THAT" CUSTOM HOUSE BLIGHT

The Daily Alaskan's editorial on the "Custom House Blight" has been mis- understood by few. It seems that It has been considered as reflection upon ,he manner of the enforcement Of the revenue laws in the north. Nothing Of the kind was intended. The Daily Alaskan believes that the customs service in Alaska is splendedly ofhcer- ed. It belives 1t is efficient, liberal energetic, and thoroughly honest It is doing its work in a manner that IS highly creditsble to all connected with it. Almost can the same be said Of the Canadian service. With one or two exceptions-lamented alike by Cana dians and Americans-the Dominion has splendid corps of men in the north who are as liberal ss the laws Of their country will permit them to be and their laws are as liberal in most respects ss our own.
 The intention of the Daily Alaskan was to show the utter lack of wisdom, from 8 business standpoint or any other, of the continuation of high tariff wall between the United States and Canada The intention was to illustrate the need for complete commercial union between the two countries.
 Free trade between the United States and Canada would facilitate the de- velo2mentof the commerce and resour- ces of both. It would remove one Of the most vexations and forbidding obstacles to trade that is existing. The means of transportation between the two countries has been solved. The border is crossed and re-crossed by rail- roads. But at the boundary, every where, the custom house stands, levy ing sn unnatural tribute, barrier to progress.
 The general proposition of protection is not involved in this question. Poli- tics are not involved. Free trade be- tween these two countries-commercial union-is advocated by democrats and republicans and by liberals and conser- vstiyes. It is urged by the best students in both countries. It is op. posed by those whose monoplies would be in danger were there a change.

A Considerable Saving.

In his farewell address, before
retiring from the gubernatorial
chair, Governor Heard offered
suggestions which are worthy the
attention of the present admins
tration. In part, he said that sin
1914 the entire bonded indebted
ness of the State, amounting to
$I1, los, 900, will fall due, and it
will be the part of wisdom to be-
gin, at least, to provide by proper
legislation for the liquidation of
this debt. either by exchange Of
the present 4 per cent. bonds for
a bond bearing lower rate of in
terest for limited number of
years. or. providing for the sale of
a new issue of bonds bearing, say.
8 per cent. interest, for term of
fifty years. = The adoption of
Governor Heard's suggestion
would save the State 800, 900
annually in interest.

Live Stock Laws.

At the coming session OF the
Houisiaaa Stock Breeders Asso-
citation and the State Agricultural
Society, to be held at Marksville.
Nav l, 2 and 8, resolutions Will
in all probability be adopted
urging the Legislature to adopt
some sanitary live stock laws to
prevent the introduction of dis
eased cattle into Louisiana. and
to prevent the spread of conta-
gious disease after it has made Its
appearance in this state. At
present Louisiana has practically
no sanitary live, stock laws and
no methods of preventing the
spread of disease among the live
stock in Louisiana. Several
efforts have been made in the
past to secure the passage of such
a law, but the bill has failed.
During the last year. however,
there has been great impetus &c
the live stock business IN Louis
ana, and extra efforts have been
made to secure an appropriation
from the National Government
to assist the state, in common
| with all other southern states, IN
extremlnating the cattle tick.
