DEPORTATION

Over in Montana they are proposing
to take steps to deport aliens who are
convicted of bootlegging 1t is stated
that this will be the best means of
stopping that form of law violation as
it is claimed that most of those en-
gagged in the crooked business are
aliens. In event the offender has Sc
cured naturalization papers it is pro-
posed to take steps to have them can
celled and if there is a second offense
to send these out of the land and
back to the land from whence they
came. The measures may seem to be
rather drastic but it looks as if a
comprehensive plan had been hit

While the masses of the American
people have mighty little use for
Eugene V. Debs and his theories and
his everlasting efforts to create dis
sension and dissatisfaction, there are
very few who will object to the old
man having his freedom at this
Christmas time. He has outlived his
ability to do much harm and will walk
out of the prison doors an old man,
whose principal job, in all probability,
will be to stick around until he is
called to make the long journey. He
is one of a type of men who can at

BUY SOMETHING MADE OF COPPER

What is a good slogan for every person to adopt.
 The great copper mines of the west are closed due to an oversupply of copper which swampcd the market when the war ended.
 Inferior substitutes used in all countries during the war in place of copper because the red metal was rcmanded for war purposes.
 Following the war foreign orders failed to matcrialiZe due to the money situation, while domestic buyers withheld orders for various reasons
 As d result mines could not carry the bur den of msod copper indcfinetIy and continue to operate.
 The price of copper is lower today than it has been for many years.
 ImumcrabIc articles for household ncccs- sitrs or decorations are made of copper.
 If every family would buy single incX- ponsjvc article each month, made of copper, a demand for millions of pounds monthly would be created Western mines would soon reopen and ten of thousands of men would re- ~mur work.

SELF GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE FIRST

While congress iS considering the govern mental needs of Alaska it should take into account the fact that this territory has not a fu!I territorial form of government such as other territories of the United States has and have had The territorial legislature has been too greatly restricted properly to IrgIsat" for the growth and development of Alaska. II has not sufficient control over the questions of raising and cXpcndmg the public revenues or providing for public improvements. It ls not permitted to Icgisatc concerning the fish cries and game of Alaska. Many things are reserved for administration through rules and regulations formulated in Washington by pco- plc who know very little about Alaska.
 The very first measure bearing upon the government of Alaska prepared for introduc- ton in congress ought to be one confcrring up on the people all the authority that it not strictly federal in its character everywhere in the country. If that were done a great many of Alaskas problems could quickly be solved Such a measure should have been passed many years ago But that is not here nor there now Such a bill has not been passed and Hawaii and Porto Rico and the Philippines all have far wider measure of Self-govcmment than have the people of Alaska. A great opportun- itv is afforded those who are now in charge of Alaska to give the people of the territory the boon of self government. The more and wider the powers of government they would confer upon the people of the territory the better it would be. Rather than to have less power than the people of the other territories had in their day Alaska should have morc as Por- to Rico, Hawaii and the Philippines have more because they are farther from Washington than were the territories of the last century, and the conditions are so different from those of the states which are represented in con gross. The mannor men who eventually father and put over a scIf-governmcnt measure for Alaska will make a place for him or them in the history of the territory that will be enduring -Juneau Empire

LET ALL PAY TAXES

The taxation shoe begins to pinch harder as the enormous war tax lcvics must be met out of peacctmc profits
 The demand that special privileges, such as tax exemption for many kinds of securities, be removed, is becoming nationwide.
 Over $3O0OO,OOO,OOO of such investments are now held by bond buyers who escape paying any tax on their incomes, thus doubl- ing the tax rate on productive industry and the citizen who is working to make living today. ~>'.~,.e@s ....- -,., ...r---.,
 "Wor" the tax exemption privilege cntric- ly withdrawn," said George A. Taylor, Pres ident of the Chicago Mortgage Bankers Ass n, there would be approximately sixteen billion dollars, aside from Liberty Bonds, amendable to taxation. This, at the normal income tax rate, would yield nearly billion dollars an nually, relieve the people of huge tax burd- en, and divert amazingly large sums from nonproductiye to productive uses"
 Unless this taX-exemption privelege is cur tailed, increasingly large sums will be with drawn from all lines of productive investment and placed in taX-eXempt securities thus re ducing the chances for employment on one hand while increasing the individual tax brrd- en on the other.

Too little credit has been given banks for helping this country rcadjust They have been cusscd for curaiIing credit but the fact remains that in coming down from tho dizzy heights of peak prices, few failures of con- sequence have been recorded in thi, country and the banking system stood the process without a trcmbIc.

