‘1TT?PTTT \TIOV fiITAR\NTKED TO RE MORE THAI
hOTTBLE THAT OF ANY OTHER AHA SKA NEWSPAPER
WANT COAL MINES NATIONALIZED.
Plans-- have been drawn np by Use I'nlted Min
Workers of America fcr a tentative guide to labor'
attiuide in the nationalization of the nation's eou
miner which is disired by the Mine Workers. Th
miners sometime ago appointed a committee to druv
up plans for carrying on a nationalization campaigi
and these were recently made public. It is estimate
by the unionists that the Government would hav
to pay approximately four and one-half billion dollar
lor the mines, $2,432,000,000 of which was estimatei
to cover the cost of acquisition of properties in har
coal fields.
For the operations of the mines it was suggests
that a Federal Interstate Commission of Mines at th
l ead of which would be a member of the President’
Cabinet known as the Secretary of Mines. The mem
bcrsblp of the cominis, ion would be appointed by th
President and by prof's -tonal and industrial associa
tions. The actual work ol administering the minim
operations would he dene by a National Minim
Ct unt il composed of representatives of the financial
t finical and administrative heads of tile industr;
d of representative* of miners and the public
iges would be the first charge made upon the in
t -try and there would be an established basic wag
x. ith differentials for skilled and dangerous work.
Several conditions were ret forth as being necee
sary for successful nationalization which include: ( 1
Administrative organizing minds in the public serv
ice; (2) A competent technical staff; (.'!) A 1 «l 0 pe
cent, organized union; (4) Collective bargaining pub
licly accepted as the basis of wage agreements; (5
k large labor representation in all departments o
Government; (6) A political labor party.
'This is a large order. Several of the above con
dltions will undoubtedly prove unacceptable to ai
bveerwholmlng majority of the public and at leas
one, the last of the six, U not viewed with favor b;
the American Federation of Labor and is lieartil:
denounced by President Qompers of that organization
It Is generally recognized that there has been in
excuruble mismanagement of the coal mining in
dustry; that there aro too many mines and too man
miners to permit continuous operation resulting i
evils which have reacted on the consuming public (
a greater degree than upon anyone else. Still th
public is far from being convinced that nationalize
tion Is the solution of the problems. It believes tha
a more satisfactory remedy can be found. It is no
sold on having the Government enter the coal mlnln,
business. The demand Is for loss and less Governmen
activity In business and less Government interfer
ence With all kinds of business. It may be tha
finally some sort of Government supervision of ntln
ing of coal will have to be established but it will b
for the protection of the public rather than for an
particular class of labor
HARISORD'S UNIQUE RECORD.
Maj. Gen. Janies G. Harbord, who assumed th
title and duties of president or the Radio Corporatio
of America a! the beginning of this year, has a recor
for achievement that ir seldom equalled, particular!
in the military profession. Gen. Harbord entered th
Army as a ‘‘buck" private at Ft. Leavenworth, Kans
on January 10, 188!l at the age of 21! years, lie wa
unable to get an appointment to West Point so cam
i.p from the ranks of enlisted men in the professio
he chose to make his own. He is a graduate of the Kar
saa Agricultural College.
lie served in the World War as General Pershing
chief of staff, and the Commander in Chief of th
A. K. F. raid of him: "He is the ablest officer
know A young officer who served under Goner;
Harbord a one time, remarked of him: "Ho can mak
you do more work than any other office! in the Ann
—and make you like it." One of the highest con
plimenls paid to him, however, came from Marsh;
Joffre, famcm French military commander, who sui
of him after observing his work In France: "lie
u greater man than Ludendorf; for Ludendorf hs
known quantities to m.rk with, and Harbord ht
unknown quantities."
in the resignation of Gen. Harbord. the Arm

service.
UP TO STATES TO MAKE GOOD.
The State of Tex a led tbo Nation i;i the numbe
c .ynchlng during 1U22. Georgia corning second an
I ;ssit£ippi third. Statistics recently made public b
the Tuekegee Normal and Indue rial Institute, a
Tuckcgr Ala., chew a total of 37 persons lynehe
during the past year, 51 being negroes and ij whiter
Thirteen of those lynched were taken from jails an
17 Term officers of the law on the outside of Jails.
Lynchings occurred in ten States as follows
Texas, 18; Georgia, 11; Miaistippi. nine; Florida am
Arkansas, five each- Louisiana, three; Alabama am
i
11 Tennessee, two each; Oklahoma and South Carolina,
11 one each. The same report said there were G8 in
Istances duriti- the year in which officers of the law
L frustrated a11 mpted lynchings, 14 of which were in
Northern and 41 in Southern States. In ten instances,
3 convictions carrying penitentiary sentences were se
cured against alleged members of mobs,
i jj0p jaw is a relic of barbarism, it has no place
in this country Seldom, if ever at all, is it defensible,
it is the slacktu of some ef the Stales in dealing
with outbreaks .1' mobs that has made it possible for
; Dyer bills to la brought into Congress, framed for
r politic:,1 ends rather than for the accomplishment of
real benefit. The attack of the State Highters in
Congress on the Dyer bill war, founded on well-sus
tained and logicil legal reasoning and was deservedly
r successful, Thai success makes it all the more im
1 porative for the several States to settle the problem
of eliminating mob misrule and extend adequate pre
j tection to all citizens, giving to everyone accused of
■ crime, fair and impartial trial and justice meted out
through established courts. Failure now will inevit
ably lead to repetition of the recent attempt to bring
about Interference by the Koderal Government.
Tho Alt. .ken who has twice tried to hang himseli
in Seattle probably believes he bad it coming. Any
individual, who, after living in Alaska 20 years, vol
untarily changes his residence to Seattle deserves to
be hung.
Approval by the House of the Committee resolu
tion exonerating Attorney General Daugherty will
probably force his critics to resign themselves to the
knowledge that he wont.
If that man Hoyden keeps on talking he is liable
to gei as unpopular with the Administration os one

