SUPREME COURT SAYS CANNOT PROHIBIT
 AL!EN L.ANGUAGE
TWENTYoNE STATES PASS LAWS PROHIBITING USE FOREIGN
 LANGUAGE IN SCHOOLS

WASHINGTON, June 12-The su- preme court held invalid the state statutes prohibiting the use of foreign languages in public and private school houses below the eighth grade. as passed by twenty-one states. The de- cision stated that the statutes were an encroachment on the rights conferred by the fourteenth amendment to the constitution, which provides, "The United States shall not deprive any person life, liberty and property, with out due process of law" Justice Key holds delivered the majority of the op- inion asserting that the fourteenth am- endment without doubt, denotes free dom from body restraint, and. also the right of the individual to contract or engage in any common occupation of life, to acquire useful knowledge and bring up his family of children accord ing to the dictates of his own con- science" he added "this liberty can not be interferred with under the guise of protecting public interests"

NAVY MUST BE KEPT IN READINESS SAYS
 SEC. DENBy
"WORLD FULL OF MENACE" SEC RETARY OF NAVY TELLS AM
 NAPOLIC CLASS

NEWPORT, R. l., June 12- Warning that the navy must be kept ready for defense ''in a world full of menace" was given by Secretary Denby in his recent address to the graduating class of the naval war college.
 "We know now beyond peradven- ture that war between great powers or groups of powers will always in volve many other nations and we can not say with certainty that such war may not come at any time. There need be no demand for excessive arma ment. There will be none for a great increase of our present estimate made by the navy department at the com ming session of congress. We shall ask for additional light draft gun boats, the vital need of which is being demonstrated every day; and we shall ask forscertain submarines and aero-- planes.
 we hope to keep the proposed con- struction within the limits reached last year"
 The secretary referred to such con- troversies between branches of the service as that between advocates of aviation and the capital ships as often unnecessary and misleading"

JUNEAU, Alaska, June 6-Removai of the executive and administrative of fees of the Alaska Road Commission from Juneau to Anchorage was an- nounced by Col. J. c.

Chamber Commerce
 Discusses New Tariff
INTERIOR RESIDENTS GIVEN A CHEAPER RATE VIA ANCHOR
 AGE THAN BY SEWARD

The Seward Chamber of Commerce held it's weekly luncheon today, ana many important matters were brought rn for discussion. w. H. Whittlesey, nresident of the chamber, was ln the chair. and c. c. Hinde and John A. Clark were guests.
 number of communications were received and acted upon. One or the most important matters to come De- fore the chamber was the new freight tariff of the Alaskan Engineering Commission, effective in April, 1925, Tn which it was alleged that Seward was discriminated against. The new rates on first class freight from Seattle to Fairbanks was reported as follows:
 Via Seward, $394 per 100 lbs.
 Via Anchorage, s3S2 per 100 lbs.
 The steamships receive the follow ing proportion;
 Via Seward, $1.2O per 100 lbs.
 Via Anchorage, $1.35 per 100 lbs.
 This makes a discrimination against Seward of 27 cents per 100 lbs. or s5.4O per ton, which was declared un- inst in that it was a further haul to Anchorage, and freight rates paid to the steamship companies were taken from the southern division of the Alas ka railroad By paying shipper 12c per 100 lbs, provided he billed his freight via Anchorage, it caused con- siderable tonnage to be diverted, with a longer haul from Seattle by boat, and the loss of the freight to the rail road
 It was alleged that this discrimina- ton against freight shipments via Seward was made by Col. Mears in di- rect violation of his word to Seward business men.
 Mayor L. " Ray made very inter- esting report of his trip over the gov ernment railroad to Fairbanks and re- turn with the Congressional party. and gave some concise statements as to what Alaskans might expect from con- gress in the future. He also outlined plan for the upbuilding of Alaska, which was presented to the congress sional party, and which will be given to our readers in the near future.
 J. A. Clark, of Fairbanks, gave an interesting talk of conditions in the Interior, and told of how the cham bers along the railroad might work for civic betterment.
 H. E. Wilson, cashier of the Bank of Seward, received the regrets of the members present over his leaving on one of the next boats, to reside in the states, and in reply assured the mem bers he would work for Seward in his new home, whenever the occasion arose. MT. Wilson has been in the Northland IT years, and his departure is a distinct loss to the chamber. C. c. Hinde was elected to fill his place as treasurer of the club.
