MARCUAL WHITE EXPRESSED
THAXKS TO VOTERS
I wish to thank the Voters ol
Petersburg, and Alaskans for thf
large complimentary vote thal
was given to me in Tuesday’

consideration by the people oJ
Alaska more than twenty years
ago which gave me great plea
sure then. While the place J
sought was a party honor, il
was gratifying to me to receivt
the votes and it was as great a
pleasure as that consideratior
cf twenty years ago.
The National ticket of whicli
I was a part, and sponsoring
I Edward Rasmuson for National
| Committeeman and the Dele
gates who are on his ticket,
'which is supporting the Presi

! of them when I thank you all.

MISSING LINK OF
HIPPOLOGY FOUND
IN IDAHO HILLS
-X
Fossil bones of the great horse
Plesippus, which once romped
lover the plains of Southwest
Idaho perhaps a million years
ago, were hung in the state mus
eum, Boise, Idaho, as the major
item of a growing display of
antique animals.
The animal is in general con
formity the same as a present
clay horse. The example in the
state museum was estimated by
H. W. Tucker of the College of
Idaho faculty as weighing about
700 pounds. The principal differ
ence is in the leg bones.
This animal was described as
representing a step in the his
torical development of the mod -
ern horse which had not previ
ously been bridged. It is the step
between the three-toed dog-sized
horse and the more modern
horse which was first brought to
America by the Spaniards.

CUTTER BEAR IS
SOLD TO BYRD
-X
The City Council of Oakland
has sold the cutter Bear, which
had been used by Peary in his
North Pole expeditions, to Rear
Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd,
retired, for a proposed trip to
the Antarctic.
The ship was given to the city
by the government to serve as a
museum and to perpetuate the
accomplishments of Peary but
the council decided to dispose of
it on account of the expense of
keeping it up.
First it was decided to give it
to Byrd but this plan was balked
vhen it was found that the ship
would have to be sold to the
highest bidder on competitive
bids.
A wrecking firm entered a bid
cf five dollars more than Byrd
who bid a thousand dollars but
the sale to the explorer wa
made possible thru the with
drawal of the higher bid.
The other bidder said that he
intended to use the Bear in
Alaska in the fur trade.

GOVERNMENT DEFICIT
NOW $2,334,105,14?
-x
A deficit of $2,334,105,142 con
fronts the government at the
conclusion of ten-months of the
1932 fiscal year.
The Treasury statement on
the condition of its finances at
the end of April, made public,
showed it had collected from all
sources $1,685,666,535 and has
spent $4,019,771,677.
The chief cause of the decline
in government collections, which
| for the same period last year
amounted to $2,569,730,518, was
a slump in income tax.
This form of the government’s
income in the ten months of the
present year amounted to $873,
303,905 compared with $1,535.
928,202 in the same period last
year.
Miscellaneous internal re
venue fell off $50,000,000 to $420,-j
738, 151 while customs receipts
declined nearly $30,000,000 to
$292,375,849.
Meantime government expend
itures were $663,000,000 greater
than for the same period last
year.

ALASKA BEAR’S RIGHTS
AROUSE CAPITAL STORM
-x
The Alaskan brown bear was
the center of a storm in scienti
fic and government circles, Wash
ington, D. C.
The storm, which transform
ed a staid meeting of poliie
scientists into an outburst of hot
debate, revolved around the
question of whether the Alaskan
bears, last of America’s big game
are in danger of extinction.
Charges of “misrepresenta
tion,” “withholding of facts,”
“sacrificing the bears for a few
paltry dollars to be made from
pulpwood” flew between mem
bers of the American Society cf
Mammalogists and officials of
*1
the United’States forest servic
and biological survey.
Propose Sanctuary
The bears in question liv
peacefully on Admiralty Island
/Alaska, which belongs to tin
federal government. Pulpwoot
interests have an option on tin
timber of the island and maj
soon start operations there,' un
der supervision of the foresl
service.
Cutting pulpwood will mear
the end of the bears, say the
I scientists.
They want more drastic re
strictions on hunting bears and
Admiralty Island made into a
bear sanctuary.

j A racketeer is merely a man
who threatens you with a dis
aster and then makes you pay
3 for saving you from it.
. Ancient Roman racketeers set
1 fire to villas, then collected from
1 the owners before they allowed
- the fire department to go to
' work.
Modern racketeers refuse to
let business men DO business
until their demands are met;
enforce their demanus with
bombs, machine guns.
Bureaucratic racketeers work
a trifle more slavely, but just as
effectively, helped on by nit-wit
congressmen and senators.
“Crops will be ruined unless
we get willions for eradicating
the grasshoppers,” they shout.
Nobody stops to inquire—and out
go the millions.
Every year the same story:
“We are fighting, but we haven't
won yet: more millions, please!”
t Sometimes not even “Please.”)
It’s the same old game all
down the line: Unnecessary
millions for army, navy, postal
subsidies, useless bureaus, worth
less departments.
“You’ll be ruined, unless you
kick in,” they tell taxpayers.
Huh! Trying to frighten us
with a threat like THAT—aft?r
what we’ve gone thru since 1929.
One thing: We don’t scare so
easily as we did.
That’s something! —Seattle
