BONDS FOR THE PEOPLE.
Did you note thill, in the Poin
dexter 'proposition for develop
ment of Alaska, Uncle Sam is
given a chance to interest the
small investor? Bonds are to he
issued in denominations of $20.
This means that every person
who saves $20 a month, or a
year, can become a stockholedr
in a great national coal company,
without the slightest risk of loss
and with a dividend (interest:
coming regularly, without fail.
It is something in the way of a
departure, and may signify the
initiative in a tremendous change
in national financial policy.
Heretofore, Uncle Sam has re
lied upon borrowing money,
through bonds, from the banks
and other concentrations of cap
ital and even offered special in
ducements to attract the loans.
Under this proposed plan, Uncle
goes right to the people. Since
banks are creatures of Uncle’s
creation and subsist on the peo
ple’s money, it is remarkable that
he has not done this long ago,
but he is fast awakening to the
fact that he can do his own
business better and more safely
than the concerns to whom he
has been relegating it.
No bank has sounder security
than United Stales bonds, but we
have recently seen an attack on
United Slates bonds by private
capital organized in Wall street,
in which valuation of certain 2
per cent bonds was lowered. This
was possible because a cliipie
held the greater part of the
bonds. They held them simply
because they were issued in large
denomination and only organiz
ations could buy them. Such
things would not be possible if
the bonds were held by the people
at large, for, you know, bonds are
merely the people’s. pivmiise to
pay, and people do not lower their
own credit.
Some, miinicipalit ies—follow
ing St. Paul’s example—have al
ready tried this plan of issuing
bonds of low denomination. Peo
ple are learning that a bond
which all the property in a com
munity backs is the safest in
vestment on earth. Communities
don’t “bust,” nobody runs away
with a community, and the di
rectors and stockholders in a
community are the people I hem
selves.
Hill there is another good ma
ture about (his new rpopositiun.
It brings (be people and their
governmenl closer together. The
follow with a $2(1 United States
bond is going to feel that he is a
part of the United Slates, and he
is apt to take a higher thinking
part in what the United States
does. It tends toward a strong
er democracy.
Just now the country is think
ing that I, Iv tar ill’ and currency
reform are the greatest issues,
arid they are, but what will these
issues be when the conflict comes
as to whether Uncle Sam shall
or shall not continue paying the
money-loaners for doing his bus
iness for him? We think we
have se.en great combinations of
the interests to oppose progres
sive legislation. Wait for the big
circus. Wait for the combina
tion against Uncle Sam’s doing
his own banking and investment
business to facilitate his build
ing of his canals, his irrigation
work's, and his railroads and
steamships. jThe line bijtween
the privileged and the masses on
this issue is going to he as vis
ible to the naked eye as the Grand
canyon of the Colorado, and no
easier to cross.

HAS GOOD PACK
captain Blodgett Secures Full
Pack in Spite of Adverse
Conditions.
The Kodiak Fisheries company
of Kodiak, has completed its'sum
mer pack of 21,000 cases of sal
mon, the pack having been tin
ished on August 25th, and will be
shipped out on the Sampson to
Seattle.
lb it. Blodgett, superintendent
of the cannery, is proud of his
achievement, having made a full
pack in spite of the bad season
for fish and his company is one
of the few westward fishing com
panies that will have a full pack.
Considerable rivalry has al
ways existed between the Kodiak
cannery and the Seldovia outfit,
managed by Captain Whorf, and
it was the boast off Captain
Whorf that he would pack at least
15,000 more cases this year than
the Kodiak cannery. The Sel
dovia cannery has not been heard
from as yet, but the Kodiak peo
ple are sure that he not only will
not pack 15,000 more cases, but
will not pack as many cases as
they did this season.
The Kodiak cannery was great
ly handicapped last year because
of the eruption of Mt. Kalmai,
which came early in the season
and drove the lish away, the wa
ters for hundreds of miles be
ing made milky by the powdered
pumice and the oc^ean covered
with lloating pieces of pumice,
some as large as a soap box.
