each Man For Himself
II have often noticed this DISPOSE
ton on the part of the Board OF Coun-
~ Commissioners to allow one COM
missioner to have absolute control OF
affairs in his own district. as IL there
was.no responsibility on the Board OF
County Commissioners as a whole to
look after the affairs of each separate
district, but rather each man for him
self in his own district.
."There is another provision of the
bill which | think deserves special
consideration and that is the provi-
sion for the election OF a competent
road engineer. No competent man
will long hold the position of road
engineer of Anne Arundel county at
salary of $4,000. The six hundred
miles of road. the innumerable cul-
verts and bridges. large and small.
that require his attention, and all the
various duties which a conscientious
road engineer must perform call for
a high order of skill and strict integ
rity. and man who has those qualifi-
cations can always command a posi-
ton paying more than $4,000 a year.

of Annapolis in setting forth his
views favoring the three-commis-
sioner law, emphasized the fact that
he had considered the question solely
from the standpoint of a taxpayer and
citizen. Said Mr. Munroe:
IL have been requested by several
of our fellow citizens to express my
views with reference to the Three
County Commissioner Act.
II am in favor OF that bill for sey-
eral reasons, which | presume would
not appeal to the politicians. How

never held any political Office except
that of States Attorney, and I view

with one County Commissioner from

in a position where we might have a
divided Board, four on one side and
four on another, on various questions
that might have to be settled by the
County Commissioners, and we have
had something of an illustration OF
that situation in the recent Board oi
County Commissioners, where he have
had three regular Democrats. three
progressive Democrats and one Re-
publican, and where the balance Of
power has shifted from side to side
according TO circumstances.
1T will be a little worse, how
ever. II there are eight County Com

Thousands of Pints of Power House Stuff Confiscated - Many Arrests Resulting.
CRUSADE STILL GOES ON
Now. After Makers of Moonshine Court to Be Congested Months With Prosecution.

DENVER, Colo, March 1S.-Eigh- ty-three persons, including nine wom- en, were arrested in yesterdays spec tacular prohibition raids. It was the largest cleanup ever undertaken in Colorado.
 The searchers proceeded with fierce energy. They entered hotels and rooming houses of every class, thrust ing aside all obstacles and ignoring all protests.
 At the end of the first day they had confiscated 10000 pints of liquor, most of which is said to be of execrabe quality.
 The public generally is applauding the cleanup because of the many deaths from drinking poisonous "moonshine"
 The federal and state prohibition of ficers who are conducting the raids declare they have just made a be- ginning" and that when they have finished Denver and the county can present "clean bill of health" They said they would "get" the makers of the poisonous moonshine which has caused so much blindness and suffer- ing, as well as several deaths.
 The federal court will be congested for months to come with the prosecu- tions, which will be waged, it is said. with relentless vigor Pleas of guilty are expected in many cases, because the violators were caught with the goods"
 An amendment of the states crim- inal code is being advocated, to pro- vide heavier penalty for persons con victed of using poisonous ingredients in any kind of beverage.

NOME INSISTS
 RAILROAD BE
 PURCHASED

The Cordova Chamber of Commerce has been asked by Nomeites to use it's influence on their behalf for the imme- diate action necessary to secure the purchase of the Seward peninsula rail road by the Territory, for which pur- chase there was appropriated $30,000 at the last session of the legislature.
 Since then a controversy has arisen between the Pioneer Mining Company and the Territorial and Federal Road Commissions as to the price and value of the road. Nome advises that if the road is not purchased the Pioneer Company will, early this summer, scrap the road from the end of their ditch line to Shelton.
 The people of the Second division are very much disappointed at the failure to purchase the railroad as per appropriation, and feel that the road is worth considerable more than the Pioneer Company is asking for it. If the purchase is made the Federal Road Commission will repair same for light traffic, which they contend will mean much towards the development of that section.

So Ayers White Pass Railroad Chief, in Reply to Statement as to New Low Tariff.
DENIES GERIG'S VERSION
reight Never Carried Via Yukon or Skag~ way on Measurement Basis, He Says.

SEATTLE, March 1S.-Quoting g statement which he attributed to Will jam Gerig of the Alaska Engineering Commission, J. l.. Burnside of the White Pass Railroad, in a statement denying that new freight rates tc Alaska will make the reduction claimed, said, in part:
 q note that MT. Gerig said: AS all example of what the new tariff means Alaskans should consider the rate or groceries as at present. If you shiE a carload of groceries from Seattle or Tacoma to Nenana or Fairbanks by the mouth of the Yukon or Skagway gateway, the waterfall rates will total $7O a ton. This cargo is carried on weight or measurement option, which means that the steamship companies charge by whichever basis is most profitable to them
 "In reply to this statement of MT Gerig:
 "I have at no time in the last 20 years known cargo to move from San Francisco, Seattle or Tacoma, on any other basis than strictly weight rates and at no time on assessed or meas urement basis.
 "Mr. Gerig should prove my state ment false, or acknowledge error.
 MT. Gerig says further: The new tariff is on weight, exclusively, and the cost to the shipper is cut fifty per cent under the old tariff
 "Mr. Gerig is making a great talk about reduction in freight rates, but does not explain how this is done. He has not explained that Congress ap propriated $1,662,OOO to take care o1 this years operating deficit. Had they given us only $62,000, we would have carried all Fairbanks and Nenana freight now moving at less rates than the government now proposes tC charge, and the government would have $1,6O0,O0O for some useful pur. pose.
 What about the poor taxpayer who is digging up millions to save a few shippers few thousands?"

SAN FRANCISCO, March IS. - Eight large steamship companies operating out of here to the Orient declared today for open rates on all overland and west bound traffic to the Orient.
 This marks the opening, it was de- clared, of what is expected to be one of the most bitter rate wars in the history of the Pacific coast.
 The decision follows the action of the British and Japanese steamship companies, operating in unison out of Vancouver, B. C., Seattle, Tacoma and Columbia river ports, cutting rates on all export bills of lading.
 The long-expected ocean-carrying rate war is now beginning, the Americans declaring they will meet their competitors, even under handi- caps, and defeat their purpose of driving the American ships off the sea-

WASHINGTON, March 1S.-The day granted an extension of time, to May 15 for the filing of income tax returns by taxpayers who are resi- dents of Alaska and Hawaii.
 This action taken, it was said, solely because of the long distance between the Territories and the seat of Government.
 The Commissioner said he had his hands full for the present, anyway, and that the Alaskan and Hawaiian returns would impose only a slight task upon the revenue workers at the end of their program in May.

he made no decisions and offered no opinions.
 Mrs. Harding and the rest of the party enjoyed their stay immensely and said they would return some day.
 Incidentally, President Harding proved himself a good golfer and evinced keen interest in seasonal activities for amateur athletic sports.
 The wireless bulletin service kept the President informed of events throughout his vacation. He ex- amined these reports with care and then turned to his great batch of telegrams and letters. These he handled rapidly, dictating answers, and when his work was finished he was eager as schoolboy for the outdoor enjoyment.
