true .
T."e Senate convened and after

proved. Senator Sutherland Intro

Si ess iefu&e to pags the Alexander
bill, wnich would take from the

HIGH WAGES HAMPERS
MINING OPERATION'S
Continued from Page l
a fair interest on the millions of
dollars invested. Now, with. the
abnormal prices existing in the
Uni*3d States on everything except
Fold, it is difficult *o believe that
^hey can pay. It is certain that
th ; companies cannot see their way
clear to meet the high, wages paid
ty ihe copper and iron mines in
the Stages, hence the departure of
miners and their families l>y the
hunch oV for more lucrative fields.
Also, the sudden, activities in
shi.'buL'ding oa the Pacific Coast
£u.d the liigh wages paid at the
ship yards have called many me
chanics away from Gastineau Chan
However, Juneau is looking to
tie *uture with, an absolute belief
fa her permanency, steady grwoth
and development,
"Many people ask why the Al
eska-Juneau stock is Bteadily de
clining. I* ig simply because the
investors expect returns on their
ra«'.nt!y before the mine has com
enced *c produce. This compan/
h?s just completed its big mill and
every be dy who is acquainted with
conditions is coavinced that this
gtocs will sooa advance to the an
ticipates value.
"Polhicaliy, Juneau is not quiet,"
continued Mr. Britt, when ques
itoned en that point, "but is a reg
ular hotbed at the present," he
said.. "The excitement over the
outcome of the delegate election
has not yet died out. Personally,
I believg that Judge Jennings has

the bes' thing that could happen to
us uoltUcally. Alaska is develop
ing fast, nowadays, and Jve need
more power and rights at home and
need them quickly, a-id I believe
l^r. Sulzer has the will, ability and
tenacity to get them for us. It
is deplorable that some of our
good Alaskans etb such poor losers
that th"y resort to ail kinds of
loose and unfounded talk in order
to discredi' a party which did the
best in its power to benefit us all
and tc promote Alaska.
"I believe that the "washing of
dirty linen" which is now going on,
iu cur Territorial Senate "will pay
the washerwoman poor wages. The
present legislature can accomplish
little in constructive legislation, hs
its rower is so limited by the num
erous provisos in our organic act.
"The revenue law adopted two
years ago will probably not be tem
pered with this season. Every mem
ber geems willing to go as far as
tho Territory can afford to reim
burse thp incorporated towns for the
lo. s of money; from liquor licenses
and I hope they can see their way
clear lo give such towns seventy-five
per cent, of thg amount the liquor
licen es brought to municipal treas
uries for school purposes.
"T,,» bill introduced l>y me for
a vciform school system will pass
and become effective, as Congress
has just passed a bill authorizing
our legislature to regulate school
matters.
"Senator Heckman's bill for the
establishment of three salmon
hatcheries in Southeastern Alaska is
a good one and should pass.
"The Aldrich "Doctor bill" Is now
occupy inp most of the Senate's time.
I am afraid it will have rough sled
ding. Of course the session is
just in lis beginning and many mat
ters, both good and poor, will un
dou1 tedly comg up before both
house?." , . | | jj
