FOX-FARMERS WORRIED

Tie anxiety among the fox-farmers of the Alaskan coast, fostered by MT. Sutherland $ hvsterical opposition to the reservation system of the Bureau of Fisheries, lest they are to be deprived of the necessary salmon for their fox-feed. is in line with the general unnerving effects produced without cause among the people who depend upon the fisheries for a livelihood. There is no foundation in fact for any such fears. There have been made no regulations aimed against the fox farmers, the fishermen or the small cannerymen of the coast. On the contrary, the regulations to be imposed under the new reservation system are direc.eI straight against the big packers. In restricting the size of their packs, the areas in which they may fish, and the nature of their operations in certain places, the new regulations are pointed directly at the large concerns, which have heretofore been unre- strcted. The new regulations are, on the con- trtary, a protection for the small canner, who

NEW ALASKA CABLE

While reconstruction of the Alaska cable Is required to facilitate business between the States and the Northland, the reaylng of tie line is of importance from a military view point The first replacement work will De done between Seattle and Sitka, and plans then call for the substitution of the stretch between Sitxa and Seward. Further exten- sion is regarded as possible to Dutch Harbor, and from there continuation of the system, either direct or by way of Yokohama or Shang- hai, tu the Philippines has been matter o1 frequent discussion.
 The first piece of Alaska cable was laid between Juneau and Skagway in August, l9ol The line between Seattle and Sltka was put in operation in August 1904, and the extension to Valdez was made later in the same year. The system was completed to Seward in l9Oo All together. main line and branches 1t has a length of 2.800,00O miles.
 With the $75O,O0O made available in the War Department bill. TOW before Congress, a new line can be laid between Seattle and Sit75a To obtain the material and do the work would require a little more than year, and then the next Congress would be expected to appropriate a similar amount for recon~ struction between Sitza and Seward.
 Extension of the system from Seward to Dutch Harbor, distance of 600 miles, will he certain if the Aeutian seaport is selected for a naval station. Dutch Harbor, because of its proximity to the Asatic coast, Is under 4OOO mil $ in a direct line from the Philip pines, and 2,600 miles from Yokohama.
 Better cable facilities are needed between the United States and the Far East and re- gently the report was current that the com pany owning the Pacific cable might !av an extension to Japan from Dutch Harbor if the Federal authorities should continue their sys tenn to that port. A private corporation, |'ow- ever, could not be expected to construct a line from Dutch Harbor to the Orient and divide with the Government tolls on through business. Rather the company could better afford to lay it's own cable for the entire distance.
 Whatever the outcome of the tentative and rather remote plans of the Army and Navy for Far East extension, early recon- structon of the Alaska system will greatly aid business here and in the northern terri tory.-Seattle Times.

STAGES COSTLY
Regulation Requires Much of State
DEPARTMENTS Time

Regulation Of the auto passenger
stage lines by the state department
of Public works cost $31 ,959 during
the first 81 months, the new law has
been in effect. Approximately two
thirds of this cost was borne by the
fee schedule fixed by the last legisla-
ture, and, if Director E. v. Kuyken-
'dalls recommendation is accepted by
the next legislature, the whole burden
of expenses-w be borne by the stage
lines in the future.
While $31 $50 represents the addi-
tional or out of pocket cost to the De-
partment in regulating the autostage
lines there is another way Of figur-
ing expenses that would make the
total 1851. That is, if the De-
partment charges the auto stage di-
vision with its share Of general ex-
pense of the department, basing this
charge on the percentage OF time IN
the work by Director Kuykendall and
other officials, the stage division
should be charged the higher figure
which is 25 per cent of the entire cost
of the department. The first figures
ss1 ,959, is Is per cent of the depart
ment cost, thus indicating the offici-
ais of the department took on an en-.
ormous quantity of extra work to
prevent any increased cost to the
state.
There now are 1876 stage lines op.
Grating in the state and reports to the
department indicate the operators are
obeying the rules, and on the whole
giving satisfactory service. It il
impossible, through lack of inspect
ors. for the department to keep al
eve on stage lines at all times ant
therefore the public is expected t.
report any infractions of the rules
that is, ssholler if you're hurt.
People generally realize that abuses
| bv other utilities can be corrected b!
| the department and report them, blu
| It is not so certain that all criticism
of stage operators are reported dl
rectly to the department. To maxi
the regulation effective. Directo
Kuykendall points out that the De
partment must have public co-opera
ton in reporting abuses. He EN-
phasizes the fact that the stage line
must obey the state rulings.

