Conditions generally in the coast cities of Westward and Southeast Alaska are making good progress in the opinion of H. I. Lucas, Ter ritorial bank examiner, who re- turned to Juneau this week from an official trip that took him as far Westward as Anchorage and as far South as Ketchikan.
 Tt was my first trip to the Westward" he declared. Develop ment surprised me. I made many delightful acquaintances. I enjoyed visits of several days each. in An chorage and Seward While the steamship called at Valdez and Cordova I took advantage of the opportunity to see those places.
 Tn Southeast Alaska, I was at Hyder, Ketchikan, Wrangell and Petersburg. I had been in all of them several times previously. Bus mess and ind u trial conditions throughout Southeast Alaska inn pressed me favorably All the com munities are enterprising, and for tunately situated with respect to natural advantages"
 Mir. Lucas was away from Juneau six weeks. On his trip to Southeast Alaska cities he was accompanied by Mrs. Lucas.

WASHINGTON, D, C., Sept 15.- Relief plans of the American Le- g!ons Employment Conference here were interrupted by warning giv- en by James Harbord, Chairman of the Board of the Radio Cor poration and former Chief of Staff of the Am ri can Expeditionary Forces.
 Harbord warned that bonus de- mands should be slowed down.
 You can't go to the American Legion National Convention in De- troit next week with a program of relief in one hand and a tin cup in the other and expect to get anywhere" said Harbord.
 Harbord demanded that the Am erican Legion take care of it's own 750,000 unemployed.
 One relief plan proposed to thc American Legion Employment Con- ference here was legalization of beer. This plan was proposed by M. J. McDonough, President of the Building Trades Department of the Federation of Labor. McDonough said the manufacture of beer would result in the speedy employment of 1,250,0O0 men.

 NO other commodity is as valu- able except gold, no other commod- ity arouses international jealousies to anything like the same extent.
 T feel almost inclined to say that 1t would constitute serious setback to the cause of peace, and in fact, would almost constitute an international calamity. if an- other great oil field should be dis covered with the same potentiali- ties as those of the Iraq fields
 Unless some arrangement is mads to regulate the allotment of shares in newly discovered oil fields between competing interests on a peaceful basis, International com plication fraught with extreme danger may ensue.
 This question does not seem to fall within the sphere of the l League of Nations.
 T suggest that an agreement might be reached by the powers to the effect that in the event of eny new oil fields being discovered an international corporation shall be organized under the auspices of the League of Nations in such a manner that all nations may have access to an equitable portion of this important commodity"

 Starts Career at IA
 He began his naval career at the age of IA Graduating from Am napolis four years later, he was assigned to the West Gulf Block adlng Squadron and immediately plunged into the Civil War. He was detailed to the Colorado, and soon after joining the ship was sent out on an expedition that nearly resulted in his death.
 It was with the row-boat expe- dition sent to burn the Confeder- ate steamer Judah in Pensacola harbor in 1861. Higginson was one of the first to climb aboard the enemy's ship. Fighting hand to hand with the steamers crew he fell with a serious wound that threatened his life for many weeks.
 Wins Citation
 Though young in years many exacting responsib il it ies fell to young Higginson.. He was given command of a fleet of launches to patrol Norris Island, and won com mendation from the commander of the army forces, General Gilmore.
 During the blockade of Charles ton, Higginson was executive officer of the Housatonic. One dark night the Confederate submarine torpedo boat, H. l.. Hunley. slipped from shore and ran a torpedo under the ship. The explosion sent her to the bottom like a stone. She sank so quickly that Higginson on watch below decks, and the crew scarcely had time to chamber into the rig ging which remained above water There they clung until rescued many hours later.

Why Sterling Used the
Veto Knife

It Is matter Of record that Gov. Ross S. Sterling re-
peatedly warned Texas lawmakers during the regular
session that the appropriations made by the legisla-
tive body would be trimmed to lit the revenue in
sight. He said 1t. time and again, and he said Il with
a polite bark of his words. Well. the expected happen
ed. He cut the appropriation bills to fit the revenue
In sight. He kept his word. He did not dodge the is
sue. He shouldered the responsibility. His reasons for
q vigorous use OF the pruning knife, should be placed
in the record. he said:
TT has required exceeding fortitude on the part Of
the executive to veto the many items that have been
stricken out Of the educational appropriation bill. !
AN FOE THE EDUCATION OF TEXAS YOUTH, yet,
considering the states financial condition and the
nationwide depression I could not conscientiously APP
prove all Of these appropriation bills as passed by the
legislature, creating a deficit in the state treasury Of
from four TO six millions Of dollars.
"HowEvER. IT BE r IN MIND
THAT THE DOLLAR NOW HAS A PURCHASING
POWER OF Is TO 40 ENT MORE THAN 1T HAD
TWO AGO
In cutting out all summer schools for the latter
year OF the biennium I had in mind that the legisla-
ture will be in session in January Of 1881, in time to
make such provisions for the summer schools for
that year as may be deemed advisable"
So that's that. Lawmakers failed to tap new sources
Of revenue. Gov. Sterling kept his word. He trimmed
the appropriations to keep within the revenue in
sight.
Gov. Sterling IS a business man. He mounted the
ladder from its lowest rung to the top. AS for educa-
ticn and the higher educational institutions he had
a message to send to the people in defense OF the
scientific use Of the veto power. II is worth while.
Read it:
ct goes without saying that the higher educational
institutions are in need of more buildings and facii-
ties: but I am Of the opinion It would be very poor
business to put this state in debt to the extent Of one
million dollars for new buildings at this time. The
only new buildings approved in any Of the bills were
those for eleemosynary institutions and I approved
these items because Of the trying need Of additional
Accommodations to take care Of our unfortunate wards.
many Of whom are in iails for lack Of room in the
state Institutions. No economic crisis could justify the
neglect THAT HAS Been PRACTTCED HERETO
