SITKA MAY
 INCORPORATE

A movement smong the Sitka busi- ness men to iucorporats under the mu- nicipal incorporation act is gaining headway. The movement is being ad- vocated by the Sitka Cablegram, which says:
 'Tf the people of Sitka are earnest in their efforts to improve the town 1t seems as though their first action should be to avail themselves of the in- corporation law.
 "Sitka incorporated would mean Sit ka selt-goyerning. Every male resi- dent o=er 2l would have a voice in the government.
 "To those who obi ct to this tax it should be some argument of weight that those who are favorable to incor- poration would be hit the hardest in the matter of taxation, The Cable gram refers to that larger majority of our merchants who favor incorpora- tion."

Alaska should have a circuit court of appeals. The idea Of having to go 5000 miles to San Francisco to be heard on an appeal from the district court works an extreme hardship upon the miner, or other appellant, who is not possessed of money. It gives men of means dis tiuct advantage over poor contesting Iiti yant to which thy are not entitled, if strict justice is desired.
