CIRCULATION OT'AR \ N'TFFO TO UK WORK THAI
DOPBI.F. THAT OF ANY OTHFK ALASKA N FVVSPAPEI
A MATTER fOR VERY SERIOI S THOUGHT
The Legis uti re should think a long time ant
Airy seriously before attempting to regulate bufilin'.
In Alaska through the means of taxation. It shouli
never for a moment lose light of the fact that th
groat > t need la Alaeka is capital. When capital i
limited here It creates a demand for workers am
! ritga population an<l with population come market
for what we produce and for our business men ant
that mean.- more woik lor the greater production re
quired, more population, etc.
Nti'.hing will cause capital to hesitate longer be
fori inve ing than litglr taxation, and any tuxattor
i high it it. provide-- more revenue than nocessarj
to meet the actual needs of an economically admin
iutered government.
The best way to induce capital to come to Alaska
for investment and development is to treat tin
capital already here fairly and justly and not ti
tax it unneco-waiily.
The; are days when people are giving though
to reduction of cm t. of opetation. That ought to In
the rule in government also. It is even more im
port ant there than In bitsln-ss. Money taxed out o
the channels of trade has a tendency to slow dowi
production and buslr.e; . and slower production am
slower business means stagnation and reduced popu
lation.
In the two years that he has been President Mr
Harding has been praised more for bringing about, i
reduction in the cost of operating the Goevrnmen
qnd. conccuuewtly. in appropriations than for any
thing else that has occurred. Thai! is always a mint
tier for praise and congratulations.
IN DEI’ENDENT S EN A TORS.
Senator Ladd is tlie latest of the Farmer Bloc
Senators to announce his independence of politico
partie-o lie declared that t lie people have lost con
iidencc in the "old parties,” and asserted that they
are crumbling. Next year, he said, will contain sur
prises for the old political parties. Senator Norris
recently announced that he had left the Republican
Party uml henceforth will be an independent. Both
Senator I .add and Senator Norris were elected at
Republican,--.
It is mm difficult to endorse the action of these
Senatois if tlie> feel that way. It is far belter than
for them to remain in a party to whose principles
they do not sub critic , • Senator Lu Follette does
Si nator I.a Folletti j. not a Republican any more
than Senators Norris and Ladd are Republicans, am
like thorn should admit it and get out.
This suggests that no political .party will have t
majority in the next Senate. When 'tile returns were
in from the last election it was disclosed that there
were 53 Republicans chosen for the 68th Congress,
a lets of seven from the figures for the 67th Con
gress. There were 4:1 Democrats and one Farm-Labor.
Since then one Republican lias died and lie will be
succeeded by a Democrat To make up the 52 now
classified as Republicans wo have to count Senator*
Norris, I.add, brazier (the Non-Partisan League Sena
tor from North Uukot.n, Senator La Follette, Sena
tor Brook hart, and Senator Borah, none of whom art
»«*!!>• Republicans, and Senators Johnson, Howell
Cpuzens and Norbeck who are net more than Via 1 f Re
publicans. All of these, except i.a Follette and John
ran, -each of whom dreams that lie might become i
Republican Presidential nominee and then want t<
proftt by wearing a party label, are constantly talk
ing of their Independence of parly organization. Tin
fact is that the Republicans cannot count on mori
than 4u to 45 Senators to stand by the organization
It require* 4fi to constitute a majority in that body
the next Senate oft plenty of opportunities loi
those who want to make trouble.
MIDDLE WEST LEADS IN FARM
MORTGAGES.
A cliculer i sued b.v the Department of (’ommeroi
ihows that tfie aggregate of farm mortgage’s hi thi
t nited Statis at ihe la;! census was $7,857,770,000
file figures show’ that the home of farm mortgages it
ip the Min i ppi Valley Slates and that the fanners
of the South are freest of debt in proportion to flit
number of farms.
Tiie Misaks.ppl \ alley Sta.t -. beginning with
Ohio and terminating with the Mountain States, owe
**bcut five-sevenths of this total, $5,377,770,000. If
wo eM'minati’ the seven Southern States of this 11st,
West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Ar^
kanr.MS, Louisiana and Oklahoma the Northern Mis
slislppi Vallc-y Stales show an indebtednoes of nearly
|5,000,000,000.
The seventeen Southern .aid Border States, which
contaJn far mor.e than half of the farms and farm
lands in the country, have a mortgage indebtedness
of $1,338,630,000.
Iowa he.ipls the list of States in the total of farm
mortgages. $1,098,070,000, which i more than double
t|ie amount or the next highest State, Illinois with
fl60?.85fl.000. Minnesota is third, $455,540,000; Wis
cfonrin fourth, $455,470,000; California fifth, $425,
440,000; Nebraska birth, $416,860,000, and Texas

11 and value of her farms and the value of her farm
J products, is seventh in the amount of her mortgages,
1396,670,000, cleorgia, which ranks second in the
number of her farms, is 24th, in the amount of her
• mortgage: : Mississippi, third in the number of iter
farms, is 26th in the amount of her mortgages, and
! North Carolina, fourth in the number of farms is
30th in the amount of mortgages.
By this time President Harding must
have made up itis mind that he must manage
to get reelected without the fisherman's vote.

