this paper end also all the local news published herein.
The Nenana Commercial club has
come in for a lot of criticism late
ly from the Fairbanks News-Miner
and Chief Propogandist Robinson, oi
the Alaskan Engineering: commission
forces, both of whom have accused
the club of responsibility for recent
criticisms of the manner in which
the railroad work is being carried
on.
The Nenana Commercial club has
been wrongly accused of many
things in the past, but just why
the Fairbanks paper and the per
sonal representative of the chair
man of the commissioif are seeking
to tie this latest story onto the
local organization is quite beyond
understanding, and not at all fair.
As a matter of fact, the Nenana
Commercial club had nothing wrhat
eer to do with the meeting at
which the head of the commission
was accused of being incompetent;
nor with any of the communications
which were forwarded to Washing
ton subsequent to the meeting re
ferred to. The action which offended
Colonel Mears and the Fairbanks
editor was taken at a public meet
ing of citizens of Nenana, of whom
there were present many more than
are enrolled as members of the
Commercial club.
The News has no apology to
make for the action taken at that
meeting, nor is this an attempt to
“cover up” for the Commercial
club. It is simply a statement of
fact for the enlightenment of those
who arc. too ready to blame the
club for the things of which they
do not approve, and never ready
to give the club credt for good ac
complished for the community.
A large business bouse having
headquarters in Rochester, X. Y.,
has undertaken to conduct its af
fairs entirely without the use of
money. Instead of currency, it in
tends to use checks, trade accept
ances and travel checks to make
payments of every kind, including
its payroll. As the concern deals
with more than 800,000 individual
customers the result of the experi
ment, writes a correspondent of
The Associated Press, will be watch
ed with intereest.
The company’s reason for adopt
ing this method is given as an ef
fort to demonstrate a means of
ending the epidemic of payroll rob
beries and “to show that modem
business may be conducted most
efficiently without the use of ‘small
change’, thus leaving the nation’s
money where it belongs, in the
banks, to serve as the basis of
credit.”
The announcement says even car
fares, hotel bills and railroad fare;
for the company’s force of several
hundred salesmen, and other sun
dries are to be paid by checks. All
petty items even to one-cent postage
stamps will be paid henceforth by
check and “no currency of any
amount or denomination is to be
carried in any form as company
property.” ,
To meet the payroll of its factory
the company has offered to em
ployes either a regular pay check or
the option of receiving on pay day
a deposit slip showing that his
earnings for- the week have been de
posited to his credit in a local
bank. This plan is expected by the
house to prove popular with the
thrifty class of employes and to in
crease the volume of bank deposits.
Executive employes who have no
banking account have been advised
to start one at once.
EDUCATION IN RUSSIA
According to advices received in
London from Moscow, every partly
educuted worker and peasant of
either sex attaining the age of 18
has the right to be a student of
the Sverdloff Communist university
in Moscow. Persons with higher ed
ucation are not admitted. The stud
ents are supplied with rooms, com
mon dormitories, bed linen, writing
materials, books, army rations and
an allowance of 5,000 rubles per
month. Boots and clothes are not
supplied.
Leave of absence is only given in
rare cases, such as extreme family
conditions, and only when the stud
ents are summoned by a letter or
telegram dispatched by the local
soviet, or the party committee. The
students have to take part in the
school work such as wood cutting,
looking after the cleanliness and
hygiene of the buildings and general
chores.
FAMINE RELIEF
As a practical relief for the
chief famine district of China, the
Chinese government has elaborated
a plan to construct highways from
Peking to Honan, to Shantung and
to various parts of Chihli province
for the purpose of giving employ
ment to the sufferers in those dis
tricts. It is estimated that part of
the work to be started as soon as
possible, will give employment to
upwards of a million men. The
necessary funds are to be raised
by supplementary collections of salt
tax and increases in post and tele
graph rates.
“Get into the bandwagon and
boost’’ urges the editor of the Fair
banks paper. And in the same is
i sue appears several columns of
' “knocks” against Nenana—a real
; neighborly article such as Nenana
ites long ago learned to expect
■ from that quarter.
