University of Alaska, an institution of higher learning being fostered within our borders and doing an excellent work. There is honest question as to the speed at which this institution should be permitted to expand in relation to our resources and the development of the rest of the Territory. But there are none to say the University should be abandoned, thus it is imperative that it be supported. Next in the larger amounts, but probably foremost in importance, is the item of roads. A sum of $400,000 has been fixed, prior to final action, for that purpose. Included in this is trails and the development of landing fields. Mining, too, has been provided for, $20,000 being set aside for mining extension at the University and further funds given the mining de- partment to carry forward it surveys in promoting development work. The regular established items for the adminis tration of government are much the same, being ad- justed in various places to meet requirements. Thus, it appears, that while three million dollars is a lot of money. when it is expended in the furtherance of education and for the development of our natural re- sources it is not being wasted. FISHING IN THE NORTH PACIFIC Lewis B. Schwellenbach, the junior Senator from |Until it does we ¢an never be sure its sparks will not jt). “The best security for the fi~ Washington State, again calls to the attention of Congress the need for adequate protection of the North Pacific fisheries which includes that annually great output from Alaskan waters. He points logi- cally to the grave danger which lies in competition over the valuable sea food products taken in large quantities from the Bering Sea to the sardine coast of California. The point has been emphasized many times before and in the future it doubtless will become an even more controversial issue. But the important feature, EASY PAYMENT PLAN! ON ALL ARTICLES HERE . ...

We in Alaska, as well as those conversant with Alaska fisheries, know the inroads being made by the Japanese on our fishing banks. The Senator goes further and points to the invasion anticipated by British and Nrwegian vessels, and it does not bode well for the future of American fisheries in the North Pacific. | The world is getting to be a small place. Trans- portation and communication has so speeded up our /mode of living and our contacts between distant places that today it is impossible for any nation to | live unto itself. In view of this accepted fact, it is obvious that there are only two ways in which. we Lcan protect our fishing banks. That is either to throw a fleet of warships around our waters and say “hands 'off” (to the world, or make agreements with other ~ (countries in which our rights are protected. The for- | mer,, of course, wouigy lead .to-but -one ; thing—war. Therefore, the lattey appears at this time to be the when action is not taken toward thatiend: means it | will be just that muchymore difficult tosget/ our just | fishing privileges when*the inevitable {s’ reached. International agreement, in which we doubtless | will have to concede something, naturally is not en- | tirely to our liking, but we cannot dodge it any more than one can put out the sun by calling the fire de- partment. The quicker we, as a nation, accept the blunt fact and act accordingly the sooner we will | stop, at least to some degree, the great inroads that | are now being made on this, one of our largest na- | tional industries. | Mrs. Roosevelt carries a pistol, and there are those who say her husband carries a big club.
