the need is for action of a construc- tive nature, and adequate handling of the existing problems; and the ques- tion of who shall be entrusted with power to carry out the action is of secondary importance. Wherever the authority is placed, it should be placed without delay, and so concen- trated as to be effective; and what ever arrangement is made should pro, vide for the use of all the powers of the government to see that the laws, whether applied to fisheries or to other matters, are enforced.-Pacific Fisherman.

CONSTRUCTIVE ACTION, NOT

There has been a good deal of pull ing and hauling between the various interests concerned with the admins tration of Alaska, as. to who should control the affairs of the territory, Federal departments and bureaus, which have handled large part of the administrative control, have been jealous of their prerogatives and anxious to extend their power; while Alaskan residents, officials and busi- ness interests have insisted that the territory be granted more authority ever it's affairs. This has been not ably true in discussions of fishery matters.
 It Is in fact not important whether the territory or the federal govern nent administers the Alaska fisheries,

ALASKA PRIMARY LAW

The coming flask legislature should abolish that Alaska primary law. There is no doubt this law causes no end of confusion, destroys party organization and tend in from tier country to the nomination of a class of public officials which do not make for progress.
 The nomination of John Rusgard for the office of attorney-general of the territory, and his subsequent notice on the Republican organization of the territory that he wants the appoint ment of federal judge in the first di- vision is a fair example of the prim- ary law. Had there been a conven- tion of the first division Republicans, Mr Rustgard would not have been considered for the attorney-general nomination when it was known he as- pired to the office only as a stepping stone to a presidential appointment. MT. Rustgard asks too much of the patience of the public. Bitterly op- posed within and without of his own party, he is hardly elected before he makes demands for another office.
 There was a time when Alaska de. manded direct primary law. That time is now past and Alaska should return to party nominations made by party leaders in convention as sembled.-Alaska Dispatch.

THE STOP IT" SYSTEM IS NOW
 MOST NEEDED

The budget system will help reduce public expenditures toward a normal level. But the "stop it" system will do more to accomplish this desirable end.
 Congress must go after public ex- penditure, not with pruning knife, but with an axe. The question to be asked concerning any demand upon the public treasury is not: "Is this desirable?" but "Is it absolutely ne- cessary?"
 It is several hundred times as easy to create a public job as to destroy one. It is far easier to begin spend ing money on a certain object than to limit or terminate the expenditure once authorized.
 The situation is not one calling for mild measures. The most drastic, bru- tai economy must prevail. The man of business sense who is spending be- yond his means avoids bankruptcy by mercilessly cutting eff what he can- not afford, and going without. This is the policy Uncle Sam must follow.
 Patriotic legislators must be will ing to sacrifice their own pct projects in order to make general policy of economy possible This is no time for enlarging the money-spending activi- ties of government.
 The fact that public jobs are now being held by deserving Democrats, and next year might be patronage for Republicans, cannot weigh in such an emergency. The unnecessary jobs, the non-essential activities of govern ment, the dispensable bureaus, com missions and agencies, must go.
 The people of this country are in no mood to accept excuses for the con- tinuance of public expenditures at anything like their present level. They realize that one of the chief causes of the high cost of living is the high cost of government. They realize that the government is a lib- eral spender, but earns nothing; has no source of revenue but the pocket of tie tax payers.
 Taxes are ruinous. They have been paralyzing in their effect on industry heretofore, but in future will be even more so. How is American industry to pay its 1920 taxes out of it's pros pective 1921 profits, Relief may have to be extended in order to prevent general breakdown in industry before the year is ended. And the taxes based upon 1921 profits are not like ly to be more than a fraction of the total to be collected next year.
 The disposition prevailing in con- gress for each member to economize at the expense of somebody else, and the system of courtesy whereby in defensible appropriations are put through to help some member of the house or senate to strengthen himself Sn his own locality, should this year be sacrificed to the supreme neces- sity of saving the nation from going broke, or from heaping on the backs of the American people taxes which are intolerable in their immensity.

depriving the miners of any support
of the press and apparently is tending
to ALLEVIATE the sympathy of large
section of the public.
The government proposal was that
wages should be fixed on a national

miners, should consider exceptional
cases requiring assistance from the

government for going too far in this
respect.

FRANCES REPLY
PLEASES HARDING
BRAND PROMISES TO PLACE zap
QUESTION BEFORE NEXT
SUPREME COUNCIL.
SAYS DELAY is NECESSARY
President Considers It An Acceptance
of the Principles Laid Down BY the
United States-Text of Mes
sage Mace Public.

