FISHERS PRACTICAL SCHEME.

About the soundes and practical suggestion which has yet been advanced the matter of furnishing Alaska with needed transportation facilities from Secretary Fisher He has for time advocated the construction by the gov ernment of railroad from Seward by way of the Matanuska coal fields into the interior of Alaska the take the existing mileage of the Alaska Northern Railroad
 Now he couples this suggestion with the further that immediately the completion of the Panama Canal the plant there Assembled much of it may be needed together with he trained force which has been digging the canal transpAred to Alaska and set to work this road shows that in the work of digging the canal there as immense amount of railroad construction of
 kind; that there has been assembled large amount of
 Id equipment which will not be needed when the canal
 led and that most of this could be used government
 ad in Alaska thus cheapenng the of construction eerially
 This is emnently practical suggestion in every respect he government has trained construction force working he thmus the finest which has been assembled in the worlds history. Under ordinary conditions with the compile on of the Panama Canal this splendy efficient machine will disband and its working parts will be dsspated into employment The machinery railroad equipment etc., used construction work will be sold petty faction org- nal cost
 This splenddly efficient machine splenddly equipped built by years of hard work could be put public than in the construction of the proposed railroad which must be built by the government at a o rthe policy has driven capital out of such work in Alaska It is al together probable that using the Panama force and the Pna equipment it stands the government could in fact build railroad in Alaska far cheaper than any private could do the work Congress should accept the suggestion Post tIntelligencer.

THE principle of state aid aud
state supervision seems to Of
Ter the best solution Of the
road problem. The first state
to adopt state aid was New Jersey, a
law having been passed by the legls-
lature of that state in 1891. Since
that time about two-thirds of the states
of the Union have adopted some form
of state aid or state supervision.
In order to receive the aid OF the
state the counties or townships are re
auired to pay a portion OF the cost
This amount varies in the different
states from o5 TO 80 per cent. but IN
some of the states the whole cost OF
certain trunk line roads is paid by the
state. The principle of state aid is
that the state contribute to road i'm

which all taxpayers contribute. The
fund does not come from farmers
alone, but from all the people, and

REPEALED BY BILL
Permanent Tariff Board Is
Provided for and the Tariff
on Print Paper Is Fixed at
Two Dollars Per Ton.

TkT ASHTNGTON. July 26.-Demo-
NM Gratis and progressives united
Wv again in the senate tonight,
and by vote of 36 to 18,
passed the Democratic excise tax bill,
extending the present tax on corpora
tions, to the business of individuals,
private firms and copartnerships.
Attached to the measure, also by the
aid of Republican votes. were amend
ments for the repeal of the Canadian
reciprocity law and the fixing of a
two dollars per ton tariff on print pa
per: and for the establishment of a
permanent nonpartisan tariff commits
sion,
The passage Of the excise bin became
certain early in the day. and the Re-
publican leaders offered little opposi-
tion to it. Senator Borah, in a fight
to have his income tax bill substituted
for the "tax on business lost by a
vote of SO to 23. although he mustered
to his support many regular Repubh-
cans and four Democrats -Ashurst,
Culberson, Hitchcock and MARITIME.
The Democratic majority stood al
most solidly against any change in the
house bill that would threaten it's de-
feat They declared the ttaT on bust
ness" was clearly constitutional, while
an income tax had once been held un-
constitutional by the supreme court,
and might again suffer that fate.
On the passage Of the excise bill. the
bills were supported by the following
progressives and insurgent Rcpubli-
cans:
Bourne, Bristow. Clapp, Crawford,
Cummins, Gronna, Jones, Kenyon, La
Toilette, Nelson, Poindexter, Townsend
and Works
The measure was changed from The
original house bin only In minor par

Canadian reciprocity repeal and the
permanent tariff commission provision.
1t Will go back to the house for the
approval of that body. and it is be-

reached 80 that perfected measure
can be laid before the president. The
