The action, it- self, was not dictated by wisdom, rather by impatient anger brought about by what unquestionably seems to Alaskans to have been an unjust discrimination by the management of the Alaska Railroad. The purchase, several months ago, by the rail- road of thousands of crossties from Washington State mills started the whole thing. The residents of the rail belt felt, and most Alaskans believe justly so, that this business ought to have been confined to the district adjacent to the railroad. There is plenty of timber available, tie-cutters in abundance to supply all needs, and they are .Alas-‘l kans who really need employment. Further, many of them had been encouraged to take out tie- cutting permits from either the United States Forest Service or the General Land Office and had actually hewed out thousands of ties they had every reason to believe would be purchased by the Government} for use on the road. Not only were the ties not so purchased, but, according to a resolution recently adopted by the local Legislature, the management abslutely refused to fix prices for local ties. Thus, tiiose who financed the operations and those who| cut the timber and hewed the ties were worse off than if they had remained idle all winter—they were out both their money and their labor. It is easy to understand, therefore, the anger| of the residents of Seward and other communitics that have been seriously affected by the refusal of the railroad to buy local ties and its purchase of a foreign product. hat anger went to a dangerous extreme when it resulted in the destruction of the imported ties and the open threat to burn nrore "ties, possibly whole trains and even ships. Seward’s “tie party” cannot be considered on a par with colonial Boston's famou party that ocurred 158 years ago, or Cordova's coal party of two decades ago. Although Boston citizens did defy the English Government’s Tea Act, they destroyed property owned by the East Indies Company and not the Crown. And the Cordovans destroyed coal owned by privaie interests. Not so Seward’s Committe of Twenty. It de- stroyed the property of the United States Govern- ment—crossties it had bought and paid for, and a flat car owned by it. When it threatens to burn whole trains and possibly ships it threatens the Government of the United States. That, of course, is a grave matter. Graver, we are sure, than those involved realized, and that the abuses at the bottom of the action called for. We hope that the matter will be passed over lightly and that the entire situation will adjust itself without serious trouble having been visited upon anyone. Lea STATE GOVERNMENT FINANCES. According to a statement just issued by the Burcau of Census the governmental-costs of the 48 State Governments in the year 1931 amounted to $2,508,743,486; the aggregate revenue receipts were $2324522,179 and the total net indebtedness was $1,976,844,129. The payments for operation and maintenance of the general departments of the State Governments of the 48 States for the fiscal year closing December 31, 1931, or for the latest complete fiscal year clos- ing on a date prior thereto, amounted to $1,447,285,- 822 or $11.75 per capita. This includes $393,216,750 apportionments for education to the minor ecivil divisions of the States. In 1930 the per capita for operation and maintenance of general departments was $11.40, and in 1917, $4.19. The payments for opeation and maintenance of public service enter- prises amounted to $8,797,232; interest on debt, $110,820,612; and outlays for permanent improve- ments, $941,839.820. The total payments for 1931, therefore, were $2,508,743.486; for 1930, $2,290,270,059; and for 1917 $517,503,220. ‘There was an increase in apportionments for edu- cation of $24,893852 over those for 1930. Interest charges also increased $9,390,014 over those for 1930. Of the total governmental-cost payments 57.7 per cent was for the operation and maintenance of the general departments of the State Governments; 0.4 per cent was for the operation and maintenance of public service enterprises, such as docks and wharves, canals, warehouses, irrigation projects, etc.; 44 per cent was for interest on debt; and 375 per cent - represented outlays for permanent improvements, (public buildings, etc.) ' Of the payments for operation and maintenance of general departments, 409 per cent was for educa- _ tion; 166 per cent, for highways; 159 per cent, for charities, hospitals, and éorrections; 8.7 per cent, 25 per cent, for health and sanitation; 0.4 per cent, for recreation; and 3.9 per cent, for miscalleanous, the latter including pensions to retired State em- ployees, aid to soldiers and sailors, to mothers, and to other special classes. The outlay payments for permanent improve- ments were principally for highways, constituting 805 per cent of the total outlays. The next in importance were the outlay payments for charities, hospitals, and corrections, amounting to $79.021,023, and education, amounting to $40,575,345. SUSPENDING ASS ESSMENT WORK. The movement toward suspending requirements for annual assessment work on unpatented mining claims again for this year seems due to be succe ful. However, it will not be unlimited suspension as was the case last year. Then:it applied to all unpatented mining claims. Under the law which is now pending in