WASHINGTON
NEWS-LETTER
'Delegate E. L. (Bob)
Bartlett, on February 19,
introduced a measure in
the House to place many
of the United States Com
missioners serving in Alas
ka on a salary basis.
At the present time,
compensation for Commis
sioners is derived from fees
collected in the perform
ance of their duties as jus
tice of the peace, recorders,
probate judges and notar
ies public. This system
has proved unsatisfactory
for many reasons, the
main objection being that
the compensatioi received
is wholly inadequate for
the cost of living, and the
scale of payment is out of
proportion to the duties
performed.
If enacted into law, this

ONE MONTH NEARER
TO VICTORY
Guessing when the war
will end is one thing; and
planing for it to end is
quite another. The war
won’t end through wishful
thinking. The end of the
war will come because our
valiant boys are under cap
ableleaders and equipped
with the best available
weapons, making every ef
fort to defeat the enemy.
We need not worry a
bout our soldiery sailors,
marines and coastguards
men boing their part; our
part is to furnish more and
more equipment.
The human imagination
quantity of explosives with
the ordnance to propel the
shells used in a single day
of such action as that on
either the Western or the
Russian Front. Pillboxes,
gun emplacements and
whole cities are not pulver
ized with air rifles or even
1.30 rifle shells. Appar
ently the enemy is asking
'to have its cities blasted
j out of existence. If so,
their wish must be granted.!
But such astronomoal
| amounts of equipment cost
money in an amount also
pretty hard for the human
mind to grasp. When the:
United States accepted the
challenge after the sneak
attack on Pearl Harbor a
whole nation was united
ina determination to give
all. That was an insin
cere effort if it did not
include self-denial, hard
work and a willing invest
ment of personal wealth in
a great cause. Why talk
about a Fifth or Sixth War
Loan and look ahead to a
possible Seventh or even
an Eighth? It is one con
tinuous job and so long as
there is anything left in
the sock or any energy left
in the body it goes on with
out any break. Nothing
will make the war end but
suchall out effort that no
force can stand against it.
The plain folks left at
home have two things to
do: the first isto work and
produce; the second is to
lend their money without
limit to make it possible
for the government to car
ry on. They can do no
thing less and still match
the boys who are on the
firing line. r
BUY BONDS! KEEP
BONDS! STAY ON THE
JOB! WORK TO BEAT
THE DEVIL!
