EVIDENCE OF DIsCERNME ENT

In discussing the proposed revenue measure in joint committee the mem- bers of the legislature demonstrated again that they are pretty wise in many things. When it came to dis cussing the suggested tax of $100 for daily newspapers, and corresponding sums for other publications, there wasn't much time lost. Representa- tive Nerland in a few words ex- pressed the view that but compara- lively few papers in the territory were making expenses, while at the same time they were doing a world of free advertising for Alaska At tention was called to the $15,0G0 paid each two years by the territory for maintaining a publicity bureau, and Representative Cochrane expressed the opinion that the newspapers gave three times the value without re- nlunerattOn of any kind. And when Representative Ross moved that the newspaper tax be stricken he was sustained by unanimous vote.

A FORTY-NINTH STATE

The United States navy is mining it's own coal in Alaska. Alaskan coal is said to possess a greater proportion of heat units and to be more satisfactory for naval use than any coal mined in the United States. The government also intends to es- tablish a coaling station to supply coal to merchant vessels plying be- tween Seattle and the Orient which will mean a saving of thousands of tons in cargO-carrying capacity on each voyage We may also look to Alaska as another source of oil when our supply runs Out-which, at the present rate of consumption, may happen within a generation-while, with reference to another commodity growing constantly more scarce. the annual growth of the forests in Alas ka would furnish us, with proper con- servation, with perpetual supply Of paper and pulp wood. In fact, Alaska has unlimited resources for our use. It's gold, it's furs and it's fisheries are only trivial propor- t1on of the riches it possesses.
 Now that we are fully aware of these resources, and will undoubtedly take every advantage of them, what are we going to do for Alaska? Alas kans are urging with much emphasis that the territory needs and deserves self government,e instead of govern ment of bureau chiefs at Washington, and they have even proposed that it shall be admitted as a state. Several plans have been suggested. One is that congress be requested to give it's consent to the division of Alaska, the section north of the Yukon to be. come the territory of North Alaska, and the section south of the Yukon to be established as the state of Alaska. This southern territory, it is

argued has not only the resources and the prospects but the existing population to warrant comforting statehood upon it. The admission Of such a state would mean two senators for one thing, with the possibility of a close race for the balance of power in the senate If the region is entitled to statehood, however, that should not be a serious obstacle.
 This is an issue which deserves consideration. Alaska has been gen erally misrepresented and misunder- stood. For more than twenty years after it's purchase by the United States, the possibilities os its wealth was not realized at all. Tho Ame? j. can people thought of Alaska as a cold, desolate country, teeming with reindeer, polar bears and Esl1imos, 8 place where no business could be de- veloped to advantage, and it was to the interest of the fur trading mon opoly to keep that misconception alive. Now, however, it is realized that Alaska is one of the richest treasures in Uncle Sam's diaGem, and that it will eventually have to be treated as such.-Albany, N. Y. Argus.

SANE UTILITY DECISION

The United States supreme court has upheld decisions of Oregon public service commission, that cities cannot compel public utilities to give them free municipal service in exchange for charters.
 In numerous towns free hydrant ser vice, free telephones and free service on street cars had been forced from public utilities, thus casting addi- tional burdens on private patrons.
 The Oregon legislature enacted the Eddy bill to compel the public service commission to really legalize such in equitable contracts, but the governor vetoed the bill as an interference with sound policy.
 To allow city councils or even the people themselves to exact free service at special rates is held an abuse to free passes, on the theory that all such services must be paid for by higher rates charged some users,

THE SUN COMES UP IN DAWSON

Not only Alaska but the northland to the east of us Is looking hope fully toward year of promise It is expected that there will be much de. velopment not only in various parts of Alaska but also in the country tri- butary to Dawson. Speaking on the fine of hopeful promise the Daw- son Daily News says:
 ''The dawn of another summer is breaking over the northland The sun is returning radiant from his winter journey to the Southland With it comes the promise of the best year north of sixty since the halcyon days when Klondikes gold strike dazzled the older parts of earth.
 "The gold was merely the first lure of the sub-Arctic to daring souls. These who came and toiled reaped great rewards. But not all the treas ure, not even a tithe of it, was se- cured by the first onrush.
 Mature has withheld her greater treasure for those yet to explore the land. Silver, gold, and oil, and other riches have been bountifully bestowed upon the northland realm from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Arctic seas to where the frost belt borders the temperate zone.
 "The much harassed older coun- tries are overflowing with idle and dissatisfied men. Wages there are going down, and the future is uncer- tain. Red-blooded men want to get away from such conditions. They want chance to launch out into fields where there is a hope of win ning-where they can start the race of life even and have a fair. free run for the best the land affords. | They find those conditions in the Yukon, Mackenzie and Alaska offer similar inducements. For this req son will there be a rush to the north land this year. Yukon may as well realize it. Not only individuals, but mining companies, operators, experts, traffic people and men of big enter prices also are coming.
 "A bright day is dawning in the north. The sun comes up. Arise and greet it."

South Ferry streetcars and all other
vehicles in Whitehall Street, mot to
mention the rush hour pedestrian traf-
fic, were held up for almost half an
hour about p. NJ. yesterday while
the reserves from the Old Slip police
station battled with a maniac.
The trouble was that John Machado,
whom Sheriff Richardson, of Jackson
County, Mo-, and one of his deputies
had brought here to. have sent back to
Portugal as lunatic. preferred walk
ing to riding in an automobile. When
hf and his guards started from the
Pennsylvania Station for the Portu-
guese Consul's Office at l5 Whitehall
street about p. m. it was with the
greatest reluctance that Machado was
prevailed upon to make the trip in an
automobile.
They found that the Consul's Office
WAS closed for the day and decided to
see if bellevue Hospital would admit
Machado for the night. Although Ma
chado had been most docile travelling
companion throughout the trip from
Kansas City, Sheriff Richardson had no
Bellevue Hospital by way of the sub
way. The sheriff knew from experience
that the subway was full Of lunatics at
p. m, and it was dollars TO dough-
nuts that if he tried it he'd get off
at Bellevue with the wrong man.
He tried to explain this to Machado,
but Machado wouldn't listen to ex-
plantations. AS great favor to his
friend the Sheriff, he said, he had
made the trip from the station in an
automobile, but nothing would per-
suade him to enter one of the vehicles
again. He vas perfectly willing to
