WHEN THE PEOPLE SPEAK
One of tii# most encouraging and significant aug
eries for a swing of the pendulum from the nadir to
something resembling normalcy in American life, is the
character of the new Cabinet named by President-Elect
Franklin D. Roosevelt.
Of those composing the Cabinet eight were born out-1
side of big cities and two were products of the metrop
olis. Of these latter Postmaster General James Farley
and Miss Frances Perkins were born in the metropolis.
And even in this instance, Miss Perkins comes from the
fountainhead of the nation’s intellectual stream, and
from the spot where American independence was im
planted in the soil. Only Mr. Farley emerges from the
great Metropolis of New York.
With respect to Mr. Roosevelt it may be said that he
is in it but not of it having been born in Hyde Park, N.
Y., and his orbit having encompassed the state rather
than the city of New York.
It is from the outlying precincts of the nation whence
come its statesmen and constructive geniuses, who began
and completed all that is worth while within the nation,
and fought to safeguard its honor and traditions.
All of wnich goes to synchronize with the history of
the United States as it relates to men who have eon
triouteci constructive rather than destructive influence
upon ' he nation.
BEWARE OF HE WHO COMES BEARING GIFTS
_ i
Every Legislature since the creation of that institu-1
tion in 1912 has been the stepping stone for federal ap-!
pointment. It is a natural corollary, in that it is supposed
to recognize in rhe men named for the Alaska House and
Senate, material capable of filling minor federal posi
tions while at the same time telling Alaska that it is a
recognition of home rule.
But it is thus that the Federal political machine, sup
posed to be non-existent and purely aloof from local pol
itics, has been builded and is functioning, and why Alas
ka is like the child shown a dollar by his father and told
“It’s ours.”
It is nothing more than human nature for one enter
ing politics to wish to advance. Knowing this, each ses
sion sets certain members singled out for Federal pre
ferment it they are willing to accept the Federal brand
and perform to the Federal machine’s dictates.
Of those identified with Alaskan political life, but
few s-.alwart Alaskans remain. They are the men who
cannot be hired from their loyalty to the country they
have helped ro make. Of the others, one may find some
illuminating and startling material to juggle with wiien
they follow' their careers after accepting the sugar-coat-!
ed pill given them by the boss of the Federal machine.
A major portion of them have already shaken the
dust from Alaska from their feet, and those w^ho have
not, have functioned as they were told.
Now that we have a Glass in the Treasury Depart
ment maybe we’ll get a little light on howT his predeces
sors managed to empty it.
Business should come in on the hoof now that a man
named Roper is head of the Commerce Department.
H w’ould have been more appropriate to have named
Mr. Hull to the secretaryship of the national treasury.
Mr. Roosevelt evidently chose Secretary of the In
terior Ickes to assure himself that the Interior depart
ment clicks.
They have appointed a woman Secretary of Labor.
Just w^ait until somebody sweeps the trash under a rug!
Wouldn’t it be better to give Andy Mellon the Treas
ury and the government take a 20 per cent cut on what
he gets out of it?
Since it was agreed that Alaska timber is not suited
for crossties, it developes it is being reserved for wood
peckers.
Paishekoupienmen is reported to have fallen to h o
Japanese with heavy losses. It's a wonder it did not hi!I
the entiic Japanese army.
Next to again being president it is said Mr. F
ver’s ambition is to be dishwasher on an air-liner
pull the plug to the sink as he passes over the capit a
No, that wasn’t a Chinese broadcast station we h
the other night. It was “J. P.” broadcasting the Ch
Japanese war over KFQD.
NEARLY HALF STATES
IN UNION TAKE STEPS
FINANCIAL PROTECTION
SEATTLE, Wash., March 4, —
Twenty-three states have now
taken protective steps of one sort
or another writh regards to banks
and their depositors.
The action ranged from holidays,
mandatory or optional, to legisla
tion giving banks power to limit
withdrawals if it deemed it neces
sary.
Eight more states yesterday de
clared moratoriums or holidays;
these were Texas, Washington, Ore
gon, Idaho, Arizona, Nevada, Utah
and Wisconsin.
At Washington, D.C., the situa- j
tion is receiving the close atten-1
tion of Senator Robinson of Ark
ansas who, after confering with
Democrat Senators, and with
Roosevelt, said: “A definite state
ment on the banking situation
and other matters will be forth-!
coming in the near future.”
Authoritative quarters reported
Mr. Hoover, yesterday, was ready
to issue a statement or send a |
message to Congress centering on I
banking conditions and remedies, j
In the great money centers of I
New York and Chicago, as well as
other sections of the country, bus
iness went on untroubled by the
difficulties elsewhere in many
states where holidays were declar
ed or restrictive action had been
taken.
Bank officials said their institu
tions must be protected against
unnecessary withdrawals from re
percussions from other sections.
MUST MONEY RITE
SUCE DECEMBER
NEW YORK, March 4,—After
rallying sharply just before nocn
stocks turned quiet on the New
York Stock Exchange and in lace
dealings lost about half the ex- j
treme gains of one to nearly five'
points. j
After renewing at 2 and one- j
half percent, money jumped to 4,
percent and shortly before closing j
at the highest rate since Decern- ’
ber; 1930, offerings were compara-!
tively scarce.

chorage yesterday from Mrs. Maud
Morris asking that the body of
Pilot E. E. “Ted” Morris, who was
