1’resident Wilson’s recent rec
ommenuation that a non-partsan
commission be created for the
purpose of revising the taritf
system is not only a step in the
rignt direction but may also be
considered a frank admission by
the president that he has chang
ed his mind concerning some of
the pet theoriv of democracy.
In the letter to Chairman Kitch
in of the house ways and means
committee, in which the presi
dent first voiced the opinion that
a reorganization of the tariff was
necessary, the executive openly
acknowledges a clearly defined
perception that our former meth
ods of tariff making no longer
meet the changed conditions de
veloping out of the present in
ternational situation.
It is plainly borne in on the
presidential mind that the tariff
requirements have been raised
above the mere question of
whether a high or lowr tariff
is best conducive to the econo
mic needs of the country.
The executive is a keen analyst
and, furthermore, is one who
yields no allegiance to party doc
trine or tradition.
Time and again he has given
clearly defined demonstrations of
a belief that the principles of
party are not the foot rule by
which to measure the needs of
the nation and has also displayed
a decided tendency to disregard
such political theories as seemed
to him to possess no mentions
value as applied to conditions
coming under his observation.
Probably no more forcible exam
ple of th*s tendency has been
offered than is presented in his
recommendation that the tariff
question should be placed with
out the field of party politics by
entrusting the solution of the
many vexing questions involved
to a non partisan commission
whose whole duty will be to es
tablish a well balanced and scien*
tific plan which will broadly con
sider the important and compli
cated tariff question from every
possible angle.
The president recognizes that
cut and dried tariff rules are in
adequate to meet the require
ments of present day conditions
and intends to secure if possible
a change along lines that will
obviate any possibility of party
tinkering. Such a change will
for/ce|r abolish the log rolling
system that has been the distin
guishing feature of party tariff
handling since the day that the
fir^t tariff enactment wa$ ap
proved by congress.

CHAMBER Of COMMERCE PUNS TO
♦
The following report of the
, oard of di.ec.ors of the .' erne
‘ ewar 1 Penius- !a Chamber of
Commerce ;> ovn'es an in.crest
ing insight into the aim* and
purposes of that organization
also the more prominent fea
tures of the program upon which
the various committees are now
working. As will be noted, the
chamber is inaugurating a move
ment for increasing the scope of
its influence which contemplates
reaching beyond the borders of
Nome to the degree that the or
ganization will De truly repre
sentative of the whole of Seward
peninsula. Representatives of
every line of inuustry will be in
vited to enroll as members and
an effort will also be made to
isecure* the co-operation of the
citizens of all other communi
ties in this section of Alaska. '1 he
report was submitted and ap
proved at the meeting last night.
The present movement for a
greater Nome'Seward Reninsula
^naniuer ot commerce is an ex
pression of the desirV of many
ousiness and protessional men of
Nome tor an organization com
mensurate with the importance
of the c.ty and its needs as the
commercial and industrial center
of the north, and the peninsula
as contributor to the nation’s
wealth.
Such an organization must be
aggressive in character, repre
sentative in membership, and
efficient in finances and manage
ment.
To that end it is proposed to
broaden the scope, enlarge its
activities and increase its mem
bership and income.
Its governing principle will be
that there is nothing too small
for it to do and nothing too
great for it to undertake if for
tile best interests of Seward pen
insula.
Its members will be the dom
inating force, and in order that
the membership may be truly
representative of this peninsula
as whole a special effort will be
made to have every line of trade
and industry every profession
'and every interest^ represented
in its membership and including
every section of the peninsula
Special provision will be made
for the maintenance of real co~
operation among the members
individually.
The administrative function
will be vested in a board of di
rectors composed of the officers
and five elective members elected
annually, its executive authority
will be extended through the
channels of an executive com
mittee and the heads of the de
partments to all branches of ac
tivity.
The entire plan contemplates
a business like institution con
ducted on the principle that
what is worth doing is worth do
ing well but it is also recognized
that the management heads of
the different departments must
have the active support, the
weight of influence and the per
sonal co-operation of all mem
bers.
Finally it is proposed that the
Chamoer of Commerce shall be
equipped to deal with every
phase of community activity,
ana to actively promote the com
mercial ana social interest ot all
of the peopie of the peninsula.
'1 he worK that the chamber of
commerce is enaeavoring to ac
complish: To secure laiger ap
propriation for the Alaska road
commission; to secure larger
proportionment of the funds tor
this divsion; to secure the estab
lishment of Nome Kougarok
Candle trunk road; to secure the
completion of the Nome Solo
mon Council road; to secure the
completion of several short nec
essary roads now contemplated;
to prevent the raising of freight
rates Seattle to Nome; to secure
the shipping of coal to Nome for
less than merchandise rates; to
secure the shipping of our re
sources southbound at low rate;
to work with city authorities to
ward establishing municipal
utilities; to secure the changing
of the adverse report for the
building of piers confining Snake
river channel sufficient for light
ers and launches;to secure the
abolition of the present system
of treatment of our insane; to
secure the complete revision and
reorganiation of the Alaska mail
winver service and summer mail
on every boat; to secure forward
ing coastwise mail on every
available boat ;to assist and foster
undeveloped new industries; to
encourage the tourist trade to
ward seeing Alaska first.
