FOR LOWER SURTAX
Secretary of the Treasury, in his proposal for a reduction of the Sur
tax on Incomes from 50 per cent, which It Is now, to 25 percent will have
rrdent sympathizers on the part of those whose taxes will be reduced by
cui-b action on the part of Congress. But if the matter should come to a
vote of the epople they would overwhelmingly demand that these who are
eminently able tu bear their share—and they are doing no more than t!iat
—bear it and pay the proportion.
THE IRISH FREE STATE
There is a general gratification at the outcome of the long negotia
tions and much fighting over the settlement of affairs In Ireland. Now
that the Free State has been launched, it is devoutly to be hoped that the
trouble over Ireland is well nigh at an end. Britain has conceeded much
and will undoubtedly be a willing and htartv cooperator in every move
that nmkes for the good of the new State. There are good hopes that the
new State has siarted on a successful career. Cosgrove appears to be an
able and strong leader and DeValera has. without doubt, lost in prestige
and influence. Long l.ve the Irish Free State!
THE SIB-PORT OF SEWARI)
The report that President Harding, by executive order, has created
Seward a sub-port, is good news for our citizens. Seward has long been
handicapped by having no port of entry on clearauce, vessels from foreign
ports having suffered much inconvenience in the past.
Much of the credit for securing this prize must go to Senator E. E.
Chamberlain. J. C. Mi-Bride and the Commercial Club, who have been
working quietly to bring about this desired end.
It is rumored here that the new office will be opened in the Federal
building about January 1, and that the plum will go to a man now sta
tioned at the Westward. The new order will benefit Seward in many
ways.—Seward Gateway.
AID GIVEN TO PROSPECTORS
The Bureau of Mines, at its experiment station at Fairbanks, Alaska,
is endeavoring to assist in the mineral development of Alaska by encour
aging prospectors to send to the station samples which may be thought to
contain metallic value. These samples are examined and the prospectors
informed as to what they are and whether they contain metallic or other
values to justify their being assayed or analyzed. If those submitting the
samples have an assay of an analysis made, a charge is made for the work,
us tt is the policy of the Bureau of Mines not to do work which can be done
by a commercial assayer, chemist, or engineer. In other words a policy not
generally pursued at the Bureau's various experiment stations has been
adopted In Alaska largely because of the great difficulty experienced by
prospectors in having assays and analytical work performed. The moneys
received are turned over to the Treasures of the United States to the credit
of miscellaneous receipts.
Since the establishment of the experiment station at Fairbanks, there
have been made the following determinations either as custom assays of
In connection with investigations or official work: Gold and silver, 17S3;
platinum SO (total fusions 4524. cupollctions 2154); all other determina
tions. 725. Nearly 1.600 mineral samples have been submitted to the
station for ^identification and qualitative tests. John A. Davis is Su
perintendent of the Alaska experiment station.—Nenana News.
Pertinent Questions Asked by Opponents of
"Equal Rights" Amendment
By MATTHEW WOLL, V. P., American Federation of Labor.
HIS J ihcSiyiSiSdb ^ cSlb
Here are soma pertinent questions that are being asked by the oppo
cents of the proposed "equal rights'' amendment to the federal con
stitution.
In several states the law recognizes the right of the husband as head
of the family to say where the residence of the family shall be. Would
there be a possibility of one family having two It-gal residences? Thei
there is the question of the family name. Suppose the wife did no
haj'pen to like the name of the man she married and preferred to keel
her own. What name would the children bear? Again, it has been sug
gested that the granting of equal rights implies equality of obligation
ami duties. At the present time a husband may be sued for failure t<.
support the family. If the wife is to be placed upon a basis of absolute
legal equality, is she to a*sume a like responsibility?
The executive council of the federation is opposing the "equal rights"
amendment because of « fear that many of the rights now enjoyed by
women in industry would be imperiled by legal interpretations that might
be placed upon the law,

