INTERFERENCE WITH MAILS.

Once again has this country been obliged to protest against England's seizure of our mails, opening them and confiscating whatever articles her war-lords choose to take for their own uses. If we ever needed a navy for any purpose it would be to com- pei other nations to let our ships alone; to travel unmolested to any port they may desire. Since the birth of this nation, every petty monarch of the old country has handled our shipping in any manner he chose, knowing that we could not help our selves. If this country cannot send its mails to neutral nations without from other countries 1t is time she shut up shop and flew the flag of some other nation for protec- tion on the high seas.

Nothing has done SO much to make Germany self-reliant as her econom- ic policy. Nothing has done so much to build up her industries in almost infinite variety as the protection sys- tenn she has followed. Poverty is al- most unknown in Germany. Want is never felt. Dirty streets and slovenly buildings are never seen. The wealth of the nation has been built solely upon a protective tariff. It seems to us that the fact that the German peo- pie in this crisis can loan their gov ernment s6,25O,0Oo,o0o for war pur- poses, while allied nations are seek ing money elsewhere than at home, affords a striking argument in favor of protection-Philadelphia Tele- graph.

THE VALUE OF PROTECTION.

1 It is significant fact that the third German war loan, amounting to l$3,OO0,OOO,OO0, has all been sub- scribed by the German people, and this brings the total loans, subscrip- ed in similar way for war purposes up to $6,250,000,O00. This third German loan is the greatest financial operation in history.
 The fact that it was all subscribed within Germany is not only an evil dence of the country-love of the Ger man people, but there is in it les son for those statesmen and politi- clans in the United States who have been and still are arrayed against the policy of protection, and a lesson for the political party which has sought to break down the protection system and has by it's legislation done so much to distress the business of this country, to the advantage of the in- dustries of other countries.
 Germany has pursued policy of protection and of governmental as- sistance of industrial enterprises. Under that policy her people have built up their manufactures so thor oughly that previous to the war they had a trade over so much of the world and of such proportions as to threaten the commercial prestige of England. More than that, Germany undertook practically every possible line of industry, with the result that when the war came and shut her off of the sea she was better able than any other nation to rely upon her own resources.
 Now that the government needs the money it gets it from the German people, who have it because under the protection system they have not paid it to other peoples for what they could and do make themselves. Ger many is big manufacturing center. She manufactures her own war mu- nitions, auto trucks, hospital SUD- plies; in short, all that is needed for war purposes, and the money for it is expended among the German people, while the allies, and particularly free trade England, is sending millions of dollars here for munitions and other supplies.

Judge Brown in recent cases but where the right of appeal is given it is much easier to get the matter be- fore the court, and the court would feel justified in making reductions on a lesser weight of evidence than if the whole matter simply rested on principles of equity. ...

The Valdez Public Schools will close Thursday for the mid-winter Holidays, school resuming January 3, 1916. The holiday will be greeted with joy by pupils and teachers alike, as the past few months have been filled with hard work for all. Valdez has a most excellent public school system and her scholars are up to the standard of the larger schools in the states. A most excellent staff of teachers is employed, and the rela- tions between pupil and teacher are most cordial. ..

TIGHTENING THE CINCH.

It is expected that the town coun-
 at its meeting this evening will
 .ss a proposed amendment to Ordi-
 nee No. 81 of the town of Valdez,
 oviding for the assessment and levy taxes, by striking out Section II, .lich provides for an appeal to the strict court from decisions of the sard of equalization on tax assess S,nts. The proposed amendment s.s introduced at the last meeting of &s council and referred to the com ttee on law and ordinance, and it Ell be no doubt reported back to- Syht for the action of the council. Eff the ordinance is amended as opposed it will place the assessment property for taxation almost abso- stely in the hands of majority of @ board of equalization, because un- IT the decisions almost universally
 ade court of equity will not in-
 rfere with an assessment of prop ty and decisions made by the pro- 1T officers unless it is so glaringly equal or unjust as to be uncon- 3nable. Without special provision r appeal, therefore, four men con- ituting a majority of the town
 uncil and board of equalization can lite the assessment roll almost with 1t let or hindrance. They have this ,wer because they can take the fig
 es of the assessor and raise or low
 them in their discretion. It would tt make any difference whether the UT men were responsible or irre- onsible, financially or otherwise, if .ey happened to constitute ma rity of the town council. ~,
 The rule laid down generally by Ee courts, we are told, is this, that though the judge believes an as- .,ssment is somewhat too high, it is 31proper for him to substitute his srsonal judgment for that of the as- .ssor and board of equalization. If ae assessment is unconscionably igh, then a court of equity will in- .rfere as it will with any other un- questionable act.
 The situation is this: If four men )nstituting a majority of the town )uncil and board of equalization loose to do it they can assess prop rty owned by people they do not ke 20 per cent higher than similar owned by their friends and lere would be no recourse, even in
 court of equity unless the assess rents were made on such large :ale that the inequity of it would be laring and notorious.
 It is true that even where an ap- cal from assessment is given by tatute or ordinance the courts would e reluctant to interfere, as held by

4 NON-PARTISAN TARIFF.

The United States faces deficit of eighty million dollars. That is to say, the country has run eighty million dollars behind its expenditures, and
 has this amount to make up, before 1t can wipe the slate clean for this ad-
 ministration: To raise this deficit is an impossibility under the present system of income. We have a war tax although we have no war; we have tax laid upon everything we eat and drink, although other nations by their hostile acts toward each oth CT are forcing us to pay it. To raise the necessary funds for the coming year it is proposed to still further increase the taxes A tax will be laid on gasoline, which is the same as tax ing our industries; tax will be put on incomes of $2,0OO, and perhaps lower; a tax will be put upon all notes and instruments, and even checks are included in the list of tax ation, although strong fight is be- ing made upon this by many con- gressmen. This could all be elimi- mated by placing an export tax upon war materials, causing foreign na- tions to help lift the burden they are imposing upon us, and by placing a protective tariff upon our industries. We do not favor this tariff as a dem- ocrat or republican measure, but as a measure free from politics. It is the bulwark of American indepen- dence; the strength of nation. It relieves the poor man from the neces- sity of carrying the burden imposed unnecessarily; it pays industries a premium, and guarantees that they will be protected from foreign inva- sion. By necessarily tinkering with the tariff both parties have kept the business of the country on so unsta- ble basis that a crisis has only been averted by placing petty taxes upon small articles used by the working man as we'll as the rich man. The income tax is another radical feature which threatens to place a double burden upon our nation. When, ulti- the tax is placed on incomes of from $25O to $500 it will cause upon those whom it taxes. A man with a million dollars can spare five per cent of it for taxes and still have enough left for T-bone steaks; the poor man who is forced to part with $500 or $1O.00 of his earnings will have to deny himself.
 By placing protective tariff upon all articles imported into this coun- try we will cut the Gordian knot of hard times. A non-partisan tariff, made up by tariff experts from both parties, and allowed to ride ten years by mutual agreement of all parties, would raise this country to a pima cle of wealth undreamed of. The scream of the saw would be again heard in our Pacific coast mills, and eastern factories would again hum with industry.
 The tariff has hitherto been made a party issue, but indications are that in the near future democrats as we'll as republicans will agree upon some measure which will allow the tariff to stand unmolested by either party.

No sooner was the work begun. how
ever. than German land battery OPEN
ed fire on the Crusade and she was COM
PEELED TO withdraw after an hour and
haiti of hot fire from the land batteries,
to which she made lively response.
The small boats thus deserted. with
seven officers aud thirty-eight mon
