What Is Government 2
Fairbanks Citizen. )

Someone has likened government to factory. The output of government is taxable units. An enlight- ened government devoes itself to the production of taxable units. The people composing government are creators of the National wealth. government which circumscribes the opportunities of it's people to create wealth is a moribund government gov ernment which develops and encourages the crea- tion of opportunities to increase the peoples wealth is a progressive government-a profitable govern ment. Jefferson said: "A just governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed" He might well have added: "A prosperous government aids the governed in their industrial development thereby deserving and obtaining teir consent to be governed"
 Our government has adopted the income tax to produce its revenues The larger the incomes of the governed the greater the revenue of the government Alaska just now, owing to the war and to other well-known conditions is not providing incomes for taxation But Alaska and will provide enorm- ous incomes for taxation if the government will aid in the development of it's industries.
 Alaskas enormous resources are undisputed and unquestioned A policy of conservation has with drawn them from utilization by the people they the government having prohibited private capital from making the most of Alaskas resources to itself provide the means for developing them.
 conservation which hoards but does not utilize in reality conservation which utilizes for useful purposes is provident.
 Let us therefore be not reluctant to request of our government that it shall develop the natural re of Alaska since 1t will not allow private cap ital to do Let us seek it as right. But let us also prove government that such poli- cy of development is not only wise and provident but profitable and essential well.
 great war has brought about almost cessa- tion of productive effort in Alaska But that war has fastened upon the backs of the American people all enormous load of debt. With no new sources of wealth developed, that debt will be burden to at least two generations of the American people. By the intelligent development of Alaskas resources many billions of new wealth will be created during that period. The taxation of this wealth will go far toward relieving the American people of the bur den of the debt. This is a business proposition not a potlatch All Alaska asks is government aid in the development of it's latent wealth It will pay back every dollar invested and in addition.

Protecting Birds.
Chicago Tribune.)

recent Washington dispatch conveyed the i'm presson that due decision of the Supreme Court, the Federal Government could no longer en- force the act protect migratory birds. We are uformed by G. B. Merrill, United States Game Ward Hinsdae, that the dispatch is entirely msiead- ing. The litigation in question involved the Act Of 1913. whereas a law based treaty with Great Britain passed by Congress last year MT Merrill says this law gives the Government full power to provide closed seasons for migratory birds.
 All lovers of wild life well every right mind ed sportsman will be glad to know that Federal pro lection these birds has not been withdrawn They will be happy to learn that the legislature of New York has passed law to extend the time with in which ducks may be shot Long Island.

BERLN'S FATE
HANGS IN BERLIN
German Newspaper Deplores
Moving of Capital to
Rhineland

Berlin, Oct. 21.-Under the caption
Of 1.-THE Murder of Berlin" the Boer-
sen Zeitung. one of the ablest Ger
man newspapers. says the fate of the
city is in the balance, and that it is,
perhaps, too late to save it from be-
coming city of the second-class in
every respect. with the removal of
the capital and the activity in busi-
ness and political sense to some
Rhineland city. 1t is a theory that
has been gaining ground lately and
causing Berlin to lose sleep.
"One day. the financial paper adds,
there will be a fearful awakening
IL the problem that confronts US is
not recognized and solved at the
twelfth hour. The problem is to save
Berlin from destruction"
The paper. then cites the January
riots by the Spartacists from the
wounds of which Berlin has never re-
covered. Then came the March dis
orders. followed by the July trans
pcrtation strike which threw Berlin
Into chaotic state. The strikes
then ensued one after another in an
OF the economic situation led to al
most a boycotting of Berlin as the
chief work center oH Germany, for in
dustry had to be sure of quiet and or
der in it's search for labor, and Berlin
daily was the opposite.
Despite the huge expense, one in
dustry after another left Berlin for
steadier field. Now the win
ter months are coming. already full of
threats of uprising and strikes.
Merchants, politicians and indus
trial leaders have predicted that the
transfer of the Assembly or Reich
stag, would inflict severe blow upon
Berlin, especially if it should lead to
the choice of another capital.
The label imperial capital" and its
enormous labor possibilities have
been Berlin's chief claims to super
iority,- 1t has been the industrial
heart of the empire. Yet say manu-
facturers, labor is now Systematically
laming industry and destroying it.

kidnapping Trail
Leads to Dansey Home

Hammonton, N. J., Oct. 21.-De-
tectives have begun a new inquiry
into the disappearance of 3-year-old
Billy Dansey on the theory that the
kidnapers on the day Billy vanished
drove to the Dansey home and talk
ed with some one in the house.
This turn in the case was caused
by an examination of the wagon
tracks of the buggy in which the
boy is believed to have been taken
from this town.
John Il. Wilson, chief of detectives
of Atlantic county, has satisfied him
self that whoever stole Billy Dansey
took him away in a light buggy, the
tracks of which ran to the main pike
leading to Egg Harbor. These wagon
tracks depart from the main road
near the Dansey home. At a point
100 yards or more from the road
they lead to the Dansey home.
The tracks led to the rear of the
house where Dansey and his wife
slept. At the rear entrance the
tracks were deeply marked, show
ing that the buggy halted there for
a time. Another fact learned is that
when Billy Dansey left his home he
was dressed in new shoes, a new
hat, clean clothes and stockings.
