Not Drawing Back, Gentlemen?
Cincinnati EnQuirer l


 AS might nave been forcseen there is arising a tide of opposition the proposed exemption of Amer ican vesesls from tolls in the Panama Canal What IS unusual about it Is the fact that the objection comes rom Republican newspapers. which gave loyal adherence to the platform and the Presidential can oldate Tn the past campaign There are two schools or thought among these opponents. The first fears the result Of denouncing the Hay -Paucefoe treaty made by Republican Administration and later an. proved by the party leadership in the Senate in supporting President Wilson's insistence mon observ ing that pact
 The second school--the largest by the wav-oh ects to the upkeep of the canal being saddled upon the taxpayers of the United States This it is argued would be the result if American cargoes arc exemntod because more than half of the revenue today comes rom that source. The canal is now having us expenses and, if traffic keeps growing soon will ue dple to meet the interest upon and bcsin to ahortize the charged-of cost of it's construction The canal originally was built for strategic purposes just us lorts are constructed and railway lines laid put the practical American believes thct public enter pises should pay their way if possible It is because the proposal Is made to favor the American merchant marine by freeing it from contributions to the un heep ana operation of the waterway and saddlinp e cost upon the general taxpayer that the protests are appearing ~ r''' clsguised subsidy from the Federal Government Mhlch gets the money it gives from the taxnavars me question at issue is whether the country which Aeely desres the upbuilding of a national mercba mi ai me second 10 none in the world is willing to sat le the ol directly by open subventions or indirectly III myriad Of forms The Panama Canal will not pay US operating expenses If it must depend unon tos rom foreign shipping clone The difference mns, eone out or the Federal Treasury

Hurry Up the Budget Bill.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 There is one measure upon which the present Congress act immediately without interfering with any plans of the incoming national Admnis- tration This is the bill installing the budget system as part of a scheme of government. All of the political parties which took action upon this sary reform approved it in their national conventions
 Had it not been for captious and unworthy op- position on the part of certain members of Congress the budgetary system would be in operation. Despite warning these insisted upon taking the mat ter of appointment of the chief budgetary official out of the hands of the President and placing it with Ia Cabinet official To still their clamor and end their obstruction the other members accepted it in this doubtful form only to find that the otherwise willing President acting upon the advice of the At made it clearly unconstitutional.
 Then came a nasty revising and the replacing CT the power Of nomination in the hands of the President. Amended, the bill was rushed through the House of Represen tatves and would have been adopted by the Senate but for the mulish obstnacy Iof three members who fillbustered until no action could be taken, the project being reluctantly aband oned Once fully in operation the requests upon Congress for appropriations will proceed from cen tra and responsible source, the President himself acting through Comptroller General Review is pro- vided through auditors and the Secretary of the Treas ury, but the main point is achieved, l. e. the sub mission of the financial needs as comprehensive e whole to Congress instead of heterogeneous mass of meaningless estimates from the various depart ments
 Congress should reciprOcate by abolish nc It's numerous appropriatng committees and uniting upon one subordinate body which shall pass upon the budget and submit the money bills flowing it's de- ntonds Together this will mean the first sep toward reduction In government expenses, because when re- sponslbility becomes fixed for the outflow from the treasury economy will automatically follow It can not be otherwise

TIME FOR RIGID PUBLIC ECONOMY.

One of the things that should be given very serious consideration in Alaska next year is that or economy in public expenditures. The Territory and her various municipalities should get along with the smallest amount of that will be comptibe with the general good Those engaged in the fisheries in- djstrgs are planning not to open many of the can reries next, year. The copper miners are reducing their 1urces and the gold properties are being oper- ated in most instances without profit Prices are falling in many lines and that always creates unsettled conditions and weakening of credits The need hour is lessening of burdens on business and industry wherever that is possible
 The next Territorial Legislature, therefore, should give very careful thought to the question of holding appropriations down to the lowest practicable point That would mean, of course, two year period of the strictest public economy. But it is a time for that. The next year two will be period of read justment By the time it passes conditions should be settled We shall know better where at two years from now, and If things well, they undoubt edly will be- prepare for greater ac tivities in public matters. Business and industry have problems to solve that less enig- nautical at the present time. The welfare of the country depends in large upon the sue with which they solve these problems There be progress in the country when business and ihdustry not prosperous The burdens and handcaps, therefore, during the period of readjust ment .shoud be as light possible.

ATTITUDE OF THE MINORITY.

At-that there probably few Democrats in the country who appreciate the attitude of Speaker Reed when, the middle of the Harrison elected majority of two in the National House of Representatives Reed Speaker of the Republican Congress about to be displaced but re- elected to membership in the incoming Democratic House. newspaper reporter called upon him to get an interview. The great from Maine said to the reporter, If you find a man in the country who will make his salary easier, enjoy him than will for the years, I do not for the life of me, know where you will locate him"
 However, while there is doubt feeling of great relief in the breasts of many of those Demo- crats who have been charged with public responsi- bility, the patriotic attitude for members of the minority party to take is that expressed recently by iomer Senator James Hamilton Lewis of Illinois when he said
 We must stand behind all administra-
 tons, National, State and City, and give
 them the push to make for the big successes
 Tor which the people ready
 That Is what is meant by abiding by the will of me majority. The opposition is not called upon to throw Instructions in the road It is not A part of patriotism to attempt to harrass the majority and make It difficult for it to formulate its policies If the policies are not satisfactory to the opposition when they are formulated is it's duty to oppose them' but until then 1t should aid with its advcc and counsel for the countrys good and wherever pos sible give support.

Think They Are Wrong.
(Dpuglas Island News.)

(Doug1as Island News.)
 Although hold brief for Juneau, are of the opinion that the Chronicles protest the removal of the Forest Service headquarters from Ket chkan to the capital city is not well sustained by facts, In this time of elimination of lost motion that has been started in the Territory it to be a wise move to have the headquarters of many departments possible in place, and that place is Juneau. Juneau is, too, much nearly the of the Alaskan National Forests than is Ket- chkan situated that city is, the extreme tip of Alaska.
 The establishment of the forest headquarters at Juneau will eliminate much needless correspondence and waste of time when the forester in charge for Alaska makes his headquarters there. Seekers of per mits and other things transact all their business at visit to the capital city, every Federal bureau with which he has to deal with will be at that place.
 At that, not blaming the Chronicle for protesting for that is of the duties of news paper to attempt to retain and obtain everything for the community in which it is published
