The .Tuneau Record-Miner rises to
remark that it is not “any mer
chant in particular who will be affected
by the increased taxation of territorial
governmnet. It is the property ow
ners, railroad builders and the like who
have invested their all in a wilderness
and produced a community of industry.
Tax these industries as they have to
be taxed to maintnia territorial gov
rnment and many will fail. I he num
ber of industries and the amount of
taxable property now in Alaska is not
large enough to bear the burden of
taxation that would be necessary if
the territory were made self-governing
at the present time.”
Still “harping on the tune of one
string!” The assumption that a ter
ritorial organization would necessarily
bring increased taxation is not justified
by anytheory other than that the
people of Alaska are incapable of an
intelligent exercise of the privileges
of local self-government. Such an
argument, or suggestion, rather,
might be made with some show of
sense or reason, as applicable to
Puerto Rico or the Philippines, but
we apprehend that the Record-Miner
will hardly wish to be understood as
intending to make such an argument
in the case of Alaska. And yet it
amounts to just that and nothing more,
for the reason that under a territorial
form of government taxation would
bo just what the people themselves
made it, within, of course, the limit
fixed by the organic act.
Increased taxation is the bugaboo
which the anti home rule papers
keep constantly before their readers,
and yet not one of them has yet es
sayed to explain wherein would he the
necessity for it, how much would be
the cost, in fact, fail to give the
readers anything other than mere as
sertio unsustained by either facts,
figures or sound reasoning. And it
is to be regretted that there arc hon
est, well meaning Alaskans who un
thinkingly give heed to this bugaboo
cry, and deplore the efforts that are
making for the political habilitation
of Alaska as tending to their injury
rather than their benefit. Such per
sons should unite in a demand upon
those who set up this bugaboo
for something tangible,—to be shown
substantial reasons for tht faith they
profess, instead of asking others to ac
cept that- faith on the strength of
mere assertion only.
{ There is no better way of judging
' f ~ -ifcauAttM. *Ua •Iqrfchc.Aijt. sJa h#"**
' I ' that conditions may Change, arid the
rule may not be a wholly unerring
(me, but as a general thing it may be
held aslgood, if not better than, any
other. If that be even partially true,
■ what then becomes of the feeble con
tention born of fear, that local self
government will entail upon the peo
ple of Alaska a burden of taxation too
grevious to be borne/* In the light of
all the facts to be found in the history
of territorial organizations, that fear
would appear to be groundless, and,
conceding the intelligence of the peo
ple Alaska to be equal to that of the
people of any other territory at the
time of its organization, wholly un
tenable. In looking over some statis
tics of the territories printed in 18(19
we find a statement of salaries paid to
territorial officials which at this time
will be found interesting, if indeed
they do not serve any other purpose.
The Territory of Washingon, organ
ized in 1853, had fifteen years later a
salary list consisting of a territorial
treasurer who was paid per centage on
the amount of public funds received
and disbursed by him, a territorial
auditor whose salary was $500 per an
num, and a prosecuting attorney for
each of the three judicial districts, who
were paid $200 and fees each.
Montana, organized in 1804, had a
territorial salary list four years later,
consisting of a treasurer with an an
nual salary of $700 and fees, an auditor
with the same amount of salary and
fees, an attorney general with salary
of $200 and fees, and a secretary of the
Board of Agriculture, and Superinten
dent of Public Insturction with salaries
of $700 each.
Colorado, organized in 1804, had in
1808, a list of four territorial officials,
consisting of treasurer, auditor, adju
tant general and superintendent of
public instruction, the sum total of the
annual salaries of whom amounted to
$2,300.
Arizona, organized in 1803, managed
to get along until after 1809, with a
territorial auditor and treasurer, with
salaries of $050 each.
