ALASKA CIRCULATION GUAWANTEED TO BE LARGER THAN THAT OF ANY OTHER PUBLICATION. STAMPS ON BANK CHECKS. Even during the stress of war when the country was taxing everything that would yield revenue and | the people were urged to give until it hurts, the Government rejected the proposal to tax bank checks and drafts. And it did right. A tax on bank checks inevitably would result in reduction of bank deposits. Money would be taken from checking accounts and find lodgment in safes, tin cans, old stockings. Mr. Mellon’s proposed tax on bank -checks would do a lot more harm than the revenue it would produce would do good. It would have a tendency to slow down business rather than to relieve the depression. It is surprising that Mr. Mellon, himself a banker, would suggest such a thing. It was rejected by Mr. McAdoo and the Wilson Administration. It ought to be, and probably will be, rejected now. APPLES AND ORANGES. Competition between rival fruit-growers of California and Oregon leads to curious attempts at all kinds of publicity. In their eagerness to miss no opportunity for attract- ing attention to themselves and suppressing their competitors, the orange-growers did not overlook the approach of “The Apple | Cart” to the California theatres. The director of the play received a call from a delegation of orange-growers, who requested him to change the name to “The Orangs Box” while it played in their State. He was first bewildered, then amused, and finally insisted that he could not change the name, and didn't see that it advertised the Oregon apple anyhow. The orange-growers refused to accept no for an answer. They found out the author's name and address and cabled him at some length their request. Not until they re- ceived Mr. Shaw's one-word cable—easily guessed—in reply did they give up their ef- forts—(New York Times.) Supposing the facts to be in accor& with the usually authentic New York Times's premise, the delegation of California orange growers performed according to habitual California custom. That State is so wedded to the doctrine of Protection that it has gone to great lengths to build on her boundaries prohibitive walls against the products of other States. Oranges, grapefruit, strawberries and other products from other States and Hawali that might come into competition with California products are rigidly excluded. California would, no doubt, boycott apples from other States and force her residents and visitors to substitute some other fruit grown in California for apples. But the point we started out to make against the Times is the inference that Oregon is the Apple State, and the facts do not warrant that assumption. While Oregon produces apples in large quantities, Washington leads all the States of the Union in the production of that fruit by a wide margin. “The Apple Cart,” if an advertisement at all for apples would represent Washington more nearly than Oregon. AMERICA WILL RECOVER FIRST. Berlin correspondence in the New York Times | says the German belief is that the United States will be the first country to emerge from the de-| pression because of the vast volume of domestic | trade that she has. The German viewpoint is given in the following Berlin wireless dispatch to the Times: Trade revival will begin in America be- fore it begins in Europe; that is the year- end view of this market, and probably of other European markets. So long as tariffs and restrictions on exchange transfer hamp- er international exchange of goods, it is believed that countries with extensive do- mestic markets are bound to have the ad- vantage over the rest of the world, and that factor must favor America. Further, it is considered that the events of this past Autumn, when credits and gold were withdrawn from New York in unpre- cedented sums, without even causing un- easiness among the American financial to collect the old debts and develop foreign markets, cut the tariff and permit European countries to settle a large part of their trade balances with products, if they show a willingness to settle at all. Juneau Elks did their part in the bowling con- second teams of Ketchikan and Anchorage handily. | But, oh, those Anchorage women! How they bowled! Adding the totals of all the teams men and women from each of the towns the record of the tourna- ment was: Anchorage, 97,322; Ketchikan, 96941; Hoover has not his loyal support is “damn non- |sense” and an insult to him. Gen. Dawes never leaves any room for speculation about what he means. tax plan and try to think the war ended when |the National Army was demobilized. Why a New Department? (Nation’s Business.) The report of the Persident’s National Advisory Committee on Education ought to get a cordial iresponse from business for one point which it stresses: That school management should not be centralized in Washington but should be left to the States and to smaller political units. Here's a pertinent sentence from the report: The political domination of education by a remote central government, managed by administrative officers far removed from local conditions and sympathies, has always led to the evils of bureaucratic unresponsive- ness to local and to changing needs, to bureaucratic standardization, red tape and delay, and to official insensitiveness to the criticism of far-distant parents and citizens. But with that admirable sentiment in mind why did the committee go on to recommend that “a Department of Education with a Secretary of Education at its head be established in the Fed- eral Government?” The committee proposes that the United States Office of Education mow in the Interior Depart- ment be the nucleus of the new department of edu- |cation and that other existing Federal activities dealing with eduaction be transferred to the new department. No doubt supporters of the new department will argue that they are proposing no considerable added expense, but merely rearranging existing units, but the fact is that a new department is bound to justify its existence by more bureaus, more divisions, more employees—and more money. Japan’s Conquest. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) As has been maintained in these columns since the beginning of Japan's invasion of Manchuria, the frank object of that invasion was permanent conquest. Chinchow, the last Chinese controlled city in the rich and desirable terrain of Manchuria, Inow has fallen before irresistible Japanese assulty the remnant of Chinese forces being driven beyond the Great Wall. Japan is dominant and regnant in the con- quered territory. The League of Nations and the world have demonstrated that they are impotent to affect, change or stay the procedure. Japan is the militana Power in the Far East, and her fondest dreams of Asian empire are not improbable. Pretexts for further Chinese aggres- sion will not be waiting when it shall suit Japan’s purpose to present and act upon them. And who |is to say her nay? With a free hand in Manchuria what is to prevent Japan’s further aggression in the direction of Tientsin and other Chinese cities and provinces where she possesses wide interests? And she has before her the example of France in the Far East in this respect. The days of conquest, of wars, are not ended. They will never end so long as national selfish- ness, aspiration and apparent opportune necessity continue to endure. Gang Murders Exaggerated. (New York Times.) If Capone had not marched off to jail, not all the statistics of all the sociologists in the world would have prevailed against the legend of gang murder rampant in Chicago. As it is, there is a chance that the world will give a hearing to the figures on homicide in American cities submitted by a member of the Birmingham Southern College faculty to the American Association for the Ad- vancement of Science, at New Orleans. By the number of killings in proportion to vopu- lation Chicago is fortieth among 174 cities, and New York is seventy-eighth. The first dozen places are held by cities in the South, beginning with Memphis, where the murder rate of 59 per 100,000 inhabitants is more than eight times the New York rate, more than four times the Chicago rate. Out of tae first thirty cities the South has twenty-three. In the North the unenviable leadership is held by Gary, Ind., and Hamtramck, Mich, with homicide rates more than four times that of New York. The South's evil pre-eminence is explained by the large Negro population. Yet when the Negroes come North they are not notably more addictad to homicide than their white neighbors. How wrong is the popular impression of gang murders in laige cities is shown by the fact that even in the South the large cities have a lower homicide rate than the smaller places. Well, 1931, there is this much to be said for you. Some day we oldsters will be slapping ourselves on the chest and boasting how you had us rocky for a minute, but never really under the weathe:.— authorities, proved to the world the basic soundness of America’s banking and currency position. That ought to mean that the United States will escape the internal con- vulsions which European countries which have fallen into the confusion of the paper- currency standard are expected to suffer. That is probably correct but the chances are that it will not be an inducement for this country again to finance Europe and restore prosperity over there The apparent desire of Europe to repudiate debts to America will not encourage this country to accept new promises regarding new financing.
