 COUNCIL TQ JUNEAU

The Seward City Council yeSter- day dispatched the following tel egrams to the President of the Sen ate, at Juneau, in protest of Sena- tor Hess of Fairbanks measure in which he proposes to tax petro- leum products and merchandise. The messages were signed by P. c. McMullen, Mayor:
 President of the Senate, Juneau.
 The Common Council of the City of Seward directs and authorizes the undersigned make specific pro- test against gas and fuel oil tax upon all vessels engaged in com- mercial fishing upon the ground that vessels of the halibut fleet, salmon fleet and herring fleet, op- erating in Alaskan waters are en- gagged in a hazardous occupation and should not be further penalzed.

THE BOYS THEY MOVE

YeSterday there were two ex- tremely busy young men in Seward. Larry Bucey and Dave Turney, the Dr. 1enkyl and MT Hyde of this fair city. Well, perhaps, not 50 bad. In any case they have moved from the Arcade Apartments into a home on Third Avenue, next to the John Nelson residence. Open house will be announced later.

upon methods and conditions in the National Training School
for Boys the Badensburg Road That is Federal nsti
tuition for criminal wayward delinquent boys Some District
boys there paid for by the District Government
Severe punishmen for these young offenders lack Of
among the things critized.
As to strictly District institutions the severest attack is
made upon the Training School for Girls located at Murk
Md To this institution sent delinquent white girls Of
this city from IA 81 years age depending upon their
soffenses.
There too according to the commission restricted
activities monotony lack Of vocational training and recreation
with occasional punishment of inmates
criticisms directed the systems and the short
comings that should be corrected by legislation.
In the Murrk school the girls should be- but not kept
occupied with vocational training that will send them out

right training.
Unoccupied minds cannot but lead among this sort Of

Secretary Of State Stimson
has arrived in italy and will
consult with the minister Of
foreign affairs and with Mus
solini. He announces in one
breath that he wished to be
treated precisely as a tourist
and a private citizen and will
hold conferences with the
heads Of the State.
OF course he is wise enough
to know that in the present
chaotic condition Of the world,
due in part to Administration
policies, he cannot traverse
Europe as a private citizen. It
is assumed that he will talk
with the heads Of nations on
the wisdom Of an armament
limitation plan, but he will not
be able to direct the converse
tions wholly.
In some quarters he will be
told that the best way to help
Europe is to cancel the deDts
entirely; and he can answer
that easily by saying that pub
lie sentiment here would not
sustain the Administration in
such an act.
But he will hear about the
effect Of our tariff wall on the
economic conditions Of Europe
and he cannot say that senti-
ment in America Is ayainss

though seldom mentioned by financial expers the

Some of these gentlemen always with U.s.

them in the of $780, particularly in New York As
result of that campaign the principal operators driven
in other States hundreds Of thousands dollars

Try an experiment. Ask ten
women what they think Of the

Licensed BullieS
Another By-Product of Prohibition

Prohibition Commissioner woodcoc when he is not too busy
issuing optimistic statements about the noble experiment will
favor looking into the actions Of three Of his
al Long Beach, N. Y, the other night.

desk; and SO the Secretary Of
State cannot escape his re-
sponsibility even on the tariff.
In the old days we had an
army of lobbyists for interests
seeking favorS in Washing
ton when Congress was franz
ing a tariff act; now we have
active lobbyists there all the
time. But these lobbyists are
the diplomatic representatives
of other nations. They will be
camping on the doorstep Of the
White House and the State
Department much Of the time.
The tariff has been made more
of a diplomatic issue by the
flexibility clause which never
yet has been used to serve the
interest Of the American con-
sumers.
An American Secretary Of
State henceforth should be a
tariff expert.
Not Diverted by
Waving Of Flags
Much is being made Of the
Presidents attempt to bring
about the economic stabilization
of the Old World Through the
debt moratorium, and now and
then some one interp7ses with
the suggestion that sdRmething
can be done along tfhat line
which will also help tow\ard the
restoration of normal traNe con-
ditions here through dir9\ct &C
ton by the President ,c (oking
toward the lowering Of ou1f pro-
hibitive tariff wall.
These are quite frank ABOUT
wanting to help the hard-presSSed
people of this country as wellN as
those of Europe. They have MOT
been diverted from the breaN1 l.
lines by the waving Of flagsk;
nor in the shouting Of the cart-
tains have they forgotten that
from five to six million Of ourN
own people are out Of employ
ment.
There can be no restoration
of a sound and lasting pros
perity by continuing to war on
economic laws to serve the in
terest of a privileged few.
Armament may partly be re-
sponsible for the worlds sick
ness; the debts are a part;
but tariff walls to keep one ma
ton from trading with another
are a big part.
Effect on Business
Remains to Be Seen
It remains to be seen to, what
extent the kind of agreement
made as to the moratorium
will revive business and conf.
dence. The public should not
be swept off its feet by the
clamor. Business will not begin
to hum by tomorrow. The pub
lie knows that the Presidents
action was not inspired by hui
manitarian motives, but was
literally forced by the desperate
plight Of Germany. And the
very action taken has tended
to awaken the public to that
condition. Some good will be
accomplished, but we must
wait q little on events to de.
termine the extent.

In the old days an Amer
ican Secretary of State could
have gone to Europe without
hearing much about a tariff
act, however obnoxious. The
answer then would have been
easy enough-that tariff max

RAIL WORKERS
AID BRETHREN
Arrange Part Jobs;
100 in City to Benefit.

Taking the task of unemployment
relief into their own hands, mem
berS of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen in the United States
and Canada will give up four to
six days work each month in order
to afford part-time employment to
the 1000 unemployed trainmen.
Approximately 100 men will be
benefited by the plan in Indian
apolis, according to j. Frank Nc
Cormick, chairman of the local
Big -Four branch. The plan will
become effective Sept. /.
Temporary regulations, adopted
at the national convention recent
ly, limit monthly mileages of mem
bers of the brotherhood as follows:
Regular passenger trainmen and
exclusive extra passenger trainmen,
$500 miles; other extra passenger
trainmen, $500 miles; regular
freight trainmen, $500 miles, and
extra freight trainmen, 5000 miles.
Regular yard trainmen and
switch tenders, under the plan, will
work twenty-six days a month.
Twenty-four days per month will
be the maximum for extra yard
trainmen.
Backers of the plan point out
that it will add no expense to the
railroad companies.
