It is the| purpose, also, as soon as the Illinois river improve- nt is completed to operate the barges to Chi-| cago. The operating concern declares that freight | will be carried up and down stream and between | intermediate points as well as terminals. The company’s initial fleet consists of six tow-| ans proposition declare that | boats capable of pushing twenty or twenty-five 300- | that | up-stream and many more than down stream. To begin with four of these will be | used between Cincinnati and New Orleans. Th('s(u craft cost $410,000 each and developed 2,000 hor: power. They 200 feet in length. Smaller tow- boats and barges will be used on tributaries of the | Ohio and Mi ppi as feeders. | Through an order issued by the Interstate Com- | merce Commission July 11, railroads were directed to establish through rail-barge and rail-barge-rail rates on various commodities between points in central territory, on one hand, and points in south- | ern and southwestern territory on the other, in| connection with the Mississippi Valley Barge Line Company. A willingness to cooperate with the new company has been evidenced by the railroads from the beginning. | The launching of the new barge line marks the ! introduction of private capital in the development of an extensive inland waterways transportation sys- | tem, a step toward which the Government has been working since it first made available a compre- hensive freight on the Mississippi River | more than ten years ton barges a service ago. MISSOURI WETTER THAN NYBODY. REED OF Former Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, whose friends still think he would make excellent Presi- dential timber, is sponsoring about the wettest program that has yet been proposed. It is believed that | the program will be brought into play as a plat- form from which to wage a contest for delegates to the 1932 Democratic National Convention. A United Press dispatch from Washington, out just after the great Missourian had returned from Europe, said sent | Former Senator James A. Reed of Mis- souri stood sponsor for one of the strong- est anti-Prohibition platforms thus far pro- posed. His program calls for: 1. Immediate repeal of the Volstead Act. 2. Repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment as soon as possible. 3. State control of liquor without Fed- e assistance but with each ate having authority to seize liquor imported for dis- tribution within its boundaries in interstate commerce. This declaration by several days ago from ahead of other possible dential nominees on the program. “The immediately,” his program in blood by Legislature. ¢ is obvious now that the people of the United States have given this ‘noble experi- ment' a thorough trial and that it has been the most ghastly failure of the cen- tury “I unhesitatingly say the time has come when Prohibition is bound to be the issue and every person running for office should state his views “The present certified to the tion by saying out the active stabularies. “That means it cannot be enforced un- less the people of a State want it enforced and that we will have Prohibition limited to certain districts.” Reed, who returned Europe, places him Democratic Presi- Prohibition repeal Volstead Act be repealed Reed declared in announcing ‘It should have been written Draco and not by a modern of Prohibition has failure of Prohibi- enforced with- of State con- Director absolute it cannot be cooperation MERITED PRAISE FOR UNION LABOR.

As an aftermath of the recent Senatorial inves- tigation of the Alaska Railroad we are of the opin- ion that the committee hopes to offer, in its re- port, something constructive in reference to main- taining and building up the Government's biggest enterprise in this Territory, regardless of what {many of our residents thought was in the minds some members of the committee before they {learned the actual conditions in this Northland. Of the great benefit the railroad has been to every xv((mn of Alaska, some ctions more remotely affected than others, is acknowledged by all. The !fact remains that the money invested, and the maintenance, | have been fai ching in the industrial development | of the entire Territory. | Had not the railroad been built there is no question but what the $14,000,000 invested in the| interior by the Fairbanks Exploration Company would have found its way into other channels; | neither would the present quartz development in} that section have been continued, as well as many, | |many other enterprises that bid fair to furnish ad- | |ditional tonnage for the road.

There may have been considerable waste and extravagance in the expending of Government funds during the con- struction of the road, and during the early stages of its operation, but all fair-minded people will have to admit that it has been gradually getting down to a business basis and is now in better shape !than it has ever been. Too much credit cannot bei given Col. Otto F. Ohlson General Manager, for nu» decided improvement that now exists in the conduct of the road and the service rendered the public.

J. Underwood Coast Cities Need Free-Port System. (Seattle Business Chronicle.) Here is something for which the citizens of ‘the Pacific Coast manifestly may work with zeal—the establishment of foreign free ports. The principle of the system is akin to that of milling-in-trans which extends valued advantages to flour millers. Foreign raw materials are admitted duty-free into| restricted areas comprising the foerign free ports and there manufactured into finished products. |Federal jurisdiction is established so there may be no abuse of the special privileges. Delegates at the recent convention of the North-| west Rivers and Harbors Congress at Longview | heard this proposal advocated. It won their hearty‘ support. In fact, they became convinced that es- tablishment of such free ports on the Pacific Coast would do more to expand maritime commerce and give needed industrialization than any other proposal yet conceived. A resolution urging the National Administration to, plan the establishment of this system was enthusiastically adopted. The proposal appears to be one of such far-reach- ing importance that Chambers of Commerce and civic bodies of the Pacific Coast should lose no time in analyzing and putting whole-hearted sup- port back of it. The Lighthouse Service. (Seward Gateway.) Little is known by the public in general of the | important part the Lighthouse Service plays in the development of the Territory. | Alaska with its thousands of miles of coast line, many times greater than the entire coast of the | United States, its rugged and forbidding coast, its many islands and rocks, its bays and inlets, could never have been developed had it not been charted by the Coast and Geodetic Survey and marked and | lighted by the Bureau of Lighthouses. Even then| navigation of Alaska waters would not have been safe as it is today, had it not been for the constant work of lighthouse tenders, such as the Cedar, and particularly the personel of the service. Not only do the tenders render signal service in keeping the various markers, buoys and lights in place and going, but many is the time when! the tenders have given prompt and efficient assist- | ance to vessels in distress. | The Federal Prohibition officials confess that they have been loaded with an impossible job.
