ALASKA CIRCULATION GUARANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. BANKERS URGE TARIFF REVISION. The International Bankers committee which has been considering the restoration of prosperity at its conference at Basel, Switzerland, assailed exist- ing tariff laws as “obstructions to commerce which must bz revised before there can be economic im- provement.” It will not dispose of this declaration to say that there were European bankers at the conference. ‘The chairman of the committes is Albert Henry Wiggin, Chairman of the Board and former President of the Chase National Bank of New York and among the foremost of American business men. In addition to his connection with the Chase National Bank he is a director in thirty- five other leading financial, maufacturing, industrial, transportation and other corporations. He has been Secretary, President and Chairman of the Executive Committze of the New York Clearing House, serving that organization for nearly twenty years. He is al Republican. | Under the circumstances it cannot be said v.hal‘ American interests were ot well represented on the committee or that the committee had partisan politics in mind. The first thing that the next Congress ought to do is to take up for a radical downward revision the Hawley-Smoot tariff law. Until we reduce that we cannot in good faith ask other countries to modify their tariff laws. WIDOW SUCCESSION CUSTOM WORRY- ING THE LA FOLLETTES. Henry Allen Cooper, Republican, served in Con- gress from Wisconsin from 1893 until 1931, except for one term after his defeat in 1918, due to his refusal to co-operate with the La Follettes. Last year he was elected for another term, but death intervened and his successor must be chosen at a special election. The La Follettes had been count- ing upon filling the vacancy with a political friend, but the situation has now been complicated by the circumstance that the veteran legislator's widow has announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination. Whether to attempt to defeat her nomination or acquiesce is an important matter with the La Follette brothers and Senator Blaine. The people in so many Congressional Districts in 80 many varts of the country have approved the election of a widow to fill out her husband’s unexpired term that, it is said, the La Follettes are wondering. Mrs. Cooper declares that she will run without platform other than that she will carry on as her husband had done for nearly two score years. REPUBLICAN POLITICAL WRITER SEES NOTHING BUT ROOSEVELT. Mark Sullivan, political writer for the New York Herald Tribune, says Gov. Roosevelt has such a lead for the Democratic Presidential nomination that there has been no duplicate for it in fifty years except in those cases where a President was a can- didate for a second nomination like Roosevelt in 1904, Wilson in 1916 and Coolidge in 1924 He continued: No other aspirant, however, no aspirant not already in office, ever has been so nearly acepted as the probable nominee a year in advance of the nomination and fifteen months In advance of the election as is the case with Governor Franklin Roose- velt now. He says the forward position of Gov. Roosevelt, is the natural sequence of his election to the Governorship of the largest State in 1928 and his re-election by the greatest majority New York ever gave a candidate. It would, under the circumstances, be absurd not to admit that he has been a very gble and popular Chief Executive of his common- wealth. He says the record points toward the nomination of Mr. Roose- velt as logical. So logical, indeed, that to deny the nomination to him would be an event calling for explanation, would' imply something queer, either some undisclosed weakness in the Governor or some bias on the part of the party leadership. That Gov. Roosevelt should be nominated by the Democrats is, in short, so logical as to have been almost inevitable from the beginning. WHEN ALASKA PROFITS FROM HAWAII'S EXPERIENCE. Before Alaska may reap the fullest benefit of being a tourist country someway must be devised to induce tourists to “stop over,” see the country and get acquainted with its people. In this respect the Territory of Hawail has a long lead over this Territory. It is a saying at Honolulu that more travelers “miss the boat” there than in any other port in the world. Steamer booking records at Honolulu show that a very large of Hawali's visitors apply for time exte: on their tickets. ‘Travelers find the steamship companies anxious $o please in this at Second and Main tered In the Post Office In Juneau as Second Class six months, in advance, | |respect, and those who cancel their " reservations | usually get accommodations on a later sailing equally as good as those which they surrender. then the tourist crop will be one industries here as it is and profitable |of visitors, |of the most | there | 1 to leave the taxicab dispute to the editors of the three Seattle news- papers arouses no special enthusiasm.

