dustries which have been struggling to Keep thelr above water until the arrival Of better day.
 When people discus the taxes on the mining it should be forgotten that they, ike other industries and enterprises. are required to pay very heavy income to meet the costs ot the National Government and the late war The Ken necott company recently passed dividend, the La touche mine has closed down and the Alaska Gas tineau has announced that it will close within a month. That is not very promising record Tor those who are seeking capital for the development of mining properties take to investors. If in ad- dition to that record those who need money with which to develop mines had been compelled to say that in these days of stress in the North, these days when rigid economy and severe thrift IS belnS urged in all parts of the Nation, Alaska raised the tax mines 50 per cent it is not hard to realize that the man with money would have very little to encourage the miner in Alaska attitude.
 The people of the North doing all within their power get Congress to increase the price of gold by giving producers bonus. It is generally that the present is time when the mines need encouragement not Encouragement and heavier taxes.
 It will be freely admitted that the fisheries farcd rather badly in having their taxes raised. That is reason why the mines should have fared badly also Two wrongs do not make right.

Empty Arguments for a Farm Tariff.
New YOst Post. )


 Against arguments used for the farm tariff, as Congressional debata on it draws to close every must protest. Representative Young said in the House that last year America inn ported almost $500, 900 900 in foreign farm prod ucs. This is superfcally true but the figure represents products that American farmers do not grow and how far in almost every other class of products American exports outweigh imports. The largest single import item $252, ,000, 900 for coffee. Our imports of cocoa and bananas were worth as much those of wheat though much of the Canadian wheat 'imported'' to be trans shipped abroad Our corn imports, mainly a hard variety not here were about one-third those of cocoanus 1t frighten some people to learn that imports of meat and dairy products $64 900 900: but the fact isn't terrifying when recall that exports of these products close to $550 000 g So with Senator Capper's argument that to ship a bushel of wheat from Minneapolis to New York costs 38 cents. from South America to New York 12 cents It does not take long to remember that Argentine wheat is not grown the Buenos Aires waterfront and that freight hauls from Cordoba or Rio Negro to shipboard cost the Argentine farmer tidy Moreover, wheat in ships in this harbor requires the transsshpment; and rate adjustments coming. The argument based the supposed cheap land "cheap labor of competing agricultural nations have nothing like the force easily attri- buted to them. Europe thinks it is land that is cheap; there is cheap labor in Australasia, where living standards among the very highest in the world, or in Argentina, where living costs are notoriously high.
 The American farmer, with his wide acres his unequalled machinery, his industry, and enterprise, is the most efficient agricultural producer in the world and need have scant fear of competition Sen ator Capper himself states in Capper's Weekly that New Zealand farmers gets 12 to 13 cents pound for calkins, American farmers or cents. Yet with such prices ruling in New Zealand invited to erect tariff wall to shut out Australasian hides

FAILURE OF MEMORIAL SHOULD NOT
 STOP MOVEMENT.

The failure in the House of Representatives of the Hunt Memorial, asking for tariff fresh fish prepared for shipment in foreign country, whether caught by Americans otherwise, should not cause the people of Southeastern Alaska any worry, The demand is based on sound principles. The conten ton hat such tariff would destroy the Prince Rupert market for Alaska fishermen is not tenable. for the reason that the Grand Trunk Railroad could very well prepare accept fish transcontinental transportation at American ports. It would do so if the proposed tariff levied. Prince Rupert fish buyers could, and would, come to American ports to procure their fish instead compelling the American fishermen to it to that place. The result would be that American towns would get the benevts Of American industry
 If there is any virtue all in protective tari one would think 1t would be apparent any it would be well to it for the purpose of pro tectng for Americans American trade. The tariff as Tar as the situation in Alaska is concerned would not enect foreign imporations.

ONE OF WARS COSTS.

The closing of the Alaska Gastineau Mining Company is one of the costs of the World War Manager George T. Jackson, in the statement he gave yesterday, said if the costs of operations could have been kept down to the figures that ob- tained in 1915 tho mine would have been success. As it is the stockholders of the greatest gold mines that was ever created in America have prob ably lost millions
 There is a silver lining in the cloud however, and is the prospect that the Alaska Gastineau mine will be followed by pulp and paper making industry to rise on it's ashes The company has de- veloped wonderful hydro-eectric power system, and it has wharves and buildings, that make it possible fo< the manufacturing of paper to start within year the beginning of construction pulp and paper mills It is believed that work these mills will begin by midsummer, and if that should be the case within a short time there will be several times az many people employed at Thane as are now working there and Perseverance combined.
 So as far as Juneau is concerned, the builders of the Alaska Gastineau have done great things. This property caused the reuvinaton of this city, start ing renewed growth that augmented and : tnucd with the development of the Alaska Juneau. It has laid the foundation for great pulp and paper manufacturing city.
 The closing of the Alaska Gastineau mine is reflection upon the management of the property Its whole has been characterized by very high class management and engineering skill, and managere and owners have made a brave fight for the life of the property and great mining record. For months it has been kept going while managers and owners hoped against hope for a change in the conditions of the country that would reduce operation expenses For time, particularly when Secretary of the Treas ury McAdoo became interested, it hoped a bonus would be allowed for the production of gold If that had succeeded the mine would be a pay ing basis It might be, if Congress would quick 7 bass the McFadden Gold Bonus Bill, that the mine would yet continue to operate and again become one of the great gold producing properties of the country.
