RAILWAY CONNECTS
 ARGENTINE AND SALTA

BUENOS AIRES April 27 (by Asso- c1ated Press). - The first rail has been placed on the new international railway that is eventually to connect the Argentine city of Salta with the seacoast of Chile, thus realigning to certain extent the trade routes of Ar gentina and Chile. The Argentine section of the road is being built from Salta to Huatiquina, a place in the Andes on the frontier of Chile while the Chilean section probably will be constructed either to Antofo- gasta or Mejillones. In Argentina construction is being done by the state railways. Construction in Chile is not yet definitely provided for.
 The Argentine half of the road is approximately 475 kilometers long. As part of the work 6,0O0 meters of hard rock tunneling will have to be done

AN MERlCANlzED" LEAGUE.

Official Washington is engaged in the serious business of making up it's mind as to just what it can and cannot do as. to the League of Nations. Of ficial Washington has not taken the position that the League is something that can be ignored and forgotten. Let the rest of the world go hang!" is not so popular as it was in camp aigning days.
 M. Viviani will find in the capital a willingness to talk about the league. He will hear that the world organiza- tion to which couple of score nations are now committed will have to be markedly modified before America, as represented at Washington, will be willing to enter.
 What Washington wants is a league with many of the Wilson-Lloyd George Clemenceau inserts teeth removed The proposed recasting of the pact will be far-reaching. Article X, the Heart of the Covenant" as conceived by Will son, must go. The agreement must be so reshaped as to remove those pro- visions that have been pointed out as conflicting with the constitution of the United States. The Washington idea seems to be a further elimination of any possibilities of the "super-state" that so alarmed the "irreconcilables. :" Freedom to any and all nations in do- mestic matters will be asked Con gross is not to have it's war-making powers taken away. The Monroe doc Urine is to be protected, letter and spirit.
 The tide is running strongly against American isolation and any separate peace move. It is strongly favorable to making the most of what is c0ncci- ved to be good in the league plan The great body of American sentiment favorable to a league, to disarmament and to the ultimate ending of wars, will watch and hope and help as best it Can.-Ketchikan Chronicle.

STATE OWNERSHIP DECLINES

High taxes are largely due to the state undertaking socialistic enter prises of state ownership ard too many state operations.
 It is significant that Oregon and South Dakota, after full discussion ln their legislature, turned down 2tate hydro-electdic plants.
 In South Dakota an extensive inves, tigation was made dy state hydro electric commission that recommended an extensive state power program.
 South Dakota is learning, from proX, imity to Non-partisan North Dakota, that state ownership and operation means doubling taxpayers bills.
 That is what Seattle has learned with municipal ownership of the street car lines, light and power plants, muni- cipal docks, etc.

BACK UP PlTTMAN ACT,

If there was ever time in world history when we should do everything to stimulate production of both gold and silver it is now.
 Owing to the world war there has been enormous imitation of paper money, cost of material and wages, and as result, production of gold and silver is declining.
 Under the Pittman act the mint is purchasing silver produced from mines within the United States at $100 an ounce while other silver Is offered in the world market for a much lower price. Many citizens think that the difference comes out of the pockets of the tax payers and that the govern ment is unfairly sustaining the silver mining business while other industries have to struggle along without any government support or subsidy. This results in hostile criticism and a de- mand for the repeal of the Pittman act.
 This criticism is unfair, and arises from lack of information on the sub ject During the war the United States government sold the British govern ment 350,000,000 ounces of silver at s1,OO an ounce. The silver market during this time was much stronger than $100, in fact it went higher than $130, and had the British government bought this silver in the open market the silver in this country would have received far in excess of $100 an ounce. Under the Pullman act the director Of the mint is empowered to replace these 350,000,000 ounces of silver at exactly the same price the government reCeiv- ed for it, namely, $1.O0 per ounce less : a fraction of cent for mintage and handling charges. This transaction is thus without cost of cent to the tax payers of the country, it would be a gross injustice if the silver miners were deprived of the higher prices 6ur- ing the war by the government sehing silver below the market to our allies and then in turn replacing such silver at the present depreciated price. This mistaken view of the Pittman act is almost universal with the public even among the best informed. None of the money paid for silver comes from the taxpayers it is merely the reinyest- ment without loss to the government, of money recieved for silver during the war.

CLEAR STATEMENT OF CONDI
 TONS.

In discussing present day business dent of the Bank of California, makes the following four striking points in the solution of the task of readjust- ment:
 First, the present Revenue bill must be changed as it is greatest contributor to high cost of living, is destructive of initiative, encourages extravaganza, is unjust in it's workings, taxes fictitious profits, is progressiv- ely robbing working capital of individ- uals and corporations and fails to dis criminate between new capital and income although it is only through new capital that the country grows.
 Second, our liberty bonds must be absorbed by real investors. Bonds were issued faster than our earnings could absorb them and individuals and corporations were forced to buy be- yond what prudent, with results that banks are having to carry them. The whole government debt should be refunded to spread it over a longer period as the attempt to pay it in the time allotted is too great task for the present generation.
 Third, labor will have to be liqui- dated dut price drops must precede wage drops. Efficiency of labor has been low and to the extent that this efficiency is improved, reduction in wages can be avoided.
 Fourth, the whole world needs ex-
The Cordova daily times., 1921-04-27

cess products Of our soil and labor, but has no money or credit to pur- chase. Some means of funding trade balance in our favor or extending cred it to Europe must be found, to enable her to continue trade with us.
 "This is time for sanity and cour- age, not a time for pessimism and doubt. We must use such energy as we may possess to solve the problem which confronts us each day rather than to waste that energy in worry over a something which may never happen.
