ACUTE LABOR SHORTAGE HAMPERING
 METAL MINING

Not difficulties arising from the coal and rail strikes but the inability to obtain an adequate num- Der of competent miners, is the outstanding feature of the situation in the mining industry today While grave anxiety is expressed quarters regarding coming weeks and months ii is impossible to find any instance in which producton has been affected appreciably either by lack of fuel for pcwer-plant or smeterng purposes, by inadequa e transportation facilities for moving In the West hydrcelectric and fuel-ol power plants supply good poportion of the requirements and in addition obtainable from the non-union fields In the States farther east, including the Michigan copper country, Wisconsin, and the Tri-State lead-Znc group, the outlook for the winter is good
 The feature Of the shortage of competent miners is the fact that complaint made on nearly every hand, the Engineering and Mining Journal Press Emphasis is placed on the word competent" Vest ern operators approaching more than ever the fact that common laborers don't make miners The real miner is something of skilled workman. In the Michigan copper country Calumet Heca is contracting its soping and trammng, has enough men.

CRITICISING MEXICAN COURT.

Ours is not the only Supreme Court that does not perform suit everybody. Mexico City papers are condemning the Mexican Supreme Court for it's
 failure to declare itself beyond all cavil the non- ret roaciyity of Article 27 of the 1917 constitution. E Universal the leading paper of Mexico, says the Supreme Court employed vague, tortuOus language in it's Texas oil decson, and that it has followed the same method in subsequent decisions It demands a change in he personnel of the court
 If Mexico would only make it clear that there will be no attempt to disturb the rights acquired by American and foreign persons and companies prior to the adoption their socialistic constitution the pressure for the recognition of ther country would be Irresistible The country has right to recognition because she has stable Government, that extends to all sections of the Republic and is recognized by all the people of the country. The only excuse for refusing recognition is the constitution of 1917 and the alleged that it might held be retroactive.

Next year should be Alaska Year-a year wit ment and development.
 Reports from the North favorable. Placer mining is being resumed Prospecting again has been started d big scale The Alaska Railroad has cut costs that properties previously unproftable can be worked either by pan and shovel by hydraulics. grafton in capital investment this year There will be apprecabe increases in both these respects next year if the proper fight is made for the Territory.
 Conditions peculiarly favorable to a campaign in its interest at this time The administration at Washington is sincerely, constructively desrous of promoting the development and settlement of the last American Vest. The countrys attention is being turned from international to domestic affairs American capital is seeking investment and natur- ally, prefers to invest under the Stars and Stripes where possible
 Any movement of this kind originate in Se- attle It might very well take the form of national publicity putting questions that would excite discus sion of Alaska affairs and encouraging inquiry as to the reasons why the country has not developed more rapidly. This discussion and inquiry inevitably must pave the way for constructive action.

ENLIGHTENMENT IS THE REMEDY.

The argument of E. r sherman Associate Forester of the United States, favor of Statehood for Alaska is at least admission of the nadequacy of govern of the Territory Washington It shows very clearly the need of change from bureaucracy to democracy. It is presentation in favor of self government.
 It goes further than that It calls to the attention that the only way to rid the North of bureaucracy is to put the powers of government in the hands of the governed people. AS long governmental authority is centered in Washington cng will we have bureaucratic government It is question of twee- dledee and tweededum to what bureau Depart may exercise the authority. In any case it will be nOn-r resident government. Governmental power must be taken from Washington and brought to the people if to have local government. It cannot be done in any other way
 If Delegate Sutherland sincere and sensible in his deprecatons bureaucratic government for Alaska he would be trying to legislation to increase the powers Territorial government ra ther than to extend the powers now exercised Washing ton. He would be working Territorial control of the fisheries and game. He would be endeavorng secure to the people the right establish counties those parts of the Territory are prepared for them so that the people might select their boards Of control and officers.
 Instead the Delegate is trying to get legisa- tion that would place both game and fisheries even more completely than ever in the hands of bureaus and fasten more securely upon the people of the Territory the system which gives control through Washington appointments.
 Sef-government is the remedy for most of Alaska political ills And elf-government through the States and other local political divisions is the needed edy against bureaucracy throughout United States The Federal government is doing too much local governing everywhere and there should be concerted action to restore power to the States where the Fathers of the Republic intended it should lie The prohibition question and many other matters that now centered in Washington matters that should be handled by separate States Territories Gov ernment in the United States is getting too far from the masses because of too centaizat ion at the National capital.
