TERRITORIAL NEGLECT. .

If th« Territory is to cnotirnie to

tiifiers, and a-pension fund for those
w'ro have not yet become-wholly de
pendent trpon the .Territory,. action
should be.taken by -the next legisla
ture to provide adequate accommoda
tions for those who are eligible to,
<wrter the home and sufficient funds
fits, thole whorare entitled to receive,
persons. And. in the event of a re
currence of. conditions such, as exist
at:the present time^.authority should
bVidelegated-to someone to make pro
vision for the temporary relief of.
oldtsmer* wbu are found to be in ur
gent- neediof assistance.
AzKoldbijtbtr of Anchorage, entitled
todall the benefits prescribed by the
Irffitlatuae for. .aged residents of the
Tctritoryj., made application for. ad
mission to the home last September
and wag informed-that there was no
momrfbr him-. He was sick and is
destitute eircumapuices, but ail he
askecUwam (the opportunity to spend
the remainder of the winter at. the
hoftie, confident, that he wcrald recover
hid, health. and- bd -able to return to
hid fishing ?Jn thespring. Friends
^'«adhat .he. did. not go hurigry: and,
provided fuel f orAris cabin,. buti they .
?oukk'vuot give him the* attention, .he*
would have received at She home: He *
was .alone in hislicabim much of the
tintd, wad bet'weeer visits of those who

died—no one tnoom-exactly bento Pert-,
haps. he! was taken quickly;: penhaps
helwould have gone a* soon ifih*.*had

possibility thatohe fell to thet floor of

Such things should not be permitted
to occur while there is money in the
territorial treasury to prevent it. If
the present home is not large enough
to accommodate those who need its
care,, provision should be made for a
new institution, or at least a branch
home at some point where.it wil be 1
accessible. In t’,.. meantime, a way!
should be found i are for emer-1

funds in the. treasuryrto meet all such.J

“Wo have the.*, greatest country in
the world,” proudly declared Charles
M. Schwab, in a review of conditions
for the Associated Press at the com
mencement of the..New; Yean. There
is nothng beyond .the power, of of
achievement, with intelligent effort,
a feeling of .humility and with faith .
in one.another. At .no time in hist? .
ory have the people of the entire
nation, enjoyed the prosperity preva
lent in the United States today..
“At too time have people dressed
of the universal use. of luxuries which
we accept as .our.birthright. Our
material prosperity ip astounding^ so
remarkable in fact, .that business
men are coming from all parts of the
wurm bu siuuy uui uicuiuus.
still have many.problems before ns...
“Our very prosperity makes foreign
manufacturers cast .envious, eyes. at..
euromarkets. .To maintain our mar*,
kets and our prepent high wages with
reasonable profits for raanafaclurers
are must realize efficiency and. eco
nomics upon a. progressive scale, not
merely in .production, bat on marketing
methods as well.” !
