Politics at Their Worst
President Roosevelt and his blind-followers in congress,
including; Bop. Walter M. Fierce of Oregon, have little to be
proud of in their attitude toward and their tactics in opposing
the Hatch bill to regulate the political activities of govern
ment Job holders, which was passed by the house last night
after a bitter debate, which resulted in restoration or sev-
aral features that had been deleted from the original senate
bill by the house judiciary committee.
As it came from the senate several weeks ago the Hatch
bill expressly forbid all federal employes and officials, in
cluding supervisory or administrative officers from contri
buting to campaign funds or participating in political or
ganizations a provision aimed directly at United States

tails, and when tha headman spoke
iney immediately lost Interest In

Living Cost to Govern
The class by class workers will
have their respective uniform wage,

In Washington and Oregon will find
a cut in their pay check. Workers
in the south will have a substantial
Increase they draw about sat

Advantage of
Highway to
Alaska Studied
Vancouver. B. O.. July 31 (CP)
Advantage of routing a highway to
Alaska through British Columbia
was discussed Thursday In a brief
submitted by the Vancouver board
of trad to th Canadian section of
the International British Columbia
Alaska highway commission.
The commissioners returned Wed
nesday from a tour of northern
British Columbia and the Yukon,
where various proposed route were
surveyed.
The brief was devoted mainly to
discussion of advantages of a route
through British Columbia as against
on "wholly or almost wholly east
of this province."
With the meagre data available
on construction coat and division
of costs variously estimated at be
tween 114,000,000 and 136,000,000
between the government Involved,
th board felt It wa not In a posi
tion to pas Judgment on th merit
of building such a road at the pres
ent time.
Consideration of cost, mainten
ance, population In territorial ser
ved, development of natural resour
ces, usefulness as a tourist road, and
adaptlblllty to defense purposes wen
cited as th main considerations.
. Proximity of the road to th
coast by routing It through British -Columbia
waa urged a a means of
substantial saving In construction
cost as construction crews could
service It economically at several
point by relatively low transpor
tation connection from th coast
Th point mentioned wen Prince
Rupert Stewart the stlkln river
and Skagway, Alaska.
The board offered no comment
on military value of the road, stat
ing thl was a matter for militia
official. '
