Public Works and Road Building in the Times!
of Industrial Depression
By ARTHUR WOODS, President's Conf >-ence on Unemployment.
■ ^<Tri ZS^SHSZJ CJ 2a"<ii"=Sc3 cic-: Li" ci tScS £525
Public works and road building in the time* of
industrial depression has long been an expedient to
relit\e tlie hardships of such pt-riods. There is, of j
cour«-\ no cure for unemployment except employment;
terwi.iiu{ else is a makeshift, a palliative. If, thera
public works can in1 increased as private industry |
decrease. a part of the trough of depression can par
haps be tilled up. I
It would clearlv brins; about no real improvement I
:i t sit iturn if public projects were started sinipl) j
•>r : - -e of providing j<>■ s. and if the work accom- I
posited were uoi ui s»in<r uttii »uiuc w i«c w,. r .
*• r*. which dit - tint result 1x1 an increase of things peop!« need, would
prove simply a boon rrang w a means of relieving unemployment. Work :
tiiat does not add !■ tlie store of needed tilings, that cannot be paid for
by mhat it creates, i» ... , ie «t:<i destructive ra'.aer than creative.
The movement durin,' the winter toward the construction of high
ways, the builduii: >f briilvr»'- nd the erection of public works has been
unprecedented :a '• mi- 'i •• .-uVs of municipal bonds for public works
i»i ll'-.'1 were about double those of any previous year, and nearly three
times the amount of those for anv -.ear l« -re the war. In Septeuitier (
the total sales of munic:rat bonds throughout the country amounted to j
$86.4TT,16i. In October the figure rose to $113,78?,930; and in Novern-!
b-.r it wa- <t 17.".'til : v. i!e in Dei-ember it reached the unprecedented
amount of $910.S1!'..V*4.
It is well to do, in when ordinary business ha* slowed up,1
public works which are neci -ary, which must be done anyway within a
few months or a year.
But no matter how successful such efforts are to alleviate thera,1
the#e recurring depressions are intoleisble. They must be prevented, ii
there s a \y ti it. t r the heavy pri<-e is paid in the suffering and
a ,'u -h of our fellow cr . as; tiie strain comes upon those least able to
bear it. I
It was for this rcn--:; •' it the Conference on Unemployment called
by the President detenu': ed • it. t"-:dc> trying to help meet the enter
geucy of this w.ater. it «• make a vigorous and sustained effort,
starting r:_-ht new. to tr 1 out the . a;i»vs of industrial depressions
and to devise ways and :• f.ms to prevent or mitigate them. This study

shall not have to face such <-i':i:r tie* in the future.

number of pareiits and Interested

scnolars merited more thau casual
mention. Tlie boys in the manual
department had sorue fine pieces of
work: the art. essays and domestic
science features were much appre
ciated by the parents, the displays
of ci^ss room work revealed faith
ful and painstaking work on the
part ot the teachers and the schol
ars.
Four prizes were given out in the
gymnasium. The history prize con
sisted of twenty-five dollars in casn.
This was awarded to Evangeline
Uasmuscn for her essay on Wran
gell. Originally there was to be but
t.ie one prize, but the essays were of
such a high order that it was felt
by the donor tnal a second prize of
$10 should also be given. This was
awarded to Vivian Phelps for her
essay ou ike Tlilmgit Indians. These
prizes were limited to the scholars
in the High School department.
The art prize of ten dollars was
awarded to Marjorle Goding of the
Third grade. Her work in art was

names of the Judges in each case.
The last prize was that awarded
by the Territory In the National
Safety Contest. This consisted of
$15 in gold and a gold medal. Ken
neth Blanchard's essay was given
first place in this contest, and his es
say will go in as cne of the essays
in the national contest.

MaKe This Your 1922 Slogan
"Try The Home Market First"
As a Northerner, a Flotieer, an Upbullder of Alaska, yon ar»
peeved every time you hear of the appointment of a "carpetbagger"
to fill one of the political offices of the territory, because yos know
that there are capable and efficient men living In the territory who
could fill the offices with perfect satisfaction, who are helping to
build up the territory and make It a worth while place in which to
live.
Is Is a parallel case when Northerners tend their money out
side for supplies that may be bought right here at home and give
better satisfaction than the "carpetbagger" stuff Imported from the
Slates. < m
Is It not a fact that we are ail working to bclld np the North
to make it a worth-while place In which to live, and by "trying yoar
home market first" you are strengthening the foundation for that
building?
Here's A Suggestion For A Starter
