mediate effect if the many thousands who in the armies and naves and engaged in manufacturing supplying and transporting and equipment clothing food and other necessities for the main tenance armies navies laid off and forced into ideness other lines of work, and if the hun dreds of millions of dollars engaged in the industries incidental to military matters were put out of em- poyment forced into other channels idleness. If peope could figure out in advance what would be result of great changes such this there would be less speculation and haphazard procedure in the business and industrial world
 The first effect of such change would probably add to the uncertainties and unemployment of the country Particularly would that be true if the change were made quickly Many people would have learn trades before they could get other en- ployment and much capital would be idle bending congratulations etc. for other engagement. Other markets would have be found for the products of many business establishments which now cater to the military institutions of the various countries
 The greatest immediate economic benefit would be the reduction of Money withdrawn from busi- channels to taxes to maintain the armies and navies of the world is in large measure money that is being employed in business and industry. Money saved by tax reductions is money that would not have to find other employment It is money that would remain to strengthen going concerns in the sec tions of the country where would be saved.
 In balancing the effect that would be beneficial against those that probably would be disturbing it is well that we should take into account that the change would probably be executed gradually. This would minimize the shock. And, speaking for the American people, this country has shown remarkable shock absorbing capabilities. The country will not fail matter what may be the result of the disarm- ment movement will the institutions of business and industry collapse.
 However. the great end sought by those who ad vocate disarmament of the world is the avoidance ot and it's disastrous effects upon civilization, with it's destruction of ideals its unsettlemens, ally and mentally well economically, it's waste of human life, labor and property. The end is { toon for which might very well pay very large price. It would be very considerable remuneration for the terribly destructive and costly war that only shortly ago terminated.

SELF GOVERNMENT SHOULD BE FIRST

While Congress is considering the Governmental needs Alaska it should take into account the fact that this Territory has not full Territorial form of Government such other Territories of the United States. have and have had. The Territorial Legislature has greatly restricted properly legislae for the growth and development of Alaska It has sufficient control the questions of raising and expending the public revenues provid- ing for public improvements. It is specifically pro hbited from creating authorizing the creation of counties other local governments It is not per mited to legislate concerning the fisheries and game Of Alaska. Many things reserved for adminstra- ton through rules and regulations formulated in Washington by people who know very little about Alaska.
 of Alaska prepared for introduction in Congress ought to be comforting the people all the authority that is strictly Federal in it's character everywhere in the country If that done great many of Alaska si problems could quickly be solved. Such a should have been passed many years Burt that is not here nor there now Such bill has not been passed and Hawaii and Porto Rico and the Philippines all have far wider measure of segovernment than have the people of Alaska A rgreat opportunity is afforded those who nov in charge of Alaska to give the people of the Territory the boon of sefgovernment. The more and wider the powers of government they would confer upon the people of the Territory the better it would be. Rather than have less powers than the people of the other Territories had in their day Alaska should have more as Porto Rico, Hawaii and thA Philippines have because they are arherf from Washington than were the Territories of the last century, and the conditions different from those of the States which are represented in Congress. The man men who eventually father and put over a self government for Alaska will make place for him them in the history of the Territory that will be enduring.

EMPLOYERS WHO REJECT DEGREES
 GIVEN PUBLICITY
Massachusetts Minimum Wage Committee Hold Whip
 Over Employers.

BOSTON, Mass, Oct. 10.-Em ployers who do not comply with the decrees of the Massachusetts Mini mum Wage Commission have discOv- cred that they are subject to public ity which from their standpoint may not be wholly desirable. t.-.f-. .,
 The penalty provided by law fol compliance is publication of the names of employers refusing to ac- cept the commissions recommends tons. According to the State De- partment of Labor and Industries, no other state. or couhtry having minimum wage legislation has this requirement all other laws being mandatory and enforceable in the regular way.
 It was only this month, however that the commission made use of its powers to the extent of@publication of names, Until the latter part of 1918 it was prevented from making complete inspections to determine compliance with it's decrees, because the constitutionality of the mini mum wage law was contested. The State Supreme Court finally upheld the commission right to make such inspections
 After this decision things went SO smoothly that the commission was able to obtain compliance with out legal action. But it struck a snag in July of last year when it recommended specific minimum wages in the paper box manufactur- ing industry. Although the majority of firms accepted it's decree, several refused. Similar refusal developed later on the part of some employers of office building cleaners and women's clothing makers.
 As the Supreme Court in it's de- cision had reserved for later consid- eration the question of the consti- tutionality of the publicity provision of the law, the commission recently asked Attorney General J. Weston Allen of Massachusetts for an opin- ion. The Attorney General informed the commission that in his opinion no constitutional right or privilege of an employer was violated by the provision and that publication of names under it's terms was a priv ileged, communication which, if made in good faith without malice and with reasonable cause to believe the statements contained therein to be true. could not be the basis for any liability for libel"
 On September there were ap- proximately 279 cases in which em- ployers had refused to comply with decrees.
 Acting on the advice of the At torney General the commission an- nounced, the commission is publish ing the names of the employers in question"
