AN ALASKAN SLOGAN
The Citizen suggests this as an All Alaska Slogan:
 ALASKA CAN PAY THE
 NATIONS WAR DEBT"

Alaska can do it and will do it, if the people of the United States and the govern ment will only awake to Aaska's boundless riches and resources. Properly developed un- der government encouragement Alaska's tax able wealth (during the period pending the maturity of the Liberty bond and Victory bond issues) should so increase as to pro- duce sufficient fund to discharge that debt.
 One mine in Alaska alone paid $2,300,- OOO income tax last year. Hundreds of equal ly profitable properties await development. Let our government exercise as much fore sight in helping to bring other properties to the productive stage as private investors have shown and there will be literally hundreds of such properties producing gold, silver, copper, platinum, tungsten and tin.
 Now is the time to start the campaign for All-Alaska. Millions of money made in munitions will be idle seeking investment. If Uncle Sam will take up the Alaska problem in serious earnest many of those millions will come here for investment If we start campaign based upon that war cry: Alaska can pay the Nations war debt," that war cry will be echoed by every newspaper in the United States.
 Keep it before the people. Stamp it on every envelope you send Outside. Print it on your letter-heads. Insert it in your adver- tisements. Carry it at the head of every newspaper in Alaska Send the word around the world: Alaska can pay the Nations war debt"

GOOD BOOSTER MEETING HELD
 LAST EVENL!NG

Before large and very enthusi- astic meeting of the Fairbanks Com mercial Club MT. Ryan, the personal representative of Secretary Lane, de- livered brief address, giving a few of his impressions of the interior and stating what he thot the club mem- bers should do to further the develop. ment of the interior. While unable to divulge any part of his conliden- tial report to the secretary he show ed plainly that he was very favor ably impressed by what he has seen during the past few months, and that in his opinion the interior is far from being worked out. He assured the members of the support of the secretary in every good move in the development of the country. brief and very favorable comparison was made with similarly located coun- tries in Europe.
 Following the address of Mr. Ryan several of the members of the Ameri- can Mining Congress gave brief talks concerning work which they are do- ing in the interest of the mining game. While not yet ready for pub lication the preliminary reports show that something very good is coming, not only concerning the future power plant for the interior but concerning the available gold gravels and quartz 
 Several questions were asked of MT. Ryan and other speakers result ing in the strongest kind of declara- ton that Alaska can get the needed legislation if the citizens will only do some boosting and follow up heir to congress by sendirg a and not relying or the reports of government agents,

GET TOGETHER

It is a commonly accepted fact that united action is much more effective than scattered effort. One man alone cannot accomplish as much as several men all working together for the same end. And the amount that can be accomplished varies in direct ratio with the number of men actively and unitedly working for it. All of this is well known and is demonstrated every day. Given the men, with the proper spirit with all their energy directed towards the same end, the with what it would be if tackled by men work ing at cross purposes with desultory methods and lack of unity even tho there be the same number of men engaged
 This all holds good at any task, but it is especially true of the development of a coun- try or community. Every one who has any faith in the future knows that Alaska and the interior particularly, is bound to develop to an extent that is almost inconceivable at present. And they also know that this devel- opment will mean prosperity and rich reward to those who further and take part in it, in direct proportion to the size of the part which they take. Therefore, every one who is really interested in the future of Alaska, is ready and anxious to do his share of the work re- qulred to bring about development and to has ten the era of prosperity that will surely fol- low it closely.
 But this is gigantic task. There are none too many men on the job now, and no part of their effort should be wasted in futile working at cross purposes But more i'm portant than this, the efforts of those who are sincerely working for the interests of the ter ritory should not be set at naught by others also living here, who are acting the part of the parasite-living off the country, and at the same time doing it harm by persistently and perniciously knocking it. As was stated before, the men who are on the job at present to undertake this monumental task are not so that anything of the sort can be 
 It would be quite fitting that one of the first steps to be taken by those who are earn estly working for the good of the territory should be the elimination of the knocker, eitl- CT by conversion into booster, or, if the case is chronic, by indicating to the person in question that his abensce is preferable to his presence. Surely his place in the community could better be filled by one who lifts and boosts
 After this the next important step is to get together. That is of prime importance, and cannot be over estimated. Of course, it will not fit in with the ideas of those people who are so self-centered and SO conceited that once they get any position of responsibility theyl

ALASKA WANTS TO DO TT.

