DON'T BRING BAC K THE BOOTLEGGER
One of the most serious problems facing the Territorial
Legislature, now in session, is that of liquor control. The
legislators gave recognition to this fact when, almost qs
soon as it was organized the House brought into being a
committee of eight to study the situation. The Senate lat
er instituted a committee of three to work with the House
committee.
If the pro-conceived ideas of the committeemen, ex
pressed in a poll taken recently remain unchanged, it is
likely that the present system will be altered very iittle. As
expressed by their votes at that time, the majority are satis
fied with the setup as it now is They do not care for Terri
torial stores, nor sales by the glass. Municipal control is
likewise frowned upon, and beer parlors are considered
more troublesome than liquor stores. "Out of hour liquor
sales by illicit places were unanimously conceded to be the
Hv in tiie ointment.
Indeed, that last item is the one requiring the greatest
consideration. Opponents of the present system may at least
concede that it has sent the bootlegger looking for a job. The
"racket” has not been entirely eradicated, but most of the
boys who used to "deal” have been forced to seek a more
legitimate livelihood, and that is a good thing. The Legisla
ture will have to consider that any curb on hours or other
limitation of supply will put many of these back in business.
Glaring flaws are apparent in the present control, but
in considering any change the ill effects must be placed
along-side the good ones and weighed carefully. It seems
to us that a more rigid method of issuing licenses is more
important than the manner of dispensation.—Alaska Press
WORLD COURT BOGIES
Joining it, the United States will enhance its prestige
and strengthen its enfluence, besides making plain to all
that the United States is not unwilling to take its part in
the organized forces working for international security.
The fears sometimes expressed that in joining the court the
United States will sacrafice its independence and will lose
its sovereignty are bogies not worth second thought. The
attitude of the people has many times been made plain.
What now remains is for the senate to make it effective.
With a clear majority of two-thirds in the senate, the ad
ministration will have no excuse if ratification is not prompt
ly forthcoming.—Hartford Courant._

SUBSIDIZING AGRICULTURE
If the United States is to have a healthy agriculture, it
cannot be permanently subsidized. The contribution which
the processing taxes and other benefit payments made to
the financial gains of agriculture last year cannot be reason
ably expected to become a continuous contribution. Even
‘if bv some artificial method the agricultural price index
should eventually be brought into close correspondence
with the industrial price index, nothing appears more cer
tain than that it could not be held there for very long unless
the government fundamentally alters its present policy. A
price structure supported by artificial means of the char
acter now being employed is subject to too many hazards
of fortune to afford any real sense of permanency.—Provi
dence Journal.
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
U. S. Senator Francis T Maloney, of Connecticut, says:
‘ I know of no more sound or sensible kind of advertis
ing than that which is afforded by the newspapers.
"This method of carrying the message of individuals or
corporations to the consuming public has an advantage that
:s missing in so many other kinds of advertising. It goes
out with a perfect regularity and as a part of a regular news
organ. It is anticipated advertising..
"I have a humble expression that carefully prepared
advertising in the press affords the advertisers a greater op
portunity for return, in most instances than any other med- |
