RE ALASKAN RETRENCHMENTS
A1 Smith says: “ if aid is limited to revenue-pro
ducing improvements, then all such projects as highways
and practically all State and municipal improvements
will be excluded.
“Many of these improvements are truly productive,
«ven if they do not produce revenue. It is absurd to meas
ure the productiveness of an improvement by the amount
of revenue it brings in directly.”
While Mr. Smith’s utterances refer to ,the Hoover
program as it affects the United States, they might have
been applied to the Alaska Railroad and the road build
ing agencies in Alaska.
Whatever depression obtains in certain areas of the
Territory is directly traceable to the singling out of Alas
ka for retrenchment in urgent public works, especially
road building.
The greater part of the small sum available to the
Alaska Road Commission has been obligated for machin
ery and supplies for a program twice as large, hence
there will be little left for actual employment. Under the
old law the Commission was permitted to obligate up to
75 per cent of the previous year’s appropriation.
It was recently pointed out by an engineer of the
Commission that the Alaskan working man is probably in
point of resourcefulness and ability superior to any in the
world. Thus he is being crucified for his very virtues.
As matters now stand, it appears that it will cost
more in relief measures next winter than the amount
slashed from the road appropriations, for many men will
have been deprived of summer work and will enter the
'winter penniless.
The United States is not making much headway in
getting back the money which was loaned to Europe in
wartime, but it seems that Europe is getting a taste of
her own no-pay medicine, though perhaps in smaller dos
es than she prescribed for us. The post office report shows
that the amount sent across the pond from this country
during the past year, in the form of money orders, is less
than it has been for almost a decade.

ed to many her for 15 years, but didn’t. Alaskans are

THAT CITY SUNDAY
John M. Jackson, proprietor of
the Crystal baths at Anchorage, was
drowned in Otter lake Sunday af
ternoon, according to a broadcast
Monday evening from KFQD.
Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Jackson and
another woman were in a rowboat
paddling about the lake just before
the drowning occurred. When but
a short distance from shore, Mr.
Jackson thought he would swim
ashore and, having on a bathing
suit but still wearing his shoes, he
jumped in.
He took a couple of strokes, then
sank. He was never seen alive again.
The women were unable to go to
his assistance for when he leaped
into the lake the oars fell over
board.
The screams of the women at
tracted people nearby but it was
some time—at least a half hour
before the body was located and
carried ashore. He was attended by
Dr. J. H. Romig, of the Anchorage
hospital, who also was near the
lake, but all heart action had stop
ped.
HOLDING PRACTICES
The Seward baseball team plans
to engage the baseball team of the
USS. Discoverer in a game this
coming Fourth of July and have
begun holding practices. In previ
ous games this season the Seward
nine has always fallen by the way
side but it is believed ample mat
erial can be recruited and put
through practice paces to put up
a good game when they meet their
next opponents. A practice was held
last evening.
The USLHS. Cedar, of the Light
House Service, left Seward at an
early hour this morning on its an
n u a 1 voyage to Westward light
houses with provisions and sup
plies. The vessel has been in Se
ward for a couple of days refuel
ing for the Westward journey.