Dakota, organized in 1801, had in
1808, a territorial treasurer at pet
annum, an attorney-general, who was
* paid a salary of $250 a year and fees,
and a superintendent of public instruc
tion at $3 per day. In that year the
whole amount of taxes collected in
what is now the two great states of
North and South Dakota, was $380.49,
and the total amount paid in salaries,
$357.75.
Of course, it will not be contended
that the above quoted figures would
be anywhere nearly equal to what
would be the salary requirement under
territorial organization in Alaska, but
if we multiply the salaries embraced
In the largest list—that of Montana—
by ten, it would yet leave $200,000

ilists to cover their estimate of annual

ment. economically administered,
would not lie such as to necessitate a
single dollar of direct taxation. Win n
that proposition is flatly denied, Tiie
Mining News will undertake to dem
onstrate its truth,
‘WAY OFF ITS BASE.
The Jur.eau Dispatch is either not al
together disingenuous in its reference
on Collector Hobart’s statement of
merchandise brought into Alaska dur
ing the calendar year, 1906, or else
wanders far away from his base when
it says “Ketchikan lends Southeastern
Alaska ports in tiie amount of mer
chandise shipped from the United
States to Alaskan ports, Treadwell
eiines within a few hundred dollar.
of equaling Ketchikan, while Juneau
is some seven thousand dollars in the
rear. The combined ports of tin
Juneau mining district crowd Nome,
which is the banner porrt of the
north. The large amount shown to
Ketchikan is occasioned by thy coke
used on Prince of Wales Island points
being entered at that port. Tread
well goes away up in the list by rea
son of the heavy coal shipments.'’
The facts are that Treadwell was
a little more than a few thousand,
instead of hundreds,behind Ketchikar,
in 1006 merchandise receipts, and
$28,032 behind its pwn total for the
previous year. It does not appear,
therefore, that Treadwell went away
up in the list by reason of the heavy
coal shipmentts, though it is true that
she very materially widened her lead
as compared with Juneau, which last
place named fell from a lead of $24, -
243 over Ketchikan in 1905, to $71,
083 behind the latter in 1906. Nor is
it true that Ketchikan's increase' was
“occasioned by tiie coke used at
Prince of Wales points being entered
at that port.” The total amount of
shipmens into the places of wliat the
collector designates as the Southern
Section is given at $4,451,203, of
which $861,433 is credited to “all
other” than the ten principal places
-Douglas, Haines, Juneau, Ketchikan
Loring, Pyramid Harbor, Skagway,
Sitka, Treadwell and Wrangell—every
place on Prince of Wales Island being
designated separately in his detailed
statement, and credited with the
merchandise consigned to them: as for
instance, Hadley, $113,409, Copper
mount, $42,055, Kasaan, $29,827, of a
total of $ 435,452,. So it is not pos
sible that any part of tiie shipments to
Prince of Wales Island could have
been included in the amount credited
to Ketchikan.
NOTE AND COMMENT
—Mrs. Emma I. Barr, tiie female
woman who is attempting to stick her
dilated [nose into the puddle of Alas
ka legislation^Jianded out the follow
ing dope to the people' dT“¥?ome, say's
tho Douglas News: “It is a great
pleasure to he in this progressive
town. The saloons here are respect
able. There is little drunkenness
There is every sign of order and so
briety. Vice itself does not flaunt in
open daylight nor brush skirts with
modesty, as it does in Juneau, Ketch
ikan, Douglas and Fairbanks. In
those places women are admitted to
tiie saloons and sit there in broad day
light at tiie tables patent to the eye of
every passerby. Tiie little newsboys
are brought up in such scenes as
those. The little newsgirls—for the
girls have taken to selling newspapers
in those cities—are corrupted in their
very infancy. Vice is bold and dar
ing in Southeastern Alaska. It is a
marvel to me to see tiie decency and
order that prevail here. It may be
that there is evil here. I do not doubt
it. But a great step lias been gained
when it is not open to tiie public gaze
and dare not parade itself to the hurt
of tiie respectable.” Without detract
ing in tiie least from wliat this female
iterloper says of conditions at Nome,
Tiie Mining News is willing to go on
record as pronouncing her statement
regarding Southeastern Alaska as
wholly an unqualifiedly false. There
is no more vice in the towns of South
eastern Alaska than is to be found in
many of those of the same size in tiie
States, and exactly what particular
graft this woman may have in view is
not clear, though it is said she is after
an appropriation for a chilren’s home
in Alaska. Such an institution in Al
aska would lie about as useful as was
tiie home for discarded wives built by
the general government at Salt Lake
and which never had an inmate..
