Jl >EAtT REQUEST FOR SEAL
FUNDS WITHOUT RESUL
There are no net profits derive
, from the Alaska seal industry, an
if (here were the Territory woul
havp no legitimate claim .for any pai
of them. That is the assertion <
the administration as voiced by E. 1
Morgan .Acting Secretary of the Di
partment of Commerce, in respons
to the Juneau Chamebr’s resolutio
askjng for 50 per cent of the annul
netdneome from the sealing industr
to be turned over to the Territor
for the benefi of it- schools.
The Chamber’s letter to ‘Presider
Hoover upon the subject was turne
over to the Department ,of Commerc
for answer, and Mr. Morgan replie
in part as follows -
“As bearing upon 'his matter yo
are; advised that the net amount pai
intq the. Treasury of the Unite
Stages from this source in the las
two- fiscal years was considerably les
thap. the. total of expendiure

j turns for fur seal work were $349,
\ 268.41, while the total of receipts
i covered into the treasury of the
; United States was $237,991. Thus,
i the excess of expenditures over re
ceipts was $75,277,41. In the fiscal
year 1931 expenditures were S266,~
i 019.25, and the net receipts for the
, treasury only $96,248.65, which made
j the excess of exp nditures over re
ceipts iu that fiscal year $169,770.60.”
However ,if the reverse were the
case, and the Pribilof’s seal resources
were returning large dividends to the
Federal treasury, Alaska would have
no equity in it. Acting .•■, Secretary.
Morgan contends, saying:
“4fter careful consideration of the
foregoing and regardless of any other
factors that may be involved, the con
clusion has been reached that, as all
! expenses of administration of the
Pribilof Islands and of the protection
, of their resources are borne by the
[ j Federal Government, no sound rea
_ sons appear to exist as to why any
funds derived fro mthis source should
be made available to the Territorial
* Government of Alaska.”
j However, in a letter received by
^1 the Chamber, Delegate Wiekersham
said he had received the seal resolu
( tion, which he approved heartily and
j. assured the Chamber that he woujd
, use every effort to bring about the
desired allocation of funds.
e HENRY FORD LOSES MUFFLER.
(Stroller’s Weekly.)*
And now conies Henry Ford, with
I his throttle wide open■ and his muf
fler pone peluk. In common with all
other self-made men, Henry is prolix
d with advice but short on action. He
e has carefully studied the present eco
^ nomic crisis and issued an edict that
no man can work for Henry Ford
J who does not own, maintain, control
1 and otherwise conduct a garden. He
I believes that any man smart enough
* to swing the peeduckle onto the
s main shaft should b^able to work ih
s a garden after his relaxation in the*?
II factory
Too many city men beileve that a
garden is the salvation of mankind;
the ultima thuie of making a liveli
- hood. With turnip greens selling at
! 10 cents a peck and spuds fairly
; jumping out of the ground at the
. low price of 80 cents a sack, the man
lj who attempted to follow Henry
: Ford’s long, long trail would find
himself swamped before he got to
the first radish. It would take a
county larger than Wayne, in which
county Detroit is located, to accom
| modate the thousands of workers
i Henry employs, even if alloted a
I playboy plot, say 50x100 feet.
1 Farmers in Michigan can find no i
sale for their produce, allowing it to 1
rot in the giound, yet Henry Ford
lifts up his elongated radiator hood
straightway places his finger upon
the economic trouble, just like that.
Raise a garden; raise your own liv
ing; raise hell; raise anything, just
so one can put in his rest period in
cutivating a garden and watching in
grow.
We often wonder how far some of"
these self-constituted advisory? com-j
mittees for the relief of the-- >.poor,
workingmen follow their o wn*a/ivice.
How many rows of fresh vegetables
can Henry swear to have raised.*’ in
his long and varied career ? Can he
show hands calloused by the handles
■ of a plow or a hoe? How many
FIRE INSURANCE
You should carry.a liberal amount of fire insurance,
for the sake of your credit and your peace of mind,
Needless to say this insurance should be of the very
highest quality.

knobs do you suppose he carries on
his ribs, mementoes of a rocky field
and n double-shovel? We wot not,
and in wotting care less.
When a man works all day in
Henry’s, factories at high speed, we
believe he should not be condemned
to use up his rest period in wet-nurs
ing a bed of enervated lettuce.. We
would allow Henry to keep his.,job
and his advice. Jobs may be scarce,,I
but idvice is always with us.
'■.•An t ariment with wireless tele
phony which, if successful, is expect-j
ed to solve most of Alaska’s com- j
munieations problems, has been/
launched with the installation at
Marshall of the first radio telephone
in the Territory. This station has
just been put into operation, and is
communicating successfully with the'
Signal Corps’ regular radio station at
Bethel, i twas recently announced by
Major Malcolm Elliott, president of
the Alaska Road Commission, which,
in cooperation with, the Signal Corps,
has installed the Marshall station.
The Bethel connection is planned to
be used only until the Signal Corps
completes the instlation of a second
radio telephone .set at St. Michael.
£nd after that the Bethel link will be
auxiliary for use in emergencies,
such as interruption in the St. Mi
chael circuit. The wireless telephone
experiment was authorized by the
Territorial Legislature last snrinp-. It
made funds available for installing
stations at Marshall and St. Michael,
for. expenditure by the. Road Com
mission, which turned., the technical
work over to the Signal Corps . The
initial, success was pronounced very
gratifying by both Governor Parks
and Major Elliott. Owing to the
comparatively., small expense of in
stallation and operation, it is believed',
that, ,shoul dhe system continue to.
function satisfactorily, other plants
will be installed in. the future in iso
loted communities until the entire
Terriovy is linke.dinto a single com
munication system having connec
tions with the Signal Corps service*
