HOOVER STICKS TO HIS GUNS.

By his veto of the Muscle Shoals measure, by which the Congress sought to launch the Federal Government into the business of producing, disrlbut- ing and selling power in competition with private industry President Hoover took the course which all of his training as an engineer and his experience in the world of business would indicate There must have been few observant persons in the entire nation who at any time had any doubt to the Presi- dents attitude this issue. There was only the question as to whether he would kill the bill by a pocket veto as possible under law, or courag- eously face the issue which has been picked by Senator Norris and his cohorts for the 1882 national campaign He chose the latter course and in SO doing is entitled to the respect and admiration of the public It would have required less stamina to have simply failed to sign the bill and let 1t die But MT Hoover took the manly way the fighters way content apparently to let the Norris group make out of it whatever political capital it can
 His veto is based on sound business principles as well as good governmental philosophy. It had in advance the approval of the business mems organi- zation of the United States Several weeks ago, by an overwhelming vote the membership of the National Chamber of Commerce by referendum dis approved of Government ownership and operation of power plants specifically of Muscle Shoals It endorsed in general the principal of private owner ship and private operation, and recommended Muscle Shoals be either sold or leased to private owner ship In this test with the Congress, the President emerged with flying colors and his fortnight stand cannot help but win him friends which he needs about as desperately any President of the United States has ever done.

Canada's Discrimination.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Canada is careful with reference to immigration coming to her shores She desires, and welcomes worthy and worth while settlers, but she sets her face inexorably against any and all immigration which might affect the welfare of her people industrially otherwise
 The Dominion just has deported 12O immigrant seekers of homes. They were adjudged as likely to become public charges The larger good is more important in the eyes of the Dominion Govern ment than any claim of individual or individuals She does not want, and will not have, criminals invalids those persons likely to become public charges. She will take risks. She promptly de- ports anyone who is found after residence of five years to come within the category of her immigration prohibitions.
 This was the fate of eleven hundred persons in 1929. An especially observant eye is being kept by the Government at Ottawa on all newcomers in the present season of hard times The Dominion is for Canada first. Why people is their business. The Government assumes no respon- sbility after they do
 It is rational policy. People who unde- srables or who may become such because of crime or disease or improper political activities should be debarred from Canada and all the Americas Worthwhile immigration, within prudent limitations will always be encouraged and welcomed in the Pnited States and the Dominion.

GOVERNMENT CANNOT SUPPORT THE
 PUBLIC.
PUBLIC.

Just prior to the beginning of the present term af the Alaska Legislature, views of several of the members on the need for economy in appropria- tions were published in The Empire and telegraphed to other parts of the Territory The Seward Gate way the excellent daily newspaper of Seward which is always alive to the topics of the day took occasion to disagree with this attitude and urged the Legislature to emulate Congress and State Assemblies by increasing rather than decreasing grants of money.
 Under the caption, of to a Bum Start the Gateway said editorialy:

concensus of opinion among the Legislators
 they should make conditions tougher in the Territory by diligently practicing economy All over the United States, towns, cities
 and the Government spending to the limit for public improvements and local
 projects in effort to restore confidence and relieve the unemployment crisis. The Alaska Legislators had better listen to the people who put them where they are; instead of economizng in appropriations, they had better spend to the limit; they
 do better than follow the dictates
 of other similar groups and distribute funds
 with free hand with smile instead of
 with funeral-like demeanor.
 It is true that the national and many State, county and municipal governments are making record breaking appropriations to relieve unem- ployment Public construction programs are being advanced and expanded very largely. But it is not fair to hold them up to Alaska as an lllustrlous example to follow. They build for the future and future generations pay the bills Their operations almost entirely financed upon public securities and the taxpayer of today pays little more than the annual interest the debt
 Alaska is on the cash and carry system. It., too builds for the future But the taxpayer of the year foots the entire cost bill Necessarily this puts a limit on expenditures. Logically the Terri torys lawmakers cannot expend larger sum than it's treasury has in the vaults or can reasonably expect to have by the time the accounts become due at the years end. True, it might raise its taxation schedules to increase it's prospective eve nues But industry can only pay taxes up to definite point. When the assessments pass that point, it must close shop and wait for the return of better days. That, of course would defeat the aim of the measures and be disastrous to govern ment operations
 The idea which seems to have become nation wide in its spread that the government should sup port the public, is an economic fallacy No govern ment, however rich and powerful it may have grown and Alaska is neither exist long and pursue that system Government, as Grover Ceve- land once said is not created for the support of the people, but to be supported by the people.
