COAST GUARD SHIP NEEDED

The recent accident to the steam ship SJalI, the Viking, the Agram, the OnI, and several other boats, dem onsulGtes the absolute necessity of a cCas guard cutter being established ill this vicinity during the stormy moi ns of the winter, when such ser V badly needed. The Agram and the Cn!X were wrecked in a storm two !.-.Iths ago and their crews were forced to subsist on clans and porcu- pines for over thirty days, before be- ing rescued by private boats sent in search of them. Much misery and privation could have been saved these men.
 The gas boat Viking is afloat some where off the point of Kodiak island with one man aboard, being blown to sea by severe storm, while anchored at Kanatak. A gas boat has been sent from Unga, several hundred miles away to fool, for her. These boats are small and c2a cary only enough gas fer a su4r, cl-.i3-ng radius. It is dan- geroua :, t-ell to go out at all in the win.et time. But with true Alas kan split they take the chance, in or der to suocor distressed shipmates.

MUNICIPAL FERRY A FAILURE

Several years ago Seattle engaged II the ferry business and lost several thousand dollars. Then the system was unloaded on King county with the same result The venture was so unfortunate that the county turned it back to it's former owners. The latter applied business methods and made s50,000 net the first year.
 This showing led to a grand jury investigation to see how the private owners could make money on about the same volume of business done by the city and the county, while the lat ter were losing so heavily. It was in- timated that the city and county had been robbed.
 The explanation was that the pri- vate owners hired competent help and refused to carry every Tom, Dick and Harry who was armed with passes or who was put on the payroll as a re- ward for political service.
 Here you have concrete illustra- tion of everybody's business is no- body's business.

as fast as it came aboard. That no lives were lost is due to the abilities of captain and crew, as the point at which the vessel hit is one of the most dangerous on the ocast. Mari ners to the westward are compelled to navigate in fog and snow without lighthouses, fog signals or compass stations
 During the pleasant summer months Alaskan waters are filled with revenue cutters. During the stormy, winter months, or at the beginning of the stormy season in the fall they flee for California or Seattle. This is the time they are needed.
 The port of Seward has good an chorage, fine fuel service, and cheap living for officers and crew. Commu- nication with the states is constant. A fine radio is here, and the cutters could guard the Prince William Sound district as we'll as the Kodiak district. Another cutter at Unalaska could take care of the district eastward.

THE SOLDIER 6OfluS.

Tle arguments advanced against aGiU5 ed compensation legislation. or the so-called soldier bonds. appear to be very weak to any one who has a knowledge of the United States re- sources in relation to the national debt. To pay the bonus asked by the American Legion would require some $SO,000,000 per year. The saving last year by the government was over $400 0000,000. To pay he adjusted compensation would still leave the na- ton $3S0, 900 to the good. and this would wipe out the national debt in less than twenty years.
 Congress today, Is considering the appropriation of twenty million dol lars to give to Germany to permit her people to conserve their strength so they can raise - the remainder of the winter This sum would pay a quarter of the required bonus.

They laid down their jobs and went to war. be- ing paid $30 per month for the privi- lege of serving their country. Thou sands of men who remained at home drawing war time salaries, do not take into consideration the amount of money lost by the American soldier Huge fortunes were made while the boys fought; graft ran rampant and the cost plus system advocated by the administration paved the way for a huge national debt which the return ed soldiers are now asked to help pay.
 The American Legion made a colos- sal mistake by remaining out of poii-I tics. Let them once announce they intend to enter the polls and politi- clans will run their legs off for these 4,S00000 votes. It appears rediculous to see these voters begging for some thing concerted action at the polls would bring them instantly.

KANSAS WAGE LAW IS OUTLAWED
 NOTHING LEFT OF ALIENS PLAN

"The extent to which regulation may reasonably go varies with differ ent kinds of business.
 "The regulation of rates to avoid monopoly Is one thing. The regula- ton of wages is another. A business may be of such character that only the first is permissible, while another may involve such a possible danger of monopoly on the one hand, and such disaster from stoppage on the other, that both come within the public concern and power of regula tion."
 The Kansas law was passed three years ago. Governor Allen assumed authorship of the act, which is as old as history Allen used the meth ods of a circus agent to further his personal fortunes. He was considered a vice presidential possibility by the present dominant party, and was the darling of every cheap wage employ er Since his retirement as governor of Kansas he has been on the lecture platform, and is now telling citizens of small towns how he saved" Kan sas during the miners national strike. He is no longer given first page men ton in the daily press, and the su- preme courts decision makes him "d11d"

