COMMUNICATION.

Editor Ledger-In conversation
with a very intelligent citizen of
jackson a few days ago, he express
ed surprise when spoke of the op-
pressive taxations imposed upon the
residents of Alaska by the U. S.
government. Having lived there
nearly two years, and seen the use
lessness of petitions for redress,
believe the only way is for those
most interested to take every op-
portunity to let the facts be known
throughout the country.
1t may be too much to expect for
the plain white, population of Alaska,
a general wave of sympathy like
that extended to the Cubans or
F'ilipinos, but still it is encouraging
to see that many newspapers and
public men, upon learning the op-
pressions TO which the people OF
Alaska are subjected, are giving
space and lifting voices in an appeal
to extend justice to a wronged
people. At every term of the dis
trict court men and women are
brought before the judges, sent
there to administer laws which the
people have no voice in making, to
be fined and imprisoned for failing
to pay the tribute imposed upon
them by the federal government.
This is not simple stamp tax like
that against which the American
colonies rebelled 13O years ago on
the ground that they had no voice
in its making. That tax was paid
by Alaskans without protest or
murmur. But will the fair-minded
people of America, will the press
that has mathematical the Span
iards for living off their colonies, re-
main silent when they fully under
stand that the U. S. government is
directly and specially taxing the
people of Alaska for the sole benefit
of the U. S. treasury, when it is
generally known that men and
women have to pay the United
States for the privilege of gaining a
livelihood in Alaska. That woman
cannot keep boarders, nor a man
run store, real estate office, mill,
wharf, factory, broker shop, or pea
nut stand in Alaska without paying
the federal government for the priv
lege. Will free-born Americans
applaud the fact that more than half
the aggregate of all the money so
wrongfully extorted is taken from
Alaska and applied to lessen the
taxation of states and territories.
No colony of Great Britain at the
period of its worst misrule was ever
subjected to such an outrage. Our
English neighbors along the border
cannot be blamed for the sneers and
taunts they so lavishly bestow upon
the oppressed colonists of our boast
ed free (?) America.

The Echo says that Supervisor
Amick has let a contract to Jack
Asbury to put the road below Jack
Dufrene's in good shape. 1t is to
be hoped that this is the inaugura-
tion of thorough trial of the con-
tract system of keeping the roads
of Amador county in repair. We dc
not know what amount is involved
in the contract men toned, but pre-
sumo it is less than $500, as con-
tracts over that amount are required
by law to be let to the lowest res
ponsible bidder, after advertising

A NEEDED REFORM.

AS the time for calling for bids for
supplies for county institutions is
approaching, it may not be amiss
to direct attention to long-stand-
ing wrong in connection with the
county hospital. We refer to the
matter of including the furnishing of
medicines to the sick inmates in the
fixed salary of $50 per month paid
to the county physician The kind
ly and humane treatment accorded
to the inmates by both the superin-
tendent and physician will bear
comparison with any similar institu-
tion in the state. No complaints
have or can be made against the
management, and we do not call
attention to this subject on account
of any murmurs whatever, for we
have heard none, and believe that
none exist. But the system of re-
quiring the physician to supply med
icine at his own cost out of a fixed
salary-and the salary conceded to
be very low one, which allows no
margin whatever for medicines-is
inherently weak and unjust, and
should be abolished as soon as posi-
BILE. 1t is relic of the old-time
lowest-bid system, under which our
county hospital was conducted years
ago, and which proved to be such
fruitful source of abuse and misman-
agement. There are on an average
between so and 60 patients in the
hospital, suffering from almost every
variety of ailments known to medi-
cal science. Any physician and sur
geon will admit that to supply
necessary medicines and surgical
appliances to that number of pa
tients out of salary of $50 per
month, without mourning financial
loss is practical impossibility.
And any system which demands of
an important county official his pro-
fessional services under circumstan-
ces and conditions which involve
such an absurdity is radically wrong,
aud ought to be changed at the
earliest moment. Such system
prevails in no other public hospital
in the state that we are aware of.
In other places the county physician
gets a salary for his professional
services alone. The medical and
surgical supplies are let by contract
to the lowest bidder, the same as
other supplies for county institu-
tions. We know that under the
reform herein pointed out, the
cost of maintaining our county
hospital will be somewhat increas-
ed. But the additional cost is
not to be weighed for moment
against justice to the public wards
and the reputation of Amador coun-
ty. To ask medical practitioner
to treat 10 patients or so patients
at the same price, is hard enough,
but may be done without loss, but
when to this is added that he shall
furnish all needed medicines and
surgical appliances without extra
compensation, it assumes ridicul-
Gus aspect. The taxpayers do not
want to tolerate such policy, and
hence we venture to say that the
letting of the medical and surgical
supplies the same as other nee
essaries are let, and independent of
the physicians salary, would meet
with universal favor, as step in
the interest of justice and good
government.
