An unusual case of naturalization appeared in the distric. court of Ketchikan recently, when the peti- tion of John Elias Elsted was taken up for consideration.
 Elsted's stepfather became a citi- zen before the petitioner became 3 citizen. Elsted thought that made him a citizen. As such, he married an American girl who also believed him to be a citizen.
 Inquiry made to the bureau of naturalization later revealed the fact he would have to be naturalized to become one. He therefore proceeded to be naturalized and this morning was admitted as a citizen, but just before the oath was administered to him, he was advised that his wife when she married him, under the old naturalization law. lost her citizen snip, but now. under the new nat uralization law, she does not regain | when he became a citizen. And notwithstanding the fact that she was born an American, and that she lost her citizenchip when she mar ried. she must now go into court to be naturalized. She is not required as are men, however, to make any declaration of intention, but may at once file her petition.

That the Alaska Railroads reven- ues for the present year will ma terially exceed the estimates made last spring, is indicated in advices received by Gov. Scott C. Bone from Col. Frederick Mears. It was expect ed by the railroad officials that all operating revenues this year would not surpass S500,OO0.
 That sum had prastically been re- ceived by the railroad at the end of August and Is believed the total may be 50 per cent higher than the es- inmates.
 For the first eight months of the year according to figures received by the Governor, revenues from freight, passengers and excess bag gage amounted to S367.153.14. and ation an additional S100.S11.37 from miscellaneous sources of oper- a.ions S467, ,96451 This covers re- ceipts to the end of August. Septem- Der, October, November and Decem- Der operations it was estimated at that time would, at leas: equal the monthly average of S58,495.56, for the first two-thirds of the year.

Some theories held as To the obligations i'm
posed by a bond issue do not regard those OBJ
legations ms very serious. But sound business
practice and the adequate maintenance Of the
credit of this city demand that It's bond obi
roiions be scrupulously cared for. The com.
misiiuucrs have exercised that care.
This accumulation of 81 900 in excess of
the legal requirement, of the bonds has been
accumulated during a period OF four years. lis
effect upon the tax rate has therefore been
negligible, while the city has been on the safe
side Of the ledger as regards It's obligations.
What reasonable fault can be found with that
kind Of business policyi
Such things as SURPRISES in the city treasury
of Albuquerque We're unknown for many years.
Nothing Of that kind ever happened while Mr..
Tinglcy was an alderman. No doubt il would

URPLUs CITY FUNDS

n The hungry search for some ground for
criticism Of Commissioner Council. M
Laughlin and Reynolds. some investigation
scovered that the city has surplus in its
hiking funds, provided by taxation as required
law for the retirement of hord issues us they
'come due. A wall Immediately went up that
xpayers were beng taxed at rates higher
an necessary IN order 60 pile up q surplus '
Now a surplus isn't such u bad thing. even
sr a city. u is far better than q deficit, and
is city. with its sinking fund requirements
/ divided for, is in far better condition to sell
ore bonds advantageouslv than IL those sink
z funds were in the state of complete neglect
which the present commissioner found them.
II was typical Of the alderman" system Of
III vcrnment that it not only ignored sinking
md requirements but paid only passing AZ.
ntim 90 the date of maturity of bond ISSUES.
4 Thus we find that the city issued a series of
ID-year bonds in 1899 and another series of
pnds in 1869 which latter matured in 20 years
5 a result the sinking fund requirements of
10Th Of 'hcse bond ISSUES became enforceable
the same time. ten years before the maturity
i3ste of the bonds. or in 1919.
\ In 19l7-lS there We're but two sinking fund
lquiremcnts 10 provide for bv taxation. In
Ibis-i9 there were three IN l9l9-l920 there
4 ere four aud in 1920-l92l there were five
IthtS the SINKING tlnd charges Jumped from

L hich reached its highest point in 1919, at
{lll64, dropped to .0l0573 in 1920 and 60 .009s2

IL IS understood by all that the sinking fund

favc simply seen TO il that the law is obeyed
{hd the city's credit protected.
In making the lcvics FOR city purposes the
Commissioner have no definite schedule of
filuation. In other words they have no way of
4n0wing what valuation ON city property the
buniy assessor win bring in. Il may be more
II it may be less than the estimate. Moreover
hey have no means of knowing what per-
4ntage of taxes will be collected. II may be
per cent. or more or less. Their only course,
\ nce they are not the assessing or collecting
authority. is TO levy sufficient to meet the
operating budget and the sinking fund nceessi-
les. II is necessary to leave o margin. If the

he years 1917 and January !. 1929 an excess
e 81 900 has accumulated in the sinking funds,
dver and above the legal requirements of those
1nnds as set by outstanding bond issues.
4 This $1,000 is less than : per cent Of the
fty's total sinking fund reserve.
Is IL better 10 be 5 per cent over the legal
