Trie Bureau of Air Com
- ae ee announces that dur
ing the year 1935 Ameri
can air lines broke all pre
vious records by carrying
749,946 passengers. It was
a 61 per cent increase over
the previous year when on
ly 462,743 rode the air lin
es. The previous high mark
was in 1933 when 493,141
passengers took planes. It
was estimated that the
drop in 1934 was due to the
cancellation of air mail con
tracts. This is a significant
point and reveals the large
part air mail contracts play
in aerial transportation. If
it means that much to the
great transconinental lin
es of the states, how much
more it means in Alaska
where our population is
limited.
The need of those mail
contracts to lines operating
in the Territory is even
more pressing than “Out
side" because without pro
per aerial transportation Al
aska’s mineral and indus
trial development is great
ly retarded. More regular
ly scheduled air service is
the one thing we need in
the north, more than any
other. It paves the way for
development of our resourc
es. If Congress wants to
see the Territory go ahead
and be a greater source of
revenue to the nation it can
do well to give further con
sideration to those air mail
contracts.

Old Age Pension Probe
The nation will watch
with a great deal of inter
est the investigation of old
age pension plans by the
House Committee headed
by Cmt messman Bell of
Miss aui i. Particularly will
interes; attach to the Town
send plan, the best known
and most popular oi the
group.
Townsendites claim a
membership throughout
the nation of 8.000,000.
These paid an initiation fee
of 25 cents per person, ac
cording to Congressman
Bell’s report, making a to
tal of $2,000,000. The levy,
he says, is then ten cents
per month, or $800,000 a
month revenue which in
any business isn’t a bad in
come. Bell’s contention is
that it makes a fat monthly
fee for the heads of the
Townsend organization, but
R. E. Clements, co-founder
of the movement with Dr.
Townsend, says it is all an
illusion on the part of the
investigators. Buttons and
literature cost a large frac
tion of the intake he claims.
At least $1,000 a week goes^
out for radio time, Clem
ents points out. He says '
printing bills run to $85,- 1
000 and probably will run '
to 100,000 in this campaign J
year. Postage is a big item ;
and of course, there is the '
staff salaries, which Con- I
gressman Bell hints broad- !
lv are the biggest ‘take” in
the entire scheme. That is
somthing for the investiga
tion to prove.
