named Walker in 1925. In 1929 after Governor Smiths defeat in the national election, they seized control of the New York City Democracy, and elected one of themselves. MT. John F. Curry, the leader of Tammany Hall Thus the Junta of Democratic leaders be- came supreme in local affairs. Mayor Walker was it's creature. The Al Smith Democrats were busted from the inner councils of the Democratic Party, and the jun ta proceeded to govern New York for the profit of the district lead CTS and their henchmen.
 They had no doubt that they were invincible. They certainly appeared to be. For nobody within the Democratic Party dared to challenge them. Governor Smith acquiesced Governor Roosevelt &C., quiesced. The Seabury investiga- tion which led to the forced resig- nation of Mayor Walker received, to state the case conservatively, no encouragement from any im- portant element of the regular Democratic Party in New York State Even when Tammany had opposed MT. Roosevelt at Chicago

disorganize and then reform the party which he represents. What ever he may promise now, he is inevitably bound to compromise with the existing organization, and therefore, though there is no need to suppose that he has made any pledges, the district leaders who have joined his movement are un- doubtedly right in thinking that as between Mckee and LaGuardia, their man is Mckee.
 If the choice lay between O'Brien and Mckee, there would be no question as to which man was preferable. But it happens that there is also LaGuardla and Fusion, which, whatever may be it's deficiencies, is in this campaign inc only uncompromising enemy of the Tammany system. It is not ne- cessary to argue that the moral standards of the Fusionists are higher than the standards of Me Kees packers. The important point is that Fusion has everything to gain and nothing to lose by strik- ing at the roots of the existing abuses For it is not entangled in the system as are Mckee and his sponsors.
 When one realizes that Fusion has an excellent prospect of sweep ing the city, it seems to me that 1t would be a great mistake for the independent voters not to seize so great an opportunity to bring about a drastic change. In voting for Mckee they must gamble on how much machine politicians may be willing to risk in order to re- form the machine to which they belong. In voting for Fusion they are certain to put the existing ma chine out of business for four years.

PUBLIC OPINION AND WAR DEBTS.

The question of war debts, now engaging the attention of British and American officials at Wash ington is a highly technical one Because o1 US technical and because of its extreme import ance for the economic life of both nations, it ought to be dealt with calmly, scientifically and as a purely economic issue It ought not to be made the football of emotions Probably it would be petter solved if public opinion had nothing to do with the settlement. But public opinion is going to figure in the final decisions reached at Washington This is to be expected especially when the negotia- tons are between two democratcally governed coun- tries as in this
 It has been taken for granted that public opin-

and had been beaten, had opposed MT. Lehman at Albany and had been beaten, the domination of New York City by the junta of district leaders went unchallenged. In 1892, without any resistance from regular Democrats, they nom- mated and elected their own crea- ture, Mayor John P. O'Brien, and in 1883 they renominated him.
 Sixty days ago there was still a general belief that in spite of everything, in spite of the Walker disgrace and the impairment of the city's credit, they would win once more. So settled was the idea that Tammany could not be beaten that in organizing the anti-Tam- many Fusion ticket, no prominent Democrat could be induced to head it. The nomination went to Ma jor La-Guardia, an insurgent Re- publican, only after it had been made plain that no one represent ing the independent or the Al Smith Democrats had any stom- ach for the fight. The politicians had all of them misjudged the depth and the extent of the popu- lar revolt against the existing po- litical regime. Last summer al- most nobody realized that a popu- lar uprising was in the making, and when Fusion took the field few observers would have con- ceded that it had better than an even chance of victory. Nobody had adequately appreciated the re- sentiment of the taxpayers, par ticularly among the small home owners. Nobody had appreciated sufficiently the anxiety of the great army of city employees con-

Progress.
(Daily Journal of Commerce, seattle)


 It is claimed that the MIRA will provide Amer ican business with constitution under which 1t may operate with fairness to all-that the old hit or-miss procedure will be more-that integrity of character and real quality in products will re- ceive their due-that sharpshooting and dishonesty and will be checked. If these things can be brought about, the fear of Government in business need not cause excessive alarm. Practices in most lines of business, during the last two decades es- pecally, warrant drastic change High h-pressure methods based largely deception had reached point where safe in business. High pressure salesmen composed the advance guard of the army of racketeers that was forming, but which is being scattered by the sudden assault of the NRA There surely need for Government in governed business The public entitled to deal.
 Before those of the old school of business express themselves too loudly in condemnation of the NFA it would be well for them to consider just where they headed had not the Government placed restraining hand on one of the most ensnarled muddles that the history of business has ever re- corded-a tangle that was becoming more involved and hopeless each day.
 The MIRA may not do all that of desire, but already great deal has been accomplished. When the record is written-when we can observe the work accomplished from more distant vantage pont-we may be agreeably surprised, and those who come after us much more One hard headed" old business remarked the other day, T don't know where we are headed under the MIRA, but I didn't know where we were headed before. If it provides with constitution gov- erning business conduct under its codes of fair practice, that will be real progress. From a moral and social standpoint it has already done what a half-century of strenuous effort the part of unselfish business men could not do-it has wiped out child labor-and I am for the NRA!"

WASHINGTON DOES NOT TAX
 ALASKA SALMON.

Lately there has been some criticism in certain Alaska newspapers tax said to be imposed oy the State of Washington on king and conoe salmon shipped into or through it from Alaska. It was editoriay asserted that the State Legislature last Spring passed law ito tax imports rom another State or Territory which enter the State of Wash- ington for trans-shpment or local consumption
 In support of this contention the Secretary o1 State was quoted as ruling that fresh or frozen salmon brought into Washington from British Co., lumbia or Alaska will be obliged to pay a tax to the State of Washington even though it was taken from non-contiguous waters and is handled III Seattle only in transit to other countries. This is entirely incorrect, The Empire has been advised by C. c. Garland, Chairman Of the Alaska Committee of the Tacoma Chamber of Commerce. The complaint of the Alaska press came to his attention In keeping with the policy Of the organization he represents of promoting friendly relations between the Evergreen State and Alaska he at once took up the matter with Otto A. Case, State Treasurer. copy of that officials reply, which follows is convincing that such tax is in effect MT Case said:
 Through some error or misunderstood
 ing information was circulated that the
 State would collect tax on salmon shipped
 from Alaska There is nothing in the
 statutes making provision for such collection
 and Isassur you that sits was not the m- -
 tention of this office to, attempt such
 thing.
 The Alaska packers were so notified and
 am of the opinion that they understand
 the situation Your information must have
 been obtained from issue of one Of the
 Alaska papers of sometime ago, as we have
 see nothing regarding this for several weeks
 and inasmuch many cargoes are arriving
 from Alaska and this office making no at
 tempt to collect tax, it is no doubt well
 known to the packers and shippers that no
 tax is to be collected.
 That ought to settle the matter to the satls- faction of every one concerned. Washington State, at least just now, not going to go out of its way to penalize Alaskan packers and shippers, who are it's best customers for the sake of collecting few patry thousands of dollars in taxes.
