Representative Foster, of Cordova recently intro Guced in the lower House of the Territorial Legisla ture bill prescribing the qualifications elector The measure almost verbatim the law at present on the statute books, but a step further in that 1t also provided that person unable ito write the Constitution of the United States or to w1dte the English language unless physically disqualified shall be eligible to vote at general election
 This bill was reported out of committee un- faverably by the majority, but accompanied by strong minority report and before the House the minority report prevailed and the bill was passed
 Some of the opponents of the measure held that such provision might work deny certain nat uralized aliens of their rights but this stand is not well taken. Possible there may be a very few per- sens Of foreign birth in Alaska who were natural l1ed prior to 1906 who unable tc read and write English, but their number be very few indeed Since June 29 1906 the ability to read and write the fhslsh language has been one the requisites to obtaining citizenship hence aliens naturalized subse- quent to that date be affected by the pro- vision.

Hoover and the Business Cycle.
(New York Post.)


 Secretary Hoover's recommendation that the Gov adjust itself industrial conditions by post poning it's building program is unusually signi- cant. His argument is that for the Government to proceed with construction at a time of immense activity in such work all the country would not be 10 give additional employment but simply dis place certain amount of private construction. Mir Hoover would Government building for slack intervals when il would alleviate distress by pro- have to await the slow revival of better times This s clearly a sound policy that it is difficult to oppose it. Such opposition has been made when it has been discussed in Congress has centered the problem of determining when suspension of Government building should be ordered rather than around the advisability of the policy
 Suspension of Government work when there is minimum of unemployment, and its resumption as increases, is merely a practical recog- as far ahead possible, SC that unemployment in private construction be dovetaed with employ ment in public construction. Exact adjusment is not to be expected but much closer relation supply and demand be attained by study of the business situation in its from prosperity 10 depression and back than by guess rule of thumb The business cycle is fact of which advantage can be taken only is understood Secretary Hoovers suggestion regarding Government building is a strk- ing application Of the business cycle It is useful therefore, only in itself but also in emphasizing the value of giving attention to this time table of the ebb and flow of the business tide.