Keep Prospector in Mind.
(Dawson News.)
It is interesting to read (lie enormous dividends
of the Hollinger, the McIntyre, the Premier and to
contemplate the marvelous outputs of the Rand and j
the Klondike and other great mining centers whose!
discovery lias become a matter of history. Many of I
the developed properties along will continue produc
lion, but in order to keep up with the ceaseless
procession of time and the world's demand for min
etals, new discoveries must be made; in order to
open the vast mineralized territories prospectors are
11 indispensable.
Scarcely any chronicles are more picturesque than
those of the stampede;- to new mining fields and the
exploits of men who first turned up the rich minerals.
‘ But the men who were full of fire and determina
; lion a quarter century ago and fearlessly plunged Into
I the wilderness in the quest of now minerals are now
; i gradually parsing to the camp beyond the great |
divide, and new blood is needed in their peculiar
Held.
Yukon and Alaska are feeling (the need of a
new generation of prospectors. If the minerals of
these regions arp lo he developed more young men
must be induced to get into the hills. Men in re
sponsible positions, those upon whom rests the bur
den of shaping legislation and in otherwise opening
Hie way for the prospector, must not forget the great
economic part lie plays in the development of a
country—particularly a frontier region.
,1 The building of trails, wagon roads, railways and
other public utilities ate an aid to the prospector,
j but in many regions there will be no excuse for
I‘itch if the prospector does not enter first and prove
' that such public Improvements are justified. Tourists
• and sightseers may come into a country in summer
time, and marvel at the rugged beauty and strange
sigitis of the; latitudes, but such travelers, while
I they are to be encouraged, never will make a country
a land of production, a land of industry and a land;
of homes, which ate the essential features lo per-!
nianrnt wealiii and prosperity.
The prospector is the man upon whom the North
1 land depends to find its Keno Hills, its Kenneeotts,
iils Treadwell lodes, its Premiers. Such men live a
•jlile that has its picturesque freedom, its exemption
. frim petty bondage of the shop and office, its capital
j prizes of sued health and often great wealtli—but
jit also has ids hardships, is inexorable demands, for
sympathy and support of others. This aid and en
couragement euuuld tie constantly forthcoming from
all in a position to rendor such and eventually share
j the fruits it liiv new discoveries. The proupector li
Indispensable—keep him in mind. '1
Married Women’s Strike.
(Cleveland Times-Commerclal.)
Women have no votes in Mexico, but apparently
| that tact will not prevent them front exercising polit
ical power in Vera Cruz. Married women of that
I city have i"lut'd an ultimatium declaring they will
trtke and refuse to perform any domestic duties
; it their husbands vote in the approaching elections,
j or exercise any of their political rights.
The came of tlie disturbance is somewhat ob
I scnre. An agitator, who lias been in prison for sev
j oral months on the charge of inciting a riot, seems!
j to be especially popular with the women of Vera;
Cruz. So they have determined that the civil gov-1
j eminent shall he ignored until the man is released. I
, But if the cause cf the strike is rather vague, itsj
i effecMveneKa set ms to be beyond dispute.
: A strike of nearly all the married women or Vera'
j ( ruz and a reiusal on their part to perform domestic
I duties would ho .1 more disastorus blow to civiliza
i 1 i°n than tlie inability of the housewives of Cleve
j land lo cook meals after May 1 if the natural gas
I should he shut off. Women do not need the vote
| ut Vera Cruz or any other city in the world to con
\ trol the situation, if they are in earnest.

(Boston News Bureau.)
The descent of the road to Avernus has always
been supposed to bring an acceleration of pace toward*
, the end. It has certainly been so with all the nations!
that have followed on that journey the ignis fat mis of
I currency dcbaucliment and depreciation. The totals
I of nearly worthless paper money became fantastically
(huger at the same time that, by a grim Irony, there
j developed u "scarcity” in relation to need for them,
j History is cluttered with examples, frequently
cited nowadays. Russia, with its contempt for econ
j omic orthodoxy, has outdone all the old traditions.
| Germany, well knowing better at the beginning, but
inspected cf ulterior motives, has so far this year
shown what she can do with the printing press.
