THOSE GREEDY COTTON
GROWERS.
It was to be expected that th(
Southern contingent in Congress
would set up a howl over the pro
posal to fix the price of cotton at s
reasonable figure. They are all pa
triots. of course to hear them talk;
and they believe in the principle ol
price-fixing and the practice, too, si
long as it does not put a crimp in tin
pocket books of their constituents, llui
the governmental price-fixers must
not tamper with the cotton market
Oh. no! that would, never do! li
might discourage production, and cut
ton is needed to win the war. Wha
logic, this?
Yet these are the same fellow;
who opposed fixing tho price of silvei
at $1 no per ounce. They had thi
nerve to take the position that thi;
was more than the metal was wortl
and that the finances of the govern
ment were in no shape to guarantee
i a royalty on the product And when,
in spite of their objection, this price
was agreed upon, then they undertook
to crow about how generous the gov
ernment was with the mining Industry
) of the West. Had not Senator Smoot
® sharply reminded them that silver in
j the o|M*n market would sell for $1.29,
and that the price-fixing of this com
modity amounted in fact to a contri
bution on the part of the mine owners
* and operators of 29 cents one every
* ounce of silver produced, to the cause
f of winning the war. the chances are
J that they would have really succeed
j ed in making the country believe that
a Democratic administratoin had
* guaranteed a royalty to a Western
industry.
And so with other commodities.
The Southerners in Congress ure al
ways more than willing to curtail
abnormal profits on any article pro
duced north of the Mason and Dixon
line, but cotton must not be molested.
And to make sure Ahat the cotton
growers get the toil'price, it Is per
fectly all right for Secretary McAdoo,
himself a Southerner, to indirectly ad
vance a few hundred millions of fed
eral funds to these growers to enable
them to hold back their product for
the highest possible price. Cotton is j
still king in America—and will be so
long as the South iB In the saddle.

FACING THE FACTS
One can not very well escape the
1 conviction that when it comes to plain
speech and matter-of-fact discussion
of war questions the British have the j
better of us Their leaders have long
since determined the wisdom of tak
ing the people into their confidence,
with the result that the papers and
publicists and political leaders of the
kingdom are hem in higher regard
than is the case in America.
In speaking of the advantage of
telling the truth no matter how it may
hurt and of its bracing effect upon the
morale of the people, Mr. Asquith
took occasion to observe recently in
the course of a speech before parlia
ment ;
"What. then, is our duty at the pres
ent moment'.’ What are the faculties
we most need? (’oarage, of course,
and patience the courage that can
lace facts and can not only dare but
endure; patience that can not bo
driven from its equipoise by any alter
nations either of hope or fet.»’. * * *
But let me suggest one or two ways
ill which they may be helped and for
tified. In the first place, let us be
able to feel that whatever comes or
goes, we know the truth and the whole
truth. * • • In my Judgment we
have reached a stage of the war when
far more is to be gained than lost by
laying before our own people all the
actualities, be they favorable or ad
verse, of an unexampled situation.
* • • There is no reason, there
never was less reason, why the voice
of honest and patriotic criticism
should be hushed Into silence, but let
us keep our eyes fixed and our hearts
set on the great dominating purposes
to which we have deliberately conse
crated the resources and energies of
the empire, with an unwavering faith
both in the worthiness of our alms
and in the certainty that they will be
achieved."
To which Colonel George Harvey
adds in behalf of America: "All that
we want is discussion, and then we
are sure to do well, no matter w-hut
our blunders may be. One error con
flicts with another: each destroys its
opponent, and truth is evolved." Hem e
criticism that counts.

Capital Stock Increase
WEALTHY MEN, many of whom have
never been in Alaska, have shown
their faith in this wonderful country
by doubling their investments in capital stock
in the BANK OF ALASKA. This means more 11
than purchasing 100 percent more stock. It
means that every stockholder taking new stock
is doubling his obligation to the depositors,
the same as the present stockholders.
Bank of Alaska
with the increase will have
$170,000 CAPITAL
which is much more than any bank in the
Territory of Alaska.
You should show your faith in the country by stick
ing to Alaska unless you are called to the colors. Ctart
now in your saving and not only be prepared for all gov
ernment calls but be ready for the great reconstruction
period that will follow victory
Your good judgment in sticking to the country will
be further shown by opening an account with the
Bank of Alaska
