- SPEAKING OF HOBSON.
In mentioning Congressman Hob
son of Alabama yesterday as the lead
er of the prohibition movement in the
House, we touched the source of offi
cial agitation for prohibition and the
leakiest bucket in the brigade. He
it was on December 22, 1914, inrtoduc
ed a resolution for an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States
forever prohibiting for sale, manu
facture for sale, importation for sale
of intoxicating liquors for beverage
purposes in the United States and all
territory subject to the jurlsdicion
thereof, and exportation for sale there
of. Among the others opposing the
resolution (which failed largely) was
Oscar Underwood, now senator from
Alabama, Hobson's state. Hobson
has a following in Alabama, and that
state is in the “dry" ranks. That re
sult and the results therefrom bring
us of the cities of Alaska nearer
"home" on the subject of prohibition,
which we must vote on next Novem
ber. Take the result of prohibition
in Birmingham, Alabama:
Alabama is struggling with a de
ficit of $3,000,000 since prohibition
went into effect, and the city of Bir
mingham has since then been com
pelled to dispense with its health of
ficer, discontinue its streetcleaning
and garbage collecting, let out its
city physician and market inspector,
extinguish half its street lights, cut
the city school term from nine to
seven months, and reduce by 10 per
cent the salaries of teachers where
their salaries reached $75 a month.
It has let out one-third of its police
' force and put the remaining two-thirds
on a 12-hour shift. It has closed sev
eral fire stations, stopped every cent
of its appropriations to hospitals,
children’s homes and charities, and
reduced by one-third its annual al
lowances for the maintenance of
parks. In short, it has had to cut its
expenses $340,000, to meet its decreas
ed revenues.
What would apply in Birmingham
Alabama, would apply in a greater de
gree in Fairbanks, Alaska, for the
support of public schools, improve
ments and firefighting forces is to
a far greater degree here dependent
upon the revenue from liquor licenses
than in Birmingham. The gross rev
enues of Fairbanks are around $64,
000. Some $21,000 of that comes from
federal licenses. From taxation of
property both real and personal of
men who are engaged in the manu
facture of sale of malt and spiritous
liquors, and those citizens whj are
1 employed by such people, another $29,
000 from $64,000 and what would be
the result?
Today the schools of Fairbanks are
supported entirely by license money
—that ik, the license money covers the
cost of the schools and no more. The
fire department and the schools re
quire half or more than half of the
total revenues of the city. Cut out
half of our revenue, or nearly half,
and what will become of our schools
or our fire department? All the
schools and half of the fire depart
ment, or all the fire department and
half of the schools or three-fourths of
both of them (enough to make neither
of them efficient) will have to go. No
use saying what other ways can be
found to make up the deficit — the
people consider themselves over-tax
ed now; besides, there is a legal lim
it to taxation, and the limit would not
come near making up the deficiency.
Do you know that more than one
third of the total revenues of the
United States are derived from the
liquor business? Do you know that
the only remedy really suggested or
considered for creating revenues to
replace such a deficit if national pro
hibition ruled is to reduce the income
tax exemptions to $1,000 and DOUBLE
the tax? Would the rich stand for
that? It would be all right with us,
if they would pay it, but they won't.
Hobson nor any other legislator can
prohibit a man making liquor for his
’ own use, nor can any law be passed
to keep any man from drinking as he
sees fit, so long as he is not an habit
ual drunkard—the Constitution of
the United States guarantees a man
such rights.
Nowhere under the sun is there a
land where personal rights and per
sonal freedom are demanded and de
sired more than in Alaska. Most men
are here in the search for the land
of greater personal freedom—here in
search of personal freedom in the ut
most, or to live off such men. No city
the size of Fairbanks anywhere on
earth has less drunkenness than Fair
I. W. Irwin, a miner of Kasaan,
came in the ohter day with an injur
ed hand. I)r. Myers, by using the X
ray, discovered a steel splinter, re
moved it and Mr. Irwin’s hand is as
good as of old. He will return to his
work shortly.

MARVELS OF NEWLY
FOUND FOSSIL BACTERIA
Marvellous as were the discoveries
of such pre-liistoric monsters as the
mammoth, the mastodon and the
stegosaurus, they are now eclipsed by
recent investigations which show the
most minute microbes and bacteria
in fossil form. The ancestors of our
modern infectious disease germs and
microbes have been found in lossils
of the earliest life on tne earth.
Fossil bacteria have been discover
ed in every ancient limestones col
lected by Dr. Charles D. Walcott, sec
retary of the Smithsonian Institution,
in Gallatin county, Montana. For some
time Dr. Walcott has believed that
these bacteria existed, and mention
of the fact was made recently before
the Botanical Society of Washington,
when attention was called to their ex
istence in association with fossil algal
deposits of the Newland limestone.
The belief that bacteria were the
most important factor in the disposi
tion of those ancient limestones was
also mentioned by Dr. Walcott in a
preliminary publication of the Smith
sonian Institution. At that time, how
ever, no definite bacteria had been dis
covered, but in thin sections of lime
stone from the collections made in
1914 the microscope now shows these
very minute forms of life, some 20,
000,OuO to 30,000,000 of years old.
The bacteria were discovered in
three sections from an algal form in
cluded under the generic name Gal
latinia, named after the great Ameri
can explorer Gallatin. The bacteria
consist of individual cells and appar
ent chains of cells which correspond
in their physical appearance with the
cells of micrococci, a form of bacteria
of today.
The world has believed that bac
teria were modern forms of life, but
now we are made to realize that they
existed in the dawn of world history,
many million years ago.

HOW AMERICAN MUSKRAT
IS TROUBLING BOHEMIA
The muskrat is now considered to
be the most dangerous animal pest in
Bohemia. It was introduced from
America in 1905 on the estate of
Prince Colloredo-Mannsfeld, and has
since spread over a region of 100
miles radius from Dobrzisch, near
Prague, where it was first liberated.
The muskrat has developed a long
list of evil traits of which it is ap
parently innocent in its native habi
tat. It has been especially destruc
tive in connection with the fish in
dustries.
banks, or fewer people who suffer
from the effects of drink. Not the
greater part of our population drinks,
nor will the smaller part of the popu
lation esteem it a favor or aid if the
larger population of non-drinkers
takes away from the minority the
right to drink a glass of beer when
the minority likes.
If you wish to see our schools clos
ed or reduced to a minimum of effi
ciency; if you wish to see our fire de
partment cut out or put down to a
bucket brigade with doubled insur
ance rates, put in with the prohibition
ists and they will see that it comes
that way. They have nothing to offer
in lieu of the revenues from Federal
licenses; nothing that would be ac
cepted by a bank as ample security
against the destruction of Fairbanks.
