IMPORTANT CHANGES MADE
ALASKA MOTOR VEHICLE LAW

Copies of the Alaska Motor We
hicle law, as amended by the last
Territorial legislature, were receiv-
ed by the U. S. Commissioner Of
flee recently. Two important
changes have been made. First,
the inclusion of tractors in the
list of motor vehicles for which Ii
censes must be secured before oper-
alton. The license fee is SO for a
full year, commencing January 1,
and SIS for the half-yearly period
between September 1 and the end
of the calendar year.
The law also provides that licens-
ed visiting cars from the United
States and Canada and used only for
pleasure shall be exempt from Ter
ritorial license for 80 days after en-
try but the owner or operator must
within As hours after arrival apply
for notice for posting in the car
showing the date of the cars entry
and the date on which the 90-day
exemption period expires. The act
also provides that the license tax
shall be a first lien on motor We
hicles pending payment of the re-
quired license, thus permitting the
seizure and sale of the car to salts
fly any judgment, fine or costs i'm
posed for failure to observe the law.

THE DIFFERENCE

In commenting ON President
Roosevelt's bold and effective mes
sage to the rulers of the world in
an effort to maintain the peace and
further disarmament, the Chicago
Tribune credits the president with
a bold and skillful policy which
eased the tension of the world. In
continuing to emphasize the dill
ference between European and
American policy, however, the Tri-
bune says:
This is a victory worth win
ming. But the presidents message
to the rulers has brought out again
in sharp relief the difficulties in
herent in the difference in inter
ests and viewpoint of the European
governments and those of the
American nation. The heart of the
presidents proposals to Europe as
understood there is the promise OF
American force. No European power
thinks the American proposal means
anything unless it means that the
United States will use its economic
and its military forces to maintain
any arrangements which will arise
out of a settlement intended for
the peace of the world.
The prospect is no more salts
factory now than it was when
President Wilson first had vision
OF a world under his presidency.
The country sought an escape from
that as soon as it comprehended
the Wilsonian plan and succeeded
In breaking away, The mistake was
to believe that the success, although
complete, was final. There never
has been a time since, when the
American government, whether Re-
publican or Democratic, was not
nibbling at the bait in this Euro
pean trap. Thus a sense of futility
has come to be attached to the re-
peated decision of the American
people that their country shall not
enter Europe as an obligated partic
ipant In events which they know
they could not control even if they
had the desire to do so. So far as
any political decision goes, it has
never been revealed that the people
have departed in the slightest from
their own belief, inculcated by the
most distinguished statesmen of the
early republic. that Europe has
problems with which America never
will be familiar and from which it
therefore should have the greatest
possible separation.
1.-THE inconsistency of American
government proposals with Ameri-
can popular thought and intention
has been marked throughout the
negotiations subsequent to Mr.. Will
sons failure with the League of
Nations.
This inconsistency is explain
able only in terms of human ego
tism. The secretaries of state sup
ported by American presidents, have
found a satisfaction in projecting
themselves into European affairs
Out of such inspiration came the
Kellogg treaty, and although that
sentimentality has been discarded by
every nation wishing to do so, at
any time, it has taken the United
States farther and farther afield in
international adventures.
Theoretically it would seem at

An Independent Newspaper
Clever Foolishness

Arthur Brisbane points out in a recent article that only the United States has government bonds which require payment in gold. No other country has them. This, he says, ''is a special American foolishness.' ,
 Foolishness no doubt as far as the country is concerned but far from foolish on the part of those clever interests" who alone accumulate most of those solidly secured gold bonds about as fast as they appear. The commonalty seldom if ever get a chance to see, let alone own one. Their purch- ase under ordinary conditions is almost entirely a prerogative of the wealthy.
 We doubt not that it was some of this best minded class who first induced the adoption of these nice, safe, gold-se- cured bonds and have since taken excellent care that they were perpetuated for their own private benefit.
 They also worked the same smooth racket in connection with some of the more import ant industrial bond issues and preferred stocks which they alone could afford to buy. And when you went to the bank to borrow on your note you usually found that the same best-minded interests had written across the face of the note that it was payable in gold of equal weight and fine ness," although the bank prob ably gave you common paper currency for your loan.
 All part of a clever conceived and managed plan to enable them to accumulate all they could of the worlds most prec- ious and most desired commod- ity.
 Nothing at all foolish about that part of it!