Congress, only those claims owned by individuals, firms or corporations who pay no income taxes are eligible. ¥ The exception of the claims held by payees of income taxes was designed to meet the objection, |raised in Alaska as well as in the mining States of the West, that thousands of claims are held by indi- viduals, firms and corporations well able to have the annual assessment work done, and to exempt them |would deprive workmen of one of the few oppor- tunities they have for badly needed employment, and would give relief where none was needed. The theory of Congress seems to have been that those who earn enough to come under the internal revenue act and actually pay income taxes can, also, afford to do or have done assessment work on any un- patented claims they own, and those not having enough to be taxed are entitled to relief from the necessity of doing the $100 worth of work required on each unpatented claim. Probably the distinc- tion is the best solution that could have been made. At least it ought to satisfy the objections raised. Power from Severn Tides. (New York Times.) At the mouth of the Severn, England, the waters rise and fall 47 feet at the equinoxes. Even the Spring tides have a range of 40 feet and the neap 22. Why not build a dam to hold back the water and pay it out gradually through turbines which would be coupled with dynamos to generate electric energy? Moon and sun would turn the wheels of British factories. English engineers have been toying with the idea for generations. One government report after another has examined it from the technical, indus- trial, navigational and economic angles. The latest, most thorough and authoritative of these examina- tions, representing six years of work by a com- mittee of engineers and much experimenting by Professor A. H. Gibson with large-scale models of the Severn estuary to determine the effect of var- ious types of dam on tidal levels and navigation, has been received tepidly by the British technicall? press. Not the feasibility of harnessing the tides in the end may cost not much less than £40,000,- 000 is questioned. When it is considered that each of the 2,000 million electrical units made available for the na- tional network would cost 02372 pence and that a modern coal-fired station can generate energy at a cost of only 03 pence the margin in favor of the Severn project is small—too small, perhaps, when we must reckon with still lower costs for steam-fired stations in the near future. Con- tingencies that cannot be foreseen may easily wipe out the slim margin of six-hundredths of a penny per electrical unit that now stands on paper between commercial success and failure if the Severn scheme is ever carried out. It is a pity that economics must thus spoil a romantic picture. There is some- thing captivating in the thought of London lit by the moon as it swims overhead, of 706 tides pro- duced in a year by lunar and solar attraction, of industry geared, as it were, to the solar system. “The Favorite Bird Dog.” (New York Herald Tribune.) His body was lying by his favorite bird dog, and it was the animal’'s whimpering - which first attracted attention.—An Asso- ciated Press dispatch. Why was this item broadcast to the thousand and more newspapers which receive news from The Associated Press? Not because of the national prominence of the man. The writer of the brief piece must have had something else in mind. He must have owned a dog, whipped him as he would his own child, had him fall asleep at his feet a few moments after the chastisement, had him grip his right hand between his jaws and leave no mark on the flesh, had him forget his lickings and scold- ings and commit the same indefensible crime the very next day. The writer must have felt that beyond all else “the favorite bird dog” is understanding, sees the small amount of good in all of us, is forgiving, recognizes in his master a true friend, some one who punishes only because a penalty for wrong- doing must be exacted by the fairest and most tolerant judge. If, perhaps, the judge may some- times be too impersonal, too objective, “the faithful bird dog” endears himself because he knows that at heart his master is his companion, his pal. It’s a Queer World. (Daily Journal of Commerce, Seattle.) It's a funny old world. We plan. We study. We accumulate. We employ labor to build. Then we tear down. When war comes we spend enor- mous sums building ships and armaments. Then, in a wave of war revulsion following the conflict, we destroy that which we built. A few years pass and we regrel our hasty action. We spend count- less millions of dollars attempting enforcement of an unpopular Prohibition act. Then the pendulum swirgs and we spend millions rushing work on breweries. We expend hundreds of thousands of dollars in creating a settihg for a movie spectacle Cameras click a few moments, people move to and fro, then the wreckers get busy. Similarly we pour out money to build tabernacles for revival services. For several weeks there is prodigious praying, singing and treading of sawdust. Then—salvage. Yet busi- ness men say such procedure pays. Labor says it affords employment. What is wrong? Or are we wrong who think that the products of labor and the purchases of gold should be some- how sacred, not to be lightly obtained and lightly cast away?
