The occidental reader who shrugs his
shoulders dcploringly over the evils OF
Indian caste has little conception or
what suffering the custom Involves.
Its tragedies extend even TO the hum

Prince Bojidar Karageorgevitch and
chrOnicled in his Enchanted India

FOR KETCHIKAN

Representative James P. Daly has asked seattle people to aid Ketchlkan In her efgorts to retain the trade that attaches to the American fisheries industry of Alaska.
 The Seattle Times or May 14 con- talns an interview with alr Daly.
 oKetchlkan is arranging to make a aght for the Alaska halibut indus try. which. since the completion Of the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad. has been looking toward Prince Rupert, rom which the fresh fish are shipped in bond to Chicago.
 Before the completion Of the rail- road. said James Daly member Of the Alaska Territorial Legislature. "Ketchikan was 9 large shipping point for the American halibut fishermen. Many ran into Ketchiisan from the banks and transshipped their catch to Seattle. while others brought their cargoes direct to this city
 Prince Rupert is two days closer to Chicago than Seattle and when the road was finished the fishermen immediately began to make their shipments direct. putting their car goes through in bond Ketchikan be- gan to lauguish-
 New Regulations Sought
 At the solicitation Of the people Of Ketchikan. the Alaska Legislature put through a memorial asking the secre- tary of commerce to make a regula- ton that all American goods shipped in bond from vessels of American reg istry be sent through on American port. and that efforts be made by the Department Co obtain for Ketchi. kan terminal rate.
 "If this plan is carried out, the haii- but from the American vessels will be shipped from Ketchikan and the town win enjoy tho trade in supplies. gas ollne. equipment. ice and other re- quisites of fishing business that 1t had before the fishermen shifted the port.
 "Ketchikan buys about 95 per cent. Of its merchandise from Seattle and, in my judgment. 1t would be a good thing for this city to get behind this plan formulated to rehabilitate Ket- chikan as a shipping point"

 ADDRESS OF COMMERCIAL CLUB ON LICENSE QUESTION
...-l-l-ilil'-lllllllllIl

In order to appreciate the conditions fully we give the following estimate, based upon the city auditors report for the year ending April 9th, 1915: City taxes, real and personal
 property .............................S56. .2O0.71 License money collected by
 the Clerk of the District
 Court, Div No. 1, at Ju-
 neau and paid into the mu-
 uicipal treasury .................... 29,145.9S
 Total ............................... ...sS5, ,s46.69 Amount of money received
 by the city from licenses of
 liquor houses and from the
 tax upon the personal prop
 erty situated therein......... 24,353.00
 Balance -........................s s5s 99s.69 This S25.85c.OO is nearly
 ono-third of the total rev
 enue of the city Amount city will collect from
 taxes upon personal prop
 erty in liquor houses and
 from these licenses if the
 city goes dry......................--.S00 GOO co Expense of city including
 street work. lights, fire de-
 partment, etc. -...-...............S65,Sl SlO.32 Cost of school ..................... l9,l37.1l
 Total expense of city......SS4,4 ,44T.48 Present city indebtedness--$29 656.00 Comparing these figures it will be seen that under the present condi- tions. the revenue Of the city is SS5,- 346.69 and the expenses of the city are SS4.43743. Without this revenue from the personal tax and licenses the total revenue of the city would be S59.993.69. leaving further indebt- edness of $24.453.74 which, taken with the present indebtedness of the city, would give a total indebtedness of S54,- i0974
 We consider it the duty of every man and every woman who is a citi- zen of the United States and over the age of twenty-one years Co so to the polls and express themselves on this question. in order that the results will represent what the majority de- sire.
 We believe that if you give this mat ter your full and earnest considera- ton you will make the following con- clusions;
 That it is necessary that licenses for the sale of liquor to be issued within the corporate limits of Juneau, because:
 That we should do justice to the liquor dealer and not close him up with only a few days notice. Busi- ness suffers by a radical change but not by constructive legislation.
 2.-That the liquor dealers pay 29fo or about one third of taxes, and it is necessary that the city have this money for the support of our schools and for municipal purposes.
 Remember that the election will be held at the City Hall. on the 24th day of May. 1915. That we should not voluntarily subject ourselves. our neighbors. our town nor our schools to any financial difficulty or hardship, which will result if we deprive them of the revenue from the licensed li- quor houses and from the tax upon the personal property which these houses contain.
