Of considerable interest to every community in Southeastern Alaska as well as to the halibut fishegmen is the proposal fostered by Ketchikan dragnet, i" was caught in the and sent to the ederal penitentiary at Atlanta on a conviction or violating Prohibition laws. Of course that ok him out cf Congre: but his wife ran for |the Republican nomination, which is equivalent [to an election, and she won. She won the nom- |ination and election ag in, and yet again. Former Congressman Langley was paroled before the last primary election, but he had not been pardoned, |50 he was still disqualified for a seat in Congress. Iso | President Coolidge made him a Christmas gift lof a full pardon, restoring citizenship to him |He immediately announced that he'would be a |candidate for Congress again. His wife declared that she is ready to retire. She said she had |only heen holding the seat dewn for him during his absence from the District. That Mr. Langley will be renominated and re-elected is admitted |in fact, nearly everybody in his /District is fof I him Which shows that the fact that he was [convicied of violating the Volstead Act and se rved {a term in the penitentiary for it has cost him | nothing of the popularity he had earned through la lifetime spent in the Kentucky hills where he was born, and was honored and respected by Re- | publicans and Democrats alike. | The Ketchikan Chronicle boasts that it pre- [dicted that Judge Harding would be promoted |trom the U. §. Attorneyship to the bench. The | Chronicie seems to have a pemehant for prophe: land seems to think it is successful at its avoca- {tion However, it has missed its guesses often | enough to protect itself from the “I told you so” | 258 | The Federal Government expends annually 50,000 in the purchase of liquor, classed as vidence” in prcsecutions for alleged violations of the Prohibition law. Ye§ it sends men and| |women to jail for buying the same kind of beve e for imbibing. | Press despatches announced recently the com- bination of Gierman manufacturers of the mouth for legislation defining the status of fresh fish| taken by American vessels to Canadian ports, sold there, packed and iced and shipped to the United States. At present, under a ruling .of the| Treasury Department such fish are held to be| American gcods returned and not imports from | a foreign country. Under the former classifica- tion the fish are permitted to re-enter the United States duty free. Were they classed as foreign goods, they would be subject to the same duty as charged on fish caught by Canadian vessels, prepared for ~ulumm in Canada and then shipped into the United States The business interests of Ketchikan for sewe | eral years have sought to get a reclassification | from the M¥ansury Department hut without sue- cess. Those behind the movement present sifie very logical argcments in support of thelr posi tion. It is contended that when halibut is iced and prepared for shipment on. Canadian . soil, the work performed removes the fish from the classification of American products returned when they are again transported into the United States. In support of this stand, they point to numerous E | rulings of the Federal authorities on other com- modities, including canned salmon. Halibut, it is| argued, constitute virtually the sole exception te the established rule. American hogs, for example, it Is pointed out, could not be killed, | taken into Canadian packing houses, there pre- pared for marketing as hams, bacon and other pork products and brought back into the Ameri- can markets as gcods returned and escape duty thereby. And other similar instances are cited. The fishermen, who are vitally interested in| preserving as wide a competitive selling market for their fares as possible, naturally fear that prices will be jeopardized if their access to the Canadian markets is shut off. They point to low that was the prove pricés prevailed before Prince Rupert market available ‘to their uneasinegs | is based upon something more tangible than mere suspicion. The Ketchikan business interests are, however, convinced that such fears are groundless. They hold that the Canadian National Railways must have the fish tonnage for the Prince Rupert line and, if American fish sold at Prince Rupert became subject to a tariff, buyers now located at Prince Rupert would simply moved to Ket-| chikan, Juneau, Petersburg or Wrangell and the marketing would be done in those towns instead| be +of at Prince Rupert' as at present. Prices, they declare, being subject to the same competitive | conditions as flow prevail, would suffer nothing by the change Obviously, if this is a true statement of the result of the Ketchikan proposal being carried out, every community in South- eastern Alaska would be materially- benefitted without injury to the men who follow halibut fishing for a livlihood. Ketchikan has in her favor the circumstance| that a rectification of the Traesury Department ruling by the imposition of a tariff on the fish that is sold at Prince Rupert and prepared there for reshipment back to the United States would | be consistent with our general tariff legislation and regulations. It is inconsistent that there ghould be different regulations for the Prince Rupert halibut business than those which gen- erally obtain every where else for all sorts and cenditions of ]nrudm‘ts. VOLSTEADIAN EX-CONVICT MAY RE- TURN TO CONGRESS. Perhaps there no section cf the country| where the voters give larger relative majorities for Prohibition than in the mountain regions of | the South. It we ¥ of note that most| of these mountainous sections are overwhelm-| ingly Republican. The mountain counties usuull)" keep West Virginia in the Republican Party and when Kentucky and Tennessee go Republican it is there they get the great majorities that carry| the States with them. It was the voting in thjs region last year that swept Virginia and North and South Carolina into the Hoover colymn. Kentucky and Tennessee always have two Re- publican Song::ssmen each representing the mountain sections of those ‘States. But it is only in theory that this réglon is for Prohibition. They want the rest of the country to be dry while, for themselves, they are still strong for the outlaw moonshine and moonshiners, ‘who have been intrenched there! gince the memory of man runneth not to the con- trary. Getting caught in illicit moonshine traf. | fic down there is not, apparently ded as crime that counts against one’s i a case of just too bad. As preof for this assertion we Bave the ex.| perience of former Congressman John W Langley of Kentucky.

