Similar conflicts| are said to be going on in other States. It is need-| less to refer to the differences which have developed between the White House and Capitol Hill in| Washington. What are the reasons why the people seem to be more and more looking to the Executive as the real lawmakers? One is, no doubt, an accentuated distrust of the Legislature or of Congress. Another is the emcrgence of strong men in executive office, with the gift of capturing the imagination of the public. Still ancther is that a Governor or a Presi-| dent has now an extraordinary access to the elec-| torate, and is able to frame a series of legislative | proposals which haye . the advantage of reaching nearly all citizens, and of being accepted as a model of what is desirable and urgent in legislation. AL|1 these things aid the activities .and -heighten the| firm Was knpwn'in routine periods of owr,.political his- | tory. Sl | There aré necessary limitations upon the Exccu»l tive in all this business. He must be careful and| shrewd in choosing his subjects. There is no use in his standing firm merely for some pat and private idea of his own which carries with no| swelling tide of popular opinion. Even a strong man | can be easily defeated if he mistakes his issue.| President Wilson, for example, very much wanted | the establishment of a Presidential primary, and | once went so far as to express his personal opm:oni that there would never be another national con- | vention of either party in the United States. But| that project soon faded out, and Mr. Wilson quietly | THE BETTER PART CF WISDOM. The impetuous Long, is spr political a4 certain cre: Senator from Louisiana, ading out again. Undaunted by ear es the pugnacious Huey, now ridi , is putting the finger on the other boys in the nate whom, he ‘says, “wit not come back.” The Senator assures the world he will see to it that they don't come back to the Senate. He has publicly announced a campaign against" the veteran Joe Robinson in Arkansas and others are now being added to his book of dislikes. Senator Bailey of North Carolina is the latest to” hear the verbal wrath of the personally admitted great Huey. In recent clashes in our own Legislature certain' members have promised that men adverse to them on various picces of proposed legislation “won't be back.” Perhaps, their prophecies may be true, but! it might not miss to recall the incident of the man who decided to whip any person in a certain establishment.

Pending before the Legislature in its closing the important preb of mine taxation, y gold mines. Two measures ar one calling for ta production of gold mines ova: and the other a three per cent tax $20,000. It is generally itself, that gold increase in the of the not be lays very now undc a flat 75 cenis on gros: 50 oun: admitted, even Dby theindustry mining will have to stand tax burden of the Territory. Some operators have frankly stated they would adverse an incre in the levy up to n to a hundred per cent, but that above that they feel' it would be discriminatory. It is true that the gold mining industry has been aided through the Gov- ernment advance in the price of gold, and bec of this impetus the Territory has benefited. Pay- rolls have been maintained and increased, and as has been pointed out in various hearings held be- fore the Legislature, payrolls are probably the most important industrial achievements in Alaska. With- out industry and payrolls, development of the Ter- ritory would be seriously if not entirely retarded. Thus, it logically follows no unnecessary barriers should be raised. 3 A hundred per cent increase in any taxation is a sizeable amount, and surely the suggestion reveals fairness on the part of those who must bear the burden. The Legislature can do well to be as fair when it finally dectdés on the gold mining tax. Executive Firmness. (New York Times.) In the day's news an uusual humber of Gov. ernors are being reported, or are being besought, to “stand firm.” The implication is, of course, that the Executive is either opposing some measure which the Legislature favors, or is demanding that it pass . . a bill in the shape approved by him. Thus we have CONGRESSNOTES : LESS BILLS BY ADMINISTRATION F. D. R.

It is not enough fer ‘him to be merely | “firm.” He must also be wise, sagacious in h choice of subordinates and helpers, patient in wait- ing for the propitious time and tide. and resolute | in holding every inch of ‘ground that he gains.| It is the Executives who have displayed these and other willing qualities who have given the great| contemporary, interest in the words and works of Governors and the President. . If this implies o certain despite to Legislatures, it is largely their own fault. It is because they seem to be of such slight stature that a vigorous and unyielding Exccu- tive appears to tower so high above them. The Strenuous, Cold Tropics. (New York Herald-Tribune.) The popular notion that the tropics und orally has surely been the cause of mer disappointments. For lac g cooperat on the part of the prospective debauchee, the tropi do nothing of the sort. One can de] up them. E ng run wn a tropic or two on the map. th who confide in ncvels and plays based entirely upon this fascinating belief set out to let their clers disintegrate (just as they'v: been taught xpect), only to discover that in the| regions of psychological geography a healthy son is frequent surprised by new energy.
