Lower or Higher Tariffs?
Manchester. Eng. Guardian )

Manchester, Eng, Guardan)
 Is the Government prepared to reduce the present British tariff in the interests of freer world trade? This may become critical queston-in the debt discussions with the United States in the tariff negotiations with individual countries and at the World Economic Conference. On Wednesday the Prime Minister declared that the Governments policy at the Conference would be directed towards win and MT. Runcman have also said as much. MT. Chamberlain has other ideas, and it is not improbable that he may be truly prophetic of Government policy than his colleagues. In his speech at Edinburgh Monday he did not go farther than talking about "the lowering of the excessive tariffs than other nations have put around their borders" This is much what expected. The other fellow is to do all the giving. On Wednesday fresh batch of increases in the British tariff announced, and there others at hand which the Import Duties Advisory Committee in it's wisdom has thought fit to propose but whicn for the moment the Government is keeping in reserve for bargaining purposes. It seems fairly clear that the Governments method of business consists in threatening still higher duties not in offering to lower existing duties This is not promising, when one sees that at the same time the Government is taking up an attitude on the st-favored- nation clause by which the difficulty of negotiating low tariff agreements is much increased. frank dis closure of the for the disappointingly slow course of the discussions with the Scandinavian States would not reveal the Governments tariff policy in good light, either as a means of re- ducing trade barriers instrument for promoting more trade for British manufacturers.

FRIEND OF JUNEAU PASSES.

In the death of Dr. Edward A. Rich Tacoma physician, the other day, Juneau lost valued and dear friend. For many years he had maintained intimate connection with the community through number of its residents. He visited here many times, cruising Southeast Alaskan waters frequently in the summer months He one of the men who initiated the Capital-to-Captal Yacht Race and entered his own vessel in that event each time it was run. He worked hard, with others to keep it alive and making of the great sporting classics of the North Pacific Ocean, and none keenly regretted it's suspension He was real friend, sportsman of the highest type and not only Tacoma, his home city but the entire North west is loser through his deaths

THE BUDGET.

The Territorial Budget, just submitted to the Territorial Legislature is deserving of careful study not only by every member of the Legislature put as well by every taxpayer of Alaska. It is the pattern by which the Senators and Representatives are asked to cut the Governments garment for the next two years It is the product Of much thought on the part of the men who compose the Board of Budget-Gov Parks Chairman, Treasurer w. G. Smith and Auditor Cash Cole. It does not repre- sent as was pointed out, meeting of the three minds MT Cole publicly announced that he could not sign the report because he did not believe that the Territory can spend the amount of money s1 5s3 927-which is the total fixed by the Board.
 And that makes all the more impressive the warning of the majority that not more than the sum specified can be safely appropriated by the present Legislature MT. Cole, with the experience of four years as Auditor behind him, warns against spend ing that much. His associates warn against spend ing more The conclusion, we believe, is inevitable that the maximum has been fixed, beyond which it would be bad public policy to venture.
 This does not mean, however, that the Legsla- ture must, or should, abide in every case by the decision of the Board of Budget to the sums to be appropriated for each specific purpose It IS not to be supposed that its part is mere cut and dried matter Its province is to examine each item in turn scrutinzng every one with the prudent care that the successful business does his own budget. There may be, indeed, probably are items that can bear with still more reductions. Some there may be that well be raised moderately although none comes to mind. But in the aggregate, not more should be appropriated than the majority of the Board agrees is safe.
 Indeed it would be economic suicide to attempt to do so, unless of course, substantial taxation increase should accompany it. And that ought not to be given a single minute of serious consdera- ton. This is not the time to increase taxation Industries in the Territory on the whole the reverse of prosperous. Our major industry-the salmon canning business-is the rocks Many of it's units will be unable to operate this season be- cause of lack of funds Market prices are below costs of production despite the fact that stocks of some varieties of salmon will shortly become ex- hausted No new source of taxation from which revenue in any appreciable amount will accrue is in sight.
 There is but one sound way to meet the financial situation in which the Territory finds itself. And that way is not to spend more money than it can reasonably expect to collect during the next biennium but to spend less

COMMERCIAL SOLVENCY.

That the commercial institutions of the United States and Canada we'll are sound, and have .withstood in astonishingy large percentage the crisis of the past three years is declared in state ment just issued by R. G. Dun and Company, and Bradstreet Company. It emphasizes that there has been no commercial panic; that only 34,76O of the 2235 900 mercantile units of the United States anc Canada failed in 1892; and that 98A per cent o1 all the commercial in the two countries met their obligations dollar for dollar in 1881 anc 1892
 The statement, in part, follows:
 The credit of the commercial concern is the backbone of the credit of the country. The bank performs contributory service with facilitates that commercial credit me- chanism. So the of the present stua- tion lies in the soundness of commercial credit.
 During the past two years many com ments have been made regarding the number of commercial failures in the United States, which in 1882 reached record for all time. Little or no emphasis has been given to the striking feature of these figures which is the most reassuring fact available at the present time-that is, that 981k of all the commercial concerns in the United States and in the Dominion of Canada met their obligations dollar for dollar in the years 1881 and 1882.
 The mercantile organizations of the Unit ed States large and small, have withstood the most severe shock in modern history While they have suffered and in the aggre- gate have lost heavily, they have come through and as whole are on sound credit basis.
 If is true that the most hazardous di- visions of industry, from operating stand point have shown very heavy business mortality But including these industries, only 34,760 commercial concerns failed in the year 1882 out of total of 2235,O00 mer- camille units in the United States and in the
The Daily Alaska empire., 1933-03-29

Dominion of Canada. That fact is peculiarly significant.
 It proves conclusively that the commercial credit structure of this country has with stood it's severest shock, and that business men have met the most precipitant uecline in commodity values and in the volume of business transacted in a period of any two consecutive years in the history of the modern world

State Bureau
Offers To Assist
Injured Libby Man
viii Pay Half OF Cost Of Artificial
Limb-Helping Many Over
State.

