HOOD WISHES FOR DOIOEAS.
! The gcad wishes cf everybody who is familial
With Gaetint au Channel hi. ;cry will follow the r.c
iivlties of those pn.plo of Douglas who tire courage
Curly attempting to bring back the good old Maud
|ay: through the development cf another gold mine
which they believe 111'“ at their back door. Juneau'.
Interest, cf course, goes further, for she would profit
through : licit a development as is hoped for just as she
pro-fitted t'o long through the old Treadwell prop
erties.
The Douglas citizen® who are spending theii
money.and devoing their energy toward this (level
opment. In a ttuteincui circulated Iasi week, tell
tlinphkully and truthfully a story of intense in
terest to the: ■ who havi lived long and understand
ingly in this neck rf the wot I . The statement
among other thing.. • ays:
Those rf you who have been on Gasilneatl
Channel from the time of the early days of
tiic Treadwell operations, will readily con
cede that the tli eon ry and development of
the Treadwell min e was the real beginning
cf prt.i-pcrity on (I’stinrau Channel.
* When by rearm of the "cavi-in," that
company finally eras d cperalions on the
Immense scale which lead been prosecuted
for over thirty years, the business affairs of
the Channel received a staggering blow,
where once tho- impetus of the Treadwell
operations had caused all branches of busi
ness to enjoy prosperity.
» » » *
Dougins, which received the hardest
blow from the adverse conditions caused by
combined forces, tapldly reached a low ebb
in the affairs <l its history, and it seemed
only a qitcetk n of time when those who had
invested in property in Dougins would lose
their all and bo compelled to remove to
another place. But some ol the strong
licarted did not In ■ hope on account of the
tlireaUned calamity, and they ha themselves
t. the tmk of making every effort to bring
the town buck to its former prosperity and to
tlie conditions which caus'd ho much happi
nc , to its inhabitants, for It can be safely
raid that no place on iarth, as a whole,
enjoyed melt uncnnflm I c.mtcnlment as did
tin inhabitants cf Douglas I land during the
P1 Hod of the greatest activity of the Tread
wall Ctn.p.ny.
This lias gone down in history, but the
doubt and anxiety f-.-r its future would be
removed l>> repeated operations of a pros
perous mine, and the maxim, "History re
peats istclf. heidr tine In every sense.
that i • ; rid j bout DoukIus is true. There are
iuan> people in nrany reel ions of the country who
would like to return to the town of h ippy memory
and share in and help to Contribute to another ora

BIG TAX LE\ IKS REACH ALL CLASSES.

Bluntly searching out a way to pet at large industries!
and financial institutions and businci - for the pur-!
pose of increasing taxes upon tnem do not know how
far tax levies reach in such case. Heavy taxes

or ether Industry wlrleh make, profits extends its*
cbcrations and thereby makes a larger market for
tfchuicat kqcwJrd&e and skill and lalior and t lie
produce oU'lalbt-r. One of the causes for Hie dull
tines in the country of recent years lias been the
j withdrawal from industry and business of much
• money to nr -t tax charges by the Federal and local
1 governments.
Money diverted from channels of trade and in
dustry or from the banks where it is available for
there who are expanding for the purpose of meeting
I heavy tax levies affects the workingmen in tho
; industries concerned and those who produce raw

There - uld be differentiation in taxes upon
j capital that is actually employed In the industries
land idle c.iptinl, inherited estates, etc. Heavy taxes
on the ind ' tries cause a slowing down, and reach
I wherever tin n are employed throughout the ramifica
tions of i.or rnmph x system.
It is said that 100,000 people have been severed
fiotn the Government payroll in the last two yeirs.
That is. ini vine in the. rig It t direction, and this period
if no unemployment is a good time to cut more of tho

