For the Women.

An interesting letter relative TO
the .roposed adoption in Cairo of the
commission plan of government is
given space in another column OF
this issue. 1t was written by a wo-
man who described the plan as a
highly recommended recipe handed
to the ladies who have tried the old
recipe and are anxious TO try the
new"
1t is gratifying TO know that the
women are taking an interest in the
movement. When you get right
down to The meat of it. the woman
resident should be as vitality interest
cd as the man in any plan that has
for its aim the reduction of the cost
OF living. 1t is the woman who does
most Of the worrying of this problem
in the average household and it is
her right and duty to take part In
the fight.

managed cities This is due to the
fact that the resources of the munich
pality are not wasted, or stolen and
costly improvements are not forced
upon the taxpayers so that contrac
tors may reap harvest. In poorly
managed cities the tax rate invar-
iably is high, The taxpayer. in tho
end. suffers for all the sins OF the tn
efficient or dishonest officials and
the ultimate sufferer is the house
wife.
In the homo OF the Average sal
aried man, the woman does most OF
the Worrying, II is through her
scTaping aud stinting that he is able
TO save enough money to pay his
taxes. If the commission plan Of
government promises an eventual re
duction Of taxss, she has every
reason to be interested.
The Bulletin urges tho women to
take an active part in the commits
sion plan movement. Its adoption
means as much for them as the men
ard IN many homes 1t means more.

Commission Plan Popular.

There can no longer be any ques-
ton In Cairo as to the popularity OF
the movement to bring about the es-
tablishment of commission form OF
government With the present cam
paign less than month old, it is
positively known that nearly SOC
voters have, affixed their signatures
to the petitions. 1t is believed BY
some OF the leaders in the movement
that with the proper amount of ex-
ploitation and canyassing il would
be simple matter to obtain from
1900 to 1900 signatures to the petit
lions. However. this would be a
needless task, as less than 800 names
are required to place the proposition
before the voters.
Those who have taken the lead in
the present movement concluded a.

no extraordinary measures would be
adopted to obtain the required mum,

were placed where they could be

Should Cairo adopt the commission

could be given a fair test, In ordes
to properly test the plan, II will b.
necessary to elect men Of irreproach-

how corrupt the officials under tho

be impossible for them to force any

MONDAY. FEBRUARY 10. 1913.
AN ALASKAN POLICY.

There Is a tragic undertnnr m the annual report of Governor Walter E. Clark of Alaska. which has just been presented in Wash ington. He calls attention to a de- crease in the white population of the province, and this he ascribcs to diminished activity in placer mining in the interior valleys and to inadequate land laws, to pub lie calumnies about Alaska which have kept capital without it's bor- ders, and to the failure of con- gress to lend necessary means of encouragement to the develop- ment of a virgin region. He re- grets the lack of railroad con- struction and cheap native fuel.
 We are reminded of the recon .struction period after the civil war, when the radical Washing ton government obstructed the normal recovery of the South from the desolation of war. It permit ted the North to prey upon the South. Though the conditions are dissimilar, there is, nevertheless, in the Alaskan situation sug- gestion of governmental negli- gence. It would be perfectly nat ural to permit the people of Alas ka to develop their resources and promote their interests as other pioneer sections have done. But when a policy of restriction is used, it is essential that the gov crning powers shall compensate for that which it takes away. When the state imprisons a man, it is bound to feed him. The com- missariat is a necessary adjunct of an army.
 In the name of conservationism, the government has interfered with the entrance of capital in- to the new country. Pursuant to this policy, it has repeatedly inti- mated a willingness to construct national railroads in Alaska. But the government has been too slow in adopting complete Alaskan policy. This is what Governor Clark clearly has in mind. If the retiring administration passes the question on to it's successor. and the next congress devotes it's time to a revision of the tariff sched- ules, it may be eighteen months before anything comes of the var iOus proposals that have been made. There is the rub.