By outlawing the wage-fxing clause of the Kansas industrial court law, the United States supreme court has demolished the main prop of this travesty on democracy.
 The decision was made in the case of the Wolff Packing Company of Topeka, which appealed from a de cision of the industrial court. The industrial court ordered wages of the employees increased and the company refused to obey The state supreme court upheld the industrial court. The company carried the case to the United States supreme court, which now holds that the hxing-of-wages section of the act is in violation of the I4th amendment, and IS therefore unconstitutional.
 The decision was unanimous, and was handed down by Chief Justice Taft, who quoted the recent women's minimum wage decision that there IS no such thing as "absolute freedom of contract" and that while it is subject to a variety of restraints, they must not be arbitrary or unreasonable.
 Freedom is the general rule and restraint the exception" said the chief justice. "The legislative authority to abridge can be justified only by ex- ceptional circumstances"
 The court said that the mere decla- ration by legislature that business
 is affected with a public interest is not conclusion of the question whether it's attempted regulation on that ground lis justified.
 The court denied that the preparing of food, and other industrial activities are "clothed with a public interest" This is the basis of the Kansas law, and the term "clothed with a public interest" has been used by every handcuffer in the land who has urged other states to adopt the Kansas law.
 "To say that business is clothed with a public interest is not to de- termine what regulation may be per missible in view of the private rights of the owner. The extent to which an inn or a cab system may be regu- lated may differ widely from that all lowable as to a railroad or other com mon carrier. It is not matter of legislative discretion solely. It de- bends on the nature of the business, on the feature which touches the pub lie, and on the abuses reasonably to ] be feared. iAlE

Governor Aliens Kansas court got it in the neck with supreme court decision the very day Allen landed on his return from Europe, where he told the statesmen how to solve their prob lems
 President Gompers, after reading the supreme court decision, re- marked, "I wonder whether Governor Allen would now care to resume the debate we had on the Kansas court"
 Aliens scheme meant compulsory labor, which is forbidden by the con stitution. The supreme court decides that Labor was right this time.
 Another reactionary idea is cooked. The world moves.
 There's a good joke on Mrs. Hard ing and Mrs. Lasker They didn't know the Leviathan joy-ride trial run" was to be stag party. They invited women friends. Then they learned the sad truth. Only men on. board
 This may seem hard on the women, but let them console themselves with the thought that the men are monop- olizing something of which nobody is going to have any right to be very proud.
 The Leviathan's trial run isn't trial run. It is joy ride, pure and simple-a huge waste of public money, which, of course, will not worry the wasters.

New Shipping Plan

Washington, June 15.-In the event the government fails to interest private buyers in government vessels and trade routes, Chairman Lasker has recom- mended to President Harding that 12 to IS subsidiary corporations be created by the United States Fleet Corporation. These corporations will consolidate ex- isting freight lines and will operate about 250 vessels.
 Chairman Lasker says the shipping board will hten have on hand 1,200 sur plus steel ships. Several hundred of these are unfit for service, and it is re- commended that they be scrapped and the remainder sold.
 Mr. Lasker announced his retirement as chairman of the shipping board. His tenure of office was marked by sensa- tional campaign for ship subsidy. The administration brought every force in its power to support the measure, but it was rejected by congress.

"Woman Mill Workers Wins 32,ooo Pounds in Derby Pool"
 Doubtless the hearts Of thousands of working girls and women thrilled when they read the foregoing head line, over a dispatch from London, telling how a Yorkshire woman mill worker won a fortune of approxi- mate1y $I5o,ooo through ownership et lucky sweepstake ticket.
 As they read on and learned how a young stenographer won 10000 pounds in another drawing, they must have thrilled even more.
 Yet the prizes that came by chance to two or thre English working women are nothing compared to what the working women of England and other countries, including the United States, could win by thorough or ganization.
 Collectively, they could add vast sums to their incomes, besides inn proving immeasurably their working conditions. They could assure them selves of enough to live comfortably on and have something to set aside for old age. And they wouldn't have to depend on lucky chance either. They would be making use of sure thing" plan that has stood the test of time and has brought untold bene- fits to myriads of wage earners.
