AutOcides.
(New York Herald Tribune.)

few centuries from historians may write down among inexplicable popular delusions of this twentieth century the quaint idea that any one can drive motor locomotive unquestonably is far less dangerous than automobile, if for no other reason than because it usually is it's track It ndubtably is easier to drive. , Yet locomotive engineers must undergo years of training and prac- tice and must pass set of physical and mental examinations scarcely less rigorous than those for aviators explorers. In most States of the Union and most countries abroad any one not obviously
 insane or dismembered is provided by his or her doting government with license to take out ton or two of moving machinery and begin to murder his fellow w-kind
 Agitation against the mounting toll of automobile fatates-what the National Safety Council pie turesquey calls "autocides'-s slackening just now because the statistical number of these deaths is falling. This is false security. The number of auto vehicles in service has decreased probably by between 10 and 20 per cent This enormously reduces congestion the roads. The result should be an equally enormous decrease in fatal accidents Bad driving, while perhaps not decreased by these
 effects of the business depression becomes far less likely to be fatal when streets and highways are not overcrowded. It may be reasonable guess that the 10 20 per cent decrease in the number |of cars should cause a decrease of 50 50 per |cent in the number of deaths from accidents. In fact the decrease of deaths is about 10 per cent Actually, therefore, autocides increasing, not decreasing. The condition exists, other recent figures show, in England and in Germany.
 One probable of this is disclosed by recent figures of the Travellers Insurance Company show
 ing that increased percentage of the involved in accidents have bad brakes other mechanical defects doubtless another effect of the depression This however cannot be all of it. does it point Ito sufficient cure. Autocides will really decrease only when would-be drivers tested are loco motive engineers, those with imperfect sight hearing, bad muscular coordination uncertain judg
 ment and similar defects being barred If this seems too expensive procedure for practical politics,
 there is the expedent oftentmes suggested by safe
 ty psychologists of requiring every driver who has his first minor accident thereupon to undergo at
 his own expense sufficient set of mental and physical tests prescribed by public authority and administered by approved physicians or other ex- perts.

GIRL SCOUTS
 BREAK CAMP
First Annual Affair Declar- ed to Be Highly
 Successful

With the closing days of the first annual Girl Scout encamp- ment drawing near, each girl has decided the experiment is a huge success and has already begun to look forward to another year when the camp will be repeated
 The girls have gained in weight, in independence and in self re- liance as the result of their camp with it's associated responsibilities. New friendships have been formed and old ones made more lasting Altogether the results of the camp have been entirely beneficial, &C., cording to those in charge and oth- CTS who have visited the girls ip the camp at Eagle River.
 Splendid Leadership
 Much of the success of the camp is due to the leaders, with Miss Jeanette Stewart at the head. Their untiring efforts have made the camp possible, together with the anfailing kindness of Tom McMul- en and his never ending supply ,f good food. It was found advis- Ible to retain the services of MT. who cooked for the Boy Icouts, when almost twice as many

FULL SPEED AHEAD.

True to it's record the Administration is moving with dispatch and energy to the prosecution of the recovery program Long before the recovery bill had been enacted into law its Administrator had set up offices formed the nucleus of his organ ization and had conferred with the leaders of ious industries
 The result is that codes for the key industries will be formulated in rapid order and manufactur CTS will then know exactly where they stand with respect to working hours and labor costs. Higher prices and wage increases appear a certainty.
 The Administration is moving with equal vigor toward the expenditure of the huge sums allotted it for public works It is planned to let contracts wholesale in the next few weeks, with emphasis laid upon measures which will most quickly alleviate un- employment. Another tremendous push to business will be supplied to overcome any seasonal slacken- ing of trade activity.
 At the same time the Government has made it clear that, in order not to interfere with rising domestic prosperity, the dollar will be allowed to seek its own level. Already foreign countries adjusting themselves to this fact and paying more attention to working out policies which will serve to lift prices the world over The United States is for once not being outtraded abroad

 What Kind of Co-Operation?