LASTING QUALITIES OF WOOD

The Southern Pacific Company is replacing with steel and concrete the old wooden draw bridge at Albany Oregon, which has carried freight and passenger traffic on the Yaquina Branch for some 30 years. The old bridge had two 150 foot Howe trusses and one 260 foot Howe truss draw span.
 This was the longest wooden draw span in the world and it illustrates the strength of Douglass fur, the great construction timber of the Northwest

Stocks Rise
Further as
Cotton Reacts
Desnite Diminished Activity,
Railroad and Industrial
Shares Quoted Higher;
Wheat and Exchanges UP

IA tho stock market, tho upward
surge continued unchecked yesterday.
The swiftness of the upturn was strik-
ing, and suggests the habitual tendency
of spectators to rush to extremes.
Mexican Petroleum, which last month
tumbled to SAN, was again the leader
in the rebound, and closed at Han,
up 51a points.
Although there was fairly substan-
tial decrease in the volume of activity
yesterday, the general list again re-
spcnded to influences making for higher
prices, and many issues madc new high
records for the movement The mean
price Of twenty rails, according to The
Tribune averages, rose during the day
from 6S.65 to 64.20, and that Of thirty
industrials from 85.9S to ee.68.
In tho bond market, quotations were
firm too, but toward the close there
was some irregularity.
The spurt in cotton continued early
yesterday, but later in the day profit
taking, combined with an exhaustion
OF the extraordinary buying power,
brought about an extremely rapid
downward reaction. The rules of the
exchange on Tuesday limited the rise
automatically to 200 points, and the
same restrictions had to be invoked
yesterday to curtail the decline.
Overnight buying orders had accumu-
lated, and on the opening cotton quo
tations leaped upward, gaining 11a
cents pound. The break, which sub
sequently effaced the early increase,
resulted in net declines Of IL to 4s
points.s
In the wheat pis, where the effect
Of rising cotton quotations has been
felt, there was an early decline, a
sharp upturn, followed by q break on
profit taking. However, the net result
in this market was gain in quota
tions varying bctween 2h and a.
cents.
Corn prices at the close were n to
IL cents higher.
Sterling and the continental ex-
changes yesterday freed themselves
from the special influences making for
a reaction. Sterling gained 1% cents
Marks, however, moved away from the
other exchanges, receding to 1.06 cents,
which was previously established as
the low for the year.

NJ. x. & T. Reorganization

Bankers interested in the Missouri,
Kansas & Texas reorganization are
still trying to reach an agreement on
the details that are holding up scon-
sumation Of the plan and it was init
mated yesterday that sufficient prog
ress has been made to warrant the
statement that the plan will be made
public in the near future. The chief
points of contention now are between
the first and second mortgage bond
holders.
Callaphones on Stock Exchange
In view Of the damage done to the
electric indicator on the north wall OF
the Stock Exchange board room by the
recent fire, callaphones have bean tenn
porarily installed until new indicator
has besn built. These instruments, at
tached to telephones, magnify the
sound Of the human voice to such an
extent that messages to brokers can be
heard all around the trading floor.
Cuba Cane Sugar
Bankers reported progress yesterday
in working cut plan For taking care
of the financial needs Of the Cuba Cane
Sugar Corporation. "A constructive
statement in connection with the COM
pany will likely be made shortly" a
banker said who has been in close
touch with the company. No details Of
the plan under consideration have been
made available rs yet.

In Wall Street


Following yesterdays meeting Of the
Northern Pacific executive committees
Howard Elliott chairman Of the board,
stated that there was no discussion OF
dividend, as this question Is not due
to be- considered until the regular
board meeting the latter part OF this
month. 1t is possible, however, that
action may be taken sooner should
special meeting be called. In discus
sing other matters Mr.. Elliott said that
the August earnings of the Northern
Pacific had shown an improvement over
July and June and had exceeded prev
ious estimates. AS revealing improve
ment in freight traffic conditions he
pointed out that loadings Of CONNER
cial freight in August amounted to
74,250 cars, contrasted with $500
cars in July. "The Northern Pacific
crop reports" added Mr.. Elliott, "show
a good wheat crop in Washington, Ore
gon, Minnesota and Idaho. In North
Dakota the crop will be only fair be-
cause of unusual hot weather. The
Northern Pacifc's traffic outlook is
good"

Rubber and Tire Shares

The summary Of condition In the
rubber and tire industry issued yes
terday by the Rubber Association,
covering conditions down to August 1,
revealed that the progress toward de-
fation has been substantial, and for
this reason there was. a more optimis-
tic feeling regarding the companies
whose stocks are listed. On December
3D.. last, inventories of forty-three
tires, with production in December of
100000 tires and shipments of 1897, 900
tires. On August / inventories were
down to 3,892,000 tires, with a July
production of 100000 and shipments
Of 2,757,000. The figures covering solid
tires and inner tubes made much the
same general comparison.

Government Financing

Bankers are beginning to wonder
about the plans Of the Treasury De-
partment relative to permanent financ-
ing. Some of the financial leaders in
the Street think the government should
come into the market before the end of
the year with long-term issue to pro-
vide for approaching war loan maturi-
ties. II think it would be wise move
on the part of the Treasury to come
into the market as quickly as possible, +"
said one banker, who held that large
loan could be foated at terms advan-
tageous to the government. He sug-
gested that present holders of various
war issues be given the opportunity of
turning them in at par for new loan.

August Copper Sales

II was unoficially estimated yester-
day that sales Of copper in August
totaled 100000 pounds, a consider
able part of which was for export.
This is an improvement over July
and may account for the slightly
higher price for the metal. Quotations
have firmed recently to better than IL
cents a pound for early month de-
liverics, with the large producers un-
willing to shade a fraction. Aided by
the general rise in the stock market,
leading copper shares have registered
sharp advances from their lows of
August. The gains have averaged
from 2 to more than points.
