PROCEEDS OF ALL LOANS
FE BEEN EXPENDEJ
In a statement sent to Govemo
James K. Lynch of the Federal R<
serve bank, Secretary of the Treasur
Carter Glass has exploded the rumo
that the saving of more than flftee
billion dollars as the result of th
armisice had removed the necessit
for another Liberty loan.
Secretary Glass’ statement follows
“A rumor reached the treasury the
a mistake has been made by the ai
thorities, that from $15,000,000,000 t
$17,000,000,000 has been returned t
the treasury as a result of the arm!
tice and that therefore another Lil
erty loan is unnecessary. The rumc
is absolutely unfounded. I suppose
has its origin in a failure to unde
stand the discussion of the propose
repeal by congress of $15,000,000,0(
of appropriations and authorization
This does not mean a return of mone
to the treasury but a cancellation <
authority heretofore given by co
gress- to expend money in the futur
“As a matter of fact, the whole pr
ceeds of the Fourth Liberty loan ar
of all previous loans had, at the tin
the armistice was signed, been expe
ed or anticipated by treasury certi
cates of indebtedness issued durli
the summer and early fall to finan<
the current requirements of the go
ernment and at that time outstandir

HOKE SMITH’S BILL FOR '
i EDUCATION DEPARTMENT
r During the month of October, 1918,
. Senator Hoke Smith of Georgia intro
f duced into the Benate of the United
r States, Senate Bill No. 4987, which is
j designated “to create a department of
a education, to appropriate money for
)p the conduct of said department, to
appropriate money for federal co-oper
: ation with the states in the encourage
t ment and support of education, and
[. for other purposes.” The bill provides
0 for a secretary of education, having
o equal rank and tenure t»f office with
j- other cabinet officers and receiving
>- an annual salary of $12,000. Three
r assistant secretaries of education
t with an annual salary of $10,000 each
r- are also to be appointed by the presl
d dent. The bureau of education is to
0 be merged in the new department, ac
i. cording to the terms of the bill, and
y the president is also empowered to
if transfer to the department of educa
i- tion, bureaus, boards, commissions,
3. etc., devoted to educational matters
j. which concern the United States as a
d whole.
e The bill contains five definite pro
v visions for co-operation with the
i- states, which involve a total possible
g national expenditure of $100,000,000
e and a total possible additional expen
v- diture of an equal amount by the sev
g eral states, as follows:
Seven and a half million dollars an
nually by congress, and a like amount
by the states for the removal of illiter
= acy.
Seven and a half million dollars by
J congress and a like amount by the
states for an Americanization pro
program.
Twenty million dollars annually by
congress and a like amount by the
^ states for physical education and
health service for children in school
? and for adults.
Fifteen million dollars annually by
congress and a like amount by the
states for providing more adequately
for the better preparation of teachers
for all grades of public schools.
Fifty million dollars annually by
congress and a like amount by the sev
eral states for the purpose of equaliz
ing educational advantages among the
several states and for providing a
more reasonable remuneration for
teachers.
The amount to be expended for the
purpose indicated may seem large to
some, but when we consider that New
York city alone expends $43,000,000
annually for schools, the figure set for
aid to the schools of the nation gep
erally does not seem to be so enorm
ous. It, however, represents a start
in the right direction and the fact
that congress seems to be favorable
toward the bill is a hopeful sign and
bodes good for the future progress of
the public schools.
Opinion from the educational world
is generally favorable to the bill, al
though there a few who see objections
to it as originally introduced. There
is little doubt that serious defects,
when pointed out, will be remedied.
In so far as Alaska is concerned the
principal objection is that its provi
sions do not apply to a territory.
Steps are being taken to remedy this
glaring d^ftct and it is hoped that
Alaska may at least be made one ex
ception and that this very live part
of Uncle Sam’s domain may not con
tinually be considered as of no conse
quence and at least be given the same
opportunity to help herself as the
more thickly settled but no more thor
oughly American states.

FAIRBANKS QUARANTINE
COST SEVEN THOUSANI
The cost to the interior of Alask;
for maintaining quarantine station
against the influenza amounts t
about $7,000 up to the present date
These figures were obtained from Di
J. A. Sutherland, health officer for th<
Fourth division.
The heaviest item of expense wa
that of the quarantine station at th
Piledriver roadhouse, amounting to i
little more than $3,000. About $1,10'
of the seven thousand was spent a
McGrath for preventative measure
there and the balance was expende<
in the Fairbanks precinct.
Of the money expended $1,000 wai
raised by public subscription in th<
Iditarod and $2,000 from Nenana ant
vicinity. The balance of the amount
will be made up by the territory. Th<
expense of the Rapids quarantine sta
tion cannot be determined until th<
quarantine is raised.
While $7,000 is a considerable sun
of money it is a cheap enough prict
for the preservation of health and life
The health of the interior, as regards
the influenza , speaks well for the
stringent measures taken to safeguarf
the people against the ravages of th<
dread dises.se. The loss of one lift
could not be replaced by the amouni
expended and the money may be con
sidered well spent.—Firbanks Citizen

MISSING RANCHERS ARE
l LOCATED AT MONTAGUE
i Jack Harris and Grover Gordon,
; who left here last October for Wooded
) Island, and since which time nothing
. has been seen or heard of tnem, are
. still in the^Iand of the living. Their
> mysterious disappearance caused
their friends considerable alarm, and
i Joseph Ibach, a partner, who recently
> made a trip to Wooded Island, where
i the men were supposed to be, and
> found the place deserted, organized a
: searching party. He chartered the
i Nellie Juan and with Louis Dahl and
[ Nels McCreary started out to cruise
the bays and search Montague Island.
Harris and Gordon were found on
i Martin river, where tney went last
fall and were living on Montague
island, having built a cabin there.
They were trapping for land otter and
had captured three. In December
they visited Wooded island and
trapped twenty-five blue fox. On ac
count of the rough weather during the
past six weeks the men were unable
to come to Cordova, as they intended.
Jack Harris reported that he picked
i up a sixty-gallon barrel of cocoanut
oil on the beach at Montague, which
had evidently been thrown overboard
by a passing ship.

Quite a stir was caused in MEN’S TRADE during January by
some manufacturers announcing a reduction of prices in some
lines. The result was that the merchants became puzzled as to what
course they should pursue with stocks on hand which were bought
at high prices.
The reasons for this are now very plain. Some merchants
had been speculating, others were long on certain lines which
they wished to turn into cash. W ith very few exceptions the mar
ket on woolen and cotton goods continues very firm.
One of the above exceptions is Denim, which is used in the
manufacture of OVERALLS, and we are glad to announce the
following changes in our Overall prices:
Fink’s Tan Jumper, $3r00; new price . $2.25
Fink’s Best Blue Jumper, $3.00; new price .. 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Bib Overall, $3.00; new price. 2.50
Fink’s Best Blue Waist Overall, $2.25; new price. 2.00

We also have a few EXTRA SPECIALS which are well )
worth your inspection. i
