WORKING UNDER A HANDICAP
Regardless of the political demagoguary which has
for years practically paralyzed Alaska, some capital is
being invested though there is a certain lack of confi
dence in the Territory owing to its management by the
Heinz bureaus. The possibility of some freak-fool law be
ing enacted (to quote Senator Borah) “to satisfy the
whims of some political demagogue” has driven much
capital elsewhere and leaves Alaska groaning under her
burden of struggle for advancement.
This sort of thing is most disastrous in states and
and territories which have great natural advantages and
resources, but lacks capital of its own with which to devel
op^ them. Not only in Alaska but in many of the states
this condition exists. But few restrictions should govern
Alaska’s resources and those who seek to utilize them.
The woman who invented the doctrine of alimony
might envy Mrs. Bessie Arnold of New York. Bessie was
recently awarded alimony in the sum of $33,333.33 a year,
which her husband, a broker, has been ordered to pay.
A distinguished editor once said: “The true secret
of editing is to know what to put in the waste basket.”
That goes for a good many things in this life.
CLEARING HOUSE AIDS BANKING EFFICIENCY
In an unassuming downtown building (above) shad
owed by skyscrapers, is the New York Clearing House,
which expedites the business of its 28 member banks and
at the same time fosters a spirit of unity among the
banks which in times of stress has proved the nation’s
financial salvation.

BEAVER BECOMES ALLY
OF STATE’S FISHERMEN
; OLYMPIA, Wn„ Jan., 23. (.Pi
Game officials and sportsmen have
j banded together in Washington to
!,nake on al!,y of the beaver and
thru him realize the fisherman’s
ideal enunciated by Herbert Hoover
when he declared for “more fish
in proportion to the water” and a
shortening of “time between bites”.
At the. same time the plan, term
ed “past the experimental stage ’
by Biological Survey offcials, is
saving farmers along meadowland ;
streams much annoyance.
Organized groups of sportsmen
cooperating with game commis
sioners have trapped large num
bers of the furry creatures and
transported them by automobile
and packhorse to the heads of
mountain streams. Some have been
moved from sea levels to altitudes
of 2,900 feet without noticable ill
effects
