Sure-Fire Scheme to Develop Territory ProposedBy Texan

ing consummation of the deal de- sires to secure an option on the properties mentioned so casually.
 Governor Bone, without going into the feasi sibility of the scheme, is inclined to fear that some of the Washington Bureaus might take umbrage if he should begin indis- criminate peddling of property under their control. Then, too, he doubts if it would be possible to get the Bureau of Mines, George Parks and his Field Service force, Frank Boyle and the U. s. Land Office, Dr. Brooks and the Geological Survey or any other of the Federal agencies, to assemble all of this land to meet with the wishes oh the gentleman from Texas Otherwise, he admits, the scheme might work.
The Alaska daily empire., 1921-10-28

i The question of what is necessary to bring about the development of Alaska is one that has engaged the attention of hundreds of people in- cluding Representatives. Senators, 1 Cabinet officers and even Presidents. While there have beenNalmost as many remedies proposed as there were individuals engaged in the study of the question, none of those most advertised for their efforts have as yet solved the problem.
 Solution Is Simple.
 i But it has been solved. So sim pie is the solution that there is cause for amazement that it has occurred to no one before. And, too, ! as has so often been predicted. the solution is offered by one who, like so many other would-be saviors of the Territory. has never seen Alaska.
 As the legal fraternity would phrase it, comes now your rescuer and asks that all public lands in this Territory be classified as, to content; that the gold bearing ground be gathered together and consolidated as one body; that sim iliarly other public lands also be col lected, all the coal put in one tract, the copper in another, the silver in still another, timber in fourth and so on until the classification and consolidation is completed
 This being done, sell these tracts cheaply so that your rescuer and others to come after. their heirs and assigns, etc., may organize com panies and sell stock, herewith and thereby to develop the aforesaid Ter ritory of Alaska.
 This is in effect the minerals solution offered by one J. T. Pamp- lin of Blue. Ridge Collin County, Texas. In letter just received from MT. Pamplin by Gov. Scott C.. Bone, the former sets forth his idea fully and apparently in all sin cerity.
 Edited and corrected as to minor details such as spelling, punctuation and other details of construction, Mr. Pamplin writes as follows: General Manager of Public Lands. Dear Sir:
 'I want to know ifssyoiI would sell me a. tract of land firIhe min ing section near Fairbanks in the gold region. would like to get some where near 1000, 900 acres, that is, if we could agree on the price and terms; one-auarter Ofssa million acres gold mining pfoperty; onc-quarter of million oil land, one quarter of miHiQp coal min ing land, one-quartersfOf million copper and other lands. I think I cauid get three or four companies organized and at work. There will be lots of work to do. The land must come cheap so there will be some chance to organize companies to do the work MT. Pamplin also asks for favorable terms and pend

Anniversary Edition

The Washington Times comes to
us this week from DR.. M. G.. Gibbs
with the anniversary sales event of
fourteen pages in one issue, illus
'trated with the photo-engravings of
the twelve drug stores and the man
ayers, DR.. Gibbs occupying the center
of the first page. These fourteen
pages are filled with all of the mod
ern drug requirements and sundries,
a combination of well known staple
and fancy goods and special features,
assembled from the four quarters of
the globe and the leading manufac-
turers and jobbers. There are a
number of useful articles for free
distribution which always make
these anniversary events more popu-
lar. DR.. Gibbs is still "going up" in
the drug trade and this number of
the Times is a very interesting study
of the enterprise in which so many
of the former friends in Union City
are interested.

on imports, manufactures, success
sions, documents, personal property
buildings or improvements, would
disappear. Nothing made by men
would be taxed at all The right OF
private property in all things made
by men would thus be absolute, for
the owner of such things could not
be Invested of his property, without
full compensation, even upon the pre-
tence of taxation"
From a monetary standpoint, the
owners of the right to private occu-
pancy and use of land (including
natural resources) are the chief
beneficiaries of the state, which
grants these rights and protects
them, and inasmuch as this is the
source of all wealth the tax burden
should rest principally upon this
form of property. The farmer who
is Industrious and thrifty and stocks
his farm with good cattle, should not
be taxed heavier than the shiftless
fellow who holds lands of equal val
ue, but who squanders the revenue
from his farm in riotous living. The
people feel that the state has no
claim on the personal property they
have acquired by dint of hard work
and economical living. The states
claim is upon the land.
To increase an assessment on a
home because man paints his house
and plants out a hedge and his wife
keeps the place looking attractive, is
an atrocity; to levy a tax upon the
savings account is worse. Yet as the
law now stands it is the tax asses
sor's sworn duty to assess all proper
ty and all alike.
These are matters which strike at
the fundamental principles underly-
ing our taxing system and l would
like to see a full and free discussion
of them. JOHN ROGERS,
City Tax Attorney for
the City of Knoxville.

To the School Children.

Last year and the year before we
sent letters to your teachers, asking
that they tell you about the little
homeless orphan boys and girls at
the Tennessee Children's Home in
Nashville, and how much we needed
your help in raising money to pro-
vide them with good, wholesome
food for which many of them almost
starved before they were sent to us,
and warm winter clothing which
many of them never had before, and
to help find them each a good home
and good mother and father to love
and cherish them as your mothers
and fathers love and cherish you.
The response to this appeal was
wonderful and, through the help
from the school children and other
friends we have been able, during the
last year, to actually find homes for
two hundred and thirty little home
less boys and girls and to help many
others in various ways.
This year we are going to make
our Christmas appeal to you through
the newspaper because we feel that
in this way a still larger number of
people will hear of our needs and
will help us to meet them, but we
want each of you to feel that this
appeal is to you PERSONALLY and
we want you to take this up with
your class mates, with your Sunday
School, with your fathers and moth
ers and all your friends and 20 raise
all the money you can and send it to
the Tennessee Children's Home So
ciety, 901 Acklen avenue, Nashville,
Tennessee.
We want you to also help us find
good homes for ten little boys and
twelve little girfs from two to nine
years of age, and for the seventeen
little babies from one to ten months
of age now in the Receiving Home.
AS you, in your own comfortable
homes with your own good mothers
and fathers plan for the coming of
Christmas and Santa Claus, will you
not think of these blessings and
help find homes and mothers and
fathers for them? And will you not
raise ALL THE MONEY you can to
help us care for and find homes for
all the other homeless little boys and
girls who will come to us during all
next year?
We are depending upon you and
we know you will help all you can,
for we are sure you have read that
1T is not the will of your Father
that one of these little ones should
perish" Your friend,
MRS. CLAUD d. SULLIVAN,
Superintendent.
