3IRCTJEATION OCARANTTKI* TO B^ MORE THAN
POT'BI.i: THAT OF ANT OTHER AI.ASk,* :’”W.SPAPER.
AN APPROPRIATE RESOLUTION.
It is approptiaio thut the first resolution to be
adopted b> the Alaska Legislature should be one of
piecing: t.i President Harding anil pledging him the
warm welcome of the people of Alaska on the occasion
cf hi: coming vi.-i to the Territory. President Hard
ing is not only the head of the Nation and of the
highert typ of American citiien, but he has mani
fested a very earnest interest in the welfare of this
Territory, during hi- tenure of the Presidency. Alaska
ewi nt hing le a than a •' rict fulfillment of the
legislative premise.
While Presidents have planned on visiting Alaska
many time ncnc has ever cctne to the Territory, and
the indications are now that the first chief executive
of the Nation to h nor thL Territorj with a visit
will be President Harding. As recited in the resolu
tion of the Alaska Legislature, the visit cannot fail
to be of "great and enduring benefit to the North-1
land."
The Legislature bar not overstated the care at all.
President Harding will receive a "warm and patriotic”
and appreciative welcome by all the people of the
North.
THE FIRST LAW.
There is one thing the people of Juneau who wish
fo help develop the City can make sure of: They
tire net going lo git any help from the mail order
bous ■ . Th large mail order houses of Chicago,
New Yelk and 11 sow here never contributed one cult
to make Juneau larger or better. They spend nothing
for the improvements of the Uriels, for building!
it ads, for the maintenance of the schools, for Uic cost!
<> 1 municipal government, lor p got cl ion against fires.:
for the support of the schorl and fraternal societies,;
for the protection of the public health nr any other of!
•the hundred and one things which gi; to make Juneau !
a fine place In which to live They do not contribute
to the Chamber if Commerce or to any other or-!
ganizu'tion that is trying t' assist in the growth and!
development of the country.
On the other hand the Juneau merchants and lecal I
iudurtrii do all these things. They pay taxes and1
contribute to all the public institutions and charities.'
They help to make Juneau what she is. In addition'
to that they entry their goods in stock where they!
may he examined, where changes and exchanges may.
be made. t.
One cf the tin • laws In community and common-1
wealth building is to patronize local merchants and j
Industrie It we w re to give one rule for nil the
people to follow in order to help in the development
ol Alarkit It would be: Buy Alaskan products wherever
pot able and buy Iroin Alaskan bu-ines: men whenever
possible.
Germany s floating debt was rearing the three,
tlillion mark at the end of January recording to des-!
pitches. That means- a present debt of more than
fTdO.OOO.000,000 rabulating marks at their theoretic
value. Before the war the total value of all the pro
perty in Germany was estimated to lie less than
$86,000,000,000 about one-ninth of tlie amount of
the present floating debt.
WHY DO THEY EXAGGERATE?
W liy do political leaders in the formal ttatemeutsj
that are given to the public at Intervals peifcist in
tuch grots exaggeration? It does not help the
particular can.-a r. pn nted h.v a leader to discolor!
fartr. and conditions to tttcli an txleut that the dis-j
coloration i rlnxii? to all who read. It is rather
■ i crrdiiable than beneficial to the party spoken for
'■ *!l n - leaden y t |n . b : e opposing party
that all know ai’e not true. It affects the credita
bilin ot evr.v: ting in a statement when come of its
declinations are glaringly false.
Winn Cordell Mull, for instance, said that history
would find n. • ., Ingle accomplishment for public
benefit” recorded in.- Pre-.idcnt Harding took office!
he h.ly.d rather tli. n hurt the standing of the Ad-j
mini: 11 a 'ant and hut- rather than helped his own |
party. Everyone who has followed the march of
event lor the last two years knows that many bene
ficial things ha\ been accomplished by the llardlngi
Administration . Some of them are things t>f rather
large magnitude The settlement of perplexing Pacific!
problems through the Washington Arms Conference,
the refunding ot the British debt to the Cnited States
on a basis t..' istaetory to both countries, the progress,
pmde toward the perfection or the Pan-American
Onion idea and the adoption of the budget system are!
all large matters and for the public benefit. Mr. Hull,
might have pointed to broken promises'’ and par-!
ticularized enough to have established the existence
of a fairly will blazed trail f failures," and thereby
delivered a punch that would count if he had not1
gene so far.
.Likewise absurd is the statement of Mr. Mondoll.'
the retiring Republican floor loader, when he declared
that "hi; lory will record Hut no Cong re* handled
responsibilities mere satb factorlly than the Sixty-*
Seventh.’’ Mr. Mondell might have pointed to tilings ; i
that have been done, and things that have not been <
d^ne^-that would cause people to think more of the I >
Inti- Ccu than they do, but no extravagance of
Statement ran make the country look upon it a.- a
i-nee’ !, iul Cun: ies . and to praise it a-- Mr. Mondell
praised it is to make its imperfections more glaring.
It i iunifleant that it was the record ot the Sixty
Seventh < tigress that caused Mr Mon dell, its talented
and cxperuiu d leader who bestows such unstinted
praise uj•"» it, to limp out with it, a “lame duck."
In this i . ;.1 . t, it heist, Mr. Hull has the better of the
argument The ante record that Mr. Mondell praises
so highly a- one of the things that brought Mr.
Hull back into the 68th Congress with flying colors.
