The Surplus and the National Debt.
(New York World.)

The next four weeks will bring the answer to the moot question of this years Treasury plus. The fiscal year ends with the current month and another instalment of the income tax becomes due June 15 Last October Secretary Mellon estimated this years surplus at 455 mil lions, and later he reduced this to 401 millions Meantime, those who urging a more drastic reduction of taxes than the Administration had recommended maintained that these estimates like those of previous years, were much too con servative. We shall soon know who is the better forecaster.
 The importance of these estimates is to be found in their bearing on the fiscal situation "a year hence. When MT. Mellon could see a surplus of only PIP millions on June 3O 1929 he took no account of possible expenditure of from twenty to thirty millions for flood control nor of various other special appropriations. When to these expenditures is added the tax reduction of the recent session. which will not be fully effective in the next fiscal year but will reduce the rvenues by at least 15O millions, the pros poets for any surplus whatever in 1929 become very slim. That is, if MT. Mellon has guessed right The accuracy of his guess for the current light on his estimate for next year.
 If the figures bear out the Treasury's fore casts, Representative Garner and others who are complaining that we are paying off our debt too fast have little to worry. There will be little if any surplus to apply the debt next year And even if we have redeemed some eight billions of the debt by the of big Treasury surpluses as well of the sinking funds in past years we still have eighteen billions of national debt hanging over us. That is no slight sum-

 It is self-evident that unless collateral loans are reduced unless gold exports cease or are succeeded by imports say from Canada or unless there is business slump money rates will re- main firm. As it is conceded that business de- nlands have reached their seasonal peak the two most influential factors will naturally be stock brokerage demand and the gold movement

Citizens and Politics.
New York Times

tNew York Times.)
 If the oftener true thing is said the nearer is it's realization, the speeches on Memorial Day at the Lincoln University in the mountains of Tennessee advanced this country toward de- sired goal. For all the orators who were dedi- eating the Hall of Citizenship which Benjamin N. Duke presented to the university spoke on the same ine-that politics is the business of the citizens, and its standards cannot be improved without the steady interest and participation of the best of them. About the same hour, on the field of Gettysburg, the President was uttering similar thought
 All this has been said many, many times, and few of those who complain of the ignoble phases in American politics able to rebut the argument that the people get the kind of gov ernment they want The only answer which has been made is to dispute that they get the kind of government they want, but to con- eede that they don't want better kind of government enough to work to obtain it. When, as in rare instances, they do, conditions in poi- tics change for the better. Charles P. Taft, 2d, son of the Chief Justice, pointed this out to those gathered at Duke Hall by instaneing the kind of politics which have revolutionized my own community of Cincinnati'-and made MT. Taft himself the public prosecutor He is by all accounts worthy and able young man, but he was born in the political atmosphere and the flavor is on his tongue. Given leader like him, many communities rouse themselves to the labor of throwing out the machine politicians and put ting government higher level. But usually they let conditions relapse again, for the pro- fessionals are always on the job-even in defeat and the temporarily aroused citizen prefers to think mostly of other things
 The purpose of Duke Hall is to train young Americans in the practices well as the theories lof popular government Colleges have for the most part dealt with. the theory and have left political pragmatism to the ward and county leaders. Only occasionally do Charles P Tafts 2d come out of college But Lincoln Memorial Uni versity getting most of it's students from the pure native stock of the Southern Appalachians, may be able to send out to many American communities young with much political understanding as zeal And these purer local, State and National Government may some day find frmer foundation.

FRENCH WOMEN LOSE
 "PROTEST VOTE'' COUNT

PARIS. April 24-A change in the election rules has deprived French suffragists of one of their trump cards.
 In former years their male sup porters were able to cast ballots for women candidates, although women cannot hold office in France. In several cases suffi- cient ballots were cast, particu- larly in communist quarters, to demonstrate the fact that women could be elected to jobs if the law did not deny them eligibility.
 This year ballots cast for wo- men will be declared blanks, so that they cannot become a matter of public record and newspaper comment. Election officials ruled that vote for a non-eligible per son should not be counted as it is an abuse of the ballot.

Following their victory at Petersburg where the declama- tory trophy of Southeastern Alas ka was won, Miss Helen Woods, Juneau entrant, and Miss Ardena Leer, who accompanied her, re- turned to Juneau today on the Highway, Capt. E. P. Clark.
 Juneau won with little trouble, Miss Leer said today, declaring Juneau's representative performed excellently and left little room for doubt as to her being the winner
 Ketchikan took second place through Ned Shelton, who came nearest to winning the cup among the other three entrants. Peters burg finished in third place. while Douglas was last Miss Madeline Riedi and Miss Gladys Fleming, who are making the trip for Doug las, are expected on the Admiral Rogers, due north this afternoon.
 An excellent crowd was in at tendance on the evening the con test was held, and the decision of the judges was popular one, Miss Leer said. The inscription on the cup is as follows:
 High School Declamatory Tro- phy, s. E. Alaska, Inter-School Meet; Edith Lingerfelt Cup Pre- scented by Pruelrs Gift Shop. Tn it's first year the cup was taken by Ketchikan, during the next two years Douglas and Skagway car ried off the honors, Ketchikan re- trieved it in 1925. won it again the next year, then lost it last year when Juneau won for the first time. Juneau and Ketchikan are now the only two schools which have won it two years in succession.