The World Economic Conference has met under conditions which are radically different from these which existed when the experts prepared the program last winter. At that time the United States was still on the gold standard, and the American price level was subject to all the influences operating up- on gold from the other gold stan dard countries, from the great group of countries of which Lon don is the financial capital, and from the depreciated silver coun- tries. American price relationships were beyond American control. In addition there was a state of poli- tical paralysis in Washington which prevented the government from taking positive measures of any kind: it was possible neither to work out controlled deflation to- ward new equilibrium nor a controlled imitation.
 Under these circumstances the one hope of relief lay in trying to persuade the other nations to re- turn to the gold standard as promptly as possible with a view at least to stabilizing gold prices and stopping further deflation. The American policy in the closing months of the Hoover administra- tion, therefore, turned chiefly on pressing Great Britain to stabilize the pound on gold. But for various reasons the British government would not commit itself. It was moved in part, no doubt, by quite proper conviction that there should be a settlement of war debts be- fore stabilization. But there is no evidence which is publicly known that Great Britain would have re- turned quickly to the gold standard even if the debts were settled. The impression may be quite mistaken, but none the less it exists in this country, that the British people were extremely reluctant to surren- der the freedom of action which goes with the management of their own currency. In any event, when the conference was organized the position was one in which the United States and France were seeking to bring Britain back to currency stabilized on gold.
 Tn the interim, the United States, after going through a crisis which was outwardly different from but inwardly very similar to the Brit ish experience, went off the gold standard and undertook the maaa- agement of it's own currency, AL most instantly the previous posi- ton was reversed: the British be- gan to preach our former doctrine of stability and we adopted the former British doctrine of being rather suspicious of the gold stap- dard and reluctant to surrender the freedom under which we had obtained such enormous relief.

 Extra Expenses
 The unplanned for expense of hiring a cook for the girls, to- gether with others that have arisen will put the girls in debt, accord ing to the advisors of the organ ization.

NOT A POLITICAL MATTER.

Anent the selection of a site for the proposed new Pioneers Home Building, the Anchorage Times recently said
 The Anchorage committee will urge hard
 the of Anchorage in the effort to get
 the Home located in near Anchorage,
 and will follow up the effort they made
 in canvassng candidates for the Legislature
 before the recent election, stating they be-
 lieve this political matter which future
 candidates also should take into account as
 the people of this region doubtless will
 reflect their views in any future elections.
 That attitude is utterly indefensble It is un fair to the Pioneers Home Building Commission of which w. A. Hesse Territorial Highway Engineer is Chairman, and which includes Frank A. Boyle, who is Secretary, Anthony E. Karnes, Commissioner of Education Judge James S. Trutt, Attorney General and Wasten G. Smith, Treasurer, as members. These men are charged by with nvesti- gating the proposed sites determining what location is best for the Territory and for those to whom the Home is refuge in old age. Their judgment ought to be, and The Empire is absolutely certain it will be- based wholly upon material factors of cost of construction, maintenance and operation convenience of location, desirabty to those who will reside in it and upon other matters.
 It is wholly unfair and unjust, and quite with out precedent for Anchorage, any committee representing the people of Anchorage to threaten these officials with political retribution if they do not pick Anchorage as the site Yet that is just what the Times has plainly declared will be done. Its language cannot be construed other than If you do not built the institution in Anchorage, the next time you come up for election, we will vote for candidates opposing you" That is the threat, quite open, brazenly bold.
 No matter if Anchorage is not the most suitable place No odds costs of construction, maintenance and operation shown to be impossibly high by the Commissions investigation. No difference even though all of Alaska, except Anchorage should agree that some other site is preferable. Just the bald notice that if Anchorage doesn't get the new plant, when next election time rolls around for the members of the Commission the voters of that fair little city and vicinity will turn thumbs down on men whose only sin will be that they honestly performed duty imposed them by the elected representatives of all the people.
 Of course, the Commission is not going to be influenced in any way by the Anchorage ultimatum. As honorable men, the Commissioners will go ahead with their studies and when all the data is assembled make their final selection. If the data favors Anchorage it will be picked If it doesn't Anchorage won't be. The silly threat will have no weight either way. Its only effect will be to weaken the strength of the Anchorage cause among Aaskans generally whose spirit of fair play will cause them to resent this sort of pressure.