Washington. President Harding
and Secretary of State Hughes are
encouraged over the French note in
reply to the recent American note to
the four principal allied powers re.
garding the japanese mandate over
the Pacific island OF Cap.
Premier Brands promise to place
the zap question before the Supreme
Council at it's next meeting, Washing
ton regards as forerunner of ac.
ceptance by France Of the principle
laid down by the United States that
it has not surrendered and cannot sur
render any of its rights in the former
German overseas possessions.
The French note, however. may
mean delay in the formulation Of the
treaty program by the United States,
which is to follow adoption OF the
Knox resolution ending the technical
state of war with the central powers.
Although President Harding hopes to
be able to submit to the Senate a re-
vised form of the Versailles treaty
Gere with American rights and inter
ests, he cannot do it unless the allies
will recognize the rights of the Unit
ed States in the German overseas pos
sessions as described in Secretary
Hughes note dispatched to the pow
ers recently.
France now says that the American
note cannot be finally answered until
the Supreme Council meets. The rea-
son assigned is that the powers In
acting on the zap mandate did so
Jointly andthat revision or reversal
Of their action sought by the United
States must necessarily be considered
Jointly. Washington officials recog-
nize that there is strength to this po-
sition and that it would be unbeccm-
ing of France to come out openly at
this time in recognition Of the Ameri-
can principle before she had con-
suited with Great Britain, Italy and
| Japan. For this reason little more
than France has said in her prelimi-
nary reply can be expected from the
other powers involved until the Su-
preme Council meets Another SEES
sion is expected either in May or
| June.
The text of the French note, which
| is in the form of a preliminary reply,
was made public both in Washington
and Paris. Premier BRAND gives as
surance that a representative of the
French government viii place the
question befor the Supreme Council
at it's next meeting, after expressing
the greatest desire to find solution
which will give every satisfaction to
the United States.
Premier BRAND declares that his

STORMS TOLL
IS HEAVY IN
MANY PLACES
MANY ARE KILLED AND INJURED
THROUGHOUT STATE OF
ARKANSAS.
TORNADO OF DEADLY FURY
Storm Apparently Originated in Texas
and Swept Northeast Into Arkan-
sas-First Strikes Three Miles
East of Texarkana.

Little Rock.-Many are dead as
result of the tornado which swept
through southwestern Arkansas re.
Gently.
The heaviest loss of life occurred
in Hampstead county.
1t is believed that the list is near
ly complete, over so persons being
reported killed, although it is posi-
BILE that belated reports might add u
few casualties to the list,
1t is impossible to ascertain the
number Of injured, but it may run to
200 or more. A considerable number
Of persons are reported seriously in.
iured and it is possible that the death
list may be increased from this
source.
Belated reports show that the
storms path extended north of the
section from which reports were re-
ceived.
Apparently the tornado originated
in Texas and swept northeast into
Arkansas. In this state it first struck
about three miles east of Texarkana,
causing heavy loss of life on farms
and plantations in the Red river Sec
ton. 1t next swooped down in Hemp.
stead county at Sheppard, about 10
miles southwest of Hope, where four
negroes were killed. Then it struck
the town of Dolph, i've miles north
west of Hope. The next place where
it S>ruck down was in the Marlbrook
anC Iakajones settlements, about 10
miles north of Hope, and three miles
south of BIevins.
Apparently the tornado rose after
leaving the Marlbrook and Jakajones
settlements and when 1t descended
again at Mount Pisgan, near Delight
in Pike county, it's fury had abated
somewhat, although it caused the
death of Oscar Harris, farmer there,
and probable fatal injuries to his wife
and baby.
Then the storm struck down on the
edge of Gravelly, in the western part
Of Yell county, causing one death, in
Jury to several persons and the de-
struction of many homes.
The northernmost fatality is report
ed from Appleton in Pope county,
northeast of Russellgille.
There the storm seems TO have
spent its fury, for although Benton
county, in the northern part OF the
state, reported hard blow, the loss
Of property was slight compared with
that in the districts further south.
The storm also caused several inju-
ries at Friendship, Hot Spring county,
but this town apparently was not in
the main path of the storm.
The loss of property can only be
guessed at. Hundreds Of homes were
destroyed. Nearly all of these were
the dwellings Of small farmers, who
already have been hard hit by the low
price Of cotton. All the cities in the
storm district have promptly gone to
the relief of the sufferers, however
and it is expected that the entire
state will respond If further assist
ance is needed.
