Secretary Lane would establish Board

give allihe national assets of that terri
tory, to be used primarily for It's improve
ment--its land fisheries, Indians. Eski-
mos, seals, forests mines, waterways,
railroads. all in TACT, that the nation
owns, cares for, controls or regulates.
The arguments set forth by the Secre-
tary in favor os the above policy are con-
sincing: In the first place, such board
would advise Congress as TO what should
be done, without prejudice and out of a
deep national interest and with 6rst-hand
knowledge of conditions. 1t would CO.
ordinate the present enterprises OF ths,
Government. As matters stand, the
coutrol OF land is in one department, oil
forests in another, roads in another, Of
fisheries in fourth, and Of railroads in
still another department.
Every one will agree With the Score
iary that there can be no satisfactory
administration of land laws, nor indeed

Borrowing Money.

"When one goes to the bank" we are
told, che obligatest himself to the bank.
1t may be only by slip of paper for
payment OF some dollars Of money,
but there is danger it will not end
there" The inference is that when
one borrows money he assumes an OBJ
legation more than to repay the prin-
cipal and interest. which is doubtless
oftenethe case. but. assuming the me-
cessity of borrowing, it is doubtful if
the transaction ordinarily creates as
much obligation to the bank as it does
to some accomplishing friend. For a
bank the loaning Of money constitutes
its regular line Of business 1t buys
and sells credits and is supposed to
loan on purely commercial considera-
lions. II person, howevere borrows
from friends or relatives, the loan is
always regarded as personal favor
calling for favors in return In addi-
ton to repayment.
Moral: If you must borrow money
and in doing so want to incur the least
possible "obligation," borrow from the
bank. Omaha Bee.

Development OF the parcel Post

Some idea of the popularity of the
parcel post with the public is shown by
the amount of business don. by this
branch of Uncle Sans service. During
the FIRST six months Of its establishment.
January to June. 1913, approximately
3oo, 900, 900 parcels were handled, and of
this number more than $500, 900 were
insured. Insurance rates we're readjusted
on July I, so that insurance up to $25
costs only cents. and from $25 to $50,
10 cents. A collect on deliver service
was also estaplished July I Increases in
maximum weight limits and reductions
in rates of postage for certain
zones have twice been made since the
parcel post was established, and that
the system has dealt death blow to the
express companies is proven by the fall
ing of in the receipts of these public
carriers to the amount of thousands of
dollars. To such an extent have the
losses been felt that one express company
has decided to suspeu operations and Is

As To Alaska.

The signing by the President of the
bill appropriating $4,000, 900 for the
construction Of governments owned rail.
road in Alaska. draws public attention 10
this little known valuable possession OF
the United States.
1t is nearly half a century since we pur.
chased Alaska. In the interim we have
paid so little attention to this vast terri
tory-the largest body of unused and
neglected land in the United States-tha,
it is inhabited by less than 40, 600 white
Inhabitants gain of less than 900
for each year since ii passed beneath our
nag. In the intervening forty six wears
we have got from Alaska more than we
have given; for it has repaid our inexcus-
able, neglect by adding to our wealth
through the yield of its mines, fisheries.
and fnrs alone, more than $500, 600, 900,
The recent report of the Secretary OF
the Interior is well calculated to awaken
a widespread national interest in this
neglected country. and sense of our
national duty to provide for its intelligent
and systematic development and govern
ment-. The prospector has proved that
no other section of our land makes SO
rich mineral promise, and the Govern
ment has demonstrated that in agricul-
ture. Alaska will produce in abundance
everything that can be raised in The
Scandinavian countries.

With April 6, the closing day Of the
Legislature, staring them in the face, our
State law makers are beginning to appre-
ciate the fact that the weeks of time
wasted by them in doing little but dis
agree with each other has piled so much
work on the closing days that it will be
impossible to complete the half Of It.
While the Governor on Friday he'd an
even hundred bills before him, that had
been passed, the measures were of an
unimportant kind, TO which no objection
was made. 1t is charged that this Legis-
lature is the worst ever as far as doing
the work promised is concerned.
Mnchot the legislation pledged by the
party platforms is still in progress of for
nation, and other important measures
are still to be considered. Oyster leg's-
lation is still causing trouble.
The mass and unit vote primary cleo
ton bills are bobbing up and down, I'M
settled. The counties are opposed to the
mass vote proposition, and its defeat IS
regarded as certain.
The outcome OF racing legislation In
troduced early in the session is not yet
known. The road loan situation is by no
means settled. The Veasey $4,000. 900
road loan is scheduled for consideration
by the House during the week, and then
there is the Price bill in the Senate, and
still another bill offered Monday. This
was the fiat 81. 900, 900 loan bill prepared
by the Democratic Platform Committee.
The personnel of the State Tax Com.
mission has been settled and the bill will
probably pass. The Commission will
have big task. as it will have to adjust
the taxable basis so the tax rate will
mean the same for all parts of the State.
The initiative and referendum is moi
popular with our conservative law max.
ers and the proposed amendment will, II
all likelihood, be defeated.
Other measures to be disposed of are
the general appropriation bills, the de
ficiency bill, the bill fixing the Safe taz
rate. the workipgmen's compensation
bill. the Statewide prohibition amend
ment and hundreds Of minor bills.

Maryland In Danger OF National
Dlsurace.

A"Only the best of efforts of Maryland's
public spirited>citizens to defeat the bill
now before the Senate Committee on
Agriculture and Labor, reducing the age
limit for children employed in canneries
from IL years to 10, can save the state
from disgrace in the eyes of the nation, !"
says Owen R. Lovejoy of the National
Child Labor Committee. 1.-THE Claim of
those favoring the bill that Io-year old
child is better of in the capnery than in
the city is manisiestly wrong. An inves
tipation recently carried on by the Ma.
tional Child Labor Committee showed
that living conditions in MARYLAND can
neries are exceptionally bad, the people
being much over crowded; that children
who s'help'' in canneries do not work
lust a few hours as claimed but are forced
by their parents or employers to begin
work as early as a or q. NJ. and keep at
it the whole day along with the adults,
and that children employed in cauneries
lose about weeks at the beginning of
the Fall term of school, thereby falling
far behind their classes. Even before
the present bill was proposed the Nation
al Child Labor Committee reported the
conditions in Maryland as exceptionally
bad. The passing of this bill will make
Maryland disgrace to the nation"
Mr. Lovejoy further states that since
many states have ID year age limit for
children working in canneries. ev n
Marvland's present ~ year limit is regard
ed. as low. Maryland herself places a IA
year limit on children employed in mills,
factories, workshops. and other mechsn-
ical establishments with which canneries
should be classified.
