Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, MAY 14, 1914.

The congress of the United States is composed of as representative body ot citizens as it is possible to assem. ble in one gathering. or intelligence ability and honesty of purpose it would probably be impossible to find tfelr superior in any legislative body cn earth. But even in such a gath ering it has often happened that in- tCllectual freaks have been found, and the state of Washington has furnish ed more than her share of these. Rep resentative Falconer of Washington. who is described as progressive, last week introduced in the house q bill prohibiting the sale and manufacture of intoxicating liquors in the territory of Alaska. Had this bill been intro Cuced by representative of Maine, kansas or Iowa there might have been found some excuse for it's au- ttor; but coming from a congressman of a state which does not enjoy the supposed blessings of prohibition, it is either the result of a most benign sclicitude for our welfare, an instance of unwarranted effrontery or the pro- duct of an added brain. with the chances strongly in favor of the latter
 One of the most jealously guarded t! American institutions is that of local self-government. It was upon tbis issue that he war of the revolu- tion was fought and it was this aues- ton that caused the rupture between the states. It is founded upon the idea that the people of given locality know best their own needs and wishes and are best able to administer their own affairs. Congress has provided Alaska with legislature and a meas ure of local government, and while the acts of this legislature are some- what circumscribed. 1t yet has tho power to express the wishes of the people. We recall no act of our leg islature which would warrant the pre- srmptuous congressman from Wash ipgton in the belief that prohibition is desired by the people of this ter ritory. This being true. the bill of NIT. Falconer were 1t enacted into law, would constitute an act of tyranny of the most despotic nature.
 The worst feature of these legisla- tive freaks is their willingness to cur tail the rights and privileges of others without in any way interfering with their own. The district of Columbia. in which the capital of the nation is located. Is governed more or less di- r"ctly by congress, its citizens having TO word in the administration of It's affairs It would be an easy matter for congress to enforce prohibition fin

An English expert, reviewing the rast years business development, de- clared the passage of the new tariff bill and the enactment of currency leg ic;ation to be the worlds most im- portant commercial events in 1913.
 The far-reaching influence of sucl measures is more readily appraised atroad than at home. Naturally. Am. ericans regard the effects upon his country as of primary importance.
 But the foreign observer. less con cerned with the domestic application Of such measures. views them from the standpoint of world trade and is able to appreciate their gigantic ef- feet on all of modern commerce ard industry.
 Great Britain. of course, has hailed the tariff as step toward that frfe trade condition that she has main- tained for long years. The American ?. more closely acquainted with the real springs behind the moving procession o: events. is less inclined to admit the eventual trend of change. even though he may be supporter of the demo- cratic policy.

CurtaiIment of Building
Operations

|
In the current number of the
Chicago Reflector the Hon. Free
A. Britton, M. c., discusses the
question whether living is chea.
per and times better now than
they were under the Republican
administration. His reply is in
the negative as to both phases of
the question. Among the preg-
nant facts he gives is the fol-
lowing:
'The best barometer of the
money market is the Building
Department in Chicago's City
Hall, where | am told fewer
building permits are being issued
than during any like period in
the past ten years. When the
building mechanics are out of
work, the butcher, grocer, and
other fellows feel it first, and
from them the hardship follows
down the line to nearly every
walk in life, including the farm
er. Real Democratic times is
becoming the by-word.
Building operations in Nov
emher, as shown in the official
statements of permits issued
fro41 63 cities received by The
American Contractor, Chicago,
reach total value of $38, ,O66, 523,
compared with $52, 768,O54 for
November last year, decrease
of 28 per cent. This is the sharp
est decline in any one month this
year. New York fell from $13,-
787, 972 in November, 1912, to
Sc, 847, 766 in November this
year. Chicago slumped from
81, ,625, 900 to Sc, 49O, 700; Boston
from So, ,567, 1886 to 81, ,O63, ,225. A
few cities show increases, among
them being Cleveland, Columbus
and Toledo, but Cincinnati, Ak
ron and Dayton show curtail-
ment. The returns from the 63
cities tabulated show that from
January l to December l, 1918,
the total of the building opera
tions amounted to $566, 742, 855,
against $644, 1O2, 2O3 for the same
period in 1924 falling off of

A canvass on a large scale made

also that the trade outlook for
