According to a Treasury Depart
ment announcement in connection
wiih tiie present Victory Loan drive,
this will be the last Liberty Loan to
b«* called for by tin* government unless
unfi.rscen conditions develop. This
does not mean, of course. that the
government will not continue borrow
ing money t" liquidate the debts in
pa i r.v. but the present loan, save for
the possible unforseen contingency al
ready referred to, will be the last or
the so called popular loans direct to
the public. A telegram from the Ter
ritorial Victory Loan headquarters
reaching the local banking Institut
ons defines the future loan contempla
tions of the government as follows.
The statement quoted from a Treas
ury bulletin issued over the signature
of Secretary of the* Treasury Glass,
the successor of Mr. M. Adoo. The
statement reads:
■ In fixing the terms of the issue,
the treasury has been guided by th-j
desire to devise a security which will
not only prove attractive to the people
of the country in the first instance,
but the terms of which should insure
a good market for the notes after the
campaign is over and identical price**
for the two series and should not af
fect injuriously the mark, t for the ex
isting bonds of the liberty loans. This
will be the last liberty loan, although
as the remaining war bills are pre
sented further borrowing must be done,
and f anticipate that the requirements
of the government in excess of the
a mount of taxes and other income can
in view of the decreasing scale of ex
penditure bo readily financed by ‘he
issue of treasury certificates from
time to time as heretofore, which may
be ultimately refunded by the issue ol
notes or bonds without the aid -of an
other popular campaign, such as has
characterized the liberty loans. 1 am
sure that the people of America will
| subscribe to this Victory Loan in the
same spirit of patriotism which
they have shown in the pasl
to the end that the notes may be
as widely distributed as possible and
that our banking institutions may be
left free to supply the credit necessary
for the purpose of industry, and com
merce and the full employment of lab
or. Let the world see that the patriot*
.-.mrccs and with the same enthusiasm
nrt devotion to country with which
they prosecuted the war to a victori
• >: conclusion are determined to fin
ish the job.”
Ender orders recently received, the
Lol Cross relief donation, amounting
jb* a total of $11,547,39, which was ir
c« :.tly granted for lied Cross relief
I v o.-k in connection with tho Influenza
|epidemic, under the stipulation that it
should be devoted to expenses incuv
vi d in caring for orphans arn^ destit
tito natives subsequent to Janua-v
U4J*!i. is being paid out to those hold
ing vouchers attested by the Red Cross
committee appointed fur that purpose.
Tt- avoid misapprehensions, however,
it must be understood that this distri
bution of relief funds docs not cover
tin) portion of the influenza expense
bills sent out by the Bureau of Edu
cation on the last mail. The Red
(.’toss money covers the costs of caring
lot the natives of Teller and Wales,
together with the care of orphans here
and also the sick natives treated at the
Lynch hospital, the expenses of which
were incurred after January 26th, the
jdate designated by the national Red
(’•ess society. The money has been
lapimrtioned in the following manner.
Hospital expenses. $1595; cure of or
phr ns $2340; supplies $2448.89; road
house expenses. $214,50: freighting,
$2313,10; guide and team hire. $160*
lei or, (burial of natives) $1920; labor,
(cook) $500; traveling expenses (Sunt.
Evans) $78,50; office expenses. $1,50.
Total $11,547,49.
The vouchers covered by the above
apportionments liave been approved
by the Red Cross representative A. B.
Miller, and by Acting superintendent
Evans of the Bureau of Education,
under whoso direction most of the ex
jienses for native care were incurred.
Ta" bills have also been checked by
ti:e Alaska Bank, acting under In
structions from Governor Biggs, and
are being paid by that institution
A letter from David Fox to Chas.
dated at New York City January
states that the former Nomeite har
1 < en informed that the owners of the
I’angor Creek dredge have decided to
discontinue operations on that creek.
Mr. Fox says it appears that they
have not been making much money
during the more recent periods of op
eration. He states, however, that he
i* n<> longer connected with the com
u .ny in any way and possesses no
authentic information regarding their
contemplations. Referring to the lab
or situation, Mr. Fox says: ‘‘The de
gree of unemployment is increasing
rapidly. One serious feature could be
obviated if the government discharged
each indlvduual soldier only at his
home place. Too many of the hoys
arc hr..ling the big cities attractive,
and i bar that there will be economic
trouble partis* '»n accourt «»f this.
While Woodrow Wilson is abroad,
* * + * * the conditions here
are growing daily worse. There are
immense stocks of commodities on
hand The army purchased for the
•soldiers 175 million pieces of under
wear. 172 million pairs of socks, and
ail other things in proportion—shoes,
rubber boots, c lothing of various kinds.
Some crazy buying, isn't it? Now
they don't know what to do with it.
Food the same way. There are 90 mil
lion hogs in the country (in addition
to the two legged ones.) The normal
number is about 50 million. And pork
Trices are still sky high. They are
rushing shipbuilding at prices three
or four times as high per ton as i: '
costs in England and there is no pres
ent plan as to how the ships are to b* \
t’sed.
As for tlie members of the adminis- |
tration still left in Washington, and al
so abroad, the less said about them
the better. It is sufficient to say that
a more disgusted lot than the business
men of New York could not be found.
T notice in this morning's paper that
Secretary Baker has released 109 ''con
scientious objectors” and given them
back pay of $33,5000, also a new suit
of clothing and transportation back
home. Nice ! ! ! * • • *We
go dry here, too, after July 1st. Its un
oulrn go, because not one in ten here
wants it that way. But Its now “the
land of the freak and the home of the
knave,” anyway. Mr. Fox states that
himself and family had the Flu but
happily escaped from serious conse
quences.
