Motor Wisdom.
(NeW York Post.

(New York Post)
 Automobile makers know that the way to get good start up Prosperity Hill is to down nefation Slope with rush. At the automobile show year ago there little talk of price cut ting. Many said that until labor and materials came down reductions would be impossible It was true that the Ford Company had just cut it's prices by mpanies had followed suit; but the experiment several companies had actually raised prices, But fortunately, these leaders overruled. Ill late March and April a rush of cuts announced, many of them drastic, and they continued during the summer
 Few manufacturers made any money during 1921, according to the Automobile Chamber oF Commerce. Hut whereas last discouraged automobile men expected that 1921 production would be ono-third less than the record output of 1920, actually it not quite one-fourth less. typical advertisement declares that ''the announcement of the Blank at reduced price sixty days ahead of all com pettorS doubled Blank production in the last quarter of 1921" Though the export market continues de- pressed, the year 1922 opens in an atmosphere of optimism.
 The disposal of 6SO 900 motor vehicles in 1921, 1t must be remembered, does not necessarily mean that wide field of purchasers opened up Of the varying estimates of the number of such vehicles which passed out of in 1921, some run as high 1,5O0 000 Mere replacement offers scope for huge business. But the unexpected volume are evidence of two facts the courage with which the industry-the third largest in America--has come down to rock bottom, and the truth in the assertion of automobile makers that cars are more and more regarded not pleasure vehicles but as business necessities.

Appointment of Colonel Steese.
(AnchOrage Times. ]


 The selection of Colonel James Gordon Steese as a member of the Alaskan Resources Board or Inter- departmental Committee, to represent the War De- parment appears to be the first step looking to creating of a functioning governing board for the Territory in anticipation of the passage of bill creating the board through Congress In selecting Colonel Steese the Government has made a happy cchoce for no higher type of official could be placed upon the beard. The fear has been that Colonel Steese would be eventually transferred to the in- struction department at West Point, which is GUS tomary when member of the army ascends to the high qualities that Colonel Steese has displayed both overseas and in Alaska. His naming as a member o the board assures that his ten years of road building in Alaska will be carried out and ex- acuted in manner to the best interests of the territory It requires several years for an engineer
 acquire Knowledge of the needs of the Territory and the fault has been in times past with the trans ferring of officers of the War Department just at time when they had full grasp the situation
 iven funds with which to carry out his plans Colonel
 teese will eventually give Alaska what she needs in he way of road building, and with board stationed Tn Alaska to hear such matters and pass upon them t naturally follows that the full program will be carried out

Road to Connect with Yukon.
(Prince Rupert Newsl

At meeting of the citizens of the Alice Arm the government asked to look into the feasibility of road north and south to connect the line of the c. T. P. with the Yukon, tapping Alice Arm and stewart en route, and opening up the wonderfully rich Naas Valley and the Groundhog coal fields and the rich mineralized districts of the north including Atlin.
 The road would be big undertaking but some day 1t will be built. Owing to the fact that there is strip of foreign territory along the coast line of Northern British Columbia and the Yukon it is desirable that there should be some other than water communication. A wagon road would solve the prob lem and would unite the whole of the north in such way as to increase development and cause a great increase in the population of the country In these days Of motor transportation wagon road is almost useful a railway.

London Police Are
Not Given Freedom
Z Allowed u. 5. Cops

London-A London police court
rebuked a policeman the other
gay for clubbing a prisoner. over the
mead before .arresting him. He did
not censure the policeman for strik-
ing h mar with his club,stas he was
violent, but for striking him over the
head with It. He said the policeman
ought to have hit him over the legs
or On some other portion of his
anatomy. "a
The incident serves to illustrate q
striking difference between the com
parative freedom allowed the polite
in America in using force in sub
DUNG an obstreporous prisoner ana
the restrictions that are sought to be
imposed upon them here, under SINH,
lar circumstances. And some other
differences, too.
The man who was dubbed vas
hailed before the police court Judge
on the charge Of assaulting a police
man who was trying to get a drunken
woman to a police station.
Hit Easiest Place.
The policeman said he was sur
rounded by a. hostile crowd Of about
200. Whithead-the man who was
clubbed-struck him on the ACE and
body. In the struggle both fell to
the ground and someone. then kicked
tHe pONceman In the rlOS. Inc Po-
liceman drew his club and hit White
head. who was still showing fight
Just wheze l could reach him
easiest
In many of London's q streets
a hostile crowd batting a policeman
is as common a sight as in the Unit
ed States it is a rare one.
Here the policeman carries
t.~truncheon'' which is by no means
such q formidable weapon as the
American policeman's club, And il
he hits a violent prisoner over the
head with it when he ought to have
hit him somewhere else, he is apt to
! get into trouble. Only when he is o N
a very dangerous beat, does he
carry a revolver. The rough who as
saults him ordinarily runs no risk
whatever OF getting shot and very
little Of getting badly hurt. There
fore he is not afraid Of a scrap
| with a policeman. especially when
drunk.
There is a strong \ feeling here
against arming the police and it must
be assumed that those who have au-
thority over them know their own
! business best and what is best for the
protection of the police.

fOffeIt ZIG MS
Discussions have been had almost daily for the past week be-
tween our officers and representatives Of the striking shopmen
to ascertain what, If any, conditions would be acceptable upon
which the leaders would base an order to their men to return
to work. On Saturday, July 18th it became definitely known
that our men are being kept from work not because of any
grievances or any hope of betterlng> their conditions, but be-
cause satisfactory arrangements IN other sections of the country,
more or less remote, have not yet been made.
To remain away from work longer, therefore, is clearly in the
hope that thereby our employees on strike will benefit not them
selves but railway employees elsewhere, presumably less FORUM
ately situated. The plain duty Of the officials Of the Great
Northern Railway Company is to endeavor, as they have been
doing, to operate the property so as to provide the Public with
adequate service.
This they will continue to do. It will, no doubt, be impossi-
bic to give as good service without the cooperation of our old
employees who, by their experience, acquaintance, and long as
ISOLATION have proven their efficiency but nevertheless, service
will be continued and gradually t will improve to normal. The
decision each employee, who left our service must make is
whether hewifl longer continue a sympathetic strike, or whether
he will return to work under the following conditions, which
are those prescribed by the Law: The duly authorized repre-
sentatives of the Railway Employees may take up at once with
the Railway Officials any matters of dissatisfaction, including
wages, and the Railway Officials will; negotiate in an entirely
fair and unprecedented manner, agreeing to refer promptly to the
Labor Board disputes which cannot. be settled by negotiations
and to abide by any decision the Labor Board may make in
these matters, whether favorable or unfavorable to the Railway
Company.
