GOV. PARKS BRINGS GOOD NEWS.

That very Frightening budget of news
that Gov. Parks brought back with him from
the National Capital OF first Importance OF
course, far Juneau is concerned is the fact
that shall have very beautiful Territorial
capitol within little than year at cost
of s750,00O Gov. Parks said the contract for
the construction II the building will he let in
April and within about year thereafter the
structure will have been completed That will
clear up subject that has been pending for a
long time.
The Information that experienced alienist
will be supplied by the Government to have fun
charge of the Alaska patients Mornngside
hospital for the insane is good news. Such ac-
ton ought have been taken before II
will relieve any uspicion that might exist that
the Alaska patients are nct getting the best medi-
cal attention or that they retained in the
Institution after they have been cured in order
to allow he contractors to get The profits from
their care.
It is also pleasing 10 get the assurance that

will begin within few weeks.
The favorable prospect for the extension to
Alaska CT the Hatch Adams and Puren Acts,
which will add materially to the available funds
for the Alaska College and the passage of leg
islation giving the college 100000 acres of land

Who Wants S25,OOO,OOO?
New York world.)

We are moving, it would appear, closer and
closer to a showdown prohibition enforcement.
A few weeks ago behed wet, Senator Bruce
OF Maryland introducing bill to provide $270,-
GOO 000 for this work, this being the amount
which added to the $3U.0D0000 already avail
able. would make up the S300,o 600 which Mr.
Doran, the Prohibition Commissioner, had said
was really needed And as soon as this bill was
introduced a sudden change took place in the
strategic situation. The drys, who had for years
taken refuge in the assertion that the prevalence
of bootleEging due to the lack of money to
hire United States agents, met themselves, so to
speak, coming back They had to choose be-
tween taking the money thus offered the
hand, and admitting That they satisfied with
the notorious conditions that now prevail the
other hand. They chose the latter course. The
bill killed, with all the Republican drys
voting against it.
But now comes bill which is not from
wet but from dry, and which does not name
SUM which is nearly ten times large the
present enforcement appropriation, but
slightly smaller Senator Harris OF Georgia,
Democratic dry. introduced bill to provide $50
600 600 additional lor enforcement II was scaled
down by the Committee Appropriations to
$25, 100000, and Mr.. Harris asked Mr. Doran to
express his feeling about this compromise amount.
Mr.. Doran enthusiastically in favor Of it,
But Senator Warren, Chairman of The Committee
on Appropriations, asked Secretary Mellon to ex-
press his feeling about it. And Mr.. Mellon is
against it, on the ground that the preparation of
more cases against viclators of the law would
be of no help, since the courts are unable to
try the cases already prepared, and that the
money would be more usefully spent if aIocated
to the Department Of Justice, the Customs Service
and the Coast Guard
So that is whore we stand. Mr. Harris to
Judge from his remarks on Thursday is in dead
earnest and is shocked at the prevalence of
bootleggers, who he says outnumber the old
barfooms in the ratio of hundred to one And
once more the drys will have to make a choice
between an effort at real enforcement and LET
tins things &C they are going 1t will be
interesting TO see which course they will take.

Canada and the Volstead Act.
OLYMPIA Olympian. }

If the United States wants prohibition it is
up to this country to enforce it. The flow OF
liquor across the Canadian border will continue
unless more effective steps taken by the Gov
ernnent to stop IT, Canada will go further
in helping to enforce he law to curb American
thirst
These conclusions may be drawn from the re-
suits OF the three-day conference Of Canadian
Government representatives with Prohibition and
Customs Officials of the United States at Ottawa.
The conference adjourned without reaching any
definite agreement. Canada demonstrated indif-
ference to American prohibition troubles, and
there is little possibility of change in this
policy in the future The conference evoked
much discussion in Canada and showed that
public opinion in that country is decidedly OPP
posed to cooperation with the United States to
enforce the Volstead Act
The anti-smuggling treaty between the United
States and Canada signed in 1924 Under
this agreement the two Governments mutually
helpful in preventing contraband trade In the
conference of this week the American delegates
ask Canada 10 refuse to issue documents per-
hitting the export of goods which not be
illegally imported into the United States The
Canadian delegate are justified in their con-
clusion that this is asking TOO much of neigh
Dor, especially one who is in sympathy with
cur legislation on liquor However. the dele
gates will report the request to their Govern
ImeRt together with the advanced in
support Of The There is little chance
that the proposal Will find any favor with the
Canadian Parliament
Failure to secure the aid of Canada in cutting
off the flow OF liquor the border viii be a
blow to prohibition because this traffic is now
one of the chief of liquor in the States
With the limited funds provided by Congress
for enforcement agents have been unable 10 cope
with the rum runners on the Great Lakes How
eyer, the problem is distinctly one for this
Government 70 deal with. There is no consist
ency in asking foreign government to enforce
an American law.
