..Speyer s. Co. should have been
aware of the poverty OF the Frisco and
of its difficulties in obtaining funds"
The insolvency of the Frisco, the re-

SEEKS LAW TO BREAK
MONOPOLY ON RADIuM
Secretary Lane Says It Is Duty
of Government to Re
duce Price.

In-A-
Washington, Jan. 27-SecTetary Lane
sold the House mines committee today
that congress should break up the mo
nopoly that keeps radium at a fabu-
|lously prohibitive price" and enact leg
lslation to put the curative mineral on
the market cheaply for large numbers
of sufferers.
Secretary Lane declared it was the
governments duty to get all the ra-
alum 1t could.
He combatted arguments against
withdrawal of lands, saying there was
no intention of setting aside q vast
AREA. nor to lock up the mineral or
lands indefinitely, but simply to get
radium out for public use where it
would not be in the hands of a mo-
nopoly.
Secretary Lanes proposal was to di-
vide q certain area into tracts OF 800
acres, allow exclusive licenses to pros
pect and If a prospector found radium.
to allow him all the usual rights except
that the government would take 20 or
rs per cent of the radium obtained. He
would also nave the government have
absolute control over a certain definite
area for the development of radium on
Its own initiative.

UNVEILS PLOT TO
AID STANDARD OIL

Washington, Jan. 27.-Charges that
the proposed increased freight rates on
Petroleum which eastern railroads are
asking the Interstate conn
mission to authorize. would discri1m1-
nate heavily against independent re-
fineries in favor of the Standard Oil
company. were made today at a hear
ing of shippers by F. w. Boltz, traf-
ffc manager of the National Petroleum
association, an organization of 40 odd
companies.
Boltz testified that the railroads had
made no attempt to put through a hcr-
iZontal increase of 5 per cent, the de-
gree of advance for which they are
applying, but that the tariffs they are
asking the commission to approve con-
tanned increases varying from 2 per
cen to 10 per cent. He presented a
mass of figures and tables, which he
declared would show that wherever the
increases affected points in which COM
petition was involved W the
Standard and the independent, the
Standard had been favored.
Bruin, Pa, the location of IN indie
pendent oil plant, was cited as an ex-
the new rates proposed by the Balti-

great disadvantage in competing with
shipments from Oil City and Franklin,

PRESIDENT EXPLAINS HIS
VIEWS ON HOLDING COMPANIES

Washington. Jan. 27.-Nothing In
PRESIDENT Wilson's trust program
against holding companies will be in
tended to a anything that Is not in
nature and spirit a monopoly" Presi-
dent Wilson today indicated this. He
pointed out a sweeping prohibition Of
hold1ng companies would naturally af.
1ect concerns which had been requested
TO organize subsidiary companies to
comply with certain state laws. The
president let it be known that where
such business was carried on by prac-
t1cally the some company there would
be no restriction on it.
he emphasized as the governing
principle in the whole question that
corporations organized and merged
with others for purposes of monopoly
or restraint Of rad would be clearly
barred and that those which obviously
did not interfere with interstate com
merce would be let alone.
The purpos of the administration
would be. the president declared, to let
things grow that grew naturally and
l~egitinlately.
With respect to the proposed inter
state trade commission, the president
cleared up various impressions Of it
by saying it would not be an admin
istrative body, but one of publicity and
information. He salt It would have
no possible conflict with any other de-
partlnent of the government, because
It would not have the right to act In
n the feld of any other constituted
authority.
The president does not believe the
commission should give publicity to
the legitimate methods of business OF
n concern of which rivals might
take advantage.

of view the situation in Mexico is
SLOWLY changing n the Huerta gov

cay
There is no particular development
or critical situation in the Mexican
problem or any other foreign question,
the president explained today, which
mas caused him to call the Senate for
elgn relations committee into confer

on foreign affairs was the reason given
Tor the meeting. the president making
IL plain that, although he had tried to

a rather systematic attention to for
relations. The president has a
memorandum for tonight's conference
covering a variety of subjects.
~ was learned incidentally that the
question OF a new treaty with Russia
mas not been preached and that The
subject would probably await the ar
bassador.
The American government, it is
understood from the White House, is
On the way to a satisfactory settlement
With Colombia for the partition of
Panama. No immediate recommends
tion to congress is in contemplation by
the president in connection with the
tolls question, but 1t was one
or the subjects to be taken up at to-
nights conference. The unratiied ar
b~ltration treaties, the president also
expects to talk over with the senators
as Wen as the Japanese alien land con.
troversy.
1t was learned IN that connection
that, although the question of a new
treaty with japan has been discussed
informally, no formal suggestion has
come from Japan.

Official Paper
NOME, ALASKA. FEBRUARY 6. 1914

We hear good deal these da&, "hcut business and business prosperity ahd kindred topics. What is business anyway? Ebert Hubbard says that h'siness is supplying other people vents. That sounds like a very logical and clear definition of the term. sup plying other peoples wants.
 Arguing from this premise then II would seem that the next logical de dGction to be made was that where tNcr there were people with wants to ne supplied business would he good. provided the people had the where withal to purchase what they needed
 In every place where a town has sprung up there has been some reason fer its being and the reason is usually that II Is where it is for the purpose ut business of supplying peoples wants Nome is nesting here on the shores of Bering set for no other purpose in the world than supplying peoples wants When there are many people with many wants Nome prospcrs When there are few people with few wants Nome declines.
 There is only one thing in the world that will. or can, bring people into any scction Of the country. That is the possibility of increasing their worldly possessions or of earning a living wage Az long as there was an impression abroad that this could be done on the Seward Peninsula there were plenty of people ready to come in here with money. There is never any trouble aho ut getting people to go anywhere or to invest money in anything when they can be shown that they have a reason - able chance to earn a living or to in . crease their capital by investment.
 When the people from outside came into this country to invest or to work they brought prosperity to Nome. which was in the business of supply ing peoples wants. When people stop ped coming here to work or to invest the prosperity of Nome fell off accor- dingly.
 It is very evident, then, that all that is needed to restore the prosperity to Nc me is to attract capital for invest rnent or people of smaller means who are looking for opportunities and are willing to take chances.
 What has Nome to offer these pros pective investors? Nothing in the world at present but what nature has hidden in the hills and along the creeks Of the surrounding country. That is what put Nome where she was located in the first place and it is obviously the only thing so far as is at present known which offers any reason for her existance.
