at the mine than is our unfair compe- tion. With the large margin of profit that those foreign mines have due to this difference in labor cost, what IS to stop them from greatly reducing their price whenever our compeuvu is a factor in the Alaskan r q and thus putting us out or business over night. With such a candotioR confronting us, it is up to everybody to unite and keep hammering away until we are protected by a tariff wall ample enough to enable the infant Alaskan coal industry to become a grown up.
 Very truly yours,

BETTER TO PAY TAXES

Here is something to give the shlv- ers to our best minds England is SC riously discussing levy on capital which means solving England's finan- cial situation by simply taking a large part of every body's fortune, not the income, but the actual capital, prop erty ol all kinds. Only $20,O0O would be exempt. From man will mi lion dollars, $6O0,000 would be taken We imagine that here where We 70 not even pretend to collect income taxes on great fortunes, that there would be an awful howl go up and capital would be tucked away so rap idly and securely that the nation would go bankrupt.

EDGE HITS At
vOLSTEAD ACT
Is Speaker at EIks Event
Governor SiIzer Also Heard
at Convention

AsBURY PARK, June 22-"As
long as 1 am a member of the Uni
ted States senate will wor kto bring
the yolstead act within the proper
lines of common sense and reason"
was the stand taken by U. S. Senator
Edge in an address before the con-
vention of the New Jersey depart
ment of Elks at their annual BAN
quet here last night.
'I believe that the people of New
Jersey are as law abiding as are the
constituencies of any other state in
the union,' continued the New Jer-
sey senator, but 1 say this, 7 will
not be a hypocrite in public or pri-
vate life.
'I believe that the people of New
Jersey or a large majority of them,
as far as 1 can analyze their view
point, say very frankly that this
congress of the United States IN
passing the Volstead act has delib-
erately violated the constitution oi
the United States. No one can ques-
ton the absolute necessity of Law
observance. But we do believe that
in writing law, enacting law, especial
ly where it proposes to carry out the
mandates of the people of great
nation as set forth in the 1Stf
amendment they should have writer
the 18th amendment into the Vol
stead act, instead of making tn
Volstead act the great lie as it com
pares to the amendment"
Directing attention to this coun
try's position in regard to its pro
hibition of foreign ships entering
our ports with liquor aboard, Sen
ator Edge declared that the sittia'
ton. was because of the VolsteaC
act and that ''the constitution doe;
not prohibit such a thing"
Silzer is Speaker
Governor Silzer, who was schedu-
led as a speaker before the Elks
appeared despite doctors order;
to remain at his summer home
The governor made a plea for tbs
continuance by the Elks of then
campaign in aid of crippled child
rem of the state. and said, Il dom
care what criticism they may make
of DIR. Lorenz. There is one thing
they cannot deny. and that is tina
he has stimulated a public interes
in these things"
Touching slightly on the liquoi
question, the governor remarked
that Il am glad to see that Senator
Edge is coming around to oul
views"

fense's case before the jury. He
made a terrific verbal attack upon

thing that the government must de-
pend upon men like Dey. In the good
old days they would take such men
as he to the nearest lamppost and
hang him" He maintained that the
whole action was a "frame-ups and

cepted a 500 bribe in a liquor raid