i Alaska Line Needs Feeder.
(Seattle Times.)
* Failure cf the House Appropriations Committee!
I to provide in the War Department bill for the build
ing of new trails and roads to be used as feeders’
I for tlie Alaska Railway is disappointing to friends of
, tlie northern transportation s/etem. In taking no
action for the construction of tributary roads, the
committee conformed to the policy cf the Budget
"I Bureau, which had rejected recommendations of Al
- aska officials in tlie matter. The omission could be
- supplied by amendment of tlie measure in tlie House,
; lid this effort will be made. Its chance for suc
f cess, however, is slight, for the general tendency of
both branches cf this Congress in dealing with appro-j
’ priation bills lias been to follow committee sug
gestions.
For the maintenance of old trails and roads, tlie
' War Department measure carries an appropriation
J of $465,000, which was the allowance for the fiscal
year or 10211. This sum is far below tlie amount
. requested for maintenance work. Some of the money |
will be used to keep in condition trails and roads'
ttibutary to tlie railway, but none of it can bo de
voted to now construction.
Three agencies are engaged in trail and road work
' in the northern territory.
The Alaska Road Commission is composed of1
l three army officers and its units are provided by
Congress in the War Department appropriation bill.
. The Commission is the chief road construction and
! maintenance agency. Its expenditures exceed the
outlays of the other two agencies.
Tlie Agricultural Department’s Bureau of Roads
limits its work to activities within and close to na
tional forests, its funds are provided by Congress.
]lt spent approximately $208,466 in 1022.
- Tlie Territorial Board of Road Commissioners re
. ccivcs its funds from the Alaska Legislature. It ex
, pended* about $131,Out) in 1 922. it co-operates with
both tlie Federal road commission and Hie Forestry
1 road bureau. The Territorial board's funds are avail
3 able for both construction anil maintenance. The
' amount that can bo applied to construction is com
- paratively small by itself, but, nevertheless, an im
i port ant factor whenever it can be used in conjuncton
t with funds of the Federal road commission.
All trails and roads in Alaska suffered deteriora
tion during and immediately after the World War,
but they have been rehabilitated in the last few
years. While their maintenance is essential, the con
( ft ruction of new roads is vital to tlie government
- railway.
e The Alaska Railroad, from Seward on the coast
y to Fairbanks in the interior, penetrates a zone abound
ing in coal, precious mineral and agricultural pos
sibilities. Except near the terminals of tlie transpor
tation system, its territory is undeveloped, and much
of It is virtually inaccessible for lack of trails and
roads. Without the construction of highways to bring
traffic from adjacent areas to the railroad, it cannot
lie a business success.
What funds Congress withholds from tributary
I trails and roads will be absorbed, with no resultant
y benefit, 1n railway deficits.

One Year of Bursum.
(New York Evening Post.)
11 Who is Bursum, so prominent in the Senate o!
- late? When, in the autumn of 1921, President Hard
ing wrote n special letter to assist Mr. Bursum in
s carrying New Mexico, when he followed Bursum’s
e victory by a letter of congratulation, referring to
"your excellent service," we were prepared to expect
much. Some ill-natured Westerners wrote that Bur
I sum was just a local politician who had carried the
e State only by its Spanish-speaking voters, all the
> towns except three having gone for his opponent.
- So we had no reaeon to expect that when he entered
II the Senate he would soon make the name of Bursum
j I famous.
j It is famous. Mr Bursum has alreidy introduced
lour pieces of legislation which have made him known
s| to every one interested in public agaars. Ilencefortli
s it need only be said of a measure that it is Bursum's,
' and Americans will know just what to think of it.
\ The first bill was to facilitate the retirement of
y World War officers on pay. Senator Smoot said that
, | such reckless proposals made him think Congress was
"going crazy. Senator Lenroot said that ‘t was
["grossly discriminatory." Senator Wadsworth de
clared that it set a vicious precedent and would "lead
t to no end of expense." Then came the second Bur
‘itm bill, a measure to pay the soldiers' bonus, r.ne
I ' half down, and half within live years, by issuing
I! Treasury certificates and collecting the Allied debt,
i | file third Bursum bill, that for taking the lands of
II the Pueblo Indians and giving them to New Mexican
I claimants, is fresh in the public mind. Tb .* fourth
Bursum bill, a pension scheme which Harding esti
utted would coot fifty billion." h.j tost been vetoed.
There would sec-in to be ar • ..r.ological connection
between Bursum and disburse:.
The comforting though- : vat a Senator woo
I makes such a record in ),;» f.rst year v ill not be
I much of a menace in the suet - ding Are years.
