OUR NATIONAL TRADEMARK
/
Congressman Sims has introduced
a bill in the house proposing to es
♦ablish by authority of congress a
national trade mark for goods pro
duced in the U. S. A. It is not a bad
Idea, at that, provided our American
Manufacturers will have any use for
the insignia when the war is over.
There is no doubt that goods stamped
"Made in the U. S. A.” will sell bet
ter in certain quarters of the globe
than those bearing the brand, ‘‘Made
hi Germany,” but we should not per-|
ssit ourselves to be carried away with
this appealing sentiment.
Business knows no sentiment and
the scramble for commerce that will
tome during the reconstruction period!
is bound to usher in a reign of cut
throat competition that will play no
favorites among the nations. The
bonds of sentiment and self-sacrifice
that now hold nations together will
he dissolved with the advent of peacej
and our friends at arms will im-1
mediately become our foes in com
merce. That America now professesJ
and is generally accepted, to be the
•champion of all deserving nations,
is no guarantee that she will gain a
fair share of the world’s commerce
without making a fight for it. It is
foolish to calculate on holding a dol
lar’s worth of international trade on
such a flimsy basis. Existing friend
ships will soon be forgotten when the
battleflags are furled and the compe
tition for commanding commercial
position will be the fiercest in all his
tory. Besides, it is just barely pos
sible that the nations now friendly
to us will feel that we have been well
paid for our services.
All of which is more or less of a
speculation, but of this one thing we
are certain: Unless our tariff law is
sensibly revised, so as to secure to
American trade the protection it will
need, our chief concern as to national:
trade marks will be how to meet the
competition of foreign brands right'
here at home. The probabilities are,|
unless the administration radically
changes its course, that the only na
tional trade mark we will sport will1
be a patch on the seat of our pants—!
similar in design to that adopted of
necessity by the American people dur
ing the Cleveland administration.

The generous response of our peo
ple in the purchase of tjiird Liberty
bonds speaks volumes for the loyal
and patriotic spirit of Cordovans.
“While the quota for this town is
$47,000 it is believed that more than
this sum will be subscribed within the
next few days. Why not make Cor
dova’s contribution an even $100,000
before the drive is over?

CHAS. A. SULZER
Candidate for Re-election
As
DELEGATE TO CONGRESS
From Alaska
“In deciding to enter the primaries as a candidate for Delegate to Congress
from Alaska, I feel impelled to make a brief statement to the people of the
territory. It is now nearly a year since I was seated in the House as Alaska's
representative to congress. During the most of this time the United States
has been engaged in a world war, and every resource of the nation, including
money and man power, is being devoted to the single purpose of winning this
great war. Every member of congress in considering legislation for the na
tion has placed the country’s war needs above all needs and requirements“'and
has subordinated his desires to the military establishment of the United States.
“Alaska has responded nobly to the nation’s call. She has given her share
willingly and unstintingly. When the Democratic party went before the peo
ple of Alaska in November, 1916, it stood for a certain constructive
program which embodied as its principal elements a wider measure of
home rule for the territory, and a sane and rational policy in the develop
ment of natural resources and every possible aid to the pioneers of the coun
try.
“I have introduced among others the following bills in congress which I
am pressing for passage as opportunity affords:
“Granting Alaska full territorial form of government with home rule the
dominating principle.
“Regulating the fisheries of Alaska along lines that will be fair to all, and
the protection of the salmon supply from depletion.
“Making changes in the homestead laws by abolishing the eighty rod
reservation.
“Authorizing free surveys of homesteads in isolated sections.
“Changing the game laws so as to give the people a better opportunity to
use the game of the country without its being slaughtered.
“Extending the federal farm loan act to Alaska.
“Providing for the care of Alaska’s insane within the territory.
“At all times I have endeavored to keep constantly in mind the needs of
the territory and the people of the territory. In spite of the war some meas
ure of progress has been achieved. I have assisted in passing a law which
helped the prospector by suspending assessment work on claims during the
years 1917 and 1918. The extension of the wireless and cable system in Alas
ka has been accomplished with bright prospects for a further extension.
“Recognition has been forced for Alaska in the matter of appointments to
the second series of training camps for officers. Contracts which prevented
the farmers of the interior from supplying army posts with their vegetables
are canceled.
“Suggestions and requests that I again go before the people of Alaska have
come to me from Alaskans all over the territory. Reiterating my desire to
serve the best interests of Alaska I am submitting my name as a candidate
for the democratic nomination for Delegate to Congress.”
