ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TC BE LARGER | THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. NEW BUDGET BILL. Senator Dimond’s bill providing for a real Terri- torial budget ought to become a law. If the affairs of the Territory are to be placed firmly on a sound base the Legislature ought to have at hand when it meets a comprehensive and authentic estimate of the revenue needs of the various Territorial depart- ments and the probable income that would be avail- able to meet those needs. Under such circumstances it would be easier for the Legislature to make appro- pripriations balance with treasury expectations. The budget system, long in use in Great Britain and elsewhere, is the approved method of making in- come and outgo balance. Experts in government ev- erywhere favor it. Wherever it has been accepted improved conditions have followed. This system would not prevent the Legislature {Franklin P.

In the past year the supply of monetary gold in the United States has been increased by some 1$280,000,000. Our supply came from Argentina, Brazil, Japan and other countries; and only heavy purchases by the Federal Reserve in support of stetling exchange have prevented our drawing gold from England as well. The “easy money” policy of the Federal Reserve lin 1921 succeeded in turning the tide, and dimin- |ishing our excessive gold stocks. This year, des- pite unprecedented money ease, the supply con- itinues to increase. And there is yet no sign that the flood can be stemmed. The remedy is not, as J. F. Darling, Director from cutting down or increasing any item in the of the great English Midland Bank suggested the budget or from adding or taking away items. The budget system has been recommended by Gov. Parks and other chief executives of the Terri- tory and is the only thing that we know of that §; 9 would give the Legislature & chance to work intelli- | o) 3™ ) nag 600 000, gently and do its best for the Territory and n.u‘aoo,ooo from 1929, concerned. REPEALING THE BONE DRY LAW. lfirst six months. The passage of the bill [ repealing the Alaska |aproad, made it |remonetization of silver. Perhaps the most effective |remedy would be a renewal of foreign borrowing in lthe United States, which would involve export of | gold. | Foreign borrowing an increase of $380,- foreign borrowing in the last six months of 1930 i totalled only $280,000,000, against $808,000,000 in_the Unsettlement in the bond mar- combined with political ket here, impossible for foreign countries Bone Dry Law by the House of Representatives in need of new financing to borrow on reasonable was timely and sensible. It was in accordance with the demands of justice. The act of the House‘ has no conection with the enforcement of the Eigh- teenth Amendment or the Volstead Act. They will be in effect in Alaska whether the repeal bill be- | comes a part of the statutes of the Territory or not and they will be enforced by the same officers who have had charge of Prohibition enforcement in the past. | The situation is not at all similar to that in| those States which have State enforcement laws. The State enforcement laws authorize State police terms. With current low money rates, market, and political stabilization |tant. Probably not until that time will the country | be relieved of its burdensome oversupply of gold. Mayor Walker. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) Mayor Walker returns fram his vacation to New authorities and courts to enforce the Volstead Act|York in serious and chastened mood. He warns his just as if the latter were a State law. When those aids that they must testify or lose their jobs. He laws are repealed the effect is to make the Federal|¥ill he says, defend no one and will tolerate no Government the sole Prohibition enforcement author- ity. In Alaska both the Volstead Law and the Alaska Bone Dry Law are enforced by Federal authority. We have no Territorial police or court. The repeal of the Alaska Bone Dry Law simply means that in this Territory as in most of the States, there would be one Prohibition law—the Volstead Act. It is true that the Volstead Act is more liberal than the Alaska Bone Dry Law. That is one good reason for the repeal of the latter. The Volstead Act among other things permits physicians to prescribe liquor as medicine when its need is indicated. That cannot be done in Alaska now without violating the law or conspiring to have it violated. Repeal would remove some of the mockeries of Prohibition enforcement here. LIPPMANN GOES TO HERALD- TRIBUNE. ‘Walter Lippmann, last editor of “The World," and if not its greatest, at least one of its most brillant and forceful, has joined the staff of the New York Herald-Tribune, but it will be sev- eral months before he takes his place on the staff. He is to spend the summer in Greece, Italy, Turkey and the Balkans and upon his return home in the autumn he will begin writing for the Herald- ‘Tribune. Mr. Lippmann went to The World in 1921 as editorial writer under the famous Frank Irving Cobb, then its editor. The latter died in 1923 and the former was put in charge of the editorial page the following year. In 1929 he received the full title of Editor. Though none of his editorial writings were signed, his fellow craftsmen had no difficulty in recognizing them. They were char- acterized by forceful reasoning and clear and com- pelling logic. In them the spirit of liberalism was ever discernible. In revealing Mr. Lippmann's connection with it, the Herald-Tribune, in a recent editorial an- nouncement said: We take pleasure in announcing to our readers that Mr. Walter Lippmann, until recently editor of “The World,” has joined the staff of the Herald-Tribune. His con- tributions are to begin next autumn. Mr. Lippmann will express freely his opinion on such subjects as he may select, over his signature. We