BUSINESS MEN
 ASK PEOPLE 10
 W0TE FOR LICENSE

At n meeting of the Juneau Com
 mercial Club last evening in tho coun.
 ell chamber at the city hall. set of resolutions, submitted by Grover C..
 Vim. calling the voters attention to the cost Of running the city for Q year the income, the present indebtedness etc, were read and adopted.
 Among those who voiced their sen- timents briefly were: Mayor John Reck. W. w Shorthill, Grover c. Vim and F. j. Fisher.
 Mayor Beck called the attention of the gathering to the fact that 20 mills was an that could be levied against property under Che present law Gf the town goes dry 1t means that the schools must close for want of funds as the saloon licenses arc the only means at present by which to raise sufficient revenue. The street work might I've discontinued, but 1t Is diE- lerent with the schools By means of the saloon licenses this year. ] be- lieye the city will be able to get out of debt by the first of next April. q think the expenses of running the city will be S2OO0O less than chat of last year"
 The resolutions presented by Gro yer c. Vim, Q member of the school board, began with relating that big share of the saloon business of the city was with outside people who might easily be supplied in some oth. ] CT way; that the short time allowed the saloon keepers to close up their business was depriying them Of guar. anteeed right, having been engaged l in a legalized business; that the state of Washington, which was voted dry at the last election, gave the saloon men 14 months In which Co close up their business.
 The expenses of running Che city last year, as sot forth in the resolu- tions, was SS4.447.4S. including the school budget Of Sls.I3711. The reve. nue for the same year was SS5, ,S4S.65, ' of which S24.453 was derived from sa. loon licenses.
 The present city indebtedness was stated to be S2965G up 10 the first of April Deprived of Che saloon licens- es, the total indebtedness of the city lt Che end of this year would be S54.- iOs7f. figuring on tho basis Of last years expenses; that saloons were paying about one-third Of Che city axes.
 q think that Mir. Winn's statements lre Q fair presentation or the case rom that point of view" Mr. Short. bill responded, "but they are based on the expenses of last year and are not an approximate estimate of the expenses of this year."
 F. J. Fisher. president of the Com. nercial Club. objected to those parts 'f the resolutions which appealed to he sympathy of the voter regarding he probable financial loss to the sa. oon men, stating that they must ake their chances. But as to the ef- 'ect upon the city he said:
 ''l never took drink in my life" ie said, and yet I'm going to vote vet, for the reason that l thinl, the :ity should have a chance to acquire 'ther sources of revenue before 1t is ;ut off from this one"

NATIVES VOTING.

One of the interesting questions that the United States will probably have to decide soon will be the right of certain natives of Alaska to vote. At the regular election held last November natives were permitted to vote in one or more places. and 1t is understood that this right was ac- corded them by the election judges on the ground that the treaty be- tween Russia and the United States provided that they be allowed full citizenship rights.
 A careful perusal of tho treaty does not seem to indicate that any body who was not Q Russian citi- zen at the time of the transfer of Alaska to the United States should be given voting rights.
 Article III of the treaty contains the following:
 Tho inhabitants of tho ceded Territory. according to their choice, reserving their natural allegiance. may return to Russia within three

 Postmaster Deal. of Fairbanks, has announced his willingness to do what he can towards getting the postottice established there. and this means big boost for it, for MT. Deal is energetic and persistent and in the pas, has been very success ful in accomplishing what he has undertaken.
 The Fairbanks Commercial club will undoubtedly get busy along the same line, for it is doing everything possible in promoting the welfare of the new camp and the matter of getting a postoffice for the Tolovana will almost certainly come up before that organization at an early date
