There seems to be no reason of any kind for imposing tolls on motor vehicles engaged in hauling | freight and passengers for hire to local points on Richardson Highway. The desire of the Department of Interior to impose handicaps in the way of license fees or other tolls on cars operating between Valdez and Fairbanks is based upon its conviction that such a step is necessary to put the Alaska Railroad upon an even basis with the motor vehicles. That, however, cannot apply to traffic between Fairbanks and neighboring communities on the highway, and between Valdez and towns north that are not and cannot be served by the Alaska Railroad Delegate Dimond has advised the Alaska Terri- tortal Chamber of Commerce that it is his under- standing that the tolls will be charged whether cars operating for hire move one mile or cover the entire road. That is wholly indefensible. Pas- senger automobiles and trucks engaged in commercial | enterprises over the highway but not competing with the railroad really act as feeders to it. With- out them, the railroad cannot hope to build up its passenger and freight business in the outlying dis- tricts. If the Interior Department imposes tolls on them it will be injuring its friends and penal- izing itself. LIPPMANN ANALYZES CHANGE. Walter Lippman, former Editor of the New York World and now a writer of syndicated articles on many public questions, recently reviewed suc-| cinctly the Roosevelt Administration’s program for combatting the existing emergency and expressed confidence that it would be successful. Mr. Lipp- mann is one of the foremost liberals of the country and has, on occasion, being termed the mouthpiece of liberalism. There is, however, no tinge of “pink” in his make-up. He is a sound thinker and a forceful writer. Speaking before the Associated Harvard Clubs recently, he summed up the accomplish- ments of the new Administration, since March 4, as follows: If you look at the events of these past 90 days as a whole what then do we find? We find a determination to substitute fore- sight and deliberate management for the play of blind, unregulated and incoherent actions. The first step was to revive the national authority, to make effective the leadership of the President, to institute a party discipline, to subdue the influence of separate, local and special interests. The second step was to assert the mnational authority over a monetary system which has ceased to be international and had, under the impact of obscure forces, of manipula- tion, of speculative raids and of panic, be- come a danger to all established values. The third step was to provide a method of self-government for producers, by which, with the assistance of the law, they can bring competition under collective control. If these policies are wisely administered, if the country understands them and helps to make them work well, there is every reason to think that they will promote the reestablishment of order in the international world. inally, we can do no greater service to mankind than to prove that a free people can, without violence, in an orderly, cool manner, subdue the forces of disintegra- tion and become the master of its fate. We have heard quite enough of late about the glorious achievements of tyrannical govern- ments, and how freedom is an illusion and democracy a failure. The last word has not vet been said on the subject. We proved during the war that the free peoples, in spite of their disorganization, the ineffi- ciency of their pelitical methods and their lack of discipline, were in the end stronger than the military empires. We shall prove again, I believe, the* in ‘overcoming the misery and the disordrs of the world crisis the free peoples will pe stronger than the dictatorships. It is a high adventure, and God willing, if we keep our heads on our shoulders, our courage undaunted and our spirit seréne, we shall not fail. SECOND BLOW TO TAMMANY OPPONENTS. Twice now in two weeks Tammany Hall has seen its enemies in New York City dealt stunning blows by the positive declaration of two men upon whom the anti-Tammany forces had been depending for a candidate for Mayor in the next municipal election. First, Joseph V. McKee announced his resignation as President of the Board of Aldermen and his withdawal from municipal politics. Second, ex-Gov. Alfred’ E. Smith, who, despite previous ~ assertions he would not make the race, was in some quarters expected to yield to unquestionably heavy Curry forces are well on the way to another of |their usual victories Although the Anti-Tammany forces in New York {haven't yet found anyone considered of likely tim- ber to oppose the Tiger in Gotham’s next mayoralty | election, no one has yet suggested that Jimmy Walker return and head the “reform” ticket.

His election would have insured New York City a great executive, one of tried and proven worth, who would have given to {the great metropolis a sound administration.

