He has presented a budget that would allow a balance of less than $1,000000 over anticipated Tevenues next year. Taxes will not be raised, he| said, but he indicated that for 1933 there must be a property tax of four-tenths of one per cent..unless | the expenditures can be reduced. The English statesman believes thoroughly in the old axiom that a surplus is a dangerous tihing. British economists have long contended that a ficit is less menacing than a surplus. A surplusthat zamazes during this period of hard times. The is always a temptation to extravagance or worse. ‘AmPncan people have drifted far from their previous | Often times surplusses have led to war.

President Cleveland strong- ly advanced the idea when he sent his first tariff message to Congress in 1887, and declared that “un- necessary taxation is unjust taxation.” He contended that it is far better to leave money in the hands of the taxed where it is employed than it is to take jt from trade channels and pile up idle surplusses in public treasuries or to expend money for purposes that are not necessary for economical government. Sometimes a treasury deficit serves a useful pur- pose. It is @ reminder to legislators that a time is at hand when appropriations must be held down It is notice to the public that it is necessary at times to get along without some of the things that it might like to have. WHO WU.L BE 1931 RACING CHAMPION? horse racing season is getting fairly under way and race fans in many sections of the country are finding amusement, at least, in trying to pick the Man o' War or Gallant Fox of the year. Of course they last year's two-year-olds for clues, for the big horse of the year is nearly always a three-year-old. The 1931 While none of the two-year-olds of last year | to suspect danger to the record of Man o War, the greatest horse of all ime, Jamestown made a far better showing than that of Gallant Fox, who leads all horses in the amount of his three-year-old winnings.

In addition to the Futurity, Jamestown last year won the two Saratoga Specials, the Flash Stakes, U. S. Hote! Stakes and Grand Union Hotel Stakes. Man o War's earnings as a two-year-old were $83,325, about half that is because the stakes of 1930 were incomparably larger than those of 1919, was second in one. He started ten times. He won most of the races that were captured by James- town, including the Futurity and the four Sara- toga races. In addition he won the Hopeful Stakes that last year was won by Epithet, the Tremont and others. Tllustrating the difference in the purses in Man o' War's day and now, the Hopeful in 1919 paid the winner $24,600 while Epithet got $55,000 last year. However, Jamestown was elim- inated before the end of his two-year-old season, when he was killed after breaking a leg. Equipose was easily Jamestown's nearest -com- petitor among last year's two-year-old winners. He won the Pimlico Futurity, Great American Stakes, Keene Mémorial, Eastern Shore, National and Juvenile, netting $140,075. His miscellansous winnings, it is claimed, put them ahead of James- town's total at the time of the latter’s death. Gallant Fox was retired from the turf and sent to the stud before the close of the season last year, after winning nine races and running second once in ten starts matching Man o' War's two-year-old E money than any other race horse. H years were $328,165. ex; record. won more However, had the purses been the same in the time of Man o' War as in 1930, the latter would have won 240. He started in 21 races as a two- and thri ear-old. He won twenty firsts and one second. Coming back to the 1931 championship prospects, two-year-old performances are by no means a cer- tain guide to picking three-year-old winners. Gal- lant Fox, as already indicated, showed little nromise in 1929 of his wonderful 1930 achievements. He had won two races. was second in two and third in two as a two-year-old. Whichone and ng Heels made incomparably belter records. Whichone won the Futurity, Champagne, Saratoga Special and other stakes, winning $130,000 or more in 1929 Plyin; & Heels won the Pimlico Futuri the Tia Juana Futurity, the Nursery Handicap and other races, netting more than $75,000] Boojum, Desert Light Dedicate, Dustemail, Sarazen, Grattan, Gallant * | colts entitled to the | ws dispatches credited to be | | by are scanning the performances of | two-year-old | those of Jamestown, but| He won nine races and | Stallion | gross earnings in two | . : THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE, WELWBDAY MAY'13, 1931 HOSPITAL DAY Knight, Khara, Black Majesty and omer two-year- olds earned more money in 1929 than Gallant Fox. So we must not conclude that the championship | for 1931 must necessarily go to Equipose.

(Olympia Olympian.) Individualism has long. been the demiand of the| | American people, in fact has been the one thing ! which the citizens of his country have insisted most upon having. Paternalism has been shunned as a plague, for |the forefathers of Americans believed wrong the | medieval conception of government as being that entity from which flowed every good and perfect| |thing, and upon which the individual must depend for his welfare, his job, his state of happinéss and prosperity. Yet paternalism has been revived in a fashion ‘ery arises for the Federal Government to meet de-{ mands for cash, for bureaucracy, for nationalism of business enterprises and for adventures into so- cialism, Hard times, coupled with a breakdown in the ancient system of party government and party re- |sponsibility, have breached the defenses of the| Nation against paternalism. And with a new Con- | gress elected in which a progressive-minded group | 'holds the balance of power, these breaches promise to be widened. The T1st Congress goes down in history as a ten billion dollar Congress. The 72nd, unless checked the force of a revived public opinion resulting | from improved economic conditions, may even exceed this mark. { Demands that may be presented to the Congress may be listed in three classes. One includes the proposals which would entail a further distribu- |tion of Federal funds among the States on the plea of easing the burdens of local taxation, or aiding the ‘States in the establishment of benevolent, social, educational or otherwise beneficial services. The second class includes legislation ostensibly for the benefit of war veterans, direct grants to individuals either as unemployed or relief, old-age | 'pensions or as charity. | | The third class of demands comprehends the principle of Government ownership and operation |of public utilities. If this legislative program is carried out by the| progressive element in Congress there will be a de- | |cided effect on public revenues and thus on existing systems of taxation, Federal, State and local. Newer and enlarged responsibilities will be heaped upon the Federal Government. This may be a machine age, we grant that 1tl is, and the policies of the machine age may com |to be applied to individuals and government may | come to be for despite the tendency have to foot the bills. toward a machine age, still has thrown \bnck again. away his individualism, will want it The cloak of paternalism doesn't fit |Uncle Sam so well. | Filipinos in the States. (Manchester Guardian.) The racial problem has always been one of peculiar difficulty in the United States, and color prejudice, not unknown in this country, is probably more intense there than in any other part of the world. A new and extremely delicate color prob- lem has recntly been caused by the large immi- gralion of Filipinos. The number now in the country, most of them concentrated on the Pacific Coast, is estimated at 60,000. Even more have gone to Hawail. Not unnaturally many people in the States would like to dam this flood of immigration. But it is difficult to treat the Filipinos as aliens. They have grown up under American administra- tion, they have been educated in American schools, and they claim the rights of American citizens. They seem to stand on sound constitutional ground; but the agitation against them is also strong, in | Intensity of feeling 4f not in constitutional right. | Apart from any question of right or wrong, it |does seem a strange state of affairs in which the | immigration of English, Germans, and Scandinav- |ians, is rigidly limited by a quota system while |these Malay people find free entry.
