WHO HAS THE MONEY
Hardly was the ink dry on the
bill creating $2,122,000,000 relief
for unemployment when 15 States
made application for $33,450,000.
Among these is Pennsylvania which
leads applicants in asking for
the full amount available to any!
one state, $45,000,000.
Simultaneous with creating this
additional dole from the Federal j
government a sales tax is enacted
whereby this sum and additional
sums must be paid into the treasury j
by the people, the actual physical
sufferers from want and unemploy
ment.
It is remarkable that the Federal
administration has not sought to
inform the people as to who has the
money which has been withdrawn
from industry and why they are
not using it for the purpose of cre
ating employment. Again, why has
not the Administration sought to
force this money back into the
trade channels, but on the other
hand doled out $2,000,000,000 for
further stock gambling. That this
charge is not unfair is shown in the
alacrity with which the dealers of
the Wall Street game rushed in to
reopen and lure more dupes into
their toils.
All these sums being doled out of
the Treasury must be repaid or we
are bankrupt nationally. The man j
who can hardly keep food in his
home is the one who must pay it.
Apparently the nation is riding
upon a bubble. By this act of clos
ing avenues of unemployment mil
lions of men are brought to the po
sition of endeavoring to exist in
idleness, and merely existing at
best.
Anything could burst the bubble.
The tendency tb take from those
least able to pay to create funds
means greater drains upon the in
dustrious, in the end the money re
turns whence it will again be hoard
ed on the hands of men who ap
parently do not care who suffers so
long as they can roll in luxury and
idleness.
It will be interesting to observe if
a people steeped in the traditions of
freedom and equality of opportun
ity will drift back to an age before
the establishing of the Republic of
the United States, or turn upon the
wolves who have devoured them.
The rainfall of Alaska varies
from 15 to 200 inches, so that there
are almost unlimited possibilities
in the development of water pow
er. With 26,000 miles of seacoast,
the annual harvest of fish alone is
now worth $50,000,000. Its glaciers
offer unparalleled, mountain scen
ery.
Thunder crashed in the moun
tains this morning when black
clouds clashed.
SAVE your money by having
your old shoes repaired. Every job
that is turned out by the SEWARD
LEATHER WORKS is made to
wear and look as near new as pos
sible.

Under the caption of “Bathing
on Alaska’s Sunny Coast,” the roto
gravure section of the Seattle Sun
day Times of August 21 contained
a two-column cut-in picture with
the following explanation: “Juneau
mermaids dispel the misconception
of some that the Northland is a
chilly place as they take a sun bath
at the ocen side.” The three mer
maids are shown on one of the rocks
on a Juneau beach.
Paul Redington, chief of the U. S.
Biological Survey, now in South
