WE THRIVE MEANWHILE

For months Alaskans have listened and natientlv waited the break from tie old tra- dition of red tape at W Washington that has kept the territory from progressing these many wears. It finally came in the shaking nn that resulted in the transfer of bureaus whatever that means Secretary Fall, as brave as a polar bear won and started to do things, But thus far, his way of doing things is the same old way that never got us any where. and that is the appointment of 1nVestl- oators. Professional Investigators, most of them. .-.
 A curious thing about this investigation business is that our special form of govern ment at Washington, in this case headed oy Secretary Fall, never give us credit tQr know ing what we want or need. No matter what orr delegate, or territorial legislature or con- mercial bodies of the territory say-When it is listened to at all, is invariably followed by an investigation. And it has always been thus.
 Conclusively, the inference cannot be ms taken and that is we must be lunkheads' idiots, numskulls, or lunatics since they wont take anything we say for the truth. They must investigate There has been nvestl- gators after investigators just to find out whether we were telling the truth or not apparently, for nothing was ever done TOT Alaska without an investigation, and Secre- tarv Fall is following in the footsteps of all his predecessors They must think at Wash ington that an investigation into our hunger is as good as a meal. These Investigations are expensive, and since there has never been any good result from them, we can't see why they should bother with them In our opinion it would be much more profitable for congress to set aside certain sum every year for Investigations of Alaska's affairs and proceed to tie up all the Investigators anxious to in vestigate in a bullpen somewhere, turn over the sum to us and we'll soon find out whether our coal is good or bad, our mineral wealth worth opening up, etc. But of course there is that much about the whole business, our government was born after an investigation Of the roya! government, and naturally we must keep it up. This summer, according to all reports, Alaska will be investigated dry, and we have no right to expect anything else, for, are we not lunkheads, including OUT ter 1itorial legislators? Our legislature may be compared with a chessboard around which, periodically men assemble to play politics such as dividing the patronage with the re- suit that more Investigations must be made. Really, investigations may be said to have been the whole source of our hope for the future. But Alaskans are not easily dis couraged, and with the hope of better govern ment ahead, they will keep on hoping, be- cause that is all we can do. Meanwhile let Secretry Fails investigators come, otherwise we may fee! like orphans and cease to thrive --Ketchikan News

HUGHES SERVES AMERICA

"A prophet is not without honor, save in his own country and in his own house" is a somewhat cynical saying of the New Testa- ment. With respect to Secretary of State Hughes we might delete the "not." On March &, when he declined the invitation for the United States to participate in the Genoa conference, he replied
 ''It is impossible to escape the conclusion that the proposed conference is not primarily an economic conference, as questions seem to have been excluded from consideration with out the satisfactory determination of which the chief causes of economic disturbance must continue to operate but is rather a conference of political character in which the govern ment of the United States could not helpfully participate.
 H'This government -. views with the most friendly and eager interest every step taken toward the restoration of economic conditions that will permit Russia to regain her produc- tive power but these conditions, in the view of this government, cannot be secured until adequate action is taken on the part of those chiefly responsible for Russia's present eco- homie disorder"
 : So we stayed away from Genoa. And who is there who can truthfully say that Secretary Hughes had not correctly sized up the situa- ton or had not correctly determined in ad- vance what the outcome would be?
 In his reaffirmation of March 21 he said there could be no trade with a vacuum and that so long as a system persisted ln Russla which vetoed the essential bases of produc- ton all consideration of economic revival was futile. When Bolshevism is kicked out of Rus sa perhaps the European powers can talk business sense.

FALSE TAX THEORIES

The Raleigh, N O., News and Observer says: If the people could have voice they would say raise money for the government through the income tax and not through the iniquitous tariff proposed by the Republican leaders at Washington The income tax places the burden on wealth. The tariff taxes the poor and middle classes equally with the rich.

The people of the United States are at work-most of them.
