REFERENDUM ON PEACE PLAN IS
BEGUN; BOX INVITES AMERICANS
To VOTE on WINNING PROPOSAL

That Alaskans may join in the
referendum on the question OF
adopting the prize winning plan of
the American Peace Award which
provides for cooperation by the
United States with other nations
toward the prevention of war, The
Empire is publishing a concise state
ment of the plan and ballot for
Use by its readers. 1t is doing so
at the request of the American
Peace Award, which, in this man
ner, seeks to get an expression of
opinion from a wide cross-section
of the American public.
The plan appeared in full in
Tuesdays issue of The Empire. Its
author, who will remain unknown
until after the referendum has been
completed. was awarded the $780,
600 prize offered by Edward Box
for the best practical suggestion of
American cooperation with other
nations for preventing war.
Question for Vote.
The substantial provisions which
constitute the plan selected by the
Jury of Award, and upon which the
vote of the American people is
asked, are hereby submitted by the
Policy Committee as follows:
l. Enter the Permanent Court.
That the United States adhere TO
the Permanent Court of Interna-
tional Justice for the reasons and
under the conditions stated by Sec
retary Hughes and President Hard
ing in February, 1928.
II. Cooperate with the League of
Nations, Without Full Member
chip - Present.
That without becoming a MEM
ber of the League of Nations as at
present constituted, the United
States Government should extend its
present cooperation with the League
and propose participation in the
work of its Assembly and Council
under the following conditions and
reservations.
Safeguarding of Monroe Doctrine.
/. The United States accepts the
League of Nations as an instrument
Of mutual counsel, but it will as
sumo no obligation to interfere
with political questions of policy or
internal administration of any for
eign state.
In uniting its efforts with those
of other States for the preservation
of peace and the promotion OF the
common welfare, the United States
insists upon the safeguarding of
tie Monroe Doctrine and does not
abandon its traditional attitude con-
cerning American independence of
the Old World and does not consent
to submit its long established pol
icy concerning questions regarded
by 1t as purely American to the
recommendation or decision of other
Powers.
No Military or Economic Force.
2. The only kind of compulsion
which nations can freely engage to
apply to each other in the name of
Peace is that which arises from
conference, from moral judgment,
from full publicity, and from the
power of public opinion.
Tie United States will assume no
obligations under Article X in its
present form, or under Article XVI
in its present form in the Covenant,
or in it's amended form as now pro-
posed, unless in any particular case
Congress has authorized such action.

The United States proposes that
Article X and XVI be either drop
ped altogether or SO amended and
as to eliminate any sug-
gestion of a general agreement to
use coercion for obtaining conform
ity to the pledges of the Covenant.
No Obligation Under Versailles
Treaty.
8. The United States will accept
no responsibilities under the Treaty
of Versailles unless in any par
ticular case Congress has authorized
such action.
League Open to AL Nations.
4. The United States Govern
ment proposes that Article | Of
the Covenant be construed and ap-
piled, or, if necessary, redrafted,
so that admission to the League
shall be assured to any self-govern-
ing State that wishes to join and
that receives the favorable vote of
two-thirds of the Assembly.
Development of International Law.
5. AS condition of its par
ticipation in the work and counsels
of the League, the United States
asks that the Assembly and Council
oonsent-'or obtatn apT hoSity-ifo
begin collaboration for the revision
and development of international
law, employing for this purpose
the aid of a commission of jurists.
No ,i ncfo would ha IirnRf a
to formulate anew existing rules of
the law of nations, to reconcile di-
vergent opinions, to consider points
hitherto inadequately provided for
but vital to the maintenance of in
ternational justice, and in general
to define the social rights and duties
of States. The recommendations of
the Commission would be pres
ented from time to time, in proper
form for consideration, to the As
sembly as to a recommending il not
a law-making body.
Attracts Much Notice.
In a statement submitted with
the plan at it's announcement for
lClCi MI. Dun odius
with deep satisfaction l present
fer the consideration and vote of
the American people the plan Sc
lected by the Jury as entitled to
the American Peace Award under
the conditions.
1.-The Award brought forth %, ,165
plans. Since many of them were
the composite work of organiza-
tions, universities, etc., single
plan often represented the views of
hundreds of thousands of indi-
viduals. There were also received
several hundred thousand of letters
which, while they did not submit
plans, suggested in almost each in
stance a solution of the peace prob
lem.
1.-The Jury had therefore before 1t
an index of the true feeling and
Judgment of hundreds Of thousands
of American citizens. The plans
came from every group in American
life Some were obviously from
lifelong students of history and in
ternetional law. Some were from
persons who have studied little, but
who have themselves seen and felt
the horror of war-or who are even
now living out its tragedy.
However unlike, they almost ali
express or imply the same convic-
ton: That this is the time for

and unfair politicians are unfair in
their charges with most public OIL
Gals, and that the State Tax Com
mission has been among those officials
which have been brought under fire,
but that they did not have at the
most more than three mills within
their discretion. the board of county
commissioners of any county being
required by law to levy most all tax
es. Mr.. Link stated that less than
two mills of the average q mills
would cover the expense of the state
house. new state office building and
everything connected with the state
government.
Statements, articles and resolutions
of the Mumper- Dakan coalition and
their followers were taken up in de-
tail and refuted. The contentious
that the Burlington and Union Pacific
railroads were under assessed and
allower to base their rates upon a
greatly inflated value were shown to
be false. 1t was shown that during
the first year of their existence the
Tax Commission greatly increased
the taxation of corporations and now
they are assessed higher than ever
before in the history OF the state.
The effect Of this high tax has caused
a pronounced movement toward muir
icipal ownership of public utilities
throughout the state. He elso ex-
planned the reduction of the Denver
levy. stating that it was reduced about
$1S.000,000. but also stated that it
had previously been increased over
s100, 200 which proved to be too
much. His figures also proved that
the agricultural land and livestock
of the state had been decreased over
seventy millions during the past three
years, and that the State Commission
had approved the reductions
A brief history of the Tax Commits
sion was given by Mr.. Link. the con
dition of the state before It's creation
what it has accomplished and what
IL is striving to accomplish He
stated that over thirty states now
have tax commissions ana that those
who have none ARE still in thr back
woods in taxation He said the
commission has labored with the leg
islature to improve the :ax system
aud it hoped the next legislature will
adopt laws for income tax and a
special rate on intangibles which vii!
require much welatn to pay taxes
which now is paying none.
He stated that the coun.f assessor
Is by far the most important county
official. and paid high tribute 10
Assessor Rouze as being ode af the
best in the state. He also scored
the numerous agitators, "of the Mum
per- Dakan stripe" as being the worst
enemies in the world OF tile honest
farmers.
Mr.. Link. in company with Assessor
Rouze went to Haxtun. Tuesday and
held meeting there that evening.
