These improvements, and a thousand other thing in Alaska which would not have been done so well without him, will serve as monument to James L. Galen. | As the Fairbanks News-Miner says: “May the spirit and the devotion that was his serve as an in- spiration to all privileged to carry on in the service of the great land of his devotion.” HOW MANY ARE WE? A clue to the interesting problem of what the census will show Juneau's population to be next year is furnished in the biennial report of the Territorial Commissioner of Education This report shows that public school enrollment in Juneau from 1928 to 1438, a span comparable to| that between census periods, has increased from 573 to 841. The gain in the 10 years is one of 46.77 percent. If gain in school enroliment is a reliable index to gain ‘in population generally, and there is no reason why it should not be, the number of people in Juneau in the 10 years should have increased by about the same percent The 1930 census showed 4,043 people here, If our premise and arithmetic are both correct, the city'’s population in This is far less however than has been claimed in some quarters, but still represents a phenomenal gain.

If the budget is “a heap of mon So the United States of America ation.” is “a heap of a This necessity for maintaining a sense of propor- jon was emphasized by President Roosevelt in his message, the first in our history to take a business- like attitude toward national finance. We urge everyone to read that message. Everything in life is relative. Some ants look big o other ants. All ants look tiny to human beings fuman beings look like specks from a thousand feet in the air So does the income of John Jones look large to his small son who has an allowance of a quarter a week. The income of a big corporation looks huge to John Jones, but the Federal Government is the biggest business with the vastest obligations and re- sponsibilities of all. Now the Government's income is necessarily re ated to the nation’s income. As the President shows, in his table of proportioned Federal and national incomes: If the to rise to $70,000,000,000. the Government's income (withou: any increase in tax rates) would rise to about $6.000 900,000 a year. If the national income went to $80,000,000,000, the Government’s proportionate hare would be $8,000,000,000. With a $80,000,000,000 national income, the Government would receive $10,- 600,000,000. The nation’s income is the index of its prosperity. So long as our national income is rising we are ahead. There is more money to meet our There is more business, more purchasing naturally, there is more Government ng igations. ower. And revenue So also with private business A million dollars, per se, may be a small sum or ; one depending on whether it is the small income a big business or the big income of a smaller ness The selling costs of a 20-million-dojlar corpora- tion are naturally larger than those of a 10-million- ar corporation. And you can't imagine a man, was a director in both, howling because the er firm's costs exceeded those of the smaller one! jat’'s why it is absurd for men like Woodrum supposedly responsible editors to attempt to hten people with talks of “heaps of money” and nomical figures.” The U.S.A. has a big budget—because the U.S.A s a big country. u President Roosevelt also deserves acclaim for his gestion that Federal bookkeeping be as sane and rational as that of private business. In reply to the Tories who cry about any increas® in the nation’s debt, he replies that of the $28,000,000,- | 000 of debt incurred for the 10 years ending in 1940- Eighteen billions represent money invested in assets, tangible properties, many of them seli- liquidating—dams, bridges, buildings, loans, etc. Much of the $18.000,000,000 will be paid back | The net cost of the whole recovery program thus has been only $10.000.000,000, an average of a billion |a year. And in return the nation’s income has risen $20,000,000,000, or 50 percent, since its low point in | 1932, | That’s what we call a good investment. H But the President's point is that Government bookkeeping should show those Government assets as | well as Government debt and liabilities. Today the figures show only liabilities. (In any corporation or bank statement you will find on one side the list of assets—on the other side | the list of liabilities.) Congress would take a great step ahead in fol- |lowing the President's suggestion. It is unfair and | dishonest to pretend to our people that all the money jspent by the Government is wasted.
