No longer would the poll of government and the selection of public servants be rewards for those who might develop the strongest pull at Washington The Democratic idea is to give Alaska Teal home rule. And that is the only way to dispos of the autocracy of bureaucratic control. As long as Alaska has the limited form of government | that it is now operating under the personnel of the public service is a mattéer of small amount. | Give the people the power to govern and publir! servants will have to answer to them for their et Stewnrdship instead of l‘epurth\F to distant chiefs It would make the people sovereign rather than Washington-made officials. The situation in Alaska is only an exaggerated | case of the mischievious centralization of author- ity in Washington that has been in progress | throughout the country for more than a quarter of a century, and the Demogratic platform not only stands for home rule“in the Territory but for State Rights in the Nation. y The endorsement of Gov. Smith for the Presi- dential nomination is in exact accord with the attitude of Alaska Democrats toward govern- ment. The platform truly characterizes Gov. Smith as a “stalwart champign of State Rights and virile tribune of fundamental Democracy and authentic Democratic traditions.” And it pro- . ceeds just as truly: Gov. 'Smith's remarkable career as Chief Executive of the Empire State, his transcendant ability, unfailing courage and rugged honesty haye been proved through long public service and fine Democratic leadership, They have mark- ed him as the outstanding public char- acter in the Nation and made of his name an inspiration to all patriotic and progressive Americans, Constructively, the Democratic platform is thoroughly progressive. Pledging a square deal to both labor and capital employed in the Ter- ritory, it bids welcome and co-operation to those that might come here for development purposes, and it urges continued development of the public service. It advoeates aid to prospectors, more money for schools, continuation of road building, % improved mail service, the use by the Government of Alaska products, - the operation and extension of the Alaska Railroad, improvement of harbors and water-ways, encouragement of airplane serv- ice, agriculture, fur farming, ete. g It is a forwurd-looking, sound and consistent platform, close act other ob; discrimination ite does to organize counties be ftrans- e NEW YORK’'S GOVERNMENTAL COST. New York City, in 1827, spent !1,‘050,1:‘5,- 266 in administering municipal government, the largest sum in the histgry of the city. This cost * ‘was approximately equal the cost of the entire Na- tional Government of Italy which has a popula- ~ tion of 40,000,000 as compared to New York’s 5,900,000. For current expenses, pgrmanent im- provements, State taxes and interest on and re- demption of debts, it paid out $§622,340,266 which, at the current rate of exchange, is almost twice the budget of the Belgian Government. The gross financial turnover for the year | $2,408,000,000, * gross receipts, $1,327.682 and gross disbursements §1,346,791,006. ~_ Some of the items of expenditure were: Sal- \afies and wages, $273,211,535; education, §$126,- G ,oog,- police sand fire protection, $70,450,000; . charity, $24,841,066; health service and water Y , $63,728,000; pensions, $16,800,000. The city’s cial transactions involved the super- on of some 15,000 separate accounts, registra- n of 4,540 new contracts, registration of 187,- | youchers, 183,230 warrants, making pay- , in addition, 8,007,000, checks drawn by the 1. pay division, 25,620 checks returning al 8 rity deposits and 28,625 checks drawn deem and pay interest on bonds. ‘f“ statement of the City Comp- al outstanding debt of the was ;nd Class | 7.497.65 the is redecmable by balance SAVINGS DEPOSITORS. end of the fis in was 1ker ciation companies, private State hanks.

The halibut fishermen and others who pioneer the waters of the North Pacific have asked little but have been willing to chance many hazards in the pride of their dangerous calling. A safe haven for these little deep-sea craft, and sturdy crews, in Resurrection Bay is now almost a certainty; and in behalf of fishermen and citizens of Seward, thanks are hereby extend- ed to the U. S. Army Enginers for visioning the needs of this practical project and for their desire for quick action in instituting the work. With line of industry. local shelter with the Army Engine Deportation for Aliens. (Philadelphia Ledger.) Federal prosecutors from severai of the larger cities are reported to pe conferring with Depart- ment of Labor officials at Washington with a view to concerted measures for the deportation of alien gangsters and gunmen. Light has re- cently been thrown on the activities of these desperadoes in their role, not only as perpetrators of crimes of violence, but as defeaters of the ends of justice through the killing or intimidation of witnesses for the State. They have been par- ticularly active in this respect in Chicago, where they also have taken a criminal part in labor disputes. As the National Crime Commission has shown, the prevalence of crime in this country is not to be attributed chiefly to foreigners, but among them are some of the most ingenious and powerful forces of evil. A way should be found to round up more of these undesirables and ship them back to Kurope, where the problem of dealing with criminals, especially in England, has been more effectively solved than it has been here.
