The Budget System Beaten
(New York World

It would have been simple matter for Con gress to have amended the National Budget Bill in such way as overcome the objections made on constitutional grounds by the President
 The provision expressly reserving to Congress the power the Comptroller General and the Assistant Comptroller General, officials to be appointed by the President, in the usual way with the advice and consent of the Senate, was inserted in the bill for that have never been CT planed It hardly possible that ii was aimed at President Wilson personally, for his term Will soon expire, and his successors Democrats and Re pubicans would be subject to the same restric- tons. It may be attributed to the growing ten dency of Congress toward the invasion of the executive power or perhaps to more obscure purpose.
 There are circles in Congress where the budget system has never been viewed with enthusiasm It was certain diminish the importance of man, committees of the House and Senate that eXercist control over appropriations. It was bound to ac; as restraint upon Congress when meditating sud den plunges into extravaganza like the Soldier Bonus bill. It thoroughly businessike plan for dealing with the national finances, which alone would render any budget system obnoxious to the average politician.
 To compass the defeat of budget legislation by roundabout methods might be considered clever he more so if accomplished through the inno- device of single paragraph buried in the body of the bill

Transportation Needs
(Da wsOn News


 Numerous authenticated reports come from the coast that the transportation lines serving Alaskan this year will be unable supply all demands for passage. Tourists have booked passage months in advance Practically everything is reserved for the trip from Seattle Vancouver to Prince Ru- pert Skagway and other Alaskan coast ports, and return.
 Northerns who intend to travel northbound or Houthbound will have great difficulty in getting reservations accommodations of any kind from now until the close of the tourist season. which runs well into September. That means that people of the Yukon in common with those of the Alas kan who make their homes in the North are embarrassed. Something should be done to see that this embarrassment is removed
 If the ships at present catering to the tourist business cannot take of the permanent residents and the essential travellers to and from the North engaged in the development and occupation of the land, effort should be made to that addi- logical. mine engineering and other service in this men cannot get here all development is set back, and the transportation lines themselves suffer loss of tonnage and general business.
 No end of delay and loss of time to the people of the North may result if the remedy not be forth coming The people of the North made this country what it is and built up the attractions and the industries which support the coast lines. The lines should not forget this and are morally bound do all within their power to ac- commodate the northerners Now is the time to bring the fact home to the traffic lines through representative channels.

IS ALASKA A SEATTLE POSSESSION?

An article recently published in the Philadelphia Public Ledger Alaska and Seattle as the gateway of it's possibilities contains the following in troductory:
 Think of this bustng, fresh air city being the sole corridor to natures storehouse twelve times as large as the state of New York and one-ffth the size of the United States; virgin out doors rich beyond belief in agricultural possibilities, fish ing furs, power, coal and other minerals, roll of more than $200 900 00O and a back country produces lavishly of staples but if asked to state her most prceless possessions l would un- hesitatingly say Alaska. Seattle being the sole market place of an that has gold than California, copper than Michigan and Arizona combined, more coal than Pennsylvania the richest fisheries in the world is something that the gods bestowed.
 Seattle of course is interested in the develop ment of Alaska It means as much to the one as to the other But to claim that Alaska is d possession of the Puget Sound metropolis is somehow objec- tonable Aaskans Alaska has had many claim ants, and rulers. Each new dscoverer an nexes it for his own and each succeeding admins- traion puts in a set of overlords. But Alas kans still have hope, despite disappont tments, that some day in the not distant future, they will be try makers of their destiny, rather than squat ters on a possession of Seattle any other sity, state organization, municipal financial, poli- tical It is that hope which holds most of them to the task of carving homes out of the last frontier

A Story With A Moral

A Respondent man decided to end his life, so he bought a rope and went out into his garden and tied the rope to the branch of a tree fixed a moose, put the moose around his neck and jumped off the step ladder on which he stood. He was slowly but surely strangling when a man passed the house and noticed the man hanging himself. The man rushed in, cut down the would-be sui eide and worked over him until the latter had fully recovered. Where upon the rescued man abused his rescuer and ordered him off the premises.
 One week later, notice was served on the rescuer that he had been made the defendant in a damage suit. He was charged with having trespassed on private property, cutting and dam, aging new rope in an inclosed space of which the plaintiff is the owner. and charged with interfering in the carrying out of certain operation much to the chagrin and distress of the plaintiff And the plaintiff de- manded $1,000 damages
 The Moral is: Mind your own business" JR,

THE POLITICAL YEAR

Politics should be everybody's business this year. With convention matter of history, and the second rapidly approaching with Presidential cam paign breaking like the light of a dawning day, let no man say that it is not his business-for 1t is very much his business, and it is going to be attended if not by himself, then by somebody else That Alaskans have vote in the national election does make it less interesting or i'm portant to them the in the States, in fact it vtally concerns them than others since we are more directly under control of the national government than are residents of the States
 News during the summer and until November will be largely favored with politics. The news pa pers ought have apologies to make respect ing the amount of space devoted to political affairs for the several months They should not be serving the community the main object of thelr existence. if they printed less It is an important matter, this thing of eectng President for the next four years and the whole campaign ought to discussed in the newspapers as well as wherever and gather
 The fellow who boasts that he takes no interest in politics is foolish, either in not taking an inter est in his boasts IL is not necessary Tor one to get down into the mire and mud of old-fashoned politics if that expression be properly used
 t is not required of any that he neglect his private affairs in discussing and measures; it is not wise to become $ feryent that all else Is neglected But it is plain common sense flor every enc to know what is going on. read about men
 and issues to study political declarations become aware of what parties and members of parties have fin mind what they likely to do if successful at the polls. Holding such belief and with this ,,rnose in mind The Empire considers it would have failed in its duty to Alaska had it failed to call attention to the fact that the Republican party fin it's declaration of policies be carried if it wins the election is absolutely silent with respect

I'm getting sick and tired of living with rounder Other men are at home with thei" wives while you are roaming down town. You were not doing anything decent until this time in the morning.

 This however is but incident in the cam paign. One does not necessarily have to be either Democratic Republican to draw obvious conclus- ions.

The hand of special interests appeared at the Cspitol recently when Senator Underwood, the Dem ocratic leader, exposed their attempt to defeat the Governments plan operate the great nitrate plant built up at Muscle Shoals Ala, during the war. Ca pable of producing thousands of tons of nitrate an nuay, the operation of this plant would go far to- ward relieving the fertilizer shortage from which farmers are suffering, and would also insure the country ample supply of nitrate for muntion pur- poses In the past, the country has been dependent wholly on Chile for her nitrate supply.

 A paragraph in the memorial address delivered by General Pershing at Arlington emphasizes the sad truth of Whittier's haunting lines. We'll may the nation heed the great Generals words, uttered under the inspiration of thoughts and emotions born in hours of bitterness when he brave dying because their country had been too slow to realize great danger and prepare to meet it.
 These words with profit might be committed to memory by every American citizen, conned by every present American mother of son. taken gravely to heart by every truly American statesman. They are simply expressed is the heart of the soldier
 My countrymen I pray you take such able measures in times of peace that never again shall it fall the lot of commander to suffer the anguish of soul that when of necessity our gallant young manhood must unjustly bear the bur den of our thoughtlessness and be sent to battle without adequate preparation.
