has been clearcut and consistent ever
since the law went in effect We con-
tended before the justice department
that it was illegal to transport or
possess liquor on any ship within the
jurisdiction of the United States. The
department and the supreme court
have sustained that construction OF
the law.
Il cannot too strongly condemn this
atti-k by the brewers upon the gov
eminent and its officers, but rejoice
that the decision of the supreme court
has now removed all doubt on the
construction of the law so that
the discrimination against American
ships which have been seized upon
by the liquor interests as an argument
against prohibition, need no longer
exist"

Pull OFF HIGHWAY
WHEN MAKING STOP,
AUTOISTS REQUESTED

The practice of motorists stopping
their cars while on paved highways,
so that the vehicle gets more than
its full share of the roadway, is get
ting to be so common, according to
= bulletin just issued by the Hoosier
State Automobile association, that
some means of combating this grow
ing evil must be found, it is declared.
In the main,' the motor organiza-
ton states, this practice is due al
together to thoughtlessness on the
part of the car driver. Too many
drivers, too much of the time, think
and act as though their car were
the only one on the road, having no
thought for the other fellow.
These same motorists are quick
TO condemn two farmers in their wag-
ons or buggies, who, meeting on the
highway, stop to chat awhile with
their vehicles blocking the road. The
autoist is angry when he encounters
this situation, yet he is just as apt TO
do tricks just as bad or worse.
'If you have to change a tire, pull
out off the edge of the paved road, or
off to the edge of a gravel road con-
tluu0S luO ulOIO| CllD OullCbiAA' A4iN
will give others a chance to pass you.
Frequently is is necessary for two
vehicles to pass each other right at
spot where some other vehicle may be
stopped to change tire, or for some
other purpose"
IF you stop on a paved road, al
ways pull over to the edge OF the
'burm,' or shoulder Of the road, wher-
ever this is possible. The roadways
themselves are too narrow to permit
you to leave your car standing in the
main traffic path or near such path.
"If you wish to view a sporting
event or engage in picnic, for Mike
sake, get In the clear of other traf-
fici"
The attention of sheriffs and con
stables everywhere is being called 10
this situation throughout Indiana by
the motor organization.
"These officers have jurisdiction in
such cases which constitute blocking
the public highway" the Hoosler as
sociation states. "As far as practical
we are urging them to exercise their
police powers in regulating such mat
@ers, especially on occasions OF ball
games, picnics, holiday events and
such like.
ct is I'D to the individual motor car
driver first to think of his own actions
in such matters" continues the buue'
tin. 1.-THE fellow who is first to con
denim a truck driver for not laying
over is the one who is most apt to
stop his car in highway in such a
manner that two other cars cannot
move past that spot. And this thing
of lining both side of narrow high
way or a narrow paved road with
cars parked to watch a ball game
leaving single lane through the cen
ter, if indeed any lane at all is left
most certainly should be stopped, and
at once.
in this again it is the individual
who is responsible and who is amen
able under the law against blocking
highways. We hope each driver will
read and heed these admonitions."

spring editorial support of the exemp-

Asks Inquiry.
The letter of the Anheuser Busch
Inc, to members of congress inviting
their attention to the wine lists of the
shipping board steamers requests a
congressional inquiry into the condi-
tons regarding the enforcement of
the prohibition Act. The letter says
in part:
we have repeatedly brought to the
notice of the congress of the United
States and the administrative officials
the fact that the prohibition law is so
loosely enforced as to invite its viola
ton, and that under these conditions
the manufacturers of lawful products
are being driven out of business.
When the government of the Unit
ed States permits one of its depart
ments to violate the prohibition law
on the most extensive scale in the
world it helps create a condition which
aggravated the difficulties of these
manufacturers who have spent mil
lions OF dollars to convert their prop
critics for the production of lawful pro-
ducts and who, as matter of good
cltlzenshlp, have obeyed the law"
me letter further says that the gov
eminent in violating its own law sets
an example of hypocrisy. unparalleled
IN the history of the republic.

TRANSP0RTATj0N SITUATION
 ON THE LOWER YUKON RIVER

Unalakleet. Alaska, Jan. 1, 1929
 The old x. C. Co. occupied an i'm pOrtant place in the history of A. aska from the days of the gold rusl, to Dawson. The company stores were established all through Alaska and in the Yukon Territory. while it's steamers navigated the Yukon and all her navigsble tributaries. supplying the people with the com modities of life. The N. C. was born of a union of the old Alaska Commercial. Seattle-Yukon Trans portation Co. the Alaska Explora- ton Co.,. and the Empire Trading ( Transportation companies. The latter companies were competitors or the old A C. Co. in 1918 but later. to avoid competition. they combined under the title of the Mortimer Con- mercial Company. whose only real competitor was the N. A. T. & T. Co. the former competitor of the A. C. Co. Following the consolida- tion there was sharp rivalry between the two companies for several years, with the N A. T. & T. Co. gradually withdrawing from the field. Then the White Pass railroad became factor in the river trade and the A Navigation Co. came into existence and began active com petition with the N. C. Co. for the trade of the Yukon. An agreement was finally reached between the two whereby the N. C. would receive SIC for every ton of freight that would come in over the White Pass and agreed not to run it's boats above Panama This gave the Alaska-Yu- kon Navigation Company strangle hold on the trade of the upper Yukon and gave the N C. Co. grape vine twist on the lower Yukon. It was a nice 'gentleman's agreement"-

