THESE BILLS SHOULD PASS
Tlie tariff bills introduced in Con
gress by Senator McNary and Repre
sentative Kahn, proposing protection
for the chrome, graphite and other
mining industries in the United States
should pass. Ores containing these
and other minerals were opened up
in Alaska, and elsewhere, in direct
response to the needs developed by
the war. While the mine, in all prob
ability, whould have been put on a
.basis where no protection would have
been needed, had the war continued,
the sudden termination of the conflict
left things so that development work
that was undertaken will prove a very
severe burden on those who patrioti
cally responded to the call for help
if protection that would permit of
their continued operation is not given.
The Empire is printing a discussion
of these measures which appeared in
the Seattle Times, wherein Jack Un
derwood, formerly of Alaska, writes.
Mr. Underwood, however, inconsist-:
ently intimates that should the meas-j
ures pass the houses of Congress they
wight meet with a Presidential veto,:
for, he says, “the Democratic party is
pledged to free trade.” The only thing
that is wrong about that is that it
is not true. The Democratic party is
not “pledged to free trade,” and never,
has been. The present very satisfac-;
tory tariff measure, the Underwood
Tariff, was passed by a Democratic
Senate and Democratic House of Rep-:
resentatives and approved by a Dem-:
©cratic President as a fulfillment of:
the Democratic promise to reform the
tariff, and it is not and never was
intended to be a free trade measure.!
President Wilson and his party do not
eppose protection for “infant indus-i
tries.” They oppose treating the great
est and wealthiest manufacturing con-!
corns of the world as infants, and the
manufacturers of the country have
generally accepted their verdict.
President Wilson has urged Con
gress to provide a tariff for some in
dustries. particularly those that have
grown up around the production of
dyes, which resulted from war condi
tions. The proposed tariff to protect
some of these mining industries which
were developed by the war is directly
in line with, the proposed protection
for the dyestuffs industries. In fact,
chrome and the other metals discussed
by Mr. Underwood are used in the
production of dyestuffs, and we can
not have an independent American
dyestuffs industry unless we have
African chrome and other metals
usM in' their production.—Juneau
Empire.
VOICE OF THE ALASKA PRESS
Doc Cook is going to the North
Pole by air. That is the way the
Doc found it before, mostly—hot air.
No matter how he goes, we recom
mend that be refrain from returning
via Denmark.—Juneau Empire.
The Times is committed to the sup
port of no political machine, but we
favor the “square deal” principle of
statesmanship as exemplified in the
life of the late Theodore Rooseveltr
aud we shall bitterly oppose political
ambitions of those who do not meet
•with the “square deal” requirements
and dimensions.—Ketchikan Times.
Many Valdez citizens are urging At
torney A. J. Dimond to allow his name
to go before the Democratic primaries
as a candidate for territorial represen
tative. Mr. Dimond has been a citizen
of Alaska for many years. He has
never asked for any office at the hands
of the people. He has served the city
several terms as councilman and
mayor, and has made one of the best
officials the city has ever had. If
Valdez can induce him to represent tlic
city in the coming legislature our in
terests will be well guarded.—Valdez
Miner.
Anchorage citizens are sleeping on
their rights. For the past three years
we have been talking about a court
house. Nothing further than talk has
been accomplished. The Anchorage
Bar Association has made a half
hearted attempt t*o influence the
proper authorities in our behalf.
Other efforts to create favorable and
just recognition have proven unavail
ing.—Anchorage Times.
The candidacy of John C. McBride
for Republican national committeeman
from Alaska shows that there are ef
forts being made to cut Wickersham
out of Republican politics in Alaska.
Herron is up and down and across the
board for Wickersham. McBride is a
straight-out Republican, without any
isms. He is a strong candidate for
the Republicans, and should receive
the solid support of the Republicans
except at Anchorage, where the vote
will be possibly about fifty-fifty.—Sew
ard Gateway.
