in TAXATION

When children wish to frighten

is 10 slip up behind them and say

do Is to mount platform. or issue q
circular and say, "Tuxes!"
''Boo!"--'Taxes!' These are scare
words. What are taxes?
Taxes are the peoples contribu

government; that Is. their own pro

The only reason the word Taxes
Is so unpleasant is because expert.
ence has taught most people that, IN
general. the mention Of taxes means
more taxes.
Secretary Taft, In recent speech
referred to an inheritance tax and an
income tax. He was rather guarded
his remarks; he knew that Taxes
and Boo" had similar effects. But
he did speak plainly in favor of an
Inheritance tax, and he left the inn
preston that. under certain clrcum-
stances, he would not object to an
income tax.
Along with other vital issues. this
tax problem Is sure to become more
and more a matter Of public concern.
We may as well give it thought and
consideration now.
II Is apparent, theoretically speak

For over IL years England has had
an inheritance tax. She boasts today
that the burden of her taxation Is laid
most on those who benefit most by
her government. And almost at the
moment when President Roosevelt
was publicly urging an inheritance

che1uer was telling the Commons,
'The time has arrived for an inquiry
into the practicabiiity of graduated

Election Gossip

As the time for the spring election draws near, interest begins to quicken and the discussion of municipal mat ters takes the place of weather topic.
 From present appearances there will be several changes in the city council, Many new names are being brought forward. Among those mentioned as prospective candidates are Henry Erie, Alex Smallwood, Chas, Stowe, John Stoft, Elmer Smith, w. c. Boyd, p. Taylor, Albin Baritillo, R. R. Hub bard, M. c. Rogers, Geo. Riedi, Charlie Spores, John Feusi, M. $. Hudson, Jules Jeuseu, l.. G. Thomas, Joe Pat terson and perhaps others.
 However, considerable interest will center around the selection of the School Director, who is this year elect, ed for term of three years. Many citizens claim that, in the struggle over councilmen, school matters have been neglected; and that the school is absorbing more of the city revenues than it should. There is also feeling that the school is not up to the stand ard it should attain, when the amount expended is considered. Some assert incompetency of teachers as the great draw. back. Surely Douglas is entitled to good school. It costs about S6o000 month to run it, and for small school that is large sum.
 All these matters will be threshed out in the next few weeks and we be- lieve the voters can be depended on to do the right thing.

On a Sunday

The Sabbath in Alaska is not gen erallv what might be called a day of rest. Here, as in many other places, it becomes necessary that the grind ot toll shall rot cease. Men must work that men may eat. While it is mis- fortune that the struggle for bread must continue, as it does for some, seven days in week and fifty-two weeks in a year, those who labor most do the least grumbling about it, aud those who may rest on the Sabbath very seldom appreciate the privilege.
 Last Sabbath was beautiful day Although the snow and ice still finger ed on the bosom of mother earth, the sky was clear, and the sun was warm. It was a first taste of spring. Down the long road that leads to the mines and mills of the Treadwell companies was natural direction for Sabbath day stroll. Along Beach avenue few lazy Indians were chopping the day supply of fuel, and the ever present dog was stunning his scabby hide on the porches.
 When Treadwell was reached the dis cordant chatter of the steam riveterS, com bined with the heavy, dirty smoke of that Jap coal, made thoughts of peace end rest fly away. In it's place came the suggestion that it will be a great relief when the oil burners begin operations and the smoke nuisance is abated.
 As far down as the Ready Bullion mill the tramping of many feet has almost entirely obliterated the snow What there is left is black and bears no reminder of the purity it once symbolized.
 The grand rush to Tony Tubb's restaurant" furnished cheering spec tacle, and the hungry workers said that a chicken dinner was waiting for them. Many new faces gathered around the door; some that before always topped a white shirt and collar. But times have changed some, and it is the old employee who laughs little, when the oil tank gang comes along. Really it is not strange that the laborer who earns his bread by the sweat of his face has no tears to shed when the white collar brigade is broken, and new recruit is brought into their mess.
 A stranger stood and eyed the min CTS closely as they came rushing down the bill from the big mine. He looked like he would have gladly joined in the attack on the chicken dinner. Then he confded to the News man that he was miner. He was no doubt look ing for job, but inwardly praying that he might not find it, so he walked hurridly away.
 We have been told that Gods curse was a command to work. We don't be- lieve it. What wicked, trifing, in sipid old world this would be if we were all loafers.
