LARGE AMOUNT OF PLACER
GOLD PRODUCED IN ALASKA

Since mining began in Alaska in
1880 the gold placers of the territory
have yielded 7,4ss,491 fine ounces of
gold, valued at 1854 4.s0O.s75. These
mines have also produced 1,652,Ol6
fine ounces of silver, with CONNER
cial value of $500, ,743, according to
A. II. Brooks, of the United States
Geological Survey.
The gold placer mines of Alaska
are estimated to have produced in
1912 geld to the value of $ll $780,
600. Railroad development is the
thing that is most needed, and it is
not to be expected that under persent
Industrial conditions there Will be any
stability of placer gold output in the
territory. So long as the high cost of
transportation prevails, the produe-
tion of placer gold must depend on the
exploitation of bonanza deposits, for
these alone can be expected to yield
profitable returns

WHAT INTERVENTION
WOULD COST UNITED STATES

The war department plans, with
the estimate of an army of 560. 900
men contemplates such a show of su.
perior force that il would sweep ev-
eIything before il. On this basis, the
actual invasion might be completed
within six months. How much longer
the occupation of Mexican territory
would be necessary completely to re-
store peace belongs to the realm of
prophecy.
An invasion by 100000 men, lasting
for six months, it is believed would
approximate a cost off $3.50. 900 ,OO0-
almost 100000 a day. This is an
allowance of little more than 800
per month per man a conservative
per capita cost to put such an army
in active service and keep it moving
At the end of six months, if the
work of invasion were over, there
would probably be left of the invad-
ing force 300,0 men. 1t seems cruel
to speak in such cold terms of the toll
of death and wounds and illness and
desertion. But war department sta
tisties record under the head of "de,
teriorationn percentage of between
so and go per cent for the first six
months for even such force. Con
verting these 100000 men into a
static army of occupation in a foreign
land, it is estimated, would require
aa outlay of about $l50000,000 for
six months-an average of about $500
per man. And if at the end of the
year it would still require 100000 men
for another year, that would mean an
other toll of 100000, 900.
For occupation of a territory so
vast as that of Mexico would require
scores of heavy garrisons in all the
capitals of the Mexican states and in
the strategic points that command the
lines of communication between them.

GOVERNMENT vF THE
DlorhICT Uf' COLUMBIA

During that period OF the district 8
history when there was considerable
measure OF self government granted
to 1t by congress, Washington passed
through the experience OF most Amer
lean cities, an era OF graft, Incompe
tency and the pihng up Oh public deDt.
In 1910 what Is known as the organic
act was passed by congress, that holy
o. holes winch must not be touched
oy protane hands, the mere mention
OF winch SENDS the cold shlvers down
the backs Oh the large property own
eIs OF the district and drives certain
newspapers into nysterIcal spasms. 1t
Is also known as the half and half sys
tenn. The act, In Drlef, provides that
the taxes collected IN the district are
TO be paid into the united States
treasury, ali appropriations to be
made py congress and congress to ap-
propriate out OF the national treasury
Tor the ordinary expense OF the DIS
trIct an amount equal to half the APP
proved estimates OF expenditure,
which has been interpreted to mean
as mucn as is raised in the district. 1t
mas already been indicated that this
s. stem tends to make graft easy and
fashionable. Perhaps still worse Ell
Iect is the tendency to make OF the
citizens of the district community OF
mendicants.
The system works badly from either
direction. There is tendency to keep
down the taxable resources OF the dis
trlct. The rate is ''$I.50 on the $lUU,
On not less than two thirds the value.
OF real estate, and on the full value
OF personal property. There is no in
heritance tax, and, OF course, no in
come tax. There Is not, as 10r most
residents, state and county tax
With an estimated budget Or abous
$l2,O0O,000, the district taxes must be
kept down to $6,U00,000. So, accord
ing to the report OF the George sub
committee, $4O0,0O0,000 worth of rea.
estate does not pay any tax.
On the other hand, congress often
denies to the district what it sorely
needs and officially asks for, such as q
hospital for the INDECENT sick, now
confined in the Washington asylum
and Jail under one superintendent,
makes no adequate provision for the
feeble-minded; refuses to authorize
the building of reformatory for
white girls, or detention home for
the juvenile court; cripples all the
group of institutions for children by
inadequate appropriations; and, IL
general, scrutinizes severely the esti
mates for the district, ON the ground
that half the money is to come out oil
the national treasury, while inflicting
upon the district appropriations that
are not needed, half of which must b.
raised by local taxation. 1t has
granted subsidies amounting to ST.
100000 in ten years to private ami
sectarian institutions. Here is an in
tolerable situation for free Americans
who have no axes of their own to
grind.-Harper' Weekly.
