 Commenting upon this extension of service the Mexican Post says European countries preparing to participate large scale in the trade that is developing result of the rehabilitation of Mexico. The increased capacity of Mexico to purchase goods is the nducement that is behind the movement to provide ample facilities for the transportation of finished from Europe to that country and for the transportation of materials from Mexico the West Indies and the United States back to home ports

INDUCEMENTS FOR CAPITAL OR GOVERNMENT DEVELOPMENT.

Secretary Fall. speaking Seattle the other day said
 Capital must be offered inducements that
 will get it into the Territory the Govern
 must perform functions directly that
 capital itself performs.
 That causes recall a statement made at Washington upon time by the late Delegate SuZeT At the time the coal and oil leasing bills were pending before the committees of the Senate and House MT Sulzer declared that unless Con- gress gave legislation that would permit the people to develop the resources of this Territory, and did 1t quickly. he would introduce a bill directing some authority the Executive branch of the Government develop the and appropriating $1OO.- OO0,0 900 for that purpose
 Secretary Falls position is logical it is fair. 'of the Federal Government when it fifteen years ago locked up most of the they could be appropriated by private parties with the capital for their development. By doing that the growth of Alaska in large measure stopped Potential op- portunities for many thousands of people were de- stroyed, and the hopes of other thousands who had invested their time and money in the Territory in the expectation that she would become popuous and prosperous deferred.
 The injury that was done the Territory at that time should be rectihed, and private capital given very liberal inducements to do that which was refused at that time the Government should do the development itself at It is not in the Interest of any one any section of the United States that resources in Alaska should lie idle and, in many instances to decay. when the wealth and glory of the Nation could be advanced by their devel- opment and use, and people who have devoted life times to Alaska could get reward their time and Wnergy, and faith.

Keep the Soviet Hands Of!
(Cincinnati Enquirer. )

It behooves the American Relief Administration in
 its undertaking to distribute food supplies and other relief to Russas starving victims of Bolshevsm to hold absolute control of that distribution In this decision 1t should have as 1t to have been assured, the unqualified support of the United States Government through the Administration.
 The Soviet leaders have insisted participation in the distribution. Their purpose is plain any who have followed their policies. Ample warning has been given by acquainted with the stua- tion. Such warning may not have been necessary to one thoroughly conversant with Russian affairs is Herbert c. Hoover. Yet it is well that the public here should know that unless food supplies from this country are kept closely and arbitrarily in the hands of the American Relief Administration they will be diverted from the relief of the starving people to repenishing the arders of the Soviet leaders and fer appOrtionment to the supporters of their admin fstration This is why Lenine and Trotzky were so tnsstent participation with the American Relief Administration in the distribution. They wish to get rations they
 Mir Hoover already has made known to the Soviet leaders most clearly the attitude of the organization of which he is the head He has asserted that pro- poses to exercise control of the distribution It is gratifying to learn that the President and his Cabinet have approved Mir HoOver's stand and that although this country must insist upon the freedom of Ameri- can control of the food distribution in Russia the American Government would look with disfavor upon participation in the general investigation of relief conditions which might be considered to be necessary by the European Powers"
 This is plain. No Soviet interference will be tol- erated. America will distribute the relief concedn only that where it may be needed may be determined with the cooperation of the great Powers. This is sufficient to insure that the food will not to feed the leaders and supporters of the Soviet regime.

UNEMPLOYED ARMY LARGE.

The Secretary of Labor estimates that there are nearly 5000 900 Americans of work the time. If this correct it is rather appalling That is nifty per cent. more men than were mobilized into the army during the war. and this is Summer time when employment should be at about the top-notch. These figures make it plain why the country will look with great interest to the unemployment confer ence that President Harding has called at the sug- gestion of Secretary Hoover.

GOVERNOR HART
VETOES SENATE
BILL NO. 1879
Believes Amendment of Code Regu.
lations Regarding Public Deposits
Unnecessary

Governor Hart today vetoed Sem
ate Bill No. 1879, which amends code
regulations of public money deposits
as explained by the governor in his
veto message which reads:
ITO relieve the banks of the ex-
pense of premium on surety bonds
legislation now in effect provides
that depositaries may deposit in lieu
of surety bonds certain securities
with the, treasurer to secure the
amount Of tn deposits. This imposes
upon the treasurer of the city, county
or state the burden of clipping the
coupons and collecting and remitting
the interest on these securities as
we'll as relieving the depositary of the
expense Of surety bond.
THE present act, in addition to
this, attempts to make the city,
county or state as the case may be,
responsible not only for the safe
keeping of the securities while in the
hands of the city, county or state
treasurer, but also makes the city,
county or state responsible for such
securities in transmission.
81 am of the opinion that this is a
burden and on obligation imposed on
the cities, counties and state not de-
manded by the general public and
not necessary for the proper trans
action of the states business. Be-
lieving that this is unwarranted bur-
den S. B. 1S9 is vetoed"

Decides to Take ADVANTAGE
Emergency Passage Of
Senate Bill ll3
WILL HOLD ADJOURNED
SESSION ON FRIDAY
lnstruCts City Attorney to Examine
Act to Ascertain City's
Authority

Taking immediate advantage of
the enactment of Senate Bill No. 113,
the city council last night decided to
regulate heavy traffic, or overlooking
OF trucks, on Fourth street and Main
street in order to prevent the pave
ment from breaking down before the
assessments now due have been paid.
Upon motion of Councilman Wohleb,
the council adjourned until 1880
O'Clock Friday evening, after in
structing the street committee and
City Attorney George Bigelow to ex-
anime Senate Bill No. 113 to ascer-
tain what authority the city has UNI
der the act.
Senate Bill No. 113 provides for
the closing Of certain city or town
streets, county or state roads, or
parts thereof whenever the condition
is such that it's continued use by
vehicle will greatly damage such
road, the state highway commits
sioner, board of county commits
sioners, or governing body of city
or town is authorized to close such
road to travel to all vehicles or to
any class of vehicles for such period
as they shall determine.
Objects to 14-TOn Load.
Councilman Haycox said that he
had observed a truck On East Fourth
street loaded with 14O ties, each of
which weighed 200 pounds, making
load of IA tons or $4,000 pounds.
which he considered altogether too
heavy a load for city pavement.
Councilman Chaplin said that resi-
dents on the West Side were wor-
ried by the treatment their pave
ments were receiving from heavy
trucking. Councilman Draham, act
ing president of the council stated
that Harrison street was already con-
siderably damaged by heavy logging
trucks. He also called attention to
a logging truck, carrying logs so feet
in length coming down Main street
almost daily, not only unduly wear
ing out the pavement, but endanger-
ing pedestrians and other traffic.
