HEALTH CAN BE BOUGHT
Thanks to the advances of medical
science, health is now purchasable,
according to a distinguished health
commissioner. Of course, there are
limitations to the extent to which
this statement is true, but the fact
remains that the possibilities of pre
venting disease are greatly neglect
ed, thru false economy.
By employing well known sanitary
measures it is possible for any com
munity to abolish typhoid fever,
diphtheria, malaria and other age-old
enemies of mankind. Tuberculosis
can be largely prevented and prac
tically every communicable disease !
can be reduced to a minimum.
A striking example of effective i
public health work comes from Fram- :
ingham, Mass., where a campaign j
was put on at a cost of $2.40 a year
for every man, woman and child in j
the city. As a result the total death
rate was reduced by 9 percent, the !
infant mortality by 40 per cent and I
the tuberculosis death rate by 68 per
cent. That $2.40 per capita was cer
tainly a splendid investment.
Aside from the misery and loss of
life that results from a failure to
take advantage of scientific health 1
measures, the economic loss is also
appalling. The earning capacity of
every community is needlessly re
duced through preventable sickness.
As a busines proposition it pays to
utilize every possible means for the i
preservation of the public health, j
aside from humanitarian considera-!
tions.
fDUR GREAT FEARS
COUNT'EM
Four great fears accompany you from
your home to your work and remain
with you throughout the day—
It The fear of your family being
left unprovided for;
2. The fear of a penniless old ago
for yourself;
3. The fear of loss of income from
total or partial disablement;
4. The fear of losing what you
have accumulated.
Would it be worth anything to you to have these
fear* eliminated from your life—to know that you
were shielded by a complete circle of protection?
A line to us will bring you full details without com*
mitring you to any action.

(Much, has been done in the direc
tion of better sanitation and the era
dication of disease, but not one-half
of what can or ought to be done.
Within reasonable limits, the people
can purchase as much of health as
they are willing to pay for. And
nothing else worth having can be had
at such a low cost.
STATES MUST CHOOSE
•Commenting . lie fact that the
state inheritaiu is retarding de
velopment in ornia, the San
Francisco Bulet quotes the late
H. J. Heinz, who j it one time figured
on establishing fa. chain of pickle
plants in that state. After investi
gating the tax situation, Mr. Heinz
said:
“I am not willing to take all the
chance under conditions which make
mo stand all losses and turn over
most of the profits, if any, to the
tax collector.”
Dr. Milbank Jones, president of the
state association for taxation im
provement told a recent convention
of real estate men that California
and other states are losing heavily
through the transfer of citizenship
by wealthy people to states like Flor
ida and Alabama, which have no in
heritance tax.
Summing up the situation, the Bul
letin says: ‘‘Taxes that rob prop
erty of its value are fatal to com
munity prosperity, for when capital
will not venture, the wage earner is
inevitably a more serious loser even
than the capitalist.”
Every state must choose its own
policy in the matter of dealing with
wealth and industry. The results
of wise or unwise policies are plain
ly before all who want to see. Capi
tal and industry seeking new loca
tions do not select states where they
are to be regulated and taxed beyond
reason.
GETTING ROADS FREE
If some recent statistics are true,
it appears that the old saying, “you
can’t eat your cake and have it,” has
been proven false in one phase of
our economic life, at least.
This phenomenon is seen in the
buildig of good roads. It has been
pretty conclusively demonstrated
that on any highway with an even
moderate amount of traffic the cost
of a paved road may be saved within
a few years through reduced expen
ditures for vehicles and gasoline.
Owing to the greatly increased
cost of tires and the threatened rise J
in the price of gasoline, this will i
posibly be true to an erven greater !
degree in the near future.
The device of building roads J
through the special gasoline tax has i
net with general acceptance and the j
ndications are that its application j
will be further extended. In those 1
states where all of the gasoline tax i
is spent upon the roads there is lit- i
tl complaint. To spend it in any J
other way is manifestly unfair and «
discriminatory. !
But, however the funds are raised, j
provided they are judiciously and 1
economically expended, the people .
Pome very nearly getting their good
■oads free in the long run. ■

Alaskan progress of the past forecasts the future greatness of
the Northfland, and justifies all Alaskans in holding to their firm faith
in the Territory's possibilities and worth. By aiming high and
working together—actively and steadily—those having to do with
Alaskan progress can accomplish much. Looking ahead to still
greater things, and planning and working accordingly, is the one
way that a high purpose can be realized.
The Alaska Railroad—a pioneer system—is gradually and pains
takingly striding towards a great goal—the greater development of
Alaska; and, that the future is bright and promising is attested by
the steady and consistent upward trend of past and present activi
ties. The Alaska Railroad is “Looking Ahead.”