, road across the portage from kal- tag to Unalakleet as an important aid to Aiaska's commercial and in- dustriaI progress. A glance at the map will reveal how close Nome is to the Yukon by way of UnalAk- leet and also disclose how close Kal- tag is to Nenana. with water trans portation possible all the way. The ice is usually out of here before the first of June. and generally does not form before the middle of November. The ice leaves the Yukon around and above Kaltag in ay. Thus a road across the portage would mean longer season for transportation than at present. Freight landed at Kaltag could be handled by the traders with their own gasoline boats, as 1t does not require a great amount of power to run an empty barge up the river. while in going down stream with load the current does the work at less cost than steam. Under such system, refrig- erating cars could take from a cold storage plant located at Unalakleet the reindeer that are now dying of old age for want of a ma ket. and land them in Seattle in better time and at less cost than can be done under the crude and wasteful method the shippers are now com pelled to employ for lack of better way. In short. the merchants of the Yukon valley could shake hands across the portage with the mer- chants of Nome; bring to eaci. other their surplus products; and work to- gether for Alaska's future. and to- gether the transportation monopoly gether untangle the transportation monopoly that is holding the Terri tory in swaddling clothes.

with the miner. prospector, etc. dancing to the music of the gentle mems fiddle. The agreement con- tinued for several years with the somewhat paradoxial effect that the more business the N. C. Co. diverted from themselves to the A. Y. N. Co.,. the more money they made. The latter concern finally tired of having the N. C. clip the coupons and bought the transportation end of that concern. If rumor is correct. they had not the best of the deal. as they acquired along with other things bunch of stern wheel steam CTS which are gradually sinking into that state known as "innocuous des- uetude'
 The Alaska-Yukon Navigation Co. thus became the arbiter of transpor tation destinies along the Yukon and it's tributaries through the con- tfol-with one exception. of the means of trafic. The company then began a sweeping curtailment of expenses, including the dismant ling of St. ichael in favor of White Horse as the main A. Y. N. station. Now St. Michael Is but shadow CT its former self and next summer promises further curtailment, as the little freight that is due to come for up river points will be loaded di- rectly onto the barges and will be headed up the river without touch ing St ichael at all.
 The government railroad is about completed and that, besides making the A. Y. N. Co. do some hard think ing. develops another angle in the transportation problem. As the road. ends at Nenana. it solves the problem for that section of the coun- try but leaves the Yukon situation very much unsettled.

 A few words regarding the fur tax law passed by the last Legislature. Owing to the revenues derived from the fisheries having fallen ofi nearly one half. treasury deficit amounting to $35O.OOO confronted the territory at the beginning of the last legislative session. Taxes had to be levied in other direction to make up the deficiency. A special committee composed of members from both houses introduced the fur tax bill in an effort to secure the revenues needed The House of Representatives voted unanimously in favor of the bill as first presented but the Senate amended it to the form in which it now stands. The House did not concur in the changes made by the Senate and the bill went to free conference. After a debate Of four hours. the House finally agreed to the Senate amendments, after the license tax had been re- duced sl0O and the tax on red fox pelts to 50 cents by way of cOmpro- mise.
 Under the terms of the law the buyer of furs ostensibly pays the taxes imposed but they are actually paid by the native hunter and small trapper. for the reason that the buyers deduct the amount of the tax from the price offered for skins. The license provisions apply only to dealers in furs and anyone< bIy furs fer their" own use without a license understand the natives have been told they must nave I license to trap fur bearing animals but this is not so. I also wish to make it plain to the public that the new regulations providing that fur bearing animals may be trapped bu. not shot were not promulgated by the Legislature but were imposed by the ieQeTdI RCNeIHIltht it " ""HhiAe ton. D. C. In my opinion they are bad.
 I was not a member of the com- mittee which drafted the Alaska fur tax law and do not know the reasons aminating it's provisions but I be- lieye the next legislature should amend it. as it tends to create q monopoly and decrease competition in the fur business. in addition to preventing stores from buying CT trading merchandise for skins. as was formerly the case. unless they pay a buyers tax of s25.0O. At the same time Siberian furs can be handled and shipped without pay ment of taxes. as the legislature has no authority to tax imports or ex- ports.
 Yours Very Truly.

This bill provides several methods of remunerating the war time soldier and sailor. notably; land grants. paid-up insurance. and cash payments made on the basis of $1. per day for service in America. and $1.25 for overseas service. The ever dwindling objectors to this bill howl and rave of the terrible blow this will give our trsasury-bat they do not tell us of other issues coming up all the time involving similar outlays of money over which these close-lastesl ones resister not rnurmur of disapproyal. This ia what might be termed. "strannpay interesting"
 Another favorite theme of certain well fed politicians is that the sold fer is a "nAtural hobo and always Hroke." Let's apply little simple arithmetic in defence of this charge: The average pay rate of service men during the war lowered close to $50 per month. Out of this princely sum came 8 compulsory allotment of SIS to dependents at home: an- other $6 went for War Risk Insur- ance. Just these two items alone reduced the pay check to $9- and how far will $9 per month or soc a day go in buying the hundred and one little necessities and com forts that the service does not sup ply--smokes. candies, extra cloth ing, carfares, etc.
