whsr. BUDGET Comes From.

Budget" is a word that should find
a place in any comprehensive diction-
airy Of slang. THE meaning of this
word" writes the late William White,
a former bookkeeper in the house OF
commons, lis bag or sack. Former
ly, no doubt, the chancellor OF the
exchequer used to bring down his
papers, when he had to lay before the
house the financial statement for the
year, in a bag, green, blue or red;
probably green, for that was the color
of official bags until the trial Of
Queen Caroline in 1920 Then, be-
cause the government papers and
evidence against her majesty were
laid upon the table of the house OF
lords lnclosed in a green bag, official
green bags all over the country be-
came hateful to the people. London

The Minratory Male.

The census shows 1,17S,317 females
iu excess of males in Great Britain
That is the old story of a colonizing
state. of a race with the wanderlust
in its bone and sinew. New England
to this day illustrates in the same way
the effect upon a population of the mi
gratory disposition. The men go first,
the women follow, in the movement
which will not come to rest until
the west and east squarely meet.

LIGHT SOUGHT ON
ALASKA LAND GRAB
Various Inquiries Are Started at
Washington.
KEY TO RICH COAL FIELDS
Commissioner bennett Tells House
Committee Order Opening Con-
troiIer Bay Land Was Changed
After 1t Left His Office.

Washington.-Sever Investigations
were started in Washington into the
alleged land grab of valuable lands
on Controller Bay, Alaska, by the Nor
gan-Guggenheim interests.
This bay is regarded by many as
the key to a transportation situation
which may carry with it control of
the Alaska coal fields.
The house committee on expendi-
lures in the interior department
opened an inquiry with the examina-
ton of Fred S. bennett, commission
er of the general land office, and Miss
M. A. Abbott, a writer.
Executive departments also were
set to work looking up records in the
case.
Richard s. Ryan, said to be a
secret agent of the Guggenheim syn
dictate and representing the Control
Ter Bay Navigation company, Sc
cured a frontage of 80 rods on the
bay.
Published charges have been made
that Ryan wrote a letter to former
declaring that he (Ryan) had asked
Charles p Taft about the Controller
Bay claims and that following this
the president made no further objec-
ton to my claim"
Commissioner bennett was sum-
moned to tell what he knew of an
order by the president throwing the
land open to entry. Miss Abbott
claimed to have made a copy of the
alleged letter from Ryan to Ballinger.
Commissioner bennett informed the
committee that the original order
opening the Controller Bay land to
entry was changed after it reached
that Richard S. Ryan gained great
advantage over other litigants. AS
originally written the order provided
that entry men could not file on the
land for so days after the order was
issued. This provision was mysteri-
ously dropped out, whereby the Ryan
claimants, who were on the ground
when the order reached Juneau. were
materially benefited.
Secretary of the Interior Fisher is
sued formal statement denying the
existence of the dick to dick letter
in the files of the department and as
sorting that neither a copy of the al
legged letter or any reference to it
was contained in the manuscript sub
mitted to him by Miss Abbott, or re-
ferred to by her in any way.
An informal statement was issued
at the White House denying that
Charles P Taft had ever written to
the president on the subject of Con-
troller Bay or that the president ever
talked with his brother in regard to
r. S. Ryan, and adding that a search
of the letter files of Charles P. Taft
in Cincinnati fails to disclose any
correspondence between him and
Richard Ryan, or between Mr.. Taft
and anybody relative to any Alaska
matter.
Miss Abbott. who discovered the
alleged letter, declined to make any
further statements in the premises.
She will appear before the commit
tee on Wednesday.

TEST VOTE ON RECIPROCITY
Defeat of Amendment Shows Victory
for Taft

1ngton.-President Taft gained
victory when the senate, in the first
test vote on the Canadian reciprocity
bill, defeated, IA to 80, the amend
ment proposed by Senator Cummins

from Canada on the free list The IA
votes cast for the amendment will be
undoubtedly cast against the passage
of the bill
This action foreshadows the course
of the senate with respect to other
amendments. 1t has been apparent

have his way in getting through un-
amended the Canadian reciprocity
compact.

amendment demonstrates that this ex-
pectation was well founded
