THAT PESKY CONGRESS AGAIN
Congress is assembling on the firing lines. Several
hundred men and a few women 'gather in Washington to
fight over three great issues even if it takes until after
Christmas. The issues are taxreduction, flood control
arid farm relief. Armaments will come in for appropria
tions, but if Congress would divert its appropriations
along national defense lines from guns and ammunitions
to fighting floods and fighting farm mortgages there
might be greater reasons for such appropriations. De
fense is a worthy cause, but too many job-holders trans
late defense into aggression.
Anyhow, we’re strong for the Congressmen. If we
didn’t have any Congressmen we wouldn’t have anything
to kick about. Neither would we have any postmasters,
and imagine a town without a postmaster.
Congress iis like a lot of children: it is all right when
its asleep. When its awake it spends too much of the
people’s money. Laws are one of two things:they are
either all right or they were passed as experiments. Ifi
they are all light they ought to be left alone. If they are
experiments they never should have been passed.
Love is an irresistible force that sometimes meets
with an immovable object.
LAST CALL FOR BONUS '
More than half a million veterans of the World War
have so far failed to apply for their adjusted compensa
tion, popularly known as the “bonus,” under the law en
acted for their benefit. Unless they apply on or before
January 1, their rights will be forfeited.
More than 3,100,000 veterans have already applied!
for the compensation provided, which is paid in cash
where the amount due is $50 or less, or by a paid-up insur
ance policy in cases in which the bonus-exceeds that
amount.
Service officers of American Legion Posts, officials
of the Veterans Bureau, certain representatives of the
Bed Cross and others will gladly assist ex-service men in
preparing and filing their applications, so that no one
need forfeit his adjusted compensation thru lack of secur
ing it.
The WTar Department desires that every man entitled j
to the benefit of the law may receive it, and all who have;
not filed their applications are urged to do so immediate-;
ly. This is the last call.
Congress, as a whole, will meet. Congressmen, indi
vidually, will meet with opposition. /
According to a report, factories are now making or
preparing to make more airplanes than automobiles. Just
another field opening up for the instalment hounds.
If the professional reformers would adopt an eight
hour day, the rest of the country could live 16 hours a
day in peace.
Some up-to-date progressive political party, looking
for an issue, might well seize upon the proposed 13-month
calendar.
A tax-cut always heals quickly.
After all, maybe Chicago’s underworld is not made
up of thugs and bandits, but some of Mayor Thompson’s
“minute-men” practicing up for another revolutionary
war.
We can’t see the sense in all this fuss about jury
tampering, when the great national sport of tampering
with our law-makers goes on undisturbed.

NOVEMBER ISSUE OF THE
FOLLY IS OFF THE PRESS
!
The Seward Folly for November is
off the 'press today and compared to
the first number, last month, is a
Wliow!. The Seward high school pa
per this month is a six pager and is
“chuck-a-block” with interesting items
aside from the regular school notes
and stories. *
Editor John Petaja and his able
staff have set a mark in Alaskan
school papers which will be difficult
[to surpass. If you haven's seen a co
py yet purchase one and get the sur
prise of your life. You will agree that
the effort put forth deserves consid
erable praise.
In addition to th6 splendid material
in the paper there is an excellent
photograph of the girls basketball
team on the front page. This alone is
worth the price of admission.

There are 14 girls enrolled in the
cooking class of the Kodiak school.
