ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION “BUDGET IN NAME ONLY.” That is the manner in which Gov. Parks last ‘Wednes in his address to the Legislature veferred to the present Territorial budget system. The cur-, rent “budg submifted to the Legislature by Treas- urer Walstein G. Smith is substantial proof that the Governor's description was most apt. However, it is not to be concluded hastily that the responsi- bility is Mr. Smith’s. He is charged with preparing and submitting a biennial budget to the Legislature, but he is directed by statute as to the method to be followed. Consequently the inherent defects, which are admitted by everyone, arise from inade- quate legiSlative enactment and not upon an im- perfect performance of official duty in this instance. A perusal of the budget just submitted is guf- ficient to indicate its futility so far as aiding or guiding the Legislature in the matter of ‘naking appropriations is concerned. Of the more than two and one-half milions of dollars recommended for the various governmental activities for the next two years, not one cent has been proved through jus- tification. That is not to say that none of it could be justified. Obviously a major portion could be. But the test of a budget rests upon its effective- ness in distinguishing between justifiable and un- justifiable expenditures, Alaska's existing budget requirements are valueless in that respect. islature that it abolish the system now in vogue and replace it with one that will be effective. And the budget recommendations now before the law- makers furnish convincing evidence of the wisdom of adopting his suggestion. Mr. Smith’s requests for appropriations, based on unsupported estimates from the several de- p.tments, aggregate $2,572,451.36. The anticipated revenue for the biennium is $1,890,390, which is $682,- 061.36 less than the desired grants of money. In the treasury valuts is the sum of $596,233.67, which is, it should be noted carefully, $370,785.68 less than the surplus two years ago. It is evident that the trasury faces a deficit if all appropriations sought are allowed, that is, unless material tax increases The general disposition, we believe, is to maintain the present tax ‘levels the Governor has recommended are made. as RVED. SALARY RAISE D. The passage by Congress and its approval by President Hoover of a measure raising the salaries of the Governor of Alaska from $7,000 to $10,000 and of Secretary of Alaska from $3,500 to $5,600 annually, was a commendable action. It will be heartily endorsed by the rank and file of Alaskans whn were grieved recently when the House, after approving a smaller increase for the latter officer, defeated a Senate bill giving the Governor the i se finally authorized. To the Senate must be given the credit for restoring the originally proposed boost to the Secretary and for resurrecting the measure for the Governor which the House had killed. It amended the House bill affecting the — WHAT REGULARITY DOES i A little water now and then keeps [ ife in a flower, but if watered regularly ! it abounds in living strength with great- { er beauty and fragrance. ept Sunday by _the|3C The Governor very properly has suggested to the Leg-' ‘Secretary in two respects: It restored the Secre- "mry's salary provision to $5,600 and added a clause In that manner it passed ‘lo cover the Governor. the Senate and the House then approved the Sen- ts. | The increases are deserved. jand Secretary represent not only the Federal Gov- ernment here, but also are officers. ‘Their duties are many and similar officers in other Territories and possessions of the United States. The happy termination of the matter is wholly gratifying, and the present encum- bents of the two offices gained friends rather than, lost them by the surprising attitude taken by Al- aska's Delegate in Congress who, while proclaiming himself “neutral,” spitefully attacked Gov. in debate over the Senate bill which sought to pay him the higher salary. Reports from the National Capital intimate the Wickersham Commission may have to close shop on account of lack of funds and without reporting on crime conditions in the country. However, we wont miss it for a while as we have only reached the tenth chapter in its Prohibition Report and haven't been able to pick the murderer yet. The Methodist Board of Temperance, etc., in its Clipsheet publicity proclaims the acquittal of Bishop Cannon as a triumph of virtue and truth. But we still remain in igonrance as to what the Bishop wasn't guilty of. It's gratifying to hear that Ghandi has signed a truce. Think of what a situation the censors would have been in, had the Mahatma decided to give his loin cloth for his country. Corn Pone and Potlicker. (New York World.) Having no immediate political controversy at hand to engage his superabundant energies, Gov- ernor Long of Louisiana has revived a dispute of long standing as to the proper etiquette to be ob- served in the eating of corn pone and potlicker. There are those who say that the prone should be crumbled into the liquid, but the Governor in- sists that it should be “dunked,” and he has taken the Atlanta Constitution to task for its assertion that corn bread which can be “dunked” is not the genuine pone but some inferior substitute. To many Eastern city dwellers all this is just so much jargon, but those who have lived close to the soil in that wide area below the Potomac and Ohio Rivers will appreciate the importance of the discussion. Potlicker is something for which no ordinary definition is adequate. Marse Henry Watterson undertook many years ago to tell what it is, after he had been angered by some tourist's slighting description of it as “houn’ dawg's am- brosia,” and he needed a column of his newspaper for the purpose. When one says that it is the by-product of a mess of greens boiled with a piece of pork or a hog jowl, one does not define it at all, for no definition can portray the subtle flavor imparted to the already savory juices by the smoke of slowly burning hickory sticks piled under the pot. Potlicker is to be tasted and enjoyed, but not to be defined. Of course, the only fit accompaniment for such a treat is corn prone. Corn-meal dumplings, boiled in the pot with the licker, are sometimes offered for the sake of variety, but they are too heavy for a constant diet. But how shall the pone be eaten —crumbled into the licker or “dunked” in whole? That point, it seems to us, is as immaterial as the dispute over the proper way to eat asparagus which keeps cropping up from time to time outside the potlicker belt. Both ways do very well; it all depends on one's disposition. One clear thing is that no one can ever make the charge that the Wickersham Commission had a single track mind.—((Philadelphia Inquirer.) A special session of Congress will be a piece of soggy pie on an already overloaded national stom- ach.—(Detroit Free Press.) As slow as the American Congress would make a pretty good simile, only there is nothing else that slow.—(Macon, Ga., Telegraph.) Charlotte, N. C., in 1930 had 34 homicides, equivalent to 41.6 per 100,000 population, as compared to Chicago’s rate of 14.5 per 100,000. . | Second Hand Guns Rought and Sold New Guns and Ammunition [ | SEE BIG VAN | THE GUN MAN | Opposite Coliseum Theitre Tue JuNEAU LAUNDRY Franklin Street, between Front and Second Streets It is the regular additions to one’s saving fund that make it grow.
