WHITE IRON BEACH.
Resort News.

The resorts of Ely are beginning
to enjoy full patronage. The White
Iron Beach recently completed its
hotel and built more cottages, both
housekeeping and hotel, which are
already filled to capacity and reserva-
tions are coming in fast. Every in
dication is that many will have to be
turned away for lack of accomoda-
tions.
A formal opening of the White
Iron Inn will be held next Saturday
tomorrow evening, June 25th,
with concert and dance. After this
dances will be held every Saturday
night and there also will be music at
every Sunday noon meal. The man
agement announces that every atten-
ton will be given local people who
are invited to patronize this new

The man who makes money in a
community has a duty to perform to
that community. It may be that he
has made his money by his superior
business ability, and that he would
have done as well anywhere. That
does not alter the case. If his gifts
are great his responsibility is equally
as great. No man was placed on
eartn Tor the sole purpose of making
money, and the man who has this
as his ideal had better never have
been born. 1t is not an act of char
ity, but the performance of simple
duty for the man who has made
money to pass little of it on for
the benefit of the community even
though he never expects to see a
dollar OF his contribution back.

WHO WILL PAY?
(from the Pioneer Press. }

(1rom the P1oner PreSS.
''The growing tendency on the
part of states to levy super-taxes on
the production of natural resources
within their borders is beginning to
attract national attention. Both
the policy and legality of enactments
of this type are under examination.
Recently bill was introduced in
Congress prohibiting the transporta-
ton in interstate commerce of Penn
sylania anthracite coal on which such
a tax now is levied, and this accom-
panied by resolution asking the at
torney general to attack the law on
the ground that it is an interference
with free commerce between the
states guaranteed by the Federal
Constitution.
"The Pennsylvania law requires
the payment of a tax of " per cent
on the value when prepared for mar
ket of all anthracite coal mined in
that state. The revenue is to go to
the state for state purposes only and
is in addition to the usual ad valorem
tax payments. This act is very
similar to that passed by the Mime
sofa legislature imposing a tax of
per cent on the value of all iron ore
mined for state purposes in addition
to all other taxes. Louisiana has
so-called severance tax" of the same
general character, applying partic-
ularly to oil, and similar statutes may
be found elsewhere.
ACTS of this character seem to be
confined to natural resources only,
such as oil, coal, iron and the like.
and in the case Of Pennsylvania and
Minnesota there exists a practical
monopoly as far as America is con-
cerned of the resources forced to
bear this additional tax burden.
All products so taxed are vital and
necessary to the prosperity of sthe
United States as a whole and only
small proportion of such products are
actually used, either in the natural or
manufactured state, in the common
wealths imposing the tax.
The courts have jealously guarded
against the sole right of Congress
to regulate interstate commerce, and
this protection has gone to the extent
of invalidating state tax laws which
seemed to be burden on the free
interchange of commodities among
the states.
Whether these super-taxes on
natural resources comes within the
constitutional limitations and pro-
hibitions of the power of the states
to impose tax on property within
their jurisdiction is question which
the courts ultimately must settle
and nothing is to be gained at this
time by discussing the legal aspects
of this problem.
The question of policy, both states
and nation, is for the moment of
more interest. Pennsylvania and
minnesota nave an undoubted legal
and moral right to tax the natural
resources they possess in the same
manner and under the same general
system that the great mass of proper
ty of other kinds and classes is taxed
But the propriety ofSsingling out one
or more of such resources for the
imposition of additional and dis
crlminatory burdens is debatable.
minnesota uses only small part of
the iron ore mined here and Penn
sylvanla uses only a small part of the
anthracite mined there. The bal
ance is needed by the nation as
whole in both instances to keep the
wheels OF industry turning. Be

ions of the United States Supreme
Court. In any event there ought to
be some well settled national policy
as to taxation of this character, and
no doubt the courts when the time
comes will point the way.