AMERICANIsM
a MEXICAN ISM"

A NE RICAN ISM" teachers
Ateach it, preachers preach it, civic
organizations inculcate it, dema-
gogues mouth it-but who explains
it? What is "Americanism?
The very question will be hailed by
some as "un-A American" "Why", says
the patriot, every one knows what
Americanism is" But do they? And
is. there not steady tendency to
bring under the banner of the word
ideas which have no place there? Is
there not continuous attempt on
the part of enthusiastic factions and
minorities to Irvine into the Stars and
Stripes beliefs and convictions which
do not there belong?
Americanism is something more
than taking off your hat when the
flag goes by, going to the polls to
vote, and paying a tax. The real
American believes in the principles
upon which this Nation was builded,
not necessarily upon the way some
people have thought these principles
should be worked out. There are
good Americans who believe the
League of Nations is anathema, and
there are good Americans who be-
lieve it the salvation of the world.
There were good Americans who
fought and died abroad who believed
there were two sides to the world
war. But there are no good Ameri-
cans who refused their country's call
because they personally didn't believe
in the right Of the call; there are nc
good Americans who refuse to stand
by America, not in the league, be.
cause they believe in the league.
| Americanism is matter of princi
pies, and living up to them. Ameri
lcanism means freedom of conscience
freedom of speech, the rule Of thu
majority, freedom of person, respect
for law, liberation of the other fel
lows idea, live-and-let-live. To call {
man un-American because he doesn'
believe in law, is foolish. Call hin
up-American if he doesn't abide b!
lit. To call him un-American becaus'
he doesn't believe in this, that, or tn
other proposal made under the guis
of it's being patriotic. is unjust, ]
is he, not we, who has the right t
decide what he shall believe is RICH
and just and true and patriotic. Bu
call him un-American If, when tn
country decides, he does not fall i
lime in spite Of his personal belief t
the contrary.
Many who boast Of their patriotism

TAKING OUTDOOR ADS

I'm ACCORDANCE with the recon-
= mendations Of it's Legislative conf
mittee, the board of trustees of the
Washington Natural Parks assocla-
ton has endorsed program 70 De
submitted at this session OF the legis-
lature.
The purpose of this association is
to secure in the state law contins-
inc method Of financing state park
purchases and development and par
ticularly the purchase OF stands OF
Of timber along the highway which
constitute one of the most impress
sive and distinctive Of our scenic re-
sources.
One method of financing this pro-
gram in square-foot tax on all OUT
door advertising. In support OF this
method the association says:
sThere is, we feel, real justice in
asking that the advertisers whose
messages are such q prominent feat
ure Of our landscape should contri-
hute something to the retention OF
the permanent beauty of that land
scape. There is little room for DOUBT
that a tremendous amount OF money
spent on this sort of advertising is
thrown away, and it is possible that
without placing a tax on such adj
yertising that would be. in any sense
prohibitive, even a small tax would
result in more careful consideration
of the wisdom Of such advertising
expenditure, and in an improvement
n the quality Of the advertising that
would remain. There is very
considerable sentiment throughout
the state in favor Of the abolition o.
Sthe billboard entirely, but it appears
HAT any law to that effect would bt
unconstitutional. We are convinced
that an overwhelming majority OF tn
ueople Of the state will approve ths
associations proposal
The Courier Reporter can see notn
ing unreasonable NOR unfair in TILL
proposal. Certainly bill boards, letter
cd barn roofs and ad-adorned fence
posts and tree trunks contribute
nothing to the scenic value OF an!
highway route. In fact this stat
has; placed the road ad in the nuisance
category and has abolished it iron
the right of way of any state high
way.
A large part of the bill board al
yertising which flanks the state
highways is national in character an
s the advertisers contribute nothing to
ward the building or maintenance Q
the highways over which travel tn
supposed readers Of the billboard
message.
The highways Of the state are bul
for the purpose Of travel and not t
provide circulating medium for any
body's aid. If an advertiser seek
to use the highways for the latte
purpose, there is no reason why !
should not specially be taxed for IL
upkeep of the state highway syster
Of which the state parks are a par
