Robinson, Indiana, Alaska has gained a new where it needs friends—in Congress. his promise to Gov. Troy meant—his assurance that he will gladly lend Delegate Dimond any assistance possible in obtaining the enactment of any com- prehensive legislative program for Alaskan develop- ment and settlement. Although a comparatively young man even now, the Indianan has served nine years in the upper branch of Congress and is nationally known. His present term does not expire until 1935 and during the next two years, the Senate will be called on to act on some measures of prime importance to Alaska where his aid will be of high value. Two of the measures likely to come before it, are the measures, already introduced by Delegate Dimond, for transferring control of local figheries, game and fur resources from Federal to Territorial authority. Senator Robinson’s attention was directed to these by Gov. Troy who invited him to help put them though the Senate. His response Wwas immediate and sincere. “Why mnot?” he asked. ! “You should control them here,” he added immed- iately. It was apparent that he recognized the Home Rule principle involved. His own knowledge of American history served to convince him instantly and without necessity for argument that here were two bills that would partly accomplish what he and everyone else realizes as the crying needs of Alaska—development and settlement. So “why not” do it? Senator Robinson's visit to Alaska is of import- ance to it. He has come with an earnest desire to know something of it, of its people, of its problems and of the measures Alaskans have in mind for their solution. Every question he asked of the Gov- ernor during their conference demonstrated that. The results of his northern trip should be bene- ficial to Alaska and serviceable to the entire nation. BATTING AVERAGE ALMOST PERFECT. President Roosevelt's batting average for nom- inations confirmed by the Senate was well nigh perfect, exceeding 999 per cent. He submitted 1256 nominations and all but one were confirmed. Two names were withdrawn, but the statisticians did not count these as “times at bat,” for the Chief Execu- tive. Maybe they were “passes” or “sacrifice hits.” The list included 272 civilian nominations, chief- 1y diplomats, judges, district attorneys, marshals and key positions in executive departments in Wash- ington. When it is considered that of that small {that justice will be done. (to an upset ,ernment, better police and fire protection, number, Alaska got five, it can readily be recog- nized that the Territory did not fare so badly after all. It is rather a tribute to the Territorial organization's strength that we fared so well. In addition, the President submitted 519 Army, 431 Navy and 34 Marine Corps nominations, chiefly routine. He did not appoint any permanent post- masters, and only a few acting postmasters. There are thousands of these posts waiting to be filled. The one nomination that spoiled a perfect batting average for Mr. Roosevelt was that of George F. Alexander, Portland, Ore., attorney to be Judge of the Federal District Court in this Division. His name was not reported out of the Senate Judiciary Committee after opposition was registered by Dele- gate Dimond and members of the Committee on the basis of his nonresidence in Alaska. The nom- ination was then automatically returned to the White House, Undoubtedly on his return shortly from his well-earned vacation, the President will make a number of recess dppointments to fill positions where the tenures of present occupants have ex- pired, and to fill existing vacancies. Alaska, it is practically certain, will share in these. JUSTICE FOR VETERANS. That war veterans incapacitated by bona fide service-connected disabilities have little to fear from the National Administration is emphasized by a statement from Washington that certain increases in compensation are to be awarded them in the near {future, and that a review will be made of all cuts ordered by the Veterans Bureau. should assure the veterans It is a complete answer to that criticism that was so loudly voiced in Con- gress during its closing days and that almost led in the Administration’s program to balance the budget. It was inevitable that the regu- lations providing for decreases in compensation and disability allowances announced by the President originally should work some hardships on certain veterans and their families. New regulations issued are designed fo relieve these hardships in the cases of veterans having service-connected disabilities. The President has given his word that such cases will be looked after adequately and gener- ously. That should be as much as the veterans desire. They should not want the doors again thrown open to the lobby that bulldozed Congress for so many years and cost the taxpayers uncounted millions of dollars that should never have been charged against them. This announcement Senator Robinson said to Gov. Troy: “Alaska ought to get $10,000,000 for public works relief.” Is there that much real money in the world? John F. Dore Making a Great Mayor for Seattle. (Seattle Business Chronicle.) In the first year of hjs term as Chief Execu- tive of Sedttle, John F. Dore reaches an outstand- ing position among Mayors of American cities as| measured by accomplishment for the public good in providing better municipal govemmem at lower cost. When Mayor Dore took office the municipality's 1932 budget called for approximately $10,000,000 raised by taxation; during the past 12-month he has forced economies (notwithstanding active opposition of the radical bloc in the City Council led by Fitts| and Misener with its unjustifiable policy of ex- travagance) that have saved taxpayers about $3,- 500,000. Mayor Dore expects to cut city expendi- tures further, and still more deeply, so that that 1934 budget will be fully 50.per cent less than 1932. These entrenchments have in nowise impaired effi- ciency of government; in fact, have really increased efficlency for those still on the payroll were soon made to realize they must deliver competent service if they are to retain their jobs. Mayor Dore truly says Seattle has better gov- better health service than ever before. Here is a thought for every American, though in stating it Mayor Dore was talking only to Seattle citizens: “Every dollar taken out of your pockets in taxes comes off your table, off your back, out of your homes. I cannot conceive why a homeowner should cut down his expenditure for food, clothing, pleasure or anything else that he needs or"desires and permit extravagant government.” Let's walve formality and promptly hang the kldnspers—(Avchlson Globe} SATURDAY ONLY!