Back Home After
Interesting Trip
Frank P. Douglas, who passed
through Skagway on his way to yaw
sou, gave an interview to au Alas
kan representative wmle he was en
route from Loudon to Dawson, the
latter his homo towu. Mr. Douglas
is an old timer in the Duwson coun
try, tho a young man having been In
there since 1903 and is well known
to all the people la and about tho
creeks. He is one of the staff of
tho Dally News of Dawson when In
towu and has an elastic commission
by which he sends ui uew9 from any
part of the globe iu which be hap
pens to be traveling. Just receutl>
he came from London, where he
makes his headquarters, being there
associated with Lieutenant Colonsi
J. w. Boyle, D. s. o., who is well
and favorably known throughout the
Yukon and Canada and in many
parts of the states.
Mr. Douglas has had an interest
ing experience since the signing of
the armistice. Just now, he is go
ing home after a long absence and
expects to spend Christinas with his
people In Dawson. His father, Rob
ert Douglas, came into the country
la 1908, and has been presently en-,
gaged iu mining In Mayo.
After the armistice was signed.
Mr. Douglas was made secretary of
the Canadian Commission to Ruma
nia. This Commission has as its
mission the business of looking af
ter the manner iu which the Ruma
niaus were using the $25,000,000
credit, which Cauada granted that
country. It will be recalled that
when the Germans left Rumania at
the close of the war, they took with
them all that it was possible for
them to take, in the way of livestock
farming implements, railroal rolling ;
stock, and other tools from the sec
I tion iu which their forces had won
I over the Rumanians. This depleted
the resources of the country and
made it impossible for the natives
to return to their toil. It was to
supply these necessary things that
the credits were procured in Cana-1
The Canadian Commission was
'vithdrawn in September 1919. About j
that time, the British Red Cross So
ciety from its store of supplies, do-1
nuted shiploads of Red Cross ma- {
torials to Rumania. This was given
directly to the Queen of Rumania, by
| the Red Cross. She thereupon gave |
I Colonel Boyle a commission, with
full power for the distribution of
i these four thousand cases of sup
I plies. Mr. Douglas, as secretary to
I Colonel Boyle, was with him during
I'all the work of this distribution,
which was completed in June, 1921. j
I As a climax iu his experience, he was
decorated by the Queen in person,
I with the Order of Regina Maria, an
I order created by the Queen for those
| who had performed service for her
(people. Later, the Qi<#en gave to Mr.
I Douglas a wrist watch, which he
I prizes very highly.
| During their stay in Rumania.
(Col. Boyle, accompanied by Douglas.
I made a trip into the Crimea, at the
lime General Wrangell was being so
hard pressed b> ttie Bolsheviks. They
arrived at the front in time to see the
| retreat and evacuation of the Cri
mea, on Nevember 11. They per
sonally witnessed the entrance of
nearly 140,000 people, who left the
Crimen and came into Constantin
ople.
They were present at the confer
ence in Genoa, and spent a short
time at the conference at The Hague,
which broke up after a short ses
sion.
Since June. 1921, Mr. Douglas has
been with Colonel Boyle in London,
their headquarters, but has made
trips to the oil fields in the Near
East, they were at Batum and Tiflis,
shortly after the Bolsheviki had na
tionalized those fields, having gone
there in the interests of private con
cerns, whose property had been tak
en over by the Soviets but their ne
gotiations with the officials were not
as successful as they desired, but
these are still being carried on.
Mr. Douglas declares there is j
great quantities of oil In that sec
tion of country and the private com
panies owning the property before
the Soviets came in are in hopes of
getting back their former possess
sions.
He expects to make a stay in Daw
son after which he will return to
London, where he makes his head
quarters.

Harder'en Ever
Juneau. Alaska, Dec. 6.—A pro
yam of more concsrted cooperation
between federal offislals and local
snforrement agencies Is planned for
tho coming year, Tcderal Prohibi
tion Comcissioner R. A. Haynea ad
rises Director John B. Marshall of
this territory.
Suction 1 of the enforcement act
iivides the responsibility between
the government and the states. Prac
tically all of the states have enacted
legislation to this end and the vsri
3us state agencies report Increasing
jvidence of cooperation.
Commissioner Hayncc states that
every state, county and city has the
initial responsibility of cleaning up
Its own conditions tnrough locally
selected officials, before the federal
machinery should be expected to
lake charge. Hence, the necessity
of close cooperation between the
states and federal ogencies.
Director Marshall la greatly pleas
ed with the progress that has been
made In enforcement in Alaska, and
is more optimistic in regard to the
future, in view of che spirit of co
operation, In evidence practically
everywhere. More and more is the
public becoming convinced that the
success of enforcement lies as much
with the people themselves as with
the officers who are disignated to en
force the law. In spite of obstacles
and many complications, prohibition
is showing itself as a means of pro
nounced public betterment, of im
proved living conditions, and health
ier.happier human beings. T!:ere is
evidence everywhere of marked prog
ress in the way of enforcement.
This is not the time to be impa
tient, nor discouraged, for tlx
friends of the law are truly in ac
tion. as shown bv reports whlcli
Commissioner Havncs has received
from various states, justifying the
optimism which he entertains.
Reducing the source of suppl.v
through concentration, in Commis
sioner Haynes" opinion, will a d ma
teriaily in enforcement and alsc
make for economy, for, as he says
economy has been t. e watchword oi
the administration. Concentratioi
of boned whiskey in a smaller uum
ber of bonded warehouses will re
sult in the saving of at least $300,
000 per annum. A saving of $250.
000 has been effected through re
ductions secured in rental of offic«
and storage space and the disposi
tion of seized property. A furthei
saving of $156,900 annually has
been effected by the readjusting ol
salaries.
Referring to the cry that prohibi
tion is a "Failure," Commissionei
Haynes 9ays that, '.n hn j'j(l?m.-nt
one of the most remarkable successes
ever attained in the enforcement ol
a new and drastic inw nas been re
corded in the present status of en
forcement of the National Prohibi
tion Act.
A complete reorganization has
been effected in the lest fifteer
months. Fifty-one director.-.' office;
have been established In each state
and Hawaii, Porto Rico and Alaska
These complete changes In the reor
ganization of the worn have result
ed in the elimination of duplication
of work and a greater efficiency. Ex
perienced men of undoubted integri
ty have been called Into service. Thf
Washington office of over 600 em
ployes, and all of the Field forces
Lave been enthused with the great
ness of the task. Thirty-two hund
red and one temporary and perma
nent appointments have been made
during this fifteen-month period.

ing independent of Oirectors' forces
To date this force has reported 3,
231 cases, and recommended taxef
In the amount of $24,824.62.
