WHY NOT REGISTER?

The official report of the Federal decennial census, which was published last year, credited Juneau with the largest population of any Alaskan community. Since the census takers performed their task here there have been material additions to the residents then numbered. Possibly no other town in Alaska has the same degree of prosperity and stability which we have These comments are not made gloatingy, but a mere recital of fact, and preliminary to what may seem an entirely un- related matter.
 But there is a relation between population, sta- bilty and prosperity, and registration for municipal election And registration right is to the fore. For several days the books which the names of the electorate must be inscribed in order for those composing it to participate in the annual City election have been open. They will close on March 28 Our total registered voting strength should be the largest of any Alaska community, by reason of our numerical superiority, sta bilty of labor and industry and prosperity It is a sign of healthy civic spirit in any town to have a major proportion of its residents take sufficient interest in its government to register and vote.
 There is every reason why each citizen should register, none why he should not. The timely way would be to perform the deed now, thus making sure of the right to vote in the next election on April 2.

GOV. PARKS'S MESSAGE.

Whatever may be the opinion entertained oy any- the virtues of the biennial message delivered by Gov. George A. Parks to the Legislature Wednes- day afternoon probably one will disagree with the terse description given it by Senator Dmond n his motion, which the Legislature passed unani- mously for vote of thanks The Third Division Senator termed it, thoughtful well considered, analytical and iluminatve" These adjectives were properly applied
 The Governor delved deeply into the operations of the Territorial Government in his discourse, demonstrating of thoughtfulness in his consideration of the several problems which was unusual The moderate phrases in which he de- pic'ed conditions, recounted the manner in which the functions of government were carried on during the past biennium and voiced his recommendations were proof of the deep study he had given the entire subject matter. He did not limit himself to word pictures of costs, revenues and appropra- tions, and the tendency toward expanded dsburse- ments, but supported his assertions with reliable statistics. He analysed and portrayed effect with drectness that convincing. Even to those familiar not alone in a general way but in detail with local governmental affairs, his exposition was cnlightening.
 The whole burden of the message was that econ omy in government is at present paramount aeces- sity Alaska, he assured his hearers, must be pro- vided with adequate funds to provide fully for the essentials required to sustain the governmental Gtruc ture but the treasury is not in position now to sustain the burden of several activities which the Governor properly classified non-essentials.
 If we were asked to point to the most important recommendation of the message, the selection would fall his closing appeal to the Legislature for a real budget law" Without balanced budget there be real economy in government. And lack ing genuine budget law, made operative through a Budget Bureau armed with every rightful author ity there can be no balanced budget The Governor wholly justified in declaring the present Alaska budget to be in name only. AS he forcefully asserted, it is merely invitation to the several administrative offices to submit requests for all the money they could possibly in the hope that they might be lucky enough to get it. Any school child knows there is element of real budget system in such procedure
 Yet every two years requests for appropriations for large submitted to the Legislature which has but 60 days in which to do all its work

Canada Raises More Trade Barriers
(New York World)


 In tariff matters Canada continues to play a game of tit-for-tat with the United States. Its latest act is to increase the duty American auto mobiles by administrative order fixing the rate base at 80 per cent of the listed price Heretofore the duty has been levied the wholesale price, which varied in the of different from 65 to 75 per cent of the listed price Under the new method of valuation for customs purposes the duty has been increased in some instances much as g per cent.
 Canada began to plan higher tariff barriers against the United States soon as the Hawley- Shoot tariff bill began to take shape in Congress. Last May the King ministry brought forward bill which would have dealt a blow to $200000000 of our export trade While this measure was pend- ing there a change of government but the Bennett ministry which came into office in August, put into effect in the following month scale of tariff duties, with many of the rates exactly duplicating those of the American tariff
 The Hawley- -Smoot tariff falls with special force Canadian products, and Canada has sought to retaate in kind. The spectacle of two countries, each the others best customer, involved in trade is not pleasing. Each may hurt the trade of the other, but in doing it will also hurt its own. The raising of barriers to commercial inter course between the two nieghbors only create idle farms, factories and workers It is an antiquated but still popular, method of settling a modern problem

Naturally, it does not have the time, and often lacks the facilities to inquire into the necessities for these money grants and seldom is it possible for it to require that justification of many important items which should be requisite before public funds properly become available for expenditure. A correctly constituted bureau of budget, clothed with necessary powers could hold hearings in ad- vance, bring out justification to support estimates for necessary appropriations and discard those which could not be justified It could then prepare and submit genuine budget to the Legislature for It's action.
