There is a point to reach which would be beyond the capacity of the people to endure, and if that point is ever reach- ed terrific will be the disaster. Tl is no wonder that President Coolidge has been calling upon the States and lesser political units to cut down public expenditures and taxation. It is greatly needed.

Congress dies in less than one month. Advice to Representatives. (New York Times.) When resigning his seat in the House to go to the Senate, in order to fill out the unexpired term of the late Senator Willis, Mr. Burton of lOhio a little while ago made a friendly farewell address to the Representatives. He was entitled to do so by his own long service in the House, though this had before been broken by one term in the Senate. His attitude was that of a veteran giving useful advice to those whom he was leav- ing behind. One thing he strongly urged the House not {to do. and that is increase its own ‘membership. In Mr. Burton’s opinion, the enlargement of the number of Representatives from .something like 350, when he was first elected to the House, to time partner of Elihu Root, former Secretary of|nearly 100 more at present, of itself tended to War and present Govenor-General of the Philip-|diminish the prestige cf the lower chamber.

He was a delegate at large| to the New York Constitutional Convention in 1915, where he learned to know and admire Alfred E. Smith. FEarlier in life he was U. Attorney for the New York City distric Mr. Stimson is big enough for any office that he might be chosen to fill. He is a pro- found scholar, hasa broad viewpoint, and is a man of the very highest type and attainments. He got his Bachelor of Arts degree at Yale and his| Master of Arts and law degrees at Harvard. His| public service, such as he has rendered, has been of a very superior character Mr. Stimson would add to the stature of any Cabinet to which he might be chosen. Not only is he fitted in every way for high office, but he looks like a statesman. He is 62, bat ap- pears younger and seems to be in perfect health and ph *al condition, He is such a man as one would expect Herbert Hoover to call ihte,hi Cabjnet. % 48 JUDGE BOYLE TO BE RETAINED. The anncuncement that Judge Harding will retain Judge Frank A. Boyle as United States Commissioner at Juneau has been received with unstinted pleasure by the people of this section: Judge Boyle has served as Commissioner for more than two years with' marked efficiency and the utmost fidelity. He is eminently qualified as a lawyer and in natural ability and discriminating judgment for the position. He is a good lawyer and has an abundance of common sense and unswerving integrity. Modest, unassuming, kind and courteous, Judge Boyle makeés an ideal public servant. As Receiver and Register of the Land Office and as United States Commissioner and as a citizen, Judge Boyle has made an enviable record in Junean. We have no citizen who occupies a place closer to the hearts of the people of this com- munity. WHOSE OX, AGAIN? ‘When Representative Grant M. Hud- son (Rep., Mich.) defended. the “life- for-pint” law in the House and scored the Mrs. Miller record, J. C. Schaefer (Rep., Wis.,) compared this record with the “moral lapses” of Sebastian Krege, who contributed $500,000 to the Anti- Salocn League to reform American youth. —(Dubuque, Ia., American Tribune.) The professional Reformers are a lot like Elmer Gantry. With them Reform is meant for the enemy’s camp not for their own crowd. NATION OF TAXPAYERS. Taxes totaling $9.074,000,000 were collected by the Federal, State and local governments in the United States during the fiscal year ended in 1927, the greatest amount for any one year in the history of the country up to that time, according to a report of the Tax Division of the National Industrial Conference Board. The amount is said also to be the greatest total of taxes collected in any one country in any one year in the world's history, although the relative tax burden per capita of population, or measured as proportional to national income, is considerably higher in many foreigm countries, notably Great Britain and Germany, than in the United States. Estimates made by the Confererice Board in- dicate that taxes collected in the United States in the fiscal year ended in 1928 were still greater than in 1927, fotaling approximately $9,- 169,000,000, but complete figures for that year are not yet available. The Nation’s tax bill has increased steadily since 1923, when $7,234,000,000 was collected; but the previous peak of tax collections was in 1921, when $8,838,000,000 was raised, reflecting heayy Federal expenditures for war purposes. All the increase since 1923, however, is attributed to growing levies cf State and local governments, the Federal levies having shown an almost steady " decline, Taxes in the fiscal year ended in 1927 were almost 12 per cent. of the national income. It is clear that Americans are fast becoming, though they have not yet achieved that disnnclion,, the severest taxed people the world has ever seep. He also exhorted the Representatives to culti- vate independence and industry in their legisla- | tive activities. Especially where no direct issue between the parties is concerned, it is highly desirable, Mr. Burton believes, that the best |individual judgment of the members should be expressed in their votes on non-contentious meac- ur He likewise expressed the Hope that the separate Representatives would each seek to con- centrate himself upon one or two subjects of public interest, thus develping the special com- petence and mastery which it is so important to be able to place at the disposal of the House when large questions are under debate. Mr. Burton requested that no personal con- gratulaticn should be extended to him or com- the hearty applause with which his closing words were greeted was evidence enough of his popular- ity and of the respect in which he is generally | held. o8 Technical Co-Operation. (Engineering and Mining Journai.) Annual reports of British mning companies that have recently reached this office indicate a commendable liberality in the dissemination of technical details of operation that bodes well for an extension of international copperation already established in the world of science. Official state- ments from the Burma Corporation, Mount LyeH Mining & Railway, Frontino & Bolivia, and Broken Hill South are outstanding examples of this tendency. Likewise, in recent months En- gineering and Mining Journal has noted a wel- come change in the policy of.St. John del Rey, the Brazilian gold producer, always considered as the last word in secretiveness in technical mat- ters. This growing tendency represents nothing revolutionary. In faet, it is the beginning of a change long overdue. High standards of en- gineering practice are invariably attributable to a generous spirit of technical co-operation. Fail- ure of mining companies to adopt so open-minded a policy has been responsible to a large extent for the unsatisfactory conditions prevailing in sev- eral mining districts throughout the world. Grati- fying is the realization that secrecy is being discarded and that contributions to the mod- ernization of engineering practice everywhere are being considered a duty as well as a privilege. Climate Mastered. (Seward Gateway.) i Possibly no railroad system in the world en- Jjoys the peculiar distinction which adheres to the farthest north trunk line—that of having specialists detailed in every bramch to deal with conditions peculiar to climate. This is proven in the fact that while railroads in the States view a zero zephyr and a foot of snow with panic, the railroaders of Alaska accept the ch. as allenge and shove trains through on schedule, = One-of Denver's leading citizens has offered a reward of $25,000 to anybody who can estab- lish communication with any planet. Off-hand one would say that the Denverite is not lak!né unnecessary risks with his m — o oney.
