DRAH'S PARALLEL DID NOT GO;
FAR ENOUGH.
In one of his recent speeches in!
lich he urged the United States to1
tend recognition to soviet Russia,)
irah drew a parallel between the
•ance of 1793 under Jacobin rule and
jssia today under communistic con
3l. in fact, France at that time was;
dng (through the same process as
at now going on in Russia.
Senator Borah called attentoin to,
e acceptance by President \\ ash
gton of the credentials of Minister;
met, implying that President Hard
g would be following this precedent
ex'er - ing recognition to the Lenine
gimt. But Borah failed to carry the
.rallel to its conclusion and thus
isled his audience.
He failed to say that Citizen Genet •
ider the cloak of diplomatic immuni
made himself so obnoxious in tr> -
g to involve this country in a con
st with England and Spain that he
id to be sent borne. Historians agree
at Washington was deeply chagrin
1 and regretted his act in accepting
enet—which was probably done be
.use of propaganda supported by
ich men as Jefferson, in favor ot
ranee. The fact is that Washington’s
cperience rather (than setting up a
.vorable precedent for Harding is a
arning against having anything to do
ith the Reds until they have a gov
-nment of law and order instead of
ipine and murder.
ONE reason that (taxes are so high
; that many legislators who serv
d since 1913 has had some pet bill
ailing lor higher taxes. By 1930 in
ustries will be taxed out of existence
Why not join the Commercial Out
nd become a booster. Seward needs
ou?
All indications point to a prosper
us year in. Seward. The commissioi
ias given enough contracts to loca
irms to keep the sawmills runnin;
11 year, the local logging and ti
?amps are busy, and from every hand
lomos a demand for labor. The local
tannery and the cold storage plant
will also employ much labor.
Every day in every way the reasons
tor moving the capital to Seward are
becoming plainer and plainer. Out of
the sixteen legislators at Juneau ad
but four of them are forced Co travel
from 800 to 1500 miles to get to the
business center of the territory Wh>
not move the center closer to the mid
dle. instead of having it on the edge?
It is to be hoped that in their anx
iety to force the foreign canneries to
pay a just tax the legislature does not
force the small Alaskan companies out
of business. Most of these concerns
pack less than ten thousand cases so
the 15 cents per case tax will not hurl
them much; but the income tax am
other taxes will bear down heavilj
It is bad for growing industries ti
place too heavy a load on them.

dust storm does damage
IN PENDLETON, OREGON;
!
PENDLETON. Ore.—Pendleton was
struck recently by a terrific wind
storm which tore down wires and did
much general damage. Trees were up
rooted and small branches were swept
about the city. Several autos were
moved on the streets and one car was
carried half a block. The wind pene
trated the most substantially built
! homes carrying the light alkili dust.
Auto drivers reported it unsale to
drive on the highways owing to the
blinding dust.
