WHO PAYS FOR THIS?
Hardly a mail is dispatched in Alaska but contains a
Jarge percentage of envelopes dispensed by the Govern
ment in competition with the printing offices of the Terri
tory. It hardly can be called competition for these enve
lopes are sold for less than cost to the Government, as are
many other things dispensed over Uncle Sam’s bargain
counter.
Hardly a mail arrives from the States that is not
about two per cent governmental bulletins. Among the
latest of these is the bulletin on “Canal Boat Children.”
The man who buys government envelopes below costs
believes he is beating the game. When his tax bill arrives
he kicks like a mule. It is here that he is paying and at
the same time defeating his own business.
Thi s principle applies wherever the Government
sticks its proboscis into private affairs. Whenever the
bill for this Government loss is presented to Congress it
simply passes an appropriation to make up the deficit.
Many people sit and wait for the final fructification
of this pernicious quasi-socialism. It is here now. The
nation is called upon to go deeper into its pocket to supply
more cash for these profligate politicians to squander.
The politicians who are now busy telling us how to
bring back prosperity might take time to reflect that one
way to bring prosperity to the local printer would be to
give him a chance to pursue his business without govern
ment competition,
Adjusting supply to demand is a hard job. A Penn
sylvania man sat on his front porch with a rifle and shot
at every man who passed, and a citizen of New York tried
to fall asleep on the brink of Niagara Falls, in the hope
that he might fall in and be drowned.
Intelligence tests for voters are proposed in a mid
western state. The authorities may have had to deal with
the man who looked over the election returns and remark
ed that although Smith and Brown each had a lot of votes,
Total was elected.
Speaking of carving totem poles in the States, if fam
ily legends are correctly incorporated, where outside of
the giant sequoia will they find a tree big enough to ac
comodate a high-life matrimonial record?
An extensive vocabulary enables us to expose our ig
norance more convincingly.
Optimism is a fine thing, but we have observed tha
more optimists than pessimists land in the poor house.
Rudimentary gills have been found in the throat of a
New York man. Perhaps a former Wall Street bull.

Possibly the reason why the fleet
has been ordered to remain on the

TURKEY OUT OF OLYMPICS
ANGORA, Turkey, June 8. (JP)—
Turkey will not participate in the
1932 Olympics at Los Angeles. The
final decision was made when sport
leaders failed to raise $18,000 need
ed to finance a team. The govern
ment had no money to spare, and
there were no private concerns
I able to bear the expense.
