ernment from the earliest times o the republic. In Jefferson's admins tration the per capita was $1.52. In 1860 it had risen to $25S per capita. During the Civil war it rose to $25 per capita. from 1866 to 1891 it fluc. tuated from $25 to $5.5O. In 1916 it was $10.11. During 1917 and 1918 the per capita cost rose to $115.O7. In 1920 it had dropped to $61SS. A further drop is expected this year in view of the fact that the annual ex- penses of the government has been reduced more than one billion dollars.
 While the dictum of statesmen that the country which is least governed is happiest, and the prosperity and welfare of peoples rises in propor- tion as taxes fall is true, still this country has an immense debt to face and overcome. It need not be all paid by this generation and it would only be fair that the following five or six generations pay their share.

LEGION OF HONOR
 SHOULD BE GIVEN CITY

PARIS, June l (by Associated Press).-Orleans, chiefly famous be- caus of its defense against the Eng fish by Saint Jeanne d'Arc, recently suggested through Mayor Laville that the Legion of Honor should be given the city.
 Public officials and several news papers commented that the siege of Orleans and Saint Jeanne's defense occurred before the birth of Napoleon who founded the Legion of Honor.
 The mayor of Orleans turned the tables on those who smiled at his request by citing instances where the red ribbon was given to con- memorate deeds also antedating the legion.
 Poor Jeanne never had any luck" the mayor said. First it was Bishop Cauchon who had her burned; now 1t is the government that grudxes her little bit of ribbon."

GOVERNORS TO VISIT ALASKA

Five governors of northwest states Louis F. Hart of Washington; Ben Olcott, of Oregon; D. w. Davis, of Idaho; Joseph M Dixon, of Montana, and Robert T. Carey, of Wyoming, besides the mayor of Seattle and the mayor of Yakima have joined in the invatation to President Harding to visit the northwest and Alaska this summer. If the president makes the trip to Alaska it is planned to have the five governors join the party at Seattle and make the northern trip. En route to Alaska the governors will hold a conference, at which they will formulate a detailed plan of action deciding on those of Alaskas null titudinous needs on which they par ticularly wish to center the presi- dents attention. The governors be- lieve that their participation in the trip will prove of great, value to the president They are not Alaskans. and therefore could not be suspect ed of ulterior motives in any of their suggestions to the chief executive. But, at the same time they live close enough to Alaska to be entirely con- versant with the territory's needs. Moreover, the future of their states is so closely allied with the develop ment of Alaska that citizens of the territory will be sure to welcome their presence in the party.

OUR FLAG AND THE SEA

Fred R. Bechdoldt, writing in the San Francisco Chronicle paints a vivid picture of the future for Amer ican trade through Pacific ports to the Orient if our shipping is given the same backing and industrial cooper ation that England gives hers.
 Before the war we were a minus quantity as commercial sea power, due largely to our own acts ill pas sing legislation which placed our own ships at disadvantages with foreign competition.
 During the war we were forced to build up our fleet but as peace con- ditions return we again face the same condition which wiped the American flag from the sea previous to 1918.
 Since the war Great Britians tramps are again regaining the commerce of other days in territory where the trade is logically ours If we could compete on an equal basis.
 Pacific coast ports should hold the Oriental commerce against Europe by right of the short haul principle. Years ago our railroad builders real this and worked toward low trans continental railroad rates and trans Pacific steamship lines. Thus the Union and Southern Pacific systems worked in conjunction with the Pacific Mail and J. J. Hill used his great Northern to carry middle west pro- ducts to Puget Sound
 Such coordination of rail and water carriers which was interrupted by legislation some years ago must be re- established if Pacific Coast Ports compete for Oriental trade and if eastern cities are enabled to ship across continet and through Pacific ports to the same markets.
 Men with vision like John Rosseter, of the Pacific Mail and A. F. Haines of the Pacific Steamship Co. are al- ready at the helm and are establish ing trans-Pacific freight and passenger service of the finest type.
 They must receive the backing, however, of a governmental policy and public understanding of our shipping problems, if the American flag main- tains the place it should hold on the high seas.

VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS

It is to be hopel that Valdez will see the importance of securing a member of the legislature at the next election. Many measures came up at the last session, directly bene- fitting towns in which the representa- tives reside; as witness the subsidy granted vessel plying from Seward to the westward, and touching at An chorage, 100. miles off the course.- Valdez Miner.
 For a few weeks Seward tried to get along without daily newspaper, but the good people of that usually contemplating town have repented of their temporary parsimony A good weekly that would have been credit to an outside town of five thousand population did not suffice for the am bilious capital-longing people who live at the government railroad termin- us. So they have given substantial assurance that the publisher Ghall not bear the entire loss in getting out a daily by pledging an encouraging patronage. As a consequence the re- surrection will soon come in the ap- pearance of live daily.-Juneau Cap itel

ALASKANS AND OTHERS

It is safe to assert that the popula- tion of Fairbanks today is almost en- tirely composed of Alaskans, and that it will not drop further. Not all who claim Alaska as their land are Alas kans-far from it, for there are more "Seattle-Alaskans' than there are comes here with the express purpose of getting together enough money to enable him to go back to his old home state and live easy ever after is an Alaska or ever becomes an Alaskan beyond his right to vote in the precinct in which he lives for a year. The Kansan who comes here for that purpose is always Kan san, in heart and thoughts-never an Alaskan-and when the Great Day ar rives he takes up his residence in and transfers his vote to Kansas. The same applies to Everyman from every state; to the foreigner from foreign land All the banquets and all the newspaper notoriety and all the new Seattle chamber of commerce can do to distinguish Seattleites as Alas kans will never make them such, for they never were Alaskans, but only Seattleites doing time here for the big cleanup which would enable them to keep up with Lizzie in their Own Home Town of Seattle.
 There are 24,O0O acres of land homesteaded in the Panama valley, and every homestead therein contains a bunch of real Alaskans, who will, be here for all their time, with the exception of the occasional visit to the outside which they will make when the railroad is completed to Fairbanks next year, and thereafter. There are hundreds of young men and women in our public schools, and they are Alaskans, and will be unto the end. When they go outside to engage in enterprises of the get-rich- quick nature, they will do so with the avowed and insistent intention of those who come here for the same purpose-that in time they may come back to Alaska with outside money and spend it in Alaska. And, with our agricultural college and school of mines in operation, and our chill dren educated therein, the rich min ing ground that is left to us will be theirs, and the get-rich quick outsider who comes here to contest with them for worthwhile mining ground will find that he will have real run for his money before he gets anything away from them-so long as our gov ernment continues to be the Watch dog of Alaska
 So long as our government seeks to protect Alaska from the outside grafter, we are not worrying about Alaska or Fairbanks, or their popua- tion. When the population is normal it will mean that the grafters are aWay--when it is swollen, it will mean that you had better keep your hand on your poke. Time settles all things, and in time Alaskans will settle the problems of Alaska (which, to date, are mostly those which come from outside invasion and importun- ity) and when Alaskans settle the problems of Alaska those problems will be settled right-and Alaskans are the only ones to whom such set clement should be left-Fairbanks News Miner.

GIBBONS TAKING
ON WEIGHT FOR
COMING CONTEST
lBr The Associnted press.l

st. Paul, Mimi, Aug. 19.--Tom
Gibbons, for years llghtheavy-
weight bboxer, rapidly is collecting
the poundings which will carry
himhim out of that division into
the heavyweight class.
For more than q month Tom
has been at his summer home at
Osakis, in the heart of the Minne-
sofa lake region, where he has
been putting on weight, now tip
ping the scales at 191 1-2 pounds
in light clothing. He declares that
it is only matter of short time
when he will be in the 200 pound
class, and will be able to fight at
about that weight, without slow
ing UP,
The added weight has not come
as result of q lazy life, usually
followed by those who spend their
vacation days in Osakis district.
Tom has been doing from ten to
fifteen miles daily through the
woods In addition to many fishing
trips for bass and pike, Although
several power boats are at the
BOXERS disposal he has declined
to use them, making the trips to
the fishing grounds in a row boat
for which he furnishes power HIM
self.
1t will be necessary for Gibbons
to do three or four weeks hard
training for his coming match with
Georges Carpenter, which Is to be
boxed some time In the winter.
The articles for the match call
for 175 pounds. Gibbons feels that
1t will not be difficult for him to
take off the necessary pounds and
still be as strong as he has shown
himself In recent bouts.
Until a year ago Gibbons boxed
his way through most of his
matches, cutting up his opponent
and keeping out of harms way
himself, without making 'an effort
to clutter up the record book with
a number of knockouts. Beginning
last spring, after the followers of
gymnasium boxing had come forth
with the announcement that Tom
had developed a knockout punch.
