A Stand for the BOrah Amendment.
(New York Post.)

(NeW York Post
 Senator Pondexter said yesterday following his and Senator Hales talk with the President that they and other members of the Senate Naval Affairs Con- mittee would stand firm for the Borah amendment. They have every to do The Senators, both Republican and Democratic, unit for the amendment The House is divided the substitute Porter resolution, and six Republicans from the Mid dle West voted with the Democrats yesterday against sending the Naval Bill to conference with the under standing that the resolution would be insisted
 As the country studies the alternative proposals, intelligent sentiment cannot but swing to the Senates side. Tte Borah amendment, superfcially narrower than the resolution is in reality far better. An agreement with Japan and Great Britain for the limitation of naval ornaments is practicable and can be almost immediately effected A great conference include other nations and to comprehend the com involve endless delay and might prove finally unsat- sfactory From the concrete immediate step which the Borah amendment contemplates could later advance to the more ambitious undertaking.
 The President does not like resolution whose language, whether it urges" directs him, seems an infringement by Congress on the prerogative Of the Executive But the language of the Borah amend ment in this respect easily be altered. If the President had compelling arguments to urge against the amendment cannot believe Senators Poin- dexter and Hale would emerge from a conference with him saying they determined to stand by it We trust that the upper house will not recede from it's stand for the most promising method of arma- ment reduction.

actual work performed the railway employees Will probably receive more under the new scale than they did when the old one put into effect year ago for the reason that the cost of living has de- creased from what it year ago more than the 12 per cent reduction
 Railway executives profess to be greatly d1sap- pointed over the slight reduction in wages Virtually twithout exception they crticise the award of the Railroad Labor Board. But the very fact that they effect a saving of practically threequarters of bill lion dollars takes away much of the force of the arguments they advance. Probably most of their seeming dissatisfaction is for effect the general public which is demanding reduction in freight kand passenger tariffs correspond with the reduction lin wages and the saving made by abrogation of the national agreements.
 The railroad situation continues to be very bad is undoubtedly one of the chief deterrents to re- turn to stability Recent diversion to water ship n.ents on a large scale, of lumber and other north products usually shipped by rail to Atlantic seaboard points, brings home the significance of a statement made several weeks ago by Herbert Hoover in addressing the American Farm Bureau Federation:
 Unless look forward to some
 drop in rates we shall rewrie the whole in
 dustrial geography of the United States.
 Railroad rates bear intricate relationship
 to national prosperity and unless they
 lowered quickly there will be decided
 shifting of agricultural industry
 The rate a bushel of grain from Missouri to New York is 30 cents as against ten from Ar gentina New York condition which would, if continued, MT. Hoover pointed out, "change the granary base from the Central States of the West to foreign shores"

ADOPT WALLACE'S PLAN.

The suggestion for the formation of Alaska Council composed of representatives of the Govern mental departments connected with Alaskan affairs made recently by Secretary Wallace of the Depart ment of Agriculture, is well worth adoption. The precedent set during the Wilson administration by the creation of the Alaska Inerdepartmental Board to coordinate departmental policies in Washington has proven sufficiently worth while to justify the 6xtension of the plan to the Territory itself
 The suggestion is by one. II was advanced by the War Department at the time the Alaska Interdepartmental Board was created The War Department of the opinion that coordination at Washington not of greater importance than coordination of bureau work and policies in the Ter ritory through their representatives the ground
 The Interdepartmental Board has really been abls to accomplish something for the Territory. It has secured the restoration to entry of hundred thousand of land that had been held under withdrawal orders for number of years It recon mended and secured modification of the coal land leasing act so that prospecting permits can be ob taned where only leasing permits were to be had before. It secured the passage of surface rights homestead bill by the Senate at the last session Congress and it's approval by the House Committee the measure being lost sight of along with huge mass of other legislation during the last hour rush in the House. A similar measure is now before Con- gress andsWlAprobaby he enacted in the future
 The Inerdepartmental Committee has aided in correating bureau work in Washington and in smooth ing over differences in the bureaus. Organization of similar committee of bureau representatives in Alaska would have the same effect upon the policies and work of the bureaus here in the Territory While such system is not ideal it would constitute vast improvement on the present method of procedure prac ficed by the bureau representatives It would serve to improve conditions and tide until Con gress can get around to the enactment of special legislation which is said to be under consideration by President Harding and his cabinet members

THE VOICE OF THE PRESS.

If the newspapers of Southeastern and South western Alaska reflect correctly the sentiment of the public or if their readers follow papers in their reception of Gov. Bone, Alaska's Governor will not have anything to complain to the manner in which he will be greeted by Alaskans. The Ketchikan Chronicle finds no dissatisfaction apparent among the citizens of that town over the appointment which greeted by Ketchikan people with pleasure.
 The Anchorage Times, supporter of George c. Hazeets candidacy, believes "the appointment will not meet with popular favor with Alaskans not by reason of any personal animosity toward Gov Bone nor that it finds fault with his ability but be- cause he is nonresident" Continuing the Times eaid
 Tt is hoped that the defeated factions will
 combine in the earnest endeavor to boost loud and long for Gov. Bone; lend him every aid possible to fill the position so that the interests of the Territory will suffer.
 The long drawn-out contest is over; Bone has been appointed; it is up to all of us to smile and forget and unite and work for the good of Alaska Mr Bone we are with you from on'
 In somewhat similar vein the Valdez Miner another booster for the Hazeet candidacy all through the fight greeted the announcement of the appoint ment saying:
 The appointment Scott C. Bone as 1oVernor of Alaska, while disappointment 10 many Alaskans who favored a 'sourdough Tor Governor, will result in much good for the territory at large MT. Bone comes to us unbiased and unprejudced. and with a nne enthusiasm for his work stalwart Re- puDiican or the old school, uncompromis- Ing Toe to radicalism, possessed of a fine business framing and good judge of men, MT Bone will fill the position very accept ably to the rank and file of the Grand Old Party.
 Every true Alaskan should get behind Governor Bone and help him administer the aHalrs or the Territory. As a man he has made and kept host of friends: as a Gov erhor' ne Will hnd a friend in every Alaskan

flaw, Flaw!


 The Society for Minding Other Peoples Business is going to give the woman folks a taste of the medi. cine it has been making the men folks swallow. And we doubt that the women will like it bit Mems habits having been regulated by legislation, woman's dress is to be regulated in the same way. And it is more than probable that within the year woman must wear what a lot of whiskered men order her to wear. The Utah legislature has re- ported favorably on statute fixing the length of the skirt at three inches above the ankle. Penalty, fine and Imprisonment The Vir. ginia legislature is to vote on a bill prohibiting woman from wearing shirt waist or gown displaying more than three inches of her throat. She must not have skirts higher than four inches above the ground, and must not wear any gar. ment of diaphanous material. In Ohio bill has been drafted prohib- iting the wearing of waist or gown that displays more than two inches of the throat. The bill also pro vides that no female over IA year of age may wear skirt which does not reach the instep. The bill fur ther prohibits the wearing of any garment made of any transparent material, and also prohibits the sell. ing of the same in stores. A penalty is fixed for those who wear any garment which unduly displays or accentuates the lines of the female figure. And you'll have to fight your own battle, girls! We men folks are busy fighting the Anti-Tobacco- ties and the Anti-Racinpites
