CAPITALIZING CALAMITY
It took the World War to give marvelous stimula
tion to science. The depression was necessary to halt a
nation rushing onward to moral decadence under the
false impression that everyone could have their cake and
at the same time eat it.
It takes the same depression throughout the.world
to awaken mankind to the fact that a too inelastic and
precious standard of values is responsible ior the ine
quality of distribution of the world's wealth and the
agency thru which small groups of men hold entire na
tions in their grip.
The announcement from Washington that a move
ment is contemplated to secure the sanction of the na
tions of the world to bimetallism in some workable form
promises to settle a question which has long been a bone
•of contention and even the cardinal plank in political
platforms.
Accepting the axiom that somebody's loss is anoth
er’s gain, the West and all those regions producing sil
ver will be the beneficiaries of this more elastic coin
age. The influence will reach as far as Alaska and go
far toward hastening its mineral development.
At 50c per ounce many rich silver prospects of the
Kantishna may be operated. Gold mines with silver as
a by-product will feel the stimilus of the advanced price.
Those regions whose chief resource is metals, and es
peciallv gold, will feel the double effect of higher prices
for the white metal and greater value for their gold.
With the remonetization of silver should come a
reissuing of each nation’s gold at a higher price. With
25 per cent added, all European countries could pay
their obligations to the United States and have a margin
left. The $11,000,000,000 owing the United States would
be acceptable in the new international coinage value and
each dollar of it would lighten the nation’s tax burden.
While Gandhi is raising a rumpus to gain recogni
tion for India's 60,000,000 untouchables, President Roos
evelt is staying awake nights trying to protect the na
tion’s touchables from the touchers.
Thus far we have not heard of the 5 and 10 selling1

(By E. L. Bartlett)
WASHINGTON, D. C., May 6.—
A wire from the Fairbanks City
Council requested Delegate Di
mond to appeal to the Reconstruc
tion Finance Corporation in the
hope that the corporation would
purchase $50,000 worth of the $98,
000 bond issue which Fairbanks
proposes to use to build a school
to replace the one destroyed by fire
early in the morning of December
4. The matter was immediately
taken up with R. F. C. officials, but
it was learned that the terms of the
R. F. C. act prohibit the organiza- i
ticn from making loans of any I
character on public projects where j
the money to pay for them comes j
from taxation.
Howrever. Senator Wagner of New
York has introduced a bill, whichj
is now in committee .pro- j
viding that municipal projects!
shall not have to be self-liquidat- j
ing in order to obtain R. F. C. j
funds. Officials of the R. F. C. were !
of the opinion that if this legisla- J
tion passes, the Fairbanks project;
might properly come within its
scope. This will probably not be
of much assistance where the need
is for an early start of construc
tion.

Employees of the Alaska Road'
Commission who were improperly |
placed on the Civil Service register
i and who have encountered delays
! in securing refunds of the amounts
they had paid in toward pensions,
are now receiving their checks.
’Several letters were written
i to the Delegate urging him to ex- j
■ pedite the matter. The facts were |
placed before the Civil Service i
Commission and the Interior De-1
partment, with the result that it1
was promised the checks would be i
sent out in time to connect with j
the April 29 steamer.
A caller at the Delegate’s office j
during the past week was Col. W. J
L. Stevenson, who is thoroughly |
entitled to call himself a sour-!
dough. Colonel Stevenson now!
managing director of the Canadi- i
an Exploration Syndicate, a big,
mining concern, was in Alaska I
in 1887 as a member of the Hy- !
drographer and geodetic survey on i
the old survey Ship McArthur.
Later, in the days of the gold rush,
he returned north and was in the
Porcupine River country, the Idita
rod, Portage Bay and many other
sections. He resided for some time j
at Skagway. Colonel Stevenson I
left Alaska in 1915. He and his I
wife were in Washington briefly)
en route to England, to which
country he makes several trips a
year.

James H. Fehse, assistant chief
clerk of the railway mail service
at Seattle, and George Marchand,
chief of the service for South
western and Interior Alaska, have
been in the city conferring with
Postoffice Department officials re-1
lative to Alaska mail contracts.
A number of star route contracts
' will expire before long and new
I bids will be called for.

An Alaskan visiting Annapolis
will find a sizeable group from the
homeland in the quaint little Ma
ryland city. There is James Cli
mie, son of Mr. and Mrs. James
Clinic of Anchorage, who is pro
gressing well in his studies at the
United States Naval Academy.
Also there is James McCauley, now
in his first year at the academy. A
third Alaskan at the historic in
stitution is Henry Miller, son of
Mr. and Mrs. Frank Miller of Fair
banks. He is a second-classman
and will graduate next year. Lieu
tenant William Nolan, who left
Valdez in 1917 and whose parents
continue to reside there, is taking
post-graduate work at Annapolis.
He is married and has two children.
Also living there are Lieutenant
and Mrs. Thomas H. Tonseth and
their young son, Tom, Jr. Lieu
tenant Tonseth, formerly of Fair
banks, is in the post-graduate
school. In June he will be trans
ferred to Washington for a year’s
tour of duty in the Bureau of Nav
igation.
A bill has been introduced in the
House by Representative McCor
mack which would authorize the
Reconstruction Corporation to
make loans to aid the fishing in
dustry. The bill would amend Sec
tion 5 of the R. F. C. act by adding
the following paragraph after the
first paragraph of the. section:
The corporation is authorized i
and empowered to make loans un
der this section, as amended, to
any association or corporation or
ganized under the laws of any
state, the District of Columbia,
Alaska, Hawaii or Porto Rico, for
the purpose of engaging in the
business of fishing, or fishing and
fish packing, to aid in financing
such business, upon the same
terms and conditions, and subject
to the same limitations as are ap
plicable in the case of loans made
under the first paragraph of this
section, as amended.”
