CONSTRUCTIVE ECONOMY
Efforts are being made to demonstrate that the fig
ures totaling the appropriations of the last congress do
not show what President Coolidge calls “constructive
economy'” but on the contrary show extravagance and
waste.
While it is true that the appropriations of the last ses
sion of congress exceeded those of the previous congress,
the items constituting the increase come legitimately un
der the head of “constructive economy.”
. “Constructive economy” means the expenditure of
money in such a manner as to conserve the welfare of the
whole people. Money spent for the care of the veterans
of the world is “constructive economy.” Money spent
to promote a navy and army airplane service is “construc
tive economy,” and members of all parties justified it.
Money spent to repair and save from decay many army
posts is constructive economy,” and members of all par
ties agreed to it. The building of suitable government
offices, with a great saving of rent is true economy.
It is useless to discount the moral and real effect of
the President’s constant labors for “constructive econ
omy.” It has brought forth fruit, and the .people are
aware of it.
BUY IN THE HOME TOWN
Social economists commonly agree that too much of
the population of this- country is located in great cities,
and the conditions would be better if the drift to those
cities should stop, and if more people would- stay in me
dium-sized cities and suburban and country towns. One
cause for this drift into big cities is that in past years
many people got the idea that they could gain an advant
age by buying their supplies in these great centers. That
helped transfer business to such places, and took it way
from the smaller communities. The people at least can
do their share to counteract this undesirable drift, by buy
ing their supplies of their own town merchants, thus
keeping their money to build up their own town, rather
than sending it elsewhere to biuld up bigger cities.
AUTOMOBILE POWER
Engineers have determined that the modern automo
bile’ in proportion to its weight, is eight times more pow
erful than a locomotive. This statistic, so far, has not
been unusually demonstrable at railroad crossings.

IS IDEAL VACATION
THOUSAND MILE SEA VOYAGE,
OCCUPYING SEVEN DAYS, AT
A NOMINAL COST
A trip which Seward people and
residents of this section should give
serious thought to taking during the
summer vacation days is the round
trip to the Westward on the Admiral
vessels. Here is a seven-day, 1,000
mile sea voyage under the very heist
of conditions and at a cost remark
ably small, $48.00 first class. At this
season of the year the water is almost
always liwke a mill-pond. On the
recent trip of the S. S. Admiral Evans,
Captain Glass, which arrived in port
yesterday, southbound, stops were
made at Port Graham, Shumigan
Straights, Iron Creek, Uzinkie, Zach
er bay, Kodiak, Alitak, Port Hobron,
Sheerwater bay and Uyak. It is the
trip ideal and well worth serious con
sideration when one begins planning
on a short vacation.
SCHOOL TEACHERS HAVE
WONDERFUL VOYAGE
Lillian Ford and Anna Manns, mem
bers of the Anchorage teaching facul
ty, arrived in the city yesterday on
the S. S. Admiral Evans, from the
round trip to the Westward. Accord
ing to friends of the young ladies the
trip was of exceptional interest to
them for the reason the vessel was
fortunate to be at the many places
where actual activities were under
way such as the canneries and the
whaling station. They saw whales
harpooned, fish traps in operation,
herds of seals and sea lions, besides
having the opportunity to visit the
many places of interest around Ko
diak island where legends abound.
