MODERN LIVING A TAX
ON VITALITY

Modern living is a big tax
on the vitality Of the nation.
The woman of that splendid
physique Of our pioneer days,
who was the mother of the
West, is fast disappearing
from memory. The woman
of today Is an anaemic, sick
ly, always tired, exhausted
type. The reason for this is
simple. The call of social
duty has imposed on the
woman Of today responsible
ties. The fact that she has
house work and other domes-
tic duties to perform only
tends to make her life harder.
Many women think they
are suffering from various
diseases but don't really
know what ails them. They
eat too much, too irrigularly
and fail to take healthy out
door exercises as nature de-
mands. Food lies heavily on
the stomach, sours, gases
form and poisons are pump
ed into their blood. All
kinds Of diseases of course
are bound to follow.

ENGLAND

LONDON, July 10.-An analysis oil
government statistics made by the
Fabian Society shows that in the
United Kingdom there are 100000
persons whose incomes exceed $500
year, 100000 with incomes be
tween $500 and $500 and 1920, OOC
who receive less than $500 annually
1t is calculated that the average wage
of the adult laboring man equals
$3.50 week and of the adult woman
worker but SITS weekly. Since 1895
the purchasing power of a pound has
declined to little more than half; that
is five dollars now goes no further
than 1895 did in Great Britain in
1895.
Out of national annual income of
eleven billion dollars, something over
a billion and half are absorbed in
rent, two billion and half go for in
terest and 100000 for profits
and salaries.
Peace has its tolls no less than war,
for in 1913 there were 1853 persons
killed and 222,O61 injured in industrial
accidents with 625 cases of poison and
anthrax in factories. resulting in "a
deaths.

LIKE FARM
LABOR

PARIS, July 10.-Service at the
front seems to indispose men for
work in the fields The military au-
thorities gave great many leaves to
reseryists to permit them to do the
work of seeding; they were obliged
later to ask the local authorities to
send back to the front all men who
neglected the work for which they
were sent home.
An employment bureau organized to
recruit farm help to replace the men
at the front succeeded in placing only
$500 refugees from Belgium and
Northern France. Spaniards, Kagyles
from Algeria and Moors were tried I'M
successfully, yet, thanks to the
women, the total wheat acreage is
11,446,256 acres against last years
12,986,660, of which $4,000 acres
were in invaded territory.
Reports from the eleven regions
into which France is divided for pur-
poses of statistics give the wheat crop
prospect as averaging 72 which is
considered quite satisfactory.
This average is about the same as
that of last year. Eight departments
show up better than last year and
eight not so well.
The departments that were invaded
and are still partiarry occupied show
the astonishingly high percentage of
rs.
The cash wheat market in France
is paralyzed by the governments re-
quirement that no wheat may be
shipped from one department into
another unless there is shipped back
in return an equivalent quantity of
flour.
Barley, oats and nearly all other
crops promise as well as wheat.

MELBOURNE, Australia, July 10
Australia has set number of records
for distance including the despatch of
troops thousands of miles to the fir
ing line and the extraordinary ex-
ploits of the submarine AE-2 in COW
ering 10000 miles before her loss at
the Dardanelles. Hundreds of wounded
Australians are also to be brought
back to the Commonwealth from the
hospitals at Alexandria as soon as the
heat of the Red Sea has lessened The
influx will begin about next October
or November, but already steps are
being taken to cope with the situation.
The Red Cross will bear the brunt of
the burden and arrangements for
money, supplies, hospital room and
other necessities are being made.
Many offers of private homes are
forthcoming although it will be sew
eral months before the wounded men
arrive.

ORGANIZATION OF
KENNECOTT MINE

NEW YORK, July 1.-The newly
organized Kennecott Copper Corpora
ton owning the famous Bonanza cop
per property in Alaska, for some time
past has been earning at the rate of
more than $5OO,OO0l per month, or
$6,O00,00O per year. 1t is now pro-
ducing at the rate of 6O,OO0,OOO pounds
of copper year.
On the earnings, which have been
at the rate of nearly $3.50 per share
on 100000 shares, including the
40O,000,O0 shares in the treasury for
conversion of $10,O00,000 of bonds re-
Gently sold it is fair to assume that
the initial dividend payment on the
stock is not far off.
The Kennecott Copper Corporation
has been organized with the election
of the following officers and directors:
President, Stephen Birch; vice-presi-
dent, w. P. Hamilton; secretary, c. T.
Ulrich, and treasurer, E. S. Pegram.
The directors: Stephen Birch, w.
P. Hamilton and Elliott Bacon, of J.
P. Morgan & Company; John N.
Steele, Silas W. Eccles, Samuel
Clarke, Simon Guggenheim and Sew
ard Prosser, president of the Bank

large sales have recently been made
in the outside market around $25 q

BERNIE, Switzerland, July 10.-An
amendment to the Swiss Federal Con-
stitution, providing for the levying of
a special war tax to meet the expenses
incident to mobilization of the army
for the maintenance of Swiss neutral
ity, which was submitted to a refer
endum vote of the entire people has
been accepted by an overwhelming
majority, the vote being 435,5OO to
26,5OO.
The new taxes are both on property
and income. Persons possessing less
than $4,000 worth of property or earn,
ing less than $500 year are exempt
The rate of tax is progressive, rang
ing from 81 to $15 per thousand on
property and from S. to 500 per
thousand on income.
Stock companies will be taxed at a
rate rising from So to $40 per thou
sand dollars of capital. The rate will
vary according to the rate of dividend
paid.
The campaign on behalf of the war
tax amendment to the constitution
had the support of all the political
parties. The tax is expected to yield
about $10,000.000. The remainder OF
the Swiss Indebtedness on account of
the war will have to be funded
through the issue of bonds. The
present cost Of the war to Switzerland
is estimated at nearly $5.00O,OO0 a
month. ,sstaii

