ALASKA BUDGET

WASHINGTON, Jan. s. (Spe-

mission by President Roosevelt to
Congress of the budget for the fis-
cal year 1895 opportunity was given
to compare estimated Alaska ap-
preparations with those for the
current fiscal year. Yet no exact
comparison can be made for the
reason that the governments pres
ent system of bookkeeping pro-
vides that separate accounting shall
be made of regular and emergency
appropriations. Thus, while the
Alaska budget items for 1885 may
be, and in most cases, are below
those for 1884, emergency allot-
ments may swell them to much
higher figures. This is notably true
of those Alaska agencies carrying
on public works and applies also
to the Alaska Railroad, the Bureau
of Fisheries and the Office of In
dian Affairs, among others.
Only in one instance is the APP
preparation totally eliminated for
a bureau whose work has extended
over a considerable period of time

PROSPERITY IN
TWO YEARS, Gov.
TROY P REDICTS
Says Will Be Greatest in
SO Years and on an En-
tirely New Basis

within two years the United
States will be more prosperous
than at any time in the past hall
century, which is as far as my
memory serves" declared Gov. John
w. Troy, at the conclusion Of a
brief talk to the Chamber of Com
MERGE here today. He was given
an enthusiastic reception from a
capacity attendance which, stand
ing as he was introduced, applaud
ed him vigorously.
The next prosperous era which
he predicted, he said further, will
be on new basis, one in which
most of the evils OF former pros
porous epochs will be eliminated.
He paid the highest tributes to
President Roosevelt and to Secre-
tary Harold L. Ickes, Secretary of
Interior.
President, "The Big Chief
"If you hear that the brain
trust is running the Nation, don't
believe it. In Washington and
almost everywhere else it is recog-
nized that President Roosevelt is
his own brain trust The United
States is being run by the Presi-
dent of the United States. He is
the Big Chief. The Democrats
claim it and the Republicans admit
it," declared the Governor.
Concerning Secretary Ickes, who,
he said, is one of the busiest of
many busy officials in Washington,
the Governor said There was a
time when, particularly am on g
Democrats. he wasn't SO highly es-
teemed. That has passed now. He
has proved his capacity. He is
probably the greatest Secretary of
Interior the country has had with
in my time"
If any thanks are coming to
anyone for the Gastineau Channel
bridge, he added, it is tc Secretary
Ickes.
Dimond Due Credit
Alaska, asserted Gov Troy, stands
particularly well in Washington. 1t
has friends throughout the Admin
istration from the President down.
He gave most of the credit to
Delegate Dimond for Alaskan al
lotments from the various emer-
gency funds and its generous rec
ignition at Washington. He is
entitled to none credit than I am.
He is there and working tirelessly
all the time for the interests of
all Alaska. And he is getting
splendid cooperation from the de-
partments and other agencies"
Alaska, the Governor is con-
vinced, is getting and will continue
to get square deal under the
new deal"
Times are looking up over the
entire country. The copper and
lumber industries are still back
ward, but there is hope for them
in the near future.

Price Sees Roosevelt Talk
rs Sign He'll Stay Clear
Congressional Campaign
BY BYRON PRICE
Chief of Bureau, Tie Associated
Press, WashingtOn)

Politicians OF both Parties think
they have found, hidden in the
soft phrases of President Roose-
velt's address to Congress, pretty
clear sign that he means to take
no direct part in the Democratic
Congressional campaign of 1884.
1t is true he said nothing what
ever about that campaign, yet
when everything is considered, the
deduction that he has made his
decision does not appear so far
fetched as at first glance might in
dictate.
Mr.. Roosevelt did appeal directly
and repeatedly, in his speech, for
partisan support. In the well
understood language of politics
such an appeal usually implies a
promise. And no one denies that
the President knows his political
vocabulary.
Furthermore, no one supposes he
has forgotten what happened to
President Wilson in 1918 when, aft
er many similar requests for non
partisan cooperation. he issued a
statement asking for the election
of Democratic Congress.
wilson's action is rated one OF
the prize blunders of recent politi-
cal history, and is credited by
many with actually electing Re-
publican Congress because of the
resentment 1t aroused.

ministrations money measure, the
House Coinage Committee said
Great Britain forced the United
States off the Gold Standard and
the proposed two billion stabiliza-
ton fund was intended Ito pre-
vent repetition of this experience. !"
The proposed Sterilization fund
was termed the most ingenious in
strument ever developed in mon
etary system as it is equally effect
i've in attack as in defense. The
reason FOR it's establishment In
this case is to defend the Ameri-

DIssECTING THE ADDRESS

Now that Washington has had
time to study the Roosevelt adj
dress under the microscope, it has
found also that it was politically
revealing in several other ways.
The opening day Of Congress saw
the Republican organization hest
tant whether to go along or boldly
attack. After much private consul
tation, it was decided to wait and
see exactly what program the Pres
ident would offer. The address it
self took the wind out of that plan,
for it offered no specific plan at
all, and contained little that any
one could attack.
When the later specific recon-
mendations began to come in, start
ing with the Budget, the attacks
began. But they were not so much
against the Roosevelt program as
a whole as against isolated por-
tons of it.
Clearly, Mr.. Roosevelt acted with
a deliberate method. BY presenting
his program piecemeal he has min
imized the likelihood that the early
weeks Of the session will develop
anything like a concerted, unified
assault ON the whole group OF new
projects he has in mind.
In large degree he has kept to
himself the privilege of debating
how and when and on what terms
the coming controversy-whatever
it may amount to-shall be waged.

