X SUGGESTION

Not that we have desire and much less craving for 'buttiu in or in anyway interfering with the old order of things but t seems to us that some of our business men need protection in the way of equalization Of license lees. lt IS no secret among the residents here that there are people who conduct the same business un- der license fee forty times less than IS fe- ouired of others
 Equality Is Che very essence or taxation The man who is required to pay certain license fee to do business iu KetchiSan cannot com pete with another who does not and sooner or later the disadvantage will tell with such force as GO compel the former Co close up shop is true that the injured has the inherent right to complaint it is also true that there may be reasons why he does not: but which have noIn- ing Go do with the case when the power to regu- late justice rests with body of men fully me formed in the premises. The unsolicited ir- terferrence would be that much more agreeable to the injured.-( (Netchkan ProsressiveJ
 The simple remedy for all of which IS 'iuh Ter ritorai form of government such as Che Alaska Leg sature has asked for by that were nearly unani nous. After an that remedy is one that would cure SO many Of the governmental ms in Alaska there should be marked improvement as soon as Delegate Wicker ha mshau have carried into effect the expressed desire of the Alaska Legislature that such a government be extended Go this Territory.

Those who have followed Delegate wickershom in his announced intention to ask for Statehood for Alas ka should not forget that his latest known deelaf"uo" on the subject that will be unable to get 1t for several years They should consider that also inreoa necton with his statement at Juneau that iu Terri torial form of government would be,so expensive that it would ~eat the hearts the people The Delegate has left his supporters holding Che sack

The winning class On account of the
unusual importance attached TO the
service of tires in automobile racing,
there is q great deal OF interest dis
played among motorists as to which
OF the tires are on the winning cars.
A remarkable demonstration Of the
efficiency of automobile tires was the
performance of the Goodrich Silver

Vanderbilt races. The Exposition

hard on tires. the asphalt surface for

the efficiency Of the present type OF

the fact that very few stops had to be
made and then only for puncture or
two shows that the tires being manu-.
featured today can withstand any kind
of a test.
The Silvertown cords are made TO
increase the speed OF any automobile
and the drivers who used these tires
in the Vanderbilt and Grand Prix
races are enthusiastic over the re-
suits they gave. These tires not only
increased the speed of the machines,
but they also proved exceptionally safe
on the wet course during the Grand
Prix race. They would not skid and
they held the cars to the course with.
out any particular effort on the part OF
the drivers
This type of tire is undoubtedly one
of the greatest advance steps ever
made in the manufacturing of automo-
bile tires and as result OF the sue.
cess which they have made in road
races and in other tests they have Gre
