The LOUe of Standing Still

<<Y AW," said Sir Henry Maine "ress not contract
but status"
The first purpose Of government not to
secure justice but to prevent change.
Selfpreservation is the first instinct and people early
found out that the safest thing is always to along pre-
cisely as they had been going along.
Hence the young man is shocked to discover, when
he starts to reform the world that the thing the
mass of men do not want is to be reformed.
That is why civilizations get stuck halt and disin-
tegrae Stagnaton the rule of the world and progress

When men have worked out kind of government or

A Question For Senators

WYE HAVE only one question to
" ask of the able Republican
~ Senators who signed that re-
port condemning everything that
Secretary Daniels did as Secretary
Of the Navy.
The question is this: What &C
ton have the Republican Senators
taken to prevent the recurrence of
precisely the same conditions in the
Navy Department, namely, the de-
plorable lack of preparedness for
war, that the Republican Senators
condemn in the late Administration
Until the able Republican Sena-
tors do their best to cure the de
fects they condemn, we do not think
their partisan report condemning
Secretary Daniels entitled to much
public consideration. Patriotism is
better than partisanship.

a Congressman For You

TT was unquestionably wrong for
Charles A. Braun, the brother of
Grover Bergdol, fugitive from
American justice, to call Congress
man Ben johnson, Of Kentucky, u
liar. Perhaps Congressman johnson
was not liar.
The moment, however, that Con.
gresham johnson thrust his hand
into his pocket as if to draw a re-
volver and called Braun a e.
- flag-hating - -" Braun's
offense paled into insignificance.
The people of the United States
could never be more than mildly in
terested in a Congressman s veracity.
They are, however, intensely inter.
ested in the cahber of the men who
are making their laws, spending their
money, directing their affairs and
getting them into cntanglements
with other countries.
The thought that United States
Congressman, representing a large
constituency and possessing a vote
that may change the destiny of the
nation, is so depraved, so little re.
moved from savagery as to carry a
revolver, must send a shudder
through all thinking citizens.
Let us hope that Congressman
johnson was only making a bluff
and that he carried in his pocket
nothing more vicious than plug
Of chewing tobacco.

Sales Tax Is
MOney-SdUer

person VINO Spenu6 b tnOuSdnu
= dollars pay ten times as much
tax as the person who spends hun
dred dollars.
A rich man-let us say the we'll
known Mr.. "Modesty," for example
buying a $4,000 piece of jewelry,
would pay as much tax on that
single purchase as ten families,
spending $1,000 year, would pay
ell together upon everything they
bought in twelve months.
The rich man whose annual buy
ing amounts to 100000 would pay
AS much taxes as one hundred men
spending $1,000 a year.
So you see that instead of the
sales tax being a device to shift
taxation from the rich to the poor,
it is just the opposite.
The sales tax would make the
rich pay their fair share of taxes,
in exact proportion to the money
they have to spend.
And if that isn't fair, what is
fart
1t is just because the present
system of taxation and "passing
the tax along" DOES shift the load
of taxes from the rich to the masses
that the cost of everything you
and your family have to buy is at
least 20 per cent higher than it
should be.
The sales tax would add about 3
per cent to the cost of the food,
clothing, and other necessaries You
buy.
The present system adds about %
per cent to the cost of all those
things.
So, if we had the sales tax you
would buy for $1.03 what you now
buy for $1.23-and that means saw
ing you 500 a month if your living
cost is now $12O month.
How on earth anybody can go
about telling you plain people that &
tax which would lower your living
cost and make the rich pay their
Tshare of taxation, as well as the
workers, is beyond comprehension.
Evidently the men who denounce
the sales tax have never taken the
trouble to find out what the sales
tax is and how it would work.

The March
OF EUents

rHREE bills for the administra-
ton of Alaska are before Con-
= gress. One would vest the con-
troll OF Alaskan affairs in the Secre-
tary of the Interior; one in the
President; one in Board of De-
velopment.
Either plan is better than the
present futile system. But the best
one is Representative Curry's plan
of a Board Of Development.
Alaska is not rich territory. 1t
is a poor territory. Every dollars
worth of gold that ever came out
Of it cost more than two dollars in
money and labor. 1t is not a farm
ing country and never will be in
spite of reports to the contrary. The
long mainland coast has no harbors,
from Yakutal to Unga. The coal
resources are there, but it costs too
much to get coal out and to market.
The country is good for three things
for fisheries, for wood-pulp and
for cattle-raising. This last would
be a great industry if bureaucratic
regulations and foolish land laws
had not prevented capital from
using the range lands, under legal
occupancy title.
The hardy peasantry Of Norway
and Finland can make out to live
in small farming way, but it is
difficult shedding with them and ex-
pectations of farming on any scale
or of numerous American settlers or
homesteads are pipe dreams.
Alaska can be developed by
Board of Development having au-
thority, good business sense and
some actual knowledge of condi-
tions and needs.
Stupid bureaucracy and the pa
thetically jealous ignorance which
besmirched Ballinger and made
nine day hero of the INSCRIPTIONS
and utterly unreliable CLAWS, few
years ago, have made the develop
ment of Alaska's real possibilities
impossible.
We hope Representative Curry's
bill will prevail.
The majority of the House Ways
and Means Committee favor the
sales tax, but say it is not wise to
incorporate it in the new tax law.
All this means is, that the Repub-
lican members do not think the sales
tax is good politics at present.
Our own opinion is that the best
politics that can be played is al
ways to do the thing which is right.
The party majority which has the
courage to do the right thing be-
fore it has become popular is the
party majority which the people al
ways end in trusting and re-electing.
Nothing is gained by jumping to
the conclusion that battleships are
useless because an old and unde-
Tended battleship has been sunk by
bombs dropped by airplanes. ;
The passing of the battleship has
been confidently predicted many
times before-particularly when the
dirigible torpedo and powerful sub
marine were constructed. But each
time the battleship has survived to
play the decisive part in great wars.
We ought to develop our air
force, Of course. But that does not
mean that we ought to quit
strengthening our navy.
Not by any means.