BOISE, Idaho, August 16.-Hopes
of Idaho State officers, all Democrats,
to keep their positions for two more
years rose today as results of the party
primary showed all but one of them
had been renominated.
Heading the ticket was Gov. c. Ben
Ross, the first chief executive of the
State to seek third term. He over
came the challenge of two opponents
and in the November election will face
Frank L. Stephan, Twin Falls, the
Republican nominee.
Returns from 554 of 819 precincts
in the State gave Ross 27,029 votes
Frank Martin, 1856, and Asher B
Wilson, 1913. In the Republican pri-
mary Stephan received 14,732 votes
from the same number of precincts
Jerry Wesley Holden, 9,035, and H. F.
Fait, 3,341.
Representative Compton I. White
of the first Idaho district was renomi-
mated by the Democrats and will op-
pose Burton L. French, Moscow, the
Republican nominee. French, who
was unoppoSed, represented the dis
trict in Congress for many years until
defeated in 1892.
D. Worth Clark, 3o-year-old attor-
ney, overcame six opponents in the
second district Democratic race for

the death of T. c. Coffin.
A close race between two contenders

Stains identified by police as blood
leading from the automobile into the
woods, indicated that one of the men
had been shot by the guards at the
prison farm, SO miles from the peni-
tentiary. who fired at the fast-moving

Finds 1t Knocked.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Recent primary results today seemed
J to please leaders of both parties.
Postmaster General Farley said
they show "the new deal is increas-
ingly popular with the people"
Senator Hastings, Republican cam
paign spokesman, contended the new
deal has not been faring so we'll"
Farley, chairman of the Democratic
National Committee, and Hastings, CO.
chairman of the Republican Sena-
torial- Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, expressed their views in formal
statements
Sees Hard Knocks"
Hastings said the new deal' had
taken a couple of hard knocks" in
recent primaries, citing the victory OF
Vic Donohey, former Governor, over
Charles West, the administration can
didate, for Ohio's Democratic senate
| rial nomination, and the defeat in
West Virginia of Glen Shaver, backed
by Farley, at the hands of Rush Holt
| for the Senate nomination.
Farley, however, said:
with a total of 26 States having
held their primaries, accounting for
263 out of 435 members, or more than
60 per cent of the entire House mem
bership, the results justify completely
the feeling that the new deal is in
creasingly popular with the people Of
the country"
"The Democratic national organiza-
tion is more than satisfied with the
results of Tuesdays primaries in Ohio,
Nebraska, Arkansas and Idaho"
viii Welcome Donahey.
He added the national committee
was looking forward to welcoming
Senator Donahey" as the successor to
Senator Fess, Republican, of Ohio, and
will greet with cheers the advent Of
Edward R. Burke of Nebraska" who
defeated Charles Bryan for the sena-
torial nomination in that State.
Hastings contended the administra-
ton was attempting to build a
Roosevelt party in place of the
Democratic party. He cited President
Roosevelt's recent mention of Senator
La Toilette. Republican. of Wisconsin,
in his Wisconsin speech, together with
administration support previously be-
slowed on Senator johnson, Repub-
lican, of California.
Thus far, so far as records go, no
Democratic candidates for the Senate
or House who said he opposed Roose-
veltian policies has been named.
G. o. p. Has Little Trouble.
On the other hand, the Republi-
cans have had little difficulty in get
ting the voters to approve senatorial
and House candidates who ran on
anti-"new deal" platforms. Fess is
an example So is Simmons, Senator
Reed of Pennsylvania, Senator Hat
field of West Virginia and quite a few
others.
All four States choose gubernatorial
nominees Tuesday. Gov. j. M. Fut-
rell, Democrat, was renamed in
Arkansas, and his election is con-
ceded.
Martin L. Davey, tree surgeon, ap-
parently is the Democratic choice in
Ohio. With only % precincts missing,
he held good lead over his nearest
opponent.
Clarence J. Brown had a 100000
lead for the Republican gubernatorial
nomination with 81 precincts out.
Gov. Ben c. Ross of Idaho was as
sured the Democratic nomination for
third term. He will be opposed by
Frank L. Stephan, former Repub-
lican State attorney general.
