STIMULATION
There are limitations to which a government may go
in providing stimulants to business and industry with
out running off the track and winding up in a morass.
If a tariff is necessary to encourage a manufactur
ing enterprise, ana subsidies justified by the urgency of
progress, discrimination in favor of a commodity which
has no competitive market, but is the most vital necessity
of commerce, has its even more justifiable claim.
This commodity is gold, and it is among the things j
receiving the least attention in its relation to the national:
weal despite its dominating importance.
As pointed out by Dr. Charles E. Bunnell, president
of the Alaska College, the government allows but 15 cents
per ton depletion in computing incomes derived from gold
mining, as against -jO cents per ton allowed by Canada.
Here some startling and humiliating figures creep ,
in when we compare Canada’s gold production with that
of Alaska. It is fives times that of the greatest gold-bear
ing region in the North American hemisphere—Alaska!
It requires no juggling with the nebulae of economics
to find the answer. All attention has been directed to
manufacturing and financial business and too little to
the more important element of natural resources. In this
we witness the plight of the farmer and producer of met
allic raw materials, among which gold is of primary im
portance.
As pointed out by Judge Bunnell, the leading thinker
and educator cf the Northland, the gold miner should be
allowed dollar for dollar for depletion. The product is in
destructible in its physical and material sense and once
cut of the hand of the producer is the sole current sub
stance which may pyramid its increment without increas
ing its volume. Here is thought wdiich will make Alaska
one great gold mine!
Here is an opportunity for Delegate-Elect Anthony
Dimond when he goes to Washington, to accomplish more
in one stroke then may be accomplished by some purely
political shift.
Late dispatches say that Siam has removed hundreds
of princelings from the government payrolls thereby go
ing a long ways towrarri reducing that country’s $20,000,
000 deficit. Hundreds of American “princelings” should
likewise be severed from the federal trough.
Now that Xmas is over one might say that every gift
given had a string attached.
Brazil jungle Indians eat dirt, it is said. Alaskans
have been eating Washington's dirt for years.

THE CALENDAR YEAR
In the year that ended Dec. 31
the Alaska Juneau Gold Mining
Company, continued its successful
career, showing a n estimated
operating profit, before depletion,
totaling $1,128,500, ahcording to an
announcement made by L. H. Metz
gar. general superintendent.
This was the second greatest net
ever achieved by the company from 1
its great Juneau property, and was,
exceeded only by the returns from J
| 1931 when approximately $1,400,000:
was reported.
Its potency as a factor in the j
communitys prosperity was indi- '
cated by the fact that its local ex- j
penditures last year were $1,809.-!
000, a few thousand less than in j
1931. Of the total, the payroll got!
the lion's share with $1,292,000, or
$22,000 less than in 1931 when av
erage recovery values were higher.!
On the payroll were carried an av- ;
erage daily list of 663 employes i
which was two less than the aver- j
age for the previous record-break
ing 12 monhts.
Capt H. D. Hinckley, commander
of the Northwestern division of the
Coast Gaurd, with headquarters in j
Seattle, announces that the cutter
bases of the guard maintained at j
Port Angeles and Anacortes will be
moved to Port Townsend effect-:
ive March 1. The transfer is being J
made in economy interest and |
will save approximately $50.00 a!
year.
Effective January 15 the Coast
Guard will take over the 15 lifesav
ing stations on the Washington
and Oregon coasts. The change is
the result of a reorganization of the
service whereby the entire United
States seaboard is divided into four
■ main areas, the eastern, southern.'
I central and western. The latter :
j area comprises the Pacific Coast
| from Mexico to Alaska. The North- ;
, western division, as before, extends
from the California line to Alaska.

Seward residents were awed and :
bewildered yet charmed by the ex- |
traordinary and marvelous mani
festations visible in the heavens
last night when that mysterious
celestial body, the moon, revealed
itself in a new mood.
The phenomea appeared to be a j
great funnel in the sky, with cir
cular rainbows leading through to
the face of the moon. The hues
were brilliant for a time, then
gradualyl faded into the general
void, hut the moon beams contin
ued to speed earthward in a daz
zling glow, eventually to blend with
the darkness.
