OFFICIAL FAMILY ATT OUTS
If rumors trickling out of Juneau are to be believed,
ther* is dissension and inharmony in the official family,
including the Governor, the Treasurer and Auditor.
It is said to be a matter of authority vested in the |
Board of Control by the Legislature and its interpreta
tion,. wherein it is claimed the Auditor is assuming the
role oi Comptroller and acting accordingly. This, it is
said, is not at all what the Legislature meant.
Now comes a report to the effect that two members of j
the last Senate have addressed a questionnaire to His Ex- j
cellency, the Governor, asking by what authority he is
holding up funds appropriated for a given purpose and
with no strings tied to them.
It will be recalled that four appropriation bills passed
by the last Legislature carried riders, giving the Gover
nor discretionary powers which set forth that the expendi
ture shall be made provided, in his judgment and that of
the Territorial Engineer, they “are feasible, practicable,
necessary, etc.”
It was predicted at the time that trouble would en
sue Apparently it is at hand.
In the meantime, it is claimed the Board of Control
meetings resemble the gathering of a bunch of strange
dogs, all walking around stiff-legged, trying to decide
upon whether to flee, fraternize or fight.
STRANGE HEARST TALK
All who read Hearst newspapers know that their edi
torial policy is generally quite demagogic. In their pro
fessed zeal for the welfare of the dear people they usually
advocate soaking the “interests” and the so-called “trusts”
without mercy.
But now listen to this from an editorial published in
Hearses New York American of October 26:
“One of the most useful contributions of Congress would
be such revision of the system of Federal taxes as would do
most to hearten business men and quicken the spirit of enter
prise.
“Obviously, a scheme of punitive taxation, with vast in- j
creases in the already high rates on personal and corporation
taxes, would serve only to deepen the depression.
“On the other hand, an announcement of a plan for reduc
ing such rates would come as the very breath of spring to busi
ness executives, and would help to create a psychological back
ground for trade improvement.”
Now, that is strange talk, coming from Hearst, but it
is just what most fair-minded persons have been contend
ing all along. If the larger business and industrial enter
prises are taxed and regulated to the point where reason
able profits are impossible, capital for expansion and im
provements becomes more difficult to obtain.
There is no doubt that excessive taxation and exces
sive regulation are responsible for many of our present
economic ills. It seems that it is about time for our legis
lators to give business and industry a respite from fur
ther harassment, and allow them to work out their prob
lems with a minimum of governmental interference.
Without great and prosperous business enterprises
we can have no great payrolls and without great payrolls
we can have no satisfactory measure of general prosper
ity. So, .for. once, we can whole-heartedly endorse a
Hearst editorial, the substance of which is: Give business
a rest and an opportunity to get on its feet once more.
The announcement that Hoover and Laval under-!
stand each other indicates that the President has im
proved his French and Laval can talk English with his
hands in his pockets.
They might as well cease crying for disarmament.
The Sheiks and Shebas just won’t stand for it.