—Important recommendations for
river and [harbor work in Alaska
have been made by the rivers and
harbors committee and this year’s bill
will probably authorize the survey of
Dry Straits, with tiie view of improv
ing this route as an alternative chan
nel to ho used instead ofWrangel nar
rows. One of the most important pro
jects ever contemplated for water way
improvemnt in Alaska has been
favorably reported by Capt.G. B. Pills
bury, of the corps of engineers, and has
■been endorsed by Gen. Mackenzie,
chief of engineers. The report, with
Gen. Mackenkie’s indorsement, was
sent to congress giving the results of
the preliminary survey of the proposed
canal to connect St. Michael with the
Yukon River. The construction of this
canal would obviate the hazardous
voyages across Bering Sea between St.
Michael and the mouth of the Yukon
and the scheme lias long been urged.
Mackenzie’s indorsement of the report
is as follows:
“The entire supply of the interior
of Alaska is carded by boeta plyitffc
1 •
jn the Yukon River. The only known
ivilahle point where merchandise can
be transported from sea going ves
sels to river boats is at St. Michael.
The object of the improvement con
templated is to provide the smaller
boats a mpre protected navigation
hetween St. Michael and the mouth
of the Yukon river, about seventy
miles. C'apt. Pillsbury estimates that
a channel six feet deep and 100 feet
wide can he secured through St. Mi
chael canal at a cost of $248,000.
—Prof. Georgenson, special agent in
charge of Alaska agricultural experi
ment stations, states, in a letter to
tho Juneau Dispatch, that at the
Copper Station thirty acres of grain
which did not mature last season was
made into hay, which was sold for
$4152.00. Now, if lie will tell the
public the price per ton at which the
hay was sold it will be much easier to
iorm a conclusion as to the productive
ness of tlip spil jn immediate sec
tion. Hay may not always be worth
$500 a ton, even in the interior ol
Alaska. Nevertheless, the prof, has
amply demonstrated the • fact that
money can be made in farming in cer
tain sections of Alaska, for the pur
pose of supplying the heme market if
nothing more,
—The Douglas News says that
though the game animals of Alaska
are now protected, in a measure,
against the soulless devils who kill for
sport, Congressman Humphrey has in
trouced a bill providing that they may
be slaughtered by the. game hog who
pays hunter’s license of $150. Ol
course the license money so paid will
accrue to the federal treasury, as do
all license and occupation taxes col
lected outside incorporated towns.
Under a territorial or. other form
of popular home government the li
censes that jpight ho collected from
foreign hunters of our big game,
would as is the case in the State of
Maine, constitute a very consider
able revenue, . ■ •<:•
—One man in Nome shamelessly con
fessed a few weeks ago that lip-was in
the employ of a corporation ’and that
he had, during the month preceding.,
staked 51 association blocks of ground
in the Cape Nome precinct, embrac
ing over 8,000 acres. These were
staked over individual claims which
had been owned and worked for the
past live or six years by bona fide, con
scientious miners, Upon such disrep
utable and wholly reprehensible- pro
ceedings does the luw of injunction
feed in the Nome and Fairbanks dis
trict. It is little wonder under the
circumstances that the honest miners
preferred one of their own to repre
sent them in Congress?
