Seattle Times)


 Another party of United States senators has just started for Alaska. Other senators and representa- tives, too have taken this trip in summers past but Senators Frazier, Thomas and Shpstead have the mpershable distinction of being first to make the start from Seattle's newly misnamed Alaskan Way The pretext for this senatorial excursion to nvest gate reports of mstreament of Alaska natives There has to be a pretext for every such excursion by self organized committee of Congress. The reports of Alaskas governor, of Alaska's delegate to Con- gress of the multitude of federal agents in Alaska simply can't be accepted truthful. Nothing can be done until congressman have visited Alaska in person. Nothing much is done anyway.
 We've never heard of a senator or representa- tive who was reluctant to make the Alaska trip in summer time, who seriously objected to any in- committee assignment that would give him a pleasant vacation at government expense But senators and representatives alike accept these cheer ful assignments only in the years when they are not candidates for reelection. NeSSrs. Frazier Thomas and Shipstead, for example probably will be home in time to vote but have literally nothing to do until Congress meets next winter Ordinary of travel are spurned; the Coast Guard cutter Chelan is communicated for their transportation delight ful yachting trip Nothing is too good for our over burdened lawmakers when the arrangements are left in their own hands.

MORE D. c. POLICE
IN TRAFFIC URGED
Carpenter Bases Opinion on
Reports From so Cities
With Shortages.
BY JAMES e. CHINN.

Chairman Carpenter of the special
subcommittee of the House District
Committee studying Washington's
traffic situation expressed the opinion
today an insufficient number Of po-
licemen are assigned to trafic duty.
In preparation for the traffic sur
vey, Carpenter revealed, he wrote to
police officials in so large cities for
q report showing the total number of
officers on each force and the per-
centage assigned exclusively to traf1c
duty. Replies received thus far, he
said, indicate in each instance too
few officers are assigned to traffic.
"I believe If we really intend to
solve the trafic problem and drive
death from the streets Of our cities, !"
he declared, 70 larger percentage OF
policemen will have to be detailed to
trafic work. Personally. cannot
understand why this has not been
done"
Mai. Ernest w. Brown, superin-
tendent of police, has urged a large
increase in his force for the last several
years so additional men could be de-
tailed to traffic duty. His pleas, how
ever, have been persistently ignored.
An increase Of 141 officers was sought
by Mai. Brown two years ago. The
appropriation act for the 1896 fiscal
year allowed only 80, a number sufi-
cient to I'LL then existing vacancies.
In his budget estimates for the coming
fiscal year, the police superintendent
asked for 139 additional officers. The
budget now before the House Subcom-
mittee on Appropriations will provide
only four additional officers.
Carpenter will resume hearings on
the traffic situation tomorrow at 10
am. Traffic Director william A. Van
Duzer will be recalled to the witness
stand to complete his testimony.
Brown will follow.
A proposal that all civic organiza-
tions interested in District traffic prob
lens draw up a program at joint
meeting was made by Carpenter last
night at q session of the Advisory
Board of the keystone Automobile
Club in the Willard Hotel.
If the Keystone and District Motor
Clubs, the Board Of Trade and the
Federation of Citizens Associations
could agree on q program at . joint
meeting, Carpenter explained, the
subcommittee could consider it ct the
hearings.

Surprised by the action of the Com

today she did not take their objec-
ton seriously"
Mrs. Norton pointed out she had

their action were correct.
Another group of Commissioners
turned down a similar bill once be-
fore, but it was passed by the House, !"
declared Mrs. Norton. Regardless of
the action of the present Board of
Commissioners, propose to hold pub
lie hearings on the new bill and If
the people of the District really want

Will assist them to get it,"
Mrs. Norton's bill would legalize
racing under the pari-mutuel system
and create a racing board to control
