INVALUABLE TRAINING SCHOOL.

If the Alaska cable system, including the radio chain is sold by the Federal Government to com msrcial interests, as IS now proposed by the Ad- minstration, there will be los to the Army its most valuable school of training for its Signal Corps branch In the operation and maintenance of the cable land telegraph lines ana stations, and the radio telegraph plans which comprise the system thousands of Signal Corps officers and men have gained practical experience that was invaluable to them and in times of national emergency, proved to be beyond price to the nation.
 If the system is sold, the Army has no insti- tuition with which it may be replaced, no facilities to furnish training and practical experience abso- lutely necessary to make its Signal Corps an ef- fective field organization. It has schools of radio and land telegraphy at few Army posts. but their facilities limited and beyond imparting to offi- cers and something of the theory Of their profession it is impossible for them to do a great deal.
 In the World War, a high percentage of the officers in charge of the American systems of com- munication in the of hostilities particularly in France were Alaska communications alumni. They got most of their training and experience Tn the operation of plants, in the construction oI stations and lines in handling business right here on the Government system. It is not of record that any man picked from the system, or who had made good the system at some previous period, failed to make equally good Wltn the Amerlcan arinleS dI the front
 Army authorities. themselves, are not unaware of this Were it left strictly to military author ties to decide whether the Government should re- tain or sell the system, the answer would be retain it. The dissent from that view would be negligible. Brig. Gen. George S. Gibbs, veteran of the Alaska service and who back in the early part of this century built the north-centra section of the sys tenn of land lines Chief Signal Officer last year emphasized the military view in hearing before the House Appropriation Committee. He pointed out that the cost Of Army personnel on the system was an expenditure that had to be borne by the Government under any circumstance Whether the system existed or not, he declared, it would cost the Government the same sum, $3l5,000 annually to give these officers and men the same kind of valuable instruction and training they are receiving on the system at equal cost. This statement did not fully portray the situation. As matter of fact it would cost the provided the Army possessed other facilities to give them the necessary opportunities for study and experience It does not have them, and without them it could not be had at any price It evident that the sale of the Alaska system will result in the lowering of the efficiency of the entire Signal Corps

last August about the time the first of the current years pack reached the market, prices for the cheaper grades, pinks and chums have been lower than the cost of packing them. That such con- don should last, when all available statistics go to show that canned salmon being sumed than for many years, is concrete evidence of the lack of organization in the selling end of the industry The prices to indicate that the sales organization, the Pacific Salmon Sales Corporation, is beginning to function. Pinks are quoted at sl and chums at 90 cents per dozen These figures still too low for the majority of packers to meet production costs. The
 industry is not yet out of the woods. But the fact that It able after a few weeks under the new organization scheme to make a 20 per cent raise in it's prices, gives a more hopeful tone to the entire salmon canning situation.

'Tenshun, Florida!
(New York Times.)

(New York TmeS)
 Those who with reason complain that the political service of the Republic does not attract its ablest citizens should note with especial interest efforts in the South to correct this condition. Some days ago Raleigh correspondent told of the growing movement in North Carolina to induce ex-Secretary Daniels to stand for Governor. Now a Florida dispatch to the Watch-Tower conveys the more remarkable news that General Charles P. Summer all, ex-Chief of Staff of the United States Army is being sought for Chief Executive in that State If this tendency grows to draw upon the galaxy of those who made their regulations in the World War. and the consent of the eminent can be obtained, may be hearing in this country of "a return to idealism" And perhaps of Leg islators and State officials being hurried off to the guardhouse
 Nebraska and Missouri both have cast longing eyes General Summerall's commander, Gen. era Pershing. Ex-Secretary Baker could probably have any office within the gift of the people of Ohio. In New Jersey, General Scott, who built the new State highway system, has heard but not listened to the siren call of politics and both in Kentucky, where he lives and Alabama, where he was born General Sibert has been offered political nomination. Friends of the late Lieut. Gen. Henry Allen hoped that the Democrats might nominate him for Vice President at Houston But apparently the heroes and administrators of the appeal most to their home-folk So that it is in State office that we are most likely to find them in the next decade
 In General Summeran, The Tampa Tribune which suggested his nomination for Governor has turned to of great distinction and exceptional administrative and military ability. There many officers of the A. E. F. who certain that if the had lasted. the commander of the First Division and later of the Fifth Army Corps would have emerged tactician famed in history. Also he is Phi Beta Kappa and has nearly as many lcollege degrees military decorations. He born in Florida and has announced that he expects to spend the remainder of his life there.