—How is this for burdensome taxa
tion, etc.? According to the reports of
their respective governorsj the terri
torial tax levy in New Mexico for 1900
was 14 mills, l’.tTper cent on a valuation
of one-fifth the actual cash value of
the property assessed ; that of Arizona,
1.3 per cent. Considering that the
official rosters of these territories are
large as those of ^ sovereign state, the
figure? quoted
ation as a' concern) taut of
organization in- Alaska. ' ' ^ i .
—It i3 reported from Washington
that Gov. Hoggatt has abandoned his
suggestion of a commission to revise
the Alaska code, mdved thereto by the
advice of Speaker Cannon and leading
members of Congress. If tho governor
can he made to realize the fact that
the people of Alaska have a represen
tative oJ their own selection in Con
gress, the further fact may dawn upon
him that lie has at this time no legiti
mate official business at the national
capital.
—A Nome paper states that Judge
Moore is just taking things easy, a
Fairbanks paper says Judge Wicker
sam lias gbne hunting, and Judge Gun
nison is off on a pleasure trip to New
York. Yet'there can he no doubt
that the Federal judges of Alaska are
ovreworked—Douglas News.
And of course another division is
necessary together with a fifth judge
to “spell’’ the other four in the dis
charge of their arduous duties.
—The question of increasing the pay
of Senators and members of the house
of representatives is still on tap in
both the Senate and house. Yes, well
there are senators and senators, mem
bers and members; some are worth
the full amount of the propose increase
—others are of little value either to
the country or their constituents.
—Ben Tillman has been re-elected
to the U, S. Senate by the almost
unanimous vote of the state legislature.
Notwithstanding his versatility in the
several effective uses of the prover
bial pitchfhrk, Bejamin is popular
with his fellow senators, none of whom
question the honesty and sincerity of
his motives and convictions.
—That’s not the right name for it.
Congressman Adams, of Philadelphia,
who ended his earthly career by kill
ing himself at Washington last winter
has just been declared by the or
phans court of the City of Brotherly
Love to have been a defaulter to the
extent of $70,000, appropriated to his
own use from his father's estate, of
which he was one of the executors.
The poor man who purloins a loaf of
bread is usually denominated a thief—
the man who deliberately steals thou
sans is only a defaulter.
—“Football, ” says a Michigan
paper, will receive a blow if Congress
legislates the Carlisle Indian School
out of existence.” And it might have
said with equal truth, so will the graft
ers who persist in prolonging its prac
itically useless existence.
—No question involving the well
fare of any considerable community
of Americans is ever settled until
lettled right—And the question of pcfk
i
ular home government for Alaska will
not down until it is finally so settled.
—The Wrangell Sentinel says the
claim that territorial government
would be too expensive is “a coward's
plea.” Yes, well there are luxuries
as well as comforts that are sometimes
found too expensive for those who
would like to have them: but the anti
territorialists have yet to show where
in home rule, would be more expensive.
than the long distance government
Alaskans now have. It is not a plea—
merely a whim, like unto that of the
bound who licks the hand of the mas
ter who beats him.
—Delegate Waskey’s bill providing
for the removal of the $100 per mile
tax on railroads in Alaska has been
reported on favorably by the commit
tee on the territories. In that con
nection a Washington correspondent
says that the removal of this tax will
lie an impediment' to any other pro
posed assistance to Alaska railroads
from tho government. Well, Alaska
can afford to be thankful for even
small favors. If congress will not
assist in building railroads in Alaska
we should be thankful to that body if
it will refrain from taxing those built
bv private gjiftjrur.Ue., at least until
they begin to earn something for
their owners,
—Another adventuresome chap pro
poses to reacli the North pole by the
yet to be discovered balloon route.
He is a Milwaukee pian, who probably
wont be satisfied till bo joins Andree,
the man who tried the same route
some years ago and never came back.
.—And now that he has been re
elected Senator, Mr. Joseph W.
Bailey, of Texas, is accused of having
employed the most corrupt and im
moral means to accomplish the result.
