THAT TERRITORIAL TREASURY

During the late Territorial cam-
 paign, most of the nublic speakers
 and spell-binders laid much stress On
 the amount of money the Legislature
 would have at it's command when 1t
 meets in March next. Some of thes.
 optimists stated that there would be
 at least three-quarters of a million
 dollars in the Territorial Treasury
 for the Legislature to appropriate.
 Where they got this imposing figure
 was not stated. They spoke in most
 cases, as if this quite tidy sum was
 already safely slowed away in the
 Territorial exchequer. The fact re-
 mains. however. that the gentleman who had visions of this kind were in- dulging in a general assumption only. There is now In the Territorial Treas ury about $220,000, and, while there is a substantial amount due the Ter ritory from the larger canning cori,- panies, and while the Territory has prosecuted a successful suit in the Circuit Court of Appeals for the col lection of Alaska taxes due, the Ter ritorial Treasury has not as yet teen fattened in any way by taxes paid by these concerns. AS matter of cold fact, it does not appear that the big cannery. companies intend to pay their Territorial taxes, following the decision by the Circuit of Appeals, unless the Supreme Court of the Uni ted States has passed upon their case. In other words it is alleged that they are now preparing an appeal to the Court of last resort. If this be the case, the three-quarters of a million dollars will not be available because of the low visibility, when the Legis- iature convenes; nor in all probabil- ity will it be available, should the Territory again be successful. until the Legislature of 1919 assemblies. Therefore, instead of money to burn," as has been so gleefully antic- ipated, the incoming Legislature may have to exercise the strictest economy in appropriating the funds of the Ter ritory. If there be any "pork-hunt- CTS" among the personnel of the next Legislature, they should be warned in time. The pork barrel" may be quite empty.-Juneau Empire.

tonic allies be decisive victors, they would be in a position to do as they liked with the cockpit of Europe" On the other hand should they be subdued, and sue for peace, 1t would follow that they must withdrew iron, Belgium and restore: it or pay 1t a sizeable indemnity. However, if the belligerents can decide what shall be done with Belgium, the path to peace may be made less thorny than it is today.
