ON THEIR MERITS

Each member of the Territorial leg islature is going to Juneau with the avowed intention of cutting down taxes. The 1923 session is no excep- tion to the rule Today the demand for lower taxes is so evident that the legislator with bad hearing can sense it. It is reasonable that there should be a lessening of taxes, for the war IS over and prices have dropped to noint where a man can buy Deel- steak with less than days wages.
 It is to be hoped that the coming Territorial legislature will make fewer appropriations and prune off some o1 the official deadwood that has accu- mulatei the past sessions. The tax savers do not want any worthy Dill sacrificed by cheese-p pairing, but there are very few bills left to introduce. We have too many laws now. A large number of them could be repealed ana our people would be better of.

HARDING AND ALASKA

Probably Alaskans who have been living for years on hope deferred, see a sign of promise in the plan of Pres ident Harding to visit the territory next summer. They know that as tit ular head of the government President Harding yields a powerful influence on public policy and also that if the president can be enlisted in support of a program for the development of the Territory it will have a good chance of adoption. First hand information may serve to clear up much of the ignorance about the north country.
 While the territory is governed by commissions. over a telegraph wire of red tape at a distance of 5000 miles from the natural seat of government, there can be little expectation Of real development. Alaska is victim ot neglect and red tape without immedi- ate hope of improvement.

The attack made by Delegate Suth erland upon the large fishing interests and the charge that they are attempt ing to freeze out the smaller canners and secure a monopoly, has aroused considerable interest in Alaska. Until the matter is more thoroughly investl- gated the Gateway has little criticism to offer either way, but it does believe that a fight made ten years ago to pro tect the fisheries would have been oi more importance and would have say cd our fisheries. It is of little use now to lock up the cage after the bird has flown.

France is finding itself a great deal like the man who caught the bear by the tail It is afraid to let go. Ger many's alacrity in mobilizing troops and Russia's warning that it will stand behind Germany in resisting French encroachments has caused alarm Tn the French capital. The least lack of diplomacy on the part of either coun- try may plunge the world into anoth- CT bloody war.

WHY NOT SUTHERLAND?

The retirement of Secretary Fall, of the Department of the Interior. will upset any plans the administration may have for placing the government out knowing whether Falls plan was an ideal one, it has been stated that he really proposed to give Alaska en- .couragement in it's pleas for develop 4nent. Who Falls successor will be on March is not known, but why not give the job to Dan A. Sutherland, present delegate from Alaska, and one of the best posted men on Alas kan affairs ever sent to the nations capital. It is doubtful if a Western man could be secured from the coast who would be familiar with conditions in Alasha The type of politician sent out from Seattle knows little else but politics, and we have had a surplus of political mismanagement. MT Suth- erland has learned Alaska from behind the scenes. He has mushed over the Territory, dogsledded it, carried mail, mined, prospected and commanded a halibut schooner He has worked hip deep in muck and siwashed it on the trails.

GOVERNMENT SECURITIES

As showing a tendency in the right direction it is interesting that many of the holders of war saving stamps, issued in 1918 and now matured, are exchanging them for the new issue of treasury certificates, which bear four per cent interest. compounded semi annually. The rush for conversion is noted in every postoffice in the coun- try.
 Millions of dollars worth of stamps, bought at time when the country needed the money to carry on the world war, are going into the new government issues, which are equally as sound. This indicates several

things-that most of the people are financially able to invest their war savings; that the habit of thrift is i'm planted in the national mind, and that the people have implicit faith in the soundness of the government securi- ties. If the American dollar had been inflated to point that European mon- ey has, these millions would be spent riotously lest their value undergo a further decline.