Black, the Speaker of the House of Commons, should have been chosen as a representative on the com- mittee which is discussing the preliminaries of a British Columbia-Yukon-Alaska Highway. It is a compliment to the Yukon, which Mr. Black has represented in the House or Commons for so many |years. It is a compliment, as well, that one oc- | cupying the position he does in Parliament should | have been asked to devote so much time when not actively engaged in parliamentary duties, to ren- dering aid towards what it is believed will even- tually develop into a service of very high import- ance for this part of the Dominion. Mr. Black, in the office of Speaker, has won the confidence of members of the House of Commons of all shades of political opinion. He combines those qualities and characteristics which make for high judicial acumen so essential to a successful Speaker- ship. He has stamped his method of presiding over the deliberations of the House as one that is marked by outstanding fairness. In a long line of successful Speakers he has proved his title to being endowed with that judgment, courage and impartiality with which the office is historically associated. Mr. Black's ability to speak in behalf of the Yukon in the matter of the North and South mads which Dr, Tolmie has put in the forefront of his | policies cannot be questioned. He has the confidence of the people of the Northland, knows its trans- portation needs, and is persuaded that such a high- way as is proposed will mean increased prosperity. The presence here of Mr. Black and the other representatives of the committee discussing the Brit- ish Columbia-Yukon-Alaska Highway is an earnest of another step forward towards the consummation of this project. ‘The Little White Yawl.” |are, first, to build up a broader,tended us over the SALES CONCERN = Arter Loop Record ORGANIZED FOR | - SALMON TRADE| Leaders of Washington State Packers Unite on | Selling Campaign | SEATTLE, Wash., Aug. 24.—Sseks ling a way out of depression and disastrously low prices, Washing- ton salmon packers have agrezd upon a common sales organization to handle their produc's, it was made known here today.

It was done in the name of sport, but the world | is not full of groups of seven men who would have | undertaken to sail the yawl Dorade from Newport, | R. I, to Plymouth, England. Plenty of athletes will) undergo the strain of running, the pounding of !/ football and boxing, and the perils of polo. But, to get aboard a sailboat 52 feet 2 inches over all, and cruise across the North Atlantic, involves a rare type of intrepidity and skill. Dorade made the crossing without mishap in a little more than seventeen days, and the prospects are excellent that she will have the double prize of reaching her | destination first and overcoming Amberjack II's' handicap of about thirty hours and a half. To Roderick Stephens and his son, Olin, of Scarsdale, falls the honor of being included wnh: the best skippers since the Phoenicians first plied their ships to the Pillars of Hercules and looked out | affrightedly “at the dark blue beyond.” The cheers | which greeted them in Plymouth Harbor from the royal yacht Britannia, from Sir Thomas Lipton's | Shamrock V and from other regatta craft at an- chor there were deserved tributes from one sea- faring brood to another. There was an extre heartiness to the cheer be- cause all seven, even the ship's cook, were ama-| teurs. Old salts in snug harbors, wagging their| chin-whiskers over their double tots, will agree| that such amateurs are worthy to be ranked with| the nimblest lads from New England or Devon who ever raced into the rigging when a nor'easter began to blow. Modern Government. (Cordova Times.) Recently, within the past three months, there were in Cordova two Prohibition agents, who devoied about twenty-eight days to enforcement work around and in Cordova. Their operations netted one raid and the confiscation of a half-dozen bottles of beer and a case, which, if it had gone to court would have been lost by the Government on technicali- ties, if nothing else. It happened however, that| a plea of guilty was entered and a fine of one| hundred dollars paid. The cost to the Government for this singular victory was approximately fourteen hundred dol- lars in excess of the established cost of enforce- ment offices permanently stationed in Cordova. Fourteen hundred dollars for six bottles of beer, but not one cent for a landing field to open up a new country for prospectors, miners, mer- chants, and the building up of a greater Alaska. Old-timers habitually look back upon the halycon days of their youth and those who fail to make the goal set for themselves are wont to lay the blame on lack of opportunity. “There’s no chance for a man in these days” is a statement as false as it is old; not until men and women improve the chances which lie within their reach should they complain about a shortage.—(Seattle Times.) “The uses of good excuses are many,” says a| writer.