It isn’t safe, however, to believe all
you read in the partisan papers, espe
cially those of the yellow persuasion.
Tiie mere fact of such charges being
made against him will, however, be a
shock to the gallery gods and goddesses
Lo whom JosojJ, has been wont to
■|Kise, first in the House and after
wards in the Senate for the past dozen
years or more,
—A Juneau paper, in the beginning
of a leading editorial* very lucidly
says:—“The forecast of 1907, on the
whole, is to be deplored on account of
the approach of Mars to our earth,
the astronomical oeeuring once in
every revolution, notably its greatest
occurrences are during the intersec
tion of the earth between the sun and
Mars, recurring every fifteen years:
this to planet, at this period, is said
to be in its peregee of evil tendency.”
Why, and if not why, wherefore:*
—The Skagway Daily Alaskan ent
ered upon the tenth year of its-exist
ence on tiie 1st inst, It lias always
been a wonder how its publishers were
able to furnish its readers so good a
paper, but its editor gives the expla
nation in its own words:—“The Daily
Alaskan would .not be alive to boast of
this record if it had not received the
generous support of Skagway men and
women—Skagway men and women,
at jpg, the tryefit, the.
TTsTta^or tiny other
.■ss them! Likewise,
can had not striven
-the people, to give
jwspapar as its reve
t, to support truth
and justice as i* saw them, it would
not be dancing on the graves of its
-former contemporaries today.” .All
of which is to he point—a record of
the “survival of'the fittest” not only
—but a just tribute to a people whose
faith in the future of their town is
worthy of all praise and commenda
tion.
—The report of the chief of bureau
of statistics, department of commerce
and labor, for the month of Novem
ber, 190(i, shows the commerce be
tween the IJnitf d States and its non
contiguous’territories for tliat and-the
preceding ten numths to have been as
follows: I
Hawaii.'.$40,090,294
Porto Rico..38,733,093
Philippine Islands.. .15,785,323
Alaska, including gold.42,884,949
^On the other hand the report of the
Collector of Alaska, for the entire
year 1906, places the total of domestic
commerce between the States and
Alaska at $49,407,227, while the for
eign shipments tij and from Alaska
were $2,053,107—making a grand total
of $51,400,334, and showing that the
commerce of Alaska leads that of the
next highest noncontiguous possession
by not far from ten millions.

ROOMS) WARMED WITHOUT FIRE
A new innovation calculated to
make the owner and homemaker
smile with gladness, hut which
wouldn’t work very well just now in
any part of Alaska, is described by
Mr, F, <’, Perkins in the February
number of the Technical World Maga
zine. Imagine rugs, carpets and com
forters so heated by electricity ns to
warm the rooms in which they are
used, and then imagine the effect of
such up innovation in your own home
—on your own housekeeping. Think
of a dustless, odorless, noiseless heat
ing system in your home, which pre
serves an even temperature, makes no
trouble, requires practically nq care,
and which not only bu.nishes stoves,
radiators, register# and all such cum
brous, vupiiglith- things, but hides the
very presepcq of its own mediums of
radium, in the heart of some beauti
fully decorative fabric. It seems like
the perfection of devices for satis
factory heating, “The advantages of
this.new system,” says Mr. Perkins,
“are-many. It cun be used whereever
incandescent lights are in use. There
is no smoke, no combustion, no gas
eous by-products are thrown off; it
creates neither dust nor qd.or,; requires
neither fuel, reservoir nor .special ap
paratus. It does not consume oxygen
from the air and, spread out flat on
the lloor, one of the thermopile rugs,
for instance, furnishes a mild, steady
and permanent source of heat, evenly
distributed over a very large surface.
The feet of persons occupying a room
heated in this way will . always be
warm and their heads cool.” Ideal
combination! But it is reasonable,
and as an invention sure to find favor.
It is worth knowing about.
