Douglas Island news., 1910-11-09

On Monday, Secretary of the Interior Ballinger issued a statement in which he declared that the immediate open ing of the Alaska coal lands would materially aid the manufacturing and railroad interests of the Pacific Coast states and at the same time encourage settlers iu Alaska.
 An outcome of the feud between mining com panies back of Juneau was the issuance by Judge Lyons of an in- junction to the AIaska.Juneau Mining company, against the California-Ne- vada Copper company, enjoining the latter from interfering with the work now being carried on by the former company.
 Attorney General Wickersham and Secretary Nagle, of the department of commerce and labor, as result of their trip to Alaska, are united on the proposition that greater authority be located in some governing body in Alaska. As yet they have not had an opportunity fully to present the'r views to President Taft. They have talked to him in general, but not detailed, manner about the needs of the territory. They have expressed their belief in his view of the necessity for an appointive rather than an elec- tive form of government for Alaska but they have not been asked to assist in the preparation of any Alaska gov ernment bill The president is expect ed to urge congress to pass a bill sim liar to the one he had submitted laet session. Senator Beveridge, who had that bill in charge, gave his colleagues to understand that the president want ed it passed exactly as it was written. This was mistake, according to those close to the president. The bill was submitted merely as suggestive. It contained many defects that all ac- knowledge. Nevertheless the president is firmly convinced of the correctness of it's principle, which is the creation of an appointive commission, presided over by the governor, to govern Alaska. The observations of the two cabinet of- flcers who visited Alaska are that such a commission will solve the problem, providing that co ordination of effort that is essential. At present agents Of the following departments of the gov ernment are attempting to administer purely local matters in the territory, each absolutely independent of the other: Justice, commerce and labor, interior, war, agriculture and treasury. No important action can be taken by any without reference to Washington. Each officer spent much of his time in the territory Investigating the condi- tion of his own branch of the public service there. Both say they learned much of value to them. Both praise Gov. Walter D. Clark highly for the work he is doing. "He is an able and excellent official" said Attorney Gen. eral Wickersham, "and is rapidly grow ing in popularity with the people. AS they get to know him and to learn what manner of man he is they put their faith in him. We met him and his wife at Fairbanks, and iourned with them to Nome. Everywhere they won the affection and confidence of the people. The squareness of the governor, his up- right character, his frank and manly bearing commend him to all. He cer- tainly is making good"

AN lNTOLERABLE ITCHING

"Just about two years ago. some
form of humor appeared on my scalp.
The beginning was a slight itching but
1t grew steadily worse until, when |

Prices Not Governed by Tariff.

An official bulletin issued by the
bureau of statistics at Washington
shows an unmistakable tendency
downward in the price of certain com.
modities included among necessaries
of life. What is particularly notice
able in this exhibit is the decrease in
rates for imported articles. The bull
letin says: "A study of prices quoted
by the bureau of satisfies shows for
the latest available date n definitely
marked downward movement in re-
cent months" OF the articles affected
there are mentioned wool, wool car.
peting, boards, copper pigs and ingots.
rubber, Manila hemp and a whole lot
Of other things which come from
abroad. On the other hand. the same
trend is indicated as regards numer.
GUS domestic products. among which
may be mentioned various grains.
-four. copper in different shapes. cot.
ton cloths. steel billets. rails and
other shapes. and so on. OF course
many causes contribute to the fiuctu-
ations in prices which are reported In
this country and elsewhere. But the
direct and very pointed significance
of the official report from the bureau
OF statistics Is that It refutes most
emphatically the contention that
prices are governed by our tariff and
that recent advances were due to the
present law. And. further. the facts
place the lay.it-all.to.the-tariff growl.
ers in dilemma from which there is
no escape except by frank confession
that they have been wrong. II. as
they have asserted, the tariff sent
prices up. must they not. to be con-
sistent, admit that the tariff. which is
still the same. has brought prices
down? What is the logic OF their
argument, anyway?

