THE CANOL PROJECT Every war has its blunders, made in the haste of racing against time, and it is beginning to look as if the Canol project which is costing the United States something between $138,000,000 and $200,000,000, is one of these. would have been produced On the other hand, evidently the idea was to tap a source of oil as close as possible to the great circle air route to Russia, over which many planes are moving to the Seviet—planes which need fuel. This is no longer a military secret. The Alaska Highway is not yet capable of carrying traffic to haul fuel to be dumped along the air route for these planes and there is a question if this can be accomplished in the very near future Some fuel can be pumped in from coastal cities of Alaska from sea-going tankers. This pipe line to Norman Wells, now more than halfway completed, passes over icy mountains, will lay on the ground in icy temperatures, and the con- gealed oil may not flow at these temperatures. Certainly, the War Department should have little reason for not showing the contracts in a Con- gressional investigation because of military security. Congress represents the people who are putting up the money for this job and the people, through their eclected representatives have every right to know if this money is being spent foolishly Base for a Tax Program (Cincinnati Enquirder) In devising any taxation program to meet the needs of these years of war expenditures, war profits and war wages several considerations demand atten- tion. First among these, of course, is the national budget. We must strive to put it nearer a balance; to prevent the piling up of ddditional debt on top of the stupendous load the nation already carries. Second, taxation must be considered as a possible deterrent to inflation, the danger of which increases |as the national income mounts and the amount of | available consumer goods declines. If our Federal Government faced one or the other of these problems alone, the solution might be com- | paratively simple. But the combination of the two | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA HAPPY BIRTHDAY NOVEMBER 2 Daily Alaska Empire Joe Thibodeau Mrrs. Theodore Mack G.

Family ties should have a special power while this config- uration prevails. It is a happy wed- love affairs among the young.

Ickes, Petroleum Coordinator, who is supposed to be consulted on all foreign matters relating to petroleum and is charged with the responsibility of directing the operations of American oil companies in the foreign field. So the first grounds for suspicion in Congress is that the project was undertaken by the Army without the approval of the Petroleum Coordinator. The Petroleum Admin- istration was not even furnished with copies of the contracts. On the contrary, Secretary Ickes, when the project was proposed, wrote a letter to Secretary of War Henry Stimson, calling the proposed oil line impractical, and Stimson ordered the job stopped. But it went on Requests by Congressmen for these contracts have been turned down by the War Department which says the project is classified as a military secret. But at the same time, numerous articles have outlined the project in detail, giving the location of the pipe line and refineries, the number of troops ihvolved—surely all the enemy need know for a * bombing party. Congress notes that after the war the oil wells being developed would be owned by Canada. The pipe line and the wells will be turned over to the |unless there are changes in spending, the national | debt will become so overwhelming that the:nation’s! economic structure may come tumbling around our ! ears, Still another factor enters the picture—that is the | rising cost of living, or inflation as we have experienced ; | it to date.

Alternative bi D e 20 YEARS AGO #%% exrirs e NOVEMBER 2, 1923 Suspension of all city street work was to take place shortly and the Street Commissioner laid off for the winter. Virtually all of the year's program as adopted the previous spring had been completed in addition to work that had to be done not included in the preliminary { estimates. There had been more money spent in-mining development work this year in the Stewart district than ever before and the results were better than ever, according to G. A. Clothier, Resident Mining Engineer for the Provincial Government, who had just returned from his annual trip of inspection to the mining properties in that district. The freighter Redondo called at this port, taking a cargo of clear spruce which was to be discharged at Seattle and the greater portion of the shipment was then to be transshipped by rail to one of the Atlantic ports and from there to England by steamer. Donald L. Haley, who returned from Point Barrow to Seattle on the Victoria, was expected to come home to Juneau on the Alaska. Mrs. George Simpkins and daughter Jean were passengers on the Alaska enroute here after spending several months in the States. Juneau weather for the previous month was the warmest of any ;prcvious October on record except in 1904, according to the monthly summary of the Weather Bureau made public by Meteorologist in Charge R. L. Mize of the local station. Weather report: High, 41; low, 38.
