SURTAX CUT WOULD PAY NATION

In his last annual report, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon suggested that the highest surtax rates on individual incomes be re- duced from 50 to 25 per cent adding that in his opinion the Government would still obtain "as large, or larger, revenues" Many members of Congress were skeptical and in dicated that they ''were from Missouri.'
 It appears that all the surtaxes in excess of the rate of 25 per cent now yield only a total of about $1OO,OOOOOO At the same time it is figured that the rush of investors into tax-free securities occasions the Government loss of between $50O00,000 and $1,OOO,0OO- GOO annually
 Now that the Government takes 5S per cent of all individuals income in excess of $2OO.OOO year, the wealthy man prefers to put his money into taX-eXempt securities. He will not put in into commercial securities or enterprises. It is found that the average in dividual is willing to pay income taxes up to a certain point; above that he will do all he can to make his income decrease or disappear altogether. !
 Net incomes from all classes increased from $6. .29S 100000 in 1916 to $23,735,OOOOOoo in 1920. and the number of returns from 437,- 900 in 1916 to 7,259,O00 in 1920. The returns from incomes over $300,000 decreased from 1 .296 in 1916 to 395 in 1920, and the incomes from those cases decreased from $992,972,0oo in 1916 to $246, ,345 000 in 1920. The total yield of all surtaxes for the year 1922 is not eX- pected to exceed $350,0OO000, whereas in 1919 it was $SOO000,00O.
 Since returns from general incomes have increased more than four times, 1t IS far to assume that incomes over $30O,0OO increased also; yet the gradual decline in the returns shows tendency to avoid large income taxes by diverting investments to tax-exempt se- curities.
 The figures seem to show that the Treasury is right in claiming that reduction of the highest s11rtax rates from 50 to 25 per cent will in all probability increase the revenue of the Treasury. At least it will reduce the incentive to avoid paying income taxes.

ment would be under the laws of the land. Taxes would be levied and labor conditions regulated according to laws made by the people, Taxes would be levied and labor conditions regulations under the law. No one ever has proposed to corner Alaska's re sources. It could not be done. They are too enormous and too widely distributed for that Why not let those with capital acquire all they are able to develop? It would bring people to Alaska to better their condition and ours It would furnish markets for those in the States It would make the country larger because it would provide opportunities foT employment of people and capital in other lines. It would develop prosperity for people who would become developers themselves.
 This palaver about the opening of the re sources of Alaska to the "rapacity of the few'' and about permitting few people to corner the Territory for "eelfish purposes is mere noise uttered for political effect by those who do not know the meaning of what they say.-Juneau Empire

ally, the source of it's ideals, it's organization and it's leadership.
 Democratic devotion to popular liberty is demonstrated by the fact that the size of the popular vote in the several states is in inverse proportion to the Democratic plural Iities. In other words, the bigger the Demo- icratic plurality, the smaller the percentage of people permitted by the laws to participate lin elections. In these states of the Solid South Ithimberrigging elections laws deny to all fthimble-rigging election laws deny to all san oligarchv the right of square deal in registration upon election or registration boards.
 Naturally the states so dominated by a bourbon, reactionary political machine lag far behind the Republican states of the Union in everything that represents institutional progress. They have no public press repre- senting both the major political parties, and therefore have but one side of public questions presented. The people hear no real discussion of political or economic issues.
 Into Senator Owens own state of OEIla- homa this reactionary political oligarchy has carried the idea of prostituting election and registration machinery to selfish partisan ends. Oklahoma has election and registration laws notorously devised for the purpose of preventing a fair expression of public sentl- ment at the polls. There has never been any indication that Senator Owen, an apostle of democracy from the teeth out is not thorough lv in sympathy with the Solid South system of disfranchsement, which has robbed hundreds of thousands more white men than black of their citizenship rights.
 Southern Democratic orators who come into Northern Republican states to talk about pop ular education and human liberty, evidently suppose that their audiences are ignorant Of the performances which give such professions the lie. When Senator Owens talks about a Federal "Democratic, thorough going corrupt nractices act'' he invites his hearers to laugh loudly at his little joke in view of the record of his party on this matter in the states where it has had unlimited power to make corrup- ton and fraud the accepted official method of carrying elections

NEWSPAPER BILL FAILS

News dispatches from JuDean state that Senators Dimond and Chamberlm of this division failed to secure the passage of thelr act designed to protect the newspapers Of the Territory against tinerant competition. The bill was defeated in committee by a vote of six to two It was designed primarily to fix the legal status of newspaper Tn the 1er'l- tory. there being no laws yet passed deflnng or fixing the legal status of paper. The Washincton laws define the status of news naper as ono with general circulation having been published for at least year.
 While there are many laws on the statute books protecting merchants from the ltlneranf competitor newspapers of Alaska have had no protection There is nothing to prevent any man from starting a paper Tn any field where the pickings are good, running for time. and then jumping to other fields. There is no doubt that every town in Alaska has newspapers to fill the field, and additional papers would only add to the burden of the merchants and advertisers Many times m the past factions have sprung up which have desired to drive out the established papers bv placing cheap plants in the field and b1d- ding on work at riunous price. They flour ished for a time and then died, leaving unpaid bills and disorganized field
 The law is good one and should have been passed If a merchant is deserving of pro- lection why not the paper that helps build up his business.-Seward Gateway.

While The Times regrets the change in administration at this time and sincerely be- lleves that Col. Mears should have been per mltted to finish the splendid work so we'll done and nearly completed, it is fortunate that man of Col. Steese's proven ability has been chosen to assume the toga.
 It Is freely admitted that Col Steese is a diplomat; he is tactful he is influential and can command a hearing at court Col. Steese has very ably managed the intricate affairs of the Alaska Road Commission. With our friends and enemies we sincerely trust Col. Steese is also a railroad builder and operator. As previously stated, The Times will support the regime of Col. Steese with the same un- faltering trust we have supported Col Mears Anchorage Times.
