Mrs. k. P. Werner
 Tells About Kodiak

Mir. and Mrs. E. P. Werner and daughter, Miss Dora, formerly of Me- Grath, and who left for the coast last winter, are now located at Kodiak. Writing from that place to Tokotna friend, Mrs. Werner says;
 .sW ell, here we are on an island. at Kodiak, the oldest and most permanent sown in Alaska, and will say the pret- tiest place I have ever been in since l came to Alaska. It has all the relics of the old Russian days.
 ''The hills are all covered9with thick grass, and herds of cattle graze upon them. Almost every one has COW, chickens and geese. They run loose everywhere and are not at all afraid. The bay is so pretty. Every day many fishing boats come in to bring fish to the cannery. There are quite a num- ber of people employed. This will be the apex of the western coast for the fishing industry.
 s'phe New England Fish Company are putting up large cold storage plant, which will cost one million dol lars, and that will make Kodiak a great place.
 ''I got here in the right time. Have bought house and big lot, and have a foundation for building for hotel. People are here from ali parts oi Alaska. There is fellow here who cut ten. cords of wood for Charlie Rebhun at MeGrath two years ago.
 'sWe left Anchorage the 29th of May. Dora was promoted to the sixth grade, anh passed high with her examina- l, There is a good school here, with three teachers.
 "The news has just arrived that the i. Standard Oil Company has struck oil at Kanatak, at depth of 2.300 feet. There is 8 terrific ho" of gas. This is considered by the oil experts to mean shat gusher is there"

No More Bonus for
 Government Employees

The appropriation bill providing $40 year bonus for all federal employees in the classified civil service whose salaries are S2, 800 a year or less and allowing S5, GOO for similar distribution among those in the field service on ac- count Of the high war cost of living, failed to become law in the recent session of Congress.
 This means S20 a month less pay after June 30 last, for all government employees whose pay is S2, 500 a year or less. It affects hundreds of federal em- ployes in Alaska, including those en- ployed in the Forest Service, Bureau of Education, Bureau of Public Roads, Alaska Road Commission, Customs Ser, vice, immigration Service, Bureau of Fisheries, Biological Service, Light house Service, U. s. Land Office, Sur veyor Generals Office, Bureau of U. S. Surveys, the postoffice service, Alaska Railroad. etc.

 Huge Sum Yearly

Chicago.-Sickness among industrial workers in the United States causes a money loss each year of nearly three quarters Of 8 billion dollars, declared J. E. Andrews, secretary of the American association for labor legislation, before the meeting of the association of gov. ernment labor officials.
 One-fourth of this loss, he said, can be prevented.

as compared with 1920, will be full,

What better eviderce could be want
ed for sound business administra
tor of state affairs? This is not q
promise of strict economy. 1t is
strict economy.
But let US look at the record for
ipast five years five years of Repub
lican state administration The fig
ures surely speak for themselves:
In 1920 the total amount of tax
money raised for state purposes was
sa,o5e, e41.s4.
In 1921 the total amount of tax
money raised for state purposes, was
ls2. s47. e5e.e4.
In 1922 the total amount of tax
money raised for state purposes was
s2,7a1 ,oo5o5.
IN 1923 the total amount of tax
money raised for state purposes was
50 CSC. oooe1.
And, it is estimated, the total q
mount of tax money to be raised for
state purposes will be s2.soo.ooo for
1924.
This example in state government
tai management. has become contagi-
Gus It is being followed bv many
counties. Pruring is being made by
local taxing bodies. although local
taxes are still far from the low level
they should be. Governor Moore's e.
cononv in business ranaeerant hoe
been accepted as a criterion in mary
localities ard counties.
Yet the cost of county government
in Idaho is still nearly three times as
much as the cost of state govern
o,ent. In Idaho today the cos
cal government in 21O1 taxing u
units within the state is well over
ten times as much as the cost Of all
state functions. Still twenty-one
counties show a reduced levy for
county purposes in 1923 ard further
reduction will be shown with the close
of the present year.
The inevitable conclusions that
must be reashed by this showing are:
That our state taxes are the
short end of the tax payers bur-
dens.
That for FIVE years now there
has been a steady and consist
ent reduction in state taxes in
Idaho.
That all those years there was
Republican administration in
charge of the states business.
That this reduction could not
have been made possible unless
there had been strict economy.
That Governor Moore has prov

tiaI business man and manager

|DAHO'S STATE TAX REDUCTION record

PRACTICALLY one fourth of tht
tax burden for state purposes has
been lifted from the shoulders OF
property owners since 1920. That
is an important statement The claim
of the present Republican state ad
ministration in power It is the rec
ord upor witch Governor c. c. Moore
stands for reelection in Idaho.
And It will be a fact hard to
refute by those political agencies
that seek to brino about change
in the management of state aft
airs and substitute in the place
of that administration one which
offers promises, but does not
have the record that Governor
Moore and his official family
have to back them.
The average taxpayer, unfortunate
as it may seem but true nevertheless,
does not realize the state tax he pays
is the smallest of 7lI taxes he is re-
CURED to meet. Because his taxes
are high, he is inclined, without first
eoirg into the facts, to place the blame
on the state administration ir, power.
This is. of course. ar erroneous con-
clusion and decidedly unfair to the
marty in power If he took the trouble
TO make an investigation he would
quickly realize that local tavirg bod
les. not the state. are RESPONSIBLE for
the high taxes he is paving; that the
state tav is small comDared 70 the
school ard such other taxes as he IS
renrired RI nav IF he was onlv con-
fronted with the state taxes HIS bur
der would be light indeed.
For five years now Republican adj
in this state have been
whiting away at the state 1evies and
for four years they have each succeed
irg year, reduced the tax levy. Less
money has been necessary each of
those five years to corduct the bust
ness of the state And if less money
was raised for the management of
the state, it necessarily follows tax
payers paid in less money to the
states treasury, so that the berle-
fit of the reduced tax 1evies was pass
ed on to them.
In 1923, the first year of the admin
of Governor Moore, there
was a decidedly heavy reduction as
to 1920. In 1921 there was
/ small reduction iri the amount OF
he tax money raised for state pur-
poses. as compared to 1920, the total |
amount TO the reductions for all the
being s212,e7120 In 1922
here was a larger reduction as COM
pared with 1920. the total amount for
I'll counties being s327.99679. In
1923 there was a reduction of s703,- !
24093 or an average reduction of
Ill counties of % per cert over 1920.
That is indeed a remarkable show
ing = one upon which Governor |
Moore and his administration have ev
cry reason to feel proud of.
