GATEWAY IS POPULAR

This issue of the Gateway goes to over seven hundred bona tide paid subscribers. Our subscription list has jumped up phenomenally during the past two months and at the present rate of increase by July we will be printing from one thousand to twelve hundred copies.

investment and give fair return for their quid pro quo. This Is exempli- fled by the steamship companies which raised their rates when the cost of operation raised. and which today are giving Alaska the cheapest transpor- tation in the United States of Amer ica. It is shown by the reduction in rates on the Alaska railroad when operating expenses were cheapened. Any tax placed upon 8 commodity or thing is borne by the users of that commodity or thing. Therefore the proposed bill would increase operat- ing costs on the Copper River Rail- road $l00 per mile; Q. E. D. the resi- dents along the railroad would pay $1o0 per mile for service.
 The fault for these radical laws h"s with the voters themselves. who over look the qualifications and radicalisT of candidate by the fact that he ie known to be good fellow" there fore qualified to frame laws for other good fellows. Every chamber of com merce in Alaska should protest em- phatically against further taxes being levied on any industry which builds up any district op section of country.

SCREAM PROGRAM AT LIBERTY

Patrons of the Liberty Theatre who attended last nights performance are of the unanimous opinion that the pro- gram projected was one of the best, for a weekday ,ever to be shown in Seward. A five reel trick comedy kept the audience in an uproar; one reel CT also furnished plenty of mirth. In addition to the fat producing films, there were two Pathes, one of which depicted sporting events, such as bull fights, cooking mains and other past times. The other is an educational fea ture. The program is we'll worth see- ing. Eight reels in all. showing for the last time tonight at the Liberty

 Tomorrow is the day which marks the anniversary of the resurrection of Our Lord, Jesus Christ. Throughout the civilized world due observance of the great event will be made. The rich and poor. the ailing and we'll, all observe The Day when joy was given unto the world by the proof that Christ was immortal; that He was truly the Son of God. On this day the stone rolled away from the mouth of His tomb and Christ emerged tri- umphant The instinct, which every where craves the commemoration of marked epochs in the personal, social, ecclesiastical, or national life, finds qualification in paying homage to Him whose death and resurrection was the foundation of the Christian faith.

SUTHERLAND WINS POINT

The amendment of fisheries reser- yations by the Bureau this week, with attendant broadening of the right of the smaller cannery companies and greater restrictions on the larger con cerns is a decisive victory for Dele gate Dan Sutherland in his fight to conserve the rights of the small oper- ators. Mir. Sutherland has had many of the prescribed areas changed, giE- ing independent canners a chance to operate.
 But the fight is not yet ended. Un- til the delegate compels the packers 10 remove their plants from the mouths of the rivers, the fish supply will be steadily depleted It is in- possible for the fish to spawn when they are pursued for miles into fresh water streams and harassed until the schools are broken up. The delegates recent sensational exposures have resulted in great good for the fishing industry, and has caused the depart mental bureaus to realize that Alas kans will fight to preserve the integ- rity of Territorial resources. Until the packers pay reasonable sum for doing business in Alaska, and are re- strained from wasting edible fishes, Alaskans will be found squarely be- hind Mir. Sutherland endorsing his every action.
 MT. Sutherland's fight will ultimate ly result in Territorial control of our fisheries and our seal herds.

THE ALASKA WEEKLY

The Alaska Weekly, published in Seattle by Charles E. Heron and con- freres is new publication which has come to our exchange table. It is edit ed by James A. Wood; L. F. Shaw, a well-known Alaskan being news edi- tor, and Earle w. Knight, who was re- sponsible for the success of the Gold. en Spike edition of the Alaska Dis patch being advertising manager. The news is a valuable addition to Alaskan newspapers, and will be of great help in developing the Territory.

DESTRUCTIVE LEGISLATION

Representative Dan Callahan of the
 Fourth division this week introduced
 bill in the Territorial legislation proposing mileage tax of $100 per mile on railroads operated within the Territory by any person, corporation,
 or company. The bill requires rail.
 roads to operate under licenses ob-
 tained from the Territorial secretary.
 The proposed tax would not only ap-
 ply to main line mileage. but also to
 branches, sidings and switches. A
 penalty of twelve per cent per annum
 is provided for in case of refusal or
 neglect to pay the tax. and violation
 of the act is declared to be a n!s-
 demeanor and each day ot operation
 before the tax or license is paid is to
 be regarded as separate offense. En-
 forcement of the act is placed Tn the
 the hands of the Attorney General or
 other ieaai counsel employed in the
 Territory.
 While the general tenor of the bill
 is possibly aimed at the Copper River Railway, we believe it to be the most destructive bit of legislation ever in troduced in the Territorial legislature by any man or body of men. Were this bill to carry it would absolutely shut out development of the Territory other than by governmental forces, and would prevent the establishment of switches and sidings at many ne cessary points on account of the cost.
 The bill would seriously handicap the only railway in the Territory do ing business as a corporation, and in'I case the tax was added, it would be passed on to the consumer, already paying high transportation rate. The towns of Chitina, Mccarthy and Ken necott, and part of the division repre- sented by MT. Callahan would pay this tax. No one would be benefited. but all would be harmed.
 Legislation to be beneficial must be We have too many laws capital; too much radical ! ism, and not enough of the spirit Of The legislator anxious to a bill providing further rev enues for the Territory forget th@ these taxes in the long run come out of the pockets of the people. The actual harm in this case would be to add to the burdens of the residents along the right -of-way of the Copper River Railroad. This road was built | to haul ore for the kenne- colt Corporation, but it is also used as a vehicle of transportation for the settlers themselve. Their goods, their l families and their supplies are hauled in and out by this route. In case 6 private corporation desired to take over the Alaska Railroad it would cause freight and passenger rates to be raised to a point which would ab- sorb the mileage tax. It has been proved that where company or cor poration can operate cheaply that the people are the gathers. Far from be- ing soulless most corporations are sat isfied with reasonable interest on an

Special Entertainment
Features Planned for
"Y" Social Tonight

All the plans for a most pleasant
evening have been completed by the
Y. NJ. c. A. Boys Department Social
Committee in preparation for the
big social that is to be held in the
"Y" Gym this evening. at o'clock.
This social will be practically the
same in character as the two pre-
ceding ones that have been pro-
nounced successes and have proved
to be great drawing cards with the
younger set of Augusta.
Festivities will begin at O'Clock
with music furnished by the "Y'
boys orchestra who have worked
I'D for themselves n very enviable
reputation in the short period of
their existence. Among the very eX
cellent performers for the evenings
entertainment are Miss Frances
1<insman. who is to give speciality
dance. Miss kinsman is one of Au-
gusta's coming star performers and
all those who will be fortunate
enough to see her in action Satur-
day night will be in for a real treat.
Following Miss Kinsman will be a
saxophone duet by the two star sax
ophone artists of the orchestra.
Messrs. Robert Plummer and Gerald
Gasper. There will also be an elm
nation dance during the course of
the evenings program for which the
winners will be awarded suitable
prizes.
The Gym will be suitably decor
ated for the occasion and spirit of
fun will pervade the entire building
the whole of the evening. From all
reports there will be large num-
Der present, and plans for their en-
tertainment have been carefully
taken care of.
This social like it's predecessors is
strictly invitational and only those
with invitations signed by the Buys
Secretary will be admitted.
