was returned accompanied by long letter telling him that since there was charge for the collec- tion of the check, it could not be accepted by the government; hence it's return with penalty attached of nearly two dollars, and demanding payment by return mail.
 While this may be the rule prescribed by the administration, why was it delayed that long ? That check must have reached it's destination not later than the tenth. There still remained five days in which to pay the tax without pen- alty. Why wasn't the man notified? If busi- ness in the collectors office was such as to make it impossible to attend to this particular check at once, then why add the penalty? It wasn't the taxpayers fault. Aside from that, there is the fact of misrepresentation which is that there is a collection charge by the bank on checks from Alaska business men. This man claims that he has been paying by checks for years, and this is the first time, his check has been returned But what is the use, ineficiency is the rule with the present administration and not the exception So in all our dealings with the various govern mental bureaus, always expect to get the worst end of the stick, is the advice of the man who was mulcted out of two dollars.

WASTING SALMON.
Seattle Post-Intelligencer)

The news that salmon is being wasted at Neah bay for lack of market is calculated to feeling resentment that all too frequntly seeks find scape- goat This is the general effect of the knowledge that food is being wasted and especially fish, for most of us are of the opinion that fish in the Seattle market has been too high and that the business has not been with out it's profteers Nevertheless it be admitted that the fishing business is of the least amendabe price fixing, and that under such system waste is likely to occur.
 This is due to the fact that in the business there one element of pure luck-the fish. Once the fish taken the business proceeds with than the nary uncertainties of but to begin with the fish must he caught and in the catching chance rules When prices fixed it obviously necessary assure the man who takes the first risk-the isherman-that he will get price that will tempt him risk his invest men and his time. And in this it is necessary com pete with the high prevailing shore. The fish ing business must be made attractive to the fisherman and the only to do that is to him good price for his catch.
 Presumably the canners, the wholesalers and re. taers likewise safeguarded they would be in the business All in the fish line would be we though expensive for the consumer if the fish themselves subject to the food controller But being incorrigbly independent they permit themselves caught when ever and wherever thy fit, and with regard for ecomc circumstances The result may-thus easily be that the fisherman has oversupply of tempory under conditions where the various middlemen, who stand him and the consumer cannot their bus mess at profit The consequence good fish is wasted while the consumer is forced to pay high price his fish, the fisherman finds himself with prospective profit turned to oss and the mddemen set to make ex- plantations which the other two parties the transac- tion have patience to hear
 It is plain that the only theoretical solution for this problem lies in flexible price system, equally plain that the practical application of flexible prices pre- sents innumerable and confusing difficulties say notf ing of the opportunity for abuses.

AN UNMISTAKABLE SIGN.

This may be talking politics, subject that should be left out of all consideration for the time being, but reference to the inefficiency of the democratic administration now and again, cannot hamper patriotism for it is we'll known fact that ineffciency among the ring making up the administration is so glaring that the people have become accustomed; for it is the rule and not the exception. An instance in point was brought to our notice yesterday in the following.
 On June 5, resident drew his check for the amount of his due on income tax and sent it, to- gether with his return form to Mr. Williams, Internal Revenue Collector at Tacoma, and thought no more of it. Yesterday his check

TT MAY HELP SOME.

Plumage may not make the value of all birds; but it generally helps their looks. The same may be said of names. All over the coun- try the courts are busy with prudent changes of names. Ignatz Schmidt becomes Irving Smith Ernst Wolfshemier turns himself into Ernest Wolf; the Funds change to Pounds; the Biele- relders and Lautenschlagers to Jones and Robin sons. Thus the discreet enemy alien takes on protective coloration or plumage and so promotes his chances of survival Some are really begin- ming to value decent name and recognize the fact that while they had no chance to choose a name for themselves at their birth, it is their privilege to do so now, which privilege they avail themselves of quite freely Let us hope that they will not prove themselves traitors to their Americanized names.

TAFT'S WAR TERMS.

"If it takes ten years and twenty million men we are going to wipe the German Empire off the map," said ex-President Taft in speech recently. Evidently Mir. Taft does not consider Germany's claim to dictate peace terms. He is right no sane persons cares what Germany s peace terms may be. It is of no consequence; it does not matter what she wants; it is what she will get. The only terms that the United States is going to consider are unconditional surrender after conclusive military defeat. Terms of set clement must be laid down by the Allies, not reached by negotiations. The Allies shall dictate them with justice, stern, retributive, without allowing the boches voice in the matter. The boys over there will see to that

Text Of German Note. pit
IS IN DOUBT
Will Evacuate Captured Territory
Asa Prerequisite to Armistice,
Says Note-Allies Must Be
II Consulted. ~

Washington, Oct. 14.-Germany's re-
ply to President Wilson's inquiry, in
tercepted as it was being sent by wire
less at Nauen and forwarded here in
an official dispatch from France, de-
clares Germany is ready to accept
President Wilson's peace terms, evacu-
ate the invaded territory as a prere-
quisite to an armistice, and that the
bid for peace. represents the German
people as well as the government.
Although on. its face, the text Of the
German note seems to be a complete
acceptance of President Wilson's
terms. the people Of the United States
and the allied countries are cautioned
against accepting it as such a compli-
ance Of the. presidents demands as
will mean immediate cessation of
hostilities.
Without any attempt to discount
what appears to be an acceptance Of
the terms the president has laid down,
officials here were very positive as
not accepting the German nate as a
document which necessarily means the
end Of the war.
Should President Wilson decide that
there is enough sincerity in Germany's
proposition to transmit It to the allies,
as the German chancellor requested,
1t should be borne in mind that Great
Britain, France and the other entente
nations must be taken into considera-
ton for decision as to whether an
armistice should be granted or whether
discussion should be undertaken to
carry out the details Of the applica-
tioin Of President Wilson's peace
terms.
