NOT AN ISSUE BECAUSE CONCEDED

Opponents of the new tariff law complain that the tariff was not an issue in the last cam paign Of course it wasn't. The whole com try was opposed to the Wilson-l ndcrWool law and it was assumed naturally that a new law would be passed. Even President Wilson attempted to switch his party and to kdnap the protective tariff as a Democratic policy, asserting that the world war had created new conditions And SO it really had, too, and everybody realizes today that America with her short hours, high wages, and curtailcd pro duction would speedily fall victim to comprt- ing nations if allowed to continue under the WiIson-U Underwood law. Indeed, SO rapidly was disaster coming upon us that the clurr@ cncy tariff law was passed by practically a unanimous vote of congress, many of the strong party Democrats voting for it.
 The truth is that today every class and cIc mcnt in the country is demanding protection. The agricultural interests insist upon it in order to save them from runious competition from Canada, South America, and Australia. The manufacturing interests want it to save them from the disaster threatening them from the work shops of Europe where men labor un- der forced tension for long hours In America today there is by far higher standard of Iiv- ing than in any other country on earth and it can he maintained if it really can be main taincd at all, only by tariff which really pro- tccts.

ADVERTISING SPACE

The Red Bluff (CaI Daily News submits this statement: eff you had newspaper space to sel and a payroll to meet, would you sell your space to business men who want it or would you hold it for local people who won't take it and who sometimes declare adverts- ing doesn't pay?"
 The question is one that concerns newspa- per editors everywhere. In many places, not ably smaller communities, the newspaper has hard struggle for existence It may be @ live sheet, splendidly edited, but the local merchant feels that "everybody knows him" and it is not necessary to advertise; the he does about "the same amount of business any where"
 He fails to appreciate what it means to his doings, of its achievements and of its oppor tmitics for the new corners.
 Every new family means at least $1,0O0 yearly spent in that community. Every mer- chant gets his share of this
 Tn supporting the newspaper by advcrtis ing, the merchant encourages enterprise on the part of the publisher, and the greater the publicity given the town and district the more rapid the growth.
 The local newspaper is the chamber of com mcrcc and publicity bureau combined It should have the support of every one, to the end that the greatest amount of good may be accomplished.
 Thousands of dollars worth of free adverts- ing is given away every yaer to the commn ity by the local newspaper Every little thing is boosted, and people abroad begin to find out what fine place your town is.
 Only in advertising can the local newspaper find reward for its effort. The subscriptions do not more than pay for the cost of publish ing and delivering the paper
 In supporting the paper by advertising, the merchant is contributing not only to his direct benefit but to the future of the community

WHERE IS THE COAL?

Five years ago this month the government railroad to the coal fields at Matanuska and Eska creek was completed, and the Mantanus- Ro branch at Chckaloon four years ago Ever since these dates announcement has been made Gin Washington that the Pacific coast would he flooded with cheap feul. The Eska mine was opened in 1915, and has supplied limited local trade since that time.
 For five years published statements have been made by naval officers that the stcamng qualities of the Matanuska coal were better than those of any known deposits.
 At the same time the residents of Seward and other towns contiguous and adjacent to these mines have been using British Columbia coal at an enormous price.
 With the present high cost of fuel and the greatest shortage in history it would appear that now was the opportuc time to market this vast reserve. Good business would sug gcst that every effort be made to get this coal on the market while prices are higher than for years.
 The residents of Alaska are asking them selves if this fanfare of trimpcts and beating of drums by coal experts is not for the pur- pose of distractng the attention of officials at Washington. It is true that Secretary Payne visited the coal fields and saw "miI- lions of tons ready for the fleets of the worId, ' but where are the fleets.
 It seems rather mbind to view with sus- picion the statements of so many long range gcoosists as to the quantities of coal in the fields to the Norhward, but there is a "nigger in the woodpiIc," " somewhere, and some one is landing us the buuk.-NaIdcz Miner.
