FACTS VERSUS TAXES
In his Alaska Day speech at Beattie recently, Falcon Joailn, for
mar Alaska promoter, declared that the salmon packing industry produced
|S4,000,000 worth of canned fteh this 'year. He also declared that th<
herring industry had Jumped from nothing to a pack of 130,000 barrels
worth $2,600,000 annually; and the halibut industry was worth 9600,
000,000 per year to the Territory.
To all of this Alaskans cheerfully subscribe, but. when the Terri
torial legislature attempted to tax these industries to a point where Terri
tonal resources would contribue a fair proportion to Territorial expenses
the howl that arose threatened to disrupt the assemblage. Here are in
duetrles aggregating $6,036,600,000, which tax at two per cent, the as
seseed valuation paid by resident Alaskans, should bring In a revenue t<
the Territory of $1,007,320.00, a sum which would be ample to meet al
expenditures and reduce taxes to residents to a minimum Instead th«
Territory gets about $760,000 and has to pry this loose with bigb-prlre<
fax collectors which absorbs five per cent of the sum collected
There is no reason why the industries of the Territory should not
pay it’s running expenses. When an attempt was made to tax the herring
industry 60 cents per barrel the legislators were forced to undergo a mass
of verbal statistics showing the industry was bankrupt and could pay nc
taxes whatever. Now their pack is worth $20 per barrel It might b<
well for each legislator to carry a copy of Mr. Falcon Joslin's speech tc
Jmeau with him aext session.—Seward Gateway.
ON MAKING MISTAKES
We made & mistake in last week's issue of the Sentinel A good
subscriber told ne about It. The wme day there was a letter in our
postoffice box that didn't belong to us. We called for Main 98 over the
telephone and we got Main 198. We asked for a spool of No 50 thread,
and when we got home we found that It was No. 60. The train was re
ported thirty minutes late. We arrived at the depot twenty minutes after
train time and the train had gone. We got our milk bill and there was
* mistake of ten cents in our favor. We felt sick and the doctor aaid we
were eating too much meat. We hadn't tasted meat for two months.
The garage man said the Jitney was missing because It needed a new
timer. We cleaned the spark plugs and it’s run fine ever since Yes.
we made a mistake ta last week’s issue of the paper.—Glen Elder (Kan)
