 "Fitzgerald, chairman of the ap- propriations committee, stating that he had opposed the project in the first place, insisted that it would be false economy not to grant this appropria- tion.
 "The policy of government con- , struction had been adopted and money spent. He asserted that with this money from 500 to ,OOO now idle men at Anchorage could be re-employed and that since Alaska transport in winter is easier than after the spring ithaw, supplies now could be freighted in along the route at a cost of cent a pound against the 8 cents a pound it would cost in the summer.
 Unexpectedly favorable labor conditions, he said, had made it pos sible for the commission to accomp- fish more last season than had been hoped for.

STORY OF EMERGENCY
 BILL TOLD OUTSIDE
  Ashmun Brown of Post Intelligencer Who Was Present at De- bate Tells It.

Ashmun Brown, Washington cor respondent of the Seattle Post-Intel- ligencer, who was present at the de- bate on the Urgency Deficiency tells of it just about as it appeared in the Gateway. He makes it clear that the opposition was just political and very unimportant. The following is his account:
 WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan 2O.- Because the item of $2,OOO,OOO con taincd in the deficiency appropriation bill offered the Republicans an Op- portunity for pointing out the Demo- cratic practice of spending without making adequate provision to get the money, that item was under attack for an hour in the house today. Ad- journment came before the matter was settled, immediately after an amendment by Gillette, of Mas sachusetts, to strike out the item had failed overwhelmingly leaving the item open to attack tomorrow. The attack may be renewed, but it is not to be seriously directed at the item itself.
 Gillette Praises Project
 "In offering his amendment to strike, and in answering numerous in- terrogatories, Gillette spoke in terms of praise of the work that has been done on the railroad, but, he argued, unless the Democratic side of the house "has some means of bringing in the revenues we must cut off luxuries. If we are going to stop eX- pending on this luxury we should stop now before we have spent any more, because in the regular appropri- ation more than $1OOOO,OOO is being asked for this work"
 Answering a question by Cox, of Indiana, Gillette said that the rail road purchased (the Alaska North ern) was in very bad shape. J. Hampton Moore, of Pennsylvania, spoke of the railroad as a "very

sO-cHNT GASOLINE AHEAD

That gasolene will get up to 40
cents the gallon by June, and that
before the wars end it will reach 30
cents, is the conclusion of the New
York World after survey Of the
world situation and a study Of the
authorities. This does not seem ex-
IRENE, in view Of the course Of prices
in recent months, and the established
facts about supply and demand.
There has been introduced in Con-
gress a bill to impose an export tax
of 30 cents a gallon on gasolene ex-
ported. The measure is ACCIDENTALLY
interesting; nothing more. There
might be an embargo on gasolere ex-
ports; there will be no export tax, at
least not until the Constitution shall
have been changed. In Article l,
Sec. TX, Par. 5, that venerable but
still more or less respected instru-
ment says:
No tax or duty shall be laid on
articles exported from any State.
There might be some uncertainty
whether this means what it says; but
it happens that the Supreme Court
has repeatedly insisted that it does

GREAT FALLS PLAN NEAR
VICTORY

The Senate came within an eye
lash of adopting the Great Falls
power development project as an
amendment to the Shields water
power bill. Senator Norris offered it
as an amendment, carrying provision
for expenditure up to $4,000, 900,
and it was rejected by a vote of %
yeas to 80 nays.
Advocating the project, of which
he has made a careful study, Senator
Norris pointed out that the time is
near when a large share Of this
money. must be spent, in any case
in order to expand the water supply
of the District. It is a question
merely whether the improvement
shall be started soon enough to make
the dual development possible, and
whether that development shall be
made part of the plan. There is the
highest engineering testimony in
favor of using the power to provide
electric current for Washington.
The temporary defeat of the pro,
posal by so close a vote should dis
courage nobody. Rather, the show
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1916-03-08

ing is highly encouraging, and SEN
ator Norris SO regards il, announcing
that he will press the matter fur
Their.
The last serious objection to the
Great Falls development was re-
moved when the Government author
lied construction Of plant to af-
ford electricity for public uses here.
This plant would be available for use
as an auxiliary, at certain seasons,
of the Potomac hydro-electric plant.
The Government already owns sew
eral big electric power establish
ments, and their combined capacity,
with the new one about to be in
stalled, would provide the necessary
auxiliary service. There is thus no
possible objection to making use Of
the wonderful power which the Po-
tomac brings to the door Of Wash
ington. It would be developed and
conserved in the public interest in
any progressive community on earth;
it should be utilized here.
Recent analyses have shown that
Washington pays outrageous prices
for electric current to the corporate
monopoly which now controls this
business. There must be an end ia
this exaction; and the one sure way
to bring that end is to harness and
use the Potomac power.

BRITAIN'S NAVY AND OURS

Naval preparedness as a theory
and naval preparedness as a condi-
ton could not be better illustrated
than in the declaration of Admiral
Fletcher to Congress Of the state of
our navy, and the announcement Of
Balfour, first lord of the admiralty,
as to the great increase Of the Brit
ish navy. $780,. ....
1t has been nineteen months since
the war came and in that time the
tonnage of the British navy has been
increased by one million. At the
outbreak Of the war the Naval Intel
ligence Bureau Of the United States
Navy Department credited the Brit
ish navy with tonnage Of 2,174,106.
After losing all kinds Of war vessels
Great Britain has a greater navy
more battleships, more cruisers,
more torpedo boats, more subma-
rines, more everything-than she
had the first day her fleet sailed into
the North sea to begin the war-has
more by almost 80 per cent.
And after nineteen months of that
war in Europe, with our country a,
peace, with none Of our ships lost in
battle, with no problem on our hands
except to make ready for whatever
might happen, Admiral Fletche,
tells us that, under, the present pro

than three years to get even our ex'
listing ships properly equipped ant
