TOO MUCH OF A GOOD THING.
There is war between the
Housewives League ami the
“holders” of rice. The trouble
arises from the fact that thus
early in Ihe season there is a
surplus of 1,800,000 sacks of the
raw material of puddings, a ca
lamity which can be measured
only by the fact that it surpasses
last year’s overstock by a million
sacks. Naturally, the i'House
wives have appealed to the gov
ernment for assistance. In a like
emergency the distressed coffee
growers of Brazil appealed to
their government, and “valor
ization” was the result. Our gov
ernment thought that was very
wrong of Brazil, but it might take
a different view of its own duly
in the case of the rice growers
lacing ruin through th,e abun
dance of their harvest. They have
no idea of letting the larger quan
tity go for the price of a mod
erate crop. They are proposing
to export Ihe surplus, or even
to destroy it, as once was pro
posed by the cotton planters when
they faced a similar emergency.
The argument is that “if they
could destroy 1,250,000 sacks,
getting nothing in return for
them, the balance of the rice
would bring mor-e than the whole
quantity.” The aggregate price
is all they think of, it being none
of their business to consider how
much good the destroyed rice
might do if allowed to reach the
hungry.
As producers of rice il is their
right to set their own price on
it, and to select the market in
which they will sell it. The
Housewives’ right is to go with
out what they do not pay for and
to expose to contumely those con
spiring to destroy food rather
than allow it to reach market.
If the housewives should con
spire to eat hasty pudding they
might so increase the calamitous
abundance of rice that the mar
ket for it would collapse. Unless
these conspiracies should be
criminal or “unfair” we hardly
see what “government” could do
about either of them. Not even
if the ladies voted could they
vote down the price of rice. Hut
they might think tfi,ey could, like
iso many of those who possess
the sulfrage. Thus intimate is
the relation between the price of
pudding and voles for women.—

BLIX PREDICTS
GHISANA GOOD
Says Reports Are All Good-Will
Get Supplies For Roadhouse
Via Valdez.
ltingwald Blix, the storekeeper
and roadhouse man from Copper
Center, arrived in Valdez last
night and predicts a big rush in
to the new Chisaua country next
spjring.
Mr. Blix says that the reports
from the new diggings are good
and that those who are equipped
to remain in the camp for the
winter, are sure to open up the
benches, upon which good pros
pects have been found and al
ready four creeks have been
found with pay, Eldorado, Bonan
nza, Wilson and Johnson.
Mr. Blix is also contracting
with local freighters to have his
winter supplies hauled from Val
dez to the Center. Mr. Blix had
his freight taken via Valdez last
year and had supplies while those
who depended on the railroad to
deliver freight to Chitina were
compelled to serve rabbits and
spruce tea and be continued to
serve the linest meals on the
line.
