EFFICIENT GOVERNMENT.
British Actually Have What America
Only Claims.

Only Claims.
From an American point Of view the
most striking fact about the British
election is that the whole affair, from
the fall of the old government to the
meeting of the new parliament, will be
accomplished inside of four weeks.
That is popular government. Four
weeks from the time one government
has lost its grip there will be sitting
a new parliament based on an appeal
to the British voters.

timey way, which process he under
stands thoroughly.
Takes Daily Paper.
Jones is a well informed man of
what is going on. He is a subscriber
to The Herald, and gets his paper ev-
cry morning about IL o'clock on rural
route No. from the city.
His Father Well-to- do Colored Man.
This colored farmer raises all of his
meat, and is interested in planting
cover crops. He has three tenants on
his farm, and insists on their farming
along modern lines. He is a son. of
William p. Jones, who died a number
of years ago, leaving farm Of 136
acres of land and a good dwelling. His
father lived to be 9S years of age and
left not only his farm, but $4,000 in
cash in city bank. He was survived
by twelve children. The land of the
father joins the farm of Elihu Jones.
He has never received one bit of finan-
cial help from this estate. 1t has not
been wound up; it is valued at 100000,
and when the division is legally made
Elihu Jones will get to add something
to his ssavings.
Paradoxical.
Jones is a Kind of paradox, as was
stated at the beginning; for it is hard
to reconcile q farmer, growing alfalfa
and pleased with results, who grows
sweet potatoes by the hundred bushels
and won't build standard potato
house when he is plenty able to do so.
But the impression ono gets after a
conversation with Jones is that this
colored farmer will soon be building a
potato house to store his potatoes and
those of. his neighbors.
Jones says he is frequently visited
by automobile and tractor dealers and
agents-but they are wasting their
time. = 1t would take an optimist in
deed to draw the conclusion that
Jones will ever purchase any kind Of
an automobile.

ROAD ALLOTMENT DISAPPOINTING.

The action of the Bureau of Budget in slashing
the estimates Of the Alaska Road Commission frcm
81 5000 600 $465,G00 is disappointing in the eA-
treme to all Aaskans who had hoped that the pro-
gram of Col Steeae and his associates. on the Com
mission providing for 10-year construction Teriod
with an annual expenditure of $1,50O0O0 would be
made possible by favorable action the part of the
Director of the Budget. 1t is apparent that the
amount fixed by the Budget is not governed by the
actual needs the Commission for its work but is
an arbitrary figure arrived by reference to last
years appropriation.
just what the Commission will finally get is
largely dependent the attitude of President Hard
ing toward letting additional estimates be presene
by the departments direct to Congress Col. Stecse
has submitted supplementary estimates to the War
Department for about million dollars. There are
many other supplementary estimates in the hands of
the several departments covering projects which were
Topped off by the Bureau of Budget It is net i'm
probable that most Of these will reach Congress and
least of them be favoraby acted
Owing to the very great need of road and trail
construction all the Territory, it is to be hoped
that the additional estimates of the Alaska Road Com
mission will be among the latter class If they are
not the Commission will find itself handicapped next
season by lack of money to do the work it had
planned Its increasing mileage in Alaska calls
for continually larger for maintenance work
and the sum approved by the Budget is hardly more
than enough that class of work for the next
The present situation the road appropriation
Is one that occurs every year. Year after year es-
mates the very bone and it is necessary
to concentrate every available influence in order to
get Congress to add few thousand dollars the
amount recommended. This brings out very forcbly
the need for the inclusion of Alaska in the general
provisions of the Federal Highway Act Those states
which benefit by that act have worry about Fed
eral aid in road building. Their funds assured,
made so by common effort But Alaska is
fronted with recommended appropriation for less
than one-thrd the amount competent engineers de-
clare to be necessary carry efficient work
there is no interested in its passage it stands
much less getting ii increased, but the people Of
Alaska This situation calls for immediate remedial
action In the meantime, however being shut off
from the provisions of the Federal Highway Act it is
necessary that appeals be made Congress to in
crease the budgotary allowance Alaskans should get
in touch with individual members Congress with
delay and ask their support to Col Stresses add
tonal estimates

Destructive Attacks.
(Cordova Times.)

Perhaps if to set answer that
almost threadbare question: whats the Matter With
Alaska the last analysis would say destructive cri
cism. The Territory has long been the victim OF
fault findings and determinations, accusations and
demonstrations of which has advanced a single
iCta toward the correction of situations which are
nmical to the general welfare. 1t is time some con-
structive ideas advanced, practicable meas
ures proposed, for the conditions which threaten the
interests OF the Territory The present fisheries
troversy is case in point. There has been no leg
islation enacted 1906 regula ion Of the
fisheries of Alaska That law is inadequate and inept
Under its provisions there is possible way in which
the everlasting of Alaska waters be prevented.
That those waters being over-shed is unquestion-
able That steps for the preservation of the fish
ply are imperative is recognized by all who know
anything about the fishing industry of Alaska This
imperative demand is being by the recent crea-
ton OF fisheries reserve along the Alaska Peninsula
"a reservation which is admittedly but temporary
eXpedient to the fish while legislation can be
passed which will recognize rights of the people
to Tree hshin2 and at the time conserve the
source OF It's increase and thus make permanent
industry. That the reservation plan is but tenn
pcrary eXpedient is emphasized by the Bureau Fish
cries. That permanent regulation it would
tend to the establishment of monopoly on the part
OF the big operations already in field is conceded
ana IN principle public sentiment is rightly against
any such permanent result. But right the ques-
ton resolves itself into his: which is better tenn
polary monopoly or the complete destruction of the
fish! There is but one reasonable answer and in any
criticism OF the efforts of the Bureau of Fisheries
10 conserve the salmon industry of Alaska it is time
that critical forensics and oraorica datribes gave
way to plain. practical common sense Constructive
suggestions and sincere cooperation in behalf of the
interests of the Territory would be a welcome and
lastly beneficial change.

HARDING HAS BEST CHANCE.

Secretary Hoover said nothing that actually
when he declared Patio Alto, Calf that
President Harding obviously is the man whom the
Republicans should renominate in 1924 the Pres-
dency. lnasmuch las the Republicans will have to
make that campaign the record of the present
Administration it is logical that President Harding
shculd be selected standard bearer a second time.
There of course, other phases entering into the
situaton that might produce developments within
the next years that would operate against re-
nomination of the President. But things stand
today, If the President il, pretty

Of the men who had been picked his most formid-
able opponents in 1924 fer the nomination were
eliminated through defeat. Governor Miller, of New
York. when he lost AL Smith in the gubernatorial
in that state, lost his chance, which was con-
sdered good to make fight for the 1924 Republican
Presidential nomination. Ex-senator Beveridge, OF
Indiana likewise scratched when he failed pass
the barrier of the election, being defeated by former
Governor Ralston Ii is true that the Administration
stock-normalcy-was pretty hard hit by the election
But many local Issues entered into the situation
this year that it is debaable whether the election
did any harm the Presidents chances for re
nomination
The complexion OF Congress is now so complicated
will be when the Sixty-eighth Congress convenes
that it is virtually impossible any prediction of
the political future of any individual party be
accurate. Without doubt the present Congress is so
split into blocs and that the Administration
legislative program has suffered. The next Congress
gives every indication of being more nearly bloc
