COUNTRY APPROVES

The country heartily approves Of the action Of the Senate in amending its rules in such way as Co permit majority of its members 10 do business. The unlimited debate rule that has always prevailed iu the United States Senate has caused lot of trou- ble during the last quarter century. Many times it has served to defeat the will of the majority by block ing legislation by long wDIed and either stubborn or peevish Senators Two years ago seven or eight Sen a;ors talked the Presidents shipping bill to death after ic had passed the House by tremendous ma- jcrity and when it would have had twenty majority in the Senate if i, could have been brought to vote
 Last week less than dozen Senators blocked the passage of most of the Presidents program for the short session Of Congress, including the armed tr2li,y bul the army appropriation blL the civil bill and oJhcrs-some Of them carrying appropriations for Alaska-notwthstandug there was assurance that ev- cry one OC the measures would have secured more than sixty majority if Senators had been permitted to vote The armed neutrality bill. which was the rock upon which thc legislation wrecked. had passed the House of Representatives by yo;e of more than 100 to I3
 But che day of such performances has past. Here after will be possible the United States Senate tD lygislate when che majority desires do so The change is one of the greatest or the many great forms achieved under Wl,s5u-the settlement Of one more problem that has veXed Jhe Nation for decades that will vey it no more because the President put his shoulder to the wheel and acted like retormerI instead of spending time trying to make political capital by simply talking like

BETTER BUSINESS
lEnirhnnks CItIzonl

Fairbanks CitZcn)
 Better days coming for the interior. Al least, tha. is to be Inferred from the telegram of Traffic Manager Zipi. of the Amercan-YUkOn Navigation com pany to the local headquarters of the transportation concern. The telegram asserts that five biG Yukon river packets will be in operation on the lawer YG- kon river this year and that six boats will be on the run between Dawson and Panama river points.
 Any transportation concern in any locality makes its business look the future. It is therefore very probable that the officials of the Americanlu uEoE Navigation Co., investigated thoroughly the prospects, for business during the coming summer before an- uOuncing that the company wl at greatly increased expense put at least four more boats in operation oa the waters Ot the interior.
 This means that the company expects better bu5i- ness this year ln fact, the telegram from Traffic Manager Zipf states that the tonnage during Che com !ng season Of navigation will be larger than 1t ever was before. This probability is due to the enormous shipments of freight which will be made from the Outside by the Alaskan Engineering Commission, but it also proves beyond a doubt that just much freight will be shipped by the merchants of the in- tcror in any other season, if not more. At least. ,he company appears to be depending on such ship mentS and is. the same time making arrangements to handle the freight Of the Engineering Commission without mpairng the regular freight service from the Outside to Fairbanks