A house not necessarily is a |homeé—it never in fullest reality can become a |home until one proudly and truthfully may say,i [*“This is my home.” | One may be content, ‘perhaps happy. in a rented abode, but only a real home can satisfy |the heart stabilize civilization and tr |§mil ennobling inheritance of a vaiue greater (han imay be true of mere material substance. The home building instinct of this people vastly has been assisted, encouraged and satis- fied with the fcrmation and development of build- ing and loan associations. These organizations lin the United States have made it possible for millions of people to secure homes for themselves. All of which is an old story. But the present mightiness of this business is perhaps not so well known, that during the now concluding ear the loan associations made the greatest gain ever acomplished by them in a single year. And that is something which speaks eloquently for the thrift, purpgse and home instinet of ' the peaple, of whom 12,000,000 are members of the building organizations. When the aggregate resources of these com- panies are considered attention becomes astound- ed, for these resources today stand at the prodig- fous figure of $8,150,000,000, with $7.400,000,- 000 invested in mortgages on homes. It is esti- mated that during #the year 1928, through' this agency, 700,000 homes were bought or builded. Founded upon tife heart desires of humanity, so generally well officered and™ conducted .as to be immune from the casualty of wreck or @is- aster, these great organizations have become intensively vital ang reliable factors in the de- velopment of presenlgday high civilization, which, c! through this agency and influence, may hope to experience progressive and inspiring growth for centuries to come. —o China’s; Central Bank. (Detroit Free Press.) A Central Bank of China has been opened at Shanghai for the purpose of stabilizing the money market, standardizing China’s currency and cre- ating a national treasury. This is a large and ambitious order, as anyome familiar with China’s currency, and finances will admit. Although the Chinese have been skillful bankers time out of mind, they have heretofore had no experience with any such vast banking schemes as their Government has now thrust upon. them. This lack of experience does mot necessarily mean. that they will not make a success of their Central Bank, but merely that, if they do not make a success of it; they will have given one more evi- dence of their surprising ability to erect a modern structure on the foundation of ancient and jeal- ously guarded customs. The reforms contemplated by the Central Bank are badly needed to give China a stable Govern- ment, as well as to oil the wheels of domell‘l& industry and external trade. This last constd- eration should obtain for the new institution the cordial cooperation of foreign interests en- gaged in business with the Chinese. Musical Upholstery. (Seattle Post-Intelligencer.) Two King County Deputy Sheriffs have dis- covered a curiosity whieh, properly promoted, would rob the Mexiean jumping bean of all hum- {orous connotation It is the gurzling sofa pillow—-three of them, to be exact. Exhausted from search of a suspected apart- ment, the officers fell upon a davenport inviting ithem to rest. The downy cushions murmured even as a hidden brook, rippling seaward in a leafy glen For this novel effect in upholstery the 'apart- ment occupant must answer for three pints of possession. His hcuse may be his castle, but his musical soft pillows are Exhibits 1, 2 and 3. Thus does law's heavy hand discourage an- other home art.
