CIR SAMUEL HOARE, British
- first lord of admiralty, defends
his $500, 900, 900 naval plan and urges
the United States to build right
along with England-we are broth
ers.; Already there is a yell over
here that England is, as usual, try
ing to get us to pull her chestnuts
out of the fire. But that's some
thing for the editorial page.
Sir Samuel, with his high-pitched
nasal voice, his long, sharp peda-
gogue's nose, his CLASSY eye, and
his way of laying things on the line,
is always good copy for the report
ers.
simultaneously, he broke the il
lustrious and inquisitive nose, fig
ure-skating, and was eased out as
foreign minister because he was
too realistic about Ethiopia. His
comeback was amazing in its swift
ness. In few months, he headed
the admiralty, and articulate and
dominant tory England had swung
to his view on Ethiopia.
His goldsmith ancestors founded
We Olde Golden Bottel bank in the
reign of Charles I. It is still owned
by five Hoares, with one of them
sleeping on the premises every
night as their ancient charter re-
quires. Sir Samuel, it is believed,
never sleeps, with an eye never
closed on the empire where the sun
never sets.

SUBSTITUTE FOR
HOLE CARE PLAN.
Public Systems Abroad
Fail, They Say

Continuing opposition to the
HoLC group medical plan. the
District Medical Society, in a
statement last night, declared:
ut was shown that, without
exception, the establishment of
public systems Of medical prac-
tice in foreign countries has led
to the immediate and frequently
disastrous decline of medicine"
SUBSTITUTE DEBATED
With this thought in mind, the
society, in a closed meeting, dis
cussed ways and means of com.
batting the group plan with a new
plan to be operated by the physi.
clans.
In this program, they have re-
ceived the support of the Amer
ican Medical Association. DR..
Arthur Hooe and DR.. F. x. Nc
Govern, sent to Chicago to confer
WIN A. M. A. Officials, reported
the parent organization behind
the local society.
PROCEDURE DISCLOSED
In the statement issued after the
meeting, the society reported:
The single man or woman
who makes $1,500 a year does
not desire to class himself as
unable to pay anything at all
for medical service, but on the
other hand, he is unable to pay
the full costs of medical care.
Realizing the necessity for a
solution of this problem, the
Medical Society appointed the
committee to lay the matter be-
fore the American Medical Asso-
ciation."

President Sends Special
Message to Congress
on Subject

WASHINGTON, Nov. 30.-Presi
dent Roosevelt today asked Con-
gress to reduce greatly the Govern
ment's immediate financial outlay
for aiding states in highway con-
struction, asserting that definite
steps are necessary in order to bal
ance the budget"
The President proposed, in his
special message delivered to Con-
gress today, cancellation of the
$214,000,0o0 apportionment author
lied for distribution among the
states during the 1889 fiscal year
and spreading over the next two
fiscal years, $2o0,000,000 appropria-
ton, the balance authorized for the
present fiscal year and then limit
$l25, 100000 annually on all public
roads for and after the 1910 fiscal
year
The President asks for a revis-
ion of the Federal Aid and High
way law to eliminate requirement
of the Federal government to APP
portion to the various states an an
nual amount authorized for an APP
preparation.
AS soon as the Senate Clerk had
finished reauing the message, Sem
ator Hayden asserted that Congress
should not repudiate ''contractoral
obligation"
Senator Hayden referred specifi-
cally to that part Of the Presidents
message suggesting Congress cancel
the $214,O0O,00o item for road aid
for the fiscal year beginning next
July. He said many states had
mapped their road program for two
years when the Legislatures met
last year.

GOVERNOR TROY
SAYS BUSINESS
is ON UPSW|NC
Chief Executive, Back from
Trip, Reports Roosevelt
Sentiment Strong as Ever

After an absence of several weeks
which were spent resting and va
cationing in the south, Gov. John
w. Troy returned to Juneau today
aboard the Yukon-and would
have been back a week earlier had
it not been for the cancellation OF
the Alaskas sailing last week due
to the strike.
While the war condition in the
Orient has impaired the lumber
market in the northwest, and that
has slowed up business somewhat,
the feeling seems to me to be that
there is nothing at which to be
alarmed regarding business condi-
tions," the Governor said today.
IF it were not for the uncertain
ty of the labor situation, things
would be better.
However, no one expects a pro-
tracted depression, and the upswing
is already here.
in politics speculation will con-
tinue to be rife until the regular
session of Congress gets under way
but it seems to me that the Ad-
ministration is in full command of
the political situation and that
President Roosevelt is as popular as
ever throughout the States.
His great popularity in the
northwest was indicated everywhere
by the ovations accorded him on his
trip which he had completed short
ly before we went south. When we
arrived in Seattle people were still
talking about the demonstrations
in his honor where ever he went
Postmaster General Farley, who was
in Seattle while 1 was there, met
with a fine reception"
Mrs Robert Bender, who made
the trip south with her father, also
returned on the Yukon.