The Menace to Liberty.
(Cincinnati (inquirer.)
General Hawes, former Director of the National
Budget, i mi the first to recognize the danger of
minorities to the liberty of the citizen. But it is
well that rtuh warning as his, recently proclaimed
in an aildre- before the In ion League Club of
Chicago, could !>•■ given the emphasis of authorita
tive approval and the widest possible publicity, to
the end that the average citizen may be made to
realize tin- -inbiter power of such organized defiers
of tlie Hill rt Rights.
General Dawes; truly affirmed that organized
! minorities at present wield a greater and more dan
gerous power tlian that of any Prince.
The General referred in eharactr ri; t Ic, under
standable English to tiio development and enuncia
tion of demagoguery in Congress during the past few
years. He paid his rr .peets to the newly elected
Senaor- who "rush Into debates with radical, inflam
matory and untrue statements." He pointed to the
traged enacted "by human beasts at Herrin,” and
the "tawless saturnalia at Harrison, Ark," as evi
dence cf the tremendous power wielded by certain
labor leaders. Hut the vitalizing pronouncement of
his speech came with his declaration that "future
generations will regard the Daugherty injunction ns
the beginning of a new era of law anti order,
j Through it our Government announce; that the right
I <»f a n ; n to work is as sacred as tlte right of a man
l'o step work."
The venonx;: insistence of the effort from cer
; tain quarter.- to recur, the impeachment of tlte At
I torncj--General a; the objective sponsor for this most
j important and valuable among modern legal guar
antees of an inalienable right prove to what extent
a minority may go In order to maintain ils autocratic
powt r.
The average citizen must begin to realize that
the organized agencies demand the right to su
jpttvire hint in his home relatione, to regulate his
: persona,] habits, to codify the list of ids amuse
I mentr, to arrange the formulae of his morals, to
!»■< cribe the avenues through which he must pass
i It; pursuit of health and social happiness!
We agree with General Dawes that the average
Jcltlzc n should demand a new Bill of Bights

Lead Prices Helps Yukon.
(Dawson Newe.)
t I.ateat metal quotations In the world markets
Nve the price ol lead at eight to eight and a quarter
(cents. This is three to four cents more tlufn lead
commanded a ye.ai aigo. The price practically has
; doubled. The upward jump la due largely to revival
(-11 building trades and In other Industries. The
I building boom which Is reported throughout Ameri
j can cities is roe pen sib lo to no small degree. Plumbing.
! paints and other materials In which lead plays a
l> rt are being more gem rally used.
While lead is not one of the precious metals and
(has not the glamour and hire of gold and silver, it
"ften is found extensively associated with the prec
ious metals. In Yukon, as in many other regions,
i bad is found extensively In connection with silver.
I The Kono Hill mines carry a very heavy percentage
•f lead. Heretofore the lead has brought just about
| enough to pay the freight on It to the smelter. With
( he present price the cost of mining and of tram
id lotion should both be covered and leave some
(margin if profit to the Yukon miners. This being the
!l'ase. the lead will be no particular handicap in
(Yukon mining. The only necessity will he to provide
efficient facilities to handle the hulk of ore in the
j transportation reasons ns touches both land and
i water hauls.
Such a vast area of the Mayo district is silver
had bearing that the advance in price of the lead,
i giving promt; e of the base metal being able to con
tinue to pay it way. Thus one more favorable con
i ililion helps to hasten the era when the many lower
-tade properties ot' (he district will be renedered
workable at a profit.
The raving effected by the advance in lead values
I I bo last year is sufficient to put certain properties
I "hich were bordering on the doubtful line In the
I ro4i.t-yielding class. This advance and other im
I proved conditions no doubt will bring many more
properties of the Mayo area into the producing class
in good time.
The conditions in the Yukon silver situation are
(improving, both as to the properties being uncovered
land in respect to transportation and prices, and the
iitlook is highly encouraging.
It Is to bo hoped that this session of the Terri
ll rial Legislature will not fail .to provide a good
fund for the payment of bounties on predatory ani
in ib and birds. The Alaska wolf and eagle are two
cf the greatest destructive factors with which we
have to contend in the North, and it is only romo
chechaco nr the uninformed who argue again;t the
bounty system. (Ketchikan News.)
On (lie whole, and deoididly so. the country is
with the Administration in the position it has taken
oi nonparticipation and noninterference with the
Huhr experiment. (Cincinnati Enquirer.)
The suggestion of amending the ten command
ments is not likely to be followed. Most people have
adopted them with reservations. — (Seattle Post-In

The Sixty-seventh Congrrrs iu no more, and the
English language is In for a long rest. — (Detroit i

The Turks have rejected the peuce treaty. Now
Sit the Powers lie equally generous and reject the
Turks. -(Cincinnati Enquirer.)