ELECTIONS MAY NOT DECIDE HOUSE
 CONTROL.

There has been great deal of talk during the past few months about the bearing that special Congressional elections to be held Tuesday will Representatives There are seven vacancies to be filled by special elections next Tuesday. Only one difference memberships divides the two big parties If the Democrats win many as five of the special elections they will be in position to organ ize the House. However, should the Republicans be successful in every of the seven their con- tro still is not assured. To that extent the eec- tons will not be controlling
 This is accounted for by the revolt of certain so-caled Progressive Republicans from the middle West, seeking specific reforms in House procedure and recognition for pet legislative projects. That they are ready to vote with the Democrats on organization if they not pacated was made evident just now by the announcement of the Wis., consn delegation to that effect There are II mem tars of that States contingent in the House. Eight of them while nominally Republican are listed as Progressives If they should vote with the Demo- crats, it would give that party more than enough to take over the organization, electing Speaker and having the Chairman and a majority every committee.
 The outlook therefore. is not altogether encour- aging for those Republicans who have assumed their party would continue to direct the destnies of the House As Mark Sullivan, political cores pondent for the New York Herald Tribune recently remarked in a signed article in that publication, such an assumption requires 'the violent exercise of optimism" on the part of Republicans.

FARR NAMED AS
DEFENDANT in
ANOTHER SUIT

G. Roy Farr, object OF startling
charges made by his wife in a di-
yorce suit recently filed, yesterday
afternoon became defendant in a
$4,000 alienation of affections suit
brought by Luther Weaver.
In his suit Weaver complained
that Farr has stolen the love OF his
wife, Sue Weaver. and that all eff
forts at reconciliation have proven
fruitless. Sue Weaver was also
named in the divorce suit filed by
Fairs wife.
At various times, in Los Angeles,
Farr made presents Of money, jew
els and clothing TO Mrs. Weaver,
charged the complaint, and in June,
1880, induced her TO divorce her
husband. Thereafter, ass I d
Weaver, Farr furnished capital with
which Mrs. Weaver started a hotel
in BraWley.
Weaver. in his complaint. cited
one instance when. he alleged, Mrs.
Weaver informed him she was 60
ing to visit friends in Los Angeles,
but instead went to San Diego TO
meet Farr. There she assumed the
name of Louise Patterson, said
Weaver, and under that name be-
came involved in an automobile
accident which sent Farr and her
to the hospital.
Weaver traced the alleged affair
between his wife and Farr back TO
1924: He asked for Judgment Of

THE INCOME TAX

Several million Americans scuttled
under the wire last night in the race to
pay their income tax before the time al
lowed by law had expired.
Paying taxes cannot, by any stretch of
the imagination, be considered as pleas
ant affair. Few of us like to pay out
money when we cannot see the particu-
lar object for which the expenditure is
made, or experience tangible benefit
from it.
While the income tax is the subject
of considerable criticism for one reason
or other, principally because many be-
lleve II is too burdensome on the man
Of small means, there is considerable
satisfaction to one who really loves his
country when he considers that the
money he pays as income tax goes to
help maintain the government
Whatever shortcomings our system of
government may have, this is our coun-
try and we should be proud to support
it, not only by being loyal to it but bv
unleashing our pocketbooks to enable it
to operate. 1t is not Mr.. Hoover's coun-
try, nor does it belong to the members
of congress. nor to the Wall street barons.
John Smith, residing in the meanest lit
tie crossroads hamlet in the country, is
as much a part of the United States as
Mr.. Hoover
John Smith may not be able to under
stand it, but whatever concerns the gov
eminent Of the United States of Amer
lea concerns him, even though it may be
indirectly and he may never know about
it.
When he pays his income tax, the Am
erican citizen not only obeys the law in
itself-he gives proof of his willingness
to bear his share of the governments
burden.
We may grumble (and most of US do
at paying the tax, but we do no grumb-
ling when what we have paid comes back
to us in the form of benefits as result
of the operations of the various depart
ments, bureaus, boards and commissions
of the government.
Ask any resident who has lived in a
foreign country whether the income tax
IS burdensome as compared with taxes
which may be levied in his former coun-
try. His answer, if he is fair, may as
