A REMDY TOR EVERYTHING.
The national capital and labor party—“the only capitalis
tic political party not owned, controlled or dominated by the
money power,” as its prospectus describes it, has been born
into the world at Fresno, Cal. Its literature contains, too, the
following fond expectation: “It is openly declared by many
prominent people who are in position to know the political
temperature that we will carry the next election by the largest
majority evef accorded any political party.” Here are some of
the newcomer’s planks.
Maintenance of gold stardard.
Land values and bonds made basis for newr cur
rency.
Government to take over exclusive handling of all
first mortagages, and municipal, county and state
bonds.
Permanent improvement of all public highways.
Government land titles office to substitute our
present abstract system; government certificates of
title to cost but $1.
Government supervision and control of all public
utilities.
Income tax greatly increased on large incomes.
Government to manufacture all munitions of war.
Maintenance1 of army and navy and increase of
coast defense.
Government hospitals at each county seat.
Compulsory breaking up of large land holdings.
Present tax system to be immediately decreased
and to be eventually discontinued altogether.
Government elevators and warehouses.
Corporations to have equal protection with labor,
if they strictly comply with government requirements.
Reclamation of arid, swamp and waste lands by
prison labor of the state's concerned.
A tariff for revenue and protective tariff com
bined.
All labor troubles to be settled by compulsory
arbitration.
Compulsory common school education, old age
pensions and abolishment of child labor.
Drastic measures adopted to prevent further
concentration of national wealth, and to reduce pres
ent concentration.
Exclusion of foreign laborers, except as needed
and solicted by the government.
All offices to be filled by direct vote of the people.
Providing for limit of interest on second mortag
age and short-time loans.
All merchandise, etc., to be sold only under Eng
lish names.
Automatic solution of the liquor problem for all
time.
There remaining nothing else to be solved the platform
here comes to a close.
EDITORIAL COMMENTS.
Many Southeastern Alaska papers are trying to bring
about a division of the territory. This should not be thought
of for a moment, as Alaska united' will command much more
political patronage than would Alaska divided. Very few
parts of the territory would profit by division, while the empire
as a whole wold be worse off.—Valdez Prospector.^
The eminently satisfactory manner in which the public
schools of Cordova have been conducted for the past two years,
having attained the highest state of perfection, reflects great
credit upon the principal, Miss Ware, who is a most efficient
instructor and' an indefatigable worker.
For the sake of literature may Poet Robert W. Service,
who is fighting with the Canadians in France, be spared. He
may immortalize the battle scenes in his vigorous verse as he
has already the life of the Yukon country.
The Australian parliament has gone on record pledging
themselves forever against the purchase of German goods.
We’ve been told that the Germans were the only real good and
efficient haters.
The Alaska Hoard Commission crews have completed their
work for this season, and the trail over Sour Dough hill is still
a menace to prospectors.
There is considerable mining activity at Port Wells, the
Cordova Mining and Development Company being among the
chief operators. ,
Is it all patriotism that cause the British to flock to the
recruiting office every time a Zeppelin rains bombs?
Much of the femine beauty of today isn’t even skin deep.
