Few towns in Alaska this far north enjoy the climate Nature has freely bestowed on Seward At no time this winter has the mercury came within ten degrees or zero, and at no time has the depth of snow exceeded foot. The sun has shown the greater part of the time, and autos have been used constantly on our streets With a coun- try so rich in natural resources and so easy to make living in, our popu- lation should be ten times it's present quota. We can account fer this by the general ignorance Outside of all matters pertaining to Alaska. An ap- propriation by the next legislature for campaign of information would helr bring our population to where i' should be.

ing today the lowest freight rates in continental United States. Passenger. fares including stateroom and meals are a fraction over three cents a mile. Freight rates are about SIS per ton. From twelve to sixteen vessels are ply ing to Alaska to serve less than 25000 people. This means two thousand ton vessel to each two thousand per- sons, or ton to the person per trip. If a government steamship line is es- tablished it will mean that from two to three ships will be put on, carrying the cream of the freight, and for every vessel placed by the government one or more must be pulled off by the con-. panies now doing business.
 Alaska is paying higher freight rate than it should pay on account of the small volume of business. The Vic toria, on her way to this port, has less than 400 tons, leaving nearly 2OOO tons of empty space in her holds. Passen- gers are expensive to carry, and take large share of the profits providing food, service, and laundry for them.
 On a recent trip down on the Admi- ral Watson she carried less than 100 tons of freight, hardly enough for bal last, and was forced to put in at Ocean Falls and load with Canadian paper to complete her cargo. This paper is carried at little over four dollars per ton, from which must come wharfage, stevedoring and other charges.
 While many of us would like to see cheaper rates than we now enjoy, no reasonable man desires service at a

THE BLDG" IS NOT NEW
(Bryan's Commoner.)

Sl.J
 The Eastern papers are bitterly com blaming of the Agricultural Bloc. Some go to the extent of denouncing it as unpatrlotic-if it becomes any more effective than it is it is liable to be called reasonable. All this agitation about the agricultural bloc is very amusing. There has not been time in thirty years when there was not Wall Street Bloc Big Business Bloc, Manufacturers Bloc, or Brewers Bloc. Every important question is lia- 1 ble to shatter party lines. When pro- i h1bltlon became real issue the drys as well as the vets ignored party lines and stood for thte wishes of their con- stituency. The eastern members never regard party lines when question comes up that touches the financial in teTasts, the manufacturers interests, or the big corporations
 The formation of bloc is not unu- s5ual and cannot be regarded as impro- per. The only criticism that can fairly be made agains the agricultural bloc is that it has acted in the open. It's 1 members have not been ashamed to proclaim their purpose to ignore poli- tics; and to defend the interests of the farmer. The financial bloc always worked under cover as do the blocs that promote the interests of big busi- ness.
 The agricultural bloc is largely re- 1 sponsible for the most valuable legis- lation we have thus far had in this i Congress; it secured the passage of the bill regulating the packers; it is responsible for the passage of the bill that protects the farmers from those who used to gamble in his products. The agricultural bloc has recently se- l cured for the farmers a representa- tive on the Federal Reserve Board. This much they have done in the way of securing affirmative relief and then have furnished the nucleus around which sufficient number of Senators and members gathered to prevent the big business bloc from reducing to the extent they desired the taxes on big incomes. They were not able to pre- vent all the reduction attempted but they kept the rate eighteen per cent higher than he big business bloc want ed it.

CAUSES OF DEPRESSION

So long as taxes are confiscato~y and a deterrent to business prosperity can never come to the country. TakeJhe income tax on certain businesses, for example. It takes four per cent from the poor man, which is the interest on his savings, provided he has any. It then goes back and taxes him in a mul- titude of ways. For instance he pays taxes of two per cent to the city for moneys in the bank; he pays the gov ernment four per cent. The bank pays the city two per cent and the govern nGnt a larger sum, on the same money already taxed to the citizen. If the money went to provide jobs for the working man, or to amelioriate his condition in any way, it would not be so bad; but when it is collected Con- gress promptly donates it to starving Russia, to suffering Poland, to injured France and bleeding Belgium. Hun d:eds of commissions are formed, each member drawing a large salary. Inf