u. s. Ready to Maintain
Peace Near the Canal
State Department Waiting for
Details Of Var Threats Of
Panama and Costa Ricu

WASHINGTON. Feb. 26.-Faced with
the seriousness of the situation, off,
cials of the State Department began to-
night consideration of steps to take in
case it should be necessary to attempt
to avert war between Panama and Costa
Rica
Official confirmation that President
Porras of Panama had gone so far as
to sign a declara tioN of war was yet
lacking, and from Costa Rica no in
formation had been received, notwith-
standing an inquiry to the American
Legation.
Just what measure will be adopted
had not been determined tonight and
will not be, it was said, until all the
facts are officially communicated to the
department. 1t was admitted, however,
that, despite the awkward predicament
presented in the laying out of any
course upon the eve Of a change of ad-
ministrations, scme decisive action
might be necessary if the two countries
should engage in hostilities.
The obvious remedy offered of land
ing American troops to avert clash was
dismissed by those who believed both
governments could be induced to listen
to friendly council and, if not, to }

qu@nt contacts with each other and
win the armies of neighboring states,
especially Nicaragua. On the other
hand, whatever troops Panama has
with which TO defend the country's
northern boundary are police troops
organized since Panama's entry into
the war. Absence of political disor-
ders In Panama is pointed to as ac-
counting for the smallness and made
quacy Of it's army.
Ihe population Of Panama is 401,42S,
as against nearly 475,000 for Costa
Rlca. The naval forces of both coun-
tries consist of nothing more than
motor launches, uBed by revenue
agents.
Both Panama and Costa Rica de-
clared war on Germany and were ac-
tive in expelling Germans from their
SOIL during the war Costa Rica trained
about 5000 troops for service, but
these were never sent TO Europe.
Less than year ago part Of the
United States 33d Infantry was sta
toned in Chiriqui Province, near the
scene of the present hostilities, doing
police duty.
Colombia, which now threatens to go
to the assistance of Panama against
the Costa Ricans, has peace time army

stern warning that they said the de-
partment was prepared TO issue il it
should be necessary. It was regarded
as probable that identical messages
would be- sent to both capitals.
The information received by the de-
partment continued tonight to be
essentially the same as that contained
in press dispatches. The request of
the Panama government for aid in re-
covering the guns surrendered many
years ago TO the United States authori-
ties cannot be complied with, it was
salds for the reason that they long sgo
were disposed of and the money re-
turned TO Panama. The United States,
it was also said, was not eager TO as
sist in arming the Panamanians, since
to do so gould enable them to bring
about the precise situation the depart
ment is anxious TO avert.
Absence of information from the
Costa Rican capital caused government
officials here TO believe it possible that
the Importance of the raid by the Costa
Ricans into the disputed Coto district
had been exaggerated and that it might
not after all have had government sane
ton.
Diplomatically the situation present
ed was regarded by officials here as far
from simple. Coto is a part Of the
strip of territory whose sovereignty
was determined by Chief Justice White
acting as an arbiter many years ago
after one adjudication already had been
made by President Loubet of France.
Chief Justice White awarded the ter
ritory to Costa Rica, but it never has
actually passed under Costa Rican
control.
Regardless of the territorial rights
involved, the chief concern here is the
continued peace of all territory adjacent
to the Panama Canal.

Japanese Are Considering
Withdrawal From Siberia

Official Circles, Says Toxic
Newspaper

TOXIC, Feb. 26 (By The Associated
Press).-Reference to the question Of
Japanese occupation of the maritime
province of Siberia was omitted in the
recent note from Toxic to Washington
relative to the death of Lieutenant
Langdon, who was shot and killed at
VladlVostok by japanese sentry. The
presence of Japanese forces in eastern
Siberia was one of the significant tea-
lures of the United States position.
The idea of withdrawing Japanese
forces from the mainland of Siberia
IS gaming ground in official circles. de-
ciares the Kokumin Shimbun. A con
trlbutlng factor to this movement is
the Judgment of the court martial in
censurlng Japanese military officials.
which, in sense, is held to indorse
the American view that no useful pur-
pose can be served by the continued
presence of Japanese in Siberia.
Although Niscount Uchida. Foreipn
Minister, recently declared before The
Japanese Diet that the government had
no intention at present to withdraw
Its forces, the Kokumin Shimbun saws
members of the Cabinet are beginning
to believe that either the Langdon af,
tar, or the creation Of the Chita gov
ernment, or both, should be seized upon
as an excuse for evacuation.

