I was not president of the Mine Own

lished by George Dooley was issued.
My term of office ended September
1st, 1907, when I resigned.
While I was president of the Mine
Owners’ Association it issued no such ord
ers, nor did it discriminate in any way
against union labor. The operators belong
ing to the organization at that time were
paying $6.00 per day instead of $5.00, as
mentioned in the letter published by Mr.
Dooley.

CORDOVA. Nov. 2.—Jas. Wicker
sham is still here, and his movements
for the immediate future are un
known. He appears to have ahan- j

the belief that Sulzer will carry the ■
territory. Among the Wickersham- j

pessimistic, and it is admitted thut he
will not carry this towji at the com-;
ing election.
In Democratic circles it is believed '
that Sulzer will get a good plurality
here. Owing to his attempted dicker
with the Republicans the Delegate
has lost a number of his strongest
supporters in Cordova and men who
have for years voted for the Delegate :
will this year cast their vote for Sul

Where We Can
Get Those $4,000
The Valdez Prospector of October
30, In an article entitled "Facts Not
Figures" asks what Is going to hap
pen to Valdez If It goes dry? And
how are we going to take care of our
schools without the $4000 of head
ache money which we dignify some
what by naming license revenue.
The Prospector says, "we are taxcJ
to the hilt now," and it Is no doubt
true, and only goes to prove thst we
are on the wrong track. In fact we
learn from the states that the more
saloons a town has the harder time
It has to finance its way and provide
for its schools.
Valdez and other Alaska towns dif
fer from towns in the States for the
reason that in Alaska the Federal gov
ernment pays all expenses for trying
crimes committed by the use of In
toxicating liquors. If Alaska had to
foot the bill it would have to tax the
industries of the Territory for the li
quor license money does not prove i
sufficient In any town or state for any j
length of time.
We do not agree with the Prospec
tor when it says, "There is no other
apparent source to raise revenue
from.” There are other sources. The
Alaska treasury has about $760,000
on hand now and this amount can be
greatly increased by making the tax
general so as to cover the output of
mines, fisheries, fur seals, whaling,
forests, etc., all of which by right
should pay taxes for the benefit of
the schools of the Territory.
We believe that the schools are a
real necessity and to establish saloons
in towns to induce men to spend their
money for poisonous drinks in order
that the town can get $4000 to help
finance the schools is a crime which
should not exist in any civilized com
munity. We believe that the schools
have the first right to a part of tho
$760,000 and there is where we ex
pect to get the $4000 and as much
more as is needed for good schools.
If the Alaska dry vote carries on
Nov. 7th it will not go into effect un
til January 1, 1918, and the legisla
ture that meets next March can easily
provide ways and means for school
money needed above what can be rair
ed locally. In using this means for
providing for our schools our legis
lature will be doing just what nine
teen dry states have been doing for (
some time with good results.
In fact, of the forty-eight states
there are only two willing to mention
liquor licenses as school revenue. The
other states have ^oog since learned ^
that money received by saloon licenses
does not pay for what it costs the|
town or state in crime.
No, Mr. Prospector, the $4000 you
seem so nervous about is not a moun
tain at all; it is a molehill and you
can pass over it easily without hurl
ing yourself. Adv.