feel that his progressive spirit belongs of right in the Herald-Tribune and that his brilliant writing and clear mind in approaching problems of the day will be welcomed by our readers. The policy of the Herald-Tribune has always been to print the news as accurately as and impartially as is humanly possible and to express its opinions on the editorial page. It has been equally its policy to give wide latitude to every shade of opinion. We count it both a public service and a privilege to add Mr. Lippmann’s point of view to our columns. Another noted “World man,” the celebrated evasions. He wants no “sacrifices.” He will permit no innocent men to be used as “peace’ offerings.” He speaks confidently of his vindication; will rely on his record of notable civic achievemnt. It is not likely that even his enemies would honestly insist that Mayor Walker personally is in ity. The raised question of his official honesty is equally absurd. But it cannot be denied that his Tammany affiliation will make his fight a harder contest. Mr. Walker's present pronouncements are those of a confident, courageous man, ready and willing only in the revolution for municipal renovation and rehabilitation which gratifyingly appears to be gain- ing headway throughout the country in cities both jgreat and small. Should he attempt, through a mis- taken sense of party loyalty, to defend Tammany's tottering system, he will be playing into the hands of his enemies. It now is his opportunity to adopt the attitude toward Tammany that has made Gov- ernor Roosevelt and Former Governor Smith dis- tinguished throughou the Nation as men strong enough and courageous enough to defy the threats, power and antagonistic effort of the great political organization which for so long has ruled New York City and imposed a malign influence over the Democratic Party in the Nation. Mayor Roberts, of Reno, proposes to supply free whiskey from barrels placed at street corners. Those who have indulged in Reno's legalized gambling will thus be enabled to drown their sorrows.— (Boston Transcript.) Governor Roosevelt is tuned in on Station Al- | bany, of course, but Washington has such a powerful broadcasting equipment that it is bound every now and then to drown out any local station.—(Buffalo Courier-Express.) In the current number of a weekly publication Senator Borah undertakes to tell “why statsemen straddle” Why does he call them statesmen?— (Detroit Free Press.) Capone says he feeds 3,000 people every day. | Not to mention the number he provides with drinks, —(Los Angeles Times.) What in the world are we going to do after June 30?

Each of the big parties would like to see a third party, but it wants the other to furnish the raw material —(Washington Post) Another fact overlooked by the Wickersham Commission: The manufacture of moonshine in the dry State of South Carolina last year was one gallon per capita—(Milwaukee Journal.) President Hoover also believes that there will be no need of increase of Federal taxes, and any Senator or Representative who does not help to confirm that belief will find his popularity . waning. —(Philadelphia Bulletin.) That was a lot better than in the |gold holdings of the United States in the week | has a total| of $4,685,000,000, the| | The | ixupply exceeds by $1,000,000 the previous high record, Despite all the efforts of the Federal Reserve :m prevent it, gold has kept pouring into this coun- Itry, until we now hold over 42 per cent. of the e We ! have more than twice as much gold as France, the next largest holder, with a reserve of 56,094,000,000 francs (on March 13) has slightly over 20 per cent.| This was not true when the supply | in the United States la.st.' But a significant point is that" unsettlement | a better bond| approaching | abroad, perhaps the renewal of foreign borrowing in | the United States on a large scale is not far dis-| any sense properly to be accused of moral culpabil- | to meet his accusers. But the Mayor is an incident | {Juneau early in the summer to |confer with C. W. Hawkesworth, Acting Chief, on various matters pertaining to the Native schools of Alaska. Charles B. Ferguson, formerly of | Craig, Alaska, and who served two terms in the Legislature, was in Washington and visited many friends. He came east to settle the estate of a brother-in-law at Atlantic City. At present he is | making his home at Kent, Wash- ington, but expects to go to Wran- gell this summer. William J. Frame, who has resid- ed at Valdez, Cordova and Fair- banks, spent a few days in the city recently, expecting soon to return {to Alaska. Many inquiries are received at the office of the Alaska Delegate, as well as by other Congressmen, from men and women who wish to find employment in Alaska. Min- ers, farmers, woodsmen and school teachers predominate. H. C. Gauss, of Washington, rep- resenting the Fertol Co., is very much interested in Alaska peat, and is now awaiting a shipment from the Agricultural College of a product that is found in large quantities near Fairbanks and which shows, by analysis, a quality in excess of the foreign peat !hntl is so generally used in the United States. Ernest Walker Sawyer has | suggested the mixing of reindeer | tankage from slaughter houses with Alaskan peat, which would give very valuable product at a price of about four cents a pound re- tail. | Horace M. Albright, director of | the National Park Service, is very much interested in Mt. McKinley Park and expects to take a trip this summer to the north and get better acquainterd with this par- ticular park. He already predicts that it will be one of the great at- tractions of Alaska and feels that a suitable hotel should be erected in the park, to better accommodate the increasing hundreds and thou- sands of tourists who will annual- ly visit this great domain, as suit- | able accommodations are provided | for visitors.
