OLEAGINOUS PHILANTHROPY
When the Standard Oil Tanker J. A. Moffett cleared
for the south early this week it is reported to have car
bed nine men as charity passengers, all of whom believe
they can better their chances at some southern port.
The exodus is characteristic of many floaters, who
drift from port to port, town to town and in many cases
wind up in the bread lines.
It brings out distinctively the difference between a
builder and a dependent. There are unlimited spots near
Seward where these men might have erected a cabin, and
b yhusbanding their resources had food and shelter, aug
menting the. former by going into the hills and taking a
moose. They could have gathered their firewood, and if
without warm clothing could have secured it either by
donations or credit.
Possibly it is as well that they yielded to the tide and
drifted. There wilt always be drifters, simply because
they cannot summon sufficient judgement to cast anchor
where their energies may return the greatest measure
of solid comfort and maybe a competency.
They often wonder how others have gained a foot
hold when they seem to be unable to forge ahead. It is be
cause, starting with 'no more than themselves, have ap
plied their energies according to their talents. Again
they have the constructive perspective and can start with
pitiful crudities and eventually leave the mark of their
handiwork on a nation.
SOMETHING WRONG
. Reports fro mCalgaiy, Alberta, say that wheat is
selling- for $9.00 per ton, less than the price paid for saw
dust. \\ hen this ton oi wheat reaches the consumer it
costs $8.00 per barrel of 200 pounds or $80 per ton. And
this in face of the fact that millions are practically with
out bread.
I ntil there is an adjustment of this spread between
the producer and consumer there can be no relief for the
farmer or others engaged in the labor of production.
The administration or party which can bridge this
gap and correct the unbalanced condition will have done
more toward restoring general prosperity than all of the
governmental deles to high finance poured out of the
treasury. Tne trouble seems to be that too many para
sites are attached to the productive body, who toil not,
neither do they spin.
FILLING THE GAP
Net profits of trie U. S. Mining & Smelting Co., for a
five months period, after interest, depreciation, amortiz
ation and federal taxes, were $701,307. This result is
traceable to the steady increase and output of gold from
such enterprises as the Fairbanks Exploration Co., and
the Hammon Consolidated Gold Fields, subsidiaries,
which have filled the gap created by the low price of sil
ver. In this contribution Mexican and Alaskan produc
tion has approximated 315,000 ounces of gold, equivalent
to $5,100,000.
The bonus question seems to have simmered down to
one where all those well fixed in this world’s goods, hold
ing government sinecures, or recipients of governmental'
honors, oppose payment and those who are penniless and ,
all who believe in a fair deal, are for the bonus.
It appears that Hollywood marriages come within
the limited round boxing laws.

“I am on the road again,” writes
Capt. Ralph R. Guthrie, formerly
in charge of the Alaska Signal
Corps for this section, with head
quarters in Seward, and one of the
finest of “he-men” on two legs.
Upon being transferred to take
charge of n Presidio department,
the Captain and his charming wife
have continued to keep in touch
with the Northland, the setting for
many cf his stories which appear
from time to time in the leading
magazines of the country.
From San Francisco the promi
nent Army officer was transferred
to Barksdate Field, at Shreveport,
Louisiana and now, according to
a change of address forwarded, he
will see duty at Fort Amador, Can
al Zone.
Captain and Mrs- Guthrie sail
from New York on December 15.
Their best regards and kind
wishes to all their many friends in
Seward and the North, in general,
is expressed.