IT we COiIlEttTS SOIIlSWildJ HUI . closely the present position of the two governments, we must note, think, a very important difference. The Roosevelt administration is set to undertake very powerful meas ures. It is prepared, if necessary, to revalue the dollar in case gold itself does not become revalued. It is prepared to expand credit in large volume, It is prepared to promote great public works to force some of this credi tinto use. It is prepared to refinance much pri- yate indebtedness. It is prepared by various controls to stop price cutting and wage-cutting. In short, the Roosevelt administration has the authority, and unquestionably will employ it, to attempt to bring American prices, debts, fixed charges, and wages into a work able equilibrium.
 The position of the Mcdonald Conservative government presents striking contrast. So far as one can see, it has no comparable gro- gram of action, and to all appear ances it has not the will or the unity of purpose to adopt a com- parable program. This, I suspect, is the root of the difficulty in working out immediately effective cooperation between the two gov- ernments. The Roosevelt admins tration is prepared to use the pow CT and the credit of the United States in positive action. The Macdonald government appears to be inhibited by the natural con- servatism of it's component ele- ments.
 It is the absence of any really convincing domestic program of reconstruction in Great Britain and also, of course, in France, which must make Americans hesi- tate at this time to bind the dol lar closely or rigidly to the pound, the franc and to gold. A tentative and temporary and very flexible stabilization within ample limits may be desirable; but the essen- tial fact is that until Britain and France give some real proof that they mean to take positive meas ures to raise prices, relieve debtors and enhance purchasing power, we cannot afford to be bound by their hesitation and their inaction. They are entitled to pursue any domes- tic policy they wish, but if their domestic policies do not move in the direction in which we are set to move, they must not expect the United States to stand and wait with them
 International cooperation is an admirable ideal, but it should be cooperation in powerful, concur rent and concerted measures, and not merely a cooperation which produces a negative and impotent stability.

JUNE 2s, 1913

JUNE 29, 1913
 The reception rendered by Ju. neau to the excursion party of the Alaska Bureau of the New Seattle Chamber of Commerce was a suc- cess in every particular. The ball given in the evening was a very happy occasion and the large audi torium of the Elks' hall was taxed to it's limit. Members of the party expressed their appreciation and their deep interest in the Terri tory. They left on the Jefferson for Skagway and Haines and were going then to Whitehorse and to Dawson.
 Collector of Customs and Mrs. J. R. Willis returned home on the Alameda after long visit to Ore gon and Washington cities for a month. MT. Willis represented the Juneau Masons at the grand lodge for Washington and Alaska that convened early in the month at Aberdeen.
 In a review of Juneau's mining industry, B. L. Thane stated that the Juneau gold belt which was receiving marked attention in the mining world comprised a belt ap- proximately 100 miles, in length, beginning at Windham Bay on the south, parallelling the, coast line to the north of Juneau, a distance of about 50 miles to Berners Bay.
 A welcoming social was held in the Congregational Church in Douglas to welcome the returning students and new arrivals. It was attended by large crowd and a delightful time was had.
 w. D. Grcss, one of Juneau's theatre magnates, returned on the Mariposa from an extended trip in the States. w. G. Smith, the newly-appoint- ed Territorial Treasurer, arrived in Juneau on the Admiral Sampson early in the morning. MT. Smith had formerly been the cashier of the First Bank of Katalla and said that people in that vicinity were very hopeful over the future out look of that section.
 The management of the Heidel- berg had introduced an innovation that was meeting with popular favor. It had secured the services of Ed Bilodeau, a professional en- tertainer formerly with the Break CTS at Seattle, who entertained the customers at that place after moons and evenings.

Aware of the legislative tangle In
Congress, Democratic leaders are point
ing their program for an extra session
of the new Congress that now appears
inevitable
The party pilots are anxious to carry
out the program of President-eIect
Roosevelt, but they believe that the veto
power of President Hoover and intra-
party strife over banking legislation
makes its consummation most unlikely.
With full Democratic Congress
coming into office on March with Mr..
Roosevelt, they are looking to this or
ganization to put through party pledges.
Realizing the new President will
want period in which to organize his
new Government, leaders will advise
him at Thursday nights talks here that
if special session is required it be
called not sooner than six weeks after
the Democrats take over the reigns on
March 4.
Meanwhile, every effort will be un-
dereaken here to put through the Demo-
cratic plan. Senate Smith of South