Harding May Take
POstmasters From
Civil Service Glass
Expected to Revoke Order
of 1917, Which Affected
Those of Ist, I'd and Sd
Glass, at am Early Date

From The Trtoume'S Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26.-Informa.
ton received here is that Senator Har-
ding, shortly after assuming the duties
of Chief Executive, will revoke the
executive order of 1917 putting first,
second and third class postmasters in
the Civil Service.
Reports of this kind have recently
come from St. Augustine, but have not
been officially confirmed. Harry NJ.
Daugherty said this week that this was
one of the subjects about which Mr..
Harding would consult Senators and
House members after March A.
The policy to be followed, it is under
stood, is not finally settled, but certain
members of Congress who are IL a DO
sltlon to know, have been adv ey the
order will in all reasonable likelihood be
revoked.
National Chairman Will II. HAYS.
who will be the new Postmaster Gen
eral, was here yesterday and was asked
about the matter by some of the mem
bers of Congress. Mr.. Hays has made
no public statement about it,
However, about the House and Sen
ate to-day, the statement was made
clusion it should be revoked, but did
not want to make final decision until
he had talked further with Senators
and House members.
Democrats in Congress are already
assuming that the order will be re-
voked. Senator Hitchcock, of Nebraska,
was to speak on the subject to-day.
He deferred the speech until Monday,
when he will defend the manner in
which the Civil Service order has been
administered by the present Admin
stration and deny that politics has
dictated postoffice appointments.
While there is a powerful element in
both houses among Republicans in ia
vor of returning to the old system, it
is also a fact there is another ele-
ment against the old system. Some
members OF the House say they do not
want to be obliged to referee postoffice
appointments and that they regard
such patronage as liability. They
also contend that if the Civil Service
orders are revoked it will be criticized
as blow at the Civil Service system
by the Administration, and thus politi-
cal harm will be done the Republican
party.

The Panaman government is urging
upon the Canal Zone authorities and
the United States Legation here ths
adVlsabllIty of recommending that the
United States War Department issue
the necessary war materials and has
expressed confidence that such recon-
mendation will be forwarded to Wash

Some OF the 1,500 rifles taken over
from the Panaman government follow
ing the signing of the Hay-Varilla
treaty were returned, and most of these
guns were sold at public auction here
IN 1914. The remainder were shipped
to the Panaman Consul in New York
for disposal in 1915.
1000 Enroll for Services
More than two thousand men enro1led
Tor military service here yesterday and
reports from other parts of the re-
public told of citizens volunteering for
the army. Two hundred men left this
city yesterday afternoon for the Costa
Rican frontier and it is believed the
Panaman forces near Coto or en- route
to that place number about five hun
dred. These consist of national police
and volunteers from Panama CITY and
Chiriqui province.
The base Of Panaman operations will
be in the small town of Progreso. near
Golfo de Dulce, which is connected by
q narrow gauge railway with a small
port constructed by the Panama Sugar
Company. The town of Progreso is also
the property of the same corporation.
Progreso is the focus of trails which
lead to David, the capital of the
province of Chiriaui, which is about
thirty-two miles distant from Coto.
The Panama Canal Zone administra-
ton and the United States Legation
here had not received instructioos
from Washington last night. A con-
ference was to be held at once between
President Porras, William Jennings
Price, United States Minister. and
Colonel Jay ]. Morrow, acting Canal
Governor, but it was postponed until
Monday.
