SEWARD, ALASKA, TUESDAY, JANUARY 23, 1917
WORLD PEACE AN ISSUE
While unusual it was quite proper for the president
to discuss his proposed alliance with foreign powers to
enforce peace throughout the world.
So radical a move is not to be accomplished behind
closed doors. Full and free discussion of the question
must be had both by the law makers and the people.
The attitude of the warring powers on this question
will be of importance for the lighting has continued so
long now that a martial spirit has been developed and
there is a question as to what the armies ot Europe will do
after this war is over.
WHY NOT REGULATE EVERYTHING?
S _
Opposition of the Board of Governors oi the C inein
nati Advertisers’ Club to the Randall advertising bill
pending in Congress is timely and sensible. This measure,
if enacted into law, is to withhold from the mails any pub
lication or printed matter advertising intoxicating liquors
for sale.
Enactment of this bill into a law will establish a pre
cedent which quickly and easily may lead to governmental
censorship of all printed matter. If it becomes unlawful
to publish advertising relating to the sale of intoxicating
liquors, it will be but a step to prohibit the advertising oi
tobacco, of underwear, of stockings or of any other com
modity in which a large portion of the public is interested.
It would almost appear that a law so drastic in its opera
tion would be in contravention of the constitutional guar
antees to the press. Not because the bill in question re
lates to advertising of alcohol, but for the broader reason
that it impinges upon personal rights, members of Con
gress should studv the measure seriously before commit
ting themselves to its support.—(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
ALASKA COAL LANDS
Alaska wants ample fuel and cheap fuel for its in
dustries, for its mines, and especially its winter mining,
and it wants cheap coal for smelting.
In 1!>1."> Alaska produced and shipped out £>0,000,000
worth of copper ore. The record for the current year will
probably be approximately $40,000,000. There is demand
for Alaska smelters to handle a part of these values in ore.
The government coal mines now being operated or under
process of development will relieve an emergent situation,
supply the navy and tend to a lower scale of prices, but the
great bulk of Alaska coal measures remains practically
undisturbed.
It is evident that if this needed development is to take
place leasing conditions must be such that capital will be
attracted. If the government has made a mistake in a
conservative view of what a coal lease should provide, it
should remedy the difficulty without delay and free the
great territory from restrictive taws and red tape at
whatever points experience and necessity may determine.
