THE LICENSE TAX.

There seems little reason to doubt
that Alaskans were betrayed at Wash>
ington City by senator's and congress-
men whom we regarded as friends
Senator Mason recently stated that the
Ubiquitous and un-American license tax
provision of the Alaskan Code became a
law by not being understood. # now
appears that Senator Mason Is not the
only member of the upper branch of
the American Congress who is opposed
to taxation without representation.
Il. F. Lewis of Juneau, who spent
most OF the winter in Washington has
returned home and is quoted by the
juneau RecordMiner as follows: ..
To Senator Ross of Vermont we
owe it that we have any part of the
license money for local use in onr
schools. The senator took a deter
mined stand, as his ancestors did in
revolutionary times, that taxation
ola colony and the expenditure of the
money in fhe parent country was
wrong and unjust"
The inference is that the managers
OF the bill who claimed that the license
tax was retained because it was nee
essary to secure the adoption of any
kind OF legislation were not speaking
by the card. 1t is evident that they
may Re justly accused of smuggling
the provision through. This view is
borne out by the recent defense of the
tax by Representative Warner, who had
charge of the bill in the house of repre-
sentatives. Had Senator Carter sd
desired. he could no doubt have left
this scheme of taxation open to be
levied by the people themselves and
for their own benefit.

TAXING THF NORTH.

It seems to be the policy of both the Ca
'nsdisns and Americans to exploit their
northern possessions. The British Colum-
ba government has derived in revenues
b. from the Lake Bennett and Atln divisions
OF the Csssar district the goodly sum of
SI6o.4r7.8o In two years. This does not
include the tariff collections at Bennett, of
course. which go to the Dominion.
This is modern feature of government
There was time during the present CEN
fury when Americans and Canadians en-
eouraged the development of new countries
as means of widening their market and
furnishing an outlet for their over crowded
sections.
II Is to the credit of this north country
that 1t progresses. While British Columbia
taxes Atlin, the Dominion Expresses the
Yukon and the United States preys upon
Alaska, all are going ahead, increasing
their production and the prosperity of their
residents. Thew are each wear becoming a
r greater and better market for the products
u of the older sections OF the country. The
stream of gold, wrenched from the grasp Of
the hills and gulches, flowing into the
channels of trade is constantly swelling,
and like new rich blood to the emaciated
patient, 1t is reviving the entire country,
Yet the work being done by Alaskans and
their neighbors is nothing compared with
what 1t would be If conditions were differ
ent,
IT development wele encouraged rather
than harrassed there would soon be hun

He Saved tho Bridge.


"At Harpers Ferry on one occasion
the food In the Potomac was so great
that It threatened the destruction Of
the costly railroad bridge, which was
seen to shake In its unsteadiness," said
former Governor Thomas G. Jones.
when everybody present was looking
each moment to see tho bridge go
down, President John w. Garrett Of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad arriv-
ed upon the scene. Appreciating tho
necessity Of instant action, be gave an
abrupt order for a loaded train Of
freight cars standing on a side track to
be run with the locomotive on to tho
bridge and kept there.
"'But. Mr.. Garrett, that Is train
load Of silk said the local superintend-
ent.
"'I don't care; run out the carsr
commanded the great master Of rail-
roads. 1t would be easier to pay for
the silk than to build new bridge
"The silk train was run on to the
bridge, and the structure was saved.
The silk was being sent by rail across
the continent from San Francisco, at
which port 1t had been received from
China and Japan. Garrett was great
man, one Of the greatest Of those who
have aided In the material development
OF America. In emergencies he was
very resourceful, as was demonstrated
in perhaps a. small way by the Har-
pers Ferry Incident" - Birmingham

that thereafter no trees less than eight
inches In diameter should be cut down
for agricultural or mining purposes in

"This ruling had aroused a storm of

Clark Carter campaign. I was speak

"Cards are not played rs much on
the cars as they used to be-" said the
commercial traveller. "a few years
ago 1t was a common sight to see three
or four games, whist, euchre, poker or
seven up, going on In car, and wher-
ever four or fve drummers were gath
cred together there was sure to be a
lively game Of draw In progress. Sub
urban trains were turned into whist
clubs, and morning and night the COM
muters were engaged in rubber.
"But all this has been changed. Now.
adays 1t Is the hardest thing In the
world to get up game Of any kind IN a
train. Ask a stranger If he would like
to take hand at whist or euchre, and
he will freeze you with a suspicious
look. And, what is worse, he Is entire
ly Justified In his suspicious.

whx an Many Young Men Fail,

zone trouble with many young men
who start out In business Is they try to
do too many things at once" says Het-
ty Green. 1.-THE result Is that they
don't know as much as they ought to
about any one thing, and they natural
ly fail. The trouble with young men
who work ON salaries Is that they're
always afraid Of doing more than
they're paid for. They don't enter into
their work with the right spirit. To
get on and be appreciated a young man
must do more than he's paid to do.
When he does something that his en-
ployer has not thought Of, he shows
that he is valuable. Men are always
willing to pay good salaries to people
who will think Of things for them.
The man who only carries out the
thoughts and ideas of another Is moth
ing more than q mere tool. Men who
can be relied upon are always in de-
mand. The scarcest thing in the world
today is thoroughly reliable man"

A Hint to Letter Writers.

The practice Of writing private let
tiers from the first to the third page Of
q letter sheet and then going back to
tho second page Is matter Of taste,
bVt 1t wiz not DO to follow that course
Of procedure IN writing legal docu-
ments,
The New York courts have disallow-
ed the provisions of will written In
this way. The testator wrote the will
on three sides Of O folded paper, COM
mencing on the first page and continu-
ing on the third page, at the top Of
which was written second page" and
completing and signing the instrument
ON page marked third page" which,
In fact, was the second page Of the
sheet.
The court held that the will was not
signed at the physical end, as required
by the statute. The law does not con-
template going backward In order to
get forward, and the will was refused
probate. The New York court Of ap-
peals sustained the decision throwing
out this form Of will.-Beston Herald.
