BANKERS URGE TARIFF REVISION.

The International Bankers committee which has been considering the restoration of prosperity at its conference at Basel Switzerland assaied exist ing tariff laws as "obstructions to commerce which must be revised before there can be economic i'm provement."
 It will not dispose of this declaration to say that there were European bankers at the conference The chairman of the committee is Albert Henry Wiggin Chairman of the Board and former President of the Chase National Bank or New York and among the foremost of American business men, In addition to his connection with the Chase National Bank he is director in thirty five other leading financial manufacturing, industrial transportation and other corporations He has been Secretary President and Chairman of the Executive Committee of the New York Clearing House, serving that organization for nearly twenty years. He is Republican.
 Under the circumstances it cannot be said that American interests were not well represented on the committee or that the committee had partisan politics in mind
 The first thing that the next Congress ought to do is to take up for radical downward revision the Hawley- Shoot tariff law. Until we reduce that we cannot in good faith ask other countries to modify their tariff laws.

WIDOW SUCCESSION CUSTOM WORRY.
 ING THE LA FOLLETTES.

Henry Allen Cooper, Republican, served in Con- grass from Wisconsin from 1893 until 1881, except for one term after his defeat in 1918 due to his refusal to cooperate with the La Folettes. Last year he elected for another term but death intervened and his successor must be chosen at
 special election. The La Follettes had been count ing upon filling the vacancy with political friend, but the situation has been complicated by the circumstance that the veteran legislators widow has announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination Whether to attempt to defeat her nomination or acquesce is an important matter with the La Toilette brothers and Senator Blaine The psople in so many Congressional Districts in many parts of the country have approved the election of widow to fill out her husbands s unexpired term that, it is said the La Follettes are wondering Mrs. Cooper declares that she will run without platform other than that she VIII carry on as her husband had done for nearly two years.

Yukon's Representative.
CVictoria, B. C., Colonist.)

(VlctOrla, B. o., COlOnlSID
 It was a happy choice indeed that MT. George Black the Speaker of the House of Commons, should have been chosen as a representative on the com- mittee which is discussing the preliminares of a British Columbia Yukon Alaska Highway It is a compliment to the Yukon, which MT. Black has represented in the House Commons for so many years. It is compliment, well, that one oc- cupying the position he does in Parliament should have been asked to devote so much time when not actively engaged in parliamentary duties, to rem dering aid towards what it is believed will even- tually develop into service of very high import ance for this part of the Dominion.
 MT. Black, in the office of Speaker, has won the confidence of members of the House of Commons of all shades of political opinion He combines those qualities and characteristics which make for high judicial acumen essential to successful Speaker ship He has stamped his method of presiding over the deliberations of the House as that is marked by outstanding fairness In long line of successful Speakers he has proved his title to being endowed with that judgment, courage and impartiality with which the office is historically associated.
 MT. Blacks ability to speak in behalf of the Yukon in the matter of the North and South road which Dr. Tolmie has put in the forefront of his policies cannot be questioned He has the confidence of the people of the Northland, knows it's trans portation needs and is persuaded that such high way as is proposed will mean increased prosperity The presence here of MT. Black and the other ish Columbia Yukon Alaska Highway is earnest of another step forward towards the consummation of this project.

WHEN ALASKA PROFITS FROM
 HAWAIPS EXPERIENCE.

Before Alaska may reap the fullest benefit of being a tourist country someway must be devised to induce tourists to stop over' the country and get acquainted with it's people In this respect the Territory of Hawaii has long lead over this Territory.

 Steamer booking records at Honolulu show that a very large percentage of Hawais visitors apply for time extensions on their tickets Travellers find the steamship companies anxious to please in this
