CURRENT COMMENT
The Russian Situation.

1t has been hastily assumed by news
papers in this country that the change of
control in Russia, accomplished rapidly
and almost without bloodshed will be
followed by new, unanimous and effec-
tive zeal in behalf of the war. 1t is pos
sible that the miracle of the revolution is
to be followed by other miracles, but it
is well to remember that those who have
been removed from power still have
sources of strength, and it is almost too
much to hope that what has taken place
will be accepted as final by those who
are to suffer in prestige, power and for
tune by the oyerturn.
Moreover, among those who have now
regained their right to talk and write
and think are thousands who are OPP
posed to all wars of conquest, who have
no more liking for Great Britain than
they have for Germany, who believe that
Russia's first and only thought hereafter
should be for her own rehabilitation and
who may insist that world peace be dis
cussed promptly and sincerely as sub
stitute for world slaughter.
Those who assume that that operative
of great nation can be
completely, inside of one
week, by revolution, without an after
math of dissension and, possibly, blood.
shed, are assuming more than the history
of the world warrants. And yet they
may be exactly right. Since the summer

Corporation Control Thing of the Past"


There are some things developing in
the present legislature that are, TO say
the least, very refreshing as indicating
the independence OF the members and the
freedom from corporate or other control
One striking illustration of this was
the action OF the House on Friday in or
dering to a third reading House bill Ill,
entitled, IAN act regulating the rights
and duties of railroad and express com
panies relating to customs house broker
age"
II reports are true, this bill has been
opposed with one of the most extensive
Hobbies ever sent to the capital by the
combined railroads of this state. vet the
House by a very substantial majority
ordered the bill TO a third reading on
Saturday morning.
Whatever the merits of the measure
may be, it is evident that a good ma.
jority of that body believed that some
thing was wrong and had the courage to
say so by their actions, prompted solely
by spirit Of fairness.
II is known that at a hearing before
the House committee, as well as from
sworn testimony taken last summer be-
fore an examiner Of the interstate COM
merce commission, it appeared that at
least one railroad had made practice
Of deliberately changing or procuring the
of eonsignments made to GER
tain customs house brokers, inserting
their own brokers name after erasing
the name Of the original consignee, and
on neither occasion was il denied that this
had been done more than a thousand
times" II was admitted frankly by this
road in its answer to a complaint made
10 the Interstate commerce commission
hat il refused TO expense forward the
.harges aud duties for an independent
broker when it was the universal prac-
ice 10 do 80 fer their own.
These practices resulted naturally in a
monopoly OF the business and in the pub
ic being denied the advantages derived |
rom the keen competition which always |
'esults in better service and more equit |
Ible rates
ON such a showing il Is not surprising /
hat the House took the action referred /
o. but il Indicates a remarkable change /

BANK OF ALASKA HAS BUSY DAY

Yesterday was one of the busiest days, if not the busiest, in the history of the the Bank of Alaska at Skagway. The individual depos- it's for Skagway alone topped any preceding record of the Bank and evidenced a most healthy condi- tion in the business life of the Cl- tv. The fact that the deposits came from a large number of in dividuals and did not represent the transfer of large funds from one 'in- stitution to another was the most gratifying part of the days business
 Skagway' splendid revival in bus mess was the means of carrying the total deposits of the Bank of Alas ka over the Half Million mark the sar having reached $496,34S on Saturday. The total resources have also advanced since July lst, to approximately $640,00O,
