Aud it might be quite true that
Iif the defnite information. as. to

either or neither rate bad been

coming from a survey would

what the correct rate should be

a reasonable profit for the pro

(; There will be a bill offered to
provide for cities having the
to pass upon the utilities rates
, within their own corporate limits.
! That too, seems a step in the
right direction. It is definitely
in the direction of home rule and
most people believe home rule in
government wise policy. There
are features in rate making in
which the state commission still
could be helpful and the propos
ed plant survey by the commits
sion, placed at the command of
the cities in connection with
bone rule rate making, would
surely serve a definite purpose
to all the cities of the state.
Undoubtedly there is a field
for some constructive legislation
touching upon utilities service.
Rates are ever morsel of dis.

none knows the merit Of the
rates because nobody outside the
owners knows the actual plant
worth of the producing utility.
When that Information is availa

WE PREFER SENATORIAL
 INFLUENCE"

The Wickersham Commission has reported to the President condemning the influence of United States Senators in the selection of United States District Attorneys and alleges that the custom in- terriers with the enforcement of law. Inasmuch as it was the failure of Prohibition enforcement that caused the commissioning of the Commission, it is fair to assume that the Senatorial influence" com p!ained of was regarded as inimical to that par t.cular feature of law enforcement.
 If that is the case, it would also be fair to as aume that the Commission is not impressed with the good faith of that Prohibition majority in the United States Senate.
 However as far as we are concerned we have lot more confidence in Senatorial Influence" in the selection of F deral I Judges, Attorneys and Marshas than have in Anti-Saloon League in fluence" in the selections. People will not forget the betterment that has some about since the days when Mabel Willebrandt and Wayne Wheeler were permitted to insist that all such appointments had to bear their OK. Conditions have improved a lot since the days when Federal authorities were so willing to justify homicide and other crimes com mitted by Prohibition enforcement agents in the name of enforcement.

Resources are Expected to Be Sufficient to Meet

For the Dime and Dollar Build ing and Loan Association, the Guardian Building and Loan As sociation, the Western Savings and Loan Association and their hold ing corporation, the Mortgage h. vestment Company. all of Portland Ore, application for a receiver has been made by their officers in the courts at Portland and the Cor poration Commissioner of the State of Oregon has also petitioned the same tribunals for authority to take charge of the assets and busi- ness of the various companies. h. formation as to the court actions has been received in Juneau by A. U Nelson, general agent in Alas ka for the four savings and in- vestment organizations.
 Business Is Discontinued As result of the involved con- dition of the companies, Mir Nell son has discontinued the execu- tion of new contracts and the ac- ceptance of money on old con- tracts.
 The Dime and Dollar agency was established in Alaska about two years ago and the Western Savings and Loan about five years ago. Both have written consid- erable business in the southeast part of the Territory.
 T have received no detailed ad- vices as to resources and liabilities since the beginning of the court actions in Portland" said MT. Nell son today.
 Real Estate Won't Move T believe, however, that ulti- mate losses, if any, to customers will be small. Savings have been invested in realty holdings, and these holdings, on account of the economic depression in the States. cannot be readily turned into money. To realize on the real estate interests will be a slow pro- cess, but I feel confident that fin ally the resources of the compan- ies will meet their liabilities"
 MT. Nelson will remain in Ju- neau to conserve so far as he is able the interest of Alaska invest ors. He plans to engage in the business of fire, accident and life insurance

 Enough has been said to give a picture, however sketchy and to lay down the pre- mise for the conclusion that the Grand Old Party knows how to handle memorials and funerals, that dual purpose may be served that not only may the departed be hon. ored but that in the very loss of life that the party has sustained it may derive real benefit and advantage

POLITICS IN FUNERALS AND GRAVES.

writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer points out one of the evidences of the better politics played by Republicans than Democrats He says Republicans make profession of politics while Democrats only work at the game while campaign is on The evidence of this he says is the manner in which Republicans play up funerals of their dead and make monuments for their graves. He offers as proof of his point the circumstance of the proposal to have all the great party leaders at the dedication of the Harding Memorial soon, and to the monu ments in Washington and elsewhere to Republican leaders.
 Who knows, he asks, where Madison, Monroe, Jackson and Cleveland were buried? Who knows what sort of funeral they Jefferson and Wilson

Alaska Kills Proposed Fibre COntainer Tax.

Pacific Pulp and Paper Industry, Seattle)
 Introduced to provide straw for the drowning lumber mills in Southeastern Alaska which claim serious nroads been made in their business by the wholesale adoption of the fibre contaner for shipping canned fish foods packed in Alaska, the Alaska Territorial Legislature April 30 appar- ently thought better of the situation whole and killed a bill which proposed to levy discrimina- tory excise tax the fibre container.
 While the plight of the Alaskan box shook manufacturers is perhaps acute, and the salmon canners were disposed to listen to reason it was pointed out in hearings that adoption of the fibre containers was being forced upon the packers by the brokers wholesalers, and retailers of canned goods The distributing group has expressed a strong preference for the improved fibre contaner.
 Expressions from the paper industry indicate that defeat of the proposed tax fibre containers will eventually rebound to the benefit of Southeast ern Alaska the lumber industries there included. In the past few years two big interests have carried out extensive timber and water power surveys pre- liminary to the establishment of two huge news print mills
 The vast pulptimber resources of Alaska presage definite ultimate pulp and paper development in the Territory. Any hostility towards the paper n- dustry such suggesting discriminatory excise tax greater ultimate development with it's consequent investment of tens of millions of dollars and its contribution of sizeable year'round payros for Alaska To kill the proposed tax just plain good business.
