ALWAYS ABSUsD.

Commenting upon the observation by the Daily Alaskan that the building ot railroads iu Western Alaska would bring into the district a population which would demand territorial gov ernment, the Juneau Eecord-Miner says:
 "The people oi Alaska have never expressed any desire for territorial or ganization. The railroad companies themselves win bc the strongest fac tors in Alaska against any unnecessary taxation. The strongest argument made to capitalists back ot these gi- gantic enterprises Co invest their money was that there would be no taxes Of any consequence until the roads could earn something. Come again, for che railroads win be with all the other men Of means who are in- vesting their money in Alaska
 Could anything be more absurd? In Che first place the Juneau Record Miner, as usually, misstates the facts, and in the second, its remarks are not in point The Daily Alaskan was re- isrring Go the people whom a railroad would bring into the territory. Ara,l- road would be the means of securing for Alaska a wide-a-wake and business like population, such as would not be here long until it would recognize the necessity oi having the laws made by those who are familiar with the neces- sities. Skagway is the only railroad town iu Alaska aud the people here are practically unanimous in the demand for territorial government
 In the second place, it has yet Co be shown that capital invested iu this dis  triet is opposed Co seltgoyernmeut. 10 istrue. that there are few instiiu- tions in the neighborhood Of Juneau whose management and directors are opposed 10 anything that stands for pro ,ressiye Americanism, but that doe, not indicate that @ like condition eN- ists elsewhere in Alaska. The fact Is that many of the leading capitalists with investments in this district are men who are demanding territorial government. They say that they want Co know that the laws for their govern ment and for Che government ot the people with whom they do business are made by those who have some kuowl- edge oi the existing conditions. Per haps ,he wealthicst man operating in Alaska. and the one whose investment in the district is greatest, is Charles D. Lane, and he is said Co be an earnest advocate ot territorial government There are many more like him.
 And then railroads are taxed in Alas ka at the present time heavier than they are in many states. Under exist ing laws railroads are required Co pay into the treasury of the federal gov ernment slOO per mile annually. This would mean a yearly taxation on the railroads in the state of Washington. for instance, of the sum Of about s3jo,- OOO, which is probable quite as much, or more, than is paid there. aside from the municipal tax, which must be paid in Alaska in addition Co the slOO per mile. Nearly every cent of this Alas kan tax Is sent out of the district, SO that it can under no circumstance re- turn to the taxpayer.
 Then it has been shown time after time that there would be no need for more taxation under territorial gov ernment than we now have in Alaska

Idaho wants, because we have plenty
of opportunities for enterprises that
are self supporting and do not require
the holding up of the people of
the state, and taking their pittance
for the beneft.of wealthy promoters.
The sugar beet industry Is not an
advantage to the state anyway as it
is essentially monopoly business, as
matters are run under the modern
plan, and depends upon cheap, under
paid and practically peon labor 1t
will lower the standard Of agrIcultur-
al industry, and this Is shown in the
fact that the farmers who pay the
bounty will not profit, as Japanese
and Chinese labor will be imported
at about 50 cents a day to raise the
beets, and provision that companies
employing alien labor should get no
bounty was unceremoniously crushed
by the republican watch dogs of the
interests of the people.
The whole secret of the infamy
may be found when we read the list
of those who hold all the stock not
owned by the sugar trust-IT is
OWNED BY MEN HIGH IN THE

itself. 1t compares with all past