Left Fredericks of Helena, super
visor of the state bureau of civilian
rehabilitation, was in Libby Wednes-
day looking after matters in connection
with his departments work. Howard
Turner and Chas. p. Rowe, chairman
OF the Lincoln county relief committee,
had written Mr. Fredericks asking if
the bureau would stand the cost of an
artificial limb for a Libby man whos
if thus equipped, would be able to be-
come self-supporting again. After IN
vestigating the matter, Mr. Fredericks
said his bureau would be willing to
stand half of the cost, and 1t is very
probable the man will be equipped
SO he can hold job again.
Mr. Fredericks said while here that
the income Of the bureau had been
greatly reduced but that they were
still able to accomplish lot Of good in
training cripples and those injured
through accidents SO that they can be-
come self-supporting I'VE only had
$1,000 forguse during the entire year.
said Mr.. Fredericks, yet we had SO
people in training last winter. We have
to watch expenditures very carefully
but we are given considerable coop
Grafton by some of the counties of the
state whose citizens we are helping
1t is only by that means that we are
able to accomplish as much good as
we have in the past

Arrested For
Trespassing On
Forest Lands
u - Il -
Two Fined for Unlawful Cutting oil
Green Tnafber-Netiee Given That
Regulations Will Be Enforced

Fred Koehler and ]. A. Henning
were arrested Friday by Forest
Ranger c. r. Byers oand tried before
Justice Of the-Peaee Haigler on a
charge of cutting green timber in
trespass ON forest lands. They were
each fined $500.
MIR. Byers states that some people
have become very careless in regard
to what can and what cannot be done
lawfully on forest land The forest
service intends to hold everyone strict
ly accountable under the stipulations
Of the law. 1t is generally recognized
that one may take dead or down tim
Der, under permit, for his own per-
sonal use. But this does not mean that
one can take such timber and sell it
in commercial way. Before that is
done, proper arrangements must be
made with the forest service. 1t Is al
ways unlawful to cut green timber
without having made arrangements
with the forest service.
Byers states that there has been con-
siderable disregard of these provisions,
some having gone so far as to cut
green timber on forest reserve land
and recently one man cut down a gov
eminent witness tree, which is seri-
Gus offense under the law.

LIBBY SCHOOL NEWS TOLD IN
AN INTERESTING MANNER
Edited by the
JOURNALISM CLASS
Enltnrtul

Among the members of class which
was to be graduated from midwest
ern high school was girl of very
limited means. The mother Of this
senior had been facing for years the
physical wants of the family and also
occupying her place as home maker
and counselor.
When the time came for securing a
dress for graduation the girl wished
that in some way It might be possible
for her to purchase dress ready
made as the other girls were doing.
The almost constant conversation out
side the class room was of these love-
" creations which had been procured
from the leading style shops Of the
city, and many an unseen tear was
shed by the girl of this story.
The mother of the girl spent her
spare time in the evening sewing on
the material which had been chosen
for the graduation gown. And, al
though the girl still secretly longed
for the kind of dress which the other
girls would have, she was highly
pleased with the appearance of her
dress.
On the night of graduation admir-
ing glances were cast at the gowns
of the other girls, but the EXPLANATIONS
of delight were expressed because of
the lovely dress Of the girl of the
story.
Perhaps this narrative may seem to
have that fairy-tale happy ending, but
it is true-and it perhaps contains food
for thought.

Great Northern
Railway Pays Big
Sum IN Taxes
Over $1,000, 900 i'm Montana Last Year
and $143,053.l6 in Lincoln
County

1.-THE Great Northern Railway com
pany paid $2,049, 3s9 in taxes in thu
state of Montana last year." statec
James T. Mitchell while in Libby las
week THAT was $4,000 less than ths
preceding year" said Mr.. Mitchell "Ir
Lincoln county our company pait
$143, 053.16, which was SCI $4,000 less
than we paid the year preceding that
Mr.. Mitchell resides at Great Falls
and is right Of way and tax agent fol-
the Great Northern He was In the city
the latter part of the week looking into
tax matters here.
Mr.. Mitchell gave other interesting
tax statistics.
THE total amount paid by all rail
roads in Montana during the year un-
der discussion was $5,464 $780, he con-
tinued- This was 227 per cent of the
total amount of all taxes levied in the
state for that same year. OF the total
amount paid by the railroads, the
Great Northern paid 81 per cent
There has been and still Is a great
amount of discussion in the press OF
the day regarding the heavy burden
of taxes borne by the railroads. In
this connection, Mr.. Mitchell spoke
quite emphatically.
The public must realize" said Mr..
Mitchell, that the railroads must have
relief from excessive taxation. The
Great Northern has paid the first half
Of this years taxes and Of course we
hope to pay the second half but If we
do it viii la Oh borrowed money. The
company was able recently to re-fi-
nance a $43,OO0,000 bond issue that
is to mature soon but we still need
money to meet interest and taxes. In
the past it has always been our policy
to pay our taxes promptly but the ad-
verse conditions the railroads OF the
country are having to face today may
force us to change that practice to
some extent"
The Great Northern pays about %
per cent of the total taxes collected
in Lincoln county. One can realize
what it would mean to the county II
the railroad would be slow in paying
its taxes The company is watching
tax levies very closely and is insist
ent that no unnecessary expense be m
Cured by taxing bodies. Mr.. Mitchell
was looking into such matters while
here.
