GLIMPSE OF PRESIDENTIAL YACHT

Alaskans have been reading for years of the Presidential yacht Mayfower and of it's freouent expeditions. But they have always been cruising on the Atlantic Coast. How ever. there is bright promise that the coming Summer will see the Mavflower in northern waters President Harding and his official party will in all probability make the long expected visit to Alaska in June or July. AL ready tho yacht is being equipped for cruise through the Panama Canal, to be boarded at Seattle by number of national officials. These men aim to seek information and ac- ouaint themselves with conditions so that the affairs of Alaska may be more intelligent'v administered It will certainly be great ad- vantage for the President and his advisers to personally meet the people and the come m contact with conditions as they actually exist. The result cannot help but be beneficial t" the Territory. which many people believe is on the eve of it's greatest and most permanent development.- Capital.

IN "CLEAN UP' EFFORT

Soon the robins will be nesting, and from some source in the community will come a call for ''Clean Up Day" or a "Clean Up Weak''
 Whoever makes the suggestion will mean well, but he or she really would help the com munity more by starting the slogan: "Dont cali it week. Let's have a real campaign. '
 A "day'' is merely pathetic, and ''week'' is hardly long enough to make even far start.
 Make it ''campaignn' And keep it up as long as may be necessary to do a real job. That's the first essential of a successful com munity effort in such work.
 The second essential is the public com mitment of the thing cleaned up to the new order of things. For example, by the conver- sion of an unsightly dump into play ground, or the painting of a cleaned up vacant lot with tic green of grass and shrubbery or a thrift garden-but, however it be done, "clothe it in the garb of righteousness and there after it's cleanliness and orderliness will be re- spected by everybody.
 4 Eleven years of experience in this work which now is conducted annually in about 1000 cities and towns in North America have demonstrated both the futlity of community clean up efforts that are merely "a lick and promise" and the utility and effectiveness of tie real campaign well planned and properly conducted.
 These facts are generally realized most keen- ly by those city officials who look after the community cleanliness and health, and gen erally with inadequate budgets. It is inn possible for them to coordinate their efforts with those of every householder within six day period though the public cooperation that can be enlisted in real campaign is in valuable to them, and to the community, in the visible and lasting results secured and in the sense of personal responsibility for con- tinuous care taking in these matters that is inculcated by such campaign.
 To ''Get the habit' is the thing, and that never can bo done in the annual bath of a "day'' or a 'week."

 It is becoming more and more evident that divorce coupons on marriage licenses what "socety" will eventually demanl.
 It is better to be cheated than to cheat.
 One of the best ways to eliminate troubles is through tho sweat glands.
 It's amazing many good jobs you cah get when you already have good one

Ignorant of plans and order, it imagines their absence; or, conscious of them, it fails to understand the long, rough road of experience by which the scheme of society, defective as it is, had to be worked out
 Such persons easily become parlor bolshe- visits if the peddler of parlor bolshevlsm reaches them first.

They devour Sun day supplements. They are particularly fond of tales of atrocities and mysterious treasons, and swallow whole the fictitious version of the Knights of Columbus oath, fourth degree.

Constitutional safe guards of person and property are nothing to them. Ten or dozen centuries of Anglo |Saxon experiments and experience in protec- |ting the rights of the individual, in punlshlng real instead of supposed crime, in identifying the criminal instead of hanging the innocent by mistake, of avoiding eXcesses and gradu- ating the punishment, of securing the rights |of the accused and even the remaining rights of the convicted mean nothing to them, be- cause they lack the imagination that would enable them to understand. but unfortunately possess the credulity to believe what the last professional sensat tionalist tells them.

INFORMATION ON A DARK SUBJECT

There is sort of mind that can not visual ize the administration of justice unless it be present in the courtroom, nor even then with out observing the work of the judge, the clerk, and the bailiff in all departments at once. It does not visualize the functioning of govern ment, nor the myriad processes of industry, nor the survival of useful institutions in the evolution of the race. It is dissatisfied with the procession of the equinoxes and the num- Der of hours in day and the sufficiency of the evil thereof. Like the old negro aspirant to the embassy to Dahomey in the "Texas Steer," who did not know where Dahomey was, but wanted to go there fright now," it longs and itches for the millennium. The green apple must become ripe at once, the chicken must hatch as soon as the egg IS laid. So this sort of person is enchanted with the idea of bringing about "social justice' by means of parlor bolshevism, or redressing the