X It is one of time's historic revenges that Presi- dent Roosevelt should move to relax the anti- trust laws where an earlier President Roosevelt had invoked them in a punitive spirit. One was a President christened Theodore (the “trust-buster”); the other's first name is Franklin. Conditions change as well as times. This later regime, signalized by bold steps and big figures for an emergency time, does not, of course, propose to jettison the anti-trust laws which have been praised or damned for nearly a half- century. But the old bans would be sensibly relaxed by the newer Roosevelt through a limitation of the law which would permit “agreements and codes insuring fair competition” which the old statutes and their interpretation would never have sanc- tioned. That sort of “new deal” is made forcibly clear by the latest message and by its accompanying measure, eight times redrafted. The old disapproval of monopoly and unfair practices is retained as an assurance, and there also must be some compensation in a new degree of control by or partnership with Government in industry. The abuses of unfair competition by| “selfish competitors"—the sweatshop or the business sniper types—must be guarded aaginst by a “license power.” Industry as a whole seems cheerfully will- ing to pay the price of a degree of governmental The the action of interests representing over a third of | its spindles | SYNOPSIS: Sue Tally confides to Jim Sundean that she has in her possession a token which will en- title her to share her father’s huge fortune. and that she believes the man murdered in the hotel corridor near Syndean's door had some con- nection with her claim.

(New York Times.) Czars will be very much with us some time to come. ' There wiil be czars of industry, and czars of water power, and czars of farm-allotment and wheat | prices, and czars perhaps of dollar-gold contents | and of railroad rates. Under the circumstances it | may be of interest to recall a familiar legend from the original land of Czars. It tells how there came to be Czars there. It is the story of how the people of Novgorod, in Northern Russia, distracted by perpetual ieuds among their native princes, sent an invitation to| Rurik, Prince of the Varangians somewhere in Scan- dinavia, to come and rule over them in accordance with the laws of the country and so establish peace. The legendary Rurik of the ninth century is the beginning of Czardom. Czars from the outside get their chance when a people’s own leaders go in for too much compe- tition and too little cooperation. When self-regula- tion breaks down the autocrat appears. American business men have been prepared, after all, for the heavy downpour of Romanoffs now de- scending on them from Washington. For a good many years they have been in the habit of re- sorting to czars whenever the affairs of any par- ticular industry or commercial interest got into a snarl. It is the custom now to refer back to the precedent of the War Industries Board. But there have been non-governmental czars in private busi- ness for a dozen years. It was in 1920 that Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis became Czar of Baseball. Two years later Will Hays left Mr. Harding’s Cabinet to become Gzar of the Movies. From time to time and on less than nation-wide scal¢ thé czars have been calfed in to operate on sick industries. As “impartial chairmen” they have played a beneficent ‘part in the garment industry. The record suggests that an American czar may not be so terrible as he sounds. The new brew permits 4 per cent alcoholic content by volume, but the compalint of a lot of our liquidly inclined literati is that one has to drink a whole library to get any intelligible re- action.—(Philadelphia Inguirer.) After the burning of thousands of books that come under the Nazi ban, the new German State is still referred to as modern Germany.—(Louisville Courier-Journal.) o At the end of April, according to the Treasury, there was only $334,823,033 in gold in circulation in the United States.

Her hand approached mine, and I took it and the other in mine, as | had there in the corridor only an hour or so before. 1 said clumsily: “You must let me help you.” The words were trite, but she understood what I'd meant and not managed to say. HE sald, “Thank you,” and looked at me, and the something leaped trom our eyes and communicated and merged while I stood there look- ing down at her. It lasted only a few seconds, but it seemed a long time before 1 dropped her hands and turned abruptly to the mantel and stood leaning against it. “And now,” said Sue, slipping the letter under the laces again—I thought it too lovely and sweet & place for such a thing, and she must have read something in my eyes, for she flushed a little and buttoned her lack coat tightly again. “And now you understand.
