C0ST|GAN RAPS
TARIFF BOARD

Official Washington gasped to-
day over the resignation from the
Tariff Commission of Commissions
Edward P. Costigan, Democrat and
last of the original Wilson APP
pointees President Coolidge accepted
the resignation.
Costigan's resignation accompanied
by the publication of a letter he
wrote Senator Joseph T. Robinson,
ID of Arkansas, replete with per-
sonal attacks on his fellow members
of the commission and President
Coolidge himself, was the cuulmina-
ton of controversy over the
activities of the tariff body for more
than two years.
fusing to act when decisive" evil
dence showed that certain tariff
rates should be lowered, Costigan
said in his letter to Robinson,
"helped to wreck the commission
usefulness.
The three commissioners who
compose the commission with Costi-
gan, he referred to as 1.-The Marvin
group who worked steadily for
higher rates and against important
reductions, were reckless on occa-
sions in their treatment Of facts and
law"

couldn't be duplicated with billion
tons of nitroglycerine. This blast
probably tossed enough crystal ma
terial out into space to form the
moon-possibly it was responsible
for the vast basins where roll the
Seven Seas.
OF all the hypothesis advanced by
men of learning from the ancient
mythologists down to modern scien-
lists, these appear to DIR. William
Bowie, widely known isostist of the
United States Coast and Geodetic
Survey, to be the most plausible ex-
plantations of the origin of the moon
and the ocean beds.
Billions of years ago, in geological
antiquity, there came a time in the
molding of the earth when a crust
formed over the flaming hot interior.
Under the crust were generated
powerful gases.
1T is not beyond belief to imagine
that these pent-up forces caused a
terrible blast with the power Of a
million volcanoes" Bowie said. "a
great area of the hot surface was
hurled far out beyond the atmR-
phere. This mass may have formed
the moon-other crystal material
cast upward by the super-Volcano
possibly scattered into meteor
clouds"
Whether the moon was dragged"
away from the earth by soms out
side attraction, or whether it was
literally "shot off," it's density is
3.3 times that of water-approx-
imately the same as the earth
crust, while there are other geolog-
ical similarities making it appear
that the moon was born of the
earth"
Bowie pointed out that meteor
ties which reach the earth likewise
are similar in material, indicating
they were once a part of the earth
or some other like body.
Many fundamental questions of
this character will be discussed
this summer in Holland at the
meeting of the International Astron-
omical Union. Among the important
reports will be one dealing with
the results of the international
longitudinal survey. in which this
government participated.
The accurate determination of the
Iongitudes of the continents and
large islands will form a basis for
determining whether North and
South America are drifting grad.
ually away from Africa and Europe
The new survey has established
for the first time an accurate loca.
ton. of the various countries. The
lines will be rechecked periodically
and should material changes be
detected the theory of floating
continents" would be established

 situated that the fish must pass close

The Bureau of Fisheries proceeds on the theory that 50Go of the fish that finally ar rive at the stream should be allow ed to enter, an aksurdity because ii a million salmon should start for a given stream and all but two are caught by the time they arrive at the stream, one salmon would be caught for canning and the other to proceed up the stream.

Denver, with 100000 inhabitants tho cultural center of a vast noun tain area, now has two newspapers, tho Rocky Mountain News, a Scripps Howard paper, in the morning, and the Denver Post, owned by F. G. Bonfils, in the evening. The latest consultations were perfected last week.
 Forty years ago, with less than q third of it's present population, Denver had five papers, all under different ownership. Men who at tained national regulations worked on Denver papers in those days, Gene Field, for instance.
 Now, the much greater city has two papers; and in a few years more both these may be under one owner ship, as has happened already in many places.
 What becomes of the freedom of the press" under such circum- tances? Freedom can be strangled as effectively by ownership as by censorship. What then?
 Two things; First the press of or ganized labor should be safeguarded extended and improved; and second, every man or woman who believes in social progress should prepare to fight to the finish against monoply control of radio.
 These are the only outlets left for the free expession of opinion. They must not be 1ost.-LABOR
