The Reynolds System

In view of the recent corporations organized by Reynolds and tho huge sums of money he is paying out, there has heen much local comment regard ing the source of bis power and wealth.
 Many have expressed the belief that be was merely the agent of Wall Street interests and was doing the bidding of strong men in the back ground. Such however is rot the case. He is now carrying out the final details of plans long formulated and carefully thought out, entirely on his own initiative. He came up from among the common people and it is the common people whose fight he is waging for justice and fair play in Alaska Realizing that the funds which finally pay for everything must come from the people, he has wisely tapped the original source of supply and he is backed solely by the people, who trust him implicitly.
 With no regard for wealth for it's own sake, wealth is flowing steadily into his hands to be carefully used for the good and happiness of those who most de- serve the good things of this world those who toll.
 It will probably be a surprise to many to know how comprehensive and far reaching the Reynolds System has grown in the past few years It is hard tc believe that the quiet, unobtrusive young prospector could have organized practically alone, financial system so as to be able to successfully cope with the much dreaded Wall Street Trusts.
 The foundation of the whole Struct- ure is the Reyuolds-A Develop meut Company with capitalization of s3,0O0,OO0. Its stock is selling at 300 per cent. premium and advanced 100 per cent in March during the terrific panic, when Wall Street securities were dropping 20 to 50 points. In fact more Reynolds Alaska shares were purchased by investors in March than during any previous month There are at present nearly l7OO stockholders in the Rey- nolds- Alaska Co.,. representing every state ill the union, besides Canada and Europe. An unique feature of the company is the Executive Council of about 70 members, which directly rep resents the stockholders in the largo affairs of the company.

 The Alaska Home Railway was organ ized for the sole purpose of construc; ing and operating the much needed railroad into the interior. Reynolds plan is to eventually build the Alaska Home Railway to reach every corner of Alaska It is to be a road of the peG- pie of Alaska, builded by them and run in their interests regardless of outside influence. In order to forever prevent wealthy interests from securing con- trol of the Home Railway, each stock holder will have but one vote, regard less of the extent of his holdings. Voting will be in person, or by mai, with no proxies, thus there will be a republican form of government and there will be no repetition of the humil- iating experiences of Eastern minority stockholders ,who must stand helplessly by while they are plundered by unscru- pulous manipulators.
 In order that Alaskans shall secure the full fruits of their development work, Reynolds has covered by corpo- rate organization every point of vantage The Alaska Coast Go. is the transportation link to the States Additional ships are being put on the line. Under contracts with Alaska Shippers, at least 75 per cent. of the freight will be carried by the Alaska Co., Probably all of it will go over this line when sufficient ships are on tue run to accomodate the growing business. There is no reason why any Alaskan should ship by Trust steamers if their home line can give as good, or better, service.
