UNMITIGATED GALL OF THE FRENCH
You’ve got to hand it to the French for pure un
adulterated gall. Among the latest proposals of the wel
chers is that, immediately after the prohibition amend
ment is repealed, Seattle enter into an agreement where
by canned salmon will be exchanged for French wines.
The final repeal of the prohibition law is as yet a
remote possibility, whatever might be done respecting
modification with respect to beer and wines.
Then there are our own California wineries to con
sider. It is not likely that any Congress would permit
France to take advantage of American markets while
at tne same time repudiating honest debts owed the
United States. '
It so turns out that France has a preferential agree
ment with Japan for admission of canned salmon that
virtually excludes like product from America.

missioner. Indicating that the pond has been about drain

STRIPPING THE RED MAN
“Verily to him that hath, it shall j
be given; to him that hath not, j
it shall be taken away.”
Somebody has placed a literal,
interpretaton upon this cypt.c |
Scriptural passage.
Each year > the territorial tax:
collector makes the rounds of the J
Bristol Bay canneries and along j
the Alaska Peninsula, where the
canneries deduct $5.00 from every j
native employed, and which is sup-;
posed to go into the school fund, j
Why is it that these wards of j
the government in many instances, i
and in others, are not beneficiaries I
of the territorial public school sys- j
tern, thus mulcted?
It is stated on good authority j
that these natives last season did,
not make enough money during
not make enough money to carry ;
them over to the trapping season.'
Again these people are compelled
to pay a trapping tax after a great i
nation has usurped their trapping
ground giving nothing in return
save uprooting them from their
accustomed mode of living and re
ducing them to pauperism by tak
ing ’their fishing and trapping
grounds and giving them to the
white man.
Much has been said about hun
gry mouths in Alaska. As regards
conditions imposed by individual
Alaskans this is true. But it can
not be said of the natives of the j
Westward who find themselves un
able to support life on their natur-1
al calling and in addition are
compelled to give up the scant1
earnings to a school fund of which j
they are not the beneficiary.
There is one advantage in thej
barter system, it's cheaper than;
jivcrce courts.

It’s getting so you can't believe
rnybody. Here one economist tells