CHURCH Al | OWS
LEPE RS TO
MARRY

PETROGRAD, July 10.-The Rus
sian Medical Council has informed the
Holy Synod that there is no objection
to lepers marrying lepers, although
the union of leper to healthy mate
should not be allowed. This is the
councils answer to the question
raised by the Russian church.
The influence of the parents on
their offspring in the spread of the dis
ease is considered weak, since the
percentage of infant leprosy is very
small, only about per cent. Fertility
also decreases among lepers as the
disease advances. Leprosy is not be-
lieved to be hereditary disease, but
one due to contact. For a leprous
mother to part with her infant is
painful, although necessary if the
child is to be saved. But marriage
brings at least some happiness into
the tragedy Of disease-stricken lives.

appropriation for the purpose Of

of the under water craft. A new style
of battery for furnishing the motive

SUPREME COURT
CLEANS Up
CALENDAR

WASHINGTON, July 1O.-Adjourn.
ment of the Supreme Court for the
summer months marks the completion
of 25 years operation of the present
judicial system, instituted by the
Evarts law of 1890. This law created
the nine circuit courts of appeals,
which virtually became a sort of sub
supreme courts to relieve the highest
tribunal of the great pressure of cases
which were congesting its docket and
contributing to the laws delays.
At the opening of the new system
the Supreme Court was three years
behind in it's work, and much more
time elapsed before cases were de-
cided. Three years passed between
the time case was docketed there
and the time its was presented, COM
petite, to the justices for decision.
Today, the Supreme Court is only
one year behind on its work. During
the 25 years, 1926 cases have been
filed there-an average of 430 a year,
more than one for every day. During
that time the court has disposed of
11,419 which included 1900 waiting
when the new system went into effect.
But for the latter the court now would
be abreast of it's work.
During the court year just ended,
528 cases were filed and $50 were
disposed of and the docket now con-
tains 535, the smallest number dur.
ing the last six years. Only three
years in the courts history saw more
cases disposed Of. They were 1890,
1912 and 1913.

MEN QUIT ] 0 B s
AT THE RIVER
C'A||N||NE[:RY

Arrivals on the train yesterday
brought down the news that the fish
ermen at the Copper River Packing
Co., at Abercrombie had gone on q
strike. The difficulty is over the
amount paid by the company for the
fish. There are three classes of fish
ermen employed. The contract men,
who we're brought from Seattle get
paid 11ac per fish, but they are guar
anteed gross earnings of $500. Other
fishermen, whose gear is furnished by
the company receive 2 cents per fish,
while the third class, who furnish
their own gear get 21a cents per fish.
There has been about 36 men in all
employed at the cannery, and they
conferred and agreed to ask Mr.. Han
ley, the superintendent for a wage
scale of 4c a fish, and an allowance
of $500 per month on their board.
The men have been having their board
deducted from their earnings. When
the demands of, the men were pre-
scented to Mr.. Han1ey, he said that
he considered them excessive, but
that if they would make a reasonable
demand he would meet it. According
to the story told by one of the fisher
men, Mr.. Hanley would not state what
he considered reasonable, so the men
decided to stick to their original de-
mands.
The last fishing done in the river
was at the close of Thursdays work.
At that time all the nets were taken
from the river, and no fish have been
caught since. The men claim that the
fish have been running so poorly that
they have been unable to make wages
For the last three weeks. It is said
that the superintendent has tele-
graphed to Seattle for more men.

ALASKA MAY HAVE
POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS

Postal savings banks are coming to
Alaska, it is indicated.
1t will be remembered that the Tan
ner memorial to Congress, passed at
the last legislative session, urged that
the banks be established Today a
letter was received from the Third
Assistant Postmaster General, under
date of Junt %. 1t was addressed to
Governor Strong, and reads as fol-
lows:
Consideration Is now being given
to the extension of the facilities of the
Postal Savings System to the princi.
pal post offices in the Territory Of
Alaska and in connection with the
proposed action it is important that
arrangements be made for the proper
disposition of all postal savings de-
posts.
1.-THE Federal Postal Savings Act
provides that the funds received at
each post Office shall be preferably
deposited in local banks which may
qualify to receive them, it being
stipulated that only banks Organized
under national or state laws and sub
ject to national or state supervision
and examination shall be eligible to
qualify as such repositories. There
is prohibition in the Federal Re-
serve Act against the deposit of postal
savings funds in banks not belonging
to the Federal Reserve System but
this is not applicable to Alaska and
in view of the recent enactment by
your legislature of comprehensive
banking law providing for supervision
and examination of territorial banks,
apparently, in addition to the two
national banks in Alaska, all solvent
Incorporated banks organized under
the laws of Alaska will be eligible to
qualify as repositories for postal saw
ings funds If they desire to do so.
Private banks are held not to be or
ganized within the meaning of the
law and are therefore ineligible to re-
