Presidents and Tariffs.
(New York World.)

Senator Hiram Johnson has just expressed a perpexity which many of his colleagues share: I do not understand this tariff stua- tion. It perplexes us. To a venacuar expression do not know where we are at. We would like to know and we ought to be advised whether are going to have bill and whether the President is for the bill that came from the Finance Commit tee or for the bill supported by the coali- tion
 simply this: What is the Administration program? It is a question without answer. There is no
 Administration program, for the reason that MT
 Hoover apparently does not regard himself and his Congressional majority working partners who constitute Administration. He called Congress in special session to pass farm-relief measure and tariff-revision measure His statement re- gardng the tariff went further than that he
 wished limited" revision, and that by limited
 he meant restricted to industries in distress With this he left the subject.
 The House, under the strict control of its Steer ing Committee, was supposedly amenable to all the Presidents wishes. Yet he stood aside and per- mitted the Tlsons the Hawleys and their like to convert limited tariff, primarily for farm re- lief into tariff offering unprecedented subsidies to rich industrial interests. Without objection expostulation, he let the Senate Finance Commit tee, with the Grundys and Eyansons in the back ground, keep many of the worst features of the
 House bill. When he did issue statement he said merely that he could not believe that Congress had lost the power to legislate But he showed
 recognition of the fact that it is often the duty of the Executive to assist Congress to egslate.
 No who gazes at this tariff mess help
 reflectng upon the contrast it presents to Presi- dent Wilson's handling of the tariff fifteen years ago. Mir Wilson called special session for April 8. His Tariff Bill, passed in precisely the shape he wanted it. signed and operative October 8 How was it done? To be sure, MT. Wilson's posi- ton in sense easier than MT Hoovers T,a rtx, >lAI utterly dependent upon him. In another sense it was harder-hs Senate margin was narrower while
 there two Democratic factions as there are
 now two Republican factions. But his tactics were far more effective. He took from the beginning
 the attitude that Congress and the President must
 work together.

THE SAYING By Mary Graham Bonner

 John and Peggy stood quietly on the bank of the pond where they had been taken by the Little Black Clock, who stood by their side. Eagerly they listened as Leader Drake continued talking.
 That last pleasant nibble was just the right size for my bill. It fitted just right. It tasted just right. It was simply just right. What is l~5re important than that my bill should be filled just right by something delicious to eat?"
 The ducks all quacked-quacked and decided nothing was more im- portant.
 From now on,' said Leader Drake, T am going to send that saying out all over the world.
 Perhaps others will get the credit for it. Perhaps others will think they started it, but here in the brook is where that saying is being started.
 Tn the future when anyone says that something just fills the bill, meaning that something is just about right and perfect, it will be because your Leader Drake had the bright idea of starting the saying
 "Ah, yes, others may have made great discoveries and accomplished mighty deeds, but your Leader Drake is going to send out word. by every breeze, that when something is quite perfect the way to describe it is to say it fills the bill"
 The ducks all quackingly agreed and as John and Peggy left the brook with the Little Black Clock they said:
 whenever we hear that we'll al- ways remember about Leader Drake and the brook"

A CHALLENGE.

Tn a radio address broadcast from Seattle
 on July 19 the recently appointed Com
 missioner of Education William John Cooper,
 issued a call to ambitious young native peo-
 pie which is timely and stimulating. Among
 other well uttered words were the follow
 ing:
 q should like to develop more Alaska
 leaders of Alaskans. It seems to me that
 the day has arrived when Alaska should
 develop its own leaders. I want to see
 Alaska's children taught by Alaskan teach
 CTS who have learned to speak their coun-
 try's language, who have come to under-
 stand her ideals and love her institutions
 also look for the day when some of these
 young and women will ask for training
 as nurses dentists, physicians and surgeons,
 that Alaska may take her place along side
 of the best States in the Union in stand
 ards of health and sanitation"
 Dr. Coopers address constitutes a cha-
 lenge to young people of native birth. The
 recognition of the ideal which he sets forth
 is within the grasp of the present genera
 tion. In natural endowment there is no
 inferority. It is question of determina-
 ton, persistence and application.-( (Sitka
 Verstovian)
 That is all right if it is properly applied I Dr. Cooper wants individual Indians to develop ability and knowledge that will cause other indi viduals, Indians and whites. to turn to them a. American citizens, for leadership, he has a laudab, ambition for those whom his bureau is endeavorine to educate.
 Almost from the time the present management assumed control of The Empire nearly sixteen years ago. this paper has contended that the ultimate destiny of the Alaska Indians is full citizenship and participation in politics, industry and business on equal basis with white citizens.
 However. The Empire has contended and still contends that this cannot be brought about through the political organization of the Indians Indians to strive for what leader might represent to be the special interests of the Indians Indians The organization of the Indians as separate bloc of voters to work for their own interests under the leadership of ambitious is equivalent to the establishment of country within a country Its tendency is to create racial antagonisms, and that is not well for the Indians, or the whites the country. It is not fostering condition o1 equality of citizenship There cannot be coaesence if the Indians brought into the body of citi- zens as tribes other organized bodies through treaties other political arrangements. Each h. dian must in individual to make unity that is necessary for the general good.

Side Of Question Of

Complete analysis Of the pro-
posed hydro-clcctric development by
the irrigation district was made
last night by directors and czccu-
tives O. the district 1T meeting
sponsored hy the American Cousrr-
walton club. The meeting was held
in tho court housa.
Power potcntialitics as an Incl
dent TO irrigation Of Imperial Val
Icy are too great to be ignored
longer by the people. declared Mark
Rose, director Of the district, who
was the first Of three speakers.
Rose outlined the tremendous
power resources jn connection with
the building Of thr Il-American
canal. He stated That there is an
aggregate Of close to 10000 horse
power that can be developed on the
various drops Of the canal from
Pilot Knob to the valley.
= Imperial Irrigation District,
which IS the organization of the
people themselves, cannot afford to
rclinquish it's claim to this great
asset, Rose said. We have al
ready been given one tcntatirt of
fer for a small fraction of that
power, but the price We would get
is insignificant as compared to the
wealth we are going to develop If
we plan ahead and utilize all avail
able power sites.
NJ. J. Dowd, chief engineer of the
irrigas' on districS,, followed Rose
and gave a complete review Of the
proposed immediate development Of
power on the irrigation canals in
the valley.
"Tho bonds we propose to issue
for this project are not tax bear
