RULE OF FORCE vS. LAW.

Denying the accuracy of figures used by sena= tor Edwards of New Jersey in his recently published magazine article "Shot In The Back, in which he asserted that the killing of citizens by Government agents since Prohibition went into effect in 1920 runs into four figures, Assistant Secretary Lowman of the Treasury De- partment fixes the total of which there were records being actually 175 killed of whom 49 were Dry agents This number represents those killed in direct connection with enforcement ef- forts he said. and does not include those who died in bootlegging feuds and general criminal activities.
 On one point MT. bowman and Senator Ed wards are in substantial agreement. That is, in the majority of cases where deaths have resulted, Prohibition agents were exonerated and there have been few convictions of the agents in court. Of more than passing interest, also, is MT Low mans assertion that Treasury regulations recently have emphasized that agents must. not use fire arms except in self-defense. He said he would be in favor of disarming agents entirely but such action was impossible because of the criminals with whom they had to deal and 1t was neces- sary for the agents to be armed for self-protee- tion
 Officers of the law, whether they be prohibi- tion agents or officers of any other branch of law enforcement, are entitled to protect them selves in the performance of their duty No just criticism can be laid against them if, in defense of their own lives they kill their assailants Also if they see a felony about to be committed in their presence. or if who has committed felony is about to escape, there is legal jus tificaton for them to shoot. No such latitude Is granted them however. in crimes involving only misdemeanors And where they depart from this rule where they shoot at >citzens, lawbreakers though they may be. without such cause, when they deliberately shoot where there is no pro vocation, possibly the theory that poten- tial lawbreaker may be escaping them for the moment there is no for them and in such instances as they may occur, the law should deal with them severely and adequately
 For two reasons this is the proper course to pursue The paramount reason, of course, IS that all citizens entitled to the protection of the law against those using deadly weapons without Justification whether the user be an officer or a private citizen. And the second, is that the officer who seeks to take advantage oi his position who without the Justification of self defense etc. deliberately shoots in such manner as to endanger the lives of others, is hurting the off cers, largely in the majority, who are going about the execution of their duties in the manner prescribed and intended by the law The prin- ciples embodied in these reasons are not new They are fundamental to this country. When ever for any cause they ate set aside or ignored we shall approach dQninaton by force instead of the rule of reasonable and equitable law

An Opportunity for Local Mining
 Associations.
Engineering and Mining Journal)

Requests for information about mining securi- ties continue to be feature of the morning mail. For instance, a letter rom an Arkahsas subscriber asks if in opinion, the current dividend of a Utah lead-sver company lis Tea- sonably safe at the present low price or lead ana silver" and adds, is the company managed by experienced and honest officials As to the con tinuance of dividends it is unwise of course, to venture opinion without an lhtimate knowledge of the company's affairs
 Questions like these again bring up the need of some kind of financial service available to those who have small to invest. General advlce is freely given not to put money m company without keeping in close touch with it's affairs; yet usually the only sources of information are in- complete company reports, published at nfrequent intervals, and the propaganda Of Interested prok- CTS who always advise buying, but never recom- mend selling The technical press permits one to keep in touch with the news of what company is doing from an operating standpoint, but thls is of little help in judging the value or the companys securities Local Chambers of Con- merce mining associations State bureaus oi mines, and other similar organizations might de- yelop facilities that would be of great value to the small investor, in giving unpreiudiced information concerning companies in their terri tories Such information need not be in the na- ture of a definite recommendation to buy or sell certain securities but would rather be confined to detailed statements of current operations and earnings and ore reserves, with the business records of the managemnt and packers of the enterprise In other worlds Information should be available that would give a prospective in- vestor sufficient material on which to base an intelligent opinion as to the value of the stock at the prevailing price and dividend rate if any.
 If an unprejudiced organization is prepared tol extend such service. the E. M J. will bel only too glad to make the fact known Such al local chamber, if not of the local booster type, might easily attain national reputation and thus attract considerable amount of money for mining investments in the territory it represents.

Ghastly descriptions were drawn oi how saloons like those which used to be in IIes Kitchen here would swarm in Denver II Judge White
 His majority will be nearly 5000. His oppon- ent was powerful in party nolitics aaa had the dry tradition or ,le State behind him In 1926 the Republican candidate for Congress in Den yer had by 1000 votes at an election which included the defeat of proposal to provide Tor the manufacture and sale of liquor whenever It does not conflict with the Federal laws As Tar back as 1914, Colorado. by a vote of l25.5S9 to 11S,017, adopted State prohibition amendment and in 1918 had on initiative prohibited the pos session of liquor for personal use. The Denver Congressional District had given Coolidge 5000 in 1924 against 1S.00O for the combined opposi- ton. and in 1920 Harding had q Denver major Ity of 21000 So it was against long standing Republican dominance and featy to the dry laws that Judge White made his effort. The able and open manner in which he did It, and the high ground he took in calling mdoiication a move to cleanse the Government of scandal, hao the effect which it is having increasingly in cities that have come to realize the evils of Volstead- ism.
 Judge White repudiated the charge that he was stalking for Tammany and Governor Smltn He is man in his own right. But there IS surely a lesson in his victory for those strate- gists' who are urging upon Governor Smith that he pretend timidly to views on the prohibition question which his entire record and recent American experience crushingly controvert The plain truth is- that when this issue IS presented lintellgently. ably and broadly there is grow ing public to respond.

THIRD DIVISION COURT
 HEADQUARTERS.

The Anchorage Chamber of Commerce recently announced its intention of going after head quarters of the Federal District Court for the Third Division which is now located at Valdez. If successful this would mean the removal from the latter town of the official residence of Judge E. Coke Hill, his offices the offices of Clerk of Court, United States Attorney and United States Marshal and their personnel. There is nothing concealed about the movement at Anchorage. It is open and above board.
 While this may lead to free for all fight. if is a matter of course, about which the residents of the Third Division only are deeply concerned and for the Department of Justice to decide The question of which location is of more con yenience to the general public, which lends itself more readily to the greater number of people with business to transact is of some importance However the justice of taking away those offices from the town of Valdez under existing circumstances is one that admits of argument Undoubtedly there will be opponents to the Anchorage movement and they should be given an opportunity to express their views before the Department takes any action.
 The Anchorage organization sponsoring the move probably is not selfshly motivated Very likely 1t is convinced that located at Anchorage the Federal Court would be more readily ae cessble to larger number of the residents o the Division than At Valdez. lessening costs tt the local public if not to the Federal Govern ment It cannot reasonably be expected to view the instice of the move from the yaldea angle Chambers of Commerce are seldom constitute' in Such fashion.

would seem that Anchorage has two tasks on it's hand.
