POWER TO TAX IS POWER TO
 CONFISCATE.

Once more it is made evident that the power of That is clearly apparent in the decision of Judge Harding in the brought against the Territory of Alaska to set aside the nonresident troers license enacted by the last Territorial Legisla- ture In this he quoted the United States Supreme Court, in an earlier case involving the validity of another Alaska tax statute, in these words: Even if the tax should destroy business, it would not be invalid or require compensation"
 Taxes, all of them, necessary evils The ideal tax is which assesses against each ind- vidual industry his it's proportionate share of the total that is required to the neces- sary costs of government When the assessments manifestly unequaly distributed, when the total tax collected is dsproportionately larger than the cost of government it is negotiable tax but not necessarily an illegal tax
 Tax laws may be and often are in practice noticeably negotiable and at the same time un- assailabe the ground of violation of constitu- tional limitations
 The power of the Alaska Legislature to impose taxes is very broad. And it is a power that can be easily abused to the detrment of the whole com munty. For that reason it behooves the responsible citizens of the Territory, people who own property or have ambitions to become property owners, to exercise the greatest possible care in the selection of their legislators to the end that the taxing power be wisely exercised.

The Boy.
(NeW York TimeS.)

Public speakers sometimes stir in boys the ambi- tion day to become President of the United States. It is fortunate that when one of them does reach that supreme place, he retains some thing of the boy-some "tinge of boyhood" in the grown man. President Taft, who was the first Honorary President of the Boy Scouts of America, still kept that something even when age had come upon him, and President Hoover, in his address at the Boy Scout dinner, attended by his Cabinet, gave fresh evidence that the cares of office have not banished the boy in him diminished his interest in boyhood His sketch of the generic boy deserves a place in the literature concerning this perpetual problem" this complex of cells
 teeming with affection, filled With
 curiosity to every mortal thing, radiatng
 sunlight to all the world endowed with
 dynamic energy and the mpeing desire to
 take exercise all occasions-a periodic
 nuisance, the child of iniquity
 but a joy forever
 The question may be asked, in the words of another President lover of boys who never ceased being himself, whether the boy is getting "a square deal" One-half the boys in America born in cities, and have Secretary Wilbur added taken out of the city practically everything the boy likes the streams the trees the romance of life, the lore of the frontier and the campfire, and left him dull streets moving vehicles too many adults and nothing every inter esting for the real boy" Instead of the round of seasons he has only changes in temperature and never sees the burning bush the further side of the mountain unless he has the good fortune to be brought at intervals into the presence of forces not set in motion by man.
 Programs such as that of the Boy Scouts fand. for the boys sister. such as those of the Girl Scouts and Camp Fire Grls) seek to bring these things back, or take boys out where they still to be found. Even the engineer who builds cities feels the need of matching human patience against the deliberatve character of fish, and knows that there thousands of mysteries which defy his computations, yet have values contributing to hap piness to the building of human character, to the establishing of "fragant hopes in youth that find constructive joy through life, and to the nour- ishng of a citizenship with a stronger of responsibility. This national organization is at tempting to do it for million boys today but, as President Hoover said, America has material for ten million Scouts" It awaits only larger means to extend it's activities to cope with this powerful statistic"

crate vets were more numerous than the fanatical drys. In fact, 46 out of the AS States disapproved Prohibition is at that time-only Kansas and Oklahoma giving dry majorities
 Congress at that time took no official notice of the Digests poll and it's results Perhaps it took the view that Prohibition was too recent to have had fair chance. And the Anti-Saloon League and it's allies were more powerful then than they are now while there no organized opposition. Today the opponents of Prohibition have organizations which are leading in the effort to effect change.
 With this unity of effort, and eight years more of experience from which to draw conclusions than available in 1922, it seems not unreasonable to conclude that wet majority out of 2o0O0OOO votes actually cast would not be allowed to pass unnotced by the nations lawmakers.

THE EIELSON MEMORIAL.

Senator Yves proposal to Alaskan mountain in honor of the late Col Carl Ben Eielson strikes a responsive chord in the hearts of all Alaskans Copper Mountain, the peak to be re- named is now known has no particular significance And even if it had, it would not seriously weigh against changing that to Mount Eielson |
 Col. Eielson's part in the development of aerial navigation in Alaska is outstanding. Not only was he the pioneer of such science in the Territory, but he demonstrated that the arplane was not only a commercial possibility here, but that it was peculiarly adapted to local needs and, thus fitted to play an important role in Territorial develop ment. He, also by personal prestige, able to consolidate small groups of operating units into organization and impart stability to aerial trans portation in interior Alaska that was one of the industry's greatest needs.

BOdenhamer's Plea.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 National Commander O. L. Bodenhamer, of the American Legion, declares himself to be stanch world-peace partisan, but he asserts that Americans should not believe that lasting peace is assured, or that it will be assured. He therefore, advo- cates reasonable preparedness by the unification of the man and industrial power of the Nation.
 Commander Bodenhamer declares that there is no better time than the present to insure adequate protection by forming close alliance between our man. power and those industries capable of produc ing the necessities to equip and strengthen army in the event of hostilities
 The experience of the world and ordinary know ledge of the tendencies of human nature justify the Legion leader in his belief and conclusion in this respect Moreover, the properly organized, equipped and trained man-power coordinated with and cooperating with the national industrial power means to the security of American peace, and the extension of peace throughout the world than all the conferences that ever will be assembled in the interests of national and world tranquility The nation strong and prepared for defense is enemy to society but rather guarantor of peace and that justice and equity which implied in the conception of peace.
 To the American Legion, and to the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution, particularly the nation looks for that sort of agitation which will keep alive love of country and the need for that country's defnse And these great and splendid organizations doing this work with sacrosanct passion that has its inspiration in the noblest in stincts and impulses of humanity. To them the country and its hallowed institutions stand repre- sentatves of the truest and worhest ideals of free democracy and they proclaim with persistent pa triotism the principles of liberty and the citizens duty to protect and defend them.

THE LITERARY DIGEST POLL.

While the number of votes canvassed in the na- tonwide poll of The Literary Digest Prohibition is inconsequential in relation to the total to be taken, yet the early trend toward a change in the present status cannot be without significance Fig ures for the second weeks count representing less than five per cent of the estimated 2OOO00OO votes to be cast show both repeal and modification are ahead of enforcement, and that the first two com bined, termed by The Digest as "wets" and "moists have majority of almost three over the third group.
 The fairness of The Digest's polls has been too well established for it to be seriously questioned in this instance Undoubtedly the vote so far is rep resentative of cross section of the population in the 20 States and the District of Columbia from which it was taken And regardless of the final outcome of the balloting, the result will fairly depict, we believe, the sentiment of the country as a whole.
 Some eight years ago, The Digest took its first poll on national Prohibition, something that has generally been overlooked since the present was announced In 1922 when Prohibition was com- paratively new it conducted poll on a basis of votes apportioned among the States in accordance with their population. The results of this as follows:
