THEY GET GOOD BUTTEK.
The Navy Department has just
awarded ita contract for butter for
Uncle Sam's bluejackets. The to
tal was 725,000 pounds—and it is
interesting to note that probably
few American families will have as
good spreading for their bread as
the sailors.
Uncle Sam demands the best.
Sailors are cranky about their but
ter. Iu the old days when the
bluejacket was given anything the
market afforded bis complaints
were so insistent that a plan was
adopted that gives him about the
befit butter money can buy.
Although annually purchased in
lots of half a million to a million
pounds, the government pays from
three to five cents over the market
price in order to get c-bwlutely
chemically pura butter that will
stand alike the frigid temperature
of the Arctic and the blistering
hcc.t of the tropics without spoiling.
After being packed In five pound
tins, the Navy butter is put in
cold storage and held at zero
temperature until it is taken out
in carloads to supply the sliips. It
is for this special preparation and
packing that the increased price is
pakl.
Navy officials insist the butter
is the finest In the world. On
one occasion a test was made to
show just what this butter can
stand. A product which tested 95
per cent "was kept in storage eight
months and then sent to Cuban
waters, with instructions that it
was not to be kept on ice, but
packed with usual ship stores. After
six months in this shape the butr
ter, then molted to oil, was again
put in cold storage and then test
ed by the department of Agricult
ure. It testd S8 per cent—and
this after fourteen months of cold
and heat. I
Men of Might In Finance Leading In
Adjustments That Are Pending
By Secretary of Commerce WILLIAM C. REDFIELD
OR ABOUT TWENTY YEARS THE BUSINESS ATMOSPHERE HAS
BEEN FILLED WITH ADJECTIVES. INTERESTS HAVE BEEN
CALLED "PREDATORY" AND "GRASPING." CORPORATIONS
ARE SAID TO HAVE BEEN "MONOPOLISTIC." WE HAVE HEARD
OF THE -POWERS THAT PREY." A VERITABLE ARSENAL OF
VERBAL ATTACK HAS BEEN CREATED, AND THE PROJECTILE
VALUES IN LANGUAGE HAVTE BEEN USED TO THE FULL. A
WORD OF SUCH HIGHLY RESPECTABLE ANTECEDENTS AS
"TRUST* HAS DESCENDED FROM ITS ANCIENT ESTATE, AND ES
PECIALLY IN ITS PLURAL FORM IS USED FOR THAT WHICH IS
HELD INDUSTRIALLY UNJUSTIFIABLE.
It would be interesting, indeed, to trace the effect upon our language
of the public discussion of commercial themes in recent years. It must
be confessed that the combatants have DEALT LARGELY IN
ABUSE as -well as argument and that the STRUGGLE HAS NOT
ALWAYS SHOWN ACCURATE KNOWLEDGE either of the prin
ciples of industry or of the righteous obligations of business to the
public.
Too much perhaps there has been the1 spirit on one side that "what is
is wrong" and the assertion on the other .hand that "what is is right."
Big business has often failed to see that its methods have aroused :i
JUST POPCLAJi RESENTMENT and that niiffiy of its past ideals
and purposes were impossible and intolerable in a democracy. The
men of financial and corporate power have had to learn that the WEAL
OF THE WHOLE PEOPLE IS A SUPREME LAW to which their
private interests must obedienily bow.
THE BUSINESS CONSCIENCE HAS ITSELF AWAKENED TO A
REALIZATION OF WHONGS COMMITTED IN THE NAME AND ON
THE ALLEGED BEHALF OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY AND WILL
TOLERATE THOSE WRONGS NO MORE. EVEN THE MEN OF
MIGHT IN FINANCE ARE BECOMING MEN OF LIGHT AND LEADING
IN THE NECESSARY ADJUSTMENTS THAT ARE PENDING. THE
BUSINESS CONSCIENTIOUSNESS IS BECOMING LESS INDIVIDUAL
AND MORE 80CIAL.
TAKES SPECIAL ACT
FOR SKAGWAY ROAD
The proposed opening ol the old
Bracket! road from Skagway to the
Canadian boundary at the summit
of White Pass is temporarily held
up by an apparent dead lock be
tweeeu the Department of Justice
and Delegate James Wickereham
and because there is no money to
fake an immediate survey of the
proposed road. The Department of
Justice, which has been negotiat
ing for the release of the old fran
chise for the Brackett road held by
the White Pass & Yukon, direct
ed District Attorney John Rustgard j
to start proceedings to revoke the
franchise but subsequently asked
Mm to delay proceedings pending
the negotiations referred to, and.
aske-i him to have a survey of the
route made. 1
Mr. Rustgard advised the De
partment that there were no funds
available for making the desired
survey and also advised Delegate
vVickersham stating that a special
appropriation from Congress would
be necessary for building the road.
The Attorney General's office
wai ts the survey made first so
tbr>t it can advise the Alaska Del
egate to I Congress and Delegate
W'ckersham has writteu Mr. Rust
gard that he feels disinclined to
introduce any measure in Congress
for the road before receiving in
structions from the Department of
Justice as to what is wanted.—Em

MEXICAN SKACWAY
I GAME IX CARTOONS
Douglas, March 25.—Vic Sparks,
a member of the Skagway basket
ball team that recently visited on
Gastineau channel, has sent to
Leslie Formaii of the Mexican
team a series of fine cartoons of
the members of the two teams
and little incidents that happened
in the game.
Mr. Sparks is clever with his
pencil and the pictures are well
worth a frame. The pictures were
sent with the compliments of the
White Pass Athletic club as an
appreciation of a good time given
them at Treadwell.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Owing to the density of the smoke
during the fire at the Daily Alas
kan office last week, the one who
loaned1 me a pocket knife was not
recognizable. If he will make bis
identity known, I shall be glad .to
restore to him his property.
