For those from outside the Territory it is (Imh affiliated with big game hunting. No sports- m!;“n comes north on a big game trip without bringing hisstackle along for a little fishing. And it is esti- mfifed that at least 100 well-to-do sportsmen come ingg: the Territory every season, sometimes many mprr\ and officials esitmate that each spends not than $2,000 on such a trip. Which means that atydeast $200,000 in new money is brought into Alaska season by sportsmen to go the various avenues of trades within the Territory It merges on big business. Actually ounts to a great deal more if all travelers who mpde side fishing and hunting trips while in the ndrth were considered. It probably isn't far off to say, that the total spent in connection with hunting zn}n'h,\h;ng in the Territory every year runs close to athalf million dollars, and that is important money, particularly when it is considered that a large part of it comes from the outside and is spent here. That’s the thought that comes to us as we read r:-t)u\ Mary Ann trout fly. We don’t know that highly touted Mary is going to result in increasing te number of sportsmen that come to Alaska, but she certainly dees call attention to the fact that we have a nice little sport fishing business in the north can't be amiss in fostering and perpetuating the major every into it probably which we in every way possible. * w¢To that vast fraternity wldome Mary Ann LIS of Alaska boosters, we “JUST GIVE I)()ROTH\ A CHANCE fFor some time we were of the belief the President mjght as well call it off and turn the country over to"Wall Street and the Saturday Evening Post, now tHET the American Liberty League has folded up. But thee latest outburst by syndicate columnist Dorothy TROmpson convinces us that we overlooked a bet. Pghaps it should be a three-some and give Dorothy akchance . s,/ Dorothy will be recalled as the wife of Sinclair Lewis whose outstanding claim to fame was. being offlered out of Germany for having written something tHAt Hitler didn't like. But since her return to this colintry the writing lass has been doing well fqerthe reactionary element of the country asseciated with Maine and Vermont. , Dorothy reaches her zenith in one, of her recent cles after a press conference with the President. For two full columns Dorothy : Why, she says, “the country knows that, it'ls seeing an unparalleled example of a government- n{lfle depression, brought about by short-sightedness, bké' judgment, ineptitude, and a policy which, start- ing out to balance prosperity, ended by unbalancing regovery.” S0 that was prosperity started out to balance back in 19322 With banks crashing all over the counftries about that time and ons hungry we had prosperity take it from Grothy, and didn't know it.

( pmlam-lpma Record) Comes a new argument against the social sécurity New York Times from Mr. Walter Lippmaun, and offered “free to the public.” Grave fears are expressed for the unemployed and the aged because the Government, as the Times puts it, is giving only “IOU’'s” in return for social security taxes. What is meant by “I O U's"? It is clear that Government securities are meant for the Times in its leading editorial Saturday says “All that is happening at present is that the Gov- ernment is promising ultimately to levy enough taxes to pay the interest and principal on its own netes and securities (in the social security fund).” In the meantime, it is objected, the Government is using for current purposes the money obtained by selling its securities to the social security reserve fund. So what? If a man puts his savings in a savings bank and the savings bank buys Government bonds—and all savings banks do because Government bonds are our safest form of investment—the Government gives the bank an “I O U"” and spends the money, promising to pay interest and principal If a man buys a railroad bond, the railroad gives him an “TOU” and spends the money If savings banks prefer Governiment bonds to railroad bonds, aren’t Government securities a better investment for social security funds than other types of investment? | The money has to be invested somewhere As far as the social security “investor” is con- cerned, the difference is that democratic processes give him a check on the Government, but he has no real check with which to protect himselt if a railroad promoter or a shady industrialist gets his hands on the investment represtnted by railroad or industrial bonds. There is a difference as far as the banker is con- cerned, and it may be that this is really what troubles the conservatives. The building up of social security reserves will make the Federal Government less dependent on Wall Street for its financing. It will sell its securities to the reserve fund rather than to the bankers And the bankers think so much of these as the Times calls them, that they feel hurt We think the social security act faulty, but our conservative friends have yet to touch on its real flaws. 1 The chief flaw is that its taxes come from busi- | ness, consumers and workers, thus decreasing pur- chasing power; that it taxes the poor to help the poor; takes money out of one pocket and puts it in | another. act—picked up by the 10Us” Democratic Planning (New York Times) Some of us in recent years have grown skittish about “plans.” So often, as in Russia, they seem to wind up with people getting shot for offenses which in this country would merely cause them to be fired, | HAPPY BIRTHDAY The Empire extends congratula- tions and best wishes today, their birthday anniversary, to the follow- ing: NOVEMBER 20 Bonnie Erickson Mrs. C.

But the National Re- sources Committee does not recommend a dictator. It sees the problem as requiring “the friendly co- | operation of -city and country alike, of national, State |and local governments, and of many non-governmen- tal associations as well.” The technique of democratic cooperation in planning has still to be worked. out, but we do seem in this case to be on the right track In time, if we follow this lead, we may show the dic- tators a thing or two.

It encourages them to good deeds within the home and outside the domestic circle. Philanthropies and charities will benefit. Both men and women may be lucky in their love affairs under this direction of the stars, for it combines with sentiment a degree of common sense.