possible. Taxation never can be exactly equal or poroprtionate in respect to all individuals Probably one half of the American people pav the bulk of it not all the Federal taxes, while
 the other half pays little or nothing.
 While Federal taxes are high and should be reduced, the fact is that Federal expenditures for good roads, for aid to American shipping. for public instruction, for agricultural re- search, for the public health, for irrigation land grants farm banks, and for all similar purposes, are not for a special class or a special section; they are for the general wei fare. Furthermore, the great bulk of the funds raised for such purposes comes from one half of the people,
 There IS a popular notion that the expendi- ture of Federal funds is undesirable unless
 such expenditure is distributed equally among all the people in the form of direct benefits Obviously this is impossible
 Tue justification of the expenditure of any sum of public money for a special purpose is |tllat 1t IS for the general welfare. That desir- able results may be reached even though a Comparatively few or certain sections are bene- fitted most directly.
 This is a nation; and what benefits one class benefits all classes, what benefits one section benefits all. One of the perils of the Republic is that it may be divided into classes or blocs guided by sectional or class interest alone.
 No appropriation of money by Congress is justified save on the one ground of ''genera1 welfare" No appropriation can be distributed Iper capita according to classes or blocs. No appropriation can be defended if it is wholly in the interest of special section or class.
 An appropriation by Congress of several millions to aid in the building of good roads is justified on the ground of ''general wei
 fare' alone even though it may benefit cer-
 tain class of people largely Likewise an
 Appropriation to aid in the building and main
 tenance of an American Merchant Marine. is justified on the ground of ''genera welfare'' Ipriatons for the prevention of ravages of in- sects among the farmers, the prevention of disease among animals and human beings. + must be assumed that all are for the ''general Iwelfare''
 Broadly speaking all of the Federal Gov ernment's expenditures are for the "genera1 twelfare" Taxes. whether direct or indirect, whether more beneficial to one class or one section than another, are fully justified, if for 2 national purpose and properly expended. No good American has a right to complain Federal taxes gre nationals; Federal appro-
 priatons and expenditures are national Neith-

 PROBE OF SERVICE
Will Also Look Into State of Equip
 ment of Nations Railroads.

Washington, Jan. I2-Notice was served on the railroads of the coun- try yesterday by the Interstate Com merce Commission that 1t intended to proceed immediately to an investiga- ton of their expenditures during re- cent months on maintenance of equip ment and the methods they have fol- lowed in providing freight-car service for shippers.
 Though the commissions order in stituting the investigation said that no formal complaint had been made as to railroad expenditures on main tenance, informal petitions asking for an inquiry have been filed recently by the International Association of Machinists and other unions which were involved in the general shop crafts strike which began last July,
 It is desirable to know whether expenditures of the carriers for main tenance of equipment have been req sonable, the commissions order de- clared and to keep informed as to the manner and method in which the business of such carriers is conducted with special reference to the furnish therefore will seek to determine the facts which it desires at hearings to be held at times and places which it will announce later
 / The Machinists' union charged in its informal petition that railroads generally had made extravagant ex- penditures during and since the strike in an endeavor to break up union organization in the shops. The commission was asserted to have legal authority to investigate the sit nation and check the alleged waste fulness, on the ground that the ex- penditures constituted a burden un- necessarily placed against users of transDOrtation.

How Oil Octopus Has Taken Navy's Safety Reserve, Cheating Posterity

When Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall, recently made a public statement explaining the Teapot Dome Oil deal, International Labor News Service asked Robert C. Bell to prepare an analysis of that state ment for the labor papers of the United States.
 MT. Bell formerly was assistant to the attorney general handling with drawn oil land cases and understands the situation thoroughly.
 MT. Falls statement was made prior to his recent announcement of resignation, that announcement hay ing been made only after his state ment as to the fulfllment of plans involving what Congress intended as a perpetual reserve for the American navy but which suddenly passed into private monopoly hands with only the shadow of auction block for ma1ity.
 Herewith is MT. Bells careful analysis, to be published in two in stallments, of which this is No. l. Editor.

Salt Creek field, and covers more than o,3OO acres, according to experts 1t em- braces the whole of a well defined, geological oil structure within which are contained millions of barrels of high grade crude oil.
 The physical characteristics of this structure were such that the oil, her medically sealed, in its natural storage could have been conserved indefinitely for the unborn generatlons-possibly to a time when our success in war migh depend on 1t.
 Last April the country was astounded to learn that Secretary Fall reversing the established policy of conservation, had leased the whole Reserve to the Mammoth Oil Company, concern ap- parent1y organized by Harry F. Sin taking the lease. This transaction is nothing more or less than a lease to the Standard Oil Company of Indiana be- cause 1t has control of the several Sin clair companies.
 After the leasing of the Teapot Re- serve let us review the situation in Wyoming as to oil property ownership and control. The Ohio Oil and Gas Company had the Grass Creek field and other valuable holdings; the Midwest Refining Company and its subsidiaries
 
 Creek field and owned the Big Muddy field: and Sinclair or his Mammoth Oil Company had the Great Teapot Re serve. These three comDanies, all sub sidiaries of the Standard Oil Go. of Indiana owned or controlled practically every known acre of valuable oil land in the state of Wyoming. They now own the pipe lines monopoly of every branch of the oil industry in the state and the whole Rocky Mountain region. The Ohio Oil ond Gas CO. has been en- trenched in Wyoming for many years. the Midwest secured Salt Creek soor after the passage of the Leasing Law and Secretary Fall by his action las April completed the monopoly with the exception of the government royalties from the Salt Creek field which it wa9 entitled to demand Gin kind" By ac cepting the bid of the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Go. the Secretary has nicely and completely perfected the monopoly of the Standard Oil interests in Wyoming. The Secretary in his re- cert interview says, "It (Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Co.), is owned jointly by the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Cor poration and the Standard Oil Company of Indiana" Only a few years ago thc government was courageously engaged in. 'dissolving" the Standard Oil Com Dany; but now we behold the spectacle of a reactionary Secretary of the In rerior aiding and abetting this grant trust il, fastening its clutches more securely. if possible. on the industry.
