MAKE MR. MARQUAM’S MAJORITY DECISIVE
Former Mayor Thomas A. Marquam, of Fairbanks,
Independent candidate for delegate to congress,, left Ju
neau to carry his campaign into the other Divisions of
Alaska convinced that he will receive a landslide vote in
the First division. He visited all the important points in
the First division except Sitka, which he will visit upon his
return to Southeastern Alaska early in October. He has
left organization work in all the towns in the hands of
committees that are energetic and enthusiastic. Every
where he found the large majority of the people actively
and earnestly supporting his candidacy. .
The people of Alaska have become sick and tired of
Delegate Sutherland's buncombe and failure to accomp
lish anything that is worth while. They realize, further
more, that his usefulness as a representative in congress,
if he ever had any, long ago ceased, for he has the confi
dence of neither the administration nor the leaders of
either the majority or the minority in the senate or house
of representatives.
On the other hand, the ability of Mr. Marquam and
his comprehension of the needs of Alaska, the sincerity
of his desire to be of service to the Territory and his
agree-able personality have greatly impressed all those
with whom he has come in contact. The verdict is that
he will make an efficient and desirable delegate to con
gress.
Mr. Marquam will make a speaking tour of South
eastern Alaska in October. At that time the voters wit
find that he can handle himself on the stump as well as
he handles himself in law courts where he is a very suc
cessful practitioner.

for the next three months is to work together in harmonj
for the election of Mr. Marquam. That he will be success
ful there seems no reason to doubt for a monent, but it is
desirable that his majority be as large as possible. If th(
contest were to be decided by the white voters of the Ter
ritory his majority would be overwhelming’ but there is
a large Indian vote that Mr. Paul has promised to delivei
to Mr. Sutherland. No chances can safely be taken on his
inability to make good on that promise. The majoirty foi
Mr. Marquam must be so sweeping that it will be decisive
even if the Indian vote is cast solidly against him—Juneau
Empire.
COSTS OF PROHIBITION
Appropriation for enforcement have been constant
ly increasing. They were $7,100,000 for the first year oJ
1920. They had become $14,655,722 for 1923. They arc
now up to $11,700,000. And yet enforcement is for tin
most part a failure by the admission of the chief govern
ment agents concerned and in the knowledge of aboiv
every oedv else.
This, however, is only a small part of the story. Th<
estimated government losses in revenue which would hav<
conic in under the old taxation method of treatment foo
up $8,742,500,000 for the prohibition period to date—i
sum which would practically meet the entire costs of tin
national government for a whole year. The figure is o:
present substantial interest in giving us a basis for ealeu
la ting the probable income of the vast and highly flourish
mg bootlegging industry.
What the government might have got cut of the li
quor traffic is now pouring into private pockets, and vas
sums besides, and the traffic continues in about as large ;
volume as ever.
The Gateway broke into the Literary Digest las
month which publication reproduced the notice of Harr;
Lyons. Apparently no one 'got it' until they saw it ii
the Digest.
Well-timed silence has more eloquence than speech.
