: RAINBOW CHASING.

Inc Views OF MT. SWHnZy dS W tut
duty of the Chamber OF Commerce and
the local press In trying to get for this
part of the United States exemption
from the operation of laws which APP
ply to all other parts, are presented
elsewhere in this paper. They are not
only the opinions of Mr.. Swanzy, but
they have been adopted by the Cham
Der of Commerce and form the basis OF
a memorial to Congress. As such,
individually and collectively, they are
entitled to n fair hearing.
Mr.. Swanzy's contention is, II we In
terpret 1t rightly. that. to find the pot of
gold on the end OF rainbow would be
a good thing for this community, hence
the wisdom of all going in chase Of the
pot. For ourselves we do not regard
such n chase as worth while. The
Advertiser wants to go after something
attainable and would be glad to join
the Chamber OF Commerce in such
quest-in an effort, for example. to
secure low ocean rates for tourists
by pledging to any line or lines that
would grant them enough freight bust
ness to make the venture pay.
In treating the proposal by the
Chamber of Commerce to seek relief
from the operation of the United
States navigation laws, this paper con-
coded the good which the community
would get from such a measure. But
the laws of the United States are not
devised for single communities but for
the whole country; are not designed
to confer merely local benefits but the
greatest good to the greatest number.
