NO WORK, NO EAT
Since man, impossible creature that he is, was driven
out of the Garden of Eden and condemned to earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow it has been the law of human kind
that he who does not work is not entitled to eat. Our first
Pilgrim colonists brought the rule into play with renewed
vigor and it has been found productive of good results in
this country ever since. However, in the stress of our more
recent economic conditions it has been necessary to amend
it so that the application is that those who won't work when
there is work to do don't eat.
Thousands in the past few years were unable to find
work of any kind but they could not be left to starve. Cer
tainly in a society which has failed to provide millions of
persons with any opportunity whatever to work for wages
there is an obligation on the part of the State to supply re
lief. And this is exactly what has been done on humanitar
ian grounds as well as in the interests of common justice.
But now the other side of the picture has presented it
self. In South Dakota it is reported that 25,000 men were
on relief rolls but that crops have been rotting in the field
because of the inability to get men to harvest them. There
is something wrong with such a situation and Governor
Berry of that State attacked it from the simple and appar
ently logical angle of stopping relief payments until such
time as the farmers of the State have enough hands to han
dle their work.
No man should be forced to work, but if he wishes to
remain idle when jobs are offered he should be obliged to
rely on his own initiative to provide his own bread and but
ter. Governor Berry took the stand that an unwillingness
to work, as shown in the refusal to take a job when avail
able, is prima facie evidence that relief is not merited. Uni
versal application of the same theory so far as the relief pro
blem is concerned would weed out the drones who by their
attitude make the road of the unfortunate, who is on relief
through no fault of his own and is willing to work at a mo
ment’s notice, often times extremely rough.
No one cares if a man is so afraid of work that he can lie
down alongside of it and go to sleep but a great many are
beginning to object to waking him up at meal time to hand
him a steak smothered in onions.—Juneau Daily Empire.
A POPULAR TAX IDEA
There were loud objections to the new tax plan recently
before Congress, but it would appear to have its good points
at that.
When Barbara Hutton, the ten-cent heiress, married
Prince Mdivani, who was killed recently in an auto accident,
a few years ago she is reported to have given him as a wedd
ing gift a million dollars, cash money, and other trifles such
as a string of polo ponies, pearl shirt studs and the like.
Under the proposed gift tax proposal the levy on that gift
would have been about fifty per cent to Uncle Sam.
There may be something wrong with that tax program
but surely it has one feature that is pretty sure to appeal to
the popular mind.—Exchange.

My belief is that the proper body
to start this project is the Pioneer
Igloo of Alaska. If they will ap
point a Committee to decide upon
the cost, nature and location of the
Monument it will unquestionably re
ceive the support of individuals and
organizations throughout the Terri
; tory.
It would probably be an inop
portune time to open this subject
:f my plan entailed the raising of
funds by popular subscription. This
is not the case. There is now in the
hands of the Board of Trustees of
the Pioneers' H"me a sum of money
bequeathed to the Pioneers as fol
lows:
A bequest by John North
$3,108.26
A bequest by Mayme Snell An
derson $1,227.11
A bequest by David McVay
. $1,517,67
TOTAL $5,853.67
The Board of Trustees has inform
ed me that they are willing to turn
this sum of money over to a pro
perly authorized committee for the
purpose of erecting a permanent
Memorial to the Pioneers of Alaska.
If the project is started now with
this sum of money as a nucleus
there can be no doubt that as time
goes on other residents of Alaska
who have money to bequeath will
recognize the merit of this tribute.
The bequests that have been made
in the past have been entirely vol
untary. If a person making a will
knows that the money bequeathed
will go into a definite and worthy
project it will be a material incen
tive for future bequests. It may ev
en be possible that future winners of
