The Suez and Panama Canals.
(Cincinnati Enquirer.)


 We place before the Enquirer read CTS this morning interesting data as to the Suez and Panama canals, be- lieving that in it's brief and concise form it will enable them quickly to obtain a correct understanding of the financial status as we'll as to other lm- portant matters concerning their con- struction and operation.
 The Suez canal is owned by a stock company, with shares of stock num- bering 379,241.
 Since 1875 the British government has been the owner of 176,60 of these shares. for which 1t paid $19,S55.320.
 Through it's holding of these shares the British government exercises a controlling interest in the Suez canal.
 The canal cost about $127, ,00O, ,000, is 103 miles long, about twenty-eight feet deep, and it takes seventeen hours for vessels to pass through it.
 During the year 1910 the suez canal was traversed by 4.533 vessels. with a total net tonnage of 16. 6.5s1,sss and the toll charges were $1.30 per net ton for vessels with cargo, eighty two cents per net ton for vessels in ballast and $1.ss for each passenger twelve years of age.
 The total receipts of the canal conn pany for the year amounted to $25,- 168,40O; the costs of maintenance and operation to $3,s57.402; payments for fixed charges and in retiring capital obligations aggregated $6,072,6O2.
 The company's net profits were $15.- 9os,419, permitting the payment of a dividend of thirty-one per cent. on the canal company's shares.
 The outstanding capital obligations mounted to $92,4s4,544 at the close of the year 1910.
 The Panama canal Is owned by tho people of the United SGetes.
 It is estimated that it will cost. when completed, approximately $375,O00,- 900. q
 It will be- f1fty-four miles long. forty-one feet deep and vessels will be able to go through it. from ocean to ocean. in twelve hours. To pay for this canal the United States gov ernment has issued bonds to the value of ss4,631. .SS0, bearing interest at the rate of two per cent. and $50.0OO, 900 in bonds bearing interest at the rate of three per cent.
 The expenditures on account of the canal in excess of the money received

An Injustice. (Boston Herald.)

Several years ago a man died in Massachusetts possessed of $10.000,- 900, on which he had been paying to tho municipality in which he lived taxes on $10O,00o. He was thus taxed on one per cent. A few miles away a man died in another town. worth $1,000,000. He had been paying taxes on s50.ooo. or five per cent. of his holdings. Nearer Bos- ton a man died possessed of property valued at $100.000. He had been paying taxes on $25,000, or twenty five per cent of his holdings. Here we had a graduated income tax of one per cent, five per cent. and twenty-five per cent. but at rates which were in inverse proportion to the individuals ability to pay them.
 This is one of the grievous in- justices of our present attempt to collect a personal property tax. which the legislature is now asked to cor rect. If the attempt were made uniformly. it would be one thing. and vastly less objectionable. But in the present unevenness of application. the injustice is very great. The as- sessment of stocks and bonds is nearly always double taxation. as the physical property which they repre- sent has already been taxed oncc. But if we are to go through that form of folly. it should not be made to bear less heavily on the rich than on thrifty persons of the middle class. Do we want our system cf taxation to discourage all property holdings except by millionaires?

JUNEAU hIGH WINS
 FROM DOUGLAS LADS

Juneau trimmed Douglas in Jaxon's rink last night, but until the whistle blew. closing the last spasm. many of the Juneau rooters were in a state bordering on heart failure. This was the third game of the series between the high school basketball teams of the towns of Juneau and Douglas and last nights results gives Juneau lead of one game. The exhibition from start to finish was thrillingly exciting, even though the first half looked all Juneau.
 The game opened promptly and in less than three seconds Juneau made basket. From this time on until the half was over the Juneau lads had everything coming their way. Casey moved like a wildcat. sweeping every thing in his path. McKinnon and the forwards also distinguished them selves. At the end of the half the score stood Juneau, 16; Douglas, l.
 Both teams put in their substitutes and the second half opened. The isl and lads came back into their regular form and forced the going to such pur- pose that the lopsided score began to equalize. While Juneau was getting four more, Douglas annexed fourteen, and it is said that if the whistle had kept silent another five minutes the Island lads would have tied or passed the Juneau score. Oliver was the bright and scintillatlng star for Doug lds and Substitute Garns also covered himself with glory.
 The next game between Juneau and Douglas will be played Saturday night of this week at Douglas. Juneau will, however. play the Juneau Athletic club in Jaxon's rink Friday night of this week.

PEOPLE OF JUNEAU ARE CONFRONTED BY FUEL
NEW YORK IGNORANT
 ABOUT THE NORTH

One of the leading business houses of this city has come in contact with another instance of the appalling ig' norance of Eastern business men with reference to conditions in Alaska about which even school children should be familiar. In this instance, the Juneau business house has been inconvenienced because nobody about a New York wholesale house knew anything about it and because "the freight agents here in New York" say that navigation has closed in Alaska.
 But read the letter. The Juneau house had sent an emergency order that required 10 days to reach New York by mail, and here is the reply that it received:
 "Gentlemen: We received your or der which you sent on Dec. 30 on Jan. Sth. enclosing check. The freight agents here in New York inform us that in making shipment to Alaska this time of the year they would not accept shipment without guarantee that we would be responsible for the shipment, as according to indications at the present time, conditions of mak, ing shipment to Alaska. owning to the closed navigation would have to be made at our risk.
 "we shall make this shipment by American Hawaiian Steamship Co. from New York through to Seattle, care of Alaska Steamship Co.,, Pier l.
 "We have also been informed that in drawing draft that while our bank would draw draft with bill of lading attached, it would no doubt take sev- eral months before payment would be made on same. We have never made shipments to Alaska before. and if this was the open season, We would have shipped this immediately. drawing draft through our bank"
 The Juneau house used some plain language in reply to the rambling New York epistle, which had been only g days in transit from New York to Juneau. saying, amongother things:
 We would suggest to your well informed CD freight agents and bank. CT if they would give 15 minutes to a study of Alaska they would sustain the surprise of lifetime to learn that Juneau is an ice.free port the year round; that six steamship lines Qp- crate from twelve to fifteen ships throughout the winter between it and Seattle. They would thank their stars If the climate where they live were as favorable as that at Juneau, where steamers enter and clear 365 days in the year without the aid of iee-break- CTS. They would find only three days time is consumed in a trip from Seat tie to Juneau"