COUNTRY AWAKE TO DANGER
Increase of Sanatoria and Hospitals
for Consumptives Is Most
Gratifying.

The growth of the crusade against
tuberculosis in the United States is
shown to good advantage in the two
directories that have been issued by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis and
the one in preparation. The first tu-
beculosis directory published in 1904,
by the tuberculosis committee of the
New York Charity Organization Socie-
ty and the National Association listed
1873 sanatoria and hospitals for con-
sumptiyes in the United States, for
some of which preliminary provision
only has been made. The combined
capacity of these institutions was
only 5000 beds. Thirty-two special
dispensaries and thirty-nine anti-tu-
berculosis organizations summed up
practically all Of the fighting force
enumerated in the first directory.
The second directory was prepared by
the National Association for the Study
and Prevention Or Trrhsret..es!s.-sad
Russell Sage Foundation in August.
1908. This directory listed 240 sana-
toria and hospitals. an increase of
107 from the former directory; 15S
dispensaries, an increase of 1876; and
1876 associations, an increase of 1856.
The number of hospital beds listed
in 1908 was 14,0l4.
The new directory that will be Is
sued soon, will list over 400 sanatoria
and hospitals with bed capacity of
nearly $4,000; more than 800 special
tuberculosis dispensaries; and fully
450 anti-tuberculosis associations and
committees. Since the first directory
was issued in 1904, the increase in
the number of agencies fighting con-
sumption aggregates nearly 500 per
cent
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis
would like to get in touch with all
agencies engaged in the fight against
tuberculosis, in order that they may
be listed in the new directory.

FACTS ABOUT FREE TRADE

Best for the interests Of the
Country.

Here and there a Democratic can
didate takes courage from the seem.
ing drift toward his party and an.
nounces that he Is for free trade-not
for tariff reform, but for no tariff,
except. possibly. for revenue only.
Such tariff doctrine gets far. indeed
from the faults and shortcomings Of
the Payne-Aldrich law. grievous and
numerous as they are, in spite of its
betterme1st of the statute 1t replaced
and It's promise of further improve
ment under orderly and scientific In
vestigation and amendment. But when
the issue becomes free trade, 1t is
ly in the face.

trade countries into protective tariff
countries. They never go in the op.
posite direction. They know where

group also furnishes a surplus for ex.
port and at the advanced prices the
exports amounted to approximately
$4,000, 900.
This amount exported is much less
than for previous years. but the fact
that exports OF products OF the farm

Eplarammatle and Silly.

which there has been practically no
change in tariff in the past ten years.
Neither have there been any changes
during the past twenty years which

NOT DUE TO TARIFF
FACTS IN REGARD TO ADVANCE
IN PRICES.
For Political Ends, Democrats Have
Fostered Misconception in This
Regard-The Truth as Shown
by Government Statistics.

The tariff seems to have been no
material factor in causing the ad-
vance in prices during the past dec
ade. The greatest advances have been
made in commodities upon which the
tariff has little or no effect, and the
absolute removal of the tariff on many
of these commodities could not have
afforded relief at the present time,
for the reason that prices of these
commodities. with few exceptions,
were as high or higher in other coun-
tries than in the United States.
The advance In prices during the
past ten years appears to have no re-
lation to tariff legislation. Beginning
with January, 1900, wholesale prices
in general declined slightly. and the
decline continued through July, 1901.
Beginning with August, 1901, prices
advanced very slowly through March,
1903, and then remained steady
through May. 1905. Beginning with
June. 1905. there was a marked in
crease through October, 1907. Begin
ming with November. 1907, prices be-
gan to decline and the decline con-
tinued through August, 1908. Begin
ming with. September. 1908. prices
steadily advanced until the highest
point during the ten years was
reached in March, 1910.
The advance in 1909 as compared
with 1900. by groups of articles, was
