THE LICENSE QUESTION

The census to determina the opin- ion of the citizens of Valdez on the question of license or TO license in the town for the ensuing year will begin tomorrow, and every person will be given an opportunity to ex- press his or her choice as to whether the town shall be wet or dry.
 There is, in our opinion, little doubt that Valdez will be a license town during the coming year, and one of the strongest arguments in favor of the granting of licenses is the fact that the town is sadly in need Of the money. The city is deeply in debt, and if the new council is to accom- plish it's declared policy of clear ing up this indebtedness, it must have every dollar possible. If depriv- ed of the four thousand dollars which will accrue to the city from licenses the council will have to raise the val nation of the assessable property of the town by s2OO,O0O to replace the amount. or else do without the mon- ey, and property is already assessed at about it's full value. It will add a heavier burden to the taxpayer, and this burden is already heavy enough.

CRISIS IS REACHED.

Things have come to such pass in Mexico that it is incumbent on the United States to withdraw it's forces and declare the whole Villa incident a fiasco or 10 give vigorous hint to Carranza that the American object in pursuing Villa will be continued ire spectiva of the lack Of cooperation and ill-conceaied resentment on the part of the Carranza government A critical point in the whole episode has been reached and the decision of the Washington government may have a far-reaching effect on our re- lations with Mexico.
 It is so persistently rumored that the punitive force will be withdrawn that the denials of high officials only emphasize the rumors, There may be no intention on the part of the ad- ninistration to confess failure, but events at the capital during the lat ter part of last week gave rise to speculation as to the real plans of the government in regard to the ex- petition.

The senate rejected an amendment to the tariff providing for a duty on coal tar. The amendment was sup ported by the republicans and oppos- ed by the democrats. Since the Eu- ropean war began the shortage of dye stuffs, which come principally from coal tar, has been keenly felt through out this country. The dyestuffs in- dustry is now virtually monopolized by Germany, but American capital would be willing to compete with the Germans if accorded assurance that it would be protected. This protection the republicans want to. extend in or der that the United States may be in dependent of the German manufac- turers. However. the democrats, who happen to be in the majority say no. The result is that we shall muddle along until the war is over and then leave Germany in undisputed control of an industry that should be encour- aged in this country, and would be were tariff matters taken out of poli-

The British, not content with seiz- ing and censoring American mails in geenral. are now opening mail sent to the American embassy in Berlin, and the members Of the embassy are suf- fering great inconvenience owing to the confiscation of their checks by the British authorities. Many things might be justified. but when Uncle Sam's money to his employees is seiz- ed by an alien country it is time to make vigorous protest.

FARMERS TOUR BENSON
COUNTY; SEE ALFALFA
Two Hundred Make Trip Conducted
Under Direction of State and coun-
ty Agriculturists.

Leeds.-An alfalfa tour" the pur-
pose of which was to impress on the
farmers of this county the Importance
and value of growing alfalfa, was con-
Quoted through Benson county, over
hundred farmers participating in the
tour, which was made by automobile
under the direction of w. r. Porter of
the state agricultural college, and
Harry j. Boyts, county agricultural
agent, and was completed in two days.
All told, the farmers visited sixteen
farms on which alfalfa is being grown,
the greatest of these being the Hugh
Peoples tract of 500 acres of alfalfa
and sweet clover The farmers were
impressed with the splendid condition
of the alfalfa, and it is almost certain
that next year will see a marked in
crease in the acreage.

Bismarck.-If Pres. Wilson calls for
volunteers, as is strongly indicated in
messages which Governor L. B. Hanna
has received, there will be no trouble
raising another regiment in North Da-
kota. There will be no trouble" said
the governor. "Since the North Dako-
ia national guard began modifying,
have received innumerable letters from
every section of the state, offering as
sistance in organizing new companies.
These letters have come from indi-
viduals, from cities and from COM
mercial clubs. Mott, Beach. Cando and
other cities have asked for permission
to organize new companies. Many in
dividuals, among them several from
Grand Forks, have asked the same
privilege.
North Dakota people have respond
ed periodically and magnificently. Ev-
erywhere they are interested and 1t
would be but few days work to or
ganize another regiment"
Governor Hanna also stated that the
first regiment was steadily being re-
cruited up to war strength.
The executive would give no definite
information as to when the national
guard would be called south or to
which camp they would go.

prospects for crop are now excep-
