THE LESSON OF WASHINGTON'S ..63{s. POLL TAX.

The movement to recall Gov Hart of Washington because he signed the poll tax law will probably not set far It was condition and not theory that confronted the State of Washington. The people have been voting very heavy expenditures and the funds had to be raised to them. The Legislature provided poll tax: If the Governor had not signed
 the bill the State would find itself without the money with which to meet it's expenditures.
 There are many people, also, who believe the poll tax will do more than anything else could pos sbly do to awaken the to the need of econ omy in public expenditures. It has been in Washington and other States that nearly every proposition that is submitted to the people calling for the expenditure of money is voted for generally by the people An impression is growing that many propertyless people vote expenditures for the sake of creating more work, and that there is lack of sympathy for those who complain of high taxation The poll tax will bring it home to those who have rot been paying taxes in the past that all the people are very much interested in public economy
 It is not likely however, that the rich State of Washington will keep it's poll tax for many years It will meet the emergency and, perhaps, awaken
 the people to the need reduce the States expendi- turs. And the lesson will probably last a while because it will be noticed that the State has the power to levy direct poll may do it at any time if the cost of government becomes too great

SUTHERLAND TAKING RIGHT COURSE.

Delegate Sutherland is entitled to the congratula tons the people of Alaska for his steadas refusal participate in the contest for Federal offices in Alaska and his frequent statements that he purposes devote his1 entire time and attention to the work of representing the people of Alaska in Congress and herring this rule of conduct which he has laid down for himself the Delegate will be able to accomplish for the Territory than would be possible ii lie permitted himself become entangled in the game of practical politics
 It would be a great thing for the United States if the MT. Sutherland has adopted the rule throughout the country The mixing patronage and legislation has always operated the deriment Of the country. It that which developed the demand for Civil Service Reform and the progress sive movement which swept President Cleveland into office in 1884. It the paramount issue when the late Theodore Roosevelt first entered politics. and it this chosen theme at the Chicago Republican convention in 1884 when, chairman of the New York delegation, he bitterly opposed the nomination of James G. Blaine and supported Senator Edmunds The Civil Service Reform that accomplished ir that day helpful, but it never was carried fal enough. It is greatly to be hoped that the time will come when there will be so few political ap- pointments to office that the patronage question and legislation may be entirely separated When that time comes Presidential and Congressional elections will turn on issues and not appetite for office

 Of course, when the Associated Press does permit some to through it's service, there IS some times the of contradiction that so often occurs with other guesses For instance The Empire and the other Alaska Associated Press newspapers carried dispatch from Seattle Monday, March II, which quoted special dispatch to the Seattle Times from Washington which said that Senator Cummins had made representations Secretary Fall regarding the Alaskan Engineering Commission, and it said that Secretary Fall appoint John E. Balaine to succeed Col Mears to head the Alaskan Engineering Commission. This matter called to the atten- tion of Secretary Fall by the Anchorage Chamber o Commerce. Secretary Fall promptly replied that he had heard of the matter before he got the telegram from Anchorage The Seattle papers cores pondent had made evidently, bad guess

Gosh!

Dear Luke: Just as we left Tampa on the good ship Mascotte we un- folded a newspaper three days old but it contained your column, and that was all we cared. Just as we opened the paper large lady of at least sixty summers approached and asked to borrow the paper. We said she could have it just as soon as we read the Luke column, and it looked for while that we were go- ing to be thrown into the gulf She gave us to understand that she had no use for anybody that would read Luke McLuke stuff. We informed her that you were our neighbor at home, that you were pretty square fellow with a good reputation and a fine family. But she wouldn't listen to us. l don't know wheather it pays to try and defend you or not.

ENCOURAGEMENT IN PRESIDENT
 HARDING'S INTEREST.


 The message to the Alaska Legislature from Presi- dent Harding, transmitted through Delegate Suther- land is e4eouraging to the people of this Territory That President Harding has long been interested in Alaska has been aknown by those who have followed his record a member of the Senate Committee on Territories ffs reference' to. Alaska in his speech accepting Republican Presidential nomination was assurance that the welfare of the Territory stif n his mind. Now, through Delegate in Con gress comes his assurance:
 would be very glad if you would con
 and House of Representatives the assurance
 of my great appreciation of their expression
 and my keen and continuing interest in
 behalf of the welfare and development of
 Alaska
 The interest of President Harding in Alaska is more than a mere academic interest It is a recogni- tion of the need do something for the development the Territory something to recompense the people the damage that done when the withdrawals and reservations of lands and natural were made in 1906 and Flater. And, it is worth while say, President Hardng's record United States Senator is the proof that his keen interest usually results in action. eRt
 The fact that. keen interest by President o United States in any audable thing is courageous and Gqnickly spreads throughout the country will, also, be nbenefcial to Alaska The outlook for good results for Alaska never brighter than at the present time

Luke McLuke Says

Every middle aged woman would like to be young-but not too young
 We wouldn't mind being a Model Husband, only we know that we wouldn't have time to work at any thing else.
 After you marry one you will dis cover that a Blonde can be just as unfair as q Brunette.
 Tell an eighty-year-old grandmoth- CT how youthful she looks and she will know that you are a liar but she will love you for it just the same
 The only reason why a woman marries man who resembles 2 nickle's worth of nothing is because she is afraid some other woman will marry him
 Marriage is the alarm clock that shatters Loves Young Dream.
 After a wife catches her husband using her toilet water she hasn't the same faith in him she had before
 A thin girl may be graceful. But corn leu Slrl WnO WODDleS when she walks attracts the most atten- ion now days. ,J
 Every six days a sixteenyear-old princess meets the only fellow she will ever love
 Before marrige she trusts him with her soul After marriage she won't even trust him with his own wages.
 A wifes idea of a needed inyen- tion is a fool-proof pay envelope that can not be opened by the bearer on the way home.
 And what has become of the old fashioned man who ate enough for four people because he didn't want to die in debt to his stomach.
 If a woman cant find any other way to spend her husbands money she will spend it to buy something for him.
 A man thinks he is smart but it takes a woman to tell him whather a blonde is the work of nature or the work of art.
