THE PRESIDENTS VETO
One of the most interesting features of this session of Con
gress has bten brought about by the President ? veto of the Sol
dier's Bonus Bill. This action is nothin? c.tirely unexpected on
the part of the President. He intimated from the beginning that
he was not whole heartedly in favor of sucu a bill, that provision
must be made for the money to pay the bill if It should reclve
his approval. On the other hand he has pxpressed ' Itnsell as in
favor and litis pushed legislation which would give every injured
soldier every needful thing which the government couid give to
make his preseni and his future as brigh: js ii could lie maile.
Tula, the Administration has zealously carried out.
Tie Bonus Measure has not bad the support of the general
public on its merits alone. But no smai: political pressure has
been used to push the Measure through Congress irrespective of
whether it was a wise economic measure or nut. It w.ik passed i.y
both Houses of Congress and the President vetaod it. Ibis, has
brought up a very interesting political s'mV-ion. Tno members
of Congress, who are up for reelection, and voted tor it can go
before constituents with their records on this measjre and get
all the support which would come because of such ration Inas
much as it >s not yet a law, the opponents of the Measure in their
districts might not hold it against them, but mignt indicate their
feeling in such a way that if elected and" the measure avain comes
up these same men might vote against it. Two »ara would then
elapse before they would again be up for the suffrages uf their
people and in that time much water would nave passed over the
dam.
Will Congress pass the Bonus hefore election? Its a safe
guess to say it will noL Will it then pass the IJouus Bill after
election? It is safe (o predict that the .neusur? carrying a three
billion dollar appropriation will have a hard time ge'.ting through
before Congress adjourns. If that happens, tie .Measure is dead.
Probably no measure has caused politicians more anxious
hours than this Bonus Measure. Is the President's Veto prac
tically the end?
JINEAl PEOl'LK ENJOYING CHAUTAigfA CO! USE
Juueau is now mid-way between a Cfcr.utauquc course or en
tertainment that promises to be most thoroly enjoyed and highly
instructive. The lectures are proving most inspiring and instruc
tive and the Juneau public will have cau.se to feel grateful for t!Te
presence in their midst of such men as Dr. A. D. Carpenter, the
noted astronomer; Burnell Ford, inventor r.nd scientist: Dr. Gor
don B. Smith, lawyer-churc. man. The musical stars are of ex
ceptional ability and are giving pleasing rcrditions in their parti
cular lines. And it is fair to presume that our people will have
pleasant memories of the attractive personality and artistic ren
di.ious of Miss Epperson. Miss doing, Miss Bell and Mt.-s Moore.
Tl.cn among the men entertainers, not to be forgotton, is Bari
tone Newcombe. Joseph Marks, the boy violinist. Piper "Wee
Jamie" Clark, and Drummer MacKoberU. This constellation of
stars has been admirably handled by Miss Hazel B. Strayer. dis
trict manager for the Chautauqua, ably assisted by Miss Alda E.
Henry, the advance agent. And to the local committee who have
giveu freely of the efforts toward making Juneau a worthy mecca
for Chautauqua entertainments, much credit and appreciation is
due. Opportunity is uot frequent in this northland to hear talent
or the better cla>s that produces clean, wholesome entertainment
and to have reflected the master minds that carry us into the
realm of science, philosphy, astronomy and Godliness. The atten
dance that has thus far greeted the different entertainments has
been large and appreciative.—Sunday Capital, (Juneau).
WHY NOT?
A recent visitor lc Valdez, in speaking of the collection of
ti e Territorial school tax, remarked that collectors were sent
from Juneau to collect this tax in the Bristol Bay section and at
points in interior, and asked why this work, and the compensa
tion attached was not given to the United States Commissioners \
in tile outlying districts. The question is a pertinent one. There
is. so far as we can see, no possible reason why this should not
be done, and there are any number of reasons why it should be.
Probably one of the greatest difficulties experienced by the
several district judges is to secure competent men to (ill the posi
tion of Commissioner in the outlying precinct, and it is still more
difficult to retain a competent man when once appointed because
tiich a man cannot afford to give the time the office requires be
c -use the compensation is so small in most cases. The added com
pensation which would accrue to them as tax collectors would go
a long way toward Inducing competent men to accept the office of
Commissioner In the first instance, and once appointed to retain
it. a consummation devoutly to be wished. There is no doubt that
l.ie Commissioner would be eveu better qualified for the position
of tax collector in his own precinct than an outsider would be.
aud the matter should be brought to the attention of the next
legislature that action to this end may be taken.—Valdez Miner.