Alaska not only wants to but can and will pay the Naticn's great war debt, if all lowed to do so, just as the great undeveoped West paid the debt incurred during the war of the rebellion.
 Practically all of that region west of the Mississippi river was undeveloped at the close of that war. The U. s. granted to its soldiers grant of land. They spread out broadcast turnout the west. The opportunities given to them they improved Farm, forest, mine came into being, and new wealth dug from the bosom of Mother Earth came into being. That great t-debt incurred that men might be free gave to free men free access to the land and its yield. That wealth in turn gave birth to great enterprises of transportation and of manufacturing. Great cities sprang up in the land that beforetime was a wilderness And great increase of population ensued
 All this new wealth, all these new cities these new enterprises, new people, all became new sources of revenue to the government That government aided in the establishment of those enterprises by the use of its credit, by grants of land or grants of money, and the west grew, prospered and paid off the great civil war debt. There is no doubt about it. That is what happened.
 Now Alaska doesn't ask for any grants of land or of money. It wants the govern ment to make profitable investments of its money in enterprises that will add to govern ments revenues. It wants railroads, wagon roads, and power plants. Cheap transporta- tion, cheap power, that's all And the govern ment can afford us that cheap transportation and cheap power without loss of single pen ny, for Alaska will pay back in freight charges and power rates the cost of installation, operation and in addition there to

BUY $4,000
Of C|TY'S BONDS
Sinking Fund and George B,
Gibbons BY Up1Five Issues of
Municipal Securities

The sinking fund commission of the
city and George B.. Gibbons & Com
pany of New York yesterday pur-
chased $420,0 900 worth of tax evenue
and tax anticipation bonds of this city
at a rate of interest of 4.73, one of
the lowest rates which the city has
been called to pay in the past few
years, when some bond issues have
been sold at s, 5h and even 6 per
cent. interest.
The awards yesterday by City
Treasurer Ferd G~arretson were of
five separate bond issues, as follows:
Tax revenue bonds, 1917, due January
II, 1920, $4,000; tax revenue bonds,
1918, due July II, 1919, 500, 900; tax
1919, $4,000; tax revenu bonds,
1918, due January II, 1920, 1000;
tax anticipation bonds, 1919, due
January IT, 1920, 5000, 600.
The tax revenue bonds are issues
which are to take care of the moneys
due the city for delinquent taxes. The
bonds will be bought up by the city
as soon as the payments of the back
taxes come in in a sufficient sum. 1t
is expected that by July the city will
be able to purchase back $100,0 600
worth of the bonds.
p There were three other bidders for
the bonds. They were S. N. Bond &
Company, of New York, who offered
to purchase the bonds at 4.75 per
cent. interest; the Perth Amboy Trust
Company, who offered to take them
at 5 per cent. interest; J.. c. Rippel &
Company of Newark, who bid at ga
per cent. interest.
In accordance with the Pierson
nance laws the bids for the purchase
of bonds are made on the basis of in
terest rate. Consequently the bidder
who offers to take the bonds at the
lowest interest rate becomes the sue
cessful bidder, whereas, If one or
more bidders offer the same rate of
interest, then the bidder who shall
offer the greatest additional premium
shall be awarded the sale of the
bonds.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND never

Applicants for Insurance Often Re
jected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there Is one preparation
that has been very successful in over
coming these conditions. The mild
and healing influence of DR.. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root is soon realized. 1t stands
the highest for its remarkable record
of success.
An examining physician for m of
the prominent Life Insurance Compan-
les, in an interview of the subject.
made the astonishing statement that
one reason why so many applicants for
insurance are rejected is because kid
ney trouble is SO common to the Amer
lean people. and the large majority of
those whose applications are declined
do not even suspect that they have the
disease. 1t is on sale at all drug stores
in bottles OF two sizes, medium and
large.

this great preparation send ten cents
