 Within the next few years the Hues- :ton of how fi, a government may go in public ownership of pubic utilities will have been settled throughout the United States railroad now building into the interior. I. would seem that the initial project is destined to entail other ranHtications aside from build ing and operating railroads. Now tla' the road :$i nearing completion il is found that the. government must go further and provide an outlet ior AL askan products hauled over the road or ultimately lease the entire proJect to private capital, which will operate il after the fashion of the Hill lines and u.he- big railroad companies. sup plying the roads water transportation as well as rail haul.

HOPE FOR McFADDEN BILL
(Frorn Juneau Emp.re)


 That there is still hope for the pas- sage of the McFadden gold bonus bill by Congress for the relief of the gold mining industry is the opinion of per sonss Who have studied the situation in Washington. News of the closing of the closing of the Alaska Gastineau plant ut Thane revived talk in .he Ma tional Capital relative to the bill The shu: down of the big plant at Thane, it .s s:id. is reg:iwded as the first big smash of many that will inev'tahly e. cur in the gold mining ind's'ry if Co. gross does not take some remedial action.
 Not only is the gold mining idus- try threatened with further re.'t'ic' and curtailment but unless s"''ahlo Legislation is enacted by Congress ! serious effect on the economic "c!- fare of the country is r'e,ic,cl by | reason of the fact that the country is clcarly Ewing beyond is present rchns as far as gold consumption is con- of the United States was approximate ly sl0I, 900. 900: in 1920 only $41,5o0, 900 was produced, q shrinkage of more | than fifty per cent. Tn 1915 there was l sold at the mint for manufacturing purposes gold to the aInoun: of little more than s3000oo06 while in 1920 these sales had increased to approx itnately s50,0o0.0o0. Thus, the sale of gold for manufacturing purposes last year was almost twenty-five per cent more than the total produced in all the gold mines of the United states. l; is claimed tha, the reason for the large increase in the sale of gold for manufacturing purposes is to be found ! in the fact that many silversmiths and goldsmitns have come to Ehe Unite !

COUNCILMEN SHOULD BE
COMPENSATED FOR SERVICES

While the ordinance regulating the
salaries of certain city officials was
under discussion at last Mondays ses-
sion of Council, Councilman Stephen
son put in a word for future members
of Council. He brought out the fact
that Council had met practically every
week since the organization on Janu-
airy first last, and the vast amount OF
time it required to properly take care
of the city's affairs by the governing
body. He asked of the Solicitor If 1t
were legal for future Councils to be
compensated for their services, that is,
for the time it required them to put
in, stating that he believed that they
should receive a small compensation
to partly pay them for their time, and
suggesting 500 or $3.50 per a as a
suitable amount. The Solicitor inform
ed the Councilman that this would
have to be done by an ordinance sub
mitted to the voters for their approval
and that if it were submitted at the
coming election, it would become eff
fective next January LIST, provided il
received their support. He also stated
that the present Councilmen whose
terms would not have expired by that
time, would be beneficiaries with the
incoming new councilmen.
This is a matter that has been for
a long time a bone of contention. In
this enlightened age, however, we be-
lieve that the general sentiment of the
public is hat "the laborer is worthy of
ms my" We 5cliavs tat suoh Al
ordinance should be prepared aid sub
mitted to the voters at the coming
election, that the amount should not
be less than $3.50, which would make
a total for the seven Councilmen of
only s1050 a year, and that it would
receive the favorable consideration of
the electorate. At any rate, let's have
the ordinance, and leave it to the good
Judgment of u citizens.

SALARY INCREASES FOR
CITY OFFICIALS

Last Monday evening there was in
troduced in Council an ordinance fix
ing the compensation and fees of GER
tain city officials. AS far as we are
ious officials under this ordiraAce re-
main the same with the single eXcep-
ton of the two assessors, who are
raised 800 each per year. While this
editorial is in no way intended to con-
denim this increase, we are of the
opinion that there are at least two
other faithful city servants who are
justly entitled to consideration if any
salaries are to be increased. We re-
fer to the City Clerk and the City Col
lector. Here are two officials who de-
vote their entire time to the work of
the city-a work that is even growing
and becoming more burdensome from
year to year-who have had no raise
for several years. Notwithstanding
their added duties. While the work
of the assessors has also grown and
they are probably justly entitled to
the increase, still the two officials
named are the only two city officials
elected by the people, who devote all
their time TO the interests of the city.
We believe that this is merely an over
sight on the part of Council, and we
suggest that the ordinance be amend
ed on third reading, so as TO provide
an increase of at least 5000 per annum
for each of these faithful servants.