While a fair review of the political history of the
last two years would not be without credits here and
there for i e Sixty-Seventh Congress it would show
that nios: the ill loo few accomplishments in that
time haw- be. a through the executive rather than the
lcgislativ I-ranch of the Government. And, while we
say the ae. omplishments have been too few, it would
not be fair nut to add that accomplishments for the
public belief!! a re us tally too few at Washington.
AMERIC ANS Ka'i LESS MEAT.
is America outgrowing her meat supply or a meat
eating lirlii ? in 1860 with a population of 23,000,
ooo tliterc were 84,800,000 cattle, sheep and hogs in
the coun'.v At the present time with a population
of 115.000.o00 there arc 160,085,000 cattle, sheep and
hegs. The population has grown 600 per cent, while
the increase in livestock has grown less than ltil)
per cent.
Of coin we must allow something for tin- fact
that we hav. improved our stock so that there is
more meat per head now than 75 years ago and row's
make more bufer and give more milk per head. How
ever. the ai '*,:ter cause of I lie discrepancy is probably
the people, due to the greater variety of food-stuff,
do not want as much meat as they used in the old
days. Tii was a time when a considerable portion
of the people almost confined their di t to meat,
cereals, hardy vegetables, dairy products and fruit.
Improved transportation conditions have added many
tilings including fish from Alaska.

(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
Called down and rebuked by the Senate, which a
few day- as» twice ordered expunged from the records
his remniks reflecting upon otlier members, Senator
Heflin, of Alabama, recently made a bad matter worse
by declaim, that he had been unfairly treated by the
“subsidized prr He threatened to taks steps to pre
vent “c rtain press reptesenlutives' from sitting in
the pro s gallery.
The prr. will be represented In the gallery so
long as Senators are sent to represent the people on
the floor if the Senate. The correspondent is there
to do his duty, to report faithfully all that tran
spires lit the conduct of Congressional business. The
Senator's outcry is that of the spanked child. It also
again es!i attention to thrit nebulous something we
know a Senatorial courtesy, which, in the vernac
ular, quite often properly might be defined as
Senatorial bttnk.
When Senators and Representatives, exercising
lheir privileges as representatives of ilte people, say
tilings in the heat of debate, or indulge in language
cf doubtful propriety with reicivnce to their col
leagues, what they say should go into the record.
In till.- authorized way, the public may propertly erti
mate the character, ability and importance of the men
who have been selected to represent them as effi
cient servants.
The press is not interested in the petty quarrels,
the undignified animauversions of individuals who
happen to be Senators or Representatives, when pas
don rr Indiscretion leads them to forget what is due
to their high position, except t.c report such inci
dents, as is their duty, to the end that the public
may be fully informed of all that gees on in our
great deliberative bodies.
Tiie Senator is in error when he declares that
newspapermen sit in the gallery only by permission
of the Senate. They are there because the American
people want them there. They are there because in
America star chamber methods and practice are not
and never will be tolerated.
Expunging the record may bo in harmony with
the requirements of Senatorial courtesy, but it does
i.of meet the approval ot tiie American people. If a
Senator or Representative is led to say tilings tiiat
lie should not have said, let him express his regrets,
accept the rebuke of hia colleagues, and let tiie whole

Budget Justified Itself.
(Now York Herald.)
President Harding’s an noun-cement that an ap
parent national deficit of $823,000,000 lias been re
duced to one of only $03,000,000 in the best news
in a money way (hat the beset taxpayer lias heard for
some time.
That the country Should find itself nearly three
quarters of a billion dollars better off than it seemed
to be tlx months ago is remarkable Indeed. There
will be 'plenty of cynics to ray that the deficit of
$730,000,000 was not entirely real and that tire Presi
dent's rtatoment admits It. Hut some of it was very
real, or promised to be, and it will he an ungrateful
citizen who doesn't rejoice that the threat of reality
lais vanished.
Let us admit that $408,000,000 of the apparent
deficit was not real. That is the amount of revenue
which the Treasury Department lias collected beyond
its hopes of six months ago. It can be attributed ta
the new tariff law, the picking up in busine.s and the
aggressive methods adopted by Secretary Mellon in
the collection of taxes and the prosecution ot tax
cases.
But no one will contend that the remainder of
tho eliminated deficit was unreal. The Government,
h> applying to Us departments the methods of every
day business, has reduced expenses at the rate of
$322,000,000 a year. The budget system did this.
The credit for it goes to President Harding and
General Dawes and all the department and bureau
heads who co-operated with them in ending extrava
gance and waste.
This saving of $33.2000.000 is a far bigger tiling
then the $408,000.00(1 item of increased revenue.
Large tariff income is not money saved, for the people
pay the tariff in the price of the tilings they buy to
at and to wear. Business may not always be as good
■ it is now and the Treasury may find its collections
poorer. Bui. whether the times are good or had, the
untry need never go back to the archaic system
hat prevailed in Government business before the day
if the budget.
No longer dees one department of the Government
<uy today for $5 what another department i-- celling
or $1. No longer are specifications so much at the
wrey of the whims of department officials that the
llovernmont must buy 2d different varieties of the
■me article. No longer are Government good shipped
arc and there at a cost of freight charges five times
lie worth of the goods.
If the Government has already saved a third of a
•illlcti dollars by adopting the budget system it < an
xtend tlie idea until it saves half a billion a year
crimps more. All that was said for the budget sys-1
em has been Justified. It is not conceivable that the!
Jovernment can ever go bark to Us haphazard way of
loing business. I
