SKAGWAV SUBSCRIBES TO LI
BERTY LOAN
Vfha?. Joes it mean when Skag
»ay suoscribes $35,500 to the Sec
ond Liberty Loan?
An average of $5u have been
Joaaed to our government by every
person ia Skagway, every child,
jojth, man ami woman.
The government is not forced to
get ii3 money by the Liberty
Loan plan. There are other ways,
taxes could De imposed.
I he Liberty Loan Is a mark of
patriotism, it shows that every
ptrson old euough to think is back
or the government, back of the
l uited .States iu its fight to down
autocracy.
It has been said that Skagway is
lacking in patriotism that we
ts^ould have had spceial patriotic
meetings and should have made
"spread eagle" efforts to secure the
^ale of Liberty Bonds. Figures
speak louder than words, and we
doubt if a larger sum would have
heen. loaned our government had
tha method been used. Instead,
a few business men did personal
work and every one capable of
subscribing to the loan was seen
and told personally of the plan.
All Alaska will be found to be
patriotic, and Skagway will be far
from the last on the list.
BON DS, COUPON AND
KEGISTKRED
Technically a bond is a promise
to pay. A person buys a bond;
that is, he lends his money to an
organization and in return he re
ceives an engraved payer receipt
called * bond. A part of this bond
tx-ari the terms of the loan. It
states that $50, 4100, $f00, $1,000
or more has been borrowed from th
buyer of the bond for a stated uer
iod oT years at a, certain rate of
interest to be paid on dates stated
in. th» bond. The interest is usual
lv oaid twice a year. Attached to
»hB bond are the coupons. These
reorejent the interest. Beginning
with the first date on which in
terest la due, these bear the date
aiid the amount of money to be
paid It the bond was issued June
15, 1917, for $100, at 3>^ per cent,
the first coupon would state that
ou December 15, 1917, $1.75 would
be paid to the bearer. This cou
i)oo could be deposited or cashed at
any baric.
ii a puna icsujLcicu mc v....
er receives a receipt for his mon
ey, the bond is held by the org^niza
tlo*' issuing it, and the intreest is
paid tc the owner by cheefc. Cou
pon bonds are payable to bearer
and should be kept in a safe de
posit bcx because they are almost
the same as cash. The registering
of a bend relieves the owner of
the responsibility of taking care
of It, though he must take care of
tbf receigt. .
ALASKA SHIPS
TAKEN 6111.S.
Many reports have been received
in Skagway and other coast cities
regarding the commandeering by
thfl government of Alaska vessels
for < verseus service. From the
Se'UtU I'ost intelligencer of Tues
day, October 16, we learn that ten
of the Alaska Steamship company's
vessels were taken over including
the Alameda, Victoria, Mariposa,
Northwestern, Alaska, and the
freighter Juneau, Latouche, Ketchi
kan, Valdez and Cordova. It is
thought the Skagway will also be
taken. This leaves the Alaska S.
S. Co. wit'' six vessels.
Shins requisitioned from the Pa
cific S. S. Co., but operating from
Washington to California are the
liners Governor, President, I'ma
i illt and Queen.
It is understood that the only
vessels operating to Alaska which
will immediately be us oil by the
government are the larger freight
ers, tut that the passenger ships
will remain us they are now until
sucn 'i time as the government is
desoenitely in need of ships .
HIS HIA KF CALLED
Chicago,—Albert Fuchs, who re
ctiitly offered $1,000 for each prov
en c^se ot mutilation of a prisoner
by a German soldier an# said he
had $1,500,000 to back him up, was
yesterday hauled before the board
of review to explain >vhy he was
rated at only $1,150 in personal
oroperty taxes.
Kucha said liis fortune consisted
of real estate otherwise taxed val
ued at $1,000,000 less mortgages
and aggregating $600,000. An Eng
lishman with a mutilated hand the
other day claimed the reward,
whereupon Fuchs said that of four
judges whom he said must consider
j the merits of the case, two must
be German officers, and that it
must be shown that the mutilation
vr:3 by order of a German officer.
