and denunciations of Secretary

meet the economic situation.
The Treasury secretary sought
of the New York governor “spe
cifically what the administration
i has failed to do or has done in
this emergency that is open to
fair criticism.”
To the criticism directed at
the administration’s credit
achievements, Mr. Mills pointed
to the establishment of the Re
construction Finance Corpora
tion and provisions for additional
credit for Federal Land Banks
and banks allied with agricul
ture.
Governor Roosevelt’s tariff ut
terances came in for criticism
and Mills disapproved the Demo
cratic nominee’s plan to “enter
into a series of bargaining tariffs
according to the European prac
tice.”
The pledges of Gov. Roosevelt
and his party to drastic econ
omy, abolition of useless offices
and consolidation of government
bureaus were met with the as
sertion that “expenditures of
'the State of New York increased
| by one-third from 1929 tol931;
[that Democrats of the House
voted by a large majority for
(“Garner’s pork barrel mea
sure,” and that “they declined to
give the President the authority
to abolish useless bureaus.”
Mr. Mills took up the problem
that confronts the American
farmer with the comment that
other than Governor Roosevelt’s
suggestion “that interest rates
of farm mortgages should be re
duced, without saying how it is!
to be done, I find nothing in his'
program which does not const!-j
tute a mere indorsement in prin- 1
ciple of what has and is now be- 1
ing done.”

“These are the times that try

Tyranny, like hell, is not easily

Only 23 out of 1,000 pupils
■who enter grade school step forth
from college with diplomas in
their hands. The elementary
school turns out but 657 of the
1,000, and a mere 343 enter high
school. This period sees the stu
dents’ ranks greatly depleted, 271
becoming wage-earners. Of the
remainder, only 72 enter college
and 49 of these drop out before
graduating. This is the picture
drawn by research experts of the
Union Central Life Insurance
Company. Lack of funds is
shown as the chief cause for leav

believe educational insurance
gives parents the most effective
guarantee that their children will
enjoy the benefits of a college

WRANGELL
A special meeting of the
Council was called by Mayor
Barnes to consider an offer made
through the Bank of Alaska to
purchase the City Power Plant.
The bank is trustee for the mill
properties and is undertaking
negotiations fo rthe sale of that
property and the proposed sale
would include the power plant.
Objections raised by Messrs P.
C. McCormack, Geo. M. Bidweil,
Ole Johnson, L. M. Churchill and
A. Engstrom. The Council is in
clined to favor letting go of the
plant provided they can see a
way out without losing the a
mount of money invested in the
plant since the city took it over.
Under city ordinance an election
would be required to settle the
matter. Attention was called by
local citizens that Petersburg
offered to sell their plant and
were blocked by tax payers and
now, because the city hydro is
such a good money maker the
town would not consider selling
that they termed a “white ele
phant.”
Tommie Kuwamota was sen
tenced to 30 days in jail and to
pay a fine of $200 for beating up
Lillian Brown of Juneau.

NEW FILM ROLE BRINGS
COOPER UPS AND DOWNS
Now he knows how a woman
feels.
Gary Cooper, star of the Coli

Thursday and Friday, “I Take
This Woman,” found shifting
from the high-heeled cowboy
boots, which he wore for the
filming, to regulation low-heeled
shoes gave him a feeling of ris
ing and falling not at all com
fortable.
Cooper plays his role with
fidelity: When the action shifts
from the Western plains to
fashionable New York, Cooper
shifts his foot-wear from the
high-heeled boots to the low
heeled shoes. “The real Western
always dresses sanely,” says
Cooper. “He’s never conspicuous.’

NORRIS ATTACKS CON
SUMER’S TAX ON ELECTRICTY
Senator Norris, Republican,
Nebraska, assailed the action of
Senate and House conferees or
the tax bill in removing provi
sions for taxing producers of
electricity and substituting the
tax on the consumer. He quoted
to the Senate a statement attri
buted to Chairman Crisp of the
House group, that Senate con
ferees objected to the producer
tax.
Senator Smoot, Republican,
Utah, told the conferees, Norris
said, that if the tax were placed
on the companies, the Utah
companies would be destroyed.
Describing the growth of the
Insull properties in the Middle
West, Norris said the original
company soon became “a great
great-great-great - grandfather
and its children grew up and had
children of their own,” naming

companies had watered their
stock, “had traveling men on the
road to buy newspapers,” and
sought to dominate elections and
legislature procedure.
Norris said Joseph R. Nutt of
Cleveland, treasurer of the Re
publican national committee,
had for his principal job “the
reelection of Herbert Hoover.”
With this remark, Norris
coupled a declaration that Nutt
n
was one of the members of a
syndicate that bought power
companies in Utah, Idaho and
Wyoming.
Senator Norris contended that
President Hoover would like to
stop the Federal Trade Com
mission’s investigation of power
companies, which he said had

talization of $520,000,000 in those
companies.
