ALASkA'S COAL LAW

Once idea is embedded in the mass mind of the public it persists in remaining in it's position That is why people still may be heard rectng the charge that the natural resources of Alaska are being turned to big interests" at the expense of the nation.
 Never more than a casual thought has been required to bring forth this vail in it's true light which ap- breaches the ridiculous events connected with development Alaskan fields should therefore emphasize facts that they again will be mis- interpreted
 For years a misguided school of thought has bent every effort in seeking to convince the nation that the "vast coal deposits of Alaska" were well on their way to monopolizaton by the "lords of the coal industry
 Now comes the broadcasng of fact long recognized by the more rational of folks, which shows that busi ness will undertake the development of Alaska deposits the provisions of the Federal Leasing law simply because such development under the condi imposed would prove operation unprofitableMin ing Congress Journal

THE COUNCILS BLUNDER

The action of the Cordova City Council at its meeting on September IS, when it was vot ed to buy in an outside market the necessary timber for repairs to the approach to the Ocean Dock, has aroused marked criticism among Cordova toWrspeOple-and with rea- son. On the claim that spruce lumber IS not suitable for panking, the Council voted to reject the bid of local lumber company which agreed to supply Alaska timber in. re- quired lengths for $36 per thousand, and to purchase fir timbers at the price of $45 per thousand from lumber company in Seattle.
 It is not the province of The Times to judge of the relative merits of spruce and fir; nor is it perhaps, pertinent to suggest question as to the extent of the benefits derived from paying $9 per thousand for the latter as against the former The point which The Times is moved to protest is one of principle
 We talk much here in Alaska about devel- which this paper believes in.
 in Cordova'' It is the expression of a policy reads: "Are you loyal? ... Keep your money running an advertisement in its columns which
 For several months The Times has been oping Alaskan industries. It is the constant effort of our organizations and our city gov ernments to encourage the investment of cap ltal Tn Alaska enterprises. In instances like the present, therefore, when there arises an opportunity for utilizing home products, the obviously consistent and proper course would be to favor the home market. Certainly it is an obligation on the part of city governments at any rate not to discriminate against local concerns en@aged in the development of local resources. The effect of an opposite policy is destructive and far-reaching. And certainly any Alaskan city council assumes a grave re- sponsibility when by it's act it appears to ad vertise to the outside world that Alaskan tim Der is unfit for Alaskan use

THE RESTORATION OF PROTECTION

The signing by President Harding of the protective tariff bill brings to a close an era of Democratic free trade which has lasted al most exactly nine years and ushers in per iod of prosperity the duration of which will depend largely on the span of control allotted by the American people to the Republican party. The regime of the Underwood tariff has been inimical to American industry. We can't increase wages by increasing imports. That the A,Gevican Federation of Labor is fully cognzant of the benefits of protection is amply testified to by the resolution adopted by that body in Buffalo in 1917 "Resolved, That this convention go on record in favor of a policy of industrial preparedness and the enactment of laws by Congress that will ad- oQuately protect all wage -earners of our coun- try against loss of employment through any invasion of the products of any other nation. '
 The Underwood Simmons tariff law just re- pealed, failed in every particular, so far as domestic interests were concerned 1t did not lower prices. It did not increase the revenues. It had no part in expanding exports. It did create depression and cause suffering. The new Republican tariff law is protection, not perfection. It has been passed in the face of the most desperate opposition on the part of importers ever known. It puts the country on safe ground It is the handmaiden of prosper ity and the twain are now one, the nuptials having been sealed by the signature of the IIeslueht. 444& "=t.. k ',4 "9se&.-
