A GOOD PROGRAM.

One of the Republican clubs of Anchorage has answered the request of George C. Hazelet for program for Alaskan development for sub- mission to the platform committee of the Republican national commit tee and has submitted the follow ing: i, full territorial form of gov ernment with a board of adminis- tration located in Alaska to have charge over the natural resources {: ?, early completion of the Govern ment railroad and a system of wag on roads and trails; 5, more liberal laws for the development of coal lands; 1, relief for gold mining; 5, protection for the fisheries; 6, i'm mediate improvement of mail serv ice; 2, extension of lighthouse serv- ice and aids to navigation; 8, en- couragement to pulp industry; 9, re- peal of laws for the protection of predatory animals in Alaska. :: .+
 The program is constructive, comments the Democratic Alaska Juneau) Daily Empire, and one that all parties in Alaska should make part of their platforms. The Empire is particularly pleased that full territorial form of govern ment is put first, and that coupled with it is an endorsement of the Lane development board plan. They are in their proper place.

THE TAXPAYER REVOLTS.

America was willing to go to the limit in fighting Germany, but re- ports of criminal extravaganza and wastefulness by the Government don't it well with the average cit izen, struggling under taxes the highest this country has eyer lnown. The report of the senate com mittee which investigated the work of the United States Housing COZ poration. points out the editor of Leslie's Weeklly, is scathing in tdictment of extravaganza. Buildings of a permanent character were al most invariably erected, although the original act provided for temporary buildings as a general rule, and per manent structures only when they would best serve the Government s interest. Furnishings included elec- tric door openers, and n some in- stances garages. Architects were i employed on work in distant parts of the country, the Government pay ing all travelling and incidental ex- penses. It was found, too, by this i bipartisan senate committee, that ; bids were never publicly opened
 and that no one whose bid had been
 rejected knew what the proposal of the successful bidder was.
 A house committee Investigating war expenditures establishes the fact
 that automobiles worth more thar 35,000,O00 were allowed to go te ruin through exposure to the weath CT at the motor transport corp: base at Vernuil, France, and tha'
 $500 motorcycles, after being placed in perfect repair, were parked ou of doors at the same place unti
 they became useless junk. The ex
 posture of such criminal wasteful
 ness should be followed by exposure
 and punishment of the officials wh,
 were responsible for it. The long
 suffering taxpayer is rightfully sor'
 at being compelled to pay for thu
 millions of dollars worth of proper ,ty that has been thus wasted.
