G. o. P. TRIAL BALLOONS.

Political prognosticators who looking into the crystal ball for glimpse of what the Republican Party may offer in 1886 report that they in the fore ranks of Presidential timber possibilities Frank Knox Chicago business man and editor; Governor Alfred M Landon Of Kansas; Senator Vandenberg of Michigan and Senator Dickinson of Iowa. The forecasts, be readily seen are based Middle West prospects but it is the less noteworthy that the name of former President Herbert Hoover is absent.
 From various sources it has seeped out from expected to issue a statement emulating his silent predecessor who did not choose to run, but there also is very good possibility that he will do no such thing. The fact is that small the Re- publican Party is at the present writing, Herbert Hoover is still it's accepted leader. Should be come out in the open and announce that he is not to be a candidate in 1886 it would eliminate whatever G. O. P. and leave the party without head until such time as a candidate is chosen. Thus for some months to it is not likely that MT Hoover will make any definite statements way the other. Sitting he is natural successor to the throne of the minority party he could well be drafted if it developed the wind blowing in the right drec- tion at the Republican convention and We have a would not have the capacity to say no. In the meantime i. is evident the G. O. p lis scouting around testing the sentiment of Middle West farmers with Grass Rooters from their own districts.

AN INTERESTING TREND.

Statistics usually dull things, but an interest ing comparison is revealed in museum attendance here and abroad Reports of the British National Art-Collecticns Fund reveal that attendance al museums in London has fallen off noticeably n recent years. Fewer people visiting the Ma ticnal and Tate galleries, the Victoria and Albert muceum and the Wallace collection than since 1928 Only one, a science museum. shows gain.
 Curously enough in this country the trend is just the opposite Here museums and art galleries report greater number of visitors than ever before At our own Territorial museum here in Juneau there is a constant flow of visitors, especially with the arrival of a large number of tourists every ship Every vessel brings of them from all parts of the world.
 There may be no accurate answer to why the swing is toward such things in this country while the Continent notices falling off but the probable reason for the large attendance at the museum in the Federal and Territorial Building is that 1t is art and its historical display is diff ferent than any found elsewhere.

Useless Publicity.
Cincinnati Enouirer.l


 Although Congress has repealed the so-called pink slip" provision calling for publicity of income tax returns, there remains a danger that un- warranted and useless publicity will be given to similar figures Another section of the law u48-D) requires the Secretary of the Treasury to submit to Congress annual report of the names Of and amounts paid to, each officer and employee of the paying corporation, where the total compen- sation exceeds $15000 Such reports do not have to be published. but ordinarily they published As things stand today, it will depend the de- ciions Of the Clerk of the House and the Secretary of the Senate
 Such list this would have value from the standpoint of enforcing the laws It is not necessary to make it public a basis for future legislation. It is not needed in any branch of the Government. At the best the report will be useless. But actually it will be worse than useless It provides to snoopers, backmaiers and kidnapers very convenient list of prospects" in much more useful form than the pink slips would have been. It also represents costly investment in research on the basis of confidential statistics which would be available free as mailing list to any company which is merchandising a quality product.
 The purpose of the income tax law is to raise revenue. The purpose is not to collect mischevous comes, for the of parasites who would live by preying useful members of society. If the mem bers of Congress have clear understanding of this problem, they will amend the law to allow pub lcation of such lists only when that is specifically asked for in particular by joint resolution of Congress.

NOT A BAD PICTURE.

National spending in effort to rehablitate the entire country well keep the normal wheels ot government going has been the cause for great Wailing on the part of those who would put dollars and cents before humanity and who pass up no opportunity to crack down the present Admin istration True public spending has been part of the program but figures of the Treasury Department at the end of June, close of the fiscal year. reveal that the outays have been actually less than antici- pated and are considerable under a year ago
 Emergency spending, that is other than general expenditure for upkeep of government agencies to- tailed S3555,000,000 at the end of the fiscal year compared with S3908 100000 last year The Presi- dent had estimated it at s5,259 GOO All expendi- lures the figures reveal $1323 100000 less than both the President and Budget Bureau had expected While expenses continued to exceed revenues the deficit this year approximately $4O0O0Oo00 under a year ago.
 It is apparent that the picture is not half as bad as many would lead us to believe and balanced against the gain that has been made toward bring ing back national recovery at the same time rescu- ing millions from want and suffering it is especially bright

Sour Grapes Grow Sweet.
(Kansas City Times)

To Americans who have grown accustomed to the air of superiority with which certain Europeans used to denounce vulgar worship" of mere size and speed it is enlighening to note the enthusiasm with which those Europeans today are boast ing about the Nomandie and the Queen Mary. At the moment, it seems France has the largest and fastest passenger vessel on the And already Great Britain is experiencing, by way of anticipa- tion, the satisfaction of possessing even larger and perhaps faster ship, as the Queen Mary hears completion
 To be sure, there is slight inconsistency be- tween the great contempt which the French and British expressed for size few years ago and their present enjoyment of it. But patriotic Briton admitted recently, We so tired of trying to despse your American achievements you can't imagine what relief it is that something British will be the biggest in the world, for change, and we won't have to hide our envy
 So it appears that mechanical and scientific progress not to be dismissed vulgar oStenta- ton after all, even if in this case, the result may raise some doubts concerning the soundness of it's economy.
