ersen; Treasurer, B. A. Ross; Re

B. A. Rosa, auditor of the Bank
of Alaska, spoke on "Financing the
War" and stated that Skagway
had suoscribed about $52.50 for
e?ch persom in the city on the
Second Liberty Loan, the average
bond purchased from the head
quarters ba.uk, of the Bank of Alas
ka being $240. Mr. Ross stated
th« resources of the United States
are two hundred fifty billions of
dollars, and the aet income of that
is 'if'y billions of dollars, or 2i>
uereen* of the total resources. Of
our income, the government has
asked for between 19 and 20 "bil
lions for 1918 war needs. Thisi
amounts to about 40 percent of
t' e 50 billion dollars income of the
■Urited States, which is backed by
our resources of 250 billions.
Canada's last Victor?- loan was
for 150 million dollars, and per
cent subscribed per capita was
$58, according to Mr. Ross. Skag
way compares fvaorably with this
amount, having subscribed $52.50
per capita. The average subscrip
tion in Canada "was $517. Should
the whole United States do as well
as Canadaf the next Liberty Loan
would bring between six and sev
en billion dollars.
The third Liberty Loan has
been tentatively set for Apiril 6.
