HOOVER’S POLICIES
During his first few months in office President
Hoover has taken several steps which begin to mark i
the outline his national policies, at the same time in- j
dicating that he is to be an executive of prompt decision.
First, he announced that no more government
oil lands will be leased during his administration, un- j
less directed by congress. He believes too much oil is
beine produced and he wishes to curtail the output.
Then he directed that all income tax refunds* in
excess of $20,000 shall be given publicity. This step is
expected to avert much criticism such as has been voic- i
ed in the past.
He has frankly supported the constituted Mexican
government in its effort to put down the present revolu
tion. This is distinct contrast to a former “watchful
waiting” policy.
Appointments to the board to investigate criminal
procedure and law enforcement are awaited with in
terest; President Hoover will be more deliberate in this
matter, in the hope of selecting able and impartial men
in whom the countrv has confidence. He is already on
record as to farm relief.
So far, from the average Alaskan’s observations, it:
appears that the new administration is making a favor
able impression.
FIGURES ON KILLERS
-o
An interesting, though somewhat perplexing set ofj
figures is that compiled each year by Dr. F. L. Hoffman, j
a leading insurance statician, showing the number of j
homicides occurring in various cities of the United
States.
Figures for 1928 were recently made public, cover-!
ing- about 36.00,000 inhabitants of 136 cities. Among
individual cities Memphis leads in killings with 60.5
per 100.000, whle the rate for Los Angeles was only
4.7. Of the territorial possessions Alaska was the lowest
with less than a half-dozen for its approximately 50,000
inhabitants. Chicago’s rate w^as only 15.8 and New
York’s w*s far below the country’s average, being but
6.7 per 100,000 inhabitants.
Dr. Hoffman estimates that in the whole United
States there were about 12,000 homicides in 1928. while
probably less than 200 killers were executed. Which il
lustrates that murder is a fairly safe occupation, so far
as danger of the death penalty is concerned.
Western college editors have agreed to raise their
publications to a standard in keeping with collegiate
dignity. Whatever that is.
We get some fine pointers concerning pronunciation
from radio announcers and speakers. Chiefly concern- )
ing how not to do it.
Stone Mountain will be a lasting memorial of the
Civil War, also of a longer war over its carving.
Chicago master barbers plan to raise the price of a
hair-cut to 31. Can nothing be done to check banditry
in that town?
