ALASKA SHIPPING BOARD FAIL
URE
The Alaska Territorial Shipping
Board appears to have given up the
ghost. Aside from wasting a large
sum of money, nothing practical foi
the good of the territory was accom
plished and the testimony broughl
out even by the board’s lobbyists
clearly showed Alaska steamship
operations are conducted in the face
of high costs and handicaps more
noticeable than in other parts of the
country. The rates, mileage and ser
vice to Juneau, which town was the
originating prnint of the attack or
the steamships, were found to com
pare very favorably with those on the
Atlantic Coast to the non-contiguous
territory of the United States known
as Porto Rico, and this fact meanl
that if the Alaska rates were juggled
with, the rate structure from Boston
New York and Philadelphia to the
West Indies might come under the
same category, hence the Eastern
steamship operators looked with dis
favor on the project. Locally, when
it became known that if the U. S
Shipping Board went into the scheme
thai steamships would be given tc
San Francisco and the ColumbiE
river, thus threatening a blow al
Alaska and Seattle, far seeing men oi
both sections were strongly againsl
the measure. It was a colossal blun
der born of political cupidity anc
stupidity. Happily the greatest blow
that could have been aimed at the
development of Seattle”s waterborne
commerce has been averted.—Rail

JEFFERSON AND JACKSON: WHY
LINK THEIR NAMES
A Democratic speechniaker has
^uch to dodge and much to dread.
He has to avoid, so far as possible,
the contrast between the strong pro
tectionist belief of ttye early presi
dents and the party’s free trade drift
of later years. He cannot easily re
concile the old teaching on the neces
sity of the union with the laudation
of Jefferson Davis. He does not find
it safe to begin a historical review
of Democratic currency legislation.
There are many points which it is
produemt or even necessary to avoid,
and frequently the safest thing to do
is to invoke “the memorable names of
Jefferson aid Jackson.” That always
brings applause, and never offends a
listener. Republicans who may be
present join in the cheers. Every
body takes it for granted that some
thing will be said about Jefferson
and Jackson.
Jefferson and Jackson were Dem
ocrats, each had two 'terms of the
presidency, and let emphasis be laid
on the important fact that both
names begin with “J.” A review of
their lives might embarrass the
orator. They did not agree as the old
hymn informs us that birds in their
little nests dd. Jefferson’s mind was
philosophic. Jackson was impatient.
Jefferson declared Jackson grossly un
fit for president, and expressed alarm
at the prospect of his election. What
Jackson said of Jefferson is not fit
for publication.
Jeiterson s Knowledge or law, ms
acquaintance with Old World condi
tions, his command of French, his
stories of general information counted
for much in his political life. At
•times, however, he theorized instead
of meeting facts with facts. For in
stance in 1798, coquetted with agita
tors who were practically Nullifiers.
His sympahty with the French revol
ution led him into actions which the
prompt soldier of the backwoods re
garded as unsuitable for a world of
realities. Jefferson allowed his dis
like of the federalists to impair our
naval efficiency—he wanted to dis
card all effective cruisers and commit
our defence to the poor little gun
boats which could not face a gale. In
Jackson’s brief congressional service
he voted to equip vessels to sail
against the Algerines, and out of sight
was not out of mind, for in far away
Tennessee he named his favorite
racehorse Truxtan, after the sea
fighter who took one French frigate
and made another drop out of the
fighting line. Jefferson disliked
Truxtun, and Truxtun left the navy
under a sense of grievance. At any
time from 1794 to 1805 the naval
policy of the Republic would have
found Jefferson and Jackson hopeless
ly at odds.
, wnen Jefferson turned from his
philosophic moods to act the strenu
ous role, the clash was even more
pronounced. Jackson believed that
Jefferson was a prosecutor not will
ing to grant Burr a fair trial. So be
lieving he spoke out in the streets
of Richmond. The fury of his lan
guage was talked of for many a day.
For less savage outbursts foreignors
had been sent to prison. Jefferson
did, it cannot be denied, show more
than beconiing zeal in the prosecution
of Burr. He was bent on securing a
| conviction, and forgot his dignity in
his eagerness. But if we of today
must say this, can we imagine the
rage of Jackson as he denounced
what he believed to be unworthy of a
lawyer and a statesman? Jefferson
was not of a forgiving type, and his
ill will toward Jackson was handed
down as a legacy to Madison. This
is not recorded in state papers, yet
it is tolerably well known.
In 1813 Andrew Jackson received an
order from the war department to
disband his troops. This meant that
. they might starve in the woods or
. be captured singly by 'the Indians
hence Jackson disobeyed the orders,
brought his men home and sent the
bills to the government. It was then
planned by the administration to re
fuse payment, and plunge Jackson
into bankruptcy because he would not
abandon his soldiers to the toma
hawk. Thomas H. Benton, the oracle
of a later Democracy, tells how he
came to the rescue. As justice did
not appeal to the Secretary of War,
Benton informed him that if Jackson
were ruined because he would not de
sert his men the stale of Tennessee
might be lost to the Democratic
party. Sullenly the Secretary of War
yielded, and Jackson was not plund
ered of his last dollar for an act of
humanity. A soldier should always
speak respectfully of the war depart
ment, and vague traditions indicate
that Jackson sometimes forgot this.
A man who has made'-a good deal
of money without much work can
understand why anybody can’t make
a good deal of money without much
work. _ *

WATERPOWER
BOARD SOON
I OPERATION
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7 (by Asso
ciated Press).—Regulations for the
administration of the federal act
opening up the country’s vast water
power resources to private develop
ment are now being drafted. As
soon as they are completed the water
power commission, composed of the
secretaries of war, interior and agri
culture, will hold hearings on them.
The commission, of which Secretary
Baker has been appointed chairman
by President Wilson, will hold its
first meeting immediately upon Sec
retary Payne’s return from Alaska.
The hearings and the regulations will
be pushed as speedily as possible so
that the water power legislation,
which has been ten years in the mak
ing, can be put into effect without un
due delay.
The tentative regulations are being
drawn up by a special committe ot
the war, interior and agriculture de
partments. It is composed of Major
General Enoch H. Crowder, repre
senting the war department; O. C.
Merrill, water power expert in the
forestry service, who has been desig
nated executive secretary of the com
mission, and H. A. Stabler, of the in
terior department.
Members of the committee say the
regulations will be extensive and that
they probably will be announced in
series, with open hearings on each
group before they are made final.
Those relating to form and condition
of application for survey permit or
licenses will be the first announced.
The most difficult problem involved
in drawing up the regulations, mem
bers cf the committee say, is that of
| establishing a uniform system of ac
counting for licenses as required by
the act.
Under the water power bill the com
mission is empowered to issue licen
ses for a period not exceeding 10
years. The licensees \vill pay the gov- j
ernmcnt reasonable annual charges
in an amount to be fixed by the com
mission. Upon the expiration of any
license the government, if two years’
notice in writing has been given by
the commission, will have the right
to take over and operate any water
povei development after payment of
the net investment of the licensee in
the project or projects taken, not to
exceed the fair value of the property
plus such reasonable damages, if any,
to property of the licensee as may be
caused by the severance therefrom of
property taken.
In cases where such notice has not
been given* the government also will
have the right to take over upon mu
tual agreement with the licensee any
property developed under the terms
of the bill subject to the payment of
the net investment.
