More than half Of this entire sp-
appropriation will be allotted to

cally evety daily in the United
States. The newspaper s%ppropria-
ton will be more than double the
next largest allotment, which is for
outdoor advertising, and more than
ten times As great as the amount
that will be spent for radio broad

pioneer.

"This division Of our advertising

Satisfactorily demonstrated that

MAJOR ELLIOTT DOES WELL.

Major Malcolm Elliott is to be congratulated on his splendid and successful defense of the estimates Of the Alaska Road Commission, Of which organization he but recently succeeded to the Presidency. To take over job of this kind and go before a Congress which had shown its desire to pare down all ordinary governmental expenditures and off with an appropriation almost double that recommended by the Bureau of Budget and some S235 900 than the House Appropriations Committee would approve is no mean accomplishment. The Budget approv- ed $500, for the Commission The House raised the item to s590000, the Senate to s9o0- GOO, and the final agreement fixed it at SS25,000
 The temper of the present national Adminis- tration is fre-tested in economy It's watchword is economy, and the campaign slogan with which it will almost surely face the country next Fall will be unrelenting economy When added to this the Congress was faced by new, heavy naval expenditures. flood control appro- pration of enormous amount, it can be easily understood that Major Elliotts job of getting the same Congress to give Alaska all of the money the Commission had recommended and could have expended to advantage one that required real ability Modesty he has not taken any of the credit to himself. But rightly it belongs to him He is starting right off to prove himself worthy successor, indeed, to such splendid ecutives and road builders as Gen. Wids P. Richardson, 20 years head of the Commission, and Col. James G. Steese whQ< earned the title of Alasla,s most efficient "mqRey getter." And there is reason to believe he will rank with them in all respects, if the results Of his first Washington encounter may be used as sample of what he do. The Empire congratulates Major Elliott on his splendid success

He stated the truism that bad habits are formed and not inherited truism that will stand the test of time and investigation no matter what the Freuds and the rest of the psychoanalysts have to say concerning the matter
 Inherited tendencies, so-called are under srs- plclon But 1t is also true, Dr. Glueck as serted, that the bad and broken home must bear the burden of responsibility of the growth of crime in America-anywhere earth crim- ihai environment is responsible for tendencies toward criminaity. Hence, to build up, strength |eh and support the American home should be the oDJect and purpose of those who wish to attack The central citades of crime.
 It is possible that the criminal may evolve rom right surroundings, but not probable Men and women-the young of both sexes-do 20 wrong though nurtured and cared for and cul- tnred Tn proper life environment but these are the exceptions. The criminals of the country anu they are mostly young-are recruited from the homes that in reality are not homes at all- mere places of dubious shelter. Children born lhto such homes learn early the rudiments of crime; they want to get away from such abodes as soon as possible; they do get away from them often they are kicked out of them

A LESSON FROM CENSUS FIGURES.

The Census Bureau estimates the population of the United States at more than 120,000,0 900 souls This foretells population of only little less than 125, ,0O0 900 at the next The estimate gives California population of 4.700. 900 and Washington and Oregon about 2,500 ,000 a total for the Pacific Coast States of 7,200,- 600. By the time the next census is taken these figures will run to seven-and- a-half million. Add than 11,0OO 900 people, approximately D. 100000 than the population of the entire Dominion of Canada. In fact, if progress con- tinues for the next two years for the last few, we shall have only to add Idaho and Mon tana 10 the three Coast States to have popu- 1ation as large Canada's
 Would want a better argument to dem onstrate that union with the United States would be of vast material benefit to Canada Would one want better exempifcation of the benefits of free trade-the lack of trade restric- tons of any sort? The American Pacific States have grown rapidly and greatly in spite of line circumstance that they have had no tarif pro lection against the manufacturing States of the East Their growth has been accelerated with every improvement of transportation facilities and reduction of freight and passenger tarifs with the manufacturing sections of the country
 If there could be union of the United States and Canada and destruction of the tarin wall between the two countries Canada would grow as the American West has grown. and the growth would add to the prosperity and glory of both countries just as the growth of the West has added to the prosperity and glory of the entire American Nation.

FURTHER CHICHAGOFF DEVEL-
 OPMENT.

The announcement that S250 00J will be ex- pended in developing the old Chichagof mine is good news This property for many years was one of the substantial industries of this region. It gave employment to of people and added many millions to the gold supply of the country. and they produced at large profit to the owners. It is the confident belief Of those familiar with the property that other deposits similar to those which made the mine famous are likely to be found by further deve- opment. If the mine should again become regular producer on paying basis it will be encouraging te those engaged in gold mining in this section of Alaska, and it will cause re- newed confidence in the richness of Chichagof Island

retail sales to reflect the apparent prosperity of leading manufacturing industries.
 Notwithstanding the tardiness of other lines to feel the life that is stirring in the big in- dustral centers it is notable that the big chain store and major merchandising concerns not relaxing in the slightest their energetic plans for expansion In fact the of the day emphasizes the big programs of some of these concerns.
 Of course, there is still considerable irregu- larfty in the trend of business just as there was last year, when of the pessimsts were talking of '.the proitless prosperity of 1927' Some lines backward and others are having severe competition. On the whole, however, the scope of sub-no business ap- pears to be smaller than that of last year.

THE SINCLAIR CONTRIBUTION.

The political effect of the movement to re- turn to MT. Sinclair the s160,000 he gave the Republican National Committee in 1921 might be different than Senator Borah imagines If might be that it will be accepted as confession that the directors of the G. 0. F. accepted tainted money and knew it and only seek to clear their skirts when they got caught at it.
 However, if the money were returned to hr Sinclair at this time it would lead to inc
 ption that whatever. claim to goodwill he FF-ent nave on the party has been liquidated And It must be admitted that repayment at this time is the best amends that could now be made for the action of MT. Hayes and the others for accepting the money under the circumstances
