HELP GET ROAD APPROPRIATION
 INCREASED.

The House has passed the military appropra ions bill It carries $350 ,000 for Alaska roads-a reduc ton from the $955,000 asked by the Alaska Road Commission, the amount needed to give effect to the ten-year road building program that has met with the approval all those concerned in road building in this Territory. Col. Steese, head of the Road Commission hopes to get the Senate to increase the appropriation.
 Now is the time the people of Alaska should back up Col. Steese in his efforts to get the larger appropriation. He is at Washington working with all of his might for the people of this Territory. He has the assistance it is true, of Delegate Grigsby, Gen. Richardson and other friends of Alaska, includ- ing Delegate Elect Sutherland but he should have all the reinforcement that Alaska give. Every com mercial organization in Alaska should send very strong and very teegrams to the Senate Military Affairs and Appropriations Committee Sen ator Warren is the chairman of the Appropriations Committee, and he ranks second the Military Affairs Committed He is great friend of Alaska, and has proved his friendship many occasions A flood of elegrams to him would strengthen his hands TelegramS should also be sent Senator Chamberlain He is the ranking Democrat the Military Afair Committee. He chairman of the committee fOg six years and his influential. He, too has been frs and last friend of Alaska
 This is the matter pending in Washington that a action will help lot If the appropriation is not increased the ten year program will fail, and we cannot afford to let it fail

Stepping On Their Own Feet.
Cincinnati Enquirer )


 There need be no astonishment the grave news from Washington that Congress is so sadly tangled in the meshes of financing that it has almost ceased to functon. Thus far but appropratng bill has been enacted, that providing for the needs Of the District of Columbia. Well-informed mem bers of the House of Representatives fearful that the session will end without provision being made for the coming fiscal year This condition is next to EeXcusable
 It is to the incomprehensible refusal of the United slaton providing for the executive budget system hat this unfortunate situation is chargeabe, this accusation not being a personal view but the judg- ment of influential members of that body. The lower branch, in which, under the Constitution appro- prations must originate, endeavored to provide d makeshift through creating general committee re- sponsibe for all recommendations.
 The disagreeable discovery has just been made that the reported bills contain items which lack the parliamentary requirement that they be accom- panied by warrant Of law. This renders them liable 10 elimination upon point of order being made against retention in the bill Objectors having em- 9loyed this means Of opposition the measures vir- tually are wrecked far that branch concerned The only solution possible is have Senate insert the busted items amendments. This would in reality be exercising power it does possess that of originating appropriations
 It should be the first duty of the incoming Ad- ministraton insist upon the installation of business methods in its finances. To leave it longer to men Fho not of the provisions of the law which governs appropriations could well be called a riminal act. The least that could be said of was hat if was eminently foolish.

What Brings Results.
(Atlanta Constitution. )

(Atlanta Constitution)
 The advertisement in the influential daily news per of large circulation is the that gets the biggest, best results.
 Welworded, under intelligent direction it reaches the right and the most people; the seller gets the buyers he is after and all benefited The difference between such newspaper advertising a paragraph from Printers Ink, and in the comment that follows.
 The Printers Ink paragraph says
 "A washing machine manufacturer in recent try-out campaign mailed 2,200 letters 600 with postcards stamped and 1900 with out Four inquiries came back out of the 500 and two of the 1,600."
 And for the comment the above, which is from The Philadelphia Record
 Think of it. Two thousand two hun dred letters addressed individual consum- drew six inquiries! And the subject that should be of interest to every housewife,
 You figure for yourself what it cost to send 2,200 letters, 600 of them carry ing stamped reply postcards and what the average of the inquiries was. The in- vestment in this experiment would have paid for advertisement of very respectable size in individual newspaper reaching a hun dred times many people and producing real business
 It is further pointed out, by the Philade phia paper, that while direct mail advertising is not always so inefficient, the fact remains that great deal of money is wasted in futile circularization which would bring results if invested in newspaper space The right ad in the right newspaper is sure of profitable responses, and in limited number. It is the safe investment, on the result bringing plan.

WELCOME THE CHEMISTS.

It is said that thousands of German chemists arc seeking employment in the United States. They are arriving, it is declared, by the hundreds at New York and other Eastern ports. Just few days agt Dr. Otto Runger and Dr. Joseph Faschslander, two of the greatest of the German dye experts, arrived at Philadelphia to accept long time contracts fo employment from the Du POnt Company. The brought their families with them and declare tha they expect to remain in this country. At the immi grafton office it shown that they are to receiy $25,00 year salary each
 This is sort of immigration that should be en couraged. It has been declared that this is an az that belongs largely chemistry, and there is prob ably no section of the world that offers a bette market for the knowledge and skill of chemists hal America.

AMERICAN WEALTH.

The balance of trade in favor of the United Stateg during the last four years has amounted to thirteen billion dollars If We add the balance of trade for the other three War 1914, 1915 and 1916 the gain reaches twenty billions, greater by far than for all the previous years since the establishment of the American Nation, l45 years Seldom in the his tory of the Nation has the total value of the agricu turaI crop for year reached half of this sum
 The greater portion of this vast profit has been invested in loans foreign countries in the repur chase of American securities held abroad in other foreign loans and investments Therefore this bal ance is not available for in this country II has not been an income to be spent. It has been more akin to an addition to the capital of the country It means that the American people have that much more money invested than they had before the war

 Perhaps it will reach twelve hundred million dol lars or more This is far than the value of the entire crop of the United States and it is an added income to the American people.
