AS TO ENFORCING PROHIBITION LAW

Jealous folks-and jealous folks those who the wheels turn-have inquired of The Empire to the prospect successful enforcement of the of the and-as it will January 1st, next. Some of those making iquiry Aaskans while others live in the States One inquiry from New Haven Conn, and another from Columbus, Ohio. The others are from the Pacific Coast.
 To all these The Empire says unhesitatngy that the law will be enforced if it is within the capacity of officials to enforce and believe it is In the First Division Judge Jennings of the United States District Court, District Attorney Smser and Marshal Tanner constitute of the strongest of law enforcers that could possibly be assembled one pose United States Marshal to enforce the prohi- bon laws and all other laws and that his deputies will be instructed that all aw-breakers look alike to him. AS Territorial Senator, Marshal Tanner voted for the submission of the prohibition question the people of the Territory, and with him the will of the people when ascertaned, should be the law There fore he will not only be dischargng his duty when he enforces the prohibition law but he will be enforcing that which he believes ought be the law in Alaska because of the votes of the Alaska people.
 And further than that, those interested who be assured that public sentiment the North will be behind the law enforcers in the prohibition matter in all other matters The citizens Alaska believe law enforcement, and they will cooperate in every possible way with all those who charged with the responsibility to enforce law and who attempt in good faith to discharge their responsibility

per cent. increase on both individual and corporation taxes for 1916, to be collected the coming June, would yield $165, 100000. Then the way is pointed out whereby the income tax law can be made to produce $340,- 000,000 additional in June next year with no change in the corporation tax. This would be done by lowering the income tax from $3,000 to $1,5O0 for unmarried persons and from $4,- 900 to S2,0o0 for married persons and making material increase in the supertaxes
 The present excess tax enacted last winter would be made applica- ble this year, bringing in na addi- tional $, $226,000,000 Increases sug- gested for next year would raise he aggregate from this source to s426. 100000 next year
 Some of the more important new tax suggestions in McAdoos memor- andum and the estimated revenue from them follow: 4 Taxes on imports now admitted ire, $206,000,O00; freight transports ton receipts, $1OO,OOO,OOO; exise tax on sugar, $100O00,O00; refined petrol. cum $75,000,000, stamp taxes on all amusements, $75,000,000; distilled spirits, $73,OO00,OOO, miscellaneous stamp taxes, $52,000.000; passenger transportation receipts, $35,000,000; smoking and chewing tobacco $25,- 0,000; automobiles, trucks and mo- torcycles, S2O,000,00o; cigarettes, ST. 000,000, recitfied spirits, $12,500,000; cigars, $11.O0O,O00; exise tax on mu sical instruments, $7,000,000; xeise tax on glucose, $6,000,000; denatured alcohol, $5,000,000.

THE SELECTIVE DRAFT

There exists in minds the idea that selec- tve draft of men means conscripton only Of raising an army. No greater could be made than that of believing that seective made necessary by the unwilngness of men to volunteer.
 As matters stand today recruiting offices are open to all men of suitable age and physical fitnnss The result is that recruiting is marked by the enlistment of many men who would be much useful in other capacities than they be in the army or navy A young man who was to be graduated this from technical school finds that his school will closed earlier than usual because of war. sees it the obvious duty of the student who get the or into the navy is to do at once thus declaring his patriotism saving his selfrespect. retaining the esteem of his friends rebukng the hesitan stacker He is, let us say, mechanical engineer, chemist, an agronomst, civil engineer. electrician, pert animal husbandry, specially prepaded for some other expert work. If he enlists private, yielding to the emotional appeal of the situation. he is performing the part of patriot, of course but he might be far useful in less heroic role. The higher call of patriotism is, all is sad the call to the efficient to be efficient he be. whether the battle line in cornfield where the material for bread horse feed being grown for the needs of the army.
 The principle of the selective draft is to obvate the disaster of crpplng the industries without which no modern army, however large be efficient, well to suitable for military service.

WASHINGTON, April 25. House leaders who think the rich should pay the bulk of the taxes to finance American participation in the war were disappointed over the tax plans submitted by Secretary of the Treas. ury McAdoo: The data, which are before the House Ways and Means committee, were, however. submitted by McAdoo solely for the informa- tion of the members.

PATRIOTISM AND THRIFT

(St. Louis RepuDHc.)
 This country's wealth and resources such that there is danger of serious shortage of any sort of necessities, though the should touch us much more nearly than believe it will It does not follow from this fact however, that the people of the United States may safely properly continue to live the extravagant scale which has been common since the days of prosperity set in.
 It is estimated that this years war expenses in the United States will up to $3,0000O0,00O, and much of that money must be raised by taxes, if the Presidents plans followed they should be fol lowed.
 This means that the American citizen who is not n situation to give his personal service to the try must do his bit by paying substantial portion oi the family income to the tax gatherer. If the is prolonged that portion will become larger It is likely that part of the tax will be upon incomes much smaller than those which taxed. and stamI taxes likely to be encountered Both of these methods used in Civil War days
 In order that the tax shall cause the leasi hardship and the least harm, and in order that the paying power of the country shall be raised to the highest possible point, it is essential that there shall be waste. Thrift should be the watchword of the non-combatant American.
 Every with income ought to handle it SC that he shall have surplus. Opening savings banl account in this day is than matter of wst personal policy. It is patriotic to

 Herbert c. Hoover's acceptance of the Chairman ship of the American Food Board of the National Defense Council is accompanied by impressive warn ings. There must be much greater production or food in this country and waste must be eliminated There must be end of speculation and seflndul- gence and every of surplus must go to the Allies
 The work done by Mir Hoover in Belgium and Northern France has revealed in him mastery Of organization and expert knowledge of food produc- tion, distribution and values that amounts to genius All the Allied nations have profited by his counsel and Herr Adoph Batocki on his appointment as food dictator of Germany made haste to consult him. MT. Hoover is familiar with food conditions in every beligerent country. When such man tells us that Foremost duty is food production and food economy for the salvation of our Allies as well ourselves acquiesence becomes imperative
 We not all to become farmers. We are not all to drop the rifle for the hoe and the spade.
