MEMBER OF THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
The Associated Press is exclusively entitled to the use for re-publi
cation of all news dispatches credited to it or not otherwise credited in
this paper and also all the local news published herein
The News knows its readers will
not welcome the change from regu
lar to the apparently smaller type
used in today’s issue, but the change
is necessary- in order to crowd the
usual amount of news in the smaller
space available. As a matter of
fact, the type is not smaller—it is
the absence of space between the
lines that makes it seem so.
, Speaking of type, has it ever oc
curred to you readers, that there
is more actual reading in The Xe
nana New? than in any other paper
in Interior Alaska? By actual meas
urement there is more reading mat
ter in a single issue of The Nenana
News than there is in the Anchorage
Times, which boasts eight pages;
more than there is in the Seward
paper, which publishes only once a
week; me-re per week than there is
in the Nome paper. This is made
possible—necessary, in fact—because
of the amount of live news avail
able in Nenana and along the busy
Government railroad. A live com
Imunitv demands a live newspaper,
and The News is only trying to keep
pace with the forward movement
; which is bringing Nenana rapidly to
i the front.
It is not surprising to find federal
employes accusing the Government
of contributing to the cause of un
employment through curtailment of
forces at Washington and elsewhere.
They would have the Government
1 become "an elleviating agency" by
burdening taxpayers with additional
clerks and extravagant expenditures,
heedless of the fact that long ago
the cost of running our Government
reached dangerous proportions. All
of which is fine business for those
on the federal payroll, but a poor
argument as viewed by the rest of
us who have to pay the bills.
The News would like to hear from
that Fairbanks mail robber how the
trik was turned. Gardner is getting
more than his share of publicity
