importance was the movement sever

To have the Jefferson Davis Highway,
a Federal Highway, come through

good roads for Grenada County. The
next, and by far the most important
step was an order passed by the

determine whether or not the Board
Of Supervisors should issue Bond for

NEED FOR NEW CABLE

While il is unfortunate that the item appro- pratmg $1 1,5OOOOO for the duplication of the Alaska cable was eliminated from the De- ficicncy Appropriation Bill, there k hope in the announcement that it will be included in the 1929 budget Thn \la~la cable i~ a necessity to business aud thn government service in Alaska. It i, paying good interest on th' i@ ycstmcnt in n and that it ought to be renewed is being demonstrated several times each year when the breaks occur and the cable is idle. anywhere from few days to few weeks, while costly repairs are being made.
 The business of Alaska is great enough to have two cables. II ought to he So that the service would not be interrupted at all. If not two cables. there should be repair ship at each end of the line, and, particularly at the Alaska end. The breaks that cause inter ruptiorS in the cable service usually occur near one end of the line or the other, and more oftcr in the inland waters of the Alaska end than elsewhcre.-Juncau Empire.
 Though sadly neglected and misusod, Alaska has been a good paying customer for tn" United States. On the original investment of $72OO,00O it has returned nearly billion, with its resources barely scratched.
 Take the military cable, for instance, for which an appropriation k asked for necessary repairs. Ii cost $l,500,000. It pays annually into the United States Treasury the sum of $465,OO0. By subtracting the sum of $l4OOO0 appropriated annually for upkcep, there still remains $325OOO profit to the treasury.
 Economy would seem 10 demand conserving this business. even in a period of rctrcnch- mcnt, especially since the volume of business will increase along with tn" development of the Territory-Jmcau Capital.

GOOD BUSINESS

The addition of the Starr to the lntla-AlaS kan service as the mail carrier and d Vohlc" to meet transportation needs of the Alaskan pen insua, Aeutan Islands and Bristol Bay re- gions is d movement in the right direction in Territorial development. IL is the result of praiseworthy cooperation between the Post Office Department and those interested in Northern progress. This new steel steamer will serve people who have long suffered on account of inadequate mail and transportation facilities.
 The announced policy of Postmaster General Hays to use the mail service wherever possible in aiding to meet the transportation needs of Alaska is constructive work of the right sort. The previous policy to hold the expenses of the Post Office Department down to the low est point possible to meet the absolute ncccs- sties was probably all right during the war when the people of every section of the nation were being called upon for all they could spare to support the war-whcn people in every walk and station of life were being asked to give "until it hurts''-but conditions are different now We are again looking to- ward the future and it is good and practical business to aid in development. The resources of Alaska mostly belong to the government, and by their development the government will profit. While the additional and improved service will add to the immediate operating costs of the government the extra expenditures items of expense. They will yield in the end

TAX RETURNS SHOULD REMAIN
 INVlOLATE

|, i- well that the cuntrrocs on the tax rc vision bill agreed to strike out the provision giving Congress authority to call upon the Treasury Department for income tax returns of interpretations and individuals. We have already too much governmental interference with private affairs. The Treasury Depart mcnt. with the cooperation of the Department of .Iusticc has ample authority to see that every man and every corporation makes an honest return of his taxable incomcc. The re sponsibIity for the faithful performance of that duty should he left with the Department where it is lodged. IL is quite possible that the Treasury Department will not in all cases secure complete returns and collect all the taxes legally due, but there is no likelihood that constant inquiries from Congress and de mands for inspection of the records would result in any material increase in collections or in expedition of the work There is delay and confusion enough already.
 But, aside from that phase of the matter, the income tax returns should remain nVioIato except for the single question of their ac- curacy. If Congress or a Congressional com mittce could and did call for income returns, and made them subject to committee insprc ton, there would be no further possibility of dn individual or corporation keeping his busI- ness affairs secret. Business competition is always keen Rivals will frequently resort to extreme measures to ascertain the financial status of their competitors Information of this kind, if available in critical situation, would enable an interruptions concern to ruin its unfortunate rival, which, if left free to pur sue its business in the usual way, would at tain success There are a lot of successful men in th" United States who have seen the day when it would have been disastrous for them if there had been publicity of their financial difficulties. Given a fair opportunity, they pulled through the emergency and continued to be useful factors in the industrial life of their communities.
 What American industry needs today k a little less interference from the government - particularly from the bmeaucrats who may never have conducted any considerable busi- ness of their own but who take delights in try ing to tell private citizens how to run their affairs.
