Unemployment Conference.

(Pacifc Builder and Engineer.)
 The unemployment conference called at the insti- gation of President Harding and now in session in Washington D. G. certainly has it's work cut out for it. With than five million men of employ ment in the country and winter not far away, there is offered problem worthy of consideration by the best ability in every walk of American life It is not the time place for hartrigger statesmen if there is such thing time and place for this type. The man who goes to such great gathering, without having first eradcated his prejudices and his belief that his particular class organization is be or should be singled out for special favors and con sideraton will not help but hinder the attainment of the objects sought The idea is to get the great industrial machinery of the United States to operat- ing again in a normal manner whether it be some thing that the nation, state county city do the private capital and energy of the country complish. Road building is enterprise in which the nation, counties and states engaged All speed should be used by Congress in passing the Federal Aid bill that the States may lay out their programs for the coming year and may give employment to thousands by awarding many contracts this fall Let the circulating medium life blood of the land have freer circulation that the men who would build may build and bring that hoped for period of activity which must come if construction is to overtake the demand for it. Many men would expand their plants and increase output if funds available for the purpose. Let them have their opportunity and they Twill give opportunity to the man who would work Eff he had chance. The nation and states of the West engaged in reclamation Let this be speeded that shall create great revolving fund to insure water for empire and let the States co-operat te in this to the utmost of their power None of these things are experimental. They have been tried out land found to be of the agencies upon which the pros periy of the country depends. They all far advanced that there need be great delay in caus- ing them to respond to new capital and energy The task awaits the hand of the toer. It has been too long delayed already. It is not too much hope that the genius of the American people will evolve h the conference table solution of the enigma fronting the who would labor but is forced to walk the streets with his idle hands in his empty pockets.

TERRITORY SHOULD CONTROL FISHERIES
 INDUSTRY.

The interest Secretary Hoover is taking in the fisheries of Alaska inspires the hope that We may' expect something done in the near future that will count for preservation and scientific regula ton of the fisheries of Alaska MT Hoover is a man of large grasp acts dccciycly when he eermines that action is needed.
 With Mr. Hoover interested in the matter there should be developments following the conference that will convene at Washington this month. It is for tunate that the Alaska Territorial Fish Commission will be represented that conference. Mr Garfield who will speak for the people of Alaska at Washing ton has made thorough study of the salmon fish cries of Alaska, and is well equipped to represent the Territory at any fisheries conference.
 That the control and regulation of the fisheries of Alaska should be transferred people of the Ter ritory be successfully questioned It is the leading industry of the North. Upon it's perpetuity and prosperity depends the continued growth and prosperity who live here There interest in the control regulation of the fisheries of this zion different character than that of those the welfare of Alaska is less benevolent theory To those who live here it is a very vital matter.
 The preparation of laws and regulations for the control of the fisheries is matter that will require constant attention The laws will have to be changed from time to time to meet the requirements they arise. There must be experimenting, and there must be behind the experiments legislative body that can rsIond quickly The people of thexTerritory who are vitally interested in having the best thing done are fer more capable of meeting this situation than is Congress and a Commission in Alaska responsible to tEe people of Alaska is far better to meet the necessties than is Bureau in Washington that is responsible only to very busy Cabinet official

TAX EXTENSIONS OF LITTLE SERVICE

MORE or less talk is being INDUCED in over the
state with reference to the calling OF special
session OF the legislature for the purpose OF making
extensions OF the tax paying period.
The ravages of the boil weevil the lowering of
values OF farm products and the poor prices offered
for cattle and hogs have made money scarce in
some sections OF Oklahoma.
While this is true vet the state is better off for
feed and for food than it has been in many years
before The farming classes have plenty on their
farms except that many of them are scarce OF money
and those who desire to tax extensions made are
not willing for these people to be penalized by the
Is per cent interest which the state law requires
upon delinquent taxes.
Senator w. II. Woods of Purcell has declared
himself as being in favor of brief session OF the
legislature. lie has given thought 10 the mat
ter as is indicated in letter which he has written
to Governor Robertson. Senator Woods would
have the taxes due divided into four equal
payments and to have these amounts made payable
on the 18th OF February, 18th OF May, lst of
August and 18th of October.
There extension made two wears ago but
it did not result in very much good. Those who
did not meet the first payment under the extension
act had to pay the penalty from the first year and
under the plan proposed by Mr. Woods those who
do not pay one-fourth OF their by the 18th OF
February would have to pay the penalty of Is per
cent.
There will be very few people who cannot pay
one-half now and who would be able to pay one
fourth in February. The winter months are not as
a usual thing productive OF money earning on the
farms OF the country and it seems that the tax
extension protagonists are advocating the special
session for the purpose OF giving relief to the
farmers.
Those who need the help worst should get that
help and any extensions IRE made those extensions
should be made so that the burden will not be
thrown back upon those least aide 20 be-: ;,em
The extensions will cripple the schools and the
municipalities and ii the people a whole must
make sacrifices those sacrifices should be made OF
service to those least able to pay.

TWIN NAVIES

ONE OF the big things apparently destined to come
out OF the Washington conference is naval
equality for the United States and Great Britain. At
any other time this would have been considered
tremendous development. Now it goes almost un-
noticed in the general readjustment
So passes, forever, the historic policy OF Great
Eriain to maintain navy equal to that of any other
two powers And passes without even leaving the
guarantee OF japanese navy to supplement the
British sea power because the Japanese alliance also
Is doomed Britain i, reconcled at last to seeing
another navy as strong as her own. She even
seems pleased with the idea. And such is the shift
of opinion that both in England and in America
The change is taken as a matter OF course
Here is the most convincing testimony yet given,
ou either side OF the water, to the oft-dscussed
AngloAmerican understanding Tor mutual interest and
the welfare OF the world. A definite step is being
taken toward making the two great English speak
ing nations the most powerful nations now on earth
partners in preserving Anglo-Saxo ideals and work
ing together on equal terms, ior world peace. The
partnership may prove none the less effective for
being informal and intangible
