attention that some of the boys de-

not know who the boys are or by

quite certain the men for whom they
are working do not approve Of this
method of treating dumb animals, and
would suggest to those who are care
less in this respect that they treat the
animals with more consideration in
the future.

ChicQQ0,S COmplicQted Government

What community in the world has a more compli.
Gated local government than Chicago, is asked by the
Bureau of Public Efficiency, which answers its own
question. None The ballot presented to voters of
Chicago at certain elections is larger than that used
in any other community in the world, with one or
two possible exceptions. There are more heads OF
departments in Chicago than there are in the govern.
ment Of the United States. The board of election
commissioners is a governmental anomaly. Nowhere
in the county government is there any central CO.
ordinating official or body. The Chicago park stu
ation%is unparalleled in any city in this country.
Multiplicity of local governments means duplication
Of governmental machinery a%ntiquated administrative
methods, inefficient service and enormous waste the
report adds. multiplicity of elective officials means,
in general, a mediocre class of public servants, who
are, not responsive to public will. There are nineteen
distinct governing agencies in the territory compris.

The approaching day Of national prohibition was
not foreshadowed by the gayety of the cafes, but the
AntiSaloon league has a case against the New Year
revels that promises some sensational developments,
it is said. Prohibition in Chicago would be a shock,
for there are. 1852 saloons. In the Chicago local
option campaign the representative for the liquor
side, Nathan A. Cole, gave figures showing that the
saloons of Chicago did a business of $3.50, O0O, 900 a
year. An ex-saloon keeper, working on the dry side,
gave figures showing that the necessary income to
provide for license, rent, help, liquors and profits to
keep the 1852 saloons in operation was not less
than $14O,OOO,OOV, or Il little less than $40, 900 for each
saloon. Chicago receives in return 81, OOO,O 900 in
license money, which does not pay for the hospitals,
jails, penitentiaries, asylums, criminal courts, waste
and graft charged to the saloon,

Suffrage and Income Tax

Friends of the suffrage movement in this country
have reason to be somewhat disturbed by the declara-
ton that certain leaders Of the movement are plan.
ming to resist the collection OF the income tax and
that their purpose is applauded by the Congressional
Union for Woman Suffrage. with headquarters in this
city. Resistance of a legally imposed tax can be no
other than a form Of militancy, and anything sug-
gestive of mili.ancy in this country will be a serious
mistake, which may have a deterrent effect for many
years to come upon the suffrage development. This
is not the time to raise the issue of taxation with
out representation" as a means Of facilitating the en-
reimbursement of the women OF the United States.
If the suffrage movement had been seriously halted,
il some time had passed without advances in the
states, there might be some Justification for a feeling
Of despair. But on the contrary, there is every reason
for the women of this country who wish to be enfran-
chised to be encouraged. With. nine states, giving
full suffrage to women and others giving a limited
suffrage and with campaigns in progress in several
others promising early results and with a steadily
rising tide Of sentiment in favor of equal enfranchise-
ment, there is no occasion to feel that the fight is
not successful. Resistance of the income tax may
prove embarrassing to the government, but it is more
likely to prove embarrassing to tho %suffragists them
selves who defy the law. The officials Of the treasury
department cannot discriminate as long as the statute
reads as it does, and while there may be a disposition
to avoid an issue, eventually those who, as a matter
Of %p";npiple refuse TO Gay the income Tax must be
subjected to the penalty which the law provides. 1t
is stated by the Congressional Union, in a formal
%outgiving on the subject, that resistance to this act
would have "an excellent educational value This
may be true to the extent Of arousing interest. But
the advantages Of exploitation would be very quickly
offset if this educational resistance were carried to
the extent of precipitating what may, for the want of
a better term, be styled militant defiance of the tax
law. I The temptation to put the government to this
test may be very strong, but if wise counsel prevails
among the s%uffragists it will be resisted and the wom-
en- who are subjected to the income tax will content
themselves with paying under protest, thereby gain
ing publicity for their contention without putting in
jeopardy the progress of their movement, now so

ALASKAN GOLD DEPOSITS.

Washington, Jan 1.-The geology
and mineral resources Of a part OF
the Yukon anana region, in Alaska,
including the gold ~placers OF Ram
part and Hot Springs, r described
in a report made public today by the
United States Geological Survey.
Placer gold was discovered in the
Rampant district probably as early as
1893, and since 1896 systematic min.
ing has been carried on, the first
claim worked being on Little Minook
creek. IN
Later, as the area being prospected
increased, placers were located and
mines developed on the tributaries Of
Baker creek, and still later, on Sulli-
van creek and neighboring stream
tributary to Patterson creek.
Prospecting on the tributaries of
the Yukon and Tanana ives. Of the
productive areas has revealed the
presence of gold in a number of local
tiles. Although much ground is held

in the Gold Hill district, the presence

The scene Of greatest activity in
mining in the Rampant AMI Hot
Springs districts has shifted to the
south as successive discoveries Rave
been made. The Rampant district
yielded its greatest output il: 1906
and 1902. The placers along the
north margin of Baker Flats reached
Their. max;num production about the
same time, but have not fallen off
so rapidly as the Rampant district.
The Patterson creek locality has
steadily increased its production
since the operations were begun. the

output in its history.

IndisputQbLe Facts

Mr.. Gloom, editor of the Devils Lake Journal, in
an editorial published recently in that paper, tries
to ridicule the action of the state auditor in securing
the retirement OF $4,000 of capitol building bonds,
due in 1923. The action OF the auditor saves to the
capitol building fund the tidy sum of $4,000 of in
terest money, and places at the disposal of the land
board the additional sum OF $4,000, to be loaned on
bonds and farm mortgages. Neither of these facts
can be disputed.
Mr.. Bloom endeavors to throw mud on the Cover
nor at the same time, by claiming this money had
been on deposit in the Governors banks.
In this connection it is a peculiar thing to note
that up to the month of December, 1913, the funds
of the capitol building had simply been allowed to
accumulate These funds grew until on July l, 1913,
the balance amounted TO $25O,595. This money was
lying idle and would continue to lie idle were it not
for Governor Hanna, who, at a meeting of the board
of university and school lands, called attention to
this large uninvested amount of money and intro
duced a" resolution authorizing the investment of tho
capitol funds in farm loans and bonds, thereby giving.
the people of the state the benefit of low interest.
Following is shown the balances in the capitol
building funds from January 1, 1907, at which time
Governor Burke became governor, and we would call
your attention to the large balances at all times

At all times during Mr.. Burke's administration it
would have been possible to have retired the $4,000
issue of capitol building bonds and to have invested
the balance of the capitol building fund in farm
mortgages and school bonds.
The reader can decide whether Governor Hanna
or Governor Burke favored the banks.
Since Governor Hanna's resolution was adopted
about $4,000 of the capitol building funds have been
put to work and are now earning interest.
