ONE OF THEM THINKS RETURNED SOLDIERS
 SHOULD BE EXEMPT

PERSEVERANCE, June 5.-To the Editor-I see that notices are being posted stating all male persons re. siding in the Territory of Alaska are required to pay tax of $500 per head as a school tax. Of course there are few exceptions, such as soldiers, sailors, etc., who are still in the service; but great many of us who have been in the service, have borrowed money to pay our way back to Alaska, and it seems to me that it would be doing justice if the lawmakers had placed the ex-service men among those who are exempted from that tax.
 Of course, it's subject that con cerns everybody, but just now think $500 bill looks pretty big if it's stacked up alongside the average ex-service mans bank roll. happen to be an ex-soldier, and I know that it wasn't at all hard to spend what
 there was left of $30.0O per month after our insurance was paid, and our donations home were made. So,
 think, and in fact I know, that we
 should be included in the exemp tions, but the way it is worked We are not.
 | Sincerely,
 JAMES H. FOSTER.

A VERY PERTINENT INQUIRY
Valued Exchange Puts the Question
to Rising Boys and Young Men

What is the reason that not more
az our young men of to-day are be-
coming tradesmen and mechanics, is
the question often asked of late years
by men of business ability. At pres
ent very few young men are serving
apprenticeship TO become tradesmen
and mechanics, all receiving high sal
aries. The demand is going to in
crease from time to time; because this
great country of ours needs more
tradesmen and mechanics to keep on
the road of progress. The time is
coming when the man who is not a
tradesman or mechanic, will be about
as useful as wagon without wheels.
We can't all be stump speakers and
figure heads, stenographers, book-keep-
ers, counter jumpers, clerks, because
there won't be enough stumps for us
all. 1t is labor which has built up
this great country of ours where it is
today, and labor must be continued
if we wish to see this country keep
on progressing. There must be men,
boys, women and girls TO do the COM
mon, everyday, eyery-hour things of
life, and the person who is unwilling
to take his place at the bottom and
advance in the ordinary way, is more
than liable to be naturally halted be-
fore he reaches the top. Think this
over.
