Washington, Jan. 11.-Right now,
any one Of the candidates for the
presidential nomination may be
properly called q gumshoe candidate.
The most important ones are gum
shoeing even about their own can
didacies.
Six months from now, 1T the June
conventions, the candidates in the
field probably will still be gumshoe
candidates. And SO, probably, will
be the two who fight it out in
November. Everyone may be ex-
pected to gumshoe about most Of
the important national issues.
# anyone steps out and says
anything exciting it probably will
be the Democratic candidate, much
as he will hate to. The burden Of
proof is almost always with the outs
instead Of the ms. The Democrats
are the minority party and the min
ority's job is to do the bowling. The
reason no candidate likes to say any
thing is that he doesn't want to take
any chances.
It doesn't appear that either
party will nominate a hard hitting,
liberal, broad-visioned leader. Even
now, there isn't an out-and-out pro-
gressve among the aspirants of the
two parties. That is, there is no
strong popular candidate who could
summon the independent progress

eral millions, by proving unques.

Proceed, Mr.. ellis!

BONE SAYS HOOVER AS PRES
 IDDENT WILL. AIR ALASKA

Declaring that Alaska is an over governed domain with bureaucracy prevailing in alIhost sparalyzing form, former Governor Scott C.. Bone ex- presses the conviction, in a statement published in the Los Angeles Times, that a large measure of relief will come to the Territory through the election of Hoover as president.
 Tt was my privilege to become closely acquainted with Herbert Hoo yer during President Harding's mem orable visit to Alaska in 1925" the former chief executive of the Terri tory explains. "I travelled with. him for two weeks continuously aboard the transport Henderson. Alaska's problems are complex. It is an over governed domain. Bureaucracy pre- vails in almost paralyzing form. In- numerable agencies under seven de- partments at Washington have hand in the administration of. affairs. Eff forts toward coordination have. per- sistently come to naught. On. that trip-the first ever made by a presi- dent to Alaska-three members of the Cabinet were included in the party. One of these, Herbert Hoover, was the one member of the .s, presidents family who had ready and inteli- gent grasp of the Territory's needs. He recognized that efficient, service was impossible under such system of government. Hexis. the one mem- Der of the Harding and Coolidge off cial family who. has accomplished. something. in !. constructive way, for Alaska And, as a lover of Alaska, and with implicit faith in the ultimate future of the Northland, honestly. believe that his election to the presi- dency offers much of promise to Alas ka- That he would permit such, q sys- tem to be prolspged is inconceiyable.
 Early in his first administration Theodore Roosevelt sounded a warn ing in a message to Congress about the depletion of the fisheries of Alas ka. A vast industry had grown up in hEaphazard fashion which threatened the, destruction of the salmon and -haljbut- Nothing was done about it, until Herbert Hoover became Secre- tary of Commerce.

HOOVER A CHAMPION OF ST.
LAWRENCE WATERWAY.

In March 1924, the president ap-
pointed commission to study the ST..
Lawrence waterway and rival water
ways with Herbert Hoover as chair
man. After three years of work this
commission reported on January 8,
1927, to the president recommending
the st. Lawrence Waterway, pointing
out its great advantages to all terri
tory on the Great Lakes and eStimat-
ing its cost at from $123, 100000 to
$148, 900 depending on amount Of
electric power to be developed.
Here we see Herbert Hoover not
merely candidate favorable to an
improvement popular in the Northwest
but q prime mover in the project, en-
thusiastic about it long before his
nomination. On the other hand, in
the same prediction period Governor
Smith was hostile to the st. Lawrence
Waterway and now promises only to
appoint a commission to study water
ways and suggest the best route.
Hoover's commission has already
made this study and as engineers and
businessmen reported in favor of the
st. Lawrence waterway. This report
is already available to Governor Smith,
and the only excuse for Smith COM
mission is to set the Hoover report
aside in favor of the New York route
Below are some Of the relative disad-
vantages of the route suggested by
New York:

ONE-SIXTH OF OUR TIME USED
TO PAY TAXES.

While, in the majority of businesses,
the tax bill is one of the greatest sim
gle items of overhead, business men
give far less thought and considera-
ton to this expense than to other, and
often smaller, expenditures which they
control directly.
According to an article in the Tax
Digest, approximately one-sixth of our
national income now goes to pay the
cost of government. Three years ago,
in 1925, one-eighth of our national
income was used for this purpose. And
before the war taxes took but one-SiX-
tenth.
Governmental activities and main
tenance in general are becoming
steadily more expensive with little sign
of improvement. In spite of federal
economies, the costs of state, county
and city governments have so increased
that the average citizen is carrying
greater burden than ever before.
The business man should realize that
one-sixth of his working time belongs
to the tax collector under existing
conditions. Every sixth automobile,
every sixth kilowatt of electricity, every
sixth bushel of wheat produced goes
to the tax office.
If we are to have reduction, we must
have public interest that examines and
controls expenditures. A lax public
consciousness results in political eX-
travagance and waste that must leave
its mark on personal and general pros
perity.

REAL CRIME REFORM.

The mistake often made by crime re.
formers Is in believing that there is a
quick and sure panacea for suppress
sing the criminal.
Anti-piStol laws, for example, are
proposed and sometimes passed by
well-meaning citizens who hold that
by disarming anyone, crime will auto
matically disappear
As a matter of logic, it is manifestly
impossible to disarm a criminal class
with its widely spread contacts and
efficient organization
Further, it is as obvious that even il
it were made impossible for thug
to get pistol" he could carry on
his career with the aid of sawed off
erous other perfectly legal weapons
One of the worst of European crime
waves was that caused by the CARROT
tiers, who choked their victims with
cords.
The result of such laws is that the
criminal continues his depredations
with the advantage of knowing that
the law-abiding citizen will be unarm-
ed and defenseless.
Real crime cures are not so simple
Iney must operate over period OF
time before their effect is felt They
must inStill in the criminal class a
respect for the efficiency and certain
ty of the law
In New York, the Baumes Laws
which automatically gives the offender
life Imprisonment upon his fourth
felony conviction, have appreciably re-
duced crime. Similar laws have had
the same effect in other states They
point to real crime reform.
