SENATOR WALKER SERVES
 KETCHIKAN.

Nh one can accuse Senator N R. Walker of Ketchikan with being disloyal to his home city For almost quarter of century he has made his home there He is widely known as one of it's most consistent and intelligent boosters He has served it as Mayor and in other capacities. He has been engaged there in business for whole generation His family resides there. r
 The Senator does not ccndone the hysterlcal and silly attacks made on the Board of Liquor Control by certain Ketchkan interests In letter to Gov John w Troy which the latter made public with permission of the author, he terms them g'senseless unwarranted and unfair" The campaign he characterzes "tirade of abuse
 The Board of course, has not been unmindful of the fuminatons emanating from Ketchkan. Wisely it has refrained from comment on them or any ether acknowledgement either direct or iidirect. Possibly the membership of the same opinion as Senator Walker that is it had hoped "the present movement would fall of it's own weight" Of course it will do just that in the end When the good people of Kechikan find they have been misled and betrayed into movement that has done nothing but besmirch the deservedly good name, and reputa- ton sincerity and -indedness of their city, they will turn against those who have led them into that false position
 Senator Walker goes deeply into the motives behind the attacks on the Board when he said:
 I believe no other conclusion be
 drawn except IndJ lnert IS d ucHpcldee
 attempt the part of certain people with
 selfish political interests to discredit the
 Administration by raising a false issue in
 an effort to stampede wellmeanng people
 against the policies of the Democratic regime
 He is not alone in this belief. Other Ketchikan leaders have expressed this view and privately have not hestated to mention names. These men are in position to know whereof they speak They have no axes personal political, to grind They merely actuated by their regard for the good name and best interests of their home town They are hurt and grieved more than angered. We agree with them that the whole thing has been deliberately manufactured It is procedure to be regretted. It only react upon those behind the movement and the community itself In exposing it, Senator Walker has never served Ketchikan more oyally with greater courage

 to duty faithful to the standards of an institution that makes well soldiers. His physical courage shown many occasions. The saving of his classmate King from drowning in the Hudson remarkable that it record led in the Adjutant General office "an act of herosm.' Lord Kitchener to West Point during General Scotts superintendency, and they
 were photographed together, standing side by side, two soldierly figures born to command
 There have been politicians in the United States Army, but Hugh L. Scott never of that type.
 He was always outspoken, fearless in his opinions,
 and generous in his estimates of brother officers. Favoritsm was foreign to his nature. When Chief lof Staff he was asked by the Secretary of War whom he would recommend to command army to invade Mexico. General Wood,- he replied lis the ranking Major General and the best have , General Scott was the greatest authority the Indians of the plains not only because he an adept in their sign language but because his rela- tions with them had been intimate and they trusted him There is doubt that he averted war with Mexico more than once by his influence ever ObregOn, Villa and other chiefs, with whom he dealt man to gaining their confidence. The great disappointment of his life came when he was too old to take field command in the World War He was, nevertheless example of what a
 soldier should be when he cheerfully trained troops at Camp Dix. He gave the last years of his life

Fools Paradise"
(New York World-Telegram.) )

tNeW YOrK leIegTdln.)
 Joseph H. Choate, Jr., Director of the Federal Alcohol Control Administration, issues astound- ing warning that the American people buying twice much liquor from illicit distilleries from legal sources. He declared:
 These stills are not all "trifling moon-
 sinners tea-kettle makeshifts," but in many
 cases large plants of the most modern de-
 scription with stills tall enough to extend
 through three four stories of well-equipped
 buildings.
 Two thousand stills were seized in the first three months of this year having total capacity of 67 100000 gallons year third of all the legitimate output.
 Declares MT Choate:
 The drinking habits Of the people have
 increased more than has been imagined even
 by the pessimists The Government is
 losing taxes than it gets and colossal
 criminal industry, necessarily highly organ
 ized still exists, and still exerts it's de-
 bauchng tendencies on every Government
 agency.
 The average citizen has known little of this condition. He has assumed that bootleggng went out with the knee-ength skirt.
 MT Choates proposed remedies conform to pro- posas of this newspaper at the outset and with the experience of other countries which renounced Prohibition.
 Cut taxes and duties to permit legal producers and importers to compete with the bootleggers Relax forms of sales control which turn buyers to bootleggers. Adopt every immediate means of cheapening and improving the legal product" The American people fought to free themselves of Prohibition They Chiselers, void of sport ing spirit, to wreck the benefits of repeal in continued debauchery of the law agencies and debasment of the liquor supply
 Every American should make it his pleasurc to fight this prostitution of great victory
 Cut taxes Cut prices. But make war on repeal chiselers.

WARNING FROM THE HIGHEST
 AUTHORITY.

Halibut fishermen making their living from ths banks in the North Pacific Ocean will do well tc heed and act on the notice just issued by ths International Fisheries Commission regarding tht heavy takes being made and its warning that it vii Ee necessary for earlier closure this year than last if the present rate of landings continue The Commission minced words when it said
 Due to conditions that have developed
 since the opneing of the season, the land-
 ings from Area and Area 3 have
 been at rate that, if continued, will result
 in closure even earlier than in l933 At pres
 ent the rate of landings is about three
 quarters of million pounds greater per
 month from each than in 1883
 More intensified operations by the fleet and the prevalence of shorter trips make it immediately apparent that curtaiment

to care for this situation is necessary if 1t is desired to prevent such early closure.

As in former years, the Commission has fixeo definite limits for the total take from each area When these have been exhausted it need not be expected that oprations will be permitted to con- tinue Its original limit the take represents it's view of what can be taken safely without depletion of the stock It demonstrated last season it would not be swayed from that view It closed Area 2 on August 25, when the total fixed by it was reached And on October 26 it closed down fishing Area 3. Its authority in this matter is unlimited and final There is appeal from its decisions If the halibut fishermen of the North Pacific waters desire to extend the season until the end of next Fall, they will do well to agree upon some equitable method of curtailment as the Com mission has suggested

Arlington May Draw
$4,000 Gas Refund

each gas consumer in Arlington
county.
The case arose several years
ago when the old Arlington Pub
lie Utilities Commission filed q
petition with the State Corpora
ton Commission for a reduction
of gas rates of the Rosslyn Gas
Co., a subsidiary of the Washing
ton Gas Light Co. The petition
died before any action was taken.
When the new County Board
was elected three years ago. it
appointed a new utilities com,
mission, and this group renewed
the petition. The gas company
fought the measure bitterly.
On May 81, 1888, the Corpora
ton Commission issued an order
effective the next day valuing
the Rosslyn company at $50O,000
and ordering an immediate re-
duction in rates from $3.50 per
1000 cubic feet to $1.2O, a re-
duction of 20 per cent. This
meant saving to each consumer
of IS cents per month, or 50
per year,
