REVENUE CUTTER NEEDED
That a revenue cutter is badly need
ed on the section of coast from Sew
ard to Unga is apparent, when one
considers the great number of boats|
lost and the hardships experienced by
their crews. Up to the present time, I
this fall four boats have been wrecked
and their occupants forced to live on
a desolate beach exposed to the ele i
ments. subsisting on mussels and;
porcupines. A recent case was tIre j
wrecking of the Agram and the Onvx,!
Seldovia gas ooats, whose crews were
cast away in Ursus cove, for over a
month, subsisting on clams and par
cupines.
Several other boats have been lost
this fall, and a cutter would be of un
told benefit to the community. Sew
ard would be a logical place for such1
headquarters, for as pointed out by I
Captain Johansen, oil could be secur-j
ed, and supplies obtained more cheap
ly than at stations farther west.
WHERE YOUR MONEY GOES
“The United States is spending on
future wars alone more than the en
tire net expenses of the federal gov
ernment years ago. It is spending as
much as the aggregate net earnings of
the railroads of the country in their
most prosperous year. Nobody has
yet shown wherein there is a shadow
of an excuse for this exhausting strain
on the nation's economic resources, or
what peril or policy of government
can warrant such expenditure. To say
that it is done for the national defense
is silly. The national defense is weak
ened not strengthened, by this exces
sive. No property owner feels com
ment that armament is a form of na
tional insurance is not highly impres
sive. No property owner felis com
pelled to take out new policies be
cause a business rival has increased
his insurance. Moreover, if a manu
facturer devoted 80 per cent of his to
tal income, as the United States gov-i
eminent is doing, to paying insurance I
premiums, his creditors would soon
intervene, and his case would also re-j
ceive the careful attention of an ex-j
pert alienist. What an individual
could not do without subjecting him
self to court proceeding is what every
government is doing in the name of
national defense.’’—Frank I. Cobb,
Editor, The New York World.
