AN ABLE COMMISSION
Whether President Hoover’s recently appointed
Commission on Law Enforcement, headed by former
Attorney General Wickersham, shall find a solution
to the tremendous probem which confronts it or not,
it is generally conceded that its members are composed
of 10 men and one woman admirably suited for the
difficult task. _ . .
None of the 11 can be classified as being either
fanatically wet or fanatically dry, but a survey of their
previous records and utterances inclines observers to
place six in the dry column and five in the wet. This
may or may not be an accurate estimate, but in any
event it appears that the commission is fairly well
balanced in this respect. What is even more important
is the fact that each member is credited with the
highest character and the purest motives.
The commission will study all phases of the crime
problem, not merely the prohibition question. A long
and arduous duty confronts these distinguished citi
zens, and while their conclusions will be advisory only,
their finding will doubtless carry weight and be of
the .highest value in framing legislation designed to
correct the deploraible conditions which now exist,
particularly if they are able to agree unanimously, or
nearly so, in their final recommendations.
In the meantime their fellow citizens should give
them full moral support in their patriotic undertaking.
A HEALTHY SIGN
The invasion of new capital into Westward fur
farms with ne wideas and additional fur-bearing animals
is a healthy sign that they are not bluffed by bear. The
present sponsor of the Long Island-Marmot Island pro
ject under the name of the Alaska Fur Corporation is
authority for the statement that much more money
could be had from WTall Street if fur regulations were
less stringent. Apparantly all our laws both at Wash
ington and Juneau have sewed the Territory tight
against foreign invasion.
